The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Yesterday, most of the men of the Wu family returned home with injuries.

Some of them were seriously injured and had high fever.

Now, they have all been dragged here.

Now they heard the verdict announced by the official from the county yamen. Not only was Wu Hongren stripped of his position as village head, but the two of them were also sent directly to prison.

In other words, all the promises Wu Hongren had made are no longer valid.

Not only did they get injured in vain, but they also offended the evil spirits at the foot of the mountain.

Many of the Wu family's men looked at the Wu Yuanming brothers standing nearby unharmed with resentment in their eyes.

The Wu Yuanming brothers also noticed the malicious gazes around them, and lowered their heads, suppressing their anger.

At this moment, their family is weak and they have to endure it.

Xu Wenshan didn't care about the Wu men's little tricks, he finished his judgment.

After a round of scolding and warnings, all the Wu men lowered their heads.

Those who originally had some ulterior motives became more honest after this incident.

After scolding these people, Xu Wenshan called out all the elders of Baoshan Town.

In addition to admonishing them to discipline their descendants, his words also revealed that Lu Tianming and others were on good terms with the people in the county government.

The elders have lived for so many years, how could they not hear it?

Originally, several elders of the Wu family were still feeling sorry for Wu Hongren, but now they could only secretly curse Wu Hongren for being unlucky and hitting a wall.

Seeing that the Wu man had calmed down, Xu Wenshan began to proceed to the next task - electing the village head.

According to previous election practices, the clan elders will make recommendations first.

Upon seeing this, the elders of each family rushed to recommend people with their own surnames.

You know, the village head has a lot of power these days.

Grassroots matters such as tax collection, corvee organization, dispute mediation, and public order maintenance are all the responsibility of the village head.

This means that this position is the power center at the grassroots level.

Therefore, the elders of each family argued fiercely.

Xu Wenshan listened for a while, but he didn't hear anyone recommending anyone from Lu Tianming's team.

Only then did they realize that they had just arrived in Baoshan Town and no one had yet joined the team of clan elders.

He immediately stopped the conversation.

According to past practice, with so many people from Lu Tianming's team settling in Baoshan Town, they are qualified to select one or two people to be clan elders.

He quickly told Lu Tianming about the matter. After discussion, he selected the old village chief from Lu Tianming's team to join the clan elders' team.

Xu Wenshan's behavior also made the elders realize that Lord Xu already had a favorite candidate.

Therefore, when the old village chief recommended Lu Tianli, the original village chief of Lujia Village.

There were two weak elders from other families who also took advantage of the situation and voted in favor.

The other elders were still observing, wanting to see how the situation developed.

Xu Wenshan looked at the elders of the various clans who were still hesitating, and at Lu Tianming's signal, he directly released the bombshell news.

Some people in Lu Tianming's team have become officials in Prince Huai's Palace, and their future development is limitless.

When the news came out, the elders were shocked.

Soon, all the elders except the Wu clan elder changed sides and agreed to appoint Lu Tianli as the village head.

The elders of the Wu clan were not united. Some of them surrendered directly after thinking through the pros and cons.

They were even afraid that Lu Tianming and others would blame them, so they stood beside them and said good things about them.

The remaining elders could not resist the situation and voted in favor without saying anything else.

Seeing this, Xu Wenshan directly announced that Lu Tianli would become the new head of Baoshan Town.

Seeing that things were going well, Lu Tianming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With Lu Tianli as the village head, and Master Yan, Daya, Xiaolang and others around, power and force are guaranteed.

In this way, even if he and Brother Yao left, the remaining tribesmen would be able to survive here.

However, no matter how he and Cui persuaded his parents, they refused to go to the provincial capital with him and insisted on staying in the village to farm.

In his father's words, he has been dealing with the land all his life.

If I really went to the city, I would find it hard to live with just sitting in the yard and daydreaming every day.

He has figured it out these few days.

He felt relieved that Youtianxin and his wife were taking care of his parents.

At this time, Xu Wenshan and several clan elders were handing over the work of village head to Lu Tianli.

Seeing this, Lu Tianming also went over and started chatting.

He and Xu Wenshan both wanted to pave the way for Lu Tianli and talked with several elders for a long time.

During this period, several injured Wu men blocked the way of the Wu Yuanming brothers.

After some pushing and shoving, the Wu Yuanming brothers, with gloomy faces, led the injured Wu men back home.

Lu Tianming only heard a few words occasionally, and it seemed that they were going to compensate the injured families for the medical expenses.

After the Wu men left, families with other surnames in the village also left one after another.

At this time, Lu Tianming and the others had almost finished their conversation.

After this conversation, except for one or two of Wu Hongren's direct elders, the rest of the elders became much more friendly towards Lu Tianli.

Of course, only the elders themselves know how much of this is due to Lu Tianming and Xu Wenshan's face.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Xu Wenshan ignored the pleas of Lu Tianming and several clan elders to keep them and walked back with the yamen runners.

After bidding farewell to Xu Wenshan and the others, Lu Tianming, Lu Tianli and the others greeted the elders with a smile before heading towards the foot of the mountain.

In the camp, those who are leaving for the provincial capital tomorrow are already packing up.

Lu Tianming was still busy on the field.

I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a short time after going to the provincial capital.

He was worried about the houses that had not yet been built and the rice that had not yet been planted in the fields.

In addition, there is also the question of whether Lu Tianli can adapt to the position of village head and protect the people in the team.

As well as everyone's future silkworm breeding and silk reeling, Lu Qingqing's silk business, etc.

All these things were on his mind.

Even if he was worried, he could only remind her a few more times.

Once they leave, those who remain will have to face it on their own.

When everyone saw Lu Tianming like this, they realized that they were about to leave and felt inexplicably sad.

Time quickly came to the next day.

That morning, everyone was not busy for a rare time, but went together to see off Lu Tianming and his group.

They have been fleeing famine for so long, and have been together through life and death.

Everyone in the team was very sad about this farewell.

Although I know they are going to pursue their future, separation is always a sad thing.

Before leaving, Lu Tianming called Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang over and gave them some detailed instructions.

His words were full of worry and concern.

But after sending you thousands of miles away, we must finally say goodbye, and everyone parted at the entrance of Baoshan Town Village.

Watching the group walking further and further away, Lu Qingqing turned her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Turning around, he saw Qin Lang's eyes were filled with tears.

Not only him, but his master's wife had already nestled in his master's arms. Even the usually strong master had tears in his eyes.

The whole day, everyone was immersed in the pain of separation.

But life must go on.

With Lu Tianli becoming the village head, all the men in Baoshan Town who had nothing to do came to work as helpers.

Even many of the Wu men who had participated in the previous group fight came.

This time, without Wu Hongren as a protective umbrella, there are very few men in the Wu family who are sneaky and deceitful.

The entire foot of the mountain was bustling with activity.

The foundations of each house change greatly almost every day.
