Chapter 430: Be tough for once and judge the truth
Qin Wenbin sighed and said earnestly, "Everything is mutual. It's useless for you to care about the old relationship unilaterally. Since my uncle can easily say that he doesn't want our family as a relative, it means that our family doesn't have much weight in his heart. If that's the case, why do you have to work so hard to maintain the relationship between the two families?"
Father Qin still couldn't come to his senses for a while, but that didn't stop him from listening to Qin Wenbin's words.
Some relatives originally wanted to come up and give some advice, but after hearing what Qin's mother said, they realized the seriousness of the problem. Seeing that the situation was not good, some people immediately ran to find the village chief and senior village officials.
The atmosphere was solemn as Qin's father called Qin Wenbin. Everyone was waiting silently. Although Qin Wenbin was a little lame, he was Qin's father's only son, and his attitude was the most important.
After Qin's father hung up the phone, many people stared at him nervously, even Ke Yinghong. They didn't really want to sever ties with Qin's father's family. If they did, it would be a loss. Now Qin's mother and Qin Wenjun's intentions were very clear, and Qin's father was weak and indecisive, so they could only look to Qin Wenbin.
Qin Wenjun's uncle remained dignified the entire time, as if he was waiting for Qin's father to admit his mistake to him.
Father Qin sighed softly, raised his eyelids, wiped his tears, looked at the angry Mother Qin, the stern Qin Wenjun, the expressionless Zhang Baiyan and others, smiled bitterly, stood up and said, "My son said that he will sell the land today. Everyone, please help ask who needs it. As long as it is decided today, the price can be 10% lower than the market price."
Uncle Qin Wenjun seemed to not recognize his younger brother. He stared at him in shock and anger. His finger was shaking as he pointed at Qin's father. "Is this how you treat your elder brother?"
Father Qin lowered his eyes and was silent for a few seconds before turning around and looking his eldest brother in the eye. He said calmly, "Brother, we don't owe you anything. Everyone in the village is watching. Everyone knows who is right and who is wrong. If you don't recognize our relationship, we won't rush to establish a relationship with you. It's good to keep a distance."
Ke Yinghong immediately became anxious and said hurriedly: "Uncle, that's not what you mean. You are brothers. Even if your bones are broken, you are still connected! How can you just sever your relationship like that?"
"Isn't this what my eldest brother meant?" Father Qin said indifferently, sighing sadly, "Anyway, our family's affairs have been settled, and I have nothing to say if you disagree."
"This, this, this..." Ke Yinghong looked at her own face-conscious man and then at Qin's father. Qin's father's attitude was obviously beyond her expectations. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
The village chief and the village officials hurried over with a group of people. Before they even got close, they asked loudly, "Why are you making a fuss on such a happy day? What's going on? Who's fighting?"
"Village chief, no one is fighting!" a villager said blankly.
The village official looked at everyone present with a stern face, and immediately noticed Zhang Wanwan and others with different temperaments. As a man who has seen the world, he knew at a glance that Zhang Wanwan and others should not be neglected. He immediately stepped forward politely and asked Qin's father and mother: "Old Qin, today is a good day for your daughter's engagement. Is there anything that can't be discussed in a nice way? Since we are all here, just tell us what happened, and we will mediate it immediately if we can."
Before Qin's father could say anything, Qin's mother spoke first, "Secretary, you came at the right time. My family plans to move out of the village and no longer live here, so we have to sell our land. It's best to sell it today. But my uncle and sister-in-law disagree and say they want to break off the relationship with us. Haha. Please judge for yourself. Why should I care about other people's business if my family sells our own land? Is this reasonable?"
The village official shook his head and replied firmly: "That's definitely not right. There is no precedent in our village. Who would ask for the opinions of their uncles before selling their land?"
"That's right," the villagers echoed.
Ke Yinghong and her husband were in a dilemma. They had originally wanted to come here for a meal and make some noise. Given Qin's father's personality, he would surely show weakness and the matter could be smoothed over. As for what happened next, they could talk about it later. They didn't expect that the matter was completely out of their control. Now even the village chief and senior officials had shown up. Their situation became extremely embarrassing. They had lost all their face and dignity. It would be difficult for them to gain a foothold in the village in the future.
Thinking of this, both of them looked a little ugly. Ke Yinghong gritted her teeth and simply risked her life, shouting, "Secretary, that's not what you said. When my uncle's family left the village and gave us those fields to take care of, I took care of them with all my heart and soul and fertilized them. Even if I didn't have any credit, I still worked hard. Now that my fields are fertile, they want to sell them. Isn't all my hard work for more than a year in vain?"
Mother Qin was so angry that she was about to start a quarrel with Ke Yinghong, but was stopped by Qin Wenjun. Qin Wenjun stood up, nodded to the secretary, and smiled faintly: "If I remember correctly, my aunt has been growing vegetables in my field for more than a year. We don't seem to have charged you a penny. Instead, we have been growing vegetables for you for free for more than a year. If what you said is true, should I ask for some interest?
You want to fertilize the fields because you want to create more profits, not because of us. And you have been cultivating our fields for more than a year, and you haven't shown any expression, right?"
The aunt who had led Zhang Wanwan and the others before couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, "You guys are stupid. You think it's natural for others to take advantage of you!"
The village chief and the secretary now understood the whole story. They looked at Ke Yinghong and her husband with unfriendly eyes, especially since the two of them had made such an ugly scene on the day of their niece's engagement, bringing shame to the village.
The secretary turned around and whispered a few words to the village chief. He ignored Ke Yinghong and her husband and said to Qin's mother, "This is your family's business. No one else has the right to interfere. You can sell whatever you want. But since you are in a hurry to sell the land, have you found a new place to live?"
The secretary's words made Qin's mother feel comfortable. She smiled and replied politely, "Yes, we live in Qingpu now. To be honest, life there is much better than here. Besides, my family all work there. We plan to buy land and build a house in Qingpu in the future. We will transfer our household registration there and never come back. Wouldn't it cost a lot to buy land and build a house? That's why we are in a hurry to sell all the land here. We will leave today. If we can get a deal today, the price will be cheaper."
The secretary subconsciously glanced at Zhang Wanwan and the others, and said thoughtfully, "How about this, I'll ask around for you. There are still many people in the village who are short of land, and they can't even find a wife. You guys do it first, and we'll ask around from house to house. Maybe we'll get some news this afternoon."
