at the same time.

Lu County, Inner Mongolia Province, a thousand miles away.

An argument is breaking out in the fields.

"You've all been here for several days!"

"We contracted this vegetable plot a long time ago, why can't we cultivate it! Will you take responsibility if we miss the crucial planting time?"

"We're going to expose you unreasonable village officials online!"

The farmers Peng Jianlin and his wife, who were in charge of developing the farmland, argued with the village leaders who came to obstruct the cultivation.

“I don’t care what you’re saying. The higher-ups told me to make money, so I’m in charge of making money.”

"If you don't pay, don't even think about farming! Go ahead and expose us wherever you want!"

A crew-cut man, responsible for preventing farmers from planting, shouted arrogantly and recklessly at the farmer's camera.

The man with the crew cut is Ma Ronglian, the deputy village head of this village.

Beside the farmer couple.

Peng Zhengjie, the son who had just graduated from agricultural and forestry university, held up his phone and angrily filmed the other party's brutal law enforcement.

It is currently the planting season for local specialty vegetables, such as crabapple beans and bok choy.

This deputy village chief with a crew cut led a group of people.

They've been rudely blocking my vegetable garden for several days now.

Furthermore, according to the weather forecast, a storm is expected to arrive in a couple of days.

If sowing cannot be completed in the next two days, agricultural machinery will be even less able to work in the fields.

It is highly likely that the best time to sow will be missed, resulting in huge losses.

Peng Zhengjie's family relies on the income from this contracted vegetable plot for their livelihood.

Now the family's money has all been used to buy fertilizers, seeds, and rent machinery and equipment.

The village leaders suddenly came out again and demanded a large sum of money inexplicably paid for farmland.

They also threatened that those who failed to pay the outstanding fees would not be allowed to farm.

Peng Jianlin and his wife pleaded that they should finish planting the land first and then find a way to pay the so-called "farm fee".

But the deputy village chief still refused outright.

He insisted that he would only allow farmers to sow seeds if he saw money in the fields.

The machinery and equipment have already been rented, and every day of delay costs a day's rental fee.

Even if I go to apply for a loan and pay the money now, it will take at least a week.

By then, planting will have been delayed long ago.

But no matter how much they tried to reason with him, Deputy Village Chief Ma Ronglian remained adamant.

They are not allowed to work in the fields without being paid.

Even if Peng Jianlin's family suffers huge losses, it has nothing to do with him.

Facing powerful village leaders.

Peng Jianlin, a farmer who had spent his entire life cultivating the land, was so anxious he was jumping up and down.

I wish I could just take action against these unreasonable village leaders.

But how could he possibly defeat more than a dozen strong men on the scene?

"What right do you have to stop us?"

"I am a college graduate who returned to my hometown to work. According to relevant regulations, college graduates are entitled to special preferential policies!"

"What you are doing is a violation of policies and regulations!"

"I'm going to file a complaint against you in the township!"

Seeing his parents pleading no matter what.

The deputy village chief still looked heartless, Peng Zhengjie shouted angrily.

"So what if I don't understand the law?"

"To tell you the truth, it was the mayor who gave the order. Go ahead and sue him in court!"

Deputy village chief Ma Ronglian turned to look at Peng Zhengjie, who was holding up his phone, and glared at him threateningly.

If it weren't for other villagers nearby recording with their phones...

He had already had someone snatch the phone from the college student's hand.

"I'm telling you, I'll have people guarding this place!"

"None of you are allowed to start working on the land until you pay me the full amount!"

After saying this, Ma Ronglian left the people responsible for guarding the vegetable garden behind and swaggered away.

"A bunch of bastards!"

Seeing the village leader's arrogant and unreasonable attitude, Peng Zhengjie was so angry that he was trembling all over.

But I also felt utterly hopeless.

He had already called the higher-level town government department to complain two days ago, but was kicked back to the village to handle it.
