<h4>Chapter 319: The Reason</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Lonelytree


    The young couple was being lovey-dovey. He was an old man, so he didn’t want to get involved. ‘Speaking of, why has Gong Tianhao gotten so much more shameless recently? He flirted so openly with my daughter when I was standing right there.


    “That’s right. I’m Yu’Er’s father. Why should I leave? He should be the one to leave.


    Xiao Zhengyang walked out of the courtyard and saw that the vigers were all rushing towards the vigemittee. He sighed lightly and followed the crowd.


    At the vigemittee, the vigers crowded around the vige chief, “Vige chief, What’s going on? Why is there suddenly a demolition team?”


    “That’s right. After they tear down our houses, where are we going to stay? Even if there’spensation, we won’t be able to find a new ce so soon.”


    “But why would peoplee to demolish our houses in the first ce?”


    The questions flew everywhere.


    The vige chief held the megaphone and said loudly, “Alright, everyone, let’s be quiet for a while. You have too many questions. Do you want me to answer them again and again? Please find a seat and sit down. When everyone is here, I’ll answer everything all at once, okay?”


    The vigers dispersed and found a ce to sit. Some stood. They were discussing the matters that happened earlier.


    It happened too unexpectedly. If not for Young Master Gong, their houses would be crushed already. They were working the fields and were thus not home. When they returned, their houses might be gone already. This was too terrifying.


    After waiting for a while, all 186 households arrived. Most meetings happened in split groups. This was one of the few times where every household was present.


    The vige chief held a megaphone and said, “Everyone, quiet down. Listen to me.”


    “vige chief, hurry up. We’re dying of anxiety.”


    “You people need to shut up! You’re shouting so loudly! How do you expect the vige chief to speak?” Someone immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.


    The venue quieted down. After that, the vige chief held the megaphone and continued speaking, “Actually, I was also very surprised when I saw the demolition team. This was because I had just received the notice from the county this morning.


    “When I received the demolition notice, I was very shocked too.


    “But even more shocking was when someone told me the demolition team was already heading to the vige. Therefore, I quickly rushed back. But when I was rushing back, I saw the demolition team leaving.”


    There was a moment of silence. Then someone asked, “Vige chief, does that mean that you didn’t know about the demolition at all?”


    The vige chief nodded and then shook his head.


    This made the vigers very puzzled.


    “vige chief, what do you mean?” Someone asked loudly.


    The vige chief smiled bitterly and said, “How should I say it? I heard that a big boss has taken a fancy to Taoyuan Vige and n to develop it into a tourist destination.”


    vige chief, why didn’t you tell us about this before?” Someone immediatelyined, “If you had told us before, we would have been mentally prepared. We wouldn’t have known about this until someone came knocking on our door with a forklift.”


    Many people agreed.


    The vige chief said, “Because it was only hearsay. I didn’t know it was true or not. I didn’t want to make people worry. It would have affected everyone’s work. Do you think I’d do that?”


    “But how is that better than having someone suddenlying to demolish our house?” A viger began toin.


    ‘The vige chiefughed bitterly again and continued, “I didn’t tell everyone about this because I thought the developer would inform us first before they started any demolition. Normally, they would have to get our agreement before they can do any demolition.


    “How would I now thispany woulde like a bandit and force the demolition?”


    Most vigers started to empathize with the vige chief.


    However, at this moment, someone asked, “Vige chief, it sounds like we’ll bepensated for the demolition, right?”


    The vige chief turned to Xiao Chengcai, who asked the question, and his face was a little angry.


    The vige chief asked with a sullen face, “Yes, there will bepensation. Are you willing to sell your house for a measly 5000 RMB per household member?”


    Xiao Chengcai said with a sullen face, “Why not? After all, my house is so old already.” There were five members in his family. So he could get 25,000. With the 40,000 RMB from before, he could move out of Taoyuan Vige and live a better life.


    The vige chief was furious when he heard this.


    He pointed at Xiao Chengcai and cursed, “Xiao Chengcai, this is all your fault! If you hadn’t sold the outsiders news of the Little Cattle King, would this have happened?”


    Everyone was shocked.


    “vige chief, what do you mean by this?”


    “That’s right, vige chief. Tell us, what exactly is going on? How did this have anything to do with Xiao Chengcai and the Little Cattle King?”


    The vige chief couldn’t hide his anger as he said, “Do you think that the owner of the developer really likes Taoyuan Vige and wants to turn it into a tourist destination? That’s all bullshit! What they want is ournd that can grow good strawberries and vegetables.”


    “What?”


    Everyone immediately felt that it was unbelievable.


    “But the reason why thend is so fertile is because of Xiao Lingyu’s Little Cattle King!”


    As soon as he said this, everyone immediately understood what was going on.


    “vige chief, so the big boss actually wanted Taoyuan Vige for the Little Cattle King?”


    The vige chief nodded and replied, “That’s right!”


    “But if they are really here for Little Cattle King, then they can juste and snatch it. Why are they making such a big fuss about tearing down our house?”


    Some people immediately med Xiao Lingyu’s family.


    “That’s right. Since their target is the Little Cattle King, why should the rest of us suffer?”


    ‘When the vige chief heard this, his face was full of ck lines. He sternly shouted, “Shut up. What nonsense are you talking about? So you don’t mind the Little Cattle King being targeted? Is it because the Little Cattle King doesn’t belong to your family? You don’t feel sorry for him so he could be sold


    like that?


    “Do you people have a conscience? Have you not benefitted from the Little Cattle King’s manure? Have your crops not grown better with the fertilizer made from his manure?”


    ‘The vige chief’s words were sharp, making those who wanted to me the Xiao family look embarrassed.


    They argued, “We were just telling the truth. Vige chief, why do you have to use such harsh words?”


    Vige chief said coldly, “If I didn’t use these harsh words, your words would be harsher.”


    Immediately, those people fell silent. These people had benefitted from the Little Cattle King, but they didn’t hesitate to sell him out. It was unreasonable.


    Vige chief looked at the small group of vigers with their heads lowered. He harrumphed and didn’t say anything else.


    “Vige chief, what does the demolition have to do with Xiao Chengcai and the Little Cattle King?” Someone asked. Everyone picked up their interest.


    ‘The vige chief answered, “The two are intrinsically connected. It was Xiao Chengcai who sold the news of the Little Cattle King to the boss who sent people over to demolish our vige.”


    ‘When Xiao Chengcai heard this, his expression suddenly changed.


    He immediately defended himself, “Vige chief, I didn’t do such a thing. Don’t use me.”


    ‘The vige chief said very angrily, “use you? Xiao Chengcai, do you think I would say these things without evidence?”


    ‘When Xiao Chengcai heard that there was evidence, his pupils constricted. He felt that it was very unbelievable.


    He said loudly, “Impossible. I clearly didn’t…”


    But he didn’t continue and stopped abruptly…
