Chapter 66: A Cat and a Dog
"Then you mean ......"
The village chief nodded, "That's right, our Qin family is now relying on Qin Xiucai, and you still want to get Qin Mo out of the family tree now?" ”
"This ........"
Everyone made a mistake all of a sudden, wasn't the situation just now clearly about driving people out, and now they have to beg others with a cheeky face, which is really a bit unbearable.
And twenty young people are not difficult to find, as long as they don't come out of their own clan, they can still be found scattered, and besides, isn't there a village chief in their clan, as long as Qin Mo is in the clan for a day, then the other juniors have no way out, and now it is just time to fight for the opportunity for their own children, and the lintel of glory is glorious, of course, I don't want to let it go.
An old man who was half a hundred years old and had wrinkles on his face stepped forward, "Village chief, it's not that these twenty young people can't come out, you are the village chief, and you are also a member of our Qin family, as long as you don't come from our clan, aren't these twenty young people still a matter of your words?" ”
"And it's hard to say whether this Qin Mo is a child of our Qin family, don't you forget....... isn't it inappropriate for him to be the leader of this clan all the time?"
"That's it, the patriarch is reasonable, Qin Youcai, the patriarch has watched you grow up, even if you are now the village chief, you can't just think about yourself, you know that you want to win over Qin Mo, just put it in normal times, now all the good connections and resources in the village are handed over to Qin Mo, it is indeed unfair to other children in our clan!"
"You can't turn your elbows out, just thinking about climbing up, don't grab us poor relatives, think we watched you grow up, when you ran for this village head, we still voted for you."
They are all the people who talk in the village, and they are also the elders of the clan, and then take out the events of the year to speak, and the angry village chief just wants to scold people.
The village chief is not easy to mess with, after all, after being the village chief for so many years, there should still be a shelf, his eyes swept over the group of short-sighted old men next to him, just for the old man in front of him, and his tone was unceremoniously, "If you question the position of my village chief, you can let the villagers vote again now, and let's hold another village meeting to take a look!" ”
The sound is loud and loud.
Seeing that they had completely touched the village chief's bottom line, everyone obediently closed their mouths, shrunk their hands, their eyes wandered, and they didn't dare to mention it again.
Over the years, they have a village chief in the clan, and they have not received much benefits, and the land allocated by the family is also because of the special care of the village chief to occupy the best position in the village, and even the village fee called by the village every winter has been reduced by more than half for them, if there is no village chief, they will not get any benefits.
The ancestors also coughed twice in embarrassment, and their voices were serious, "It's all old things, what do you want him to do, it is the most suitable person to be the village chief, we are now discussing whether Qin Modao can stay in the clan!" ”
The person just now also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurried down the steps, "Yes, yes, where are we going, if you want Qin Mo to stay in the clan, you will have to pay the clan fee!" ”
"Clan fees? This is not good, after all, we have no precedent for this! ”
"What do you know, haven't all the good resources and good connections in our clan been given to Qin Mo over the years, otherwise he would be able to teach at Master Liu?! It's not that he is a descendant of our Qin family, and now he can still stand in the ancestral hall and worship incense! ”
"That's right! Standing on the reputation of our clan, can he still be taken for nothing? If he wants to say that he still wants to stay in our clan and gain a good reputation, he has to pay one or two pieces of silver every year, and he has to give up his position, otherwise he will not enter the genealogy of our Qin family. ”
"Only a show can people listen to you?" Another slightly younger elder said.
"Don't forget, if he wants to climb up, he must have a good reputation, how can this good reputation come about, he must come out of the clan, this Qin Mo must not be able to do without us." The man said gracefully, his tone was affirmative, as if Qin Mo must be inseparable from them.
"Youcai, don't you say?" The eldest elder stood up and smiled, as if it was a sure thing.
The village chief sneered, ashamed in his heart. "Don't be so impulsive in this matter, we Daqi now attach importance to literati, even Xiucai has a lot of benefits, and Qin Mo will be of great help to the future development of our clan."
The Great Elder was a little hesitant, in fact, there was no scholar in her family, and this matter was also instigated by the Second Elder and the Third Elder, which would also rub her hands and hesitate.
The third elder couldn't bear it, there was a grandson of his family in this generation, this was a good opportunity for his grandson to get ahead, Qin Mo had occupied that position for several years over the years, and every year at this time, his heart was uncomfortable.
"Qin Mo's talent, isn't it because he got the good resources in our clan that he was admitted, there are so many outstanding children in our clan, and it doesn't have to be Qin Mo, without Qin Mo, our village will still have a show, I said talented, you can be a village chief when you are stunned, but you won't be flexible!"
The second elder rolled his eyes, and came over with a smile, "Talented, I think the third elder is right, we have also taken care of Qin Mo a lot in the past few years, isn't that thatched house what we found for him, and now it's time for her to contribute to our village, just let him give up a position,
Besides, it's almost the New Year, let's go out for twenty more young people, and the funds in this clan are not enough, I see that Qin Mo also repaired the house a few days ago, the whole house, and built a soil kang, their family is quite rich now, just look at the clothes he is wearing now, which can be compared to our coarse cloth clothes. It's just a tael of silver, and it's not an easy thing for Qin Mo now. ”
The second elder is the peacemaker among the three elders, and what he says now is much better and more organized than what the third elder said.
The second elder's painting style changed again, and his eyes rolled with a shrewd light, "Besides, isn't this almost the end of the year assessment, talented, you can be regarded as the village chief who has been blocking for ten years this year, this achievement is ......"
The village chief raised his head suddenly, looking at the second elder who was smiling kindly, and his heart straightened.
It is the custom of Nanyang City to evaluate at the end of this year, and the performance of the village chief in each village will be collected every year, and only then can he stay in this position for a long time according to the evaluation of the villagers and the support of the clansmen.
Therefore, even if he is the village head, he still needs the support of the family behind him, and if he really breaks with these elders, it will not be good for his reputation, and the position of the village chief is ......
The third child saw the hesitant appearance of the Great Elder again, and he was angry, "There are more potential young people in our clan, and there is no shortage of Qin Mo!" Let's just say that our family's Qin Qing will be able to come back next year. ”
The Great Elder is a wall-to-wall grass, and at this time, he heard that Qin Qing, the grandson of the Third Elder, could take the test, and immediately gave up the idea just now, after all, Qin Mo and them are distant relatives, and they have a bad relationship.
If there is no ancestor worship activity, it can be regarded as a relationship that cannot be beaten by eight poles, and now he has broken off the relationship with the Qin family, this child is a child with a cold temperament, and I don't know if a box of puppets can remember them, and it is difficult to convince people after all without the bond of blood.
This is the second elder who added a fire to the side, and the eldest elder made a decision in one row with one hand, "Now that the world is in our Qin family, I, as the great elder, want to maintain the equality of hospitals in our village, since Qin Mo has broken off the relationship with our Qin family this time, he really shouldn't continue to stay in our Qin family ancestral hall!" ”
The second elder said with some regret: "We can't be so ruthless, after all, Qin Mo is the child we watched grow up, if he is willing to give up his position and hand over one or two pieces of silver every year, we still can't do too much in terms of affection." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. The second one is absolutely right! ”
The three of you will quickly discuss the follow-up matters, and completely forget the existence of the village chief.
When the three patriarchs made a decision, they didn't give the village chief a chance to speak at all, and the village chief now looked coldly at this group of people talking about how to get benefits from Qin Mo, and only felt that these people were all fools' dreams, since Qin Mo could simply and neatly clean up with his father, would he consider them white-eyed wolf clansmen who had no feelings?
Oh, it's a dream!
He is now a bystander, neither side will provoke, they are willing to provoke and be the wronged leader, since these people are not good and bad, they can't recognize the reality, he will not be the same as this group of people, Qin Mo still wants to have a good relationship, but this time he will be wronged, and I hope that Qin Mo can see the love of these years and not forget him, not forget Peach Blossom Village!
The elders discussed, and immediately returned to the hall to announce the matter, and the second elder even took Qin Mo's hand, and was pulled back by Qin Mo's flash, his eyes were cold.
When the second elder went out, he stopped in mid-air in embarrassment, and then laughed dryly twice, feeling very uncomfortable, but he couldn't show it, so he could only maintain a kind smirk on his face a little uncomfortably,
"Qin Mo, you can be regarded as the one we grew up watching together, we all know that the young man is reckless, who is young and has not made a mistake,
Although you were impulsive in a fit of anger and broke off the relationship with our Qin family, as an elder, we can give you a chance, but the punishment you should have is still not less, and you will not pay a tael of silver to the clan in the future, you are still a good child of our Qin family, a good showman! What do you think? ”
After listening to it, the people on the side discussed in a whisper, it was the first time they had heard that they still had to pay money in the clan, and they didn't pay it themselves, so they were just curious and didn't particularly care.
Liu Fuzi couldn't sit still at that time, he was on crutches, pointed at the Great Elder and shouted: "Boss! What can you do here, all these years of love have been eaten by dogs! Qin Mo is a filial child, he is a child of your Qin family, and it is really unheard of for a child to pay money when he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors! ”
"Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed when you say it!"
The corners of Qin Mo's mouth hooked a touch of arc, his Adam's apple rolled fiercely, slowly looked at the so-called relatives around him, let go of Liu Fuzi's hand, his posture was upright, like a strong pine in the cold north wind, and his temperament was incompatible with the room here.
"There's no need, Qin Mo has already thought about it since the moment he decided to break off the relationship, and I still want to thank you for your kindness, it's just that I am a poor talent, even if it is this two pieces of silver, my wife has earned it hard, and it is not something that can be taken away by a casual cat or dog barking a few times."
Cats and dogs, the faces of the three elders present instantly changed color, as if they were constipated.
After eating the last bite of the roasted sweet potato in his hand, Xiao Chubhuben raised his sleeve and wiped it casually, pulled Qin Laoer's sleeve, and whispered in his ear: "Grandpa, grandpa, what is the cat and dog that Mr. Qin is talking about, is it the big flower in the family, the big flower is fierce, and you will bite when you see someone!" You can't be with them. ”
Daddy Qin touched his head and didn't know how to explain.
The three gods swept over the people with different expressions, some were watching the excitement, some were gloating, and some were blue-faced, and continued: "By the way, elders, before Qin Mo left, he wanted to get back some things that belonged to him, I don't know what the three elders think?" ”
