On this day, Wang Chen was practicing in the quiet room. Xiao He hurriedly came to the door and said softly: "Clan Chief Chen just sent someone over to invite you to the Sanxing Ancestral Hall."
Wang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Did you say something?"
Xiaohe replied: "It's a matter involving the old man Chen's family in the east of the village, and you need to make a decision."
Fighting for family property...
Wang Chen's mouth twitched.
He is a dignified master of the Purple Mansion and wants to take care of other people's housework. What are the cards?
But as a village chief, such things are within the scope of his duties!
"Well, I understand."
After asking Xiao He to send the people away, Wang Chen didn't get up in a hurry.
He first changed into a suit of clothes, then went out and mounted his big green donkey.
We rushed to the Sanxing Ancestral Hall without any rush.
More than 90% of the villagers in Datian Village belong to the three surnames Huang, Chen, and Xu. It is said that their ancestors were sworn brothers and jointly founded this village.
Therefore, the ancestral hall is also built and shared.
When Wang Chen rushed to the ancestral hall, it was already crowded with villagers watching the fun.
Chen Anhe is also among them.
"I met the village chief."
The gray-haired old monk hurriedly saluted Wang Chen: "Excuse me, sir, for coming forward. I am really ashamed."
He looked like "I'm ashamed and upset but there's really nothing I can do about it."
This old fox!
Wang Chen waved his hand and asked: "What is it that you can't solve?"
There are three major surnames in a village. Under normal circumstances, the affairs of the clan and surname are usually settled internally.
Rather than letting outsiders intervene.
Wang Chen is an outsider!
As the patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Anhe's prestige in Datian Village, especially within his own clan, far exceeds that of Wang Chen, the outsider village chief - even if Wang Chen is a monk from the Zifu.
As the saying goes, family scandals should not be publicized. To be honest, Wang Chen was quite curious.
He didn't think that this old fox really couldn't solve Old Man Chen's housework.
"Just the two brothers..."
Chen Anhe smiled wryly and pointed at the two men standing next to him, and said: "I said I suffered a loss when the family property was divided, and I didn't listen to the old man's arrangements. The trouble was too fierce, so I had to ask your Excellency to come and arbitrate."
He bowed and saluted again: "My lord, please forgive me."
"never mind."
Wang Chen said calmly: "Then you say it."
He looked at the two brothers from Old Chen's family, who shuddered involuntarily and lowered their heads subconsciously.
Wang Chen's eyes were so sharp that neither of them dared to look directly at him.
The surrounding villagers also shut their mouths, and the sound of needle dropping could be heard in the huge ancestral hall.
The atmosphere became weird.
"Ahem!"
Chen Anhe suddenly coughed hard twice and said, "My lord asked you to speak, why are you standing there in such a daze?"
The Chen brothers suddenly woke up from a dream and hurriedly told the whole story.
It turns out that old man Chen fell seriously ill a few days ago and passed away without leaving a will. Now the two brothers are having trouble with the clan over the distribution of family property.
As for the distribution plan proposed by Chen Anhe, they were not satisfied and refused to give up no matter what.
Almost got into a fight!
That's it?
Wang Chen sneered and said, "Can't we do half for one person?"
Chen Anhe was helpless: "Some things are not easy to divide. The fields are fine, but the house can't be cut in half, right?"
In addition to real estate and fields, there are also furniture, livestock, food, spiritual stones, etc.
For example, both brothers want a storage bag left by Old Man Chen, but how to divide one between them?
Only in this way can we argue.
The eldest son of the Chen family was a little unruly: "Village Chief, what I want is justice!"
Chen Laoer is not a good person either: "That's right!"
The two brothers glared at each other.
"In that case..."
After Wang Chen listened, he said expressionlessly: "Then allocate according to my plan."
He didn't allow the other party to comment, pointed at the eldest son of the Chen family and said, "You come and divide these family properties."
The eldest son of the Chen family had just shown a happy face when Wang Chen continued: "Divide it into two parts, and then you choose first."
He pointed at Chen Laoer.
"ah?"
The two brothers were stunned.
He was stunned.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household chores, and dividing family property is the most troublesome household chore.
Who would have thought that the method proposed by Wang Chen is so simple.
But if you think about it carefully, no one can say that this plan is unfair!
The two of them looked at Chen Anhe subconsciously.
"cough!"
Chen Anhe coughed again: "I support the village chief, that's it."
Wang Chen chuckled, turned around and left.
Again, he didn't believe that Chen Anhe couldn't suppress the two Chen brothers.
Chen Anhe is not only the leader of the Chen clan, but he is also at the ninth level of Qi training.
The two brothers looked very tough and tough, but in fact their cultivation level was much worse than Chen Anhe's.
The most important thing is that the two of them are not very smart.
Very suitable for use as a gun!
Wang Chen couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Chen Anhe's gourd.
But he was really a little annoyed.
Since Wang Chen took office in Datian Village, he has been isolated and even ostracized by the villagers. Except for the hundred acres of farmland, he has never exercised any power of the village chief.
He didn't care about it, but thought it was good to do so, allowing him to practice quietly.
But some people don't seem to want Wang Chen to live comfortably. As far as today's events are concerned, the other party's temptation is too obvious!
Here comes the question. Wang Chen has no intention of getting involved in the control of Datian Village. It is impossible for Chen Anhe and others not to see it. Why are they still targeting him?
Wang Chen believes that this time is just the beginning, and there will definitely be new troubles waiting for him later.
Why are they so afraid of themselves?
"Why?"
After all the villagers in the ancestral hall dispersed, Chen Anhe came to the back room and asked puzzledly: "Didn't we agree before that as long as he keeps his peace, we don't need to take care of him?"
"Things have changed."
Huang Deqi, who was sitting in the back room, said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid we have to change the village chief!"
Chen Anhe was surprised: "But he has only been here for more than a month. Do you have any way to transfer him?"
"Pull away?"
Huang Deqi smiled: "Why do you have such an idea? If I can transfer him, the position of village chief will not be vacant for two years. You overestimate me."
Although the village chief is a small position, it involves the entrance examination of the Xihaizong and is not something that his connections can interfere with.
If you want to move Wang Chen away, there is only one way!
Chen Anhe was silent for a moment and said, "I don't think this is a good idea."
He now has an unspeakable fear of Wang Chen.
"It's not the first time."
Huang Deqi disdainfully said: "Clan Chief Chen, you and I are on the same boat, I won't harm you!"
He looked down upon Chen Anhe very much, thinking that Chen Anhe was greedy and timid, and always wanted to protect himself wisely.
Most of my body was soaked in the mud, but I still wanted to wash it off. It was so funny!
"Don't worry about it, I will arrange this matter."
