42: Chapter 42: Seizing the Paddy Field 42: Chapter 42: Seizing the Paddy Field After having lunch, Chen Yang comfortably lay on the rocking chair and quietly took a nap.
By the ti he woke up, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.
“Huff.”
Chen Yang let out a big sigh and then casually pulled out a book from the drawer of the counter and started to read it intently.
Just as Chen Yang was listlessly looking through the book, Aunt Zhang from the village suddenly visited.
“Yang Zi!
You should quickly go see at the head of the village.
Fu Deyou from the neighboring village is bullying too much, he’s bringing people to fight in our village!” Aunt Zhang shouted into the clinic as soon as she reached the doorway.
Hearing Aunt Zhang’s hurried manner, Chen Yang sprang up from the rocking chair imdiately.
“Fu Deyou?” Chen Yang recalled the encounter on the mountain, then his face beca stiff, hurriedly supporting the panting Aunt Zhang, “Aunt Zhang, don’t worry, I’ll go check it out at the head of the village right now!”
“Okay…” Aunt Zhang breathed heavily on the spot, seemingly unable to walk anymore.
Seeing this, Chen Yang simply asked Aunt Zhang to watch the clinic for him, and he went to the head of the village to see for himself.
Aunt Zhang agreed, and then Chen Yang imdiately dashed towards the head of the village.
When Chen Yang reached the head of the village, he imdiately saw that by this ti, there were already a hundred or so people gathered there, one side being the widows of Liuhe Village and the other side being the people brought by Fu Deyou, arguing incessantly at the head of the village.
Among them, Wang Hong, along with several other widows from the village, had particularly loud voices.
“Those three plots of paddy fields next to the well in Liuhe Village were originally ours in Shangshan Village!
Today it’s only right that we take them back!”
“Fu Deyou, you’re spouting nonsense!
Those three plots clearly belong to Xiaoe’s family in our village!
They have nothing to do with your Shangshan Village!”
“Who says it has nothing to do?
I said it has, so it does!
The fields are already planted with our Shangshan Village’s seedlings!”
“Fu Deyou, you’re a village head after all, picking on a group of widows with such thuggish acts, aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?”
Wang Hong and others rolled up their sleeves and pointed at Fu Deyou’s nose to scold, showing no fear of Fu Deyou who had brought a bunch of n to cause trouble in their village.
Fu Deyou, being pointed at and scolded by a group of widows, was imdiately infuriated, snatching a pole from soone’s hand and bellowed, “You’re saying I’m stealing, right?
Well, if I’m stealing, what are you going to do about it?”
“I ca here today to notify you, those three plots of land by the well, planted with our seedlings, from now on belong to Shangshan Village!”
“If we see anyone from Liuhe Village daring to go near those three paddy fields, we’ll beat them every ti we see them!”
Fu Deyou was utterly unreasonable, completely acting the role of a local tyrant.
Although there was a lot of shouting, Wang Hong and the group of widows weren’t scared of Fu Deyou, but seeing that it might escalate to a fight, they started to panic.
After all, those brought by Fu Deyou were all burly n, and although they had more people, they were ultimately just fragile widows.
How could they ever fight against Fu Deyou?
Seeing Fu Deyou’s nacing look, everyone instinctively stepped back two steps, while Li Xiaoe from the crowd was directly scared into tears.
They could only watch helplessly as their own paddy field beca the property of Fu Deyou.
“Ha, a village of widows without a single man daring to oppose my Shangshan Village, foolish!” Watching the group of intimidated widows, Fu Deyou openly laughed with a smug face.
At the sa ti, he thought to himself, this is what you get for not obeying , Fu Deyou, Li Xiaoe!
“Village Chief Fu, you really wield a lot of authority!
Who told you that Liuhe Village doesn’t have a single man?” However, just when the scene fell silent and Fu Deyou was smugly proud, Chen Yang’s voice suddenly ca.
Hearing Chen Yang’s voice, everyone uniformly turned to look at Chen Yang.
At the sa ti, the many widows opened a passageway for Chen Yang, allowing him to walk to the front.
“Yang Zi!
You have to help your sister-in-law out!
Those three plots of paddy fields clearly belong to my family, Fu Deyou just wants to seize them.” Seeing Chen Yang arrive, Li Xiaoe, who had been crying miserably, seed to find her backbone and ca over to complain to Chen Yang.
“Don’t worry, sister-in-law, they won’t be able to snatch it as long as I’m here.” Chen Yang said resolutely to Li Xiaoe.
“Mm-hmm.” Reassured by Chen Yang’s definitive response, Li Xiaoe’s crying subsided.
“Well, well, I thought who it might be, it turns out to be you, kid.
You have an objection to the three pieces of land next to my well, don’t you?” Seeing Chen Yang again, the smug smile on Fu Deyou’s face vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling coldness.
He had brought so many people today for two reasons, the first was to seize the water fields and take revenge on Li Xiaoe.
The second was to find a way to avenge the beating he had suffered that day!
In fact, compared to Li Xiaoe, Fu Deyou held an even deeper grudge against Chen Yang.
Because if it hadn’t been for Chen Yang that day, he would have succeeded one hundred percent!
But Chen Yang’s presence not only made him unsuccessful, but also led to Chen Yang beating him, sothing the arrogant and domineering Fu Deyou could not stand, hence today’s confrontation.
“Village Chief Fu, I’m also notifying you now, you’d better leave Liuhu Village right now and pull out all the seedlings you planted in Sister Xiaoe’s field, or you’ll take the consequences.” Chen Yang’s face was filled with coldness, his anger burning within!
Fu Deyou’s intentions were crystal clear to Chen Yang.
It was evident he was here to take revenge on both himself and Sister Xiaoe.
“Ha, you’re quite arrogant, kid!
Talking about taking consequences, what can you do if I don’t pull out the seedlings?” Fu Deyou said defiantly, holding a carrying pole, his face filled with arrogance.
Chen Yang stared coldly at Fu Deyou, but at that mont, the village chief of Liuhu Village, Wu Kexin, arrived belatedly.
“Everyone, let’s calm down, calm down first!” Seeing both parties raging and ready to fight at any mont, Wu Kexin quickly rushed to diate.
Suddenly the appearance of a beautiful woman naturally attracted everyone’s attention at the scene.
Especially Fu Deyou, whose eyes eagerly wandered over Wu Kexin.
However, when he rembered the purpose of today’s visit, his face soon turned fierce again.
“Oh, how many widows there are in Liuhu Village, I didn’t even know where this widow ca from,” Fu Deyou said with a face full of mockery.
Wu Kexin, who had hurriedly co to break up the fight, was initially in a good mood, but when she heard Fu Deyou’s mocking words, she was instantly enraged.
“I am the new village chief of Liuhu Village!
Comrade, please show so respect when you speak!” Wu Kexin pointed at Fu Deyou and reprimanded him.
Hearing that the beautiful woman in front of him was the village chief, Fu Deyou beca slightly more serious.
“Heh, so you are the new village chief, my apologies, my apologies!” Fu Deyou said with a chuckle.
“Yes, I am the village chief of Liuhu Village, and I just heard that you from Shangshan Village claim that the three pieces of land next to the well are yours, right?” Wu Kexin asked coldly.
“Yes!
Those three pieces of land are Shangshan Village’s!” Fu Deyou unabashedly nodded.
“But it is clearly stipulated in the village’s planning book that those three pieces of land are agricultural land for the residents of Liuhu Village, the Li family.
Doesn’t Village Chief Fu usually look at the basic farmland planning?” Wu Kexin showed the farmland planning to Fu Deyou, prepared to argue with facts.
But Fu Deyou ca looking for trouble, so why would he care about these things?
“Heh, the village chief doesn’t care about these things.
I only know that now that our Shangshan Village’s seedlings are planted there, that land belongs to Shangshan Village!
Do whatever you want!” Fu Deyou brazenly said.
“You!” Wu Kexin was taken aback by Fu Deyou’s unreasonable behavior, and for a mont, she didn’t know what to say.
Looking at Wu Kexin, who was clearly angered,
Fu Deyou sneered: “Anyway, I’ve already notified you today.
If anyone dares to pull out our seedlings today, us Shangshan villagers are ready to fight.”
Fu Deyou waved the carrying pole in his hand, full of threatening intent.
As he spoke, Fu Deyou was about to leave Liuhu Village.
But just at that mont, a man behind Fu Deyou suddenly pointed at the well and exclaid, “My goodness!
Village Chief Fu, look!
Chen Yang is already pulling out our seedlings!”
