553 Disgruntled Vigers


    "Their family contracted thend of the vige, and their yield reached a million dors per acre. However, the rent they gave the vige was about 200 dors per acre."


    "The difference is too big," someone said with a slightly indignant expression. "The yield is more than a million per acre, but the rent for everyone is only 200 dors. Isn''t this exploitation?"


    "That''s right. However, we don''t care how thend in their vige is rented. But now, even thend in our vige has been expropriated. Thispensation price is only more than 30,000 dors. This is simply forceful buying and selling. Someone in our vige doesn''t agree, so someonees to persuade us every other day. If the persuasion doesn''t seed, will they get a group of hooligans to our house to smash things?"


    "That''s right. Our vige is also worried about this problem. Therefore, our vige elected a few representatives to ask the Shi family what''s the meaning of this. Why should the Shi family nt vegetables and theirpany expand by taking back the fields we rely on to survive? Isn''t this forcing us to death?"


    "But will this work? I heard that it''s all the work of the government personnel. The Shi family and their niece didn''t show up at all. Besides, if the government personnel show up, it means that the country has ordered us to give up ournd. We can''t do anything about it."


    Someone said disdainfully, "Hmph, the personnel came out. Isn''t it just because that niece of the Shi family is cooperating with the personnel? For the sake of their political achievements, how these personnel will consider the lives of themoners?"


    "Shh, you can''t say that casually. The personnel of the government represents the country. Do you think the country will not consider the people when doing things? Moreover, this time, the country has expropriated dozens of miles of viges and millions of acres. Also, I heard that the government is nning to build a navel orange industrial area in Pingyang County to attract tourists from all over the country. This is a great thing."


    A viger frowned and said in confusion, "But even if they build a navel orange industrial area and promote tourism, it has nothing to do with us. The Shi family and Gu Qingming will be the ones benefiting."


    "That''s right, that''s right. What has this got to do with us? All I know now is that our fields and mountains are going to be forcibly taken back. If thisnd is taken back, our descendants won''t have these things in the future. What will happen when they get old?"


    "That''s right. Even if we don''t think for ourselves, we have to think for our descendants. Although there''spensation for taking back thisnd, it''s only a smallpensation. As long as we keep thesends, we can create wealth for our descendants."


    "That''s right. Take this navel orange for example. The ie of an acre of navel orange now is close to 40,000 dors. This year''s ie has exceeded thepensation. Who would be willing to give it back?"


    …


    The representatives of the vige gathered at the entrance of the Shi family almost at the same time.


    Other than those who went to school, all the members of the Shi family, old and young, went to the greenhouse to help.


    Even Little Orange was carried to the greenhouse to y.


    Second Aunt and Eldest Sister-inw stayed to cook at home.


    There were more than 20 people in the family, so the two of them were a little busy.


    Fortunately, they were all family, so they were not so particr about food. They only made a few home-cooked dishes.


    However, with Second Aunt''s culinary skills, even if it was simple home-cooked food, it was still very delicious. In addition, the ingredients were different, so it was even more delicious.


    Eldest Sister-inw was washing vegetables in the courtyard when arge group of people suddenly walked over.


    She knew some of them but the rest were unfamiliar to her.


    Eldest Sister-inw was shocked!


    "Uncle, why are you here?!" Sister-inw looked at an uncle she knew in the crowd. He was from her family!


    The middle-aged man who was addressed as Uncle by Eldest Sister-inw said a little embarrassedly, "Xiaoyu, where are your family members?"


    Eldest Sister-inw was stunned for a moment. She said, "Everyone went out to work. You… what''s the matter? Why don''t I get my father-inw toe back?"


    Before Chen Wuqian could speak, an older middle-aged man beside him said impatiently, "Go. Call everyone in your family back, especially that person called Gu Qingming."


    At this moment, Second Aunt heard themotion and walked out of the kitchen.


    Hearing this person''s words, Second Aunt''s expression immediately turned ugly.


    She asked directly, "Uncle Li, you have to tell us why you suddenly came to my house with arge group of people, right?"


    This Uncle Li was a rtive of Second Aunt''s maternal family. Therefore, although there was not much difference in age, he was a full generation older.


    However, Second Aunt''s family did not have a good rtionship with this family.


    Uncle Li said mockingly, "Sun Xiangxiang, your inws are ck-hearted and want to earn everyone''s money. The surrounding viges are here to ask."


    Second Aunt''s expression changed. She nced at the vigers present and frowned slightly.


    She asked directly, "I wonder why everyone is saying that? How is our family ck-hearted?"


    Someone said angrily, "How are you not ck-hearted? Your niece wants to expand the scale of thepany, but more than ten surrounding viges have lost theirnd. Your family''s real estate is worth more than a million per acre. Aspensation for us, it''s only 30,000 dors per acre. If this isn''t ck-hearted, what is?"


    Eldest Sister-inw became agitated when she heard that.


    She said loudly, "The requisition of thisnd is an order issued by the country. It has nothing to do with us. If you want justice, go straight to the relevant person-in-charge. You shouldn''t have looked for us."


    "Hmph, even now, you still think that it has nothing to do with you. Alright, then call Shi Tie Tou, Shi Lichun, and the others back. Oh, and call your good niece, Gu Qingming, back. Let her give everyone an exnation as to why she wants to take ournd when herpany is expanding. What are we going to do in the future after ournd has been taken away? Are we going to stop doing anything after taking 30,000 dors? Are we going to sit and wait to eat our fill? Without thesends that we rely on to survive, what are our descendants going to do? Not to mention our grandchildren, even our sons are still young and can work outside. But what if they get old? Can they still continue to work? Which factory dares to recruit some old bones?"


    Just as Eldest Sister-inw was about to argue, Second Aunt said to her, "It''s impossible to reason with them now. Call your father and Mingming and ask them toe back."


    When Eldest Sister-inw heard this, she nodded and said, "Okay."


    Second Aunt said to everyone, "I''ll call them back now. If anything happenster, everything will be fine. Don''t quarrel and stir a big fight. We still have children at home. They won''t be able to take the scare."
