Chapter 110: Electing a Steward
Because the lessons learned from the past are so tragic, everyone takes this election very seriously, because it is truly related to everyone's future.
The more you truly care about something from the bottom of your heart, the harder it will be for some people to play tricks on you.
The ambitions of the Lu Daming brothers were ignited by Boss Gu and burned fiercely. Even if they were frustrated, how could they be extinguished in a short time?
Instead, there is an addictive feeling of becoming more courageous with every setback.
At first, the two brothers were planning to bribe a few people so that everyone would choose them. However, after sending their wives and children out to look around and inquire around, they had to give up the idea.
Difficult, almost hopeless.
I had to give up.
This is due to their ignorance. If bribing people to muddy the waters was feasible, how could Boss Gu not give them "guidance"?
That evening, every household came out and gathered in a large open space in the middle of the village. It was rare for Yan Village to be so lively. Almost everyone came, and even the children were jumping up and down, laughing and chasing each other and playing all over the place.
Only the Gu family showed up.
Now everyone despises their family members, and no one looks at them well even if they come. It would be better if they don't come because they are an eyesore. Everyone is tactful and no one mentions them.
At the beginning, Second Sister Gu was actually urging Third Brother Gu to participate. Why couldn't he participate? With a few threats and inducements, maybe he would be selected? At that time, even if the Gu family was not as dominant as before, they could still get a share of the pie. Otherwise, they would be bullied to death.
When Gu Laosan heard this, he rolled his eyes secretly and didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Gu Laoer scolded her severely.
If they could fight for it, the Gu family wasn't stupid, so how could they not fight for it? But given the Gu family's current situation, even if they went, they would only be ridiculed and looked down upon, or even deliberately made things difficult for them. There was no chance of any miracles happening.
This idiot, only she can do such a thing as to brazenly run into someone else's vegetable garden to pick vegetables. To say something she shouldn't have said, she deserves to be beaten.
The entire selection process went very smoothly.
Because the vast majority of people are selfless and are serious about putting morality first. And as long as you are not blind and have no selfish motives, who among so many people in the village is reliable and trustworthy?
After an intense and lively, fierce and friendly discussion and selection, five people were finally elected: Zhao Xiang, Lin Mo, Lin Shu, Qi Guangrui and Luo Ershu. Among them, Lin Mo was the leader and was responsible for contacting Yu Gongcao.
From then on, all matters big and small in Yan Village were decided by the five of them. For extremely important matters, all the villagers had to be summoned to discuss them together.
The vast majority of villagers were very satisfied with the result and everyone applauded enthusiastically.
At least this can effectively prevent one family from dominating the market and prevent the emergence of another Gu family.
The Lu Daming brothers also smiled and applauded, but their smiles seemed a bit forced and peaceful.
No one cares how they react when they get home.
Qi Shi had never expected that her husband's younger brother would also be chosen, and she was immediately furious. Although she was disdainful of this kind of selection in her heart, in such a small and poor village, what was the big deal even if he was the leader?
But her husband is a hopeless case, while his younger brother is elected by everyone, which makes her feel very upset and annoyed, as if she has been slapped in the face.
Qi was annoyed, and Luo Shuyu was ignorant, which made her upset. As a result, she beat and scolded him again. Luo Shuyu was so angry that she ran out crying again, and the house was in chaos.
Uncle Luo was elected as one of the leaders of the village. Although he doesn't have much power, he is trusted by the villagers, which is a very happy thing.
Uncle Luo's family was quite happy, but they didn't expect that there would be ghosts crying and wolves howling in the house of their eldest brother next door. They immediately became upset and most of their happiness disappeared.
I had originally planned to make a nice meal tomorrow and invite my eldest brother and his family over for a meal as a celebration, and also for brothers to get together. I could also give them some advice and ask them to calm down and stop fighting and making trouble. Why bother?
My heart has turned cold now.
For someone like my sister-in-law, forget it and don't invite her, otherwise I'll have to listen to her sarcasm again.
The family knew his eldest sister-in-law's character very well. In the past, when Luo Shuyan was beaten and scolded, they couldn't help but try to persuade her, but the more they tried to persuade her, the more fiercely Qi scolded and beat her, and they stopped talking.
The results of today's election were basically within Zhao Liya's expectations. Dad, Brother Lin, Qi Guangrui who had a good relationship with Brother Lin, the steady and honest Uncle Lin who actually loved Luo Shuyan very much, and Second Uncle Luo who had secretly given her food in the past, were basically all considered her own people.
In this way, they don't have to worry about the Gu family, the Lu family, or anyone else deliberately causing trouble for them in Yan Village.
This saves a lot of trouble, and they can make money relatively safely.
It's a great thing, and it's worth celebrating.
However, Hu Ling and his men were going out hunting the next day and would not be back for at least three or four days, so they had to wait until they came back before celebrating.
Early the next morning, Hu Ling, Lin Mo, Yu Xiaofang, and Zhou Hansheng brought a few close followers and forty villagers into the mountains to hunt.
Zhao Liya didn't go.
Zhou Hansheng said that he would go in her place - it just so happened that he wanted to loosen up his muscles, so he could have the best of both worlds.
Hu Ling, Lin Mo and others also said that this was better.
The despised Zhao Liya had no choice but to stay at home and wait for them to win.
Brother Zhou said he wanted to loosen up his muscles, but was there a hint of deliberateness in that? Zhao Liya was secretly delighted. The mutual help between friends was very touching!
In the past few days, Zhao Liya and Qu Yutao went to Zaihu Village and Bajiao Village twice.
The workshop and courtyard of Bajiao Village had been built, and the carpenters were already installing things and making various utensils inside! It would be completed in a few days.
The sugarcane is growing well, the leaves at the bottom have been peeled off cleanly, and the dark purple sugarcane stalks are neat and clean. At a glance, the visual effect is maximized.
Looks good, tastes good, and makes money.
Zhao Liya thought that once Hu Ling and the others came back, they could start making sugar.
While Brother Zhou is still here, we should invite him to taste the first batch of candy.
If the quality of the juice is good, I would like to give him some.
Luo Shuyan accompanied Widow Qu and Aunt Li Shiyi to the fields to take care of the two acres of vegetables. The two acres of vegetables were growing well and were green and lush. It would not be long before they could be picked.
At first glance, many fields are covered with such neat green, which looks particularly pleasing to the eye. Many villagers are busy working in the fields, thinking about the upcoming harvest, and everyone is in a very happy mood.
Zhou Hansheng, Hu Ling and their team returned in four days.
