As early as several decades ago, the land in the hands of the villagers was divided once.
According to national regulations, the use rights of these lands are divided every 30 years. Now that there are still several years before the redivision, how could everyone be willing?
Especially since the land has to be distributed to other people whom we don’t know.
The villagers all pursed their lips and said nothing, but their eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, without saying anything else, and waved to the two large military trucks behind. The soldiers who were originally standing on the large military truck jumped down from the back of the truck in an orderly manner with guns in hand, and stood behind the middle-aged man in unison, staring at all the villagers with a fierce look in their eyes.
Qin Suyun frowned, secretly alert, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and the expression on her face was extremely ugly. It seemed that the group of people in front of her were indeed planning to use force against them.
The villagers were also frightened by the soldiers who were staring at them with murderous eyes. Several of the timid ones even hugged each other, their eyes wide open in fear and their faces pale. They tightly grasped the shoulder poles and baskets in their hands, hoping that these things would give them some support.
But how can these shoulder poles and baskets be as terrifying as the power of guns and ammunition?
"How can you do this? This is a society ruled by law. We haven't done anything wrong. Why do you treat us like this?" The man was frightened by the group of soldiers with guns in front of him and broke out in a sweat. However, he was a man who refused to admit defeat and he stubbornly stiffened his neck and continued to speak.
The middle-aged man frowned impatiently, his already serious expression becoming even uglier. He stopped talking to the man in front of him and turned to look at Zhao Xingguo beside him. He said word by word, "Village Chief Zhao, I've given you time to think along the way. I even left time for you to go back and discuss this matter. From the time we first met to now, it's been at least four or five hours. I wonder what you think, Village Chief Zhao?"
As the middle-aged man finished speaking, the sound of guns being loaded followed!
“Crack! Crack! —!”
The soldiers behind the other side marched in unison and were well-trained. Even the movements of loading their guns were exactly the same.
If this scene happened at a military parade in previous years, everyone would naturally watch it with interest and even applaud.
But now, whether it was Qin Suyun or the other people around her, their faces looked so ugly that they seemed like water was about to drip out, and they couldn't maintain any good mood at all.
Everyone looked at this group of people as if they were facing the robbers led by Li Yuan before. They were even more frightened than when they faced the robbers, and a dense layer of sweat broke out on their palms.
"Director Xu, let's talk it over. What are you doing?!" When Meng Changlong saw that the other party had loaded guns, his face immediately changed and he spoke out to stop them.
"Yes, Director Xu, didn't you say before that you would give us time to consider it? But I haven't discussed it with the villagers yet! You should at least leave half a day for the people in our village to discuss this matter." Zhao Xingguo hurriedly stepped forward, his face not looking good.
It was indeed almost four hours from the time they met on the road to the time they met in person, but more than three of these four hours were spent on the road. How could the other party include the time spent on the road in this count?
Director Xu and his group were encountered by Zhao Xingguo and his companions on their way back. They had a huge convoy of more than a dozen trucks, which were loaded with soldiers and ordinary people. Zhao Xingguo originally thought that they were taking people to a temporary base and were passing by them on the way. Unexpectedly, after the group separated halfway, they actually said that they wanted to distribute the ordinary people from Yunhai City on the car to each village according to the number of people and land area in each village!
This made Zhao Xingguo and his group furious on their way back!
If the other party had not been using uniform military trucks and had not been followed by so many armed soldiers, they would hardly have believed that this act of directly placing people in their village without regard for the wishes of others was a decision made from above.
There wasn't much land in the village to begin with, and with the natural disasters, they had nothing to eat in the second half of last year. In a remote village like theirs, most people rely on the weather and the land for their livelihood. Now that natural disasters continue, these people are actually trying to force other people in to exploit the land on which they depend for survival. Isn't this asking for their lives?
Especially those families with many elderly people and children, whose sons and daughters-in-law are working outside and have not returned yet, and who can only rely on the fields to make a living.
"Whether the people in your village discuss it or not, whether they agree or not, there's only one outcome! They stay here... If you agree, everyone will be happy."
"If you don't agree, then I'll have no choice but to order my men to use force until you agree!" Director Xu completely ignored what Zhao Xingguo and Meng Changlong said. Instead, he turned his head and sternly said to Meng Changlong, "Meng Changlong, as the person in charge of the No. 5 Military Base in Yunhai City, you should follow the instructions and assist us in our work instead of standing here and talking nonsense to me!"
Meng Changlong frowned, "But..." The villagers might find it hard to accept...
"There's nothing to worry about!" Director Xu waved his hand, interrupting what Meng Changlong was about to say. "The instructions from above are for everyone's good. Sometimes extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! We are in an extraordinary period now, and sacrificing a few for the sake of the majority is necessary. What's more, now we are just asking everyone to help each other. After the disaster is over and the city is rebuilt, these people will return to their original cities, so you don't have to worry about them staying here forever. Do you think that one day after you suffer a disaster, others will be just as indifferent and ignore you completely?"
Being threatened and oppressed by the other party, everyone in Wanxi Village, whether it was Zhao Xingguo or the original middle-aged man, stopped talking, but their faces were still extremely ugly.
The other party told them so much, but this time's high temperature, earthquake and snow disaster are simply not comparable to the previous natural disasters!
In the past, when an earthquake struck one place, other unaffected areas would naturally provide support and help. But now they themselves are overwhelmed, so how can they care about others?
But facing the row of black gun muzzles opposite them, they really couldn't utter a word.
Qin Suyun sighed inwardly. The division of land had appeared in her dreams before, but the events in her dreams were fleeting, without any concrete details. So, although Qin Suyun knew that such an event would occur someday in the future, she had never expected these people to be so powerful.
There was almost no power to resist, and the matter was settled.
Before all the supplies on the four vehicles were unloaded, Zhao Xingguo returned to the village with more than a hundred ragged and haggard-looking people. To be honest, he felt a little complicated and he didn't even know how to talk to other villagers.
Director Xu and his group followed Zhao Xingguo into the village. Without waiting for Zhao Xingguo to tell them how to arrange this group of people, they took his subordinates and left Wanxi Village directly, then turned around to see off the others.
Before leaving, Director Xu asked Meng Changlong and his team whether they were willing to leave with them and help them. However, Meng Changlong directly shook his head and rejected this proposal.
Director Xu in front of him was not Meng Changlong's immediate superior, and since Yue Junhong and his group had expressed their desire to go home, he would be even less likely to agree.
Of course, the most important thing is that Meng Changlong does not want to follow this group of people to do this.
