“Is 30,000 dollars too little?” Director Li frowned and asked with a sharp gaze, “How much compensation do you want? This is the country’s rule!”
At this moment, President Chen also said, “Just now, we heard you say that you want millions in compensation? I want to ask, where did you get this standard from?”
Perhaps it was because of the money, a villager immediately said, “Shouldn’t we? Previously, the Qingkang Company rented the land in the village, and the output was worth millions. Since they are so rich, shouldn’t they give some to poor people like us?”
Hearing this, the corner of Director Li’ mouth twitched and the rest were not much better.
They understood that whoever was poor had a point.
Mo Junyan looked sharply at the villager and asked sharply, “So, you’re saying that since you’re poor, you have the right to cause trouble here?”
When the villager met Mo Junyan’s gaze, his body immediately shrunk, and a fearful and guilty expression appeared on his face.
He retorted, “Young man, what are you saying? I’m clearly telling the truth!”
Mo Junyan nodded and said, “Yes, what you said is the truth. The truth is that if you want to sell an acre of land for a million, it will become tens of millions of assets. With five to ten acres of land, you will already be rich. Therefore, are you thinking of relying on the country to expropriate the land so that you can make a fortune? Just like those demolition families, you want be allocated several houses and then get a batch of demolition payments after tearing down a house.”
The villagers were speechless.
“Isn’t that how it should be?”
A villager expressed his doubts. “If those developers want to build houses, aren’t they going to give a large sum of compensation to the families affected? So, now that our family’s land is going to be taken back, shouldn’t we receive good compensation?”
Mo Junyan sneered, “Hehe, then 1 can only say that you guys really like to dream!”
The villagers were speechless.
How infuriating!
“Who are you, young man?”
Perhaps because his thoughts had been exposed, a villager immediately said angrily, “How can you speak like that? Don’t you know how to respect your elders? Our business is none of your business.”
He could only talk about age.
But Mo Junyan did not buy it at all.
Who was he?
He was the king of the business world. The businessmen he met in the business world were all cunning and ruthless old foxes.
Facing those people, his expression did not change, and he dealt with them with ease. Moreover, these villagers looked very simple-minded.
Mo Junyan smiled and introduced himself. “Then let me introduce myself. My name is Mo Junyan, and I’m Gu Qingming’s boyfriend. You guys came to my girlfriend’s house to cause trouble. Do you think it has anything to do with me?”
When he introduced himself as Gu Qingming’s girlfriend, he realized that Gu Qingming did not object and was overjoyed.
Was she acknowledging that he was her boyfriend?
“Gu Qingming’s boyfriend?” The villager shouted sternly, “So what? You young man are too unruly!”
When Shi Lichun heard this, he was about to retort when Shi Tietou looked at the villager and scolded sternly, “Zhang Desan, why is my grandson-in-law so impolite? Isn’t what he said the truth? Oh, did you fly into a rage out of humiliation after he exposed your thoughts? Hmph, do you really think my Shi family is a soft persimmon that you can do whatever you want? Let me tell you, my Shi family isn’t afraid of you. Even if all your villagers come, I won’t be afraid!”
Mo Junyan immediately went forward to support his grandfather and said, “Grandpa, calm down. Don’t be angry and hurt your health.”
Although Shi Tietou usually looked at Mo Junyan with disdain, he was the one who defended Mo Junyan the most in critical moments.
Shi Tietou snorted and said, “Hmph, I’m not angry.”
If it was someone from the village, they would probably be angry.
After all, they were all from the same village. It was very unpleasant to see each other in future frequently.
However, as for the people from the other villages, so be it!
Some villagers heard that this young man was the son-in-law of the Shi family.
He was so handsome and had a sharp aura. One look and one could tell that he was not an ordinary person.
“Your grandson-in-law? Shi Titetou, doesn’t your granddaughter have a child? Does anyone still want her?” An older person said disdainfully, “Tsk tsk, young man, you look good. Why would you look at a woman who has given birth? Although Shi Tietou’s granddaughter is a little beautiful, no matter how beautiful a woman is after giving birth, she’s still a second-hand good. You actually don’t mind.”
When Director Li and President Chen heard this, their eyes narrowed.
This person had a grudge against the Shi Family! This was very certain!
When the Shi family heard this person’s words, they were all very angry.
Especially since this person directly said that Gu Qingming was second-hand.
Just as Grandma and Shi Tie Tou were about to flare up, Madam Mo beat them to it and said angrily, “Did you eat feces when you came? Your mouth is full of stench! It’s not easy for my son to like a girl. If you ruin it, 1’11 definitely smash your house!”
Grandma Shi’s face was also dark as she scolded angrily, “Lai Mazi, you’re already so old. The more you live, the more trashy you become. It’s none of your business what my daughter is like. So what if she gave birth? Does she eat your family’s rice just because she gave birth? Hmph, with your family’s conditions, even if you give birth to ten girls, they won’t be able to marry.”
Being scolded by the two women, Lai Mazi was so angry that his old face turned ashen.
Lai Mazi pointed at his grandmother and said loudly, “Lai Jiaoying, you’re getting more and more unruly. Let me tell you, I’m a relative of your mother’s family, and you still have to call me Eighth Uncle. How can you talk to your Eighth Uncle like this?”
“Pfft, Eighth Uncle?” Grandma Shi said disdainfully, “If someone wants to put on airs as an elder, they have to see if others will accept it or not. Lai Mazi, let me tell you. If you say another word about my granddaughter’s faults, believe it or not, I’ll make a fuss at your house tomorrow. Let’s see how you can survive in the village with your old face. You’re already so old, but you don’t know shame. You hooked up with a widow and gave all your money to that widow.”
At this point, Grandma Shi suddenly thought of something and said, “You came to my house today. Could it be that you gave your money to that widow? Your family is broke and your descendants can’t get a wife, so you’re extorting money from my house?”
When the villagers present heard what Grandma Shi said, their eyes lit up.
They did not expect to hear such gossip.
At Lai Mazi’s age, everyone who was a peer knew him.
Although the villagers here were representatives, there were not many young people. Most of them were old people.
They had heard about the incident with Lai Mazi, and some had even seen it with their own eyes.
“How did Lai Jiaoying know about this? I’ve long heard that Lai Mazi hooked up with an old widow, but I didn’t expect him to be so stupid as to give all his money to an old widow. Didn’t he consider that he and the old widow were already so old and could no longer have children?”
“That’s right. If she can give birth, they might be able to use the money to raise children. But if they can’t give birth, isn’t the money wasted?”
“Tsk tsk, this Lai Mazi is really lucky with women.”
Director Li, Director Chen, and the others were speechless.
They were forced to listen to the affairs of the old men in the countryside.
Wasn’t this too much of a digression?
