Early the next morning, Li Family Village Square was bustling with activity, as nearly all the villagers, young and old, ladies and misses, had gathered there.
This large square, which covered several thousand square meters, was where the villagers of Li Family Village usually held large gatherings.
Normally during festivals or major village-wide events, this place would come alive with people from the village congregating to celebrate together!
Today marked the first day of the village chief election, a momentous occasion that stirred the hearts of everyone in the village; thus, despite there being over an hour until the scheduled start, the square was already packed with stools and benches everywhere.
The square hadn't been expanded for over twenty years, and what was once a spacious area could no longer accommodate everyone; those who didn't arrive early to claim a spot would have to stand at the periphery to watch.
