Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Liu Ruyun's eyes were red; they were really bullying her.

Liu Siyue quickly comforted her, "Cousin, please calm down, let's take another look."

The clan chief stepped forward and said, "As you can all see, Da Wang really has no intention of becoming the village chief, so don't force him."

To be fair, Da Wang is indeed not suitable to be the village chief.

Everyone knows why you chose him, so I won't spell it out.

Forcing him into this position now will only bring harm, not benefit. If he doesn't cooperate with the government's orders and ignores village affairs, the whole village will be in chaos, and everyone will suffer.

Everyone go back and think it over, and choose a more suitable person. After all, being the village chief comes with a salary. I won't say anything more.

After the clan chief said that, everyone left reluctantly. The clan elder glanced at Liu Dawang and said, "He doesn't know what's good for him."

Liu Dawang kept his head down and remained silent.

Second Uncle,

爹，

Are you alright?

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

"Second Uncle, who was that person who just insulted you?"

"He is an elder of the Liu clan, named Liu Fushun, and is the nephew of Sixth Uncle."

"Oh, no wonder he's so arrogant, he's standing up for his uncle."

"You clown jumping around!"

These important figures in the village were really fast. After leaving Liu Dawang's house, they selected the village chief on the way: Liu Jinsheng, the son of the clan chief's cousin.

Liu Jinsheng had many brothers in his family, and living together often led to conflicts. As a result, the brothers separated and lived independently at a young age.

Liu Jinsheng was the third child in his family. He had attended school for two years and was considered an educated person in the village. At the very least, he could write documents and read notices without any problem. He was also quick-witted and had previously worked as a waiter in a restaurant.

He was startled to see so many people suddenly appear at his house. He quickly put down the machete in his hand, wiped his hands on his clothes, and asked, "Clan chief, elders, and village elders, what brings you here?"

"Jin Sheng, bring some stools out. The sun is shining in the yard, let's sit there and talk."

"Why!

it is good!

"Dongmei, the clan chief and the others have arrived. Bring out some stools."

There was a large stone in the yard, its surface polished smooth, and there were many wooden stumps around it. The family usually sat here to cool off and eat.

Liu Jinsheng's wife, Pan Dongmei, brought out a few stools, and Liu Jinsheng also brought out a few. But that wasn't enough, so he found a few wooden stools so that everyone could have a seat.

Pan Dongmei put the stool down and went back inside; she wanted to avoid the men's business.

Everyone was very satisfied with Liu Jinsheng's performance. As expected of someone who used to work as a waiter in a restaurant, he had good judgment, unlike some people who think they're something special just because they have a little money.

The clan chief beckoned to Liu Jinsheng, "Jinsheng, go and call your wife over, let her listen in too, after all, this concerns your family."

Liu Jinsheng shouted in the yard, and Pan Dongmei responded and immediately came out of the house.

"Honey, what do you want?"

"The clan leader has something to say, it concerns our family, and he wants you to listen in as well."

"Please sit down!"

The villagers stood in front of Liu Jinsheng's house, pushing and shoving, craning their necks to look inside. Suddenly, someone pushed hard from behind, knocking the person in front down, and then the people behind followed suit, with those on the ground screaming in pain.

The clan elder cursed, "A bunch of bastards, get out of here! You never stop making a sound, you're such a nuisance."

Jin Sheng, close the door.

"Everyone, please go back. Don't upset the elders."

Everyone chuckled. "Jin Sheng, congratulations in advance! You'll have to treat us to drinks another day!"

Liu Jinsheng had no idea what was going on and was completely confused by everyone's explanation.

Once everyone was present, the clan chief cleared his throat and said, "Jin Sheng, Mao Quan's village chief has been dismissed, and now I'm in charge. The county magistrate wants us to elect a new village chief and submit the list. Looking around the entire village, you are the most suitable. There's no one else in the village who can do it."

This person was jointly recommended by the elders of the Liu clan and the village elders; everyone felt he was suitable and capable of taking on the important responsibility of village chief.

Liu Jinsheng was very happy, but he didn't show it on his face. He stood up and bowed to everyone. "Thank you for your kindness to me, Liu Jinsheng. However, I am just a nobody with limited ability. I am afraid that I am willing but unable to serve as the village chief."

Everyone immediately declared, "Jin Sheng, don't worry. With us old guys here, let's see who dares to disobey. We will not let them off easily."

"With the strong support of all the elders, I am willing to take over the position of village chief. I hope that you will give me more guidance in the future."

Liu Jinsheng praised these people highly, which made them feel comfortable.

Pan Dongmei was initially quite happy to hear this, but later he became scared. Being a village chief is not an easy job; it's a dangerous one. If you don't do a good job, you could get a beating or go to jail, just like Liu Maoquan. It's terrifying.

She tugged at Liu Jinsheng's sleeve, her worry written all over her face.

"Honey, aren't you going to reconsider?"

Seeing Ma Dongmei's expression, everyone frowned. "Mrs. Pan, do you have a problem with Jin Sheng becoming the village chief?"

"I have no objection, I'm just scared!"

The clan chief coughed lightly. "Pan, tell me, what are you afraid of? I will definitely solve what I can."

"I'm afraid that the head of the family will end up like Maoquan, getting a beating and going to jail."

"Pan, don't worry. Maoquan's case is an isolated incident. He was punished because he couldn't distinguish the seriousness of the matter, disregarded the laws of the court, and almost caused a death. This matter was extremely serious, and he was seriously derelict in his duties."

If someone really dies, he probably won't be able to return to Liujia Village in his lifetime.

So Jinsheng, Maoquan is a cautionary tale; you must learn from it.

"Yes!" Liu Jinsheng nodded vigorously.

"Dongmei, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"It's good that you know your limits; our family can't afford any more disruption."

The clan chief spoke again, "Since everyone is here today, let's add a new rule to our village: from now on, anyone who has been punished or sentenced to caning will be removed from the clan, and if they have no relatives, their descendants will not be protected by the village."

Those who suffered severe punishments, such as imprisonment or hard labor, were not only expelled from their clan but also banished from their village.

Otherwise, the cost of making mistakes will be too low, and people will treat village rules and laws as a joke.

This has made our Liujia Village infamous throughout the entire Lingshui County.

What do you all think?

The others nodded in agreement, saying, "Let's do as the clan chief says."

"Okay, I'll go to the county town in a few days. Once the appointment letter arrives, Jin Sheng will announce this matter to the villagers."

"Yes, Chieftain."

It was that clan elder again who spoke up—Sixth Uncle's nephew, "If you ask me, this is all Liu Dawang's family's fault."

Before he could finish speaking, the clan chief flew into a rage, "Liu Fushun, I've tolerated you for a long time. You're just like your uncle, unable to distinguish right from wrong, unfair in your dealings, and always blaming others when problems arise. With someone like you serving as the clan elder of the Liu clan, the Liu clan is doomed sooner or later."

"Today, in my capacity as clan chief, I hereby announce that Liu Fushun is no longer serving as an elder of the Liu clan." After saying this, the clan chief walked away with his hands behind his back.

Liu Fushun jumped up and down in anger, "Liu Tianbao! You've gone too far! I'm not finished with you!"

No one dared to speak, and they all left one after another. Liu Fushun watched their departing figures and felt that they were all mocking him. They were all old fogies, just good-for-nothings. Who wanted to be a clan elder? Let whoever wanted to be one be one.

Liu Fushun sat at Liu Jinsheng's house and cursed for a while, but no one paid any attention to him, so he slunk home.

The next day, I heard that Liu Fushun had fallen ill from anger.
