Mountain People

In order to let the village chiefs talk properly, Gu Mingde had to politely ask Dong Yi to go back to the house to rest.

As soon as Dong Yi left, the atmosphere in the hall immediately relaxed.

The village chief touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mingde, I made you laugh! In fact, we knew that you were back yesterday, but we just thought that you just came back because you were afraid of things. There are a lot of them, so I didn’t come to bother you, how about you? Are you all cleaned up now? If you have any questions, just tell your uncle.”

Gu Mingde waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everything is done, no big deal, how dare you alarm you."

The village head is in his 70s or 80s. It stands to reason that he should abdicate long ago, but his children do not have this ability. The village may also cause a big mess, and none of the other villagers are young and highly respected. The village chief has no choice but to follow.

He came here today for a purpose.

After careful consideration by the village chief, now the most powerful family in Caozi Village is the Gu Mingde family. There have been so many unpleasant things in the past. If you don’t make some compensation, I am afraid that the villagers will not be able to Live a good life, and the best way is to hand over the position of the village head to Gu Mingde. In this way, Gu Mingde will never take action against the villagers of Caozi Village, and with him, the village can also have an extra guarantee. After all, he still believed in Gu Mingde's character.

When the village chief thought of this, the smile on his face deepened a little, and he thought: "That's it, I brought two clansmen here today, the first one is to see you. Second, there is something to discuss with you."

"Negotiate with me?" Gu Mingde looked puzzled. He just came back, and he didn't care about the village's affairs before. What is there to discuss? Could it be that the village chief wanted to apologize for the previous incident? But that has nothing to do with the village chief!

No matter how puzzled Gu Mingde was, he still had a smile on his face, and said politely: "Uncle, if there is anything you want me to do, just say it directly, what else to discuss?"

"It's like this..." The village chief changed his tone of seriousness, "You know the situation in our village. In the past, everyone was poor, and the two families often fought for a grain of rice. I can also suppress it, but now that I am old, it is impossible for me to control the village all the time, and my sons do not have the ability to convince the public!

Now I'm going to hand over the position of village head to you, what do you think? "

The words of the village chief caused a thousand waves, Gu Mingde stood up in fright, Zhao broke the teacup in his hand, and his face was full of shock.

"Uncle, this joke is not funny! Gu Mingde knows how much he has, and I can't manage a village!" Gu Mingde shook his head and waved his hands desperately, his face full of color.

The village head motioned Gu Mingde to calm down, and then said quietly: "Mingde! Uncle is not joking with you, how much life do I still have at my age? , Now we are in troubled times again, and everyone is in danger. Although we are deep in the mountains, it is more peaceful than the outside world. If it is really safe, it is impossible.

Uncle knows that your family is capable, and you will not care about the life and death of the village. Uncle does not ask you to do anything for the village, as long as you try to protect our village!

As for the things they did in the past, I will punish them severely. Those who betrayed your family and the village have also been expelled, and it is impossible for them to appear in front of you in the future to provoke you. Not happy, what do you think? "

How about what? Gu Mingde complained for a while, he never thought to be the village chief of Lao Shizi, he was uncomfortable and said that he would have to manage such a big business in the future. Whoever has a trivial matter has to take care of it, how can he have this? energy!

It's just that now the village chief and the clan have come to the door, and it would not be very good to refuse, Gu Mingde thought for a moment before saying: "Well, uncle, I have to think about this matter, just this time. Daniel is about to get married, and everything will be discussed after we finish Daniel's marriage, what do you think?"

"The big cow is getting married!" The village chief was pleasantly surprised: "Who is the girl? Which village? Or did you find it in the county seat?"

Gu Mingde couldn't help laughing and laughing, the emotional village chief is so old and so gossip, "Uncle, it's not from the nearby village, nor from the county town, the girl is from the northwest, just right with Daniel. After seeing it, the marriage is scheduled for February, and I will invite you over for a wedding when the specific time is set."

"That's a good feeling! I'll have to drink more!" The village chief laughed and exclaimed: "Da Niu is capable, and he can still marry so much. Far away girl! I think our village is the most promising one!"

Gu Mingde was noncommittal about the village chief's words. He couldn't dismantle Gu Daniel's platform in front of outsiders, so he had to let the village chief praise Gu Daniel.

Sister-in-law and sister-in-law are here to help."

"That's a good feeling! Then I will trouble the village chief!" Gu Mingde sent off the village chief with a look of joy, and immediately went into the hall to tell Zhao the good news.

Zhao sighed in relief when he heard the words, and thought for a while: "The village chief has the village chief's daughter-in-law and his three daughters-in-law. If they all come to our house to help, then there are enough people. , when the time comes, let Shuixiu bring two servants over to help serve the dishes, and we won't have to look for others!"

Zhao's current thinking is that as long as she is not allowed to ask those village women, she can't control the rest. As for the matter of the village chief saying that Gu Mingde should be the village chief, it is not that she does not I like Gu Mingde, but Gu Mingde has a gentle temperament. He is all about peace, peace of mind, and he is not willing to conflict with others.

Maybe, it is worse than the three sons of the village chief. Now the village chief wants to give this position to Gu Mingde. To put it bluntly, it is not because of the Dong family. They were terrified, which forced them to do this.

Gu Mingde listened to Zhao's tone and did not intend to communicate with other villagers. He was at a loss for words. They will all live in the village from now on. It's just that Gu Mingde knows that the Zhao family is still angry with those villagers, and I'm afraid it will not be easy to calm down.
