After Wu called me over, he said in a serious tone: "Xiao Chen, your disease... I may not be able to cure you."
I was shocked, and after being stunned for a long time, I asked in confusion: "Mr. Wu, why...why?"
"I have offended someone! They will definitely not make it easy for me. We have to move."
"Who? Who did you offend?"
Mr. Wu said solemnly: "That's Chen Zhengwen who came to propose marriage today. He will definitely not give up, so... we have to move."
I asked a little puzzled: "Mr. Wu, I don't quite understand, why did you offend him? Is it because you don't agree with the land development?"
"That's not the main reason."
Mr. Wu paused for a moment, then looked back into the main room, then sighed and said, "It's because I don't agree with my daughter marrying into their Chen family."
I immediately laughed and said, "Does that mean I offend him if I don't agree?"
"Yes, the Chen family has a good reputation in our village. If I offend them, there will definitely be no good consequences in the future."
I smiled again and said, "Mr. Wu, don't worry about this. I don't think the Chen family has anything to be afraid of. Isn't it just that they don't agree with Nan Xing marrying into their Chen family? Is it possible that they can still rob someone by force these days?"
"You're really right. The Chen family in our Miao village is just like the local emperor. It's not surprising that Chen Zhengwen is here. The main reason is his father Chen Jingming."
"Is this the old man who came with us today?"
"Yeah." Mr. Wu nodded.
"Isn't he the old secretary in the village?"
"It's the old secretary. Our Wu family has always had a bad relationship with the Chen family. This goes back decades ago. At that time, I was still young. Our Wu family was the big landowner in the village. The Chen family worked as long-term workers in our Wu family. At that time,
My sister-in-law has just turned sixteen... The night before she got married, she was humiliated by the drunk Chen family worker, and she hanged herself that night... Since then, our Chen family and Wu family have been at odds with each other."
Mr. Wu said, suddenly paused, and sighed heavily and said: "Until the country began to comprehensively clean up the landlords and chaebols, my old man was also caught as a typical example, and our Wu family declined because of this... The current old man of the Chen family is Chen.
Jing Ming, he served as a soldier and went to the Korean battlefield, and when he came back, the superiors made him the secretary. From then on, our Wu family never had a good life."
After listening to what Mr. Wu said, I realized that the Chen and Wu families had such deep grievances.
But if that's the case, then why did the Chen family come to propose marriage?
After being silent for a while, I asked Mr. Wu: "If that's the case, then why did the Chen family come to propose marriage again? Aren't you enemies?"
"They are enemies, but the Chen family has never been from our Miao family. They have always been outsiders. The Chen family has also always wanted to establish a relationship with our Wu family so that they could settle into a family... There is no way I can agree. I really treat my little daughter so badly."
If I marry into his Chen family, I will have no shame to face my ancestors."
I finally knew what was going on, and immediately asked Mr. Wu: "Even so, there is no need for you to leave here, right? Now that we are a legal society, what can he do to you?"
Mr. Wu lit up his pipe slowly, took a puff and then said to me: "As I said just now, the Chen family can be described as making waves in the village. Even if they can't do anything to us, our Wu family will be able to do anything to us from now on."
Things are not going well in the village either."
"Mr. Wu, I think this matter needs to be discussed. There is really no need to leave the village!"
Mr. Wu sneered and said: "That's not necessary? Do you know that almost all the land in the village belongs to the Chen family? Do you know that if you live in the village, you have to make a living by farming? The Chen family has a hundred ways to do it.
If our Wu family cannot survive in the village, will we die if we don't leave?"
"Are you saying that almost all the land in the village belongs to the Chen family?"
"Yes, half of the land we farm now belongs to the Chen family. Do you understand now?"
I nodded to show that I understood, and after being silent for a while, I finally said: "Mr. Wu, I don't think you need to be anxious about this. I may have a way."
"What can you do about this?"
"Let me give it a try. You probably don't want to move out of the village, right?"
Mr. Wu smiled and said to me immediately: "Okay, if you can solve this problem, I will treat your disease wholeheartedly and ensure that you live a few more years without any problem."
I also smiled and said, "Okay, but Mr. Wu, this may require your cooperation."
"How can I cooperate with you?"
I walked closer to him and whispered in my ear: "I have already negotiated with Chen Zhengwen. He is not very scheming. He asked me to come back and do some work with you in order to get you to agree to this marriage."
"Impossible!" Mr. Wu said firmly.
I nodded and said: "Don't get excited yet. I have thought of a way, that is, let's promise him on the surface and whet his appetite first, and then I can have a way to deal with them, including their land. I
There are also ways to make them spit it out."
Mr. Wu looked at me in disbelief, squinted his eyes and said, "Do you really have a way?"
"Well, Mr. Wu, if you want to deal with those developers, you must find a way on the land, so we must get this land."
"Chen Zhengwen is not very scheming, but his father, Chen Jingming, is not so easy to fool!"
"It's okay. I have a solution. You just need to ask Nan Xing to cooperate with me."
"You still need Nan Xing to cooperate?"
"Yes! But don't worry, Mr. Wu, I will never let Nan Xing suffer any loss."
Mr. Wu was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, you go ahead and do it! I will cooperate with you."
With this sentence, of course I feel confident.
I immediately stood up and said to Mr. Wu: "Mr. Wu, let's cook for two more people tonight."
Mr. Wu instantly understood what I meant and asked me, "Do you want Chen Zhengwen to come to your house for dinner?"
"Mr. Wu, I know you can't stand them, but for the sake of the overall situation, I have no choice but to feel aggrieved first."
Mr. Wu raised his hand and said: "There is no grievance or grievance. What I can't stand is Chen Jingming. Let Chen Zhengwen come and do it."
"Maybe his son will come too. Please communicate with Nan Xing. Let's put on a show for them and their son."
Mr. Wu is a very smart person. As soon as I said this, he knew what I wanted to do. He immediately smiled and said, "Okay, you have a lot of clever ideas, so I will cooperate with you in the performance."
After agreeing with Mr. Wu, I went to the village and found Chen Zhengwen.
He is doing work for the villagers door to door, but it seems that many people are still unwilling to cooperate with the work. They either ask his family to take out the land for replacement, or refuse to agree.
I think Chen Zhengwen is having a hard time. He has to deal with developers while at the same time doing ideological work for so many villagers.
I called him: "Brother Chen, come here and let me tell you something."
He walked over to me and asked, "Brother Chen, what's going on?"
"Isn't this a job for you to do for my Uncle Wu? I got it through and he asked me to invite you and your son to have dinner together tonight."
When Chen Zhengwen heard this, his eyes widened instantly and he said in disbelief: "Really or not? You didn't lie to me?"
