Chapter 55
Faced with the question suddenly raised by the old village head, Yang Haifu obviously did not expect it beforehand, because he summoned most of the people in the village today, but deliberately did not inform Yao Runzhi and the old village head, perhaps in his subconscious mind. Here, without the presence of Yao Runzhi, who can see through his thoughts with a single glance, and the calm and selfless old village chief, who he dare not look up to, can he have the courage to say some specious things to the villagers.

However, Yang Haifu is not only ambitious, but also quick-witted. After he was taken aback for a moment, he immediately put on a more natural smile on his face, "The old village chief's concerns are very reasonable. I am planning to tell you about Zhou Dahu. specific plans."

While talking, Yang Haifu raised his hand to signal, "Everyone knows the situation in our village. Without ration land, the barren mountain can't grow crops except for digging some wild vegetables and chopping some firewood. So Zhou Dahu expressed his desire to let our villagers rent and plant his family’s land from generation to generation out of consideration for our villagers.”

Yang Haifu said this softly, but the meaning contained in it was very scary. This big Zhou family was not inferior to Huang Buren at all. Uncle Qi disagreed, and when everyone was flustered and had no backbone, he persuaded the ambitious Yang Haifu to take the opportunity to turn all the people in Yangjiatun into vassals of his big family Zhou!It is not enough to let these people be tenant farmers for a generation, even their children and grandchildren are thinking about it.

Yao Tiantian can understand this matter. The old village head has dealt with the big households around him for many years, so he can understand it too. Some of the people in Yangjiatun also smelled a little bit, and everyone seemed to be fried. They whispered together.

Yang Haifu frowned, and he quietly gave Yang Laitou a wink. Yang Laitou repeated the old trick, knocking the big broken gong loudly, and then said loudly, "I know you have a lot of thoughts. The ability of the rich brothers. However, please think about it for yourself. Our old village head sold the ration land. What do you rely on for food? If you don’t plant land for Zhou Dahu, it’s Li Dahu and Huang Dahu. Zhou Dahu is willing to waive [-]% of the rent, what are you dissatisfied with, huh?"

Being questioned so bluntly by Yang Laitou, everyone in Yangjiatun lowered their heads involuntarily:

"Yes, there is some truth to what this layman said. Our own situation is like this. Without the capital to bargain, [-]% of the rent can be exempted. It is already a pie that has fallen from the world."

"Maybe this big family Zhou is really kind? Anyway, we can't do other things, renting someone's land is not planting."

"Yes, yes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We have to fill our stomachs and raise them before we think about other things."

"Hey, it would be great if Mr. Yao was here, and he could help us all make up our minds."

Originally, Yang Laitou was talking about it on the pedestal of the listeners, and when he heard someone mention Yao Runzhi, he immediately said loudly with disdain, "It's so funny, you really expect that person with a foreign surname to be sincere." Help us Yangjiatun? I have been watching him for the past two days, and he didn’t do anything other than wandering around in no hurry, nothing——nothing!”

In the dark, as if to refute Yang Laitou's shameless and wild words, on the big pagoda tree next to the earthen platform of the old ancestral hall, a thing dangled. It was dark green and square, three feet square.

As the thing hangs from the old locust tree, Da Zhuang's loud voice also rang out, "Fathers and folks in Yangjiatun, we, Mr. Yao, have confirmed that the barren hills we bought from Huang Buren are not wasteful and suitable To grow a crop called buckwheat, he will personally lead everyone up the mountain to open up wasteland and plant buckwheat from tomorrow. Mr. Yao also said that the barren hills are shared by the villagers in Yangjia Tunde, and whoever reclaims the wasteland will be used by them for 50 years. The location and the number of acres are recorded on this notice for future inspection."

After hearing Da Zhuang's words, his family turned their attention to the so-called notice that they had never seen before. They became curious about what Da Zhuang said about the barren hills that could be planted with crops. It's a question of what crops.

Since Mr. Yao said these words, they must not be wrong, because Mr. Yao has never told a lie in Yangjiatun these years.All of a sudden, people who supported Yao Runzhi as the patriarch of Yangjiatun showed hope.Because, the attachment and longing for the land of the farmers who have lived on the land for generations cannot be stopped by anything and people with any surname.

Seeing a well-organized rally, the people who tried their best to persuade, and the hearts of the people who finally gathered were ruined by such a dark thing, Yang Haifu's face became more and more ugly.

And Yang Haifu's hard-core helper Yang Laitou was so angry that he knocked on the broken gong, "As he knocked harder and harder, there was a clang", a big hole was knocked in the broken gong, and Yang Laitou hummed angrily. Throwing Ba Pogong, he ran under the big locust tree in a few steps, raised his head to have a look, and then jumped up vigorously, trying to drag the so-called notice down.

I only heard a disdainful laugh from the top of the big locust tree with intertwined branches, and the notice made of palm leaves jumped up unsteadily, just passing by Yang Laitou's fingertips.

"Damn it!" Seeing that he was almost there, Yang Lai couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, took a deep breath, and jumped up again, trying to grab the so-called notice in his hand , Tear it to pieces to relieve your anger.

However, what Yang Laitou didn't expect was that the thing that seemed to be not far away in front of him slipped past his fingertips again, and it dangled a little higher.

Seeing that this method would not work, Yang Laitou immediately changed his strategy. He stomped his feet fiercely, and said viciously, "You little bastards, dare to tease Grandpa. See how I will deal with you little bastards when I catch you!" As he said that, Yang Lai no longer cared about the palm leaves not far from his head, turned around and ran over thinking about the trunk of the big locust tree.

"Nonsense! It's just nonsense. This is a matter of life and death for the clan. What do you think you are doing? Children playing tricks? It's outrageous!" Seventh Uncle's annoyed voice echoed on the platform. There was a sound from one side, with heartbroken anger.

Being reprimanded by Uncle Seven, Yang Lai froze his body suddenly, and Yang Haifu's voice of reprimanding him also rang out, "He, Yao Runzhi, sent a few children out to sneak around. I, Yang Haifu, don't care about it, after all, he is not The person surnamed Yang played the matter of our Yangjiatun like a child's play, and I can't blame him. But, Lai Tou, why are you so ignorant? It seems that you have made Qi Shugong angry, why don't you hurry up and tell him Apologize!"

Hearing his brother's reprimand full of deep meaning, Yang Laitou's anger at being teased disappeared all of a sudden, he ran back with a smug smile, and cupped his hands in the direction of Seventh Uncle, very serious Said, "Seventh Uncle, don't be angry, it's your fault, isn't it, I shouldn't have the same knowledge as a few children, and I shouldn't have the same knowledge as people with foreign surnames."

The harmony between Yang Haifu and Yang Laitou immediately reversed the unfavorable situation at the scene, and the excitement of the villagers aroused by Da Zhuang's condescending announcement that Yao Runzhi would open up wasteland and farmland was eased, as if It was just a child's farce.

Fusheng, Da Zhuang, and Gou Wa, who thought they had spotted the right time and defeated Yang Haifu in one fell swoop, slumped down from the big locust tree.If he hadn't been playful for a while and teased that doggy Yang Laitou, Yang Haifu would never have seized the opportunity to fight back.

It was because of my impulsiveness that my husband's plan and Fusheng's and Gouwa's efforts all fell short. I was reprimanded by my seventh uncle for a small matter, and it made Da Zhuang feel the most self-blame and sad for hurting my husband and two good brothers. .

Da Zhuang blamed himself and felt ashamed, and Fu Sheng regretted it too much. When he was about to leave the house, his husband had specifically told him to be optimistic about Da Zhuang and not to talk nonsense in a high-spirited manner, which made the other party catch him.Now, although it didn't come from the mouth, the clever Yang Haifu took advantage of the trick of playing Yang Laitou. Although the matter was done by Da Zhuang, he didn't stop it, and even watched it with joy. In the final analysis, it is also my own responsibility, because I did not complete the tasks entrusted by my husband.

Fusheng, Dazhuang, and Gouwa were counterattacked by others, and they all stayed in the tree in dejection, but Yang Haifu called out, and he said in an elder tone, "Fusheng, come, come here. You guys are watching People who want to start a family and start a business, even though today is a bit of a mess, uncle, I don’t care about you, since you are on this stage today, let’s talk about it in front of so many uncles and uncles in our Yangjiatun, what are you thinking? yes?"

Hearing this, Fu Sheng, who was about to get off the stage, paused, and his little face immediately sank. Originally, he messed up what his husband told him, so he was already blaming himself, but this Yang Haifu got cheap He's acting like a good boy, and still refuses to let them go, and still wants him to sing praises for him in front of all the villagers?There are no doors!
"Brother Fusheng." Just when Fu blushed with anger, he turned to face Yang Haifu and was about to speak, when he heard a clear and sweet greeting from the crowd not far behind him, with a The childishness faded away, but the calm demeanor hidden in it made Fusheng's restless and angry heart calm down all of a sudden.
