Mo Junyan continued, “In the future, with me around, no one can bully you and Little Orange, including myself.”

Gu Qingming blushed and said softly, “Alright, stop talking. Many people are watching.”

Mo Junyan said indifferently, “Just watch. I won’t be afraid to confess my love for you just because there are too many people.”

Madam Mo was speechless. Young brat, good job.

Iler son suddenly seemed to be enlightened.

From time to time, he would confess in front of everyone. Under such gentle attacks from time to time, Gu Qingming would marry into the Mo family sooner or later.

Mo Junyan confessed to Gu Qingming affectionately in public again and simply blinded everyone.

“Cough, cough… Are young people nowadays so unreserved when they’re dating?” The older villager said.

“That’s right. Young people nowadays talk about love all the time. They don’t have any reservedness. Unlike our era, most of the arranged marriages were blind marriages. Later on, the country didn’t allow arranged marriages, but when a man and woman fell in love and held hands, they would be criticized if they were discovered.”

“Haha… It’s not bad for young people to be more straightforward when dating nowadays.”

“Shi Tietou, what’s the status of your grandson-in-law? He’s a talent. Look at his temperament. He doesn’t look like an ordinary person.”

Shi Tie Tou raised his head proudly and said, “Of course he’s not an ordinary person!” He was the richest man in the country.

Of course, there was no need to tell them.

Director Li and Director Chen looked at each other.

It was clearly an aggressive scene, but it suddenly became a scene with pink bubbles.

However, someone soon broke the pink scene.

Lai Mazi had just been humiliated. At this moment, he said without a care, “I won’t talk to you about this now. We came here to seek fairness. Why do you want to expropriate the land we rely on to survive? And you even gave such a low compensation?”

His words immediately pulled everyone back to the main topic.

“That’s right. The compensation of 36,000 dollars is really too low. Such a small amount of money would be gone in no time!. If we have an illness or something, this money won’t be able to withstand spending. Even a small cold now costs more than a hundred dollars to treat.”

“Actually, I can’t get this money at all. It’ll be transferred to the young people’s cards. If we want to use some money, we have to ask them for it. It’s not know if we can get it. 1 feel at ease with some land to plant!”

Someone asked Director Li directly, “Director Li, when the developer expropriates land, the compensation was really high. Can’t you compensate us like that? You’re only compensating so little now. Are you trying to force us to a dead end?”

“No, I want to ask, why do you want to take back all our land to grow vegetables?”

“That’s right. Why don’t you choose some other place? Why did you choose our place?”

“Didn’t you hear that just now? The country chose this place because of Gu Qingming and the Shi family’s planting skills. Why don’t you take a look? How much can we sell an acre of vegetables for? It’s already not bad if we can sell them for thousands or tens of thousands. But go and see if they can sell an acre of land for more than a million.”

“That’s true. I just don’t quite understand. They’re both farming, but the difference is too big. How did the Shi family farm? Oh, that’s not right. 1 remember that before their niece came, no matter how good they were at farming, they were only slightly better than us. There’s no such huge difference.”

“That’s right. That’s strange. Also, 1 wonder if you’ve eaten the food grown by their family. It’s said that eating it will make you addicted. It’s extremely delicious.”

“I can’t bear to buy such an expensive thing. 1 heard that a little cabbage costs more than ten dollars. I can’t afford it.”

The old man was used to being frugal.

Even if their lives were better now, they made do with pickled vegetables and steamed buns most of the time.

Director Li looked at the villagers present and said directly, “Since you said that you want such a huge compensation from the developer, I can only tell you that this is unlikely. This is because the compensation we give is also according to the laws of the country.”

President Chen also said, “I’m afraid you still have one question that you haven’t figured out. That is the difference between expropriation and demolition!”

A villager immediately asked in confusion, “What’s the difference? Isn’t it still our private property?”

President Chen nodded and said, “No, you’re wrong. The land you’re using now belongs to the collective ownership system. It’s the land of everyone, not private property. However, the houses built on your land are your private property.”

The villagers were stunned.

What was going on?

The land they were using now was actually not their own, but collectively owned?

How was this possible?

President Chen continued, “There’s only one form of land distribution in our country. That’s collective ownership, which is a form of public ownership in our country. Let me give you an example. You have an acre of land. You can plant or rent this acre of land, but you can’t sell it. Once you sell your land, it’s equivalent to breaking the law. Land expropriation is only to give you a reasonable compensation. But houses are different. Houses are your private property and can be transferred and sold. Demolition is the demolition of houses and other buildings on land. Of course, there’s a reasonable compensation.”

“Ha, yes, I also remember that our land can’t be sold,” a villager said.

Some villagers sold theirs secretly.

“However, whether it’s land compensation or demolition compensation, it’s done according to the country’s laws and regulations and the local market. It’s not that you can get as much compensation as you want. Yes, demolition might make you rich overnight because demolition is targeted at towns and houses.” After President Chen said so much, some of the villagers did not dare to say anything.

Director Li said, “If anyone doesn’t understand or has any opinions, then come with us to the government office to discuss it. What’s the point of standing at their door now?”

Upon hearing that they were going to the government, everyone’s expressions immediately became dispirited, and their expressions revealed a hint of timidity.

After all, they were just ordinary farmers. Unless it was absolutely necessary, not many people were willing to cause trouble with the government.

“Director Li, this… this isn’t necessary, right?”

“That’s right. If there’s anything, we can talk about it here!”

“Actually, we just want more compensation. There’s no other problem..”
