Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As soon as Jiang Xi finished speaking, Jiang Si and Jiang Guoan stood up at the same time and rebuked, “Nonsense!”
“Jiang Xi, you’re an unmarried girl. How can you be the village chief? Don’t bring shame to the Jiang family and let outsiders see us as a joke.” Jiang Guoan clenched his fists, and there was faint anger in his eyes. ‘Jiang Xi, this wretched girl, has a big appetite!’
Jiang Si was so angry that he could not say anything. He could not use Jiang Xi’s identity to make things convenient for him? Was this clearly telling him not to take advantage of her?
The few old men in the ancestral hall looked at each other and were also stunned by Jiang Xi’s words.
“Since I’ll be the village chief of Happy Village, it’s only right for me to take care of Happy Village even when I go to Jing City in the future.” Jiang Xi refused to back down.
Jiang Guoan and Jiang Si’s faces were gloomy, but they saw the old village chief raise his hand to ask them to leave first. They did not dare to protest and could only leave first.
The old men discussed for a long time in the ancestral hall, and Jiang Xi almost fell asleep. In the end, the old village chief stepped forward and asked Jiang Xi, “You have no proof. What if you become the village chief and leave the village behind after you enter Jing City? ”
“I’m a member of the Jiang family. Even if I get married, can my parents and brother not want me? If I go back on my word, I’ll leave my most respected fourth brother, Jiang Si, to you to deal with as you please. This way, I won’t go back on my word, right? My fourth brother, Jiang Si, is going to be a high-ranking official in the future! He will be the top scorer! The top scorer! The top scorer!” Jiang Xi took the opportunity to repeat herself three times.
The old village chief and the others no longer hesitated. After all, even if Jiang Xi married into the Zhao family in the future, she would have to rely on Jiang Si, who was an official, right? Jiang Xi had already betted Jiang Si to them. She was sincere enough!
When Jiang Xi came out of the ancestral hall, Jiang Guoan and Jiang Si looked at her with dark faces. Jiang Xi was walking in front, so it was self-evident.
Zhao Ruifeng came over at this time. He wanted to tell Jiang Xi not to be afraid and that he would protect her in the future, but before he could say anything, he ran.
“From today onward, Jiang Xi will be the 17th village chief of our Happy Village! No one is allowed to have any objections!” The old village chief held onto his cane as he scanned the crowd. His words caused the crowd to fall silent for a moment.
“Jiang Xi is the village chief? How can she be the village chief? Jiang Xi is uneducated. If one wants to be the village chief, it should be our Jiang Si!” Yang Fen asked in surprise.
“Not Jiang Si.” The old village chief took a deep look at Jiang Si. Jiang Si had been pawned! If Jiang Xi did not take care of Happy Village in the future, Jiang Si would not even be able to become an official! Jiang Xi was a girl with a backbone. She was strict with her family and even forbade Jiang Si from using her reputation to take advantage. It was because of Jiang Xi’s backbone that the position of village chief was given to her!
“It’s the first time a little girl is the village chief here. She doesn’t even listen to everyone’s opinions,” someone mumbled. the other villages will probably laugh at us when they hear about it.
Would a little girl be the village chief? The villagers chattered non-stop, but Jiang Xi just looked at them indifferently.
Zhao Ruifeng stepped forward and saw Jiang Xi standing in the middle of the crowd, looking particularly helpless. The fear on his face made him feel a little sympathetic. Jiang Xi was still a child, a child who knew nothing. In the future, when she went to Jing City, those people would gnaw at her until not even bones were left.
“Don’t be afraid, I will protect you. I will leave someone by your side, and I will not let you meet with any accidents.” Zhao Ruifeng comforted Jiang Xi.
“You think too highly of yourself. You should worry about yourself first.” Jiang Xi said in a low voice. In her previous life, the old fortune-teller had said that although she was destined to marry someone who had been unlucky for ten lifetimes, that person would be even more unlucky before he actually married her!
Therefore, Jiang Xi now sympathized with Zhao Ruifeng very much. She wanted to tell Zhao Ruifeng that he could not beat her!
At this time, the quiet people did not notice the snowflakes falling slowly from the sky. The snowflakes melted as soon as they fell to the ground. This year was destined to be a disaster, but Jiang Xi, who was about to take over as the village chief, was not afraid at all.
The matter of bestowing a marriage quickly spread, and many people knew that there was a girl in Happy Village whose marriage was arranged by the emperor to General Zhao Ruifeng. If the emperor bestowed a marriage, it would be a good marriage. The series of items bestowed by the emperor was also Jiang Xi’s dowry. They were naturally moved into Jiang Xi’s room and guarded by the wild boar. Of course, even if the wild boar was not guarding, no one would dare to touch them. After all, they were gifts from the emperor and could not be sold. If they were sold, they would lose their heads.
