Chapter 77 If you don't have anything to do lately, try to stay away from the village!

There were people at An Jianmin's house today.

While greeting her uncle, An Songyu asked about the situation at the village entrance.

An Jianmin paused in his packing, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"They must have come by smelling it."

Seeing that An Songyu didn't quite understand, An Jianmin explained it to her in more detail:

"I heard that there were people like this when Lin Village was demolished in the past."

"They all came here to make money because they saw the villagers get rich after the demolition and relocation."

After a slight pause, An Jianmin continued:

"These are still the ones that are on the surface."

“The underhanded methods are even more difficult to guard against.”

"Xiaoyu, if you don't have anything to do lately, you should come to the village less often!"

"And your brother and sister are the same."

"Anyway, things in the village are just like that. When we're cleaning up, we'll take care of your family's things as well."

An Songyu's family has spare keys to several houses, one for his two brothers who often stay in the village, and one for their parents.

I really need to help deal with the things inside a few houses.

Even without An Songyu's family, they could handle it directly.

But when An Songyu heard her uncle say that, she became even more curious:

"Uncle, has something happened in the village?"

An Jianmin looked at his niece like this and found himself at a loss for words.

But think about all the trouble that happened in Lin Village.

It's better to just say it directly, so that these children can be wary.

"Our village is alright."

"After all, most of the people in the village are surnamed Jiang, and the brigade leader and the accountant are very prestigious and can keep people in line."

"But all sorts of things happen in the neighboring Lin Village."

"Besides dragging things out every day and negotiating with the demolition office."

"Everyone is doing it quietly."

"In the past two years, Lin Village has built almost everything that could be built in order to rent houses to the new district."

"This time, there aren't many additions being built by various companies."

“But for a family like yours, building a chicken coop and duck pen is just a small trick.”

"They're doing renovations at home behind closed doors!"

As the first company in Jiangcun to conduct the survey, An Songyu was naturally well aware of the compensation for both renovated and unrenovated properties.

"But these are only for external audiences."

“In their village, every household has its own lively atmosphere.”

"Every family is arguing about dividing up assets, houses, and money."

"But I heard that in their village, no one is willing to register yet?" An Songyu asked doubtfully.

She recalled that just two days ago, some people in Jiangcun were gossiping, saying that their village committee was not doing anything.

In Jiangcun, not to mention their family, the village committee supported the demolition office's work almost immediately.

All the households in the village committee have been registered, without exception.

But in Lin Village, not only the villagers, but even the village committee has not taken any action.

"Of course no one wants to register this, but it doesn't affect the division of family property, housing, or money!" An Jianmin said with a hint of disdain.

"Besides that, there are also couples breaking up, married couples getting divorced, and couples finding each other attractive again."

“There are also daughters who have been married for decades coming home to cause trouble.”

"In short, since the demolition notice was issued, there has been almost no peace and quiet in Lin Village."

"I heard that if they keep making a scene, the police are going to station officers in their village!"

"Even the police were alerted?" An Songyu stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

“It’s not that even the police have been alerted, but rather that they can’t go a day without alerting the police. Now they’re practically stationed directly at their posts.” At this point, An Jianmin no longer hesitated.

He lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the fighting over there is nonstop every day."

"The bets were getting bigger and bigger."

"And then there are those who bet on horse racing and Mark Six, they can spend a hundred or two hundred dollars at a time."

"And then there are all sorts of people involved in gambling and investing!"

"In short, it's so wonderful that I could talk about it for three days and three nights!"

"This is simply... the demolition contract hasn't even been signed yet, and we've almost emptied our savings."

As the conversation drew to a close, An Jianmin became increasingly emotional.

It's clear that the atmosphere in Jiangcun is also being affected.

Especially after these families received their demolition compensation yesterday.

Those who called, those who were invited by acquaintances, there were no shortage of people.

Young people have even less self-control.

An Jianmin naturally hoped they would stay as far apart as possible.

An Songyu listened, swallowing hard.

To be honest, An Songyu didn't know if such a thing had actually happened back then.

Because their family even gave up their homestead in the village.

Later, the village was demolished.

Whether it's their family or their relatives, everyone feels this is a scar.

So when they get together, they rarely mention these things about the village.

Seeing that An Songyu was lost in thought, An Jianmin felt that he must have absorbed a lot of what he had heard.

So he gave An Songyu a few more instructions before letting her go to find the others.

The village did indeed turn out exactly as An Songyu had predicted.

Most people went to see other people's measurements.

Even Jiang Shanshan was called back by her family.

However, it wasn't related to their family at all.

An Jianmin just told An Songyu that the new silkworm house has not been completely built yet.

Grandpa and Grandma An are still in the silkworm house here.

As for Uncle An and Fourth Uncle An...

Uncle An and his wife are busy tidying up their orchard, vegetable garden, and their agritainment business today.

Uncle An rushed home last night.

Their second child is still in high school this year, and the couple has been so busy lately that they haven't had much time to take care of him.

The matter in Jiangcun has come to a temporary end.

They can also devote more energy to their home and children.

When An Songyu arrived at her aunt's house, she saw her picking green beans in the yard.

To make it easier for guests to pick fruit and to serve them.

Many people in Jiangcun have vegetable gardens that are quite large.

Recently, due to the demolition and relocation issue, no one has been inviting guests.

The vegetables in this yard keep coming one crop after another.

While taking a basket to help her aunt with chores, An Songyu asked them about their trip to Liangdi yesterday.

Yuan Qionghua first asked her niece why she had returned to the village today.

I heard they came to the village to check on the situation and ask about the results of their trip to Liangdi yesterday.

Yuan Qionghua also gave An Songyu some instructions first:

"There's nothing interesting to see in the village!"

"If you can avoid going back to the village recently, then you should."

"Your family is just moving. Your parents will definitely bring you back during the holidays."

"They're just too busy. Just give us a call and tell us how to handle it."

“There’s nothing to see here?” An Songyu shook her head with amusement: “Even the chickens in the yard and the ducks in the orchard have been dealt with.”

"But there are still some fruits left in the orchard."

"The silkworm rearing area hasn't been moved either."

"And the things in the room also need to be tidied up first."

“Aunt, you all live in Jiang Village, but you have more housework to do than we do.”

"They've given us a deadline to move out, where are they going to find the time to handle things for our family?"

"Do you need to worry about the fruit? Your uncle's family has already arranged everything according to their needs." Yuan Qionghua rolled her eyes at her niece.

"As for the things in your building... your two uncles and I have already discussed it and will deal with them together when the time comes."

"As for the silkworm rearing, your grandparents know more about it than you do, and they care about it more than you do."

"You should just stay in the city for now!"

Seeing that her aunt was truly determined, An Songyu decided not to bring up the matter again for the time being.
