Chapter 262: Zhanjiazhuang Gets a New Look

To vent their hatred, they went to Zhan's house to do odd jobs and took home almost everything they could use. This was no psychological burden for them, after all, they had been exploited by Zhan Dayou in many ways.

The car that Zhanbaoku owned was a car that no one in the village could drive, and now it had been smashed to pieces by the villagers, turning it into a pile of scrap metal. The villagers had removed all the wheels.

Now, the township has taken the lead in organizing a re-election of the village leadership, and a villager named Shen Yuzhu, a non-resident of the village, has been elected.

Zhan Dayou has been domineering in the village for decades. Now the village leader has finally been replaced. The oppressed villagers feel that the air in the village is a thousand times better, and they no longer have the feeling of being oppressed and unable to breathe.

In order to force the villagers to go along with him, Zhan Dayou used all kinds of means. In addition to organizing his forces to threaten and intimidate, he also made great efforts in terms of homesteads and farmland.

He would refuse to grant housing plots to villagers whose sons were getting married and splitting up the family property. He would also remain silent while others were building houses, only to find fault with them when they were almost finished, and then have his gang members demolish the houses.

There was also the distribution of land. The good land in the village was distributed to their own people, while the rest of the villagers not only received less than the stipulated amount, but also received broken land in the corners, river loops, and mountain crevices that were not suitable for growing crops.

Moreover, more than half of the village's fertile farmland was not distributed to the villagers, but was instead controlled by the powerful. If the villagers wanted to cultivate it, they had to pay a high price, with an annual rent of three to four hundred yuan per mu.

Zhan Dayou claimed that these lands belonged to the village collective, but in fact all the rent he collected went into his own pocket. He might give some dividends to the gang members, but the other villagers did not see a penny.

His style of doing things forced the villagers who refused to commit crimes like him to have no way to survive, forcing them to move away and fend for themselves.

The first thing the new village chief Shen Yuzhu did after taking office was to redistribute the land in the village. After counting the number of farmlands in the village, he divided the quality of the farmlands into grades. After determining the land area allocated to each household according to the number of family members, he determined the approximate proportion of good fields and secondary fields.

Afterwards, a household-by-household drawing of lots was adopted, with one person from each household drawing lots to determine the allocated plots of land.

This was the fairest and most equitable way to divide the land. When villagers working away from home heard about the situation, they rushed back to participate in the drawing of lots. Zhanjiazhuang now had a completely new look, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

Of course, the families of human traffickers are an exception, but it is difficult for them to form a force anymore. In addition, many villagers who work outside have returned home, which has strengthened the power of ordinary villagers. As a result, the families of human traffickers dare not act rashly and can only behave themselves in the village.
