Chapter 153 Choosing a Tree to Live On
At this time, Qin Huaisheng was leading the remaining five or six families with the surname Qin, young and old, waiting for Qin Ruo's reply.
Those who appeared with him at the Qin family were all other people with the surname Qin who had never participated in the Qin family's extinction and had been ostracized and suppressed for a long time because of Qin Zhengde's lineage.
Qin Ruo had previously discussed with Qin Huaisheng about driving Qin Zhengde and the others out of Changhe Village.
Qin Ruo certainly wouldn't make things difficult for these irrelevant people in front of her.
What surprised Qin Ruo was that the purpose of Qin Huaisheng's visit this time was to request to join the Qin family's genealogy together with the remaining Qin people.
Qin Huaizheng founded his own clan because he was forced by the circumstances.
In this feudal era, the power of the family has never been underestimated.
Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.
Now Qin Huaisheng took the initiative to propose that he and several other families with the surname Qin join the Qin family. Qin Ruo only thought about it for a moment before agreeing.
Now that Qin Ruo is the head of the Qin family, the others naturally have no objections.
She handed over the tasks of revising the family tree, establishing family rules, and building the Qin family ancestral hall to Qin Ziyan and Qin Huaisheng.
Qin Ruo was willing to help the Qin family and build a family that would surely become powerful in the future, which meant that she had completely accepted the Qin family.
She also made it clear in advance that since Qin Huaisheng and the others were willing to join the Qin family, they had to abide by the rules of the Qin family.
Eliminate formalism and do not practice one-man rule.
In the past, people like Qin Zhengde's clan committed evil and were only interested in profit. We will never allow such people here.
Qin Huaisheng and others naturally had no objection. They had always looked down on the style of Qin Zhengde's faction, and they had only been pretending to be nice to him out of helplessness.
They were naturally grateful that Qin Ruo was willing to give them a hand.
Everything in the Qin family was based on Qin Ruo's opinion. Old Lady Qin had no grudges against Qin Huaisheng and the remaining Qin people, and she did not object.
Qin Huaisheng, who had been suppressed by Qin Zhengde's family for decades, had red eyes when he walked out of the Qin family with the Qin people who came with him.
Because of the suppression and scheming of Qin Zhengde's family, he has already missed his future.
Fortunately, my descendants will follow the Qin family and will have the opportunity to change their destiny in the future, so this life will not be in vain.
In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
The villagers of Changhe Village have all started to get busy and make preparations in advance for spring planting.
Starting from the sixth day of the New Year, the Qin family had a constant stream of visitors from morning till night.
A few days ago, Qin Huaisheng, the head of Changhe Village, announced good news to the villagers.
The Qin family publicly called on villagers who were willing to grow medicinal herbs, including more than 50 types of herbs such as Gastrodia elata, Angelica sinensis, Licorice, and Ophiopogon japonicus.
Whenever villagers purchase medicinal materials from the Qin family and sign a planting contract, the Qin family will provide technical guidance during the planting process.
The Qin family will repurchase all the medicinal herbs grown.
For those whose family is really difficult and cannot afford to buy seedlings right away, they can pay half first.
The rest will be deducted after the medicinal materials are repurchased later. Of course, the prerequisite is that the price of the medicinal materials will be lower than purchasing the seedlings in full.
The villagers were all excited at once, the rise of the Qin family was obvious to all.
Not to mention that Qin Huaisheng intentionally or unintentionally revealed the fact that the Qin family ran a popular restaurant in Taihe County and purchased a two-story house.
After the New Year, the unfamiliar faces that frequently came in and out of the Qin family either called Qin Ruo "master" or "boss".
The strength of the Qin family can be seen with the naked eye.
The villagers now look at the Qin family with only envy in their eyes.
When Qin Zhengde and others left Changhe Village, the villagers at most talked about it behind their backs, but no one was tactless enough to dig into the matter.
Qin Lizheng is fair and just in his work, unlike the previous Lizheng Wang who has already fallen, who only wants to exploit the villagers in every possible way and take all the profits for himself.
Qin Huaisheng distributed all the land and houses under the name of Qin Zhengde's lineage to the villagers, except for the part that was occupied by the Qin family.
The villagers were naturally very happy. This was an unexpected surprise, and they praised Qin Huaisheng for his move.
Those people in the village who used to gossip and take advantage of others, after going through so much, how could they dare to have any other thoughts?
When they saw Qin Ruo, they acted like mice seeing a cat and would take a detour from a distance.
The current Changhe Village can be said to be more harmonious than ever before.
Qin Huaisheng was sitting in the yard of the Qin family, patiently answering various questions for the villagers who came to consult about medicinal herb cultivation.
He was already talking till his mouth was dry, yet his heart felt more fulfilled than ever before.
Qin Huaisheng is quick-witted and efficient. This time, Qin Ruo handed over the matter of medicinal herb planting to Qin Huaisheng and several tribesmen, which clearly showed that he was trying to help the tribesmen.
Since we have accepted those people with the surname Qin, and now we are one branch, able to share honor and disgrace, joys and sorrows, we can be called a real family.
Qin Huaisheng didn't feel ashamed to work under his niece.
On the contrary, he was glad that he had made the right bet and surrendered to Qin Ruo.
He felt very lucky that the other party was willing to let go of past grudges and accept him and other people with the surname Qin in the village.
From now on, he no longer had to worry about his descendants becoming a stepping stone for Qin Zhengde's family to make money.
There is no need to worry all the time that your daughter's marriage is being arbitrarily controlled.
Qin Huaisheng had been suppressed for too long by Qin Zhengde's lineage in the past. After joining the Qin family, he felt more relaxed than ever before.
Qin Ruo is a down-to-earth person and doesn't like to play those empty games.
A few days ago, she gathered all the Qin family members together and held a simple family meeting.
After a period of time, the Qin family's clan school will be opened in Changhe Village.
The Qin family fully supports the expenses of hiring teachers and the construction of the school.
Anyone from the Qin family can study in the Qin family school, and it is specially stated that boys and girls are treated equally.
Qin Huaisheng and other tribesmen were all very excited.
In the past, all the resources of the clan basically belonged to Qin Zhengde's family, and Qin Zhengde had also made promises to the clan members before.
They clamored for a teacher to open a clan school, but decades passed and it never happened.
Now that Qin Ruo has brought up this matter and has really started to prepare for it, Qin Huaisheng feels that the burden on him has become heavier.
But this weight is responsibility, hope, and light.
Qin Ruo promised that after the school was repaired, she would let Qin Huaisheng teach his children to read and write himself.
After the clan school is officially opened, we will invite teachers to teach.
If any family member has a child who wishes to take the imperial examination, the Qin family will fully support them.
Now the Qin family not only has a restaurant, orchards, fish ponds, and farms, but will also have medicinal fields in the future. When hiring helpers, they will give priority to clansmen.
Huaisheng himself is not a person who is content with mediocrity.
On the one hand, in addition to sincerely submitting to the Qin family, on the other hand, he also sincerely wants to do something for the elders and folks of Changhe Village.
This village is really too poor, and he hopes to take this opportunity to change the living conditions of the villagers.
