Time Travel: My Wife Is Busy in Farming

Chapter 267 The old patriarch meets to decide

After Su Pingan heard this, he immediately said that even if he was no longer in the family tree of Xinghua Village, he would still live here and help everyone get rich together, and he would not abandon everyone.

At this time, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Pingan said to Li Zheng: "Uncle, let's go inside and talk. It's not good to talk about this outside."

After all, this is just a private matter of the Su family, and it is not good for outsiders to know.

And Li Zheng is also very confused now. In fact, he has the same idea as most of the villagers. He is very worried about one thing, that is, after Su Pingan withdraws from the Su family's genealogy, will he stop helping the village? People get rich.

By then, wouldn’t their village be back to the poverty it was before? As the mayor of this village, he felt very panic about this matter.

But for the specific reasons and whether Su Pingan can withdraw from this family tree today, we need to go inside and study it carefully.

So, Li Zheng called a few old people in the village to go into the Su family's house with Su Ping'an, ready to discuss the matter carefully.

This is not a trivial matter. Since Li Zheng took office, Su Pingan was definitely the first to withdraw from the family tree. In fact, before he came, he followed the older generation of clansmen in the village to discuss it here. What should be done?
Such a request made by Su Ping'an seemed to be treasonous, but now he could not just sit idly by.

What is Su Ping'an's status now? He has led the people in the village to become rich. It can be said that he is helping the people in the village to struggle out of their hard life. He has indeed made a great contribution.

There was also a conservative old tribesman who said to Li Zheng: "Su Ping'an can't succeed in this matter no matter what. If he starts this way, then a second person who wants to do it will appear in the village." People who quit the family tree.”

"Okay, I'll take care of it!"

Li Zheng nodded. After entering Su's house, Old Man Su arranged the seats for all the clan elders. Then Li Zheng was seated at the top of the guests' seats. Su Pingan and Tang Xiaoman stood beside them with their hands down.

There were also people from the Su family in the room, including Old Man Su, Old Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Liu, as well as Su Xiuer and Su Xiangdong.

The oldest person in this generation is the old patriarch of the village. He is almost seventy-three years old this year.

You must say that seventy-three is not that old, right? Can this be considered a long-lived old man?
But that was in ancient society. Isn’t there a saying, seventy-three or eighty-four, the king of hell will not call, and he will go on his own. This traditional saying means that it is not easy to live to such an old age, especially in ancient times.

The old patriarch's surname was also Su. As soon as Elder Su came in with turbid eyes, he stared at Su Ping'an and Tang Xiaoman who were standing aside.

He coughed a few times, and everyone else present did not dare to say anything, including Mr. Satsuma.

"Ping An, I've watched you grow up. You've always been a well-behaved kid. Why are you doing such a heinous thing now that you have a daughter-in-law?"

Su Ping'an was neither humble nor overbearing, and came directly to give Elder Su a gift.

"Elder Su, we decided this matter before in the capital, and my mother agreed at that time."

"What are you talking about? I don't care what happened to your family, but this has never happened in our village. We old men will not agree!"

As he said that, he glanced at the other elders. They all shook their heads and sighed, saying why Su Ping'an had changed and did such a rebellious and unnatural thing. Old Man Su was listening beside him, not daring to breathe.

In front of these people, regardless of his age or status, he was nothing, and he had no chance to speak. He could only stand aside with his hands down, unable to say anything at all.

"Your mother agreed, are you going to do this? When can she, a woman, be the master?"

After finishing speaking, Elder Su looked at Mrs. Wang with very sharp eyes.

When Mrs. Wang heard that she was talking about herself, she shrank in fright. But she was stubborn and defended herself: "The clan elders didn't know that the situation was special at that time. In fact, it was Su Pingan himself who forced me to do this. I was also forced to have no choice!"

"Shut up!"

"Why did you agree to this decision? It's you who spoiled this child like this."

Elder Su shouted angrily.

"Do you have the right to agree? Who are you?"

As long as Elder Su didn't speak, when he spoke, there were so many people in the room that there was no sound at all. Everyone listened in silence, not daring to take a breath.

Old Mrs. Wang was so scolded that her face looked like a foreign chicken. Sometimes she was green, sometimes purple, and sometimes red again. This was really not good-looking.

Who would have thought that this woman, so arrogant at the time, would look like a little sheep now.

After Elder Su established his authority, he seemed to feel that he was quite useful, so he turned around and continued to persuade Su Pingan: "Ping An, a lot of things did happen when you went to the capital this time. I’ve heard about it too. But now is a difficult time for the family. You can’t just abandon this family all of a sudden. Your family has been so good to you. Think about how easy it was for them to raise you up for so many years.”

Several other tribesmen also nodded, saying that it was really not easy. After raising Su Ping'an, it was indeed not easy in that era of poverty.

Mrs. Wang made a cry, and Su Xiangdong, who had always been lazy and simple-minded, also wiped away tears.

"Woooo..."

"Yes, Ping An, what the clan leaders said is true, you can't forget your roots like this!"

Except for Mrs. Liu who has not yet come to persuade, the rest of the Su family are here to start to persuade. It feels like Su Ping'an has done something treacherous, and everyone else is the same. Now they are leaning towards Mrs. Wang and her family really wanted to pinch Su Pingan and wanted to come over and teach Su Pingan a lesson.

Everyone in the room suddenly changed direction and turned to Old Man Su's side. Su Ping'an took out his usury loan note and spread it in front of everyone.

He said: "Look, when we were in the capital, the whole family was so worried that they could only count on me to borrow this usury loan. But did they think about me as a family member? They just If you had treated me as a family member, you wouldn’t be in this situation!”

Su Ping'an's certificate was like a bolt from the blue, and the room suddenly became much quieter.
