259 Villagers Causing Trouble (1)

“Dad, I heard that Uncle Bangjian is willing to rent out the land.”

During lunch, Shi Banghua’s son, Shi Xiaoming, told him.

Shi Banghua stopped eating and asked, “Who did you hear that from?”

“Shi Xiaohai told me!” Shi Xiaoming picked up a piece of braised pork and said, “Moreover, the rent is not what they have been telling everyone. His family’s rent is the same as everyone’s.”

Shi Banghua frowned and said in confusion, “Two days ago, Shi Bangjian told me that Shi Lichun wanted to rent his family’s land. He claimed that rent can’t be low. Otherwise, with such a small rent, why would he rent it to him? Why did he rent it out now?”

Shi Xiaoming had also heard of this matter. As he ate, he said, “But Xiaohai said that there’s no such thing. I don’t know who spread the news. His family’s land is expensive.”

At this point, Shi Xiaoming looked at his father and said, “Dad, are we really not renting our land to their family?”

“No!”

Shi Banghua replied without thinking, “Back then, their family built a house and occupied our land, but they didn’t even say anything. They even said that I was being unreasonable.”

“Hmph, it was clearly your great-grandfather who told me that land belonged to our family. Alright, now it’s directly occupied by them. Thinking of this, I’m still filled with anger. Do you still want to rent our land to them? Dream on.”

“Hmph, I want to see how they will bypass us when they build the greenhouse if we don’t rent our land to them.”

Shi Xiaoming muttered, “You said that great-grandfather told you that that piece of land belongs to our family, but there’s no proof. Second Master Shi even took produced the land certificate. No one would believe that our family has a share in that piece of land, right?”

Shi Banghua looked at him with sharp eyes and asked suspiciously, “What are you mumbling about?”

At this point, he put down his chopsticks and said with a serious expression, “Let me tell you, our family won’t rent that piece of land no matter how much money we’re given.”

“Alright!” Shi Xiaoming nodded.

When Old Man Shi and Old Lady Shi heard that Shi Bangjian’s family had rented that piece of land to the Shi family, they were so angry that their faces turned green.

“Shi Bangjian, that b*stard. He clearly said that he wouldn’t rent it. How long has it been? He’s already renting the land to their family.” Old Man Shi cursed angrily.

Old Lady Shi kept cursing.

Then, she asked, “Old man, how much is the rental fee for Shi Bang’s land? Previously, he told everyone that his family’s land would not be rented without a few thousand yuan.”

Old Man Shi calmed down and thought for a moment before saying, “Yes, it’s very likely that they rented his family’s land at a high price.”

At this point, he clapped his hands and said, “Haha, that’s great, that’s great.”

Old Lady Shi was confused and asked in confusion, “What’s great?”

Old man Shi said happily, “As long as they rent the land from Shi Bangjian, it’s equivalent to offending the entire village. Come, old woman, let me tell you.”

Then, he whispered a few words to Old Lady Shi. Old Lady Shi’s eyes lit up as she listened.

After Old Man Shi finished speaking, he instructed, “Later, go around the village and tell everyone about this. I believe that when everyone hears about this, they will definitely feel very uncomfortable and will cause trouble for the Shi family.”

Old Lady Shi smiled and said, “Old man, don’t worry. I know what to do!”

After saying that, she walked out. Before she left, she even grabbed a handful of melon seeds from home.

As soon as she went out, she saw a villager and asked, “Chunxiu, have you rented out your family’s land? Let me tell you, the land built by Shi Bangjian has been rented out for 5,000 dollars per acre per year. Oh, how much is the rent for your family’s land? That land can’t be planted for much money in a year. You definitely have to rent it out at such high rent, right?”

The villager called Chun Xiu asked suspiciously, “Are you serious? Is the rent for Shi Bangjian’s house really that high?”

How could 500 be compared to 5,000?

At the same time, why was it that other people’s land was higher in value?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Of course, when these words came out of Old Lady Shi’s mouth, it was not very credible.

“Why would I lie to you?” Old Lady Shi raised her voice. “I heard it from Xiuxiu. If you don’t believe me, you can go ask her.”

Xiuxiu was Shi Bangjian’s wife.

Shi Bangjian’s wife had indeed said it to many people!

“I’m not talking to you anymore. I still have to go to the fields to pick some vegetables!”

With that, Old Lady Shi left in a hurry!

Then, she said it to everyone.

“Two days ago, Xiuxiu told us that she wanted to rent out her family’s land at a minimum of 5,000 dollars. If it does not reach this price, their family will not rent it.”

“Now that her family’s land has been rented out, she must have gotten a high rent!”

“I’ve heard of this before! Xiuxiu said that her family’s land happens to be next to Shi Lichun’s family’s. It’s the center of the entire area. If their family wants to rent that piece of land, they have to rent her family’s land!”

“Yes, I’ve heard of it too. Therefore, their land has to be rented at a high rent. Otherwise, they definitely won’t rent it!”

“Now that their family has rented out their land, what does this mean? It means that they must have gotten a high rent. The difference between 5,000 and 500 is too great.”

“No! 5,000 for one and 500 for the other. This gap is too unfair to us.”

“It’s the same piece of land over there. Why did Shi Bangjian get 5,000 instead of 500 like us?”

“That’s right. If that’s the case, I won’t rent it anymore. I’ll keep the land and plant something myself.”

“No, we have to ask. This is too unfair to us. We’re from the same village and own the same type of land. How can Shi Lichun’s family favor one over the other? Logically speaking, I also want 5,000 dollars for the rent. It’s not too much, right?”

“Anyway, it’s not like Shi Lichun and his brothers are renting the land, and their niece is so rich. It’s said that she has a multimillionaire family. Who are they trying to send away with such a small rent?”

In the morning, the entire village heard that Shi Bangjian’s land had been rented to the Shi family for a high rent of 5,000 dollars!

Most of the villagers felt uncomfortable and seemed very angry.

Therefore, everyone gathered together and went straight to the Shi family.

When Shi Lichun saw these villagers who were making a fuss and asking for an explanation or refund of their rented land, his expression immediately turned ugly.

“That’s not true at all.” He, who was usually good-tempered, asked with a dark expression, “Who on earth told you we are paying 5,000 to Shi Bangjian’s family?”

“Who said that? That’s what everyone said. Moreover, Shi Bangjian’s wife said the same thing to everyone in the past. She kept saying that she wouldn’t rent if they are not offered 5,000. Now, in just a few days, they rented the land to your family. Hmph, Shi Lichun, we’re all from the same village, and we’re on the same piece of land. You’re not kind. You can’t be so unfair and favor one over the other when renting land.”
