Zhang Suzhen was furious and spoke quickly, angrily saying, "What secret is there! They're just trying to make trouble!"
This comrade, named Wang Aimin, glanced at Zhang Suzhen with some dissatisfaction.
When they go down to the grassroots to do things, what they fear most is encountering this kind of wrangling. He took a deep breath and said, "I still have to ask, we have to be responsible to the people, don't we?"
Liu Nian put down his pen and said, "You can ask the villagers about this. Many people were there at the time. It wasn't our Liu family who bullied others and seized their land, and then came here pretending to collect subsidies."
Wang Aimin nodded. "Okay." Then he opened the door and went out.
It's not uncommon for village officials to bully others by abusing their power; he'd seen it all when he went to the grassroots level. For a moment, emotionally, he was definitely on the side of the people.
Otherwise, why would they cry foul? Why would they go against the village committee? Everyone knows that you can't fight city hall, which is why the people at the bottom of society have the hardest time.
As soon as he stepped out, Li Datong ran over and said, "Comrade, you must stand up for us!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Aimin realized there was a grievance, and he quickly said, "Fellow villager, don't worry, tell me slowly."
Li Datong, with snot and tears streaming down his face, pointed at the Liu family members who were walking out of the village committee and said, "When the land was divided by lot, I clearly got that piece of saline-alkali land! But they used tricks, and the land became theirs!"
"Now I know that we can get subsidies for building roads on this land. No wonder the Liu family was so kind as to exchange their black soil for ours!"
"They must have heard rumors a long time ago, and then pretended to be nice to trick me into changing locations!"
As Li Datong spoke, he glanced at the Liu family members. That was exactly what he wanted to say, and it was the truth!
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Wang Aimin immediately looked at Liu Dafa.
Before the Liu family could speak, the villagers who were watching the commotion sneered.
The young widow took the lead, chuckling, and said, "What do you mean, 'real'? Of course it's fake!"
"Back then, when we were drawing lots, he did draw the saline-alkali land, but he didn't want it! He insisted that the Liu family was rich and didn't care about the quality of a piece of land, and wanted to exchange it with them. The village chief's family is doing well, and their children are successful, but that's not a reason for them to give you anything, is it?"
"But what can we do when the Liu family is so kind? We also felt sorry for Li Datong and the others, so we exchanged our black soil for their saline-alkali land. Now, in his mouth, it's become a completely different story?"
As the young widow spoke, she clapped her hands, "Tell me, isn't our village chief unlucky? He did a good deed and was still wronged!"
Wang Aimin was stunned, and asked again, "Really!"
"Of course it's true!"
Many villagers began to speak up for the village chief's family, saying, "The whole village was there when the lot was drawn. You can ask anyone and see who is lying!"
Liu Nian raised an eyebrow. At this moment, they didn't need to do anything; they just needed to act like they had been wronged.
Liu Nian sighed softly, lowered her eyes, and said, "At the time, we just thought that if they had a good piece of land and could harvest more grain, it would solve some practical problems. We didn't think about what benefits we would get in the future, but in the end, we were wronged."
These words excited Li Datong greatly. "Since you don't want any benefits, why don't you just exchange the land back? Anyway, your family is rich. You helped us once, so it's only right that you help us again!"
