Chapter 127: Suffering in silence
If the village chief hadn't known they were lying, he would have been moved by their words: Where can we find such good friends?
However, the village chief asked someone to keep an eye on the yard and report any movement to him immediately.
After making the arrangements, he was about to go home when he was stopped by Liang Yuanwang and Wu Hongcheng.
"What's wrong with you two?" Seeing the two people looking at each other with discontent, the village chief frowned deeply.
Before Liang Yuanwang could even open his mouth, Wu Hongcheng pointed out the contradiction.
"How can we not tell them apart? We have been here for almost five years." The village chief found it unbelievable. The land was divided as soon as they arrived here. The Liang family's land and the Wu Hongcheng family's land were very close, but the dividing line was very clear and could not be confused.
"Isn't there a flood? The flood washed away the dividing line, and we don't know how to divide it, so we came here to ask the village chief to divide it for us." Wu Hongcheng rubbed his hands.
The village chief walked to the edge of the field and found that the original dividing line had indeed disappeared.
Even looking at it this way, he couldn't tell it for a while.
I could only go home and look for the original book.
As a result, the booklet was soaked by the flood and was completely messed up, making it impossible to read clearly.
"Now, what should we do?" The village chief said helplessly as he looked at the water-soaked book in his hand.
When the villagers heard that Wu Hongcheng was competing with the Liang family for farmland, they all rushed to see the excitement.
When they learned that the booklet in the village chief's hand was no longer legible, many people began to have ideas.
In fact, many people felt that the land was divided unfairly at first, but because they had just arrived here and were worried that they would be driven away, they chose to compromise.
Now that they have this opportunity, they don't want to miss it.
Liang Huanxue saw many people around her with their eyes rolling around, and she knew that they also wanted to grab the land.
I'm afraid the village will be in chaos now.
Before they could figure out the identities of the two strangers, they started fighting among themselves.
It's really ridiculous.
"Do you have any way to prove it?" the village chief asked helplessly.
Since both families claim that the land belongs to them, they should produce evidence to prove it.
Whoever can provide evidence will get it.
Cuicui came up, handed the shovel in her hand to Wu Hongcheng, pointed to a place and said, "Dig!"
Wu Hongcheng was stunned for a moment, then he took the shovel and dug down. When he dug about one meter deep, he dug out something.
It looks like a stone Buddha statue, but it is roughly carved and only the outline can be seen.
"I buried this Buddha statue in my home. Now it can be proved that this land belongs to me, right?" Cuicui picked up the Buddha statue and said proudly.
Liang Huanxue finally understood that Cuicui must have discovered early on that the dividing line had been washed away by the flood and had already made preparations.
Just waiting for them to come over to argue.
Otherwise she wouldn't have planted the stolen seedlings in the yard.
Although it is planted in a corner, you can see it as long as you pass by the yard and take a look inside. It is quite conspicuous.
"Old Four, look..." The village chief did not expect Cuicui to be able to find evidence. He looked at Liang Yuanwang in embarrassment.
"Wu Hongcheng, I really didn't expect you guys to be so capable. Now that you've produced evidence, I'll admit it.
This piece of land is for you, but you made me suffer this loss today, so don’t let me catch you in the future, otherwise…”
Liang Yuanwang was too lazy to argue with them too much.
The Liang family didn't rely on the little things from the land to make a living.
I just feel unhappy.
He was defeated by them today, but he would not suffer this loss in vain.
If Wu Hongcheng has any problems in the future, don't expect the Liang family to solve it.
Liang Yuanwang called out to Liang Huanxue, then turned around and walked away quickly.
"Wow, it's amazing, just like Aunt Wang's dog, it can find the things it buried immediately. I can't find it." Liang Huanxue said with a pout before leaving.
Her voice was soft and even when she cursed, it didn't sound offensive.
People around her just thought she was calling Cuicui a dog in a roundabout way.
Only after the people left did the villagers realize what was going on.
According to Cuicui, the Buddha statue must have been buried in the ground a long time ago, and now the dividing line has been washed away. How did she know the exact location?
Moreover, the Buddha statue looked very clean, and no dirt had yet penetrated into it.
If it had really been buried in the soil for a long time, there would be traces of mud and sand seeping in.
Cuicui naturally ignored those suspicions. She walked up to the village chief and asked, "Since Liang Yuanwang has already acknowledged it, then this piece of land is ours?"
The village chief also felt that there was something fishy, but who prevented Liang Yuanwang from producing evidence?
He nodded and said, "Forget it, since you have evidence, I'll give you this land."
When the others saw this, they immediately surrounded the village chief and asked, "Village chief, is it enough if we just have evidence?"
When the village chief heard this, he immediately became alert, "You...what do you want to do?"
Wasn't it that before, each family was tidying up their own farmland, and no one raised any objections?
This was the first time he encountered such a dispute. If Cuicui had not been able to produce evidence, he would not have made such a judgment.
But now it seems that everyone in the village wants to do the same thing.
As a result, many people in the village started to have some ideas and went back to prepare various "evidences" in order to fight for more farmland.
Originally, only a dozen or so families had this idea, but once they had this idea, it was bound to affect other families.
As a result, a war to defend farmland broke out in the village, and some people even fought each other.
Liang Yuanwang returned home, feeling very depressed.
"I never thought that Wu Hongcheng could do such a thing." He said hatefully.
Liang Huanxue looked up at his father who was like a complaining woman, and said helplessly: "Dad, you have said it ten times."
Liang Yuanwang was very upset. "This is clearly a trap they had set long ago, waiting for us to fall into it!"
"Old Four, this is not your fault. It is obvious that they are bullying us too much. There is no need to fight with them for such a small piece of land. Since they want it, just take it. I want to see what kind of gold, silver and jewelry they can grow on that piece of land."
Liang Yuanliang gently patted his youngest child's shoulder to comfort him.
"This is not just a matter of one piece of land, brother. People are bullying us. Are we really going to just put up with it?" Liang Yuanshan didn't want to swallow his anger.
The Liang family had never been bullied like this before.
What’s more, the person who bullied them was Wu Hongcheng.
He must go to Wu Hongcheng and make things clear!
"Third brother, you also know that after Wu Hongcheng married his current wife, he is no longer the reasonable man he used to be. You should go find him.
Apart from quarreling with him, what else can we do? Less trouble is worse than more trouble." Liang Yuanwen also didn't think there was anything to argue about.
