Wanghai County, Changping Village.
The old man who spoke entered the east room, and everyone was familiar with him.
why?
Because this old man is called Lao Lintou by everyone, he is one of the five village elders in Changping Village.
He is the oldest of the five village elders. Although he is younger than Old Yangtou, Old Lintou's grandfather, father, brother, and himself are all village elders of Changping Village.
The old Lin family is a popular surname in the village and has a prosperous population. The large area to the west of the village is almost filled with descendants of the Lin family...
Therefore, as the village elder, Old Lintou is very prestigious in the village.
Although Yang Huazhong is the principal of Changping Village, regardless of age or seniority, Yang Huazhong is outnumbered by Lao Lin.
If Yang Huazhong's son, daughter, and son-in-law were not leaders, powerful, and representative figures in this land of outstanding people, then the current Li Zheng would probably be a member of the Lin family, and Yang Huazhong would never be his turn.
Some people may also say that Yang Huazhong is honest, righteous, and upright. He is a Ruziniu type character who can do things for the village, so he is suitable for being an upright person.
Come on, people who can say such things must be truly naive, ignorant and childish.
If this principle was really followed in this world, then there would be good officials everywhere now!
Don’t talk about other places, let’s just talk about Changping Village.
Are there fewer men like Yang Huazhong?
Long roots, big cow, which one is not?
But why can't others be honest, but Yang Huazhong can?
I understand everything!
So when he saw the village elder Lintou coming over, Yang Huazhong quickly stood up and took the initiative to greet the old Lintou: "Uncle Lin, do you know about this?"
Old Lintou glanced at Yang Huazhong with a displeased look: "Not only do I know, but our other old guys also know."
After Old Lintou said this, he stepped aside.
Good guy, not only did Old Lintou come over, but several other village elders also followed Old Lintou into the east room of Old Yang's family.
This time, not only the Yang Huazhong brothers couldn't sit still and stood up one after another, but even Old Yang put down the tea bowl in his hand and raised his head to look at these 'uninvited guests' in surprise.
Suddenly, I had a bad feeling.
But Lao Yangtou still tried to maintain his demeanor and told Yang Huazhou: "Lao Wu, pour some tea for your uncles."
"Mei'er, bring some melon seeds and snacks to our guests."
Brother and sister Yang Huazhou and Yang Huamei both got up at the same time and went about their work separately.
Old Lin waved his hand and said, "Brother Yang, there's no need to be busy. Everyone is busy during the Chinese New Year."
"We came here because we heard about your family's funeral of Yang Yongxian, so we old guys, representing the village, came over to ask and see if we could help."
Perhaps because of Lao Yangtou's attitude towards guests, and because of the respect of Yang Huazhong and his brothers, Lao Lintou's tone of voice was a little gentler and more circuitous than before.
However, the meaning behind the words is still very obvious, that is, the detailed arrangements for Yang Yongxian's funeral. As village elders and representatives elected by the villagers, they have the right to intervene.
Even if you are from the Yang family, you are no exception.
Old Yangtou smiled dryly, picked up the dry tobacco pole and started smoking again.
There was no timely positive response.
Yang Huazhong's brothers also exchanged glances quietly, but they hesitated to speak.
Because the previous arrangements for the funeral were all made by Lao Yang alone, and none of the brothers made a clear statement.
But when Lao Lintou and the others asked, they couldn't pretend to be dumb and didn't say anything, right? This is not what normal people should do.
In particular, Yang Huazhong himself is still upright. When dealing with major and minor issues in the village, many of them need the support of the village elders, so that things can go more smoothly.
However, Mr. Tan spoke first before Yang Huazhong could speak.
But I'm sorry, the old lady didn't respond to Old Lintou and the others. On the contrary, she opened her mouth to ask questions.
"Old Lin, and you guys, let me ask you how you knew we were discussing Yongxian's funeral?" Tan asked with a straight face.
As a one-eyed dragon, she used her only remaining eye to look behind the others in the old forest.
"Fourth, Mrs. Liu, you two traitors, get out of here!" After searching around, Mrs. Tan couldn't find Yang Huaming and Mrs. Liu, so Mrs. Tan shouted sharply!
"Two bitches, they lied about going to a pit to use the toilet, but they spent a long time just to get help!"
"Are you out of your mind when you ask outsiders to serve as reinforcements?"
When the scolding reached this point, Yang Huaming and Liu squeezed in from the door.
"Mom, don't curse, Mrs. Liu and I really never went to see Old Uncle Lin, I swear!" Yang Huaming raised his hand.
"Me too, I dare to swear!" Ms. Liu, who was standing next to him, also raised her hand confidently.
Mrs. Liu spat on the ground, "I believe you are a trickster!"
Yang Huaming trembled his shoulders, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it. I really didn't go to see Old Uncle Lin. Mom, if you don't believe it, just ask yourself. Old Uncle Lin and the others are all standing here!"
Lao Lintou said righteously: "Sister-in-law, please don't scold Lao Si and his wife. They really haven't been to our house tonight."
"Since I haven't been there, then who on earth tipped you off? They are the only two people in this room who escaped from the battlefield, so they are the most suspicious!"
Old Lintou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at the village elders behind him. The other village elders had the same expression as Old Lintou. They all felt that Tan was being unreasonable and unreasonable!
"Sister-in-law, who told us? It doesn't matter."
"The most important thing is that we need your old Yang family to inform you about this matter on the spot, and we will discuss it together!"
Mrs. Tan gave Old Lin a hard look.
He muttered: "Dogs are meddling in other people's business!"
Not only Lao Lintou heard this, but everyone else in the east room also heard it.
At that time, everyone's expressions changed.
Old Lin and the others all had dark faces, and one of the village elders was unconvinced and snorted coldly: "The hen crows, it's so unbecoming!"
As soon as these words came out, Lao Yangtou's face turned blue and white.
"Men are talking, women should not interrupt!" Lao Yang slapped the dry tobacco pole on the table and turned to scold Mrs. Tan.
Tan was originally ready to retort a few words, but when he met Lao Yangtou's eyes, he was stunned for a moment.
Damn old man, are you trying to eat people with those staring eyes?
In addition, Yang Huamei had been secretly tugging at Tan's sleeves, urging her to speak less.
Mrs. Tan curled her lips and suppressed the grievance back into her stomach.
After Old Yangtou shocked Tan, he turned around, changed his expression, and said to Old Lintou and other village elders: "Don't get me wrong, we will just have a preliminary discussion at home behind closed doors tonight, and there is nothing clear-cut. The result, of course, if there is a result, we will definitely inform the village, who told us that the truth of Changping Village lies with our old Yang family, right?"
