MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 459 Welcome to vote

　　After each family has finished their dinner, the whole family, old and young, joins the battle and goes to the ancestral hall with torches.

The two or three-month-old baby in the family was all brought over. There was no room for them 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 to participate in the election of the new village chief.

This made Da Lang Erlang very excited. He took his own sign and finished his dinner in two big mouthfuls. Then he stood in the courtyard and urged 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 person, Liu Yang, the eldest son of the patriarch's family, Liu Ji, a Confucian disciple who has been born as a child, and Liu Bai, the general manager of the stationery factory's fleet.

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

 The lots in the hands of Dalang and Erlang have not been cast out yet.

“Uncle Ngawang, 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.

 Even so, the bamboo tube in front of the three of them is currently only their family members who have cast their votes.

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

Liu Dafu, I think, was quite good to the tenants, but he was too fussy about it, so he saved his face, which is commonly known as being petty.

If he becomes the village chief, he will become the undisputed boss in the village. Most of the families in the village rent his family's land. If he asks for food in the future, there will be no way for them to redress their grievances.

Liu Qi is a pretty good guy. 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 had done a lot of things for the village, and he was involved in everything, but few people in the village could remember him.

If he became the village chief, no one would 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?

 If nothing else, at least Liujia Village will never be bullied, and it can become a well-known village in these ten miles and eight towns!

but!

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

I dare not let him be the village chief, otherwise Liujia Village will not know what kind of torment he will have.

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 abstain."

When the two 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.

He asked: "Why is there no name of General Manager Qin Yao?"

This sound is not loud, but it is very penetrating.

The villagers who were still discussing in low voices who to choose, all fell silent and looked at the place where the voice came from 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 himself: Yueniang, please give me some snacks!

　　Quickly removed the wall and slipped away.

Yin Le was indeed a bit rebellious, so he simply got off 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, not?”

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

Just then someone said: "How can a woman be the village chief?"

Yin Le glanced over with a sharp gaze. The speaker was Liu Yang from the patriarch's family.

He looked at her as if he were looking at a rebellious traitor who had committed a heinous crime.

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.

Facing Yin Le's scrutinizing gaze, Liu Yang was actually very nervous. As he spoke, he realized how far-fetched his reasons were for Qin Yao, for fear that Yin Le would retaliate.

However, she did not get entangled with him, nor did she 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 turned back and glanced 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 us Liujiacun people to a better place can be 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 the name of Manager Qin!”

 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 walked to 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 the mouth under the kerchief fell instantly.

 “Benefactor! I, I”

A finger was gently placed on her lips through the face 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, and came to the center of the ancestral hall. She smiled brightly at the villagers who looked at her in surprise.

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

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

 Hands up, welcome to vote!
