After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

Chapter 69: Want me to be the first female village chief

"Grandpa Xu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide this from you all. After all, it's not a good thing for you."

Zhu Jiangjiang scratched his head in embarrassment and explained to him.

Everyone knew where Zhaosheng Building was. In order not to be gossiped by the villagers again, she chose not to tell them.

"No, no." Seeing that she had misunderstood, Xu Laogen quickly expressed his opinion, "You can make everyone in the city like you, that's your skill, you must not say that."

"Besides, I didn't come to you today to tell you this."

Xu Laogen opened his mouth a few times, but he just moved his mouth and couldn't say anything, looking like he was having a hard time opening his mouth.

Zhu Jiangjiang couldn't wait, so he gently urged him, "Grandpa Xu, have you encountered any difficulties, please tell me, I will help if I can."

Xu Laogen has always treated her fairly well.

In addition, there are only two elders in the Xu family, and there are no children around them. If there is anything that is within her ability, she will do her best to help.

Hearing this, Xu Laogen breathed a sigh of relief, as if encouraging himself.

"Sister-in-law, grandpa is getting old, and I can't find any flowers in Xiaohuang Village in my hands, so I think, I will give you the position of village chief!"

"what?!"

Zhu Jiangjiang jumped up from his chair, raised his voice, and looked at Xu Laogen in shock, "You let me be the village chief!"

This was too sudden, there was no sign at all, she was completely unprepared.

And, why her? !

She is not from Xiaohuang Village at all, she is just a married widow.

She didn't even know if Pei Zhao came back one day, she would still be in Xiaohuang Village, so how could it be possible for the village chief!

Zhu Jiangjiang's voice attracted several children out of the house, as well as neighbors who were almost farming nearby, they all gathered outside the fenced yard and looked into the yard.

"Grandpa Xu, stop joking with me. This is not a trivial matter. It cannot be settled." Zhu Jiangjiang panicked.

She glanced at the villagers in Xiaohuang Village beyond the fence, afraid that they couldn't help rushing in to question her.

But the reality seems to be much more harmonious than she imagined.

Not only did the villagers not rush in to tear her apart, but they also looked at her expectantly, as if they really wanted her to agree to Xu Laogen's proposal.

Zhu Jiangjiang frowned, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Sister-in-law, I have discussed this matter with everyone in the village, and they have no objection. As long as you nod, you will be the next village head of Xiaohuang Village, and also the first female village head in history!"

Xu Laogen patted her on the shoulder with a particularly proud tone, as if entrusting her with the heavy responsibility.

Female village head...

Is this considered imperial establishment?How to make it look like she is going to take up a high-ranking official position.

"Grandpa Xu, I absolutely can't nod on this matter, it's too outrageous, why me!"

Zhu Jiangjiang still doesn't understand, why did this job fall to her, an outsider?

It was impossible for her to accept it so muddled before she found out what was related to it.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to be the village head?" Pei Xiaoyu asked, tugging at her sleeve.

Zhu Jiangjiang: "No, Xiaoyu, don't talk nonsense."

Seeing her resistance, Xu Laogen said earnestly: "Sister-in-law, everyone has noticed your ability in the past six months. We believe that you will lead us to live a better life."

"Grandpa Xu..."

Zhu Jiangjiang refused again, but was interrupted by Xu Laogen before he finished speaking.

"Sister-in-law, it was all of us who were wrong in the past. I am here to apologize to you for everyone. As long as you are willing to forgive us, we will do whatever you say in the future. There will be no second words, will it work?"

The more Xu Laogen spoke, the lower his posture became, and in the end his words turned into humble and begging.

This made Zhu Jiangjiang very helpless, and she was too embarrassed to refuse too directly.

"Sister-in-law, you just promise, we were wrong before, and your lord has a lot, so don't bother with us." Outside the fence courtyard, voices apologizing to her and persuading her sounded one after another.

Some people even cried and shouted, begging her to be the village head.

"..." At this scene, Zhu Jiangjiang was completely stunned.

What the hell is going on here?Is it a trap?

"Aunts, you have apologized for the past, I don't have to worry about it with you, but I really can't let me be the village head."

Could it be that they chose her as the village head to make her take the blame?

Zhu Jiangjiang frowned tightly, recalling what happened in the village during this period, it seemed that nothing major happened.

Just as she was thinking, a word from Xu Laogen made her suddenly change her mind.

"Little sister-in-law, you don't have to pay grain tax when you are a village chief. You see, you have planted more than 50 mu of land. It's a pity to pay so much grain tax..."

"Is it possible to be a village head without paying food tax?!" Zhu Jiangjiang immediately grasped the key point and excitedly confirmed it with Xu Laogen.

Xu Laogen's heart skipped a beat when he was stared at by her, and he was taken aback, "Yes, yes, you see you planted fifty acres, so much..."

"Not much!" Zhu Jiangjiang interrupted Xu Laogen again by raising his hand, his eyes rolling non-stop.

Fifty acres of land is not considered a lot. If she could not pay the grain tax, she would have more than fifty acres of land to plant.

"Then you agree?"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be so repulsive anymore, Xu Laogen wanted to settle down quickly.

"Grandpa Xu, you also saw that I've been quite busy recently, can I give you an answer after I finish my work?"

Although the condition of not paying food tax is very attractive, Zhu Jiangjiang still has to be careful, first see what their purpose is.

"Okay, whatever is fine, as long as you agree!" Xu Laogen readily agreed to her request.

As long as she is willing to think about it, it will take as long as it takes.

After seeing off Xu Laogen, Zhu Jiangjiang led the children back to the house and continued to work on tickets.

I was busy until late at night, and the two hundred tickets were not finished.

"Second brother, take these tickets and go to the city tomorrow to find Mr. Ming. He is in charge of selling them. You don't need to show up. After you give him the tickets, you can buy some food and come back."

It is more convenient for Mingji to do things in the city, and once the news that Zhaosheng Building needs to buy tickets to watch the show, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some people.

If the second child and the others were to sell tickets, they would be drowned in voices of dissatisfaction, and they might even be beaten.

Mingji has a lot of people in his hands, he can sell the news without showing up, and hand it over to him to wish Jiangjiang rest assured.

"Sister Zhu, how do you think about what the village chief grandpa said during the day?" The second child surrounded her and asked her curiously.

In fact, they hoped that Zhu Jiangjiang would agree, so that they would no longer have to look at the villagers and be called foreigners by the villagers.

From now on, I mainly wish Jiang Jiang to recognize them, they are from Xiaohuang Village!

Zhu Jiangjiang: "I'm still thinking about it, so don't worry about it, pack up and go back to sleep."
