Chapter 14: I Became a Patriarch
"The village chief. You sit. I have something to discuss with you. Wang Feng said to Wang Fenghe.
"The old man is old! The old man knows what Engong thinks. β
"Village Chief, I'm actuallyβ" Wang Feng was about to explain.
Wang Feng and the pusher interrupted Wang Feng, who was stammering. "The old man said that the old man is already old, and it is no longer possible to lead the people to prosperity. Now that you are willing to lead us, what reason do I have to refuse? You can do it with confidence! No matter what, my people and I will support you."
Wang Feng sometimes really admires these ancients, and before he said it, this old man knew what he thought, but it was good that he was embarrassed to speak.
Wang Feng bowed twice to Wang Fenghe!" Old village chief, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations and lead them to prosperity. β
Wang Fenghe looked at the young man and smiled slightly.
"Revenge, revenge, revenge!" The blood of the displaced people has been deeply awakened by Wang Feng. Now every homeless person is bursting with blood and shouting slogans of revenge.
"Be quiet, be quiet. I have something to say. Wang Feng and the crutches crackled on the stone.
Not to mention that although Wang Fenghe's voice was not loud, the effect was quite good, and the crowd who was about to shout and kill just now suddenly quieted down and looked at the old man quietly.
Seeing that everyone was giving themselves face, Wang Fenghe felt a sense of accomplishment. Hum... Wang Fenghe cleared his throat and began to say: "All the descendants of the Wang family know that our Wangjiazhuang has an unwritten rule since ancient times, and each patriarch is not allowed to take on the role unless he is old and prestigious. But today, I, Wang Fenghe, want to abolish this unwritten rule as the current patriarch. β
"What, is this going to work?" Wang Fenghe's words caused a wave of criticism in the crowd like a heavy bomb.
"Patriarch, this can't be done, the rules of the ancestors can't be abolished. "People talked about it.
"Be quiet, be quiet. Wang Fenghe had expected this situation for a long time. "You all listen to me. β
"I know that over the years we've gotten used to this pattern, to the point where we get scared when we think about change. We always think that the virtuous and respectable will always have experience and one day lead us to prosperity. But let's see, how many years have we been in Wangjiazhuang! How many patriarchs have passed, but what about our lives? Has it changed for the better? Have it changed for the better? Tell me for yourself. Let's talk about it. β
Listening to the patriarch's words, all the people were reflecting, although they were not willing, but they had to admit that their lives had not only gotten better and better as imagined over the years, but on the contrary, they had become worse and worse.
Looking at so many people gossiping below, Wang Feng knew that the village chief's words had worked, Wang Feng didn't see that this old guy's ability to fool people was quite high, it seems that people are really unseemly!
Wang Fenghe is very satisfied with the current results, and in order to continue to expand people's dissatisfaction with the current system, Wang Fenghe continues to reminisce with them.
"Think about it, since the date of your birth, which one has not been reflected in the womb of the German king's house slave. We face the loess with our backs to the sky. After working hard in the fields all our lives, but as a result, most of the fruits of our labor are not ours, are you satisfied? Especially that Zhu Cifeng, our Wangjiazhuang has been bullied less by him? Can we endure such bullying, do you think we can?"
"No, no. The homeless people below were excited and shouted loudly.
"Yes, we can't stand this kind of life, but what should we do? We have to change this life, and I can't take you to this life when I'm too old. But I have found for you a person who can lead you on this path, and he is Wang Feng. β
People looked at Wang Feng along Wang Fenghe, and Wang Feng followed everyone's gaze and slowly said, "We want to change, we want to be strong." β
"Oooh! The crowd cheered one after another, and the original suspicions disappeared in an instant. No one thought that the first sentence of the new village chief would be this, how domineering, what Wangjiazhuang has long needed is such a hard character, and Wangjiazhuang needs to change. Only such a figure can lead Wangjiazhuang to prosperity.
"Patriarch, patriarch, patriarch!"
"Clansmen. Wang Feng waved his hand to signal quietness.
Seeing the patriarch's gesture, the displaced people began to become quiet.
"Patriarch, when are we going to take revenge?" suddenly a homeless man shouted below.
"Yes, when will the patriarch lead us to revenge?" shouted the clansmen below.
"Tribesmen, we want revenge, but now is not the time for us to take revenge. β
"What? not revenge? how can you not take revenge?" the crowd began to become uneasy.
"What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about, I'm not dead yet! Wang Fenghe on the side knocked on the crutches loudly.
Seeing that Wang Feng and the former patriarch were angry, everyone began to become quiet. "It seems that my prestige is still not enough, and it still needs to be accumulated. Seeing Wang Feng and such a high popularity, Wang Feng silently calculated in his heart.
"Let's listen to what the patriarch has to say, don't make any noise. Wang Liu on the side comforted everyone.
Under the comfort of Wang Liu and Wang Fenghe, everyone's feelings were finally settled.
Wang Feng understood how deep the hatred between these people and the Dewang Mansion was. "Clansmen, now we can't deal with Zhu Cifeng, now we are just hitting stones with eggs, but we can't let them go lightly, we will one day seek revenge on them, but now what we need is to recuperate, we need to find a place to live. Do you want your children, your wife and children to be humiliated after you die? Do you want that?" Wang Feng shouted loudly.
"Do you think that we men can let our women be bullied like this? Now what you need is to come with me, and one day I will bring you back with honor! β
"Now I'm going to take you to a place where you don't accept bullying, are you willing to go with me?" Wang Feng asked, looking at the people below.
The people below "this γγγγγγ" are hesitating, after all, no one wants to leave their hometown, leaving their homeland is the last thing the people want to do, but they can't live here. But no one wants to be the leader.
"Don't go, I'll go. Wang Fenghe, who was on the side, first responded with his crutches.
"Let's go too. The six brothers and sisters also raised their hands.
Then many people raised their hands along with the crowd, and the overall situation of the relocation of the family was decided.
