In the initial phase of the demolition and relocation of 113 households in Meilin Village, the majority of the people were unwilling to relocate. Wang Yongde and his group were among them, and because they had connections and backgrounds, people would frequently come to ask for their opinions.

These few households have a somewhat detached attitude among the households whose land was requisitioned and demolished in the village.

But by now, the other 108 households have already signed demolition contracts, so they are the minority, and everyone knows they have connections.

They are waiting to receive more compensation.

At this point, people started to worry about unfairness rather than scarcity. They all knew that the others were waiting for more money, but those who had signed contracts earlier had not received more compensation, so people became uncomfortable with them.

If you run into them, they'll speak in a sarcastic tone, saying things like, "Our family doesn't have connections like yours, we dare not delay any longer..." and so on.

As for the villagers who refused to relocate, they were even more resentful, feeling that these holdouts were hindering the village's development. After all, they weren't involved in the demolition or land acquisition, and they didn't even have the opportunity to do so. Yet, Wang Yongde and others were still greedy and unwilling to accept the demolition and land acquisition.

These five households were already in a bad situation in the village, so the idea of ​​them signing up for the second round of the project was even more absurd. Li Xiuyuan hadn't specifically instructed them to do so, but when they signed up, none of the village officials dared to accept their applications.

Are you kidding me? They're resisting the demolition policy and unwilling to relocate, yet they want to participate in the second phase of the project and make money from it? How is that possible?

Who would dare to hire them?

Therefore, the longer they delay, the more uncertain they feel.

It's even more difficult now that the whole village is actively preparing for the second phase of the project and everyone is eager to get things done.

With only a week left before the start of the second phase of the project, they couldn't sit still any longer and all came to Wang Yongde. Wang Yongde offered some reassuring words, which sounded very nice, but everyone was still uncertain.

Seeing that there was no other way, Wang Yongde could only say, "Don't worry, if this planning map is to be modified, it will definitely have to go through the town and be reported to the county. It's not a simple matter."

Besides, Li Xiuyuan's planning map has been submitted to the county government. How can he explain changing it so easily to his superiors? So please be patient and wait. Once construction starts, Li Xiuyuan will contact us again to discuss a reasonable compensation offer.”

Wang Yongde's certainty stemmed mainly from his visit to his cousin Wang Zhixing over the weekend, where he obtained confirmation from him.

Seeing Wang Yongde's unwavering resolve, the others had no other choice but to nod in agreement. At this point, they had no way out and could only grit their teeth and follow Wang Yongde.

Meanwhile, after the town's central district opened for work on Monday, the town's discipline inspection commission received a letter of complaint against Wang Zhixing. Ma Tao read it and saw that it was a complaint that Wang Zhixing had instructed his cousin, Wang Yongde, to resist the demolition policy of Meilin New Village.

The letter of complaint was written by a large number of construction companies, but it did not explicitly state that five households, including Wang Yongde, from Meilin Village were obstructing construction, resisting demolition, and delaying the project's progress.
