Geng Zhenhai said, "Don't worry. Even if the county magistrate's men come, or even if the king of heaven comes, I will not change my words."
Mr. Zhang snorted coldly: "Poor people have no other problems except talking too hard. After a few beatings, they will scream like ghosts and howl like wolves, and they will not dare to resist anymore.
Okay, you and your family can discuss it, I’m going back now.”
He turned around and walked a few steps, then stopped and looked at Qin Nian: "Miss Qin, are you really not going to return the land to me?"
A chill rose from Qin Nian's eyes: "Mr. Zhang, did I not explain clearly or did you not understand?
Let me say it again, I am not borrowing your land, nor am I stealing or robbing it, I bought it, so how can I return it to you?
If you want to go to the county government to file a complaint, then go ahead. But I have a word for Mr. Zhang: forced buying or selling will never succeed.
Being too domineering will shorten your life."
Qin Nian was so angry that he wanted to kill.
With arrogance on his face and contempt in his eyes, Mr. Zhang walked in square steps to his carriage which was parked on the road.
Before leaving, he glanced at Qin Nian from the car window, as if reminding Qin Nian: It’s not too late if you agree to return the land to me now.
Qin Nian didn't even look at him. The family gathered around the dinner table to discuss a solution.
Qin Nian's face was serious. She knew that things were difficult to handle:
“Mr. Zhang’s son is an official in the capital, so the county magistrate is likely to help him.
I bought the land, and the title deed is mine. When the bailiffs come, I will go and answer the lawsuit."
"no."
Geng Feng immediately objected: "Xiao Nian, how can I let you go? I will go!"
Geng Zhenhai also said: "We can't let Xiao Nian go."
"You heard me."
Qin Nian looked at these simple and innocent people and said, "My name is on the deed, so I have to go.
You guys continue to work at home and don’t worry about me.”
Geng Feng said: "How can you, a little girl, not be worried when going to a place like that?
I'll go with you, so you can take care of me if anything happens."
Geng Zhenhai, Ye Meizi, Geng Tian and Geng Di all agreed: "Yes, I'll go with you."
Qin Nian shook his head gently: "Listen to me. The county magistrate's court will not allow people who have nothing to do with the case to enter.
Especially in cases like this where the right and wrong are obvious.
You guys continue to work at home, there is one thing I can assure you, no one can hurt me."
The afternoon passed peacefully without incident.
Ye Meizi felt a little hopeful: "Xiao Nian, Mr. Zhang is probably here to scare us.
If we are afraid, his scheme will succeed. If we are not afraid, he will be helpless.
The deed is written in black and white, so it is impossible to go back on your word."
Qin Nian shook his head: "He came to ask for the land because he saw how much money we made. He won't just let it go like this."
Geng Feng's eyes turned red with anxiety: "If you go too far, I will kill the dog magistrate."
Geng Tian and Geng Di also agreed: "If they don't give us a way to live, we will never let them live."
It is not surprising that young people full of vigor and vitality have such thoughts.
Qin Nian looked at Geng Zhenhai and Ye Meizi and told them, "Uncle Geng and Aunt Geng, you must persuade these three.
Don't do anything stupid, things are not as bad as you think.
Anyway, if there is really no other way out, I will plan a solution and we will act according to the plan."
Geng Zhenhai and Ye Meizi both trusted Qin Nian and nodded in agreement.
That night, Qin Nian told Mrs. Li about Mr. Zhang's request for the land, and repeatedly reminded her not to panic and to stay calm no matter what happened.
"Grandma, I told you that no one in this world can hurt me. Just remember this."
Mrs. Li’s anger almost set the new house on fire:
"How could Mr. Zhang, who is already old, do such an inhuman thing? This is a sin for future generations.
If you really push him to the limit, he will die if he can't live, so you can drag him to die with you and go to the King of Hell to discuss right and wrong."
Qin Nian shook his head: "There is no fairness in this world. In fact, there is power in any world and any place.
There may be some in hell, so solve the problem wherever you encounter it."
She repeated her instructions for a long time before the grandparents and grandchildren went to sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, Qin Nian asked Mrs. Li to calm down and do what she needed to do.
The second batch of chicks will hatch soon and need human intervention.
She and Ye Meizi walked towards their fields.
"Aunt Geng, it's sixteen miles from Dawa Village to our land. It's OK in the summer, but it's too tiring to walk back and forth in the winter.
Once Mr. Zhang’s matter is settled, we can just build two houses on the edge of the land and live there instead of going home.
Anyway, after the stew restaurant opens, people will be even more indispensable there.”
Ye Meizi seemed a little uneasy: "Let's talk about it after this is over."
When they arrived, Ye Meizi went into the greenhouse to make breakfast.
The Geng family's uncles and aunts worked all morning on empty stomachs.
Qin Nian was picking strawberries in the field with a basket in hand when a group of police officers dressed in black arrived. The first one asked coldly, "Who is Qin Nian?"
Qin Nian stood up and said, "I am."
"Mr. Zhang is suing you for occupying his land. The county magistrate has ordered me to summon you. Come with us."
Qin Nian put down the basket in his hand and walked out of the field calmly.
"Xiao Nian, I'll go with you."
Geng Feng ran over, grabbed Qin Nian's hand, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I will go with you, and we will share the wind and rain together."
The constable pointed the thick-backed machete in his hand at Geng Feng and said, "The county magistrate didn't summon you. Get out of the way and don't make things difficult for yourself."
Qin Nian frowned slightly: "Geng Feng, what did I tell you yesterday? It's of no use what you are doing.
Learn from my grandmother, no matter what, you should be steady. Do as I say and work at home.
The sky hasn't fallen yet, why are you panicking? "
After saying that, Qin Nian looked at the constable Xi and said, "Let's go. I'll go with you."
She was in front, and the constable was following behind, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Qin Nian sneered. If she wants to run, can you stop her?
How could Geng Feng continue to work? No one could work anymore.
But someone has to watch this land at all times, otherwise it will be snatched up.
After some discussion, Geng Feng and Geng Zhenhai followed to the county government office, but since they were not allowed in, they just listened outside.
Especially since they, father and son, went to buy the land with Qin Nian together, so maybe they could help Qin Nian.
It’s only two miles from here to the east gate of the county town, and we arrived there quickly.
Arriving at the county government office and entering the court, Qin Nian looked up.
Above the court, there was a large plaque that read "A Clear Mirror Hangs High." On both sides of the court, there were signs that read "Silence" and "Avoid."
The county magistrate sat upright in the center of the court, with many yamen runners in navy blue robes standing on both sides. They all wore red and black hats and held water and fire sticks in their hands.
Mr. Zhang was already there, standing on the right side of the court.
When the yamen runners saw Qin Nian coming in, they all shouted, "Powerful!"
First, maximize the deterrence.
