150 Forget It Then (1)
“It’s fine. Let’s go over and take a look at the situation before making a decision.” Ye Xuan stood up and was about to go over.
The village chief and mayor followed behind nervously. They also felt very helpless.
This was supposed to be a good thing, but someone actually caused trouble here.
Sigh, if such a good thing was ruined, let’s see how these people would stay in this village in the future.
They had been following Ye Xuan’s men up and down for the past two days. In the end, those people were like rocks in a latrine pit, hard and stiff.
At this moment, on the east side of the village, a few farmers were holding their farming tools in a defensive posture. They faced many of Ye Xuan’s men and were ready to fight to the death if his men dared to touch their houses.
Many villagers had already surrounded them and were persuading them kindly.
“Aiyo, what are you guys doing! It’s clearly a good thing, why are you guys making a fuss?”
“You’re really lacking in virtue! Can’t you all stop talking and sit down to talk? You even brought out the murder weapons. Are you going to stop after killing someone?”
“Forget it, it’s useless no matter what we say! The village chief and the mayor went to talk to them one by one. Which of them relented? It’s just that they were blinded and went crazy!”
“They’ve all seen the world outside, but I don’t think they’re as sensible as the old men and women in our village!”
At this moment, Ye Xuan and the rest also arrived at the event location. When Ye Xuan’s men saw him coming over, they all retracted their postures and greeted Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan waved his hand at them, indicating that they did not need to be so polite. Then, he asked, “What’s wrong? What are you doing?”
The person-in-charge of the area walked out and said respectfully to Ye Xuan, “It’s like this, Chairman. We talked to them according to your request and explained the details of the compensation to them clearly. Their families happily agreed previously but they suddenly changed their minds today. They said that this is their ancestral home and they won’t allow it to be demolished. From the looks of it, they’re probably going to stay here and raise the price.”
“Oh,” replied Ye Xuan. He thought it was something amazing.
It was fine if they didn’t sign the agreement, but why did they have to be so hostile?
There was no need.
They would sit down and have a good talk. If it didn’t work out, then forget it.
Anyway, this was not the location of the gold mine, so it did not matter.
Meanwhile, the person-in-charge felt very bitter.
The villagers in the other districts were very cooperative and signed the agreement early.
There were only old people in the few families here. Although the old people were happy, they felt that it was necessary to discuss it with their children, so they delayed it until yesterday.
Yesterday, when the children from the families arrived home, the person-in-charge personally came to tell them the relevant policies and compensation details. They even agreed at that time.
Unexpectedly, when he brought the contracts and staff to the door today, these people directly made a fuss.
They took out their hoes and shovels, looking like they were going to fight them to the death.
The person-in-charge didn’t want to be in a state of mutual hostility, but if he didn’t show an imposing manner, their staff might get injured too.
He could not bear this responsibility.
The more the person-in-charge thought about it, the angrier he became.
This was really a poor village that produced unruly people!
This was simply a good thing to have such good things fall into their laps!
These bastards were about to starve to death. Yet, they even felt that the pie was not filling enough!
They deserved to die of poverty!
The village chief stood timidly behind the mayor, not even wanting to show his face.
These villagers did not care about him at all.
When he went to mediate the conflict, those people looked at him from the corner of their eyes. They looked down on the village chief as if the village chief had done something treasonous.
Not only was the village chief not respected, even the mayor was not treated with respect at all.
When the mayor went to their house as a guest, they already knew what the mayor meant by coming. The women in the house deliberately swept the floor beside the mayor, causing dust to fly.
The mayor almost choked to death.
Before closing the door, they even told the mayor that before the demolition matter was settled, their families had to clean up and it was not convenient for them to meet guests.
In other words, even if he came, he would still be served with a big broom.
Ye Xuan called the village chief to his side and asked softly, “What’s the relationship between these families? They seem to live quite close.”
The courtyards of a few families were connected and were located in the eastern corner of the village.
The village chief immediately replied, “They’re all cousins and can be considered a big family. They’re closely related and are very close to one another.”
Ye Xuan nodded. It was no wonder they could work together. They were relatives.
Those families all recognized Ye Xuan. They had heard from their families that the big boss who wanted to acquire their village was an eight or nine-year-old child.
Now that they saw Ye Xuan whispering to the village chief, how could they not be sure of Ye Xuan’s identity?
The few middle-aged men quickly exchanged glances. Ye Xuan happened to be observing them and caught the smugness in their eyes.
They did not want to negotiate with these useless troops. It was useless. They could not make the decision at all.
Even the village chief and mayor were the same.
They were just cooperating with the big boss’s work. They weren’t the ones paying for it. It was just wishful thinking to talk about it.
Now that the big boss was out, it meant that the big boss valued their village.
“Ahem, you’re the boss who wants to expropriate our houses, right? Let me tell you, this is our family’s ancestral home. It’s our lifeblood. We definitely won’t demolish it.” A middle-aged man stood up and shook the hammer in his hand as he spoke.
