Chapter 29 Cultivated Land Area

Yan Kui was sleeping soundly when a series of noises came from outside the door.

Village chief Yu Dehua stood at the door and spoke to a thin old man who looked to be in his sixties.

The old man was also a little excited, and his saliva flew everywhere when he spoke.

Yan Kui stretched, put on her shoes, and came out. Seeing the two arguing at the door, she sobered up a bit.

He stepped forward and opened the door. Before she could even speak, the village chief became excited.

“Yan Kui, your family has a piece of land near the village entrance that no one has been farming. But at the beginning of the year, Old Zhang planted some vegetables on your land. Now that government officials are coming to count the cultivated land area of ​​each family, this old man has included your land in the count!”

"You'd better come with me to the village committee right away, or Old Zhang will take over your land!"

The village chief became more and more excited as he spoke, and the skinny old man beside him even started gesturing with his hands.

"I've been farming that land for so long, and since no one's taken care of it, it should be mine! It's rightfully next to mine anyway. The Yan family doesn't want it, but I do, so what?!"

The old man had an expression that said, "I'm taking it, so what?" Yan Kui understood.

It seems this old man is trying to take advantage of her family. How can she tolerate that?

Yan Kui quickly followed the village chief to the village committee, where a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a blue shirt, and a middle-aged woman wearing a floral dress and slightly curly hair were registering the cultivated land area of ​​each household in turn.

Seeing the village chief arrive with his men, the middle-aged woman took out a form and handed it to Yan Kui, saying, "This is the size of your family's farmland and how it is used."

Then he looked at Grandpa Zhang next to Yan Kui and said, "This old man said that 1.5 mu of land in your family was given to him. If that's true, we'll change the area for both families, and then you can sign."

Before Yan Kui could speak, Grandpa Zhang excitedly exclaimed, "Sign! You can sign! It's mine to begin with!"

"Sign what? Who said it was given to you? This land belongs to the Yan family, why should I give it to you?!"

Yan Kui's voice was also quite loud as she shouted at Grandpa Zhang.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Zhang realized the girl was not easy to deal with, and retorted, "I've already planted all those vegetables, whose aren't mine! Does anyone in your family grow them?!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Kui thought, "Huh? This old man is going to use force against me, isn't he?"

Looking at the staff member, he said forcefully, "You planted vegetables on my family's land without my family's permission. Do you know that you've broken the law, old man?"

Yan Kui glanced at the old man Zhang from head to toe: "Either I treat this as my home being rented to you, and you pay the rent!"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang jumped up in a panic: "What rent! Do you even know the rules of our village, young lady?!"

"What rules? I only talk about the law."

Old Zhang was spitting as he spoke, muttering something unintelligible to Yan Kui, but she knew it wasn't anything good.

He added, "It's fine if you don't want to hand it over, but you have to harvest your vegetables as soon as they're ripe and return my land to me, or I'll call the police."

An old man who had lived honestly in the mountains for decades and had basically never had any contact with the outside world had an innate sense of awe for the police.

He suddenly fell silent.

Seeing that Old Zhang was silent, the village chief immediately said to the staff, "The farmland area doesn't need to be changed. Just keep it as it was before, whatever it is."

After saying that, he looked at Old Man Zhang and said, "Once the vegetables in the field are ripe, Old Man Zhang, don't touch the Yan family's land."

Yan Kui took the form, confirmed the area with the village chief, and then checked the previous data on the staff's computer.

After confirming that it was the same, he casually signed the name "Yan Kui".

After finishing her business, Yan Kui slowly walked back from the village committee. Today's incident reminded her that the Yan family only had three or four fen of land in total.

Remembering Yan Sheng's request for her to watch the house for two months...

How about we learn to grow something ourselves?

And then there were all sorts of plump fruits and vegetables in Aunt Song's yard. Yan Kui thought, how fulfilling it would be if she could grow them herself!
