The mayor gave the chief a look that said "leave it to me," then turned to the villagers and said, "Is your village chief here? Call him over."
At the time, they had come solely for Zhuang Sheng and Liu Ruonan, not to conduct an inspection, so they hadn't informed the village chief. The people receiving treatment in the courtyard, upon seeing so many high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals arrive, all stayed to watch the excitement, with no one going out to spread the word.
So, until now, the village chief still doesn't know what kind of important person has come to their village? This is a big event that brings honor to their village!
Someone rushed out excitedly, shouting, "I'm going to ask the village chief."
Chen Guihua was quick to grab the man and pull him back. Because he was caught off guard and was so fast, he was actually pulled over by Chen Guihua. The action was so funny that some people couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Why did you ask the village chief to come?" Chen Guihua roared angrily.
The man got up from the ground, dusted himself off, pointed at Chen Guihua's nose, and said angrily, "Chen Guihua, Chen Guihua, you are rotten to the core! Why did you ask the village chief for help? I must teach you a lesson today!"
"It's okay, we don't need to invite the village chief!" The mayor walked up to Chen Guihua, glared at her, and said calmly, "Since you're so unreasonable, I have a way to deal with you! Aren't you refusing to pay your debt and give the west room to Zhuang Sheng? Then when I get back to town, I'll issue an order to revoke all your family's land rights."
All land rights are taken back?
This punishment was too cruel! Their family had four people, and each person had one mu and three fen of land, so at least they had four mu and nine fen. Although they had to pay the annual grain tax, it was enough for their family to eat, and the remaining grain could be sold for some money, so overall they lived a comfortable life.
But if their land is really confiscated, then their whole family will have nothing to do!
After hearing what the mayor said, Chen Guihua squatted on the ground, slapping her thigh and bursting into tears: "Oh my! This is killing people! They protect each other and bully the common people! I'm going to sue you! I'm going to sue you in the city!"
"Alright! Go ahead and sue me! I'm the mayor, and I approve the plan the mayor has issued today. Even if the village chief doesn't come now, he'll receive a letter from the town tomorrow at the latest."
Chen Guihua was stunned for a moment. The mayor and the mayor were both here, and with them was this old, aging leader. She was practically going to die today! For the sake of those four acres and nine mu of land, she could only compromise!
He jumped up from the ground, took the key to the west room from his bunch of keys, and threw it at Liu Ruonan's feet.
"Alright! You're awesome, you're capable! I'm willing to admit defeat today, and you can just keep the key."
Chen Guihua gnashed her teeth in anger, but she had her own plans in mind. Even if she was given the key to the west room, what would it matter? Without the key to the front door, she probably couldn't get into the house even if she wanted to.
After saying that, Chen Guihua turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute." Liu Ruonan's voice sounded again.
However, Chen Guihua always felt a chill down her spine whenever she heard Liu Ruonan speak. This girl was clearly no longer the submissive, compliant girl she once was. It was as if she had grown up overnight, now having her own opinions and being quite resolute in her actions.
This girl seems to be even more ruthless than before. No matter what she does, she never leaves anyone any leeway. She has to kill everyone! Humph! Even if someone is protecting her, what can she do? One day, she will make this girl suffer a great loss.
Chen Guihua stamped her feet, rolled her eyes fiercely, and her expression was full of impatience.
"What's the matter? If you have something to say, tell me now. If you have to fart, fart now."
"You seem to have forgotten something?" Liu Ruonan said slowly, walked to Chen Guihua and stretched out her hand.
"What else is there? Didn't I give you the key to the west room? I've fulfilled my bet, haven't I? Don't ask for too much from me here, there are so many people guarding it!"
"You gave me the key to the west room, but you didn't give me the key to the front door?"
"Why should I give you the key to the gate?"
"Since the west room belongs to our Zhuang Shengge, then this yard is also part of our Zhuang Shengge, and this gate is also part of our Zhuang Shengge. If you don't give us the key to the gate, how can we go home?"
"Go home? Are you still going to live in our house?"
"No, you are wrong. It's not your home! It's our home!" Liu Ruonan said word by word. Since the west room became hers, it was naturally their home.
But Chen Guihua never imagined that Liu Ruonan would still act like this! She even wanted to go back and live with him? They had already severed their relationship, but they were still living together, face to face. How disgusting!
Thinking of this, Chen Guihua was filled with anger. She hadn't expected this little girl to be so comprehensive. Was this what they call learning from one's mistakes?
This Liu Ruonan has not only gained wisdom! She now has three or four wisdoms in her head.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, and with the intimidating gazes of the mayor and the town head, Chen Guihua could no longer play dirty. Reluctantly, she took off the key to her front door and angrily threw it to Liu Ruonan.
"Can I go now?"
Liu Ruonan made a gesture to invite her in, and Chen Guihua left angrily.
The farce ended like this. The soldier dismissed the villagers who came to see the doctor, hoping that everyone would give the leader and Zhuang Sheng a chance to have a private conversation.
Everyone was sensible, and they couldn't afford to offend such a powerful leader. Everyone dispersed, and the courtyard immediately fell silent.
It's almost noon now, and it's time to eat.
Fortunately, because Fulu is here recently, Chen Jianmin always feels that he is a rich man. He is afraid that he will not be able to get used to the food in the village, so he always prepares some delicious fish and meat at home and changes the food for him at any time.
But who could have guessed that Fulu had a strange personality and insisted on eating the same food as Zhuang Sheng? So, all the chickens, ducks, fish and meat were hung in the well, and it would take a while for them to finish eating.
Fortunately, there were still a lot of vegetables in the well. Liu Ruonan and Chen Jianmin pulled the vegetables and meat out of the well and prepared to cook a table of food.
After eating Liu Ruonan's cooking, Chen Jianmin basically stopped going into the kitchen and usually just helped Liu Ruonan. Everyone liked Liu Ruonan's cooking, and Chen Jianmin's cooking seemed like pig food in comparison.
They had a sequence for cooking. Liu Ruonan and Chen Jianmin picked the vegetables first, then prepared a fish, a chicken, a large piece of pork, and a fat duck!
