Five tall bamboo tubes and a wooden bucket, the village chief and clan chief personally counted them.
Before I started counting, the sticks poured out of the bucket piled up into a small mountain.
Does this still need to be counted?
No need at all!
The results were clear and almost overwhelming.
Even the lots that were originally intended for Liu Bai were thrown into the wooden bucket by everyone in the old house without hesitation.
In addition to the lots put in by the women in the village, half of them have been taken up.
Liu Bai withdrew halfway, followed closely by Liu Qi, and the two voluntarily gave up the campaign.
Of the original five candidates, two abstained from voting, and Liu Ji was not present for the remaining three, leaving only Liu Dafu, who was like a thorn in his back, and Liu Yang, who was silent.
Standing to the rules may not necessarily be right.
The villagers who were greatly surprised asked repeatedly to confirm whether it was true.
As for the money box, it has always been kept by the village chief. Now that Qin Yao has become the village chief, she should take care of it.
I kept telling myself in my heart, never speak casually again in the future!
Yin Le felt a gust of hot wind blowing around him. When he raised his eyes again, he saw that the mute bull had already run away with a squeak.
Liu Gong rubbed his eyes after witnessing his mother's little move and couldn't believe what he saw.
“Today is the first day I take over. I don't say nice words, I only say one sentence.”
Everyone was so happy that they didn't know what to do. They could only keep shouting: "New village chief! New village chief! New village chief!"
In the ancestral hall, the village chief smiled with relief.
What Liu Dafu couldn't believe was that the stick that his wife had originally put into the bamboo tube was turned around after Qin Yao's wooden bucket joined.
As soon as these words came out, there was an explosion in the ancestral hall.
However, the young man Liu Yang's mentality was a bit broken, especially when he thought of his answer when Yin Le asked him just now, he now felt a burning pain in his face.
As for the surname, is my husband's surname Liu?
Since that is the case, then if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry a dog, follow the dog, she is naturally also a member of the Liu clan!
Liu Dafu sighed "Alas~", he is really a terrible person.
This reason is so reasonable and reasonable, so what reason does he have to refute her!
Liu Dafu and Liu Yang, who had already seen the results, looked at the tribesmen in front of them with complicated emotions.
Unexpectedly, his mother crossed her arms and said excitedly: "My elbows are not turned out. I just want to see how a woman can become a village chief!"
Whether it is Qin Yao's intelligence, strength, or moral character, if you look at the entire Liujia Village, you can't find anyone higher than her.
Qin Yao withdrew her gaze and said to the crowd: "Everyone elected me as the new village chief today. This shows that everyone still believes in me and believes that I can lead everyone to live a better life than now."
The capable are placed at the top, the mediocre are given way, and the mediocre are subordinated. This is the basic law of how the world operates.
The bright lights of the ancestral hall did not dim until midnight.
Then she deserves the position of village chief!
The four Dalang brothers and sisters looked up at the smiling woman in the ancestral hall and clapped wildly, wishing they could smash their hands together.
Liu Yang's face turned red, and he rushed past her like an angry bull.
The eyes full of hope and trust make people jealous, and they hate themselves for not having such great prestige.
It's just that his eyes were full of surprise. The rules in his heart that had been solidified for thousands of years were broken with a crisp "pop" when Qin Yao was elected as the village chief as a woman.
The handover ceremony between the old and new village chiefs was completed on the spot. Qin Yao received a small copper medal representing the rights of the village chief, as well as a money box and a bunch of keys.
Ever since Qin Yao stepped into the ancestral hall, the eyes of the tribe have been on her and they can no longer look away.
He was so stubborn that he met Yin Le at the door.
The old man no longer felt pity. When he saw Qin Yao's dashing figure when she strode in, and the admiring gazes of the villagers unconsciously directed at her, he no longer struggled with whether she was a girl or a boy.
Not hearing any applause from behind, Siniang quickly reminded her. Awang nodded, raised his palms, and cheered for Qin Yao following the rhythm of the four brothers and sisters.
“Uncle Ngawang, applause! My mother-in-law is now the village chief!”
Qin Yao returned his greeting generously, and said politely to the clan elders present: "In the future, I hope that the elders will give more advice to the younger ones. If the younger ones do something wrong, the elders can point it out."
Grandma Wang was happy and wanted to cry at the same time. She said with an emotional expression: "We old people will be like this in this life, but the younger ones have a bigger world. Children are our hope. The new village chief, you are a capable person. We can safely give the doll to you!”
Anyway, Qin Yao gave her all the face she deserved. Looking at the fervent admiration in the eyes of the young people in the village, the elders gradually accepted the reality even though they were still a little concerned about her identity as a woman.
Qin Yao nodded heavily, "I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."
The village chief waved to Qin Yao to stand in front of him and solemnly announced that she was the next village chief.
Use this to vent your inner gratitude and joy.
“Mom, why are your elbows turned out?” Liu Gong complained in confusion.
The face scarf couldn't hide her bright smile at all, and her eyes were as crooked as the crescent moon above her head tonight, as if she had won a battle.
At the same time as the east and west are taken over, Qin Yao will also shoulder the responsibility of protecting the entire Liujia Village.
Whether to change it or not depends on the situation.
“What does it matter if you are a woman? As long as you have the ability, you can still be the village chief.”
“After all, the new village chief has a foreign surname and is not a member of my Liu family. She will keep the money box in the palace, so we are worried!”
The voice of doubt rang out the second she took over the responsibility.
After all, Liu Dafu is older and has rich experience. Although he feels very sorry, he can accept the current result.
It's just that he is not someone who can express his emotions. Seeing that Qin Yao's votes were an overwhelming victory, he ran out of the ancestral hall with a grimace on his face.
Qin Yao frowned slightly, secretly clenched the copper medal that was not yet warm in her palm, and raised her eyes to look at the villager who raised the objection - Liu Youcai.
“I will build a school in Liujiacun tomorrow so that all our children can attend school and read books!”
Liu Gong: “.”
Had no choice but to clasp her fists and say: "Congratulations!"
Boldly pursuing innovation is not necessarily wrong.
After all, from the moment Qin Yao stepped in, he knew that his score could not be higher than hers.
Seeing Qin Yao say firmly: "Yes."
She couldn't help but smile, feeling happy that her benefactor was elected as the new village chief, and happy that a woman could also be the village chief.
Qin Yao took the copper medal representing the identity of the village chief, the money box and other items, and returned home with Awang and the children on the moon.
The four brothers and sister should have been yawning and clamoring to fall asleep, but at this moment they were too excited to sleep.
The four brothers and sisters gathered around Qin Yao, washing and looking at her up and down, as if she had changed and was no longer the stepmother she used to be.
