"Our fellow villagers have all come today. If anyone disagrees, you can raise your hand and make your stance known now! Is there anyone who disagrees?"
Hearing the village chief's question, the villagers said nothing; no one raised a hand. The village chief asked three times in a row, but there was no response. Finally, the village chief told everyone that since they all agreed, the matter was settled. He explained that the village would prepare contracts within the next couple of days for them to sign.
He added that he hoped everyone would cooperate. If anyone disagreed, they should step forward now to discuss it; however, once they walked out of here, the village committee would not tolerate any further dissent. The village chief once again reminded everyone to consider the matter carefully.
