Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

My eyes went dark and I almost fainted. Illegal occupation of land? How is this possible? We had leased this land legally, with all the necessary formalities. How could it be considered illegal occupation of land?

"Impossible! We leased this land legally, and I have all the supporting documents!" I retorted excitedly, pulling out the original lease contract and related approval documents from my pocket.

The official took the documents, flipped through them casually, and sneered, "Comrade Mu, these documents are all fake. We have verified it."

Fake? How could it be possible! I stared in disbelief. These documents were obviously real!

"This is impossible! My documents are all real, you must have made a mistake!" I tried my best to explain, but in return I got an even more contemptuous look from the official.

"Comrade Mu, I advise you not to waste your energy. We already have sufficient evidence. You should think about how to deal with the crops on this land."

My heart hit rock bottom. Am I really going to watch the base that I worked so hard to build being destroyed?

I sat on the ground helplessly, tears blurring my eyes. Are all the fresh vegetables and fruits in the base, the hardworking workers, and the hopes of my family and I…going to go to waste?

Just when I was completely desperate, I heard hurried footsteps and Bai Hanchuan's figure appeared in my sight.

"Jinli, what happened?" He helped me up anxiously, his eyes sweeping over the officials and finally falling on my face, full of worry.

I choked up and told him what had happened. After listening to me, Bai Hanchuan's face turned serious.

He patted my shoulder soothingly, then turned to face the officials, his tone calm but with unquestionable majesty, "Leaders, I believe there must be some misunderstanding. My husband and I have always abided by the law and would never do anything illegal."

Those officials were obviously afraid of Bai Hanchuan, but they still insisted on their own opinions, saying that everything must be done according to legal procedures.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, several black cars slowly drove up and stopped at the gate of the base.

Several people got off the car. The one walking in front was a middle-aged man. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a sense of majesty. I recognized him as Secretary Wang from the county.

Secretary Wang's arrival surprised everyone present, and the officials looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened.

Secretary Wang walked up to us and asked amiably, "You are Comrade Mu Jinli and Comrade Bai Hanchuan, right?"

"Secretary Wang, why are you here?" I asked in surprise.

"I came here specially to apologize to you." Secretary Wang said sincerely, "We have already found out that there is no problem with the land leasing procedures of your planting base. Someone deliberately fabricated the facts to frame you."

I was stunned. Framed? Who wanted to frame us?

Secretary Wang continued, "We will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you a satisfactory explanation. In addition, in order to compensate for the losses caused to you by this incident, the government has decided..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by hurried footsteps. A staff member walked quickly to Secretary Wang and whispered something in his ear.

After listening to me, Secretary Wang's face changed slightly. He looked at me with complicated eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "Come with me for a moment. I have something to say to you alone."

Secretary Wang called me aside and told me in a heavy tone that the person who framed me this time was... my stepmother! She bribed the people in the Land Bureau and forged the report materials in order to completely destroy my base. I was so shocked that I couldn't speak for a long time after hearing this news. Although I knew that my stepmother was vicious, I didn't expect her to be so cruel! Secretary Wang told me that they had solid evidence and would punish my stepmother and her accomplices in accordance with the law. I took a deep breath, suppressed the anger and sadness in my heart, and expressed my gratitude to Secretary Wang.

When I returned to Bai Hanchuan, I told him what Secretary Wang had said. After listening to me, he just smiled faintly, reached out and held me in his arms, "Don't worry, everything will be over." His arms were warm and powerful, as if they could dispel all the haze in my heart.

The government's support policy was quickly issued, and we immediately started the reconstruction of the base. This incident made us realize more deeply that unity is strength. I, Bai Hanchuan, and the workers in the base worked together, and the enthusiasm for rebuilding our homeland was unprecedentedly high.

When my father learned about this, he also came to help. Although he was old, he was experienced and provided a lot of valuable suggestions for the planning of the base. "Li'er, don't lose heart, let's start over again!" My father's words were full of encouragement and support, which made me feel warm.

With his influence in the industry, Bai Hanchuan contacted new sales channels for the base and solved our worries. Watching the base recover day by day, my heart is filled with hope and moved.

"Jinli, look, this is the new irrigation system I just designed. It can save a lot of water!" Bai Hanchuan pointed to the drawing and excitedly introduced it to me.

I smiled and nodded, looking at this energetic and intelligent man in front of me, my heart filled with happiness and gratitude.

"Knock, knock, knock..." There was a knock on the door of the base. I turned around and saw...

"Knock, knock, knock..." There was a knock on the door of the base. I turned around and saw Lin Xiao walking in with a few flower shop employees. They were holding large and small bags of things in their hands.

"Jinli, we are here to bring you some supplies!" Lin Xiao said with a smile and put the things in his hand on the table.

"Why are you here again? We haven't finished eating the food you sent last time." I scolded, but I felt warm in my heart.

"Oh, these are all flower teas and snacks grown at home. They are not worth much. You have been busy rebuilding the base recently and you certainly haven't had time to eat well. Just consider it as a nutritional supplement for you!" Lin Xiao said, calling on the employees to pack up the things.

I watched them busy, and my heart was filled with gratitude. Since the accident at the base, Lin Xiao and her employees have been silently supporting us, sending us all kinds of living supplies and manpower assistance. I will always remember this friendship in my heart.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the planting base has gradually regained its vitality. New land has been reclaimed and the seeds of hope have been sown; the newly built irrigation system has continuously delivered the source of life; the figures of the workers working hard have formed a series of vivid pictures.

I looked at the bustling scene in front of me, and my heart was filled with hope. After this storm, I cherish everything I have now even more, and I am more determined to believe that I will use my own hands to create a better future on this land!

In the evening, the setting sun cast a golden glow over the base. I strolled along the country road, looking at the green fields in front of me, and my heart was filled with peace and joy.

"Jinli, look!" Bai Hanchuan's voice came from not far away. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw him standing in front of the newly built greenhouse with an excited smile on his face.

I walked over quickly and stood side by side with him, looking at the green scenery in front of us...

"It's so beautiful!" I exclaimed sincerely. This greenhouse is the core project of the base reconstruction. It uses the latest insulation materials and irrigation technology to ensure the normal growth of crops even in the cold winter.

"Thanks to the government's support and everyone's efforts," Bai Hanchuan held my hand with a gentle look in his eyes, "we have finally gotten out of this predicament."

I nodded, my heart filled with gratitude. A few days ago, government officials came to the base to inspect it in person. After learning about our difficulties, they immediately decided to introduce a series of support policies to help us overcome the difficulties.

"With these policy supports, we can not only rebuild the base, but also expand the scale and introduce new varieties!" I said excitedly, with a gleam of hope in my eyes.

"I believe that our base will develop better and better!" Bai Hanchuan said with a smile.

I turned to look at him. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, outlining his resolute outline. His eyes were full of confidence and determination, as if no difficulties could stop him from moving forward.

"Thank you, Hanchuan," I said softly, "I really don't know what I would do without you..."

"Silly, there's no need to talk about this between us." He held me in his arms and stroked my hair gently.

As the sun sets, our shadows are stretched out, as if they have merged into this land full of hope.

In the next few days, the base was busy. Workers rushed to level the land and build greenhouses to prepare for a new round of sowing. Bai Hanchuan and I also rushed around to contact seed suppliers and inspect new varieties.

Everything is moving in the right direction, and I seem to be seeing a bumper harvest in the future.

However, just when I thought everything was going smoothly, an unexpected situation occurred...

This morning, I came to the base early to inspect as usual. The sun was shining brightly, and the breeze blew, bringing bursts of fragrance. I looked at the green fields in front of me, and my mood was particularly comfortable.

"Sister Jinli, look!" An anxious voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw that it was Xiao Wang, who was in charge of vegetable planting. He pointed to a vegetable field not far away with an ugly look on his face.

My heart tightened and I walked over quickly. When I got closer, I couldn't help but gasp...
