Chapter 226 The plight of the little aunt's family
Looking at the extremely simple houses with bare walls around him, Lin Chen suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
His sister-in-law's family situation was already in such dire straits, but he didn't know it. This was really his fault.
At this moment, Yang Xiaofeng grabbed two glasses filled with water and placed them on the table.
"Brother Lin Chen, and this eldest brother, drink water."
Lin Chen picked up a stool and placed it next to him, then patted it and motioned for Yang Xiaofeng to sit down.
"Xiaofeng, tell me, what is going on? Why is my sister-in-law's house like this? Where are my sister-in-law and uncle? Why are you alone at home? Today is still Wednesday, right? Why don't you go to school?"
Lin Chen had many questions in his mind that he wanted answers to, and Yang Xiaofeng seemed to have many things to talk about.
Therefore, after Lin Chen opened his mouth, Yang Xiaofeng poured out everything like pouring beans.
It turned out that not long after Lin Chen lost contact with Dalong Village, Lin Chen's sister-in-law and her family got into big trouble.
Lin Chen's sister-in-law's family is in the freight business, and they are always on the road. Although they make a lot of money, they are also very hard-working.
One day, when they were spending the night in a rest area on the highway, they unexpectedly encountered an oil thief. In desperation, Lin Chen's uncle chased the oil thief onto the highway. As a result, the oil thief was hit and killed by a car.
Because of this incident, Uncle Lin Chen was sued by the family of the oil thief. Although the other party was clearly at fault, the court still sentenced their family to compensate the oil thief's family hundreds of thousands.
Misfortune never comes singly. Because of this accident, my sister-in-law's freight business also faced a claim from the merchant due to delay and default, which cost at least hundreds of thousands.
In just an instant, the family collapsed due to huge financial pressure.
In order to compensate for the money, they first used up their savings, but the savings were not enough to compensate, so they had to borrow money from the villagers. In this way, one family borrowed money from another, and finally borrowed a total of 300,000 yuan, but they were still short of it, so they had to borrow money day and night.
Make money by working outside.
And not only my sister-in-law and Lin Chen's uncle were working part-time, but Yang Xiaofeng's life was also affected because she had no money to pay tuition.
The only reason why she stayed at home today was not to skip classes, but because Yang Xiaofeng had dropped out of school and she could not go anywhere except staying at home.
"Is there such a thing? Why don't you come to me?" Lin Chen asked.
Yang Xiaofeng said: "Dad has mentioned that he wants to ask brother Lin Chen for help, but mom disagrees and says that you don't have any money and can't cause you any trouble."
Lin Chen shook his head. He still remembered that when his mother was ill, his sister-in-law's family gave him 50,000 yuan, so it was completely reasonable for them to come over and ask for the money. How could they say it was causing trouble?
?
By the way...
Thinking of this, Lin Chen suddenly thought of a question: "Xiao Feng, you said that my sister-in-law and uncle borrowed money from the village? When did those people be so kind that they would lend you money? When something happened to my family, didn't they get nothing?
"
Yang Xiaofeng said: "Brother Lin Chen, my mother said the same thing as you, but my father said that people in the village are all relatives and neighbors after all. Maybe they were sorry about what happened to your family back then, so they showed kindness this time...
But I didn’t expect that it didn’t take long for my parents to find out the real reason why these people lent us money!”
It turns out that the people in Dalong Village did not change their minds and change their minds.
They lent money to Yang Xiaofeng's family, but they actually had another purpose.
And this purpose is also very depressing.
The house of Yang Xiaofeng's family is their real goal, and the more fundamental reason is that Dalong Village is going to be demolished!
"Demolition? Dalong Village?" Lin Chen was stunned.
"Why have I never heard of what happened when? It's just our Dalong Village. What can we do if it's demolished?"
"Just recently, I heard someone say that a developer seems to have taken a fancy to the scenery here and wants to demolish the village and turn it into a resort. I'm afraid the demolition fees will be a lot of money."
Lin Chen gradually understood.
The mountain forest in Dalong Village is really good in terms of scenery.
The mountains here are so continuous that they look like a dragon from a distance, hence the nickname Dalong Mountain.
The name of Dalong Village also comes from this.
Judging from the area near Dalong Mountain, the location of Dalong Village is the flattest on the entire mountain. It was for this reason that Dalong Village established its foothold here.
So if someone wants to develop a resort in the mountains, Dalong Village is indeed the best choice.
From a poor mountain village to a future resort development site, the people in Dalong Village also got lucky and received a windfall.
But it is in this context that some people become greedy.
Before the news of the demolition was confirmed, some people in the village knew about the demolition in advance because of their wide connections and well-informed information.
In order to get more demolition fees, these people started to make dirty plans.
The resort pays demolition fees based on the area of the house. The more houses there are in the village, the more demolition money you get.
But the houses in Dalong Village all have their own owners. Once every household knows that the house is going to be demolished, it is naturally impossible for them to agree to sell their houses.
So these people came up with dirty ideas, and my sister-in-law's family, who happened to be in urgent need of money, became their target.
These people gave generously when they borrowed money and lent the money generously. But while borrowing the money, they also put forward conditions and required the sister-in-law's family to take out the house as a mortgage.
The house in Dalong Village is just a brick house. How much is it worth? My sister-in-law’s family didn’t know about the demolition at first, so they agreed without much hesitation.
But a few months later, when word of the demolition reached the village, they finally realized that they had been deceived.
As soon as the news of the demolition came out, the people who had borrowed the money were furious and demanded that they move out of their homes immediately.
Lin Chen's sister-in-law didn't agree, so they directly took out the IOU and asked them to either pay back the money immediately or move.
As for what my sister-in-law said about paying back the demolition money once she gets it...
Haha, are you kidding? Now that the house belongs to them, of course they should get the demolition money! At the worst, they can also forgive the money owed by their sister-in-law from the demolition money. As for the extra money... I'm sorry, this
It’s the interest they deserve!
When Lin Chen heard this, he sneered at the corner of his mouth.
He had been outside a lot, so he had naturally heard of similar things, but he never expected that such a thing would happen to him, to his sister-in-law.
The whole thing was a drama of taking advantage of people's danger from beginning to end, and it must have involved some special issues, such as how did those people know in advance that this place was going to be demolished?
