Chapter 19: Forced to Move
Chi Wan was very satisfied with his wish coming true, so he shook Li Xingye's hand again: "Thank you, big brother~ Then let's go now!"
After saying that, he let go of Li Xingye's hand without any reluctance and walked quickly down the mountain.
Li Xingye, who was originally a little nervous, suddenly felt his hands were free. He should have been relieved, but he felt inexplicably lost.
Shaking off those messy thoughts, Li Xingye coughed lightly and tried to change the subject: "Actually, you don't have to keep calling me big brother. I'm probably only a few years older than you. You... just call me brother."
In Li Xingye's imagination, the effect of Chi Wan calling him "brother" should be similar to that of Qiangzi and the others.
But he soon realized that this was an extremely wrong suggestion.
Because Chi Wan responded very readily: "Okay. You are two years older than me, so from now on I will call you... Xingye brother? Ye brother? Brother?"
As Chi Wan addressed him, each time sweeter than the last, Li Xingye finally realized what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
He couldn't help but cover his ears with his palms. The heat from his palms was so shocking that he suspected his whole face was about to burn.
God knows, he was not so nervous when facing the zombie tide.
Chi Wan had no idea that some seemingly powerful superpower bosses almost lost their armor because of a title.
She just felt that the boss had taken the initiative to show goodwill, so she should reciprocate.
So she said very naturally: "Then from now on just call me Wanwan... Brother Xingye."
After thinking about it, I decided that considering the current relationship between us, it would be more appropriate to call him that.
Li Xingye only replied with a "hmm", and his voice sounded a little muffled.
Chi Wan didn't care too much, because her mind was full of the house that was about to be filled with thorns!
Liu Dali and his men are definitely going to jail, but they still have family and brothers to protect, so they have to be on guard against others. Now that the problem with the fruit trees has been solved, their family will definitely have to live in the village for a while in the future.
With the house-protecting shrubs, she can feel a little more at ease when she goes to school.
Chi Wan couldn't wait to tell Chi Yuanshan and Song Yinghe about the fruit tree, so he ran down the mountain very fast.
But when she was almost at the door of her house, panting, she saw another group of people gathered at her door.
Chi Yuanshan and his wife, who were standing at the door, had extremely ugly expressions on their faces.
Chi Wan's good mood was instantly ruined. She frowned and walked over, only to find that it was the village chief again, as well as the familiar Xu Cuifen and others.
"What's going on? You're standing in front of our house every day. Don't you have anything else to do?"
Hearing Chi Wan's voice, Xu Cuifen was not angry but happy.
She put on an extremely hypocritical smile and said to Chi Wan, "Hey, little girl, you're here just in time. While your whole family is here, hurry up and move all your things away, so as not to take up space in the village."
The village chief said to Chi Wan with a fake smile, "It's like this. The village has a rule that people who move to the city cannot inherit homesteads. So, logically speaking, your land has been taken over by the village, and you can't live there, let alone renovate the house."
Upon hearing this, Chi Wan looked towards his parents, only to see Chi Yuanshan and Song Yinghe with gloomy faces, unable to utter a word in rebuttal.
I know that this rule may be true, but we are from the same village, so it may be possible to make some concessions.
The village chief was using chicken feathers as a token of authority, and it was obvious that he wanted to capture Liu Dali and his men before taking revenge on her!
Seeing that the Chi family was silent, Xu Cuifen's face was full of smugness. She sneered, "We also know that if you were not down and out, you would not think of returning to the village. We are all from the same hometown, and we can't bear to let you live on the streets.
"Well, you go to the police station and write a letter of apology to let me go back. I can let you stay in our old house temporarily."
A man behind her suddenly said, "But sister, that house has been turned into a pigsty. It's uninhabitable."
Xu Cuifen sneered, "Isn't there a small room next to the pigsty? Three people can squeeze in and live there. Didn't Dali also suffer this hardship in the past? Why can't they do the same when it's their turn?"
Chi Yuanshan didn't want to pay any attention to these people and said to the village chief, "Give me one day, we will move out tomorrow morning."
Before the village chief could say anything, Xu Cuifen spoke directly: "No! The village has its own rules, and it's not easy to change the rules for your family. If you want to move, move now!"
The village chief said with embarrassment: "Yuanshan, it's not that I'm not flexible. Everyone is watching. Besides, this house should have been taken away directly, but now we've let you live in it for a few days. You watch..."
Chi Wan looked at the disgusting looks on these people's faces and almost vomited his lunch.
She said in a clear and resounding voice: "We can move, but Liu Dali and the others can only dream of leaving! Remember this, if you force us to move out today, don't cry and beg us to move back in the future!"
Xu Cuifen said angrily, "You little girl with high aspirations but a fragile life! Get out of our village right away! You've caused chaos as soon as you came here, who would want you to come back?"
"That's right. You came back and robbed the orchard, but you didn't know how to take care of it. You ruined the orchard like this. I'm afraid the village's income will be greatly reduced this year. I'm lucky enough that I didn't make you lose money!"
"Move quickly! Don't occupy the village's land!"
…
Chi Yuanshan could no longer restrain himself and shouted angrily, "Get out of here! You have enjoyed the benefits of our orchard for so many years, and not only do you not say a word to us, you even dare to bite us! I would rather feed this fruit to dogs than give it to you!"
"I'm moving now, and you guys should get out of here right now! Even if this land belongs to the village, we still have the right to use this house! At most, we can't renovate it. If you say one more word, I will go to petition!"
The village chief's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't dare to force the other person. He just smiled and comforted her: "Yuanshan, this is flexible in itself. It's our village's own rule. So, I'll give you one more night. You can move slowly. There's no rush."
After saying that, he took the others away.
Chi Yuanshan took a few deep breaths. All the anger he had ever gotten in his life was not as much as the anger he had gotten in the past two days since he returned to the village.
After calming down a bit, he whispered, "Wanwan, Ah He, I am sorry for you... I made you suffer with me, I am useless, I..."
Hearing Chi Yuanshan's choked voice, Song Yinghe couldn't help but shed tears.
But she quickly wiped away her tears, took Chi Yuanshan's arm and said through gritted teeth: "Old Chi, don't be afraid! We were able to start from scratch in the beginning, and we can do it again now! People like Liu Dali can make money with their orchards, so why can't we?"
