Hua Village has always inherited the tradition of its elders. Whenever there is something in the village that involves the interests of most people in the village, a village meeting will be held and everyone will discuss and decide together.

The conference is often held in the evening after the busy farming season.

Households held small benches, held coils, and some even brought farm tools. Everyone squeezed into the meeting courtyard at the same time, and for a while there was a mess of household chores, laughter, and chaos.

Often at this time, propagandist Xiao Li would pick up the loudspeaker and maintain order. When everyone became quieter, the village chief would come back to the podium and announce the start of the meeting.

Today is no exception. The village chief cleared his throat first and said in a steady voice: "Fellow fellow villagers and elders, I have gathered you all together today because we have a big happy event to tell you!"

The famous matchmaker Wang in the village was the most talkative. She immediately shouted in her unique little high-pitched voice, "What a great event, the village chief is getting married!"

This time, there was a roar of laughter below.

"Quiet, everyone, listen to the village chief!" Propaganda officer Xiao Li had to work hard to maintain order.

The village chief frowned slightly, and then continued: "That's it, Mr. Zheng from the neighboring village Shengcun Village is planning to invest in our village and contract to plant fruit trees on the back hillside. When the time comes, he will hire folks from our village.

Helping him manage it will pay a lot of money. This is not a big happy event. When the time comes, we will all make a fortune together..."

"Well, I don't think it's a happy event. The second son of the Zheng family has hired a son-in-law in our village and taken care of people with money. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Once he has the trust of the folks in our village, he will never make a loss.

Smart business people, shouldn’t they propose to open up mountains and build tourist attractions?” Third Grandpa yelled very seriously!

At this moment, the third grandfather walked over with a cane and a very serious expression.

The village chief is indeed very skilled. Faced with Third Grandpa’s sharp questioning, he still remained calm and said, “Oh, Third Grandpa, why did you come here? Why don’t you please take a seat!”

"Hmph, you wish I never came!" Third Grandpa stood at the stage with cold hands, showing no intention of going on stage.

"Hey, look at what you said, Third Grandpa, you are a benchmark for our beautiful countryside! I have to accept your fairness in everything, right? But then again, the old Zheng family is also a rare place.

My passion, the purpose of investment is also to drive Huachang Village to make a fortune together!"

"Hmph, that sounds nice! It's not a bad thing to make a fortune together, but look at it, look at it..."

Third Grandpa raised his walking stick and pointed at the distant mountains. Everyone also looked over, "This mountain, this water, this is the only piece of pure land left by our ancestors for us. We must not let it happen because of it."

A little money will destroy this natural and pure environment, otherwise, sooner or later, our descendants will scold us!"

Third Grandpa's stern and sincere words immediately won the support of some villagers. However, most people today cannot refuse the temptation of money, and many villagers are inclined to side with the village chief.

For a while, there was endless debate, and everyone was quarreling until their faces turned red.

"Folks and elders, since everyone's opinions are so inconsistent, we can only use the old method of voting in the whole village!" the village chief announced loudly.

This method was implemented immediately without any further controversy. On the rostrum, there was a tall long table with two large transparent fish tanks on it, and two food bags were placed in front of them in parallel, with mung beans in them.

, and red beans.

"Okay, fellow villagers, those who support the village chief put mung beans, those who support Third Grandpa put red beans, start now!"

Following the announcement from publicist Xiao Li, the voting ceremony began immediately. At the same time, there were staff counting the beans in the two fish tanks and counting them loudly.

The villagers lined up neatly, went to the stage in an orderly manner, and cast their bean votes.

When the last villager finished his vote, the publicist shouted: "One hundred and eighty-nine mung beans, and one hundred and eighty-nine red beans, yes."

This time, I was in a dilemma. I didn’t expect that this election would actually be a tie.

"Well, Third Grandpa, it is what the people want. Since so many villagers have relaxed their minds, you should stop stopping everyone from getting rich!" said the village chief.

"Humph, village chief, there are some things I didn't want to say clearly. You are working so hard to show courtesy to the old Zheng family. Don't you just want to give your son more leverage so that he can marry back the daughter of the Zheng family!" The third grandfather said coldly.

explain.

"Humph, I, Li Gensheng, am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. I do it all for the sake of Huaxiang and the future of my people!" Alas, when the words "conscience of heaven and earth" came out of the village chief's mouth, it probably didn't taste right. The village chief paused.

After a moment, he continued, "Since Third Grandpa

If you are still insisting, then I have to come up with the final rules of the village. According to the rules passed down by the older generation, when there is a dispute over the village's resolution, the village chief can exercise the final right of adjudication. I announce that the Zheng family will contract the hillside.

The matter is now officially settled..."
