The village chief walked to the middle of the crowd with several patriarchs behind him, and said to the patriarch of the Zhang family and the patriarch of the Qin family in front of everyone: "This matter is not just an internal matter in the family.

Now it is related to the reputation of our entire Peach Blossom Village, there are still so many unmarried young people in our village, if this matter spreads, these children will all be ruined, and there is still that village waiting to see our Peach Blossom Village!

Back then, we fled the famine together, this was originally a lonely village, it was our hoe and hoe to dig out the field, so that it has the current appearance, the village can have today's achievements Everyone is a partner to create, we can't because of these two people to return to our village over the years of hard work reputation!

Now is the important moment of the New Year, if we have any trouble at this time, our village's face will be lost, and the subsidies issued from above will be wasted! ”

Turning around and persuading the elders of the two families, he said: "It's not that I don't want to let this matter be private, now that the matter of these two rabbit cubs has been seen by so many people, it can't be controlled at all, and the village is gossiping, so it won't be spread to the neighboring village tomorrow morning, and now we must make a reasonable ending to deal with it so that the people of other villages are convinced!." ”

The two elders who wanted to speak for their children softened, but finally stopped what they wanted to say.

Uncle Zhang stepped forward and saluted the patriarch of the Zhang family, with a solemn expression, as if he was more than ten years old for a while, "Elder, our Zhang family has done a lot of things for our clan, this matter, there is indeed something wrong with a little girl, but Qiu Ju is a female baby, it is the daughter of my family who is forced by Qinchuan#, patriarch, you must give our Zhang family a justice!" ”

Uncle Zhang can be regarded as a talkative person in the Zhang family, mainly because Uncle Zhang's family has a lot of money, and most of the expenses in the family come from the Zhang family, and the Zhang family is rich, otherwise Zhang Qiuju, an old girl who has to pay a single woman's fee every year, can stay so big in the countryside.

It's good if ordinary people don't sell their daughters for money, let alone spend money on their daughters.

It's all girls who just found someone to marry, and even married someone before they got married, like Su Xiaoxiao is normal in the countryside, and Zhang Qiuju is the mother of two babies.

Uncle Zhang's family has a very high status in the Zhang family, and even the elders of the Zhang family have to give Uncle Zhang a face.

The elder of the Zhang family was also frowning at this time, thinking about the seriousness of this matter.

The elder of the Zhang family finally sighed, turned around, and just wanted to speak to the village chief, but the village chief raised his hand to stop him.

"Zhang's family, you listen to me first, and you will think about it when I finish talking about it."

"Big guy, this year, the imperial court issued a conscription order, and it is necessary to levy young men from our town to the city to repair the Great Wall, and now the village is also within the scope of the levy, and those who repair the city wall will be subsidized with twenty wen per month."

Before the village chief's words fell, the villagers began to cry and argue, the women were soft-footed to support their men, and the young and middle-aged people turned pale one by one.

Even if the imperial court issued allowances and subsidies this year, but they took a little silver tael, which was not enough to feed a child, and the whole family relied on men to work in the fields and go up the mountain to chop firewood to make money to eat.

Their Peach Blossom Village has just developed recently, and every household has some money in reserve, so it is good to say that if they tighten their belts, they can survive a winter, and those who cannot make ends meet make the already difficult family even worse.

The women began to question the village chief all day long.

"Why is it our Peach Blossom Village, didn't our village just finish collecting it a few years ago?"

"How long are you going to be there?"

"Our man's legs and feet are not good, so I can't go!"

"There is only a big man in our family, if he goes, how will our mother and daughter live!"

"We have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child in our family, and the village chief, I really can't leave it."

"The village chief, my father is the only one in our family, and I can't go when I'm old!"

A piece of grief and grievances that can't be gone for various reasons.

Some people really can't go, and some people don't want to make excuses, so let's ask which family is willing to go!

Su Xiaoxiao was also very shocked when she heard this, she didn't know if Qin Mo was going or not, and she was a little worried, "Xianggong, are you going too?" ”

As soon as he raised his head, he just filled Qin Mo's deep eyes, "Xiucai has the privilege of not going." ”

The Great Qi Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on military force is really not a false name.

Looking at the panicked and panicked expressions of those people in the village, he silently put a stick of incense on Qin Chuan in his heart.

If there is no conscription, the patriarch of the Zhang family will come forward to say it, maybe he can still fool the past, now it is in the critical period of expropriation in the village, and every village does not want the young men in the village to cultivate the city wall of Laoshizi, as soon as the young man leaves, the village will definitely not develop, and it will definitely make this year not good.

If something goes wrong now and causes the people's anger, the people from the border villages will talk about this matter and wear it to the town, saying that the village rules of Taohua Village are not strict, and when the time comes, a county will make an adult unhappy, and then they will not add all the places from other villages to Taohua Village.

Some people with fast brains quickly associate these two things together.

"No, these two people must be severely punished, otherwise there will be more people in our village!"

As soon as these words came out, a group of people seemed to explode, and everyone slowly came back to their senses, and they were all complaining about these two people making this kind of thing at this juncture.

Conscription is the last thing every family wants to see, those people in the village who have some money and can talk to them, fortunately, when the time comes, talk to the village chief about giving gifts, maybe they don't have to go, now if the matter of Qin Chuan and Zhang Qiuju is exposed, won't every family have to be out, and it will be useless for them to find the village chief at that time!

Once it threatens people's own interests, then the development of the matter is much more serious.

The patriarch of the Zhang family also turned around and didn't look at Uncle Zhang.

This matter involves expropriation, and if something happens at this juncture, he will not be able to save it, and maybe he will have to drag his crutches to repair the city wall! I don't know how I will die when the time comes.

The village chief made a mess of porridge, "Everyone be quiet, be quiet!" ”

"There is still time to prepare for this matter, and we still have to discuss which families will come from, and now we have to deal with this matter first!"

"Okay, Patriarch Zhang, I'm done, do you have anything to say?"

Just now, I was thinking about helping the daughter of the Zhang family to say something, but now if he helps others speak, then the reputation will be ruined, and there will be more people who will be levied, and their family will be a lone seedling, sacrificing himself for others? He can't do it!

The patriarch of the Zhang family smiled awkwardly, and was stunned not to look at the look that Uncle Zhang gave him, "Village chief, this matter is still up to you!" ”

The village chief looked at the patriarch of the Qin family again, the patriarch of the Qin family was also thinking about the weight of this matter, this Qin Chuan is not familiar with their family, he doesn't learn well, he doesn't make any achievements, anyway, now there is such an excellent child as Qin Qing in the family, Qin Chuan will give it up if he gives it up.

The eldest patriarch of the Qin family nodded and agreed, "I have the same opinion as the Zhang family, and we all obey the arrangement of the village chief. ”

The eyes swept over the patriarchs of several families, and everyone didn't want to wade into this troubled water, if this matter was dealt with, forget it, if they leaked a little rumor, their village would be over.

And the hero of this matter is not a child in their family, even if they should give it up, they can't care about it.

The village chief nodded with satisfaction, and Uncle Zhang hurriedly stepped forward, "Village chief, we can be regarded as neighbors, Qiu Ju also grew up under your watch, you know what kind of temper the child has, even if he borrows ten guts, he will not do such a thing!" This time it was Qin Chuan's kid who bullied my daughter, and the village chief must give my daughter justice! ”

Wang Chunhua was not happy when she heard this, she shook off Daddy Qin on the side, and glanced at Daddy Qin with contempt, "Look at your cowardice!" The tone was full of disdain!

At the moment, standing with the village chief, even if he was spilled and rolled, "Village chief, we are people from the same clan, and we all have the blood of the Qin family, can you bear to punish you as a nephew!" Besides, didn't Lao Qin often invite you to drink together when he was young, you can't forget the love between the two of you! ”

Father Qin stomped his feet in shame and turned around!

He went to invite people to drink, it was clear that the village chief's family saw that his family was poor, and then in the name of drinking, he helped him, and he only said that he drank alcohol when he heard it well, and now his mother-in-law told him about it if he didn't know what had happened, and the village chief sneered!

There is nothing wrong with him and Daddy Qin being good playmates when they were children, but those things about Wang Chunhua and Qin Chuan in the past few years are not what he helped deal with! The love of the early years has long been consumed, and now when it comes to drinking in her childhood, is it really as nice as she said! What's going on, Daddy Qin knows!

The village chief was unmoved, "This is the village's business, not my business alone, the village belongs to everyone, so the big guys will discuss this matter together and talk about how to deal with it!" ”

The people around him have nothing to do with these two people, and they are all thinking about their own men, and now there is such a scandal in the village, if it spreads to the town, and the number of people in their village is increased at that time, then the probability of them sending their men out will increase!

That's not going to work.

A warrior in the crowd took the initiative to speak, "They have violated the village rules, and they must be dealt with seriously according to the village rules!" ”

"Yes, we are in an extraordinary period now, if we deal with it casually, if it spreads outside, our village will have to search for people to give guidance, not to mention the youth in the village, even if we are individuals, we will be looked down upon! Our Peach Blossom Village can't hold its head up in the town! ”

"Yes!"

.................

Everyone unanimously agreed to deal with it according to the village rules, Zhang Qiuju lay on the ground, hated it very much, and the things that happened flashed in his mind and hormones!
