Cheng Xiaohu and Lao Deng came with me together and were waiting for me outside.
After I came out, the two of them ran towards me and asked me anxiously: "Dashan, how is the situation?"
Lao Deng also asked: "They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
I shook my head, looked back and said, "Let's go back first and talk as we walk."
On the way back to the village, I told them what had just happened, and they were sweating for me after hearing this.
Cheng Xiaohu asked me: "Dashan, how can we get more than half of the people to agree to this decision in three days?"
"I'll find a way to do this. You have to know that most of the fellow villagers actually agree. It's just that they don't dare to offend these two clan leaders, so they listen to them."
Lao Deng agreed: "Yes, before you came to us, you had to ask the clan leader for his opinion on all matters in the village."
"This is feudalism, and it is no longer a slave society. It really needs to be changed."
Cheng Xiaohu sighed with emotion: "It's easier said than done! You have also felt that our mountains are high and the roads are far away. If Jiang Tao hadn't come now, no big leader from the county would have come to us before."
Lao Deng nodded and agreed: "Yes, I heard from some old people in the village that things are better now. In the past, as long as you were rich and powerful, you could marry several concubines."
I shook my head speechlessly. The problem is that it is really difficult to really change this place because there are always people who are so pedantic.
In order to change this place, Jiang Tao even planned to sell his only house, but these people are really ignorant!
I have already fallen out with the two clan leaders. Apparently, clan leader Zhou told me to give me three days. In fact, I know that not more than half of the people will agree by then.
As long as they are still there, it is impossible!
This is just to put us both at a lower level. Patriarch Zhou is more difficult to deal with than Patriarch Liu.
What I have to do now remains the same. Three days later, I have no choice but to contact Jiang Tao again.
But I think that these two clan leaders will not give me anything good to eat in these three days.
They will definitely cause a lot of trouble, and they might even incite the masses to drive me out of Qinglong Township.
That night, after I returned to the cabin, I debugged the monitoring system I had installed a few days ago.
I must be extremely cautious in the next three days to prevent any emergencies.
The first day everything was uneventful, no problems occurred.
Until the afternoon of the next day, when I was still busy in the fields, the village chief suddenly came to call me and said that several villagers came to me to ask for the Dharma.
I didn't know what was going on at the time, until I rushed back to the village entrance, I saw that my small wooden house had been demolished to pieces.
There were about a dozen villagers from other villages clamoring to see me, and I found that they all had chickens in their hands, and there were a bunch of dead poultry on the ground.
After seeing me, one of the aunts came over to me.
She stepped forward and pushed me hard, and said angrily: "Look at what you did! All my chickens are dead, you pay for my chickens."
Others rushed forward, pushing me and cursing me.
From their scoldings, I learned that all their poultry ate grass in the orchard and then died inexplicably.
Yes, the orchard has indeed just been sprayed with herbicides, and I have also informed all the villagers not to let poultry graze in the fields during this period.
I didn't expect something like this to happen, but what surprised me was why so many people died?
Each of these villagers asked me to give them an explanation, otherwise they would pull out all my saplings.
I took a closer look and found that most of the villagers who came to make trouble did not agree to hand over their land.
This immediately reminded me of the tricks of Patriarch Liu and Patriarch Zhou. Could it be that they wanted to use this method to make the villagers hate me?
At this moment, I can only calm down the anger of these people.
I waved my hand and said to them: "Folks, listen to me. Your poultry died in the orchard. I am indeed responsible, but I have made an announcement some time ago and the orchard has been treated with herbicides.
Why do you still put poultry in the orchard?"
The aunt who pushed me before said loudly: "Our chickens used to be kept in the ground, why can't we let them go? Patriarch Liu can't tell for sure, why do you?"
"That's right! Why do you think so? I'm telling you, if you don't give us an explanation today, we will pull up all your fruit saplings."
I said patiently: "I didn't say not to let them go. I wish everyone's poultry could be raised in the ground. This would also make fertilizer for our fruit trees and eliminate insects. But the problem is, we just finished plowing during this period."
I have also issued a notice regarding herbicides, but you are deliberately causing trouble for me!"
Everyone started talking again, saying that they must be given an explanation today, and more and more people were watching.
Even the villagers who had supported me before started talking about me because of this incident.
An uncle stood up and shouted loudly: "Fellow folks, haven't you noticed? Ever since this kid came to our place inexplicably, he has made our place very restless! What is the reason for this? I now seriously doubt that this kid is
He deliberately came to cause destruction, I now oppose all his actions in our place and drive him out of our place!"
"Yes! Drive him away, we don't welcome him here!"
The sounds that kept coming and going made me feel a little overwhelmed, and even felt in a trance for a moment.
Although I thought that Patriarch Liu and Patriarch Zhou would come to punish me, I didn't expect these people to be so pedantic. I really began to doubt myself.
In the midst of the daze, Cheng Xiaohu's voice suddenly sounded outside the crowd: "Do you still have any conscience? Dashan helped you sell so many goods and make so much money for you last time, so forget it if you don't know how to be grateful.
, now that something like this has happened, we have to drive him away. Have you people’s consciences been eaten by dogs?”
Cheng Xiaohu rarely behaves like this in front of so many people. He is usually timid and typically afraid of getting into trouble.
But at this moment, what he said really surprised me.
But the guys didn't take him seriously at all. One of the aunts echoed: "Cheng Xiaohu, which village are you from? Why are you speaking for an outsider?"
Cheng Xiaohu squeezed into the crowd and continued: "You may all think that I, Cheng Xiaohu, have no responsibilities. I am of a lower generation and have no right to speak. But I only know that all the changes Dashan has made when he came to us are obvious to all.
."
"What is obvious to all, no matter what, you must give us an explanation today!"
"Yes, you must give us an explanation, otherwise you will no longer want to stay here and get out of our Qinglong Township!"
Everyone began to protest again, and I was wondering at this moment whether Patriarch Liu and Patriarch Zhou were secretly observing this scene in a corner?
Are they very satisfied after seeing this scene? Maybe they are enjoying themselves secretly!
But I already had a backup plan, and I have been waiting for this moment!
I immediately shouted to those around me: "Clan Chief Liu, Chief Zhou, you two should stop hiding in the dark. It's time now. Come out and meet us!"
