Through the man's narration, Chu Tianqi knew the general situation of the matter.

The man's name is Yang Ercheng, and he is from the backing village of Qiuhu Town. The village is one of the few places in the local area with mountains, and it was a place to fight devils back then. There are a total of 21 families in the village, each of which has subscribed to the village to rent hundreds of acres of hillsides, and some have rented nearly 1,000 acres, so that they can cut firewood from the mountain they rent, and they can also dig up some wild medicinal herbs to buy money.

In the month of the previous year, a company negotiated with the village leaders to sublease everyone's forests. Commitment to lease for ten years, the first year's rent is 5 yuan per mu, and from the second year, the rent per mu will increase by 1 yuan per year, and it will be paid every year. The company also promised to build houses on plain lots for villagers to use for free, and after 10 years, the houses would be completely owned by the villagers and the villagers would be free to dispose of them.

The backing village has a shortage of land, little grain production, and houses are built halfway up the mountain. In normal times, young and middle-aged men basically go out to work, leaving only the elderly, weak, women and children at home, and their lives are not rich. According to the company's promise, each family can increase their income by 3 to 4,000 yuan a year, and 3 to 4,000 yuan can be of great use to these families. In particular, you can say goodbye to the dilapidated adobe houses on the mountains and move into the plains, so that not only can you live in a new house, but it is also much easier for your children to go to school.

The other party's conditions are very tempting, but everyone is still unsteady and has doubts. Just when people were hesitating, in just two months, new houses were built, three rooms per household, as well as small courtyards and even livestock sheds. Organized by village cadres, the company took the keys to the new house and a whole box of money to do work at the villagers' meetings.

Seeing the colorful banknotes and the dazzling keys to the new house, people are moved. The village cadres took the lead, signed the agreement on the spot, pressed their fingerprints, and got thousands of yuan in rent and keys to the new house, as well as several thousand yuan in household appliances and furniture. These appliances and furniture are used as incentives for signing agreements within a limited time. There is no such shop in this village, at least if the sign is delayed for a day, these household appliances and furniture will be gone. As a result, people signed the agreement and put their fingerprints on it, and they also successfully got the first year's rent and the keys to the new house.

Living in three large tiled houses, with brand-new furniture, electrical appliances, and counting brand-new banknotes with the scent of ink, people feel that life is too good. Especially when children go to school, they no longer have to walk mountain roads and rivers.

The company's attitude is very good, and they will pay a return visit every once in a while, asking if the house is good to live in, and whether there is any problem with electrical appliances and furniture. For some of people's requests, the company also quickly responds or resolves them. People think that when you meet a good company, you meet a good Samaritan.

But last fall, things changed. At first, people were not allowed to go to the mountains, and the company said that it was for safe production and the safety of the villagers themselves. Although they are not very satisfied with such requirements, people have not paid much attention to them, after all, the banners and slogans of safe production at the entrance of the village can be seen everywhere, and the company's staff often wear safety helmets, which may be the high standards and strict requirements of regular large companies. In addition, the company is not bad to the villagers, and still pays return visits from time to time, and also helps the villagers solve some practical problems.

Originally, the next year's rent should have been paid in early December last year, but it was only more than 20 days overdue, and the villagers did not get the money. The villagers could not freely enter the area of the backing village, and they could not see the person in charge of the company, nor could they see the person from the other party's financial department, so they went to ask the village chief.

Seeing that the villagers came to look for him together, the village chief took the initiative to talk about the rent. He said that half a month ago, the company's leaders specifically approached him, saying that they would give the money immediately, but it might be a few days late. The village chief said that he had seen the payment form made by the company, and he had this matter, so that the villagers could rest assured. The village chief also said that in order to apologize, the company would give each family 1,000 catties of coal.

After listening to the village chief's words, the villagers went back. The next day, a truckload of coal arrived, and each family received more than 1,000 catties of coal. Although the coal was only less than 200 yuan, it was obtained for nothing, and people saw the sincerity of the other party. What's more, there is also a guarantee from the village chief, and the villagers' doubts are temporarily dispelled.

Until the Spring Festival approached, the villagers still did not get the rent, so they went to the village chief again. The village chief said, "It's almost over, I'll urge again", and said, "People just sent coal for nothing, so why don't you delay it for a few more days." The villagers felt that it seemed reasonable, and besides, they could only find people through the village chief, so they went back to their respective homes.

During the Spring Festival, the village chief's daughter-in-law went to her son's house to take the children, and the village chief said that she was worried about helping everyone ask for money, so she stayed in the village alone. After the fifteenth day of the first month, the village chief went out early and returned late every day, saying that he had been looking for the person in charge of the other company, and said that he had found it, and the other party promised to ask for everyone's rent before the end of the first month, so that everyone could rest assured.

A week ago, the village chief was drinking at his sister-in-law's house, along with other villagers. As he was drinking, the village chief suddenly fell ill, he couldn't speak clearly, he couldn't raise his right hand, and the corners of his mouth were still drooling, which was clearly a symptom of cerebral infarction. The village chief is relatively fat, and he usually has high blood pressure, according to the words of the village chief's brother-in-law, 'this is all because the villagers will be able to receive the money soon, and they are excited'.

The village chief has become like this, and everyone wishes him a speedy recovery. With the good blessings of the villagers, the village chief was even more excited and slurred, and with tears in his eyes, he got into an ambulance from the county and went to the county to see a doctor accompanied by his brother-in-law's family.

The next day, several villagers took the supplements to the county hospital to visit the village chief, and by the way, they also wanted to see how the village chief was doing and whether he could help everyone ask for money again. As a result, when I went to the hospital, I didn't find the village chief, not even his brother-in-law's family, and when I asked the hospital, I didn't treat such a patient at all. When I went to the nephew's house of the county magistrate, I didn't know that my uncle was sick. The villager called the village chief's son, who works in the provincial capital, and the employer told the villagers that he had just resigned and left the company yesterday.

Everyone was dumbfounded and realized that the situation was not right. It's also too coincidental that the village chief's daughter-in-law went to see her grandson during the Spring Festival and has not returned yet. When the village chief fell ill, his brother-in-law called an ambulance and said that he was going to the county people's hospital for treatment. As a result, it is now found that the village chief and his brother-in-law's family are all missing, and the suspicious thing is that the son also resigned from the unit on the same day and is missing.

There are all kinds of indications that these things should have been planned by the village chief in advance, and the village chief must have pretended to be sick. As for staying alone during the Spring Festival, it was just to cover people's eyes and ears, including the ambulance that was called, it must have been rented outside, and the purpose was to make things realistic. So he took away a lot of clothes in a grand manner, in case he needed to go far away.

If the village chief leaves suddenly, there must be a conspiracy, and it must have something to do with the rent. So, the villagers collectively went to the company. It was difficult to meet people in the company before, but this time I successfully met the other party's office director. The director of the office was surprised when everyone asked for rent, saying that he did not owe money to the villagers, and the villagers still owed money to the company. Then the director of the office took out the original agreement and compared the terms with the villagers.

When the agreement was first signed, the village committee and the villagers were Party A, and the company was Party B. The village committee and the other company each hold two copies, and the villagers do not have the original agreement in their hands.

……

As soon as he said halfway through, two trucks approached, and the stones blocked the road and could not move forward, so the driver came down to theorize. Under Chu Tianqi's mediation, Yang Ercheng asked people to move a gap and let the truck go. and said that this is to give face to the good official, and it should be blocked for a while.

Yang Ercheng continued: "When we saw the clause designated by the office director, we were dumbfounded, and the meaning of the clause changed to 'Party B provides each household with a house to live in for free, and the other two houses are temporarily advanced by Party B to build and deduct from the rent year by year'. The furniture and electrical appliances that were promised to be provided for free at the beginning have also become advances for construction, and even the 1,000 catties of coal per household a year ago have become owed to them. We were stunned all of a sudden, this is completely different from what we agreed at the beginning, it is completely opposite.

We felt that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy by the company to deceive the villagers, and the village chief was an accomplice and participant. Now that the village chief is gone, we have no choice but to talk to the company. The director of the office suddenly turned his face and said that we were making trouble, and immediately sent a group of tall security guards to push everyone out.

Later, we went to the other company's company several times, but the other party didn't talk nonsense with us at all, didn't let us enter the backing village, and each time he suddenly sent someone out when it was dark and punched and kicked us. So we went to the township and asked the township to uphold justice. After the township learned about the situation, they thought that it was clearly written in black and white, and thought it was unreasonable, and later avoided us.

The township didn't care, so we went to the county, and the county also sent someone to find the company. The company pretended to be "a large number of people" and promised to waive the arrears of the two families, which means that the house belongs to us and the rent is flattened. But this result is not what we want at all, and it is completely different from the facts, so we are ready to continue to discuss the law. The county and township sent special personnel to chase and intercept us, and we couldn't get out of the jurisdiction of Xuyuan County at all.

That's not all, these days, when we sleep until midnight, people often throw stones into the courtyard and warn us to 'be careful'. Sometimes when I get up in the morning, I find that there are dead cats and dead dogs in the yard, bloody and terrifying. Several of the children came back from school and said that strangers were often following them. It's only been a week, and we feel that it's longer than a year, and we're worried every day, for fear that something will happen.

Yesterday we went to the company again to look for it, and we were pushed out by a lot of young men, and they said that we were vexatious. Immediately afterward, the township police station found me and warned me, 'If you take the lead in making trouble again, you will arrest me and detain me for three to five months.' We couldn't go out to petition outside, and we had no other way, so we had to come up with this strategy, hoping to meet a well-wisher and be in charge of an official. Hey, I thought it was a cake falling from the sky, but in the end it turned into a big trap. Speaking of this, Yang Ercheng twisted his head to the side, raised his arm and wiped it twice on his eyes.
