Then, Old Mrs. Shen looked relieved that the Qiao family had come to terms with it.
When the Qiao family saw this, they couldn't help but want to rush up and beat the person up.
Is it possible for someone to betray their promise and then try to be cunning?
Old Mrs. Qiao: "We don't want money, we want the three mu of paddy fields that the Shen family owns next to ours by the river."
Upon hearing this, the Shen family members' expressions all changed.
This is their real Achilles' heel, their Achilles' heel.
Almost every household owns a fixed amount of paddy fields, which can be bought and sold among themselves, but almost no one is willing to sell.
This is the guarantee and last resort for farmers.
The three mu of paddy fields belonging to the Shen family were located on higher ground, so they were almost never affected by floods each year. The soil was fertile and the yield was very high, making them a treasure to Old Mrs. Shen.
Unexpectedly, the first thing the Qiao family asked for was these three acres of paddy fields.
They originally thought that if they asked for money, Shi Murou would just give it to them.
But to have land, especially such good land right under her nose, is something Shi Murou can't buy. Even if she could, it would be far away, and it would take a lot of effort to grow crops there.
That's ruthless, absolutely ruthless.
"No way," Old Mrs. Shen said sternly. "The land is the foundation of a farmer's livelihood, its very essence. Why should it be given to your family?"
Da Yong: "Just because your Shen family has wronged our Qiao family, just because you are wrong."
"This matter will never be over until these three acres of paddy fields are reclaimed."
Qiao Zhizhi: "Yes, we only want the land, not the money. This is already being very lenient with you."
Old Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes back, almost bursting with anger.
"Pay back the land! Pay back the land!" The Qiao family raised their hands and shouted together, their voices shaking the roof tiles and startling the birds into flight.
Inspired by them, many villagers also raised their hands and shouted along.
After all, they made money from the mountain thanks to the Qiao family.
"Compensation for the land is impossible, impossible! Don't even dream about it! This is the life of the Shen family, and we'll protect it with our lives!" Old Mrs. Shen said angrily.
The other members of the Shen family were also filled with anxiety.
At this moment, Zhao, the village head, was also disturbed by the commotion and rushed over. After finding out the reason, his expression immediately turned serious.
The Shen family did something inhuman.
They signed the engagement letter back then, but now they're going back on their word. What about the Qiao family?
Seeing that Qiao Xi'er's face was deathly pale and she was in a semi-conscious state, Zhao Lizheng sighed and couldn't bear to look any longer.
"This matter is entirely the fault of your Shen family. The Qiao family has done nothing wrong. You must provide very sincere compensation to give the Qiao family an explanation."
