Wu Dahai was anxious. After all, Wu Rende was the village chief, and there would be no good consequences if he went against him.
"Grandpa, we are still relatives. Why do you always blame me for this Wu Chenggong?"
Wu Rende said with a straight face: "I'm talking to you because you deserve it!"
Wu Dahai looked unhappy.
"Wu Dahai, look at what you've done these past two days? We're all from the same village. Why can't we talk things out? Do you think a big fight will solve the problem?"
Zhou Wenxiu curled her lips and said, "Everyone knows that you, Village Chief Wu, don't do good things. If we talk to you in a nice way, won't we be bullied to death?"
Wu Rende was so angry that he almost laughed: "Who said that the land would be given to Chenggong's family? Wasn't it you, Zhou Wenxiu?"
Zhou Wenxiu choked.
"What did you say then? Something like, 'Oh, Chenggong, how can your family be so poor? You've really wronged us children. I just happened to have a few acres of land that we no longer want and were planning to throw away, but since you're so poor, I'll give it to you.' Wasn't that what you said?"
Zhou Wenxiu choked twice.
"When Chenggong and his wife found out, they came to me and told me about it. I also approached you at the time. Did you refuse to take it and just give it to Chenggong? Chenggong also said he would give you money every year, as if you were renting it to them. What did you say? You said your family didn't care about such a small amount of money, just like giving away beggars, and even said you gave the land to them."
Zhou Wenxiu choked three times.
"You said that at the beginning, how dare you go back now? Are you embarrassed?"
Wu Dahai and his wife felt ashamed.
Wu Dahai was busy back then, so it was Zhou Wenxiu who gave the land to other families.
Wu Dahai refused to admit it: "Even if I said that, what does it matter? At that time, my family was rich and had everything we needed. I could have given them the land."
"But it's different now. My family's factory is going through a difficult time and we need money, so Wu Chenggong must return the land to us!"
"That's right!" Zhou Wenxiu also became proud. "When we gave the land to him, it was just a verbal agreement. We didn't sign any transfer contract, so our land is still ours. Wu Chenggong has been cultivating our land for so many years. We are already giving him face by not asking him for money!"
In this matter, Wu Chenggong's family was indeed in the wrong.
What Zhou Wenxiu said was that she might have really said verbally that she wanted to give the land to Wu Chenggong's family, but after all, there was no signed contract and no formal transfer agreement, so on the surface, the land still belonged to Wu Dahai's family.
Even an honest man like Wu Chenggong was so angry that he picked up the shovel from Wu Rende's house and hit Wu Dahai.
"I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!"
It is said that even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered. Wu Dahai and Zhou Wenxiu are so unreasonable that they are pushing people to death.
Wu Dahai and his wife were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they ran away screaming.
Wu Chenggong was about to chase after him, but Wu Rende quickly stopped him.
"Success, come back soon!"
Wu Chenggong came back unwillingly, threw the shovel on the ground and sat down.
"Village chief, how are we going to survive after all this trouble?"
Wu Chenggong's wife also came out, and the couple cried loudly. It was heartbreaking just to hear them.
Lin Yin also came out of the house. She heard the conversation outside just now.
However, because she had some grudges with Zhou Wenxiu, it was not convenient for her to come out at this time, for fear of making things worse.
