The meeting to select the patriarch of the Xu family ancestral hall ended up being unhappy.
For Xu Wen, he absolutely cannot accept the title of patriarch. The organizational discipline clearly stipulates that it is forbidden to serve in such social groups. Moreover, this title is the patriarch of a family. Although the backward social management system of the family existed in ancient times,
It plays a role in maintaining social stability, but in modern society, situations may arise in which people flout and violate the law for the sake of personal and family interests, and harm the interests of the country.
After everyone dispersed, his third uncle Xu Zhijun pulled Xu Wen and sat on the threshold of the ancestral hall door, handed him a cigarette and asked:
"Xiaowen, why don't you want to be the clan leader?"
Xu Wen couldn't tell him what happened, nor could he attack this third uncle who was keen on clan affairs. He could only say:
"Third uncle, I will leave Zhongjiang soon, and it may take a long time to come back. It is really not suitable for me to be the leader of the clan."
The third uncle let out a long sigh and took a few puffs of cigarette before saying:
"You can ignore family affairs, but don't you care about your parents' affairs as well?"
Hearing this, Xu Wen felt that there was something in his words. He turned to look at his third uncle and asked in confusion:
"Do parents have any unfulfilled wishes?"
"Of course I have wishes, but I don't want you to fulfill them for them."
"what is that?"
"Let's go and see your parents' graves."
After the third uncle finished speaking, he stood up, patted the dirt on his butt, and walked straight up the path up the mountain. Xu Wen threw away the cigarette butt and followed him.
Wangxu Village is located in a small mountain depression, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side. The natural scenery is particularly beautiful. There are three peaks behind the village, all with an altitude of about 500 meters. The highest one is called Unzen Mountain, which is located between the other two peaks.
In the middle, there is Unzen Temple on the mountain. The peak on the right is called Unwu Mountain, and the peak on the left is called Yuntai Mountain. There is a small lake in front of the village, and the water from the three mountains meets in the lake, and then flows into the Zhongjiang River. The name of the lake is
It's called Sanshan Lake.
Third uncle Xu Zhijun and Xu Wen left the village and chatted while walking along the path up the mountain.
"Xiaowen, do you know what our village was called before?"
"Is it called Xujiacun?" Xu Wen had heard adults talk about the village in the past.
"No, that happened later. More than a thousand years ago, there was a name here called Sanshantun. At that time, there were only a dozen families. Later, our Xu family moved here and it was changed to Xujia Village.
Later, people with the surname Wang also came here. Their family members became more and more popular, and they asked to change the name of the village to Wangjia Village. Because of this, our Xu family and the Wang family had many large-scale fights.
They all compromised and changed the name of the village to Wangxucun.
Now there are 225 families with the surname Wang and 118 families with the surname Xu in the village. The population with the surname Wang is obviously more than the population with the surname Xu, which is basically twice the number of the Xu family."
"The name of the village actually doesn't matter." Xu Wen comforted his third uncle and said.
The third uncle ignored Xu Wen's comfort. The two of them kowtowed in front of the graves of Xu Wen's parents, sat on two stones next to the graves and started smoking.
"You are right, the name of the village is not important. But..." Third Uncle paused, turned to look at Xu Wen and said:
"Don't human lives matter too?"
"Human life?" Xu Wen's heart tightened when he heard these two words. In his past work experience, it can be said that he killed people without blinking an eye, but once these two words are related to his relatives, there will be consequences.
It weighs a thousand catties. So Xu Wen asked in an aggravated tone:
"Third uncle, what kind of life?"
Third uncle Xu Zhijun threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stamped it out with the soles of his feet, sighed again and said:
"Your father was a famous tractor expert in the countryside when he was young. He could operate all kinds of wheeled vehicles skillfully. I don't believe he would have an accident, and it would be such a serious accident."
After hearing what the third uncle said, Xu Wen grabbed his arm, widened his eyes and asked:
"You mean there was something wrong with my parents' car accident?"
"I don't know if there is any problem. I only know that there will be no problem with my brother's driving skills. And..." The third uncle hesitated.
"And what?" Xu Wen asked.
"And the time of death also seems suspicious."
"Why is it suspicious?"
The third uncle stood up and looked at the beautiful village at the foot of the mountain and said:
"Have you heard about the demolition of our village?"
"I heard Xiaoying say something, saying that he wanted to demolish the village and build a resort."
"Have you heard about the war between our Xu family and the Wang family because of the demolition?" Third Uncle asked again.
"No, why are the two families fighting?"
"Xiao Wu and Xiao Ying stayed in the city all day without going home, and your parents didn't tell them anything about the village. Of course you three brothers and sisters don't know about the contradictions in the demolition of the village, so you won't suspect your parents' death.
"
"Third Uncle, what's going on? Please tell me carefully." Xu Wen took out a cigarette and handed it to Third Uncle and lit it for him.
The third uncle took a deep drag on his cigarette and told Xu Wen about the conflict between the Wang family and the Xu family during the demolition of Wangxu Village.
Wangxu Village has aroused the interest of Zhongjiang City Jiangkai Real Estate Co., Ltd. because of its unique geographical conditions and the beautiful scenery of the surrounding mountains and rivers. They plan to transform the three mountains behind Wangxu Village and the Sanshan Lake in front of the village into tourism
Once the resort and scenic area project was proposed, it immediately received strong support from the district and city.
After some operations, the Yunxian Mountain Comprehensive Tourism Area project was approved and listed as a key project in Zhongjiang City. Jiangkai Real Estate plans to invest 450 million yuan in the next three years to build the Yunxian Mountain Scenic Area into a national 4A level
Comprehensive tourist resort. As part of the project, Wangxu Village will be relocated as a whole, and a tourist resort will be built at the original site of Wangxu Village.
The overall demolition of the village and the construction of the tourist resort are a mixed blessing for the villagers. The villagers are happy that they can take the opportunity to improve their living conditions and receive a demolition fee. They are worried that they have lost their land and have nothing to rely on anymore.
Basic conditions for survival. But in general, the vast majority of villagers support the demolition and the construction of tourist resorts.
What neither the government nor the developer expected was that the villagers of Wangxu Village had major differences over the site selection and resettlement methods for demolition and resettlement. The Wang family and the Xu family insisted on following their own suggestions for their own interests.
If the resettlement is not carried out according to their own method, their families will collectively refuse to sign the demolition agreement.
This disagreement has delayed the demolition work of the project and has seriously affected the progress of the project. The township and district have sent cadres to the village many times for coordination, but no good results have been achieved.
What exactly is the difference between the Wang family and the Xu family? Then we have to start with the number of people and the economic status of the Wang family and the Xu family in Wangxu Village.
