The villagers of Shihua Village, who love to watch the excitement, all gathered at the He family's courtyard.
Some farmers who originally planned to work in the fields simply put their hoes aside and squeezed into the crowd.
He Dazhu said, "As long as you return my family's land, house, and my father's 500,000 yuan compensation to me, I, He Dazhu, will never interfere with you again."
When He Deyong and He Guangyao heard He Dazhu demand 500,000 yuan right away, they immediately started cursing.
“Your father died when you became an idiot.”
"You think Grandma has been taking care of you all these years for nothing?"
"The villagers living in Shihua Village should all know that Shihua Village is a godforsaken place. How easy is it to survive in such a place?"
"Eating is free?"
"Clothes are free?"
"Medical treatment is free?"
"You think you still need 500,000? You've already spent almost all of that 500,000."
He Dazhu was immediately enraged upon hearing this.
"Second Uncle, do you really dare to say these things in front of all the villagers of Shihua Village?"
Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?
"Eat? How much would it cost to eat your leftovers? Sometimes even leftovers are a problem."
"Clothing? Do you really think the few pieces of cloth I wear can be called clothes? Day after day, year after year, it's the same clothes. When my whole body was red and swollen from the cold, who of you ever cared?"
"Seeing a doctor? Forget about it. Ever since I became an idiot, all I've had is an iron chain. Tell me, can an iron chain be used for medical treatment?"
Faced with He Dazhu's series of accusations, He Deyong was completely powerless to defend himself and was rendered speechless.
The villagers who were watching strongly supported He Dazhu and discussed the matter extensively.
“We have all seen the despicable things that He Deyong and you have done to He Dazhu over the years.”
"That's right, that's right. I saw He Dazhu faint in the cowshed several times. If it weren't for Li Xianggui taking pity on He Dazhu, we would have no idea where He Dazhu died."
He Dazhu cast a grateful glance at Li Xianggui.
Li Xianggui gave He Dazhu a sweet smile, signaling him to continue.
Even so, I cannot give you this 500,000.
“Because this is all something your He family owes me,” Zhao Lifen suddenly said.
All eyes turned to Zhao Lifen, wanting to see what she would have to say now.
In an instant, He Dazhu suddenly remembered that Zhao Lifen was not his biological grandmother; his biological grandmother had passed away long ago when she gave birth to his father.
He Dazhu's memory was very vague; he could only vaguely remember this much.
"Your He family is rich!"
"Your He family owns a lot of land!"
“My dad and mom can only work as long-term laborers for the He family. I was born into the He family.”
"But what use are all that money and land you have?"
"In the end, won't my dad still have to be the scapegoat for the He family?"
“Your He family is truly compassionate. My father died in your He family’s place, and the price is that your eldest son, He Zhengwen, will marry me as his concubine.”
"I really don't know why my father agreed to your request."
“If I don’t agree to your demands, it should be you who are dying, not my father.”
“If my father hadn’t agreed to your demands, there wouldn’t be anyone like He Dazhu here today, snatching everything that your He family owes our family.”
“He Dazhu, if you want 500,000, I can give it to you. I’ll tell you honestly, I haven’t touched a single penny of the 500,000. It’s all in one card. If you want it, you can take it.”
"But I beg you, your second grandmother, please give me back my father's life."
As she spoke, Zhao Lifen suddenly bent her knees, as if she wanted to kneel down.
Everyone was shocked!
The village chief rushed over to help Zhao Lifen, and He Dazhu also ran over quickly to support her.
If Zhao Lifen were to actually kneel down, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the conversation would certainly develop in a direction unfavorable to He Dazhu.
He Dabing said, "Aunt Zhao, just say what you want to say. Don't do this. It's inappropriate."
"If I don't do this, will He Dazhu let me off the hook?"
The villagers who had been watching started talking about it again.
Several elderly people with gray hair also recalled the events.
He Dazhu's family were not originally from Shihua Village. It is said that they fled to Shihua Village to escape the disaster. It is also said that He Dazhu's ancestor was originally surnamed Ye, but changed his surname to He to avoid the disaster.
Over time, they settled down in Shihua Village. However, the He family was also trapped by the poverty of Shihua Village and never regained their former glory, becoming as poor as most families in the village.
But no one can say for sure what happened before that. The villagers of Shihua Village know very little about the He family, or rather, the Ye family.
Zhao Lifen suddenly roared, "Come on, He Dazhu, didn't you want that 500,000?"
"Come and take it."
"I can tell you that the 500,000 is under a brick under my bed."
"If you're so capable, then take it."
"But I beg you to also give me my father's life."
Faced with Zhao Lifen's roar, He Dazhu immediately felt a tremendous pressure.
He Dazhu had no memory of his family's affairs. He only remembered that the eldest son of the Shen family had beaten him into a fool. He only vaguely remembered other things.
He Dazhu knew absolutely nothing about the Ye family, especially their affairs.
Now, the villagers watching have all sided with Zhao Lifen.
He Dazhu was immediately caught in a dilemma.
He Dazhu glanced at Zhao Lifen, who was being dragged along by He Dabing, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. Through the records in the Xuan Tian Medical Scripture, He Dazhu quickly determined that Zhao Lifen had contracted a serious illness and was nearing the end of her life.
"If what you're saying is true, then I don't need this 500,000."
"But I have a few conditions."
Seeing that there was a turning point in the He family's situation, He Dabing immediately asked He Dazhu, "Dazhu, what are your conditions?"
He Dazhu began, “First, He Debing and Liu Sichun are divorced, and He Guangyao is not allowed to see Liu Sichun again.”
"Secondly, all the land next to my Lingtangzi belongs to me, and I don't think that land is worth 500,000."
"Third, the house where He Debing's family is currently living was originally built by my father, and it has nothing to do with your messy affairs, Zhao Lifen. I'm taking this house back, but don't worry, I'm not coming back to live with you."
"I'm going to tear it down!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard that He Dazhu wanted to demolish the house.
To take action on someone else's territory would be a severe slap in the face to that family...
