After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

After each family had finished their dinner, the whole family, old and young, went into battle together and headed to the ancestral hall with torches.

The two or three-month-old baby at home was brought over. There was no room to sit in the ancestral hall, so they stood outside the gate. Even during the New Year wolf killing, they were so neatly organized.

Every family brought torches, and the firelight illuminated the ancestral hall even brighter than in the daytime.

The village chief announced in advance that all villagers over the age of eight could vote for the election of the new village chief.

This made Da Lang Erlang very excited. He took his own lottery ticket, finished his dinner in two big mouthfuls, and stood in the courtyard urging everyone to hurry up.

Qin Yao hadn't eaten enough yet, so she asked Awang to take them to the ancestral hall first, while she stayed behind and slowly enjoyed the delicious dinner before setting off.

The election at the ancestral hall has already begun.

The village chief read out the names of the people on the list. Those whose names were read out were surprised and excited, and hurriedly stood up in the open space in the center of the ancestral hall.

There is a tall bamboo tube in front of each person. Villagers can put their signatures into the bamboo tube of the person they support. The person with the highest number will be selected as the next village chief.

There are five people on the candidate list for village chief.

They are Liu Dafu, who has high seniority in the village, Liu Qi, the young and promising man, Liu Yang, the eldest son of the patriarch's family, Liu Ji, a Confucian disciple who is already a child, and Liu Bai, the stationery factory's team manager.

When Qin Yao arrived, voting had already started for a while.

The lots in Dalang and Erlang's hands have not been cast yet.

"Uncle Awang, do you think we should vote for my father or my uncle?" Dalang asked a little confused.

The villagers' voting criteria were very simple and crude. They were actually not very satisfied with these five candidates, so they chose to vote for the one they were closest to.

At this point, Liu Dafu and Liu Qi, as well as Liu Yang from the patriarch's family, have obvious advantages.

But even so, only their family members have voted for the bamboo tube in front of the three of them.

The remaining villagers are still hesitant, because everyone always feels that these five people are lacking in something and they are not so agreeable.

Liu Dafu, I guess, was quite good to his tenants, but he was too fussy about his reputation, which is commonly known as being petty.

If he becomes the village chief, then he will become the undisputed boss in the village. Most of the people in the village rent his farmland. If he wants to take advantage of the food card in the future, they will have no way to redress their grievances.

Liu Qi is a pretty good boy. He has traveled a lot and is more knowledgeable than other boys in the village. He is also able to take on tasks.

The bad thing is that he is too young and energetic, a little impulsive, and not stable enough.

Liu Yang, the patriarch's family, is quite steady, almost too steady and silent. He has done a lot of things for the village, and he was involved in everything, but few people in the village can remember him.

If he becomes the village chief, no one will know how to talk to him.

As for Liu Bai, he is pretty good in every aspect, but it's a pity that he doesn't know a few words, and there is really nothing special about him. I can only say that you won't go wrong by choosing him, but he won't be better either.

In comparison, Liu Ji, a great Confucian disciple, was very good.

The family still relies on a domineering wife. If he is chosen as the village chief, wouldn't it be similar to choosing Qin Yao as the village chief?

Not to mention anything else, at least Liujia Village will never be bullied, and it can become a well-known village in this region!

but!

Thinking of Liu Ji's generous and generous temper in the past, the villagers all shuddered.

But I dare not let him be the village chief, otherwise Liujia Village will not know what he will do to him.

Looking at the hesitant villagers, Awang patted the two troubled teenagers on the shoulders and gave them a good idea, "If you are not satisfied, you can give up."

When the brothers heard it, they thought, yes! If you are not satisfied, you don’t have to vote!

But just when Dalang and Erlang were about to throw away the lottery tickets, a sweet female voice suddenly sounded in the corner.

Asked: "Why is there no name of Qin Manager Qin Yao?"

The sound was not loud, but it was extremely penetrating.

The villagers, who were still discussing in low voices who to choose, all fell silent and looked at the source of the voice in surprise.

Yin Le was lying on the wall, and beside him was He who was leading her up the wall.

Seeing everyone in the ancestral hall looking over, Mr. He's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she really regretted not covering Yin Le's mouth just now. He thought to herself: Yueniang, please serve some snacks!

He quickly pulled down the wall and slipped away.

Yin Le was indeed a bit rebellious, so he simply got down from the wall and walked in through the gate of the ancestral hall.

The villagers looked at her in shock and subconsciously moved out of the way.

Yin Le came to several candidates unimpeded, pointed at them, and asked again:

"Since they can all be selected, why can't Manager Qin, who is better than them in everything?"

Faced with such a sharp question, half a cup of tea was filled with silence in the ancestral hall.

Only then did someone say, "How can a woman be the village chief?"

Yin Le glanced over with sharp eyes, and the speaker was Liu Yang from the patriarch's family.

He looked at her as if he were looking at some heinous rebel.

Yin Le did not expect that this man looked younger than Liu Dafu, but was more stubborn than Liu Dafu.

At least she just asked this, and Liu Dafu didn't have the confidence to refute.

When Liu Yang faced Yin Le's scrutinizing gaze, he was actually very nervous. As the words came out, he realized how far-fetched his reasons were for Qin Yao, for fear that Yin Le would retaliate.

However, she did not argue with him or argue about the difference between men and women. She just turned to face all the villagers in Liujia Village and asked loudly: "Who do you think can be the village chief?"

Erlang looked back at Uncle Awang. Awang nodded slightly and said that he could speak if he wanted to. Erlang immediately ran to the villagers and said:

"Whoever has the ability to lead the big guys in Liujia Village as far as possible can become the village chief!"

After saying that, he quickly slipped back and raised his eyebrows at his eldest brother and twin siblings.

After being reminded by Erlang and Yin Le, the villagers who had been hesitating just now finally realized why they were picking on the faults of these people on the candidate list.

Because they already have the answer in their hearts!

That person is neither Liu Dafu, Liu Qi, Liu Yang, nor Liu Ji or Liu Gong, but Qin Yao.

"Village chief, add Manager Qin's name!"

The person who said this was actually Liu Qi.

Before the village chief could be shocked, another villager said: "Please add Madam Qin's name!"

"Add Qin Yao's name!"

Yun Niang and Qiu were outside the crowd and echoed the loud sound from a distance.

Afraid of being discovered, they hid under the tree after shouting. Then the two looked at each other and covered their mouths while laughing, their eyes as bright as fire.

Yin Le listened to Qin Yao's shouts in his ears, and the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he was hiding his merit and fame, and turned around to leave.

Unexpectedly, when she reached the entrance of the ancestral hall, a hand pressed her shoulder.

Yin Le was startled and looked up, seeing Qin Yao's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

The raised corners of his mouth under the scarf instantly dropped.

"Benefactor! I, I"

A finger was gently placed on her lips through the towel, and Yin Le immediately swallowed what she explained.

The expected condemnation did not come.

Qin Yao patted Yin Le on the shoulder, strode past her, came to the center of the ancestral hall, and smiled brightly at the villagers who looked at her in surprise.

She said: "Since it's hard to refuse such kindness, I will boldly write my name on it."

After saying that, he turned around and looked around, but couldn't find any extra high buckets for voting. He took the empty bucket that was used during memorial ceremonies next to the table in the ancestral hall and placed it in front of him, standing with the other five candidates.

The master raises his hand, welcome to vote!
