Chapter 174 Conflict
The people of Qili Village didn't expect that their village chief would be so polite. It would have been fine if the other party just disagreed, but he was so ruthless.
The group of people were dumbfounded and extremely angry but didn't know how to fight back.
Mr. Jiang's brows turned cold, and he quickly asked, "If we don't bother each other, it won't do any harm to you. If you want me to leave, please show me the land deed.
Otherwise, why should we wait for this unowned land in the wilderness and leave?"
"Besides, we are farmers, not lowly people!"
Mr. Jiang stood at the front, looking up at the two people above.
The villagers behind reacted and immediately echoed: "Yes, what right do you have to call us lowly? And what right do you have to drive us away?"
“How about you show us the deed to this mountain, and we’ll leave without saying anything;
Otherwise, if you defeat us, we will leave as we are not as skilled as you!"
Shen Qing knew that the land that was reclaimed belonged to the person who reclaimed it after paying money and obtaining a land deed, and that he would have to pay taxes every year. However, it was impossible and impossible to own a mountain, especially a deep mountain that stretched for dozens of miles.
Which mountain doesn’t have dozens of hunters and villagers who rely on the mountain for their livelihood?
If it were owned by individuals, wouldn't all these hunters and villagers be driven away?
Therefore, the two people above could not produce the land deeds at all.
This is really unreasonable but also very arrogant.
She raised her eyes to look at the two people above, and saw that the old woman dodged with obvious guilt, and finally spoke: "This is where we came first, so it naturally belongs to us.
We don't need you to fight our enemies together, nor do we need to exchange what we have with you. If you still have any dignity, you should find another place!"
Shen Qing: .....Sure enough, there is no title deed.
The other party was an old woman, and her words were unreasonable. Mr. Jiang was not in a position to argue, so Granny Qin stepped forward and asked reasonably, "Are you saying that we are shameless? If you don't know, you would think this is your exclusive family property!
"Whoever arrived first gets it. Does that make sense?" "Alright, that's fine. Just now, the man from our village said, 'If we win, we'll leave.' Since this is unowned territory, it's fair to resolve it by force, right?"
The old woman's face changed with anger, but she also knew that what the other party said was the most common and fair way.
But, "You are a bunch of rough people! You only know how to solve problems with force. Get out! All of you, get out!"
The other side had 160 to 170 people, including 50 to 60 men in their prime. The dozen or so people on our side had no chance of winning at all.
There was no way she would agree to resort to force, but it was also impossible for her to stay!
Zhao Mingyue stepped forward quickly and said loudly, "Again, we can just leave. Show us the deed to prove that this place belongs to you. Otherwise, why do you keep asking us to leave?"
Zheng Hui echoed, "You won't produce the land deed, and you're not willing to resort to force. All you do is call us inferior. Why should I listen to you?"
The old woman pursed her lips and repeated, "We were here first. In this wilderness, whoever arrives first gets first served!"
The younger group was also unhappy. Feng Xing stepped forward and asked, "Hey, old lady, you came here first and occupied the land. We didn't fight or fight over it. Now this unowned land down there is unclaimed. You haven't built a house or even reclaimed it. It's lying here, so why can't we use it?"
"It's impossible that all the places you see belong to you, right?" Hong Hehua asked.
The old woman's eyes widened with anger, and she turned to the two younger people and scolded them, "You have no manners!
I came here first, so naturally it belongs to me. Even the land before it is reclaimed is mine. How can you say that it is only what I see? This is where I live!"
The people of Qili Village didn't expect to encounter such an unreasonable person.
After all the talk, we are back to the starting point. The old woman insisted that it belonged to her since she came first.
Now there are only two options. One is to stay, but the old woman thinks that if they force their way in, they will inevitably quarrel in the future.
The second option was to retreat in disgrace, but the argument had already begun, and retreating now would seem like they were wrong.
But if they insisted, it would be bad if someone died - it's not that they were worried about their side, but after all, they were there later, and it would be unacceptable to hurt the other side by relying on their numbers.
In the gap between the two sides, a cheerful voice came: "What's the difference between first come and last come? As long as the people are nice and the space is open, it's fine!"
In the quiet forest, there was originally only the rustling of leaves and weeds in the wind, but now the man's hearty laughter broke the dull confrontation.
Everyone on both sides looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a burly man standing among the tall trees and vines in the lush green woods opposite the old woman.
His skin was tanned by the sun, and his rough face had a resolute expression. He wore straw sandals and the common linen clothes covered with patches. He looked sturdy and powerful.
The soft morning sunlight shone on him through the gaps between the leaves and vines, making him seem softer.
The people of Qili Village became even more favorable towards him after hearing this!
The old woman and the guard opposite changed their expressions.
Shen Qing watched carefully, wondering why the old woman was so confident when facing their group of people just now, but was obviously much more timid when facing the rough country man opposite her?
The old woman pleaded earnestly, "Dafu, how do you know they're good people? We don't know them, and it would be dangerous to let them in rashly. It would be wonderful if only we could live here peacefully and comfortably, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
When the people of Qili Village heard the old woman's words of persuasion, they became anxious and were about to defend themselves when they heard the man above them, known as Dafu, speak calmly: "Grandma Cao, I think they are right.
After they came, they reclaimed the wasteland and did not affect us. They could fight the enemy together with us and we could also share what we had. We grow vegetables, but we have to go outside the mountains to exchange for food. With them, won’t we not have to work hard to exchange food outside in the future?
Moreover, there were hundreds of them and there were only two of you. When you quarreled, they didn't force anyone to fight. They were reasonable people.
I see they are very polite and I don’t understand why you don’t let them stay.”
Everyone in Qili Village wants to cheer for this man!
It turns out that he had been there the whole time, observing them secretly, and only came out to help after confirming that they were doing well. You couldn't tell that there was a delicate heart beneath his rough appearance.
"You hunters in the mountains are naive. How could you possibly know how dangerous people outside are? They can't stay. I'm the oldest here, and I have the final say!" Grandma Cao said angrily.
Lei Dafu looked over, neither angry nor annoyed, and said calmly: "Grandma Cao, that's not what you said to them just now.
You said you came here first so this place belongs to you, you have the final say;
Now, I, who have lived in this mountain with my ancestors, say that you are old and you have the final say;
I can't let you take all the benefits, right?"
When people heard the words "our ancestors have lived in this mountain for generations", Qili Village went crazy!
They whispered to each other, "No wonder these two looked uncomfortable when they saw him. After all, she was a latecomer."
"He pretends to be a native with us, and then he takes advantage of his age in front of the real boss. He really has it both ways!"
