After the officers left, the village chief looked at those people and saw that they were actually grabbing land, and his good expression disappeared.
Meng Shuqiu drove the cattle to help Xiu'er and her daughter enclose a nice piece of land next to Meng's house.
Next to it is Wang Liangli's house, and then is Doctor Zhou's house.
After the four families had fenced off their land, Mr. Meng asked Doctor Zhou to come to the village chief. He wanted to introduce himself to him and get to know him better, as they would all be from the same village from now on.
As a result, as soon as Mr. Meng and Doctor Zhou opened their mouths, the village chief interrupted them.
I'm not even interested in hearing their names.
Just pointing to the land they had just enclosed.
“The land you have enclosed is cultivated by my family and my brother’s family.
Go somewhere else and start over."
【impossible!】
Meng Shuyan’s first reaction was that it was impossible.
Others also thought that the village chief was talking nonsense.
This place is not big, but it is not small either. It is at least about a hundred acres.
Just relying on those two families, even if all their children work in the fields together, they can't grow so much, right?
There were less than 20 people in the two families, including five children under the age of six or seven.
When they looked at the land again, they could see that most of it was barren.
The mountains they enclosed were all wasteland, with no signs of cultivation.
The four families looked at each other, and Xiu'er and her daughter obeyed the Meng family in everything.
Wang Liangli and his wife also obeyed the Meng family.
Although Doctor Zhou had never farmed before, he knew that the village chief was bluffing.
Mr. Meng looked at the village chief without introducing himself.
“Where is the rest of the land in the village?
If that’s the case, why didn’t you tell me when the officers were here?
And brought us here?"
No one is stupid.
The village chief said with a sullen face, “The land here belongs to me and my brother.
If you want to plant, you can plant whatever you want on the mountain."
The village chief said something and turned around to go home, no longer paying attention to these people.
"well?"
"Forget it, Dad. It's getting late, let's first look for a place to stay tonight.
Anyway, we have to go to town tomorrow, so we can invite Officer Li over and have him preside over the event for us."
Meng Shijie saw that the village chief was determined not to give them good land.
It's definitely useless to say anything now.
The four families thought so too.
When you first arrive, it is inevitable that you will be excluded.
But aren't those two families taking themselves too seriously?
Considering that there are twenty households in the village, it is understandable that they are being excluded.
There are only two families in total, and you want to exclude them?
Besides, they are now members of Sanshan Village. Don’t we see who will exclude whom in the future?
The four families, three ox carts and two horse carts entered the village again.
The two little boys of the Yang family, aged five or six, followed behind to watch the fun.
Children all like to watch ox carts, but they have hardly ever seen a horse carriage.
Even though the carriages of the Meng and Zhou families were not that good, they were still very good and expensive belongings in the eyes of these people.
The village chief's house and his brother's house are close to the village entrance, in the best location, with blue brick and tile roofs and yards.
There are still many adobe and thatched houses in the inner part of the village.
Some of the roofs are still there, while others have collapsed and only the foundation remains.
"We'll all look for something that's doable. It would be great if we could fix it up and make it habitable."
Everyone went to check separately.
Two of them were still habitable. They were just about to spend the night there when the village chief and his brother arrived again.
“These two houses belong to our family.”
The village chief was actually afraid that these people would get angry and beat them directly, so he brought all the house deeds.
Meng Shijie and his friends looked out and saw that these two mud houses were still habitable and were indeed owned by someone else.
They had nothing to say.
“Are there any other houses that belong to you?
It would be better for the village chief to explain it clearly all at once."
"there is none left."
After saying this, the village chief turned and left.
"It's okay, we'll go to town tomorrow to find someone to build a house.
Fortunately, we still have tarpaulin tents. We can find a roofless house and stay there for one night and talk about it tomorrow.
I think we still need to have a night watch.”
Everyone agreed with Meng Shijie's proposal.
Especially Xiu'er and her daughter.
The two of them didn't even have much luggage, just a few clothes, but they did have some money.
Xiuer stole it from her grandmother in the middle of the night last night.
In fact, she wanted to take back the portion that belonged to her and her mother, a total of ten taels.
"How about we all eat together tonight, and the men go out and collect some more firewood."
This was said by the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family.
Seeing that Xiu'er and her daughter have nothing now, the Meng family naturally has no objection.
Wang Liangli and his wife had even less objection.
Xiuer's mother's eyes instantly turned red, "Xiuer and I will do more work, thank you!"
Xiu'er was strong enough not to cry, but she deeply remembered the kindness these people had shown her and her mother.
From now on, whenever she has the ability to help them, she will definitely do so!
"Xiu'er's mother, let's not talk about those things. We are from the same place, so we should stick together when we are outside.
If anyone has any difficulties, we will discuss it together and help if we can.
I believe that if we have any problems, you will definitely not stand idly by if you can help us."
Ji patted Xiu'er's mother's shoulder to comfort her.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Let's get through this together, and there will be good times ahead."
"Uh-huh!
I'll go get some firewood too."
Seeing that everyone was so nice, Xiu'er's mother couldn't help crying, so she quickly found an excuse to leave so that no one could see her.
