Chapter 333.
“My lord.”
On this day, Wang Dust was cultivating in his quiet room when Xiao He hurriedly came to the door and said softly, “Just now, Patriarch Chen sent someone over to ask you to go to the Three Surnames Ancestral Hall.”
Wang Chen steeply opened his eyes and asked, “Did it say anything?”
Xiao He replied, “It says that you are needed to adjudicate on the matter of Chen Laohan’s family at the east end of the village.”
Competition for family property ……
The corner of Wang Dust’s mouth twitched.
He, a man of the Purple Mansion, was going to meddle in other people’s family affairs, so where was the face of the cards to try?
But as the village chief, such a matter was again within the scope of duties!
“Hm, I know.”
After letting Xiao He send the visitor away, Wang Chen did not get up in a hurry.
He first changed into a set of robes, then he leisurely went out and mounted his big green donkey.
Without panic, he rushed to the Three Surnames Ancestral Hall.
More than ninety percent of the villagers in Dada Village were among the three surnames of Huang, Chen, and Xu, and it was said that their ancestors were sworn brothers who founded the village together.
Therefore the ancestral hall was also co-built and shared.
When Wang Duan arrived at the ancestral hall, it was already crowded with villagers watching the spectacle.
Chen Anhe was also among them.
“Greetings to the village chief.”
This white-haired old cultivator hurriedly bowed to Wang Chuan, “I’m really ashamed to have bothered Your Excellency to show up.”
He had a look of “I’m ashamed and upset but there’s really no way out.”
This old fox!
Wang Dust waved his hand and asked, “What exactly is it that you can’t solve?”
A village with three major surnames, under normal circumstances, the affairs of the clan’s own surname are usually resolved internally.
Instead, outsiders were allowed to meddle.
Wang Dust was an outsider!
Chen Anhe, as the Chen Clan’s patriarch, his prestige in Dada Village, especially in his own clan, was far greater than Wang Dust, the outsider village chief-even if Wang Dust was a Purple Mansion cultivator.
As the saying goes, family scandals should not be publicized, and to be honest, Wang Chen was quite curious in his heart.
He didn’t think that this old fox really couldn’t solve Chen Laohan’s family affairs.
“It’s just the two brothers ……”
Chen Anhe smiled bitterly and pointed to the two hans standing next to him, saying, “Dividing the family property they both said that they had suffered a loss, and did not listen to the old man’s arrangements, and made too much noise, so they had to ask Your Excellency to come and arbitrate.”
He bowed again, “Please forgive me, my lord.”
“Forget it.”
Wang Chen was bland, “Then you guys speak.”
His gaze went to the two brothers from Old Man Chen’s family, who involuntarily shivered and subconsciously lowered their heads.
Wang Chen’s eyes were too sharp, making both of them all afraid to look directly at him.
The surrounding villagers also closed their mouths, and not a needle could be heard in the large ancestral hall.
The atmosphere all became weird.
“Cough!”
Chen Anhe suddenly coughed twice with force and said, “His Honor asked you to speak, what are you waiting for?”
The Chen brothers immediately woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly told the whole story.
It turned out that a few days ago, Chen Laohan had gotten acutely ill and passed away without leaving a will, and now the two brothers had gotten into trouble with the clan over the distribution of the family property.
And for the distribution plan proposed by Chen Anhe, they were both dissatisfied and refused to give up no matter what they said.
Almost got into a fight!
Just this?
Wang Dust snorted, “Can’t one person get half?”
Chen Anhe was helpless, “Some things aren’t very good to divide, the fields are fine, the house can’t be cut in half, right?”
In addition to real estate and fields, there was also furniture, livestock, food, and spirit stones and so on.
For example, Chen Laohan left behind a storage bag, both brothers wanted it, but how can one be divided?
That’s why there was no argument.
The Chen family’s eldest is a bit bratty: “Mr. Village Chief, all I’m asking for is a fair deal!”
Chen Lao Er is also not a good person: “That’s right!”
The two brothers glared angrily at each other.
“Since it’s like this ……”
Wang Dust said expressionlessly after hearing this, “Then let’s distribute it according to my program.”
He didn’t allow the other party to part with his words and pointed at the Chen Family Boss and said, “You’ll divide these family properties.”
The Chen Family Boss had just revealed a joyful expression when Wang Chen continued, “Split it into two, then you choose first.”
He pointed at Chen Eldest.
“Huh?”
The two brothers froze in unison.
It was actually frozen.
It was often said that it was difficult for a clean official to resolve a family matter, and dividing the family property was the most troublesome family matter.
Who had thought that the method Wang Dust proposed was so simple.
But upon careful consideration, no one could say that this proposal was unfair!
The two subconsciously looked at Chen Anhe.
“Cough!”
Chen Anhe coughed again, “I support Lord Village Chief, it’s settled.”
Wang Dust laughed and turned to walk away.
Still the same sentence, he simply did not believe that Chen Anhe could not suppress the two Chen Clan brothers.
Chen Anhe was not only the head of the Chen Clan, but he was also at the ninth level of Qi Practicing.
These two brothers looked very tough with their tiger backs, but in reality, their cultivation was much worse than Chen Anhe.
Most importantly, their brains were not very bright.
They were very suitable to be used as guns!
Wang Dust couldn’t figure out what kind of medicine Chen Anhe was selling in his gourd.
But he was really a bit annoyed.
Since Wang Dust had taken office in Dada Village, he had been isolated and even ostracized by the villagers, and had not exercised any of the village chief’s powers, except for the hundred acres of shetland.
He didn’t care about this, but rather felt that this was not bad, so that he could practice quietly.
But some people seem to not want to let Wang dust live comfortably, as far as today’s incident is concerned, the other side of the test meaning is too obvious!
Then the question came, Wang Dust has no intention of getting his hands on the control of Dada Village, Chen Anhe and the others couldn’t possibly fail to see that, so why are they still targeting him to make trouble?
Wang Chen believed that this time was just the beginning, and that new troubles were waiting for him.
And for what reason were they so scornful of themselves?
“Why?”
After the villagers in the ancestral hall had dispersed, Chen Anhe came to the inner room and inquired in a puzzled manner, “Didn’t we agree earlier that as long as he was peaceful, we didn’t have to bother?”
“Things have changed.”
Huang Deqi, who was sitting in the inner room, said in a deep voice, “I’m afraid we’ll have to change the village chief again!”
Chen Anhe was surprised, “But he’s only been here for a month or so, do you have a way to transfer him?”
“Transfer?”
Huang Deqi laughed, “What makes you think that? If I can transfer him away, then the position of village chief won’t be left vacant for two years, you overestimate me.”
Although the village chief was a small position, but when it came to the West Sea Sect’s entrance examination, it was not something that his connections could interfere with.
If he wanted to move Wang Dust, there was only one way to do so!
Chen Anhe was silent for a moment and said, “I don’t think this is a good way.”
He now had an indescribable fear of Wang Dust.
“It’s not the first time.”
Huang Deqi was disdainful, “Patriarch Chen, you and I are in the same boat, I won’t harm you!”
He very much despised Chen Anhe, feeling that the other party was greedy and timid, always trying to save his own ass.
Most of his body was submerged in the mire, and he actually wanted to wash it clean, it was simply hilarious!
“You don’t care, I’ll arrange this matter.”
