Chapter 149 Shen Nanzhi Returns to His Hometown
Lin Xueqing had a hundred coins, or one or two taels of silver, and followed Jiang Dawang's cousin Jiang Dayou to the town and took a ox cart to the county town.
Village chief Jiang also has a cow at home, but Zhao doesn't dare to drive the ox cart away to them. What if the cow is sold?
This is the most valuable thing in the house.
A cow is very valuable, and an adult bull can be sold for thirty taels of silver. This cow was bought by Village Chief Jiang using his position as village chief and the subsidy from the county government for five taels of silver. He has been raising it with great care until it has grown to this size, which is not easy.
Lin Xueqing didn't dare to take the ox cart, otherwise Zhao would tear her face off.
As soon as she left, Shen Nanzhi and Shen Desheng appeared in the village, causing the villagers to look at them as if they were facing an enemy. "Ms. Shen, what are you doing here?"
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm not a village bully. I never bully anyone. When have you ever seen me bully you by relying on my strength?"
Everyone in the village breathed a sigh of relief and shook their heads, embarrassed to look at her. Although Shen Nanzhi was very strong and looked sturdy, and could kill a cow with one punch, he did have a very good character, even a little cowardly, otherwise he would not have been bullied by the Jiang family and moved out to live in a thatched hut.
"So what are you doing here?"
"I want to sell Hunter Chen's house and land. I'm no longer a member of this village, so there's no need to keep these things."
Everyone still couldn't believe it. Was Hunter Chen really going to move away and leave the village?
Shen Nanzhi found their expressions funny. "Village Chief Jiang is about to dig up my brother Chen's ancestral grave. He is capable of doing such a sinister thing. How can my brother Chen dare to stay in such a village?
But you ladies, please be careful, you may be the next one, so be careful when choosing the village chief."
The villagers' eyes flickered. Let's elect another village chief. Maybe their own master can do it?
"Is it true that the village chief can't come back?"
Some people still find it hard to believe that the village chief who has been in charge of the village for more than 20 years is just gone like that?
I also became more wary of Shen Nanzhi.
"He has committed so many sins that it would be hard for him to become the village chief even if he came back. Is it so easy to get a job in the county government?
You guys chat, I'll go talk to the village head aunt and ask her if she's interested in buying those lands."
"Buy from her?"
"Except for her, no one in the village can afford ten acres of land. The house is not worth much, and the land is worth three or five taels of silver. But ten acres of land is worth at least hundreds of taels of silver. Except for the village head, who among you can afford it?"
Someone shouted, "Mr. Jiang's family must have it."
Apart from the village chief's family, Jiang Chen's family is the richest, and everyone in the village knows it.
This is exactly the effect Shen Nanzhi wanted. Seeing that the villagers had fallen into a ditch, he continued, "Yes, Mr. Jiang's family is so wealthy. He compensated my family with silver before and asked the villagers to sell their land to pay him back. The villagers suffered a lot of losses. Maybe his family even made a fortune. He is indeed a scholar with many ideas.
You guys continue chatting, I'll go to the village chief's house to ask, to put an end to it once and for all, I won't come to this village again, I don't have any good memories of it."
The villagers could not help feeling ashamed, and many of them fell silent after hearing her words, especially those families who had lost their land. They all had gloomy faces and looked extremely ugly.
Shen Nanzhi's words filled the village with a depressing atmosphere. When Jiang's mother went out to chat with people, she felt that everyone was looking at her strangely.
It's no longer the respect that was accompanied by flattery as before, but now it is full of scrutiny, suspicion, and dissatisfaction.
"What's going on? Did something happen? Why do you all have these expressions?"
Aunt Hu, who had accompanied Shen Nanzhi into the city, looked at her strangely, "Mother Jiang Chen, why are you asking this? The village chief has been arrested, aren't you worried?"
Jiang's mother's face was stiff. "Of course I am worried, but I am a woman and can't help. What's the point of worrying?"
Aunt Hu: "You can go and accompany the village chief's wife. The village chief is in this situation today because of your Jiang Chen."
Mother Jiang smiled awkwardly: "You can't say that. He is an elder, and it is his duty to help the younger generation. But I am just about to go over and take a look."
"Then you should go quickly. Sister Zhao has cried so much that her eyes are swollen. The third son is scared and the second son is sick. If you don't go to help now, when will you go?"
Jiang's mother had no choice but to call her sons to go to the village chief's house to take a look. If they didn't go, it would seem that their family was too cold-blooded.
Aunt Hu smiled sarcastically. The people in Jiang Chen's family are even worse than the village chief. They are selfish and cold-blooded. They only take advantage of others and never suffer any loss. If the village chief knew that they were so cold-hearted, would he regret helping Jiang Chen?
Of course, Jiang's mother regretted it at this time, and she regretted it to the point of anger, not because of the village chief, but because of Shen Nanzhi.
When she walked in and saw the graceful Shen Nanzhi standing in the yard, she almost didn't recognize her. If her facial features weren't familiar, how could this plump and tall woman with glowing white skin be her former daughter-in-law?
Zhao had a gloomy face and said nothing. Shen Nanzhi wanted to sell Chen the hunter's land and house to him for only one hundred taels of silver. How did she come up with this idea?
She has taken her own man to the county government office, and he wants to tear her apart. How can she still buy the land of Chen the Hunter?
Shen Nanzhi was not in a hurry, waiting for her to think slowly, "Auntie Village Chief, if you don't buy it, I can sell this land to someone else, such as my ex-husband's family. I believe they can afford the money.
Although Brother Chen's land is of inferior quality, it is close to the river. He is just not good at farming. If he takes good care of it, it would be a great luck if these fields can be grown into superior quality.
The first person I thought of for such a good opportunity was you, Aunt Zhao."
"What's your good intention?"
Shen Nanzhi looked innocent: "Aunt Zhao really wronged me. I have always been a person who never offends others. You might as well find out your own reasons, calm down, don't be impulsive, and don't make things difficult for anyone, not for money. Don't you think this makes sense?"
Shen Desheng felt a little sorry for Zhao, seeing her breathing heavily with anger in her eyes. Why did Nan Zhi have to provoke her?
He has a very bad heart, but his badness is kind of cute.
Zhao did have some silver, and she could take out a hundred taels. It was the stolen money that the village chief had divided up, and it was originally left for her eldest grandson to use for his studies.
But I don’t need it now. My eldest grandson is still studying in a private school. It will take a few years for him to go to school in the county town. It’s not a loss to buy the land. I can earn it back in a few years.
At worst, you can sell it when you need it. There is never enough land for farming and no one will complain about having too much land.
Shen Nanzhi was waiting for her to make a decision. As the village chief's wife, Zhao had more experience than ordinary village women. She would make the right choice based on what she had seen and heard.
Just then, Jiang's mother came in with her son and daughter-in-law. Shen Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, isn't this my ex-mother-in-law and ex-sister-in-law? Long time no see. I'm really disappointed that you're still living like this."
