For Jiang Weiwei, writing her name into the genealogy is just a trivial matter. Even if there is no her name in the genealogy, she will not underestimate herself.
However, for women in this era, it is extremely important to write their names into the genealogy. It is related to the status of women in the family and whether they can have the courage to speak straight when facing the men in the family.
To put it further, the genealogy can even let women have the right to inherit property in the future. They don't need to rely on their father, husband and son anymore. They can own several of their own property independently.
Now, Jiang Weiwei helped them win this opportunity, which is too precious for them!
Immediately, a brave woman stood up and walked to the left hand of the patriarch with her head held high.
With the first, naturally there will be the second and third
The women made their positions clear one after another.
Of course, not all women are willing to publicly support the change of clan rules. A few women are afraid of offending their father, brother and son. They can only go slowly to the right hand of the patriarch against their inner will.
Jiang Weiwei could only sigh in his heart when he saw this scene.
They can't stand up by themselves. No matter how others help them, it won't help.
The time for a incense stick will soon come.
At this time, most people have found the position to stand, and only a few people still don't know how to decide. Finally, they simply cross their hearts and stop next to each other.
Jiang Fengnian clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention.
"The time has come. The voting is over. Don't talk and stand still. I want to count the number."
Looking around, all the people standing on the left are women, and there is only one man, Jiang Shuan.
He is more than one meter eight tall, standing among a group of women, it is particularly obvious.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Jiang Shuan tutted: "what are you looking at? Look, dig out your eyes! "
Everyone was immediately frightened to take back their eyes and didn't dare to see more.
Standing on the right are almost all men, mixed with a small number of women.
Even without counting, you can know that there are many more people on the right.
The men's faces were filled with triumphant smiles when their own side won.
The women were dejected one by one.
Some of them looked at Jiang Weiwei and hoped that she could stand up and say a word.
But Jiang Wei didn't make a sound.
What she can do is to start and give everyone a choice. As for the final result, she can't control it.
Jiang Shuan came out of the women and scolded angrily: "I don't know how to grasp such a good opportunity. I deserve to be trampled under my feet all my life!"
His voice is not big, but it is not small. Many people around heard it. The men who were laughing couldn't laugh. The women were a little angry, and some buried their heads lower.
Jiang Fengnian cleared his throat and attracted everyone's attention.
"As you can see, the majority of people who oppose the change of clan rules, so let's stop the change of clan rules. Next, let's begin to pay homage to our ancestors."
Because of Jiang Shuan, the men dare not laugh openly, and the women feel ashamed and dare not say more. The scene is surprisingly quiet.
The chicken, duck and fish were placed on the incense table and lit candles. Jiang Weiwei took the thread incense from the patriarch and knelt down and kowtowed to his ancestors.
The old Jiang Jincai of the clan stood by and sang.
His voice was so high that the last word of every sentence would drag on, with a very strange melody.
Jiang Weiwei didn't listen carefully. Anyway, it probably meant to boast Jiang Weiwei from head to foot.
At this time, only men can enter the ancestral hall. They kneel behind and listen to the old folk songs quietly, while women kneel outside the ancestral hall. Everyone keeps quiet and can't make a sound.
The scene was solemn and solemn.
After Jiang Jincai finished his speech, Jiang Weiwei stood up and inserted the thread incense into the censer.
Looking up, there were more than 30 memorial tablets in front of them, all of which were the ancestors of the Jiang family.
Jiang Fengnian brought the genealogy and added Jiang Weiwei's name in front of the whole family.
Because she had broken off her marriage with the jianglinhai family, her name was not written in the jianglinhai family, but specially set up another family for her.
Jiang Weiwei was very satisfied with this.
She doesn't want to have anything to do with the sacrifices of the jianglinhai family.
When the genealogy came to an end, the people scattered as birds and animals.
Jiang Weiwei specifically called the village head.
"Uncle, stay!"
Jiang Fengnian looked at her and said, "what can I do for you?"
"I don't deserve the order. I'm going to entertain the villagers at home this noon. I need some people to help burn the fire and cook. I don't know if my uncle has the right people to recommend?"
Jiang Fengnian suddenly said, "it's this thing. Don't worry. I'll go back and talk to my daughter-in-law. She's very familiar with this."
Jiang Wei smiled and thanked him.
She and Jiang Shuan left the ancestral hall. On the way back, she asked curiously.
"Dad, why did you stand on the woman's side today?"
If her father is a feminist, she doesn't believe it at all. From her father's attitude towards women, like most men in this era, he has very serious male chauvinism.
Jiang Shuan didn't care much about this, and his tone was indifferent: "you proposed to add a woman's name to the genealogy. You are my daughter. Your proposal, as a father, naturally needs unconditional support!"
As for whether there is a woman's name in the genealogy, he doesn't care at all.
Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door. Other people's things have nothing to do with him!
Jiang Wei leaned over and took his arm: "Dad is very kind to me ~"
Jiang Shuan raised his chest and said proudly, "just know!"
As soon as they returned to the health hall with their front feet, Zhou's back feet came.
Zhou also brought eight women, three of whom were her own daughter-in-law, two were her sister-in-law, and the remaining three were village women who had a good relationship with her.
Zhou's temperament was refreshing. He said, "Lord county leader, I heard that your family is going to hold a banquet and needs help to cook. We can't do anything else. We're good at cooking. If you trust us, let's do this job!"
Jiang Weiwei first took a look at the women she brought. The older ones are in their 40s, and the younger ones are only in their early twenties. They look clean, their hair is neatly combed, and there is no dirt in their fingernails. They should be diligent and fast people.
"The road construction in the village was a meal you helped cook. Everyone praised you for your good cooking. Please give you our banquet today."
