Chapter 86 The Land Buyer
The man rescued by Zhang Juexia did not tell his name before leaving. He just left a jade pendant and said that they would meet again if they had the chance.
It was Liu Mingda who let the man go, but he gave the jade pendant to Zhang Juexia, "You guys saved the man, keep this jade pendant, it looks good to me, maybe I'll need it someday."
Zhang Juexia took it and said, "If I had been there when that person left, I would have asked him to write me an IOU. Silver is much more useful than this jade pendant."
Liu Mingda looked at Zhang Juexia as if he didn't understand, "So keep it well, I told you to. There are only a few people in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom who can produce a jade pendant of this quality."
Zhang Juexia collected the jade pendant and put it away.
That night, the officers and soldiers entered Yejia Village, and Ye Jidong led them to search house by house.
In order to avoid trouble, Liu Mingda took the initiative to hide in the cellar.
Because Zhang Juexia's home was close to the mountain and outside the village, the officers and soldiers searched very carefully and questioned him a lot.
After a search, they found nothing.
Before leaving, these people still insisted on reminding Ye Beixiu, "You are close to the mountain here. If someone comes to ask for help in the middle of the night, you must report it to the police."
Ye Beixiu responded repeatedly.
After seeing off the officers and soldiers, Zhang Juexia was no longer sleepy.
"Sir, you said Doctor Liu is truly amazing. How can he see through everything?"
"He has been out there for many years and has a lot of experience. Madam, what is it like out there? I'm also curious."
"Then let's take some time to go out and take a look."
"Um."
No matter what happens outside, life must go on.
Zhang Juexia accepted the canned food order from Manfu Restaurant and had to deliver the goods quickly.
Ye Beixiu and she were busy removing the core, but time was tight and the task was urgent, so the power of two people was always limited.
"I'll go to the old house and call my sister-in-law and Suyun to help. It should be faster."
Ye Beixiu also agreed. After all, this kind of delicate work was not really suitable for a rough guy like him.
"Go quickly. When they come, I can take a break."
"Husband, we do this work to earn money. Here's what I think. Let Dasao and Suyun come to help, and we'll pay them. How about that?"
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Zhang Juexia hadn't been to the old house for a long time. When she entered the yard, she felt so quiet that she felt uneasy. She called out to her grandparents a few times.
Wang Guilan walked out of the house with a tired look on her face, "Xia'er is here, come in quickly."
After Zhang Juexia entered the room, he did not linger for long and went straight to the point.
After hearing this, Wang Guilan stood up and said, "I'll go with you to ask them to go."
Li Yiqun and Ye Suyun were of course happy to do so, and followed Zhang Juexia without saying a word.
At first, Zhang Juexia was worried about Li Yiqin's health, but Li Yiqin didn't care. "We country people don't care about so many things. We don't have any land to farm. People who have land to farm, who doesn't work in the fields until they give birth?"
"Sister-in-law, this is your first child, so you have to be careful too."
"I know."
Then, Li Yiqin sighed again, "Xia'er, don't even mention paying us. Even if you don't pay me, I'd still be willing to come to your house and work. Oh, just talking to you makes me feel different."
Even Ye Suyun, who was always cautious, nodded this time.
"But what happened? When I went to the old house, I felt something was wrong."
Li Yiqin looked around and asked, "What is Bei Xiu doing?"
"He should have gone to the backyard with Doctor Liu."
"You don't know, I'm looking forward to moving out right now in my dreams. I'd be happy even if it means living in a shack."
"What happened? Grandma doesn't look happy either."
Li Yiqin lowered her voice, "Since Bei Xiu is not here, I will tell you something. The situation at home is all caused by Third Aunt. When you went to the old house today, did you also notice that she was not at home?"
"Um."
"Aunt San had a fight with my grandparents and ran back to her parents' home with her children.
Uncle San was angry and didn't call her.
In short, the atmosphere at home is very bad.”
Zhang Juexia put down his work in surprise. "Didn't you split up? What are you still making such a fuss about?"
She was also convinced by Pang Xiujuan.
Everyone was unwilling to say anything behind Ye Beixiu's back for her sake.
But she really doesn't act like a mother-in-law. She does everything and won't stop until she gets to the point of being exhausted.
Li Yiqin glanced at Ye Suyun, who also showed impatience on her face. "Sister-in-law, please stop looking at me. Just say whatever you want to say. Anyway, I also think Third Aunt has gone too far this time."
"Well, Xia'er, logically speaking, you and Third Aunt are very close, so we shouldn't gossip about her behind her back.
But during the time we've been with you, we've also realized that you're a person who understands the bigger picture, who cares about the bigger picture, and who supports what's right, not what's your relative."
Zhang Juexia interrupted Li Yiqin, "Sister-in-law, stop saying nice things and get down to business!
Maybe talking it out will make you feel better, and it will be better for the baby in your belly."
"Third Auntie has been making a fuss about dividing the family property again recently. Grandpa and Grandma didn't agree, so she took Beili and Beifeng back to her parents' home."
"When we split the family business, it was all based on her personality. Now, why is she making a fuss about splitting the family business again?"
Zhang Juexia was speechless. "She really thinks dividing the family is just a child's play."
"Everyone knows this, but Third Aunt doesn't agree. She says Grandpa didn't distribute the property equally."
"I think she got some benefit! Why isn't it evenly distributed?"
"This matter has to start from when Third Aunt bought the land."
Zhang Juexia was shocked when he heard about the land purchase. "But that happened a few days ago? The officials are here too?"
"Exactly."
Zhang Juexia understood, but was still a little confused. She did ask on the street and also went to the old house, but no one admitted to buying the land!
"Third Aunt is so incompetent that she pissed off the official who was supposed to be there and drove him away. But she didn't even go home. She went back to her parents' home to discuss this matter."
"After much discussion, they decided not to buy the land. Now they are trying to divide the family property again and give her half of the wasteland.
Grandpa and grandma, you will definitely not be happy about this. This is not the way to divide the family. It has been recorded in the household register, so how can you go back on your word? "
"She accused her grandparents of being partial, saying they knew the land price had gone up but didn't tell her, causing her to be unable to buy the land even though she had the money."
“What happened that day when my mother-in-law bought the land?”
"Who knows? But through her words, we've managed to figure out a few things, even by guessing and guessing.
It must be that she was unwilling to give the other person the benefits of doing the job, and she spoke harshly, which offended the official.
I heard from my grandfather that he went to ask Uncle Ji Dong, and the land price had indeed increased, but the document on the price increase from the court was only delivered yesterday.
Uncle Yunhai just bought some wasteland. He bought it two days later than Aunt San did, and the price didn’t go up when they bought it.”
