Chapter 101 Lin Village Gossip
Most people in Jiang Village have the surname Jiang.
But if we count by the number of households, there were only nine households with the surname Jiang at the time of the demolition.
Although it is true that after An Songyu's family returned to the village after contracting the land, they applied for two more residential plots.
An Jianmin's family also followed suit and applied for another piece of land.
But even if we calculate based on the previous twenty-four households.
In the prestigious Jiang Village, the surname Jiang accounts for less than half of the population.
This is indeed something that is funny to tell.
If the demolition had not happened before.
The Jiang family could still comfort themselves that although they had few households, they had a large population.
Everyone is united, and they still have the final say in Jiangcun.
But now...
The person who asked the question just now was pulled back by his family.
Only then did I realize that the way he started the topic was really not very good.
So, he hurriedly tried to make up for the loss and simply stopped talking about the village: "Do you think Lin Village is really not going to sign?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they really aroused the interest of everyone in the village committee compound.
Someone said helplessly: "They will definitely sign it, they just don't want to now!"
“Don’t forget that in the end, our village didn’t recognize the additions to the yards.”
When he mentioned this, many people in the village committee compound fell silent.
If we were to say what made Jiangcun most dissatisfied about this demolition.
That is, after trying my best to build additions on my house, none of them were recognized.
However, the demolition office did not want Jiangcun to cause trouble, so they reluctantly compensated them for the materials and labor costs.
Another thing is that the additional land is almost all in the yard.
Although the house was not recognized by them.
The newly poured cement floor in the yard was still given to them.
This is also why the people of Jiangcun are not very satisfied.
But there is no reason to insist on not agreeing.
As for Lincun.
That's a complicated situation.
Back then, many families in Lincun built new houses specifically for renting out to workers in the new district.
Every family is short of money, so they build as many houses as they can.
Naturally, there is basically no decoration.
There are some families who got some land demolished during the last relocation.
That house is the tallest one.
Homesteads will also be divided according to what can be divided.
The decoration is very neat.
The rental prices in the past six months have been the highest.
This time, the demolition has different standards for compensation.
Other people in Lam Tsuen were very unhappy.
So from the time of demolition to now.
Almost no one in the entire village went to register.
Some people want to register but don't dare to go.
After all, the whole village is watching.
Lincun is different from Jiangcun.
All the villagers have the surname Lin, which is passed down from the same ancestor.
Although the village is managed by the village committee.
But it is also in accordance with the clan rules.
In order to seek better demolition conditions for the entire village.
Not to mention other people in Lin Village, even the people from the village committee did not register.
Originally, if they really just united.
It would be fine if they just wanted to seek better conditions for the demolition.
But Lin Village itself also has many internal problems.
Especially after the first two demolitions.
No one understands better than the people of Lincun the huge wealth that can be gained from demolition and the wonderful life after demolition.
So it wasn't just the families within Lam Tsuen that were in turmoil.
Even the relationship between neighbors has become particularly tense.
Since the reform and opening up, everyone's life has been getting better and better.
In the past, people would quarrel over a hoe in the corner of the field, a tree, or a few young seedlings.
It has long been buried in history.
But nowadays, it happens almost every day in Lin Village.
There have even been some vicious incidents recently.
An Songyu hasn't been in the village recently, so I haven't heard of him.
I was listening to everyone talking at once and it was very lively.
A large number of villagers finally walked into the village committee.
An Songyu looked at the time and found that the time for the villagers' meeting notified by the village committee was approaching.
An Songyu immediately looked around, trying to find his uncle and aunt.
"Why do you need to look for them?" Jiang Shanshan found it very funny.
She pointed at the villagers who had just entered the village committee compound and huddled together automatically, and chuckled:
"Look, who in the village doesn't know who?"
"Whose family has someone sitting down, and where?"
"People who are familiar with each other want to get together, and people who are not on good terms with each other want to stay away from each other."
"Don't we all know clearly?"
An Songyu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously followed his aunt's instructions to observe.
Originally, when An Songyu and others entered the village committee compound.
She thought that everyone had not arrived yet, so the seats were so sparse.
But now I see that the seats are not sparse at all.
It's just a special seat reserved for family members or acquaintances.
Look how long it has been, and the places that were originally occupied by people sitting here and there are now almost full.
An Songyu suddenly reacted, she smiled and asked Jiang Shanshan:
"So, those who came early just now, aren't they here because they don't like to watch the fun?"
Jiang Shanshan was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted after thinking for a while. She was very happy: "What you said...we have never looked at it from this angle."
"But if you really want to put it that way, then it can be said that!"
"Aunt!" An Songyu called out rather embarrassedly.
"I really didn't lie to you! They did have their reasons for coming early to grab a seat." Jiang Shanshan quickly patted An Songyu's shoulder to comfort her and then explained:
"But I really don't like crowds that much."
"Besides, there can also be some excitement in the village committee compound."
It sounds like an explanation but also like no explanation.
An Songyu stared with her beautiful eyes, just looking at Jiang Shanshan who was trying to hold back her laughter.
Jiang Shanshan couldn't hold it in anymore.
She patted An Songyu's shoulder.
Just as I was about to say something to coax my little niece, I saw An Jianguo and his friend not far away.
So the words in her mouth changed and became:
"Ayu, look, your uncle and aunt are here."
An Songyu quickly turned around to look over.
Then I saw Yuan Qionghua, who obviously looked unhappy, and An Jianguo, who looked calm, walking towards me.
Then, there was no need for An Songyu and the others to call out, as someone pointed to their location and showed it to them.
An Songyu also laughed.
It turned out that someone had sat down there shortly after they entered the village committee compound.
When we were chatting just now, everyone was having fun together!
No wonder they can point out everyone's location at once.
However, as the two people came closer, An Songyu realized why they were the only couple in his uncle's house.
"Your elder brother and the others have been here a long time ago." Geng Yulan next to him promptly solved the confusion for An Songyu.
An Songyu felt quite embarrassed. Why did she ask the doubts in her heart directly?
But she still looked in the direction indicated by Fourth Aunt's gaze.
I happened to see An Songshu and his wife sitting among a group of people with the surname Jiang.
In fact, it was not too far away from them.
Look at how comfortable the couple is among that group of people.
Especially the smile on my cousin’s wife’s face.
An Songyu couldn't remember the time when she had ever smiled like this in front of their family.
