Rebirth of a Farmhouse with Space

Chapter 40 Admit your mistake

"I...Village Chief, it's my fault that I didn't control my family well. I've caused you trouble!"

The village chief took a few steps towards Nan Chen and said to Wei Ting, "Wei Ting, you are not causing me trouble, but you have disappointed Nan Chen, who is in charge of the government. Since the establishment of Xiangyang Village, Nan Chen has worked hard for this village day and night, sometimes forgetting to eat and sleep. What is he doing for? He wants our village to be better and better, so that the villagers can have enough food and warm clothes every day! You are so good, not cooperating and not helping, but now you are starting to cause trouble for him. Who gave you the courage to think that I dare not drive you out of the village? Don't forget that if I can take you in and settle down here, I can also beat you back to your hometown!"

Being sent back to their hometown means that the Wei family will have to go back to Dao County. After returning, Wei Ting will face imprisonment and the end of his family. Their family was allowed to move to Xiangyang Village because of a lot of connections and spent half of their family property. If they are sent back to their hometown, wouldn’t everything they have done before be in vain?

When he thought of this, Wei Ting broke out in a cold sweat. He no longer cared about his face and knelt down in front of Nan Chen. "Nan Chen, no, Lord Li Zheng, I was blinded by greed and did not restrain the women in my family from causing trouble in front of you. It was my fault. I will discipline the three boys in my family. Don't worry, I will compensate your Xiaobao and Yu for the grievances they have suffered. I will come to your house in person with gifts to apologize when I return."

Only Wei Ting, Nan Chen and a few people who were close to him heard what the village chief said to Wei Ting. The women of the Wei family and Ms. Dong did not hear it. So when they saw Wei Ting suddenly change his attitude and kneel down to Nan Chen, the women of the Wei family were not convinced. Even if he had wronged the Nan family, he did not need to kneel down and apologize to Nan Chen so humbly. Lin quickly came to Wei Ting and wanted to help him up, "Husband, what are you doing? Get up quickly. How can Nan Chen be worthy of your kneeling!"

"Shut up!"

Wei Ting shouted loudly, scaring Lin!

Feng was also very angry. She was angry that her uncle was too soft-hearted. Why did he kneel down and admit his mistake when the village chief came?

Nan Chen was an upright man after all, and he couldn't let others be humiliated in front of everyone. He raised his hand to help Wei Ting up, and whispered in his ear, "Get up, if you are a man, take care of your own women and children in the future. If you are a competent head of the family, take care of all the women and children in the family. Don't think that kneeling can solve all problems. This is the first and last time. I don't want to see your children bullying my children again!"

Although Wei Ting had worked as a shopkeeper before, he was now overwhelmed by Nan Chen's aura, which was too terrifying. He did not dare to look up and look directly at Nan Chen. He just lowered his head and responded repeatedly, "Yes, Lord Li Zheng, rest assured, I will never let this happen again in the future!"

Seeing Nan Chen personally helping Wei Ting up, the village chief shouted to the villagers who came to watch the fun, "No work to do, right? Are you all so idle? Do you have enough firewood for the winter? Can the food at home last through the winter? Have you prepared the warm clothes to wear for the winter?"

This is a fatal flaw. After hearing the village chief's five consecutive questions that hit the soul, many people who came to watch the fun with great interest dispersed. After all, if you don't prepare early, the winter in the north will really be freezing!

The onlookers dispersed, and the Wei family also went back home. Ms. Dong and her good sisters were still not convinced by you, "You just let them go like that?"

Nan Chen asked Ms. Dong to comfort her good sisters, "We are all from the same village, and we will meet each other many times in the future. There is no need to make things so stiff!"

Ms. Dong suppressed her rage and tried to appease her good sisters, saying, "Forget it. Give my man some face and don't argue with them. Let's go to my house and have a seat!"

Sister Hua said, "No, I still have a lot of work to do at home!"

Wang Lan also said that she wanted to go back because she still had work to do.

Chen also took San Lai back with her!

Lin followed behind Wei Ting and shouted, "Hey, husband, wait for me!"

Nan Chen smiled bitterly, "Village Chief, I'm sorry to trouble you!"

Zhao Yunchuan laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Let's go to your house. I have something to tell you!"

After a while, Ms. Dong served a cup of tea to the village chief and Nan Chen. Nan Chen asked in surprise, "Did the approval really come down? So quickly?"

Zhao Yunchuan took a sip of tea and replied, "Yes, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. I was wondering if the Huai'an County government had not yet received the news that Xuanmeng and Mongolia had opened up trade. If the county government knew about this, it would not be so easy to approve it. At the very least, the taxes would have increased!"

Nan Chen thought so too, "It's possible that we got the news from the provincial capital. There are still many procedures for the provincial capital to pass the news down, so it's possible that they really didn't get the news!"

"No matter what, now that we have the approval documents, we can build shops on both sides of the pipeline in the back mountain!"

Nan Chen took out a hundred taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Yunchuan, saying, "This is the money I need to buy the foundation!"

"One hundred taels? Nanchen, you're giving me so much money, are you planning to buy all the land on both sides of the pipeline?"

Nan Chen spoke frankly, "Village Chief, don't worry, I don't need so many shops and land. Let me put it this way, I won't hide anything from you. I plan to open a farm in the back mountain. The farm will include food, accommodation, entertainment, warehouses and stables, so I need a larger place! I don't need too many shops!"

"You mean to buy more land in the back mountains, and only need a few shops along the official road, is that what you mean?"

"Correct!"

Zhao Yunchuan thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, I'll give you 100 mu of land in the back mountain and five shops along the official road. You can decide the location you want. No matter how much it costs, it's all in this 100 taels!"

Nan Chen picked up the teacup and replied in a good mood, "Okay! But I want to be in the northwest of Xiangyang Village!"

"I told you, you can choose the location you want." Since the price and location of the purchased land had been agreed upon, Zhao Yunchuan immediately issued a land purchase and sale deed to Nanchen. With this contract, Nanchen could openly build a house on his own land!

Nan Chen took the purchase contract and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he asked, "According to the previous plan, the village committee office will build shops on both sides of the official road. Don't you plan to keep a few shops for yourself?"
