Chapter 63: Field Turbulence
Hearing the system's successful sowing sound, Shen Jinan raised the corners of his lips, and his breathing gradually stabilized.
The man beside her was looking at her with his head tilted, tenderness in his eyes.
After looking at her for a long time, he fell asleep with a smile.
The open space where the seeds were planted looked no different from before. After waking up, Shen Jinan immediately found the system and came to the open space.
"Is it here?" Shen Jinan's eyes were full of doubt.
Could this be a fake product?
“The system doesn’t accept questioning.”
Come to think of it, apart from that almost invisible fragment of the detoxification pill, it has indeed never harmed itself.
"Is this the place?" she asked again.
He was holding a small stick that he had picked up from somewhere and was gesturing on the ground.
"A little to the left."
Shen Jinan responded and moved a little to the left.
"A little bit up and to the right."
Shen Jinan continued to move.
By the time the vegetable plot was drawn and the various crops were marked, an hour had already passed.
Her forehead was also covered with crystal sweat, and she looked like a fairy in the sunlight.
Gu Yanqing leaned against the door frame and looked at her with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, not knowing what she wanted to do.
"Doctor Shen, are you home?"
Li Chunhua's voice was getting closer and closer, sounding a little anxious.
"What's going on?"
Throwing down the small stick in his hand, Shen Jinan hurried out. There were few pedestrians in the village. Only Li Chunhua was walking towards him in a panic with hurried steps.
"The village chief called everyone over to discuss the wasteland issue. I didn't see you, so I guess you were so busy that you forgot."
Li Chunhua took a breath, holding her waist with her hands, and said breathlessly: "Hurry up and inform your man, it's about to start!"
"Hey! I'm coming!" Shen Jinan was afraid of wasting her time and urged, "You go first, I'll be there soon."
This is a serious matter that concerns whether she will have food to eat in the future, so Li Chunhua dare not be careless.
As soon as the notice arrived, she began to rush back, turning back and shouting from time to time: "Hurry up and don't miss the time."
Looking at her receding back, Shen Jinan's expression gradually turned cold.
The whole village gathered to discuss the land issue, but her family didn't know about it. This was somewhat unreasonable.
She thought thoughtfully, it seemed that some people were deliberately making trouble.
By the time the family of four arrived, the village chief had already walked onto the platform.
There was a gorgeous carriage parked next to the village chief, and a servant was waiting outside quietly without looking around.
Li Chunhua saw Shen Jinan was obviously relieved.
"You're finally here."
Looking at the carriage not far away, Shen Jinan was curious and couldn't help asking: "Who is that important person?"
I don’t know his identity, but the scene is certainly grand.
After taking a look over there, Li Chunhua and the others quickly looked away.
He moved closer to Shen Jinan and lowered his voice before daring to speak: “I heard that he is the one who manages the land, and the village chief is very respectful when he sees him.”
The people who control the land? Doesn't that mean they are the power in the southeast?
I didn't expect to meet you so soon.
As his thoughts raced, the village chief raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"We will all be rooted in Chenjia Village for the rest of our lives. Without land to rely on, we will surely feel uneasy. We have gathered everyone here today to solve this problem."
When talking about the basis of survival, the village chief's expression became a little serious.
People nodded seriously. They had been anxious since they came here, but now that the land issue was mentioned, they felt a little relieved.
"Village Chief, we won't have to spend money to buy this land now, right?"
When one person started asking a question, the others pricked up their ears to listen.
"Village Chief, you know our current situation. We can't even afford food and clothing, so where will we get the money to buy land?"
The village chief raised his hand again, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Don't worry about these problems, Lady Hong has already taken care of them for everyone."
"Red Lady?" Someone asked, who is this?
The village chief looked at the carriage and found that the servant and the people inside did not move, so he could only continue speaking.
"All the land in our village belongs to Lady Hong. She is willing to rent it out to everyone. All you have to do is pay the rent on time."
Chenjia Village has always been like this, and the village chief didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he looked happy and said, "When the time comes, everyone will have enough money, and then we can buy some land."
This matchmaker is quite nice!
"Village chief, I want to rent ten acres!"
Laughter suddenly rang out from the crowd, and someone mocked him: "Ten acres, with your small body, can you cultivate ten acres of land?"
"Why not! We can put our fingerprints on the deed now."
People are now immersed in the joy of owning land, with smiles on their faces.
Something's wrong. If there were really such a good deal, there wouldn't be so much wasteland left vacant.
Shen Jinan said nothing, observing calmly.
Someone raised a question, which woke the dreamer up.
"Village Chief, may I ask how much rent is required?"
"Yes, village chief, how much rent do I need to pay?"
Hearing this, Li Chunhua and the others clenched their collars tightly. They were different from those refugees. They were all people who used to be in charge of the farm, so they knew the twists and turns involved.
I’m afraid there’s something fishy about the land rent!
"This deed has everything written on it."
The village chief pulled out a stack of deeds from his sleeve and waved them, "Anyone who wants to rent land can come get one from me and put their fingerprints on it later."
All of a sudden, everyone rushed over and started scrambling for it.
"Everyone has a chance! Don't fight over it!" The village chief shouted angrily, and people immediately became much more restrained.
Someone stuffed a deed into Shen Jinan's hand. She held the thin paper in front of her and read it line by line.
I saw that behind the rent it was written: 70% of the land harvest must be paid to Hongniangzi.
Seventy percent!
Those who could recognize the words were so shocked that they were speechless.
Seventy percent is more than half of the land's harvest. If some of it is handed over to the government, there will be nothing left in one's hands.
"The rent is too high!" Someone couldn't help but speak out his true feelings.
"If you don't want to rent, no one is forcing you."
A pleasant voice sounded, like a silver bell.
Everyone looked up and saw a woman in red walking towards them.
Seeing this, the village chief hurried forward, bowed his head, and respectfully called out, "Red Lady."
"Why is the rent so high? Don't you want to leave us a way out?"
Some people could not accept this condition and raised it on the spot.
But the woman blinked innocently and said softly, "How could that be? I hope everyone can have a good harvest."
After all, this benefit is directly linked to her.
"In my opinion, it's better not to plant this land!"
Li Chunhua flicked her sleeves, not wanting to waste time here.
Thinking about their previous farms, the most excessive rent was only 50%, and they didn’t have to pay rent to the government. But in this area, it is as high as 70%. They really don’t care about the people.
The government actually allowed these people to be so presumptuous!
It turns out that somewhere they don’t know, there are people who are really suffering like this!
But... now they are the ones who suffer...
