Rural Shennong

It has been ten days since Gong Tiecheng settled down in Tangpu Village.

He was an honest old farmer who knew how to be grateful.

Coupled with the fact that Chen Ping had helped him so much, Gong Tiecheng was afraid of causing more trouble to Chen Ping and Miao Runlian.

After recuperating from his illness in the past few days, Gong Tiecheng was very active after he started working on the farm, and he was also eager to mingle with the villagers.

He knows that rural people like to chew their tongues. If because of his attitude, the villagers think that Chen Ping and Miao Runlian are nepotism, it will be bad for him to be pampered and pampered.

Therefore, the relationship between him and Miao Runlian as relatives has not been exposed.

Gong Tiecheng's wife, Ge Cuifen, is not as stupid as Gong Tiecheng, but she is also a very grateful person.

Because of the initiative and enthusiasm of the couple, the villagers of Tangpu Village quickly accepted their newly moved folks.

Back from the cattle farm in the evening, Ge Cuifen had already cooked a big pot of dumplings and boiled two jugs of wine.

"Hey, I'm eating dumplings today, why did you cook so much?" Gong Tiecheng reached out for chopsticks as he spoke.

Ge Cuifen patted him: "Go wash your hands first, and don't be in a hurry to eat. I called Wang Xiaowei and Li Xianjin and their families and waited for them to come over and eat together."

To have a good relationship with the villagers, going back and forth to eat and drink is the fastest shortcut.

When Gong Tiecheng went out to wash his hands, the guests came.

Wang Xiaowei is a bachelor. He has brothers, sisters-in-law and parents at home. He came here by himself.

Li Xianjin came with his wife.

The three entered the room and sat down, and Gong Tiecheng and his wife warmly entertained them.

After a few glasses of good wine, the conversation started.

Wang Xiaowei hiccupped and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Tie Cheng, have you had any contact with the developer recently?"

Gong Tiecheng frowned slightly: "No, a developer came to me last time, and I dismissed him without listening to him."

"Those people want to develop the land in our village. If the land is gone, what will we live on in the future?"

Wang Xiaowei's expression froze, and he shouted: "You're right!"

Ge Cuifen is not as straight-hearted as Gong Tiecheng, she obviously found the atmosphere a bit tense, and quickly said: "Our family just moved here, and we are not familiar with the situation in the village."

"Our old Gong also heard that many folks in the village didn't want to sell the land, so he didn't dare to get in touch with those people, because he was afraid that the folks would misunderstand him!"

Hearing what Ge Cuifen said, Wang Xiaowei's expression softened a bit: "Auntie, let me tell you the truth, it's not that the people in the village don't want to sell their land to developers!"

Having experienced catastrophe, Gong Tiecheng cherishes the stable and happy life now, and he doesn't want to move away again.

When he was working these days, he told Miao Runlian about his worries.

Miao Runlian didn't hide it from Gong Tiecheng, telling him that Chen Ping has many industries and all of them need the raw materials produced in Tangpu Village.

Those who want to develop in Tangpu Village have an enmity with Chen Ping, and they want to break Chen Ping's foundation.

As long as most of the villagers are of one mind with Chen Ping, Chen Ping will not give up Tangpu Village easily.

Wang Xiaowei's words made Gong Tiecheng suddenly startled: "Huh? The villagers agreed to sell the land? Why..."

Before he finished speaking, Ge Cuifen kicked him under the table, but said with a smile on the surface: "Xiaowei didn't finish talking, what are you talking about?"

Wang Xiaowei continued: "In the past, people in our village didn't want to sell their land because the relocation funds given by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry were too little, which was only enough to buy a house in the city."

"Uncle Gong, you just said that without the land, how can we live on in the future? Even if the developer gives us 10 yuan in compensation, it's not enough to start a small business, right?"

"Going to work in the city might as well earn more by working for Chen Ping."

Gong Tiecheng nodded: "That's the reason!"

Wang Xiaowei patted Gong Tiecheng's shoulder: "But it's different now!"

"The developer contacted me and agreed to raise the compensation to 50 per household!"

"The relocation money given by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry is almost enough for us to buy a house in the city."

"With the remaining 50, buy a small shop and do some small business by yourself, isn't it better than working for Chen Ping?"

"Like you old couple, the children have their own houses, so it would be better if you don't have to worry about it."

"If you buy a small apartment, you will have more money left over, and the interest in the bank will be enough for you to enjoy your old age."

After Wang Xiaowei finished speaking, Li Jinjin who was next to him also persuaded: "Uncle Tiecheng, Xiaowei and I have already contacted many folks, and most of them agreed."

"That's because you and your aunt have a good relationship with us, so we told you."

"Otherwise, waiting for most of the villagers to agree to the demolition, and the remaining small number of people who disagree will not decide the overall situation. If they don't want to be relocated, they will have to be forced to relocate."

"At that time, you can only get the demolition funds from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry at most, and you won't get any compensation from the development company."

If Ge Cuifen hadn't kept kicking Gong Tiecheng under the table, he would have stood up and started complaining.

Seeing that the old man was about to lose his temper, Ge Cuifen quickly gave him a hand: "This wine is almost gone, you can go with me to get two bottles from the shelf in the warehouse, that shelf is too high for me to reach. "

Although Gong Tiecheng was straight-hearted, but he had been with Ge Cuifen for decades, of course he knew that his wife had something to say to him.

Angrily dragged to the warehouse by his wife, Gong Tiecheng couldn't help complaining: "These white-eyed wolves."

"I've heard it a long time ago. If it wasn't for Aping who led them to get rich, they would be where they are today? They wouldn't be able to eat warm food even if they eat corn sticks."

"It's good now. I don't believe that they don't know how much harm it will do to Aping after the development of the village!"

"If you don't drag me out, I want to flip the table!"

Ge Cuifen slapped Gong Tiecheng's arm: "You're the only one capable? How about taking a kitchen knife and chopping up those in the house with you?"

Gong Tiecheng squatted on the ground unhappily: "Don't persuade me, I'm usually willing to listen to you, but no matter what you say this time, I won't fool around with them. I'll go find Runlian later. Tell her about it."

Ge Cuifen whispered: "Nonsense, of course I have to tell Runlian."

Gong Tiecheng was stunned for a moment: "You also agree? Then why didn't you let me and those people lift the table just now?"

Ge Cuifen rolled her eyes: "Are you stupid? What problem can you solve by turning over the table?"

"Let's report to Runlian now. At most, we want to let Runlian know that the compensation from the development company has risen to 50. Some villagers are just moved."

"But if we don't turn against them and pretend to be with them, we will get more information."

"For example, who has contacted the developer in private, is planning to sell the land, and when will the agreement be signed, etc."

"Isn't it better for us to tell Runlian secretly after we know this?"

Gong Tiecheng's old face was slightly red: "This... isn't it good to make a small report behind this?"

Ge Cuifen took down two bottles of wine from the shelf: "Run Lian and we are real relatives, even though the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected."

"What is this white-eyed wolf? They are not benevolent, so don't blame us for being unrighteous. If you can't save face, you will talk less when you go in later. I will deal with them."
