Zhu Yong’s bold words and heroic deeds shocked the whole village. They all looked at Zhu Yong on the stage. Who gave him such courage?
Those who had ulterior motives began to ponder again, their eyes fixed on Jiang Kexin who was standing beside Zhu Yong.
An Yugui looked at Zhu Yong's reckless behavior with his eyes twitching, but he saw one thing clearly: in order to pave a way for Jiang Kexin, he volunteered to swear an oath, which was already a way to win Jiang Kexin's favor.
If he fell behind, then his family would definitely be surpassed by Zhu Yong in the future. How could this be possible? The next second, he also stood up and said solemnly, "My family is the same."
Both of them expressed their opinions. Ding Fu looked at where his children were standing. They were wearing patched clothes and standing with their arms folded. He then looked at the Jiang family, some of them were well-dressed and some of them were eating greasy food. He immediately followed suit and said, "My family is the same."
Cao Ke took a step faster than Ding Fu, but spoke a little later than him. However, he still said those words after a moment's hesitation: "My family is the same."
Jiang Wuli was very touched by the behavior of these four older brothers, but then he thought, which family doesn't want their children to live a good life?
They have now grabbed a life-saving straw. If they still hesitate, this straw will be far away from them. Therefore, these four brothers think clearly and see things thoroughly.
No matter how evil the Jiang family is, they can't do anything bad to them. This is where the Jiang family was born and raised, their roots and ancestral graves are there, and they don't want their graves to be dug up, so they naturally lead everyone forward with sincerity.
But risks also exist. If you cannot accept risks and only want benefits, there will be no such good things in the world.
Zhao Liancun stared at Ke Xin and talked for a long time, but she didn't look at him. He knew that the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger, but he felt distressed when he saw her standing awkwardly on the stage.
"My Zhao family agrees that Jiang Kexin should be the village chief, and we are willing to work with her. If you have any complaints, you will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
Among the villagers, the first one to swear an oath was the only son of the Zhao family. He swore such a vicious oath. Wasn’t he afraid of having no descendants?
Zhang Ju was too late to stop her grandson from shouting. Her head was buzzing. If she hadn't been surrounded by people, she would have probably fallen to the ground. But the child had already finished shouting. If she said anything else, it was obvious that she was not sincere. She muttered quietly, "Retribution will come to me. Don't hurt my grandson."
Zhao Liancun looked at his grandmother's cautious expression, and a hint of warmth appeared on his cold face. He smiled and said, "Grandma, I am your grandson. Even if it is retribution on you, I will die with you."
Zhang Ju gaped and looked at her grandson foolishly. After a moment, tears welled up in her eyes and her heart ached.
"Grandma, there's nothing in our family that can be cheated of. Besides, I'll work with Jiuer, and you can continue raising chickens and collecting eggs at home. It won't affect our lives, right?"
This sentence reminded Zhang Ju. She thought about it and wiped away her tears. She hummed with a nasal voice: "Just go ahead and do it. Grandma will support you at home."
Some villagers agreed, and soon others followed suit. However, they only agreed to let Jiang Kexin be the village chief, and did not swear to cut off their lineage or grandchildren. Naturally, they did not dare to say such harsh words, and they all left a way out for themselves.
Jiang Wuli asked the villagers again: "Is there anyone who still objects to Jiang Kexin becoming the village chief? If so, please raise your arms."
The villagers in the audience looked at each other, and even the trustworthy ones turned their heads to look behind them. In the huge venue, not a single hand was raised. Jiang Wuli looked at the four old men and said, "Then I will make the announcement."
Zhu Yong urged anxiously, "Hurry up and announce it! Stop dithering! I've never seen you act like this before when I was village chief."
"Grandpa, I have something to say. After I finish speaking, if the whole village is still willing for me to take the position, it won't be too late to announce it later."
At the moment when Jiang Wuli made the announcement, Jiang Kexin stood up and said something. If the villagers had not objected, she would not have said it. But now that the villagers are willing to let her be the one, she must say the ugly words up front to avoid any bad things in the future.
Jiang Wuli gave up his position: "Come on, kid, speak boldly, grandpa will support you."
With her family's support, even if she makes trouble, her family will help her deal with it. It feels so good.
Jiang Kexin looked at the people in the audience for a long time. There were men, women, young and old. Some of them wore clothes that were too short, some were patched, and some were wearing clothes that were washed white. But the only ones who seemed to be wearing decent clothes were from their Jiang family.
After looking at the clothes, they looked at the faces. Everyone's eyes were full of anticipation. Their eyes were full of vicissitudes of life, and they looked at themselves on the stage with bitterness. At this moment, Ke Xin felt that everyone was really suffering and too pitiful.
"First of all, I want to promise that I won't cheat you."
"Secondly, I want to tell you that following me may not necessarily make you a fortune, but... I can ensure that everyone has enough food and clothing."
Ke Xin stopped looking at the pitiful old people and hardened her heart. She continued, "I won't be like the landlords in other villages who take all the land in our village into their own name and then give you a few hundred copper coins every month. If you want to do that, then you can leave on your own."
After Jiang Kexin finished speaking, she paused, but the whole village listened attentively, and no one left. Then she continued:
"I don't have any other skills, but I'm very confident in farming. We are all farmers. Without land, we have no roots. So the first thing you do when you follow me is farming. I want the grain or other things you grow to be twice or even three times the yield per mu of other villages. Only after we solve the problem of food and clothing, we are qualified to talk about making money."
