Chapter 128: Obey
They were tricked, but since they couldn't produce any evidence, they could only swallow this loss.
"It's okay, just give it to them. Nothing will grow on that piece of land anyway." Just when the brothers were about to start a quarrel over this matter, Liang Huanxue suddenly said something.
"Huanxue, what do you mean?" All eyes immediately focused on Liang Huanxue.
"That's what I mean." Liang Huanxue smiled mysteriously and said nothing more.
In the evening, the village chief suddenly came to the door.
In his hand he held the battered and tattered volume, which looked even worse than when he had taken it out earlier.
The village chief fiddled with it for a long time, trying to restore the contents inside, but the papers became stuck even more seriously.
That's why he came here, looking for someone to help.
"Huanxue, do you have any way to restore the contents of this book?"
Liang Huanxue was still a little surprised when she heard her name. "Ask me?"
The village chief nodded and said, "You are so smart, you must be able to think of a way. I also know that I shouldn't have ruled that way before, but didn't they produce evidence? I didn't expect that as soon as I awarded the land to them, everyone else came to me. This village is about to be in chaos."
Liang Huanxue had expected this result.
After all, there were so many people watching the excitement around at that time. Cuicui easily got a piece of land by using tricks, so naturally some people would want to follow suit.
If people start to imitate this, how can there be no chaos in the village?
If an honest person gets angry and is bullied, he will bite.
"This is the only way now. As long as we can restore the contents of this booklet, we can redivide the land for each family according to the previous dividing lines, and no one will dare to make a fuss anymore." The village chief placed his last hope on Liang Huanxue.
Liang Huanxue took the booklet from him, and her hands were immediately covered with a lot of sand.
The booklet had been soaked in flood water for several days, and it was not easy to restore the contents.
"I'm afraid that even if the content is restored, there will still be people who will make trouble and accuse us of forging it." Liang Yuanwang could imagine what those people would say.
Even if we could really read the contents of this booklet again, how many people would be able to recognize it?
They will only fight to the death for their own interests.
"Let me try." Liang Huanxue asked her father to get a basin of warm water, and asked her mother to get all the scraps of cloth stored in the room.
There was a pot of warm water in the kitchen. Liang Yuanwang poured some cold water and when he felt the water was about the right temperature, he brought it over and placed it in front of her.
Shen Yuefu put the scraps of cloth aside.
Everyone's eyes were on Liang Huanxue, wanting to know how she was going to save the book.
Then they saw Liang Huanxue put the booklet into the water.
"Hey! You!" The village chief was shocked by her action.
The other members of the Liang family also took a breath of cool air.
"It's already like this, let's give it a try." Liang Huanxue replied calmly.
The village chief thought about it and agreed.
Anyway, there was no way to save this book, and he came here just to give it a try.
Even if it is really destroyed, it is not a big loss.
What's more, he vaguely felt that Liang Huanxue had her reasons for doing so.
The booklet has about fifty pages, recording the distribution of fields of more than sixty households in the village.
There are also illustrations that clearly outline the fields.
It was her second uncle who first proposed to make this booklet.
The purpose is to reduce disputes.
Who knew that this dispute would still come.
The pages of a book stick together because they were soaked by water and then dried by wind.
If you want to separate the stuck pages of a book, you have to soak it in warm water again. When the pages are separated by the water, take the book out and then put a piece of cloth between each page.
The cloth absorbs moisture and prevents the pages from sticking.
Liang Huanxue saw that the book had been almost soaked, so she picked it up, carefully separated the pages, placed the cloth in the middle of each page, and then pressed it lightly a few times to absorb the excess moisture.
Fortunately, the paper used at the beginning was relatively rough and would not be broken by a slight crumpling, so Liang Huanxue was able to handle it relatively easily.
She repeated this process dozens of times until her hands were sore and she finally separated the pages of the book with cloth.
When the cloth had almost absorbed all the moisture, Liang Huanxue placed the booklet in a ventilated place and let it dry slowly in the shade.
"Just come over tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, I'll come get it tomorrow." The village chief thanked Liang Huanxue and turned away.
After a while, Liang Huanxue pulled out the cloth between the pages of the book, spread the book open, and continued to fuck.
The Liang family members were busy with their own things, and the front yard was soon empty.
A man climbed over the wall and tiptoed toward the windowsill, trying to take the booklet that was there.
"Wu Hongcheng, I never thought you could do such a thing."
Just as the man's hand touched the edge of the book, a voice sounded in front of him.
He looked up and saw Liang Yuanshan standing in the window, looking at him with a mocking look.
Wu Hongcheng felt his whole body stiffen and his face instantly turned as red as pig liver.
He has never done anything so shameful in his life.
"Did Cuicui ask you to come? Tell me about yourself, a good man, how come you were ruined by her?" Liang Yuanshan was quite disappointed with him.
Wu Hongcheng was silent for a while before he said, "I... I was just afraid that you would tamper with the booklet."
Liang Yuanshan sneered, "I think you want to tamper with the book, right? Since you want that piece of land so much, I'll give it to you. Even if it's in this book, I'll give it to you. But I have to tell you that stolen things are not that useful."
Wu Hongcheng's face became even uglier. He wanted to defend himself, but he knew in his heart that the land was indeed not his.
"I used to treat you as a brother, but which brother would do such a thing in secret?"
Although Liang Huanxue has done her best, there are still many omissions in the booklet.
As luck would have it, the Liang family's page was also missing.
"I didn't expect that even God is on their side. There's absolutely no way we can get that piece of land back." Liang Yuanshan was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"Third brother, don't be angry with them, it's not necessary." Liang Yuanwang never thought that there would be such a coincidence in the world.
"I just can't get over it. How did Wu Hongcheng become like this?" Liang Yuanshan just couldn't bear to see such a good person being tortured into this state.
Why would he obey that woman?
"Forget it, just stay away from him from now on." Liang Yuanwang couldn't understand why Wu Hongcheng had changed like this.
But it's always a good idea to stay away from him.
Early the next morning, the village chief arrived at the Liang family.
Liang Huanxue put the processed booklet in his hand.
"A few pages are damaged, but the rest are legible. If there are any disputes among those parties, let them produce evidence to resolve them."
