Chapter 426 Abandonment
"Hey, Madam Xu, it's surprising what you said." Hu Chong said as he touched his beard, looked at Xu Miaomiao smugly, and shook his head at her.
"After all, you are from Wangjia Village, so it's not too much for you to help them manage the land. Besides, as the county magistrate, I naturally have to use the most useful people in the county to help all the things and people in the county. Wangjia Village is also an indispensable part of the county. What's the big deal if you help them?"
"You won't lose anything. After all, you were the one who first developed that land. Because of the cotton field and the plowed land, our Bai County has really increased its income greatly. How can we miss such a good thing?"
Xu Miaomiao sneered when she heard this, and said expressionlessly: "Since County Magistrate Hu also said so, then according to what you mean, I am from Wangjia Village, so it is natural for me to buy land."
"Of course. This land was originally developed by you. Now that there is a problem, if you don't fix it, who will?"
Liu Quezi spoke with dissatisfaction from the side.
Village chief Wang on the side wanted to hold him back and signal him to shut up, but he was retorted back. Looking at Liu Guizi's appearance, Village chief Wang did not say anything in the end. He just stood quietly aside and watched this farce.
Xu Miaomiao immediately said, "Since Mr. Liu said so, then this land must be treated. Since I am also from Wangjia Village, the share of this land should also belong to me. If I treat this land well, then I will be a great hero, and the land I get should be more, right?"
Xu Miaomiao asked back, and Liu Quezi pouted unhappily when he heard this: "It was obviously you who didn't want it at the beginning, and now you want it back, what's the reason?"
Listening to Liu Quezi's unreasonable talk, Gu Yuanniang on the side was also unhappy. She stepped forward to block Xu Miaomiao, looked at Liu Quezi opposite and said, "What do you mean we didn't want it at the beginning? It was obviously you who took it away by force. You wanted to drive us out and occupy our land. How come now that we are people from Wangjia Village, we are helping you buy land and we don't charge any free benefits? Why? Either give us some land, or we will leave it alone. You can do whatever you want."
As soon as Gu Yuanniang finished speaking, she looked at Xu Miaomiao. Xu Miaomiao saw his arrogant look and nodded at him. Gu Yuanniang used to be able to endure things, but now she has learned to stand up for herself. Xu Miaomiao was quite relieved about this. At least in this way, she didn't have to worry about Gu Yuanniang being bullied by others when she went out.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao nod to her affirmatively, Gu Yuanniang smiled proudly and politely returned the greeting.
Seeing Gu Yuanniang and Xu Miaomiao singing the same tune, Liu Quezi was forced to be speechless. Hu Chong on the high platform also became a little impatient and said, "Your family is not short of money for such a piece of land. You are so generous. What's wrong with helping them treat it for free?"
"County Magistrate Hu, you are forcing me to repay evil with kindness and blackmailing me with morality." Xu Miaomiao heard this and asked back, "Who said my family doesn't need money?"
"If my family is not short of money, why would I open a department store? Wouldn't it be enough to just sit there and collect money all day? My family is really in dire straits. You have seen my store. Most people in this county are making things difficult for me because I am a woman. I am really having a hard time. Moreover, I have a whole family of people to support. Now my husband is an official in Bai County. Even if he can't live up to his reputation, he has to live a decent life. You can't let our family be so mediocre, even worse than an ordinary person in Bai County. What's the point of him being an official then?"
"County Magistrate Hu, please have some pity on us. They drove us out and took back the land. Have you ever thought that I was the one who developed that land? If it weren't for me, how could Wangjia Village have achieved what it has today? I'm afraid they would still be hunting in the mountains, which is so dangerous. Not only did they not thank me, they even drove me out. It really chills me. Now they want me to go back and manage the land for them. I must have this land."
