Chapter 102 Village Meeting
An Jianguo and his wife arrived at just the right time.
The two had barely sat down when the village committee members arrived.
After confirming that everyone had arrived, Captain Jiang Wenlin spoke first: "Since everyone is here, let's get started!"
"First of all, every household in the village received their first compensation payment yesterday, and I would like to remind you of that again."
"Money that comes easily should not be spent easily."
"Don't be fooled by the large amount of compensation this time; they've destroyed all of our ancestral property."
"From now on, not only those of you here, but also your sons and grandsons, will have to rely on this sum of money in your hands to start their own businesses."
"Where's the money? There's also the house! Just leave it to our children and grandchildren!" someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
An Songyu looked in the direction of the sound, but only saw a large group of people like her, craning their necks to look.
I didn't see clearly who was speaking.
However, Jiang Wenlin on the stage, whether in terms of his position or his understanding of the villagers, saw people very clearly.
He stared at the man coldly for a while before sneering, "What? Jiang Village has been requisitioned, so I, the team leader, am no longer a threat?"
"Don't forget, even if I'm not the captain, I'm still an elder of the clan."
"How about we take advantage of the relocation of our ancestral hall and bring out the ancestral family rules to seal them up?"
As soon as Jiang Wenlin said this, not to mention the person who had just spoken, everyone else was speechless.
The other people with the surname Jiang also fell silent.
As for the An family, they have never liked to speak at village committee meetings.
In the past, they were suppressed by the Jiang family.
Later, the An family also prospered and didn't want to argue with the Jiang family in a place like a village committee meeting.
Jiang Wenlin waited a while, and when no one spoke again, he continued the previous topic:
"I don't care what the situation is in the other villages!"
I don't care what you're thinking!
"But there's one thing you need to remember clearly!"
"Absolutely stay away from gambling, prostitution, and drugs!"
“If anyone in our village gets involved with these things, and they are from the Jiang family, I will definitely ask our ancestors for punishment without hesitation.”
"I won't even need the police to come; I'll personally deliver him!"
"As for those of you with the surname An..."
Jiang Wenlin turned to look at the village party secretary next to him.
An Jianxing returned to his village after graduating from university and became a village cadre.
Despite his young age, as a young cadre, he does indeed have a deeper understanding of the policies from above.
Combine policy with reality.
The agritainment businesses in their Jiangcun village have almost all developed to their current state thanks to his help.
Therefore, his words are not only found among people with the surname An, but also among people with the surname Jiang.
At this moment, under Jiang Wenlin's gaze, An Jianxing directly took out a piece of paper and showed it to everyone:
"In Jiangcun, the Jiang and An families are one family."
"But with the demolition, everyone scattered."
"This document is signed by all my uncles and elders with the surname An that I asked today."
"They promised that their entire family would abide by the law, even if they left Jiangcun."
“If anyone violates this rule, they will work with me to help the police bring the person to justice.”
"As for the rest of the village..."
An Jianxing put down the paper in his hand, scanned the crowd below one by one, and then said:
"Those who are in charge of their own households, please come over after the village meeting!"
An Jianxing did not explain why he had come.
Jiang Wenlin couldn't help but smile slightly.
He certainly wouldn't expose An Jianxing's little tricks here.
There are still important things to do at today's village meeting.
So, Jiang Wenlin then announced some matters that the village committee had discussed, taking into account the situation in the village.
Then came the formal part of today's village meeting:
"Recently, everyone in the village has been quite busy because of the demolition and relocation."
"The reason I've gathered everyone here today is to discuss the relocation of graves in our village."
"As you all probably know, our village will completely cease to exist after this demolition."
"And our sleeping ancestors will be invited to the ancestral hall that the government has specially designated for us."
At this point, Jiang Wenlin paused slightly before continuing:
"Because of regulations, burial is no longer an option in the new ancestral hall."
"So the next step is to discuss with each family how to relocate these ancestral graves."
"In theory, the government has already compensated each family with the demolition compensation for the graves."
"But the situation in our village is a little different."
“From the beginning of the centralized management of mulberry-dike-fishpond systems, we have continued the practice of clan land management from our ancestors.”
"Therefore, part of the cost of demolishing this grave will also be covered by the village's public funds."
"Now I will make it clear to everyone that each family's ancestral graves involve their own circumstances, and it is difficult to keep the timing of the relocation of graves consistent."
"Then you can register your time at the village committee."
"As for the time of moving to the ancestral hall, it must be kept consistent."
"Of course, while this is a hard and fast rule, it's not entirely without room for negotiation."
"Everyone is probably aware of the situations that can be discussed."
"Each party should handle it on its own after the meeting!"
"In addition, the village committee paid to hire professionals."
"After the meeting, if there are no other plans, we will go with these feng shui masters to confirm the time for relocating the ancestral graves."
"If you have other plans, then make them yourself."
"Just report the confirmed time to the village committee."
Just as Jiang Wenlin finished speaking and was about to adjourn the meeting, some people in the crowd couldn't wait any longer:
"Village chief, is this the very reason we're holding this village meeting today?"
Jiang Wenlin and the others exchanged glances. Seeing everyone's expectant looks, they hesitated for a moment, but decided not to announce the news directly.
So he said, "I am well aware of what everyone is concerned about."
"The people in charge from each family will stay behind later. Besides telling them the time to discuss the demolition of the grave and how to do it."
"There are things you care about that we need to discuss."
After saying that, the village committee members left without trying to keep them company.
Those who were left behind looked at each other, and finally stood up.
The village committee had already mentioned the relocation of the graves when they issued the notice.
So quite a few families had already made preparations.
This also includes An Songyu's family.
Hearing that there were still things to discuss, An Shunhe simply took his sons to welcome the feng shui master they had specially invited.
As for the village committee, let the women in the family participate!
On the contrary, their family has always had a fine tradition.
Important matters should be discussed and decided upon, while minor matters can be decided by the women themselves.
When everyone in the village sat down in the village committee office.
Looking at the only group of women in the room, everyone fell silent.
But what can be said?
An Jianping's family contracted so many mulberry-fish ponds and orchards in the village, but it was all handled by his second daughter.
Now that she's representing her family at the meeting, it doesn't seem so unacceptable anymore.
