Therefore, the old village chief does not have to work in the fields, but he also has a restless temper. Today, he plans to go outside the village to cut some grass and feed the rabbits at home.
The old village chief now realizes that raising rabbits is indeed a good business. Rabbits are easy to raise, have strong reproductive capabilities, and grow very fast. So a few years ago, Gong Jian gave the old village chief 20 rabbits.
After breeding rabbits, the old village chief seriously raised these breeding rabbits, and now the number of rabbits has doubled.
The old village chief even distributed these rabbits to several sons who were able to take care of them. There were not so many left at home. But every day, the village chief still took care of these rabbits seriously, and he would go out every few days.
Cut some grass for the rabbit.
Today, before he left the village, he found a group of people gathered in front of Uncle Gong Jian's house, making a lot of noise, and he couldn't hear what they were saying. But judging from the angry expressions on those people's faces, it was obviously not a good thing.
.
No matter what, the old village chief did not want to see conflicts in his village, so he had no choice but to go over and stop their quarrel, hoping that they would make things clear.
Although the old village chief did not see Uncle Gong Jian who was controlled by the two men, he listened for a few times outside. Those people were shouting in various directions, but he couldn't make out the general idea. Only then did he speak out,
I want to stop these people from continuing to make noise. I just want to find out the cause of the matter.
When the old village chief came from behind, he discovered that Uncle Gong Jian was in the hands of the two young men. At this time, he had almost collapsed to the ground. The two men originally just wanted to grab his arms.
, to prevent him from escaping, but now it turns out that the two of them had to hold Uncle Gong Jian up to force him to stand there.
Only then did the village chief notice who the two families who had the conflict were. One of them was Uncle Gong Jian, and the other was Wang San's family.
Now, almost the whole family of Wang San's family has gathered here. Not only the young and strong laborers of the family, but also the old, young, women and children of the family have gathered here.
It's no wonder that there was so much noise just now. You have to know that the population of Wang San's family is really large, not to mention the men, but also a lot of women and children. At this time, the whole family is out, and these women are shouting in high or low voices,
It's not that people can't hear clearly what exactly happened. At this time, seeing the old village chief come out to preside over the scene, both families became quiet.
Uncle Gong Jian was able to stand still. He was stunned for a while, looking at the village chief with grateful and expectant eyes, just waiting for the village chief to come and seek justice for him. He didn't understand how the three members of the Wang family had been tricked.
All evil spirits come to run wild in their own homes.
As soon as they came up, they asked the two young men to arrest him. Not to mention, those women were howling in his ears just now, so that he didn't even understand what was going on, and his courage was almost broken.
Already.
The village chief seemed to have calmed down now, so he couldn't help but ask: "What is going on between you two families? There is such a big commotion."
The wife of Wang San's family was the first to speak, but she started crying: "Village chief, you have to make the decision for us. This murderer is going to cut off our family's livelihood."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she began to cry. When the women next to her saw her like this, they immediately came to help her. There was a lot of crying and shouting for a while.
The village chief also had a headache. He just wanted to figure out what kind of conflict the two families were having. If he were not the village chief, he would really be too lazy to pay attention to such a family. He would call someone with a louder voice as soon as they came up.
That makes sense, he couldn't help but said loudly again: "Okay, don't cry anymore, you have something to say. If you keep doing this, I won't be bothered to listen."
As soon as the village chief said this, the women quickly shut up. They didn't dare to continue crying and howling. After finally waiting for such a person who could make the decision, they didn't dare to offend easily.
Wang San glared at his mother-in-law. Then he walked over, saluted the village chief, and then said: "Village Chief, it's like this. You also know that our family has a large population and we don't have enough land. We don't have enough land.
For the past few years, our family has been renting the five acres of land from Zhonggong Boss and his family.
We pay ten taels of rent every year, and it is never less than less, and we dare not pay it a day late. But just today, a few people suddenly came from the village, holding the title deed of three acres of land in their hands, and told us
These three acres of land already belong to them.
They want to take away the land, but we have already cleared it and planted the seeds, which have sprouted. What should we do?"
After saying this, the older man was also a little jealous. He glared at Uncle Gong Jian angrily and continued to say to the village chief: "If their family wants to sell their land, they should notify us in advance. In the spring, we will sell the three acres
It would be nice if the land was freed up and no longer cultivated. But now that the seedlings have grown, the land has belonged to someone else, so all our hard work in the spring has been in vain.
Moreover, those three acres of land were used to grow our family's food rations, and they were all gone in vain. Now, at this time, let us rent land to grow crops from whichever family we go to. Doesn't this mean that our family will go hungry again? "
After saying that, the man was already very angry. The village chief turned to Uncle Gong Jian with some confusion. He knew that the Gong family's five acres of land was also famous in the village. The five acres of land had a good harvest.
For five acres of land, Wang San's family, who were also peddlers, gritted their teeth and agreed to pay the high rent.
The actual situation of her family is like this. The family has a large population and little land. They usually rent other people's land to barely harvest the food the family needs. If they were asked to directly use the money to buy food, the family would probably have already
There is no way to continue.
It was because of this situation that when Uncle Gong Jian proposed that if he wanted to rent the five acres of land, he would need to pay a rent of ten taels of silver every year. Others were hesitant, but the family gritted their teeth and agreed to this condition.
.
Their family has a large population and a lot of labor. If the whole family works together, as long as the land is good, the harvest will naturally be better. In this way, the family can actually meet the food problem.
Knowing the cause and effect of this matter, the village chief couldn't help but ask Uncle Gong Jian again. "Boss of the Gong family, tell me, was it you who sold the three acres of land? Why didn't you say hello to Wang San's family in advance?
.”
After hearing what Wang San said just now, Uncle Gong Jian knew why this family came to his door. (To be continued)
