The next morning, Xia Lan woke up feeling sore all over and almost couldn't get out of bed.
Remembering how that jerk of a man had been going on and on last night, Xia Lan angrily got out of bed, determined to go out and settle the score with him.
"Qin Yu!!!"
Xia Lan yelled at Qin Yu, and as soon as she stepped out the door, she saw a whole yard full of people, and her whole body stiffened.
Qin Yu quickly ran over, picked Xia Lan up, and carried her back to her room.
Why are there so many people in the house?
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu in surprise, and Qin Yu shrugged.
“I just said I wanted to lease land, and everyone's asking me why I want to lease it…”
Qin Yu explained it to Xia Lan properly, and Xia Lan raised her eyebrows and nodded.
"Then you deal with them first!"
Xia Lan climbed into bed and decided to continue sleeping.
Qin Yu rubbed Xia Lan's head and kissed her cheek before getting up and leaving the room.
He didn't want these people to bother Xia Lan.
"Qin Yu, are you serious? You really want so much land?"
"Yes! With so much land, can you possibly cultivate it all?"
What are you trying to do?
"you……"
One question after another kept popping up.
Xiao Yuqin found it annoying and hid in her room with Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, refusing to come out.
Leave everything to Qin Yu to handle.
Qin Yu just stared at them until everyone quieted down, then he gave them a cold look and stated his requirements.
"What I do is none of your business!"
To contract land, you only need to cooperate with the village; you don't need their consent at all.
"If you wanted to buy land, why didn't you tell us?"
Some people disagreed and asked.
"I paid for this land, why should I report to you what I'm planting? This policy has already been implemented outside for a while now! That's why I came back!"
"What do I need your permission to plant or do? Do I need you to give me money?"
Qin Yu answered their questions with an icy attitude.
"So much money, who knows how you got it..."
Some people said sourly.
"What business is it of yours how I got it? If I committed a crime, the police will come and take me away. Do I need to report to you?"
Qin Yu retorted directly, and many people reluctantly shut their mouths.
They came here today because they wanted to know what Qin Yu had been doing to make his fortune...
During the morning meeting, everyone once again rejected Xu Fulin's proposal and insisted on continuing the "iron rice bowl" system.
Qin Yu, however, jumped out and declared his support for Xu Fulin, saying he would contract more than half of the land.
This terrified everyone. In addition, Xu Fulin agreed on the spot, and Qin Yu successfully acquired half of the land without any obstacles, and all of it was good land.
So as soon as the meeting ended, everyone spontaneously followed Qin Yu home.
They all wanted to know why Qin Yu had so much money, and whether he had really made money outside...
Qin Yu certainly didn't have that much money, but with the money given by Xiao Yuqin and Qin Jun, it would be enough.
He originally only planned to buy one-third of the land, but the money Qin Jun and Xiao Yuqin had saved for him was enough to buy half of it.
So after discussing it with Xia Lan, Qin Yu decided to rent the land right now.
While Qin Yu was still hesitating for fifteen years, Xia Lan decisively slammed her hand on the table.
Xia Lan's unwavering support gave Qin Yu a lot of confidence.
He decided to take a gamble.
Qin Yu had expected the villagers' reaction, but he wouldn't pay them any attention, much less let them join him.
Even without Qin Yu saying anything, Xia Lan could sense his displeasure.
"Qin Yu, we've all watched you grow up. If you have any good news, please let us know..."
"Yeah yeah……"
“We’re all from the same village. When it comes to making money, shouldn’t you think of us first?”
"That's right, I even fed you a bite of food when you were little!"
"I even washed your clothes..."
"We've all helped you before..."
When threats failed, they changed tactics and began to use moral blackmail, appealing to emotions and pledging gratitude.
Qin Yu looked at them, his eyes filled with indifference.
"Aunt Li, I almost forgot. You kicked my brother Qin's washed clothes into the water in the dead of winter, didn't you?"
"And you, Aunt Liu, you dropped a piece of rice on the ground, and I, Brother Qin, licked it up. Is that what you call feeding me a bite of rice?"
Zhao Xiaolong pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Qin Yu, returning the items one by one on his behalf.
"Exactly! I've seen shameless people before, but I never imagined they could actually say something so shameless!"
Tian Min also walked in, looking at the group of people in front of him with a sneer in his eyes.
Tian Min, who was usually kind and good-natured, disliked all these people.
"Want to make money? Figure it out yourself!"
Wang Tiezhu sneered, with Chen Mo and Ding Cheng behind him.
The five people stood in front of Qin Yu, looking at the scheming people filling the courtyard.
How dare these people claim they have done Qin Yu a favor?
"..."
Seeing the five people appear and protect Qin Yu, many people pursed their lips but dared not say anything back.
After all, Qin Yu would still give them some face, but these five people were like rabid dogs, biting anyone they could get their hands on.
They won't let you go, whether you're male or female.
"Aren't you going to get lost? Do you want to stay and be chopped into mincemeat?"
Tian Min pulled out a large cleaver from his body and slashed it into the air.
"ah!!!"
The women turned pale with fright and quickly turned and ran away.
