Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Land Grabbers Are Coming
"Let's go, let's go to Qingque Village to divide the land!"
After arranging someone to invite the township of Shanhe Township, Chen Lao snorted angrily.
Han Cheng was not wrong at all, for the dozens of acres of land of Han Cheng's family, Chen Lao had been greedy for a long time, but the land that his family could own had reached the upper limit stipulated by the imperial court, so although he was greedy, he had no choice but to watch.
But now it's different.
He began to ask people to go through the path of the Wang family last autumn, wanting to raise the rank of the lord of the family even more, and it was finally decided yesterday.
Families with lords can own much more land than ordinary people's families, and the higher the lord, the more land they can own.
Now that the title of lord of the Chen Lao family has risen by one level, there is an additional 300 acres of land.
He spent so much money to do this well, and now he naturally wants to make up the quota of this land as soon as possible.
According to his original idea, he would wait until after the autumn harvest to start acting, but because of the half-bowl of gruel that Han Cheng didn't even know about, Chen Lao was completely annoyed, and he wanted to start dividing the land now.
He still has some helplessness for the rest of the family, but the Han Cheng family, who owes him a lot of money, has enough means!
Let me drink half a bowl of gruel more than I will let you lie, and now I will divide your fields and get all the wheat growing on them!"
Half a bowl of gruel for forty acres of land has been growing for a few months, and there is wheat that can be harvested in less than two months, such a good deal makes Chen Lao feel a lot better.
Chen Lao pursed his mouth and said to go, but he didn't leave immediately, because he still had to entertain the townsmen of Shanhe Township at home.
Such a thing as dividing the land has always been co-presided over by the township and the mayor, and the township is older than him, so when he asks people to do things, he still has to entertain him for a meal.
"Go kill a chicken, kill a goose."
Chen Lao hesitated for a while, and finally squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth, which sounded like he had been stripped of his heart.
"Pick up the small, don't lay eggs and kill!"
Seeing that someone was ordered to go to the chicken coop, Chen Laoli hurriedly added.
The township of Shanhe Township came very quickly, and the people who agreed to do things were also very fast, but it was just a division of land, and the land of the person who was picked up by Chen Lao was not a matter at all.
After eating the meat prepared by Chen Laojiao unceremoniously, and resting here for a while, the township of Shanhe Township and Chen Laojiao took some people to Qingque Village......
"Cheng ...... Brother Cheng! No... Oh no! Old...... Chen Lao picks the belt...... Take the township to correct them, and ...... I'm going to divide your land... Miles! ”
Han Cheng was taking the little girl to fish by the river, and a half-grown child from Qingque Village ran over, panting and shouting as he ran, his voice full of panic and anxiety.
Han Cheng was stunned when he heard this, didn't he say that the money didn't need to be settled until after the autumn? How long has it been?
"Little girl, let's go!"
Han Cheng picked up Xiaoya and ran to the village with the child.
Han Xiao is alone at this time in the family, and when he encounters such a battle, he doesn't know what he will be bluffed into, so he must go back quickly.
As for these methods, we can only take one step at a time!
On the field road, a young man of eleven or twelve years old, dressed in tattered clothes, walked hurriedly.
He was the sick brother of the mule, the three donkeys.
Most of the three donkeys' illnesses were tired, and the other half were hungry, so they rested at home for a few days, and ate the fish that Han Cheng brought to the mule for the mule to take home, and recuperated for two or three days.
After the mule herded the sheep today, the three donkeys felt that they were okay and could herd the sheep, and after thinking about it, they went to Chen Lao's house.
He wanted to come over and tell Chen Lao about replacing the mule, but after coming to Chen Lao's house, he learned that Chen Lao and Xiang Zheng were going to Qingque Village to divide Han Cheng's family land.
For Han Cheng, the three donkeys are very grateful, because if Han Cheng is willing, he can completely snatch his errand of herding sheep.
But Han Cheng didn't do this, but took the initiative to ask his younger brother Mule to stay, and asked the mule to bring fish for him to eat.
If he didn't know that it was these fish, the mule felt that he might not be able to carry it this time.
And the relationship between Han Cheng and Luo Dawa is not ordinary, he is Luo Dawa's future uncle, and he and Luo Dawa have a good time, so after hearing these news, the three donkeys left Chen Lao's house in a hurry, and he wanted to tell Luo Dawa the news quickly!
"What?!"
Luo Dawa, who heard the news, was shocked and angry, and after a sound was issued, it was like a muffled thunder exploding here.
"No! I'll have to go back and see! ”
After a short period of anger, Luo Dawa, who had turned around three times, said anxiously.
"You just go back, I'll watch you the cow!"
The three donkeys made a righteous sound, and although the mule holding the whip on the side did not make a sound, they pointed their heads vigorously.
"Good!"
Luo Dawa answered, shook off her thick long legs and ran away in the direction of Qingque Village, extremely fast.
The two brothers of the three donkeys and the mule are full of worries here, and they are all sweating for Han Cheng's family, that is Chen Lao and the township who is even bigger than Chen Laojiao!
"Baa~!"
The three donkeys bent down to pick up a piece of dirt and threw it out, and a sheep that broke away from the flock and wanted to run to another place was hit by the dirt and cried out in panic, and quickly turned around and returned to the flock......
"Li...... Captain, didn't you say that it would be settled after the autumn harvest? ”
Han Xiao's face turned pale, and he couldn't say anything.
"My family needs money, and I will take it back now, you only need to take out the five thousand dollars lent to you, and you don't need the money these days, and you will be in vain.
Han Xiao, there are not many people like me who are generous and benevolent, and you have taken a big advantage! ”
Chen Lao said sternly, as if he was more generous.
"But... But it's long, and now it's green and yellow, and the family... I really can't take it out at home! ”
Han Xiao was full of sadness.
"You still want to pay the bill?! When I borrowed money, you begged for it! I kindly borrowed money to treat my son with you, and now that I have an emergency, I have exempted you from the interest of 2,000 yuan, as long as you don't pay back the principal, what is the reason? Is it to see that I am a bully?! ”
Hearing that Han Xiao couldn't come up with the money, Chen Lao's face suddenly changed and he began to speak violently.
Although Han Xiao knew that what Chen Lao said was wrong, he didn't know how to refute it for a while.
"If you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust, I owe debts and repay money, it is justified, since you want to repay the debt, then I will take your family's land!"
Chen Lao said out loud with a look of being wronged, but his heart blossomed.
