Jiang Dalang had no objections, but he would still need to discuss with the clan leader and the other village elders.
Stroking his beard, Chen, the clan leader, pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay for Sun Licheng to buy a house in our village, but if others like Zhang San and Li Si come to buy as well, we won't be able to accommodate them."
Dongchen Village is only so big. Even if Yingbao included many farms, there wouldn't be enough space to construct many courtyards.
"We should establish some rules for our village in the future to prevent others from wanting to move in," suggested an elder.
Jiang Dalang nodded, "Let's decide then: only those with marital connections or familial ties within three generations can buy houses and land here. Everyone else is prohibited."
"Indeed, let's proceed with this plan," the clan leader agreed.
"What about Sun Licheng?" Jiang Dalang asked.
