Boss Meng and Mrs. Shen were stunned when they heard this, as if half of their souls had been ripped away.
"What land? What we are growing is our own land. What does it have to do with you?" Shen rolled his eyes and planned to take it as his own.
Over the years, they have regarded those lands as their own family property.
The person from the second house suddenly came to ask for her, it was like cutting off a piece of flesh from her heart, how could she let go?
Mr. Meng also said: "Even if those fields had some connection with your family before, our family has been farming for so many years. We have kept those fields from being abandoned. Now it is not an exaggeration to say that these fields belong to our eldest family."
"You haven't cultivated the land in these years. We maintain the vitality of the soil, and you just come to rob it. This is not good."
The people in the second house almost laughed. They were farming their land and treating it as their own. Now they came to take it back and said they were robbing it.
Meng Wu's fists were clenched. Yes, he wanted to hit someone after hearing such words.
"You know how much food you harvest from these fields every year. You took such a big advantage and only gave us fifty kilograms of rice, which is the roughest and worst rice. In the end, you still said that we owed it to you."
Shen was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and she cursed excitedly.
"You guys have had your consciences eaten by dogs. We have raised fields for you and given you food rations every year. If it weren't for this food, you would have died long ago without knowing where you are. And you are accusing us. Sure enough, you have a mother." Those born without a father are like white-eyed wolves."
"If those fields had not been planted, they would have been overgrown with weeds, and the soil would be too hard to hoe."
"How come there is no one to plant seeds?" Meng Li said amusedly: "Rent out, and you can get one tael of silver per acre of land, which is better than fifty pounds of the worst rice. It's just that the two brothers were young at the time and had soft ears. A little bit, and for the sake of relatives, I planted it for you, but you are not grateful and want to take it for yourself. Who is the wolf who sees profit and is unjust?"
Boss Meng and Shen were choked.
They know very well how much advantage they are taking by planting these fields.
"Whether you agree or not, we have to take back those fields. Either we plant them ourselves or rent them out. It's not your turn. You insist on planting them. Okay, one tael per acre of field." Meng Ning said.
The eldest sister is right, they are here to inform them, not to ask for their opinions.
Mr. Meng said with a cold face: "We have been planting it for so many years, what if we insist on planting it?"
This is just like being a gangster.
"Then we will plow down whatever you plant. Anyway, the land belongs to us, and we have the right to make the decision. This is also true for letting the whole village judge." Meng Li said.
Shen immediately fell backwards.
Meng Wu didn't want to talk nonsense and waved his hand: "It's settled here, go to the third uncle's house."
Anyway, they have the land deeds in their hands, and if they want to come back, the people in Dafang can't do anything.
Boss Meng hurriedly followed up and his tone became much kinder: "We are all a family. Don't be so impulsive. It will hurt the harmony. You all have your own work. We will provide you with the land. This will not let you worry. ?"
Meng Ning smiled: "Yes, we all have jobs, so just rent out the land."
Mrs. Shen was heartbroken: "In that case, will I give you one hundred catties of rice that year?"
Hearing such words, the people in the second room quickened their pace. It would be a waste to say anything to this kind of people.
However, everyone immediately realized that Meng Li had bad legs and feet.
Lu Mu picked up Meng Li and followed everyone's footsteps.
The moment her body took off, Meng Li instinctively reached out and hugged Lu Mu's neck. In broad daylight, this posture was a bit embarrassing, but seeing Lu Mu's expression as blank, Meng Li didn't care. She couldn't walk steadily, and she couldn't even walk. If it’s not fast, what else can you do?
Boss Meng and Mrs. Shen chased them out, but the people in the second room were already far away. They walked through their own yard and walked to the west to ask for the land from the third room.
"What should we do, husband? We sell the grain and vegetables in those fields every year, and we can make a lot of money." Mrs. Shen was extremely anxious.
Bai has taken advantage for several years, but now he can no longer take advantage of it. It's like cutting off the flesh from his own body and bleeding it out.
Boss Meng's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot: "Don't be afraid, the third brother has a group of brothers, so we won't be afraid of them. When the third brother is stabilized, we can continue farming, and there is nothing they can do."
On the way to the third uncle's house, Meng Li learned that the third uncle was a small leader who collected loan sharks from others. He had more than a dozen thugs under his command, and he even killed and injured people.
For this reason, the expressions on the faces of people in the second room are not as relaxed as those in the first room.
The big house is so arrogant, what about the third house to rely on?
Meng Ning said: "Only the third uncle's family is at home now. With so many of us going, we will definitely get the fields back."
Meng Wu snorted: "It is our family's own land. Could it be that my third uncle would resort to those tricks of asking others for usury? If you dare to do this, I am not a vegetarian with my fists."
The second wife has a pair of children. The eldest, Meng Bufan, is eighteen years old and is farming at home with the Wan family. The second child, Meng Lu, is fifteen years old and works as a maid for a wealthy family in the town. The third aunt, the Wan family, has another child in her belly.
Obviously the third room already knew what they were doing in the first room, and Wanshi was very unwelcome when she saw them.
"What are you doing here?"
"Third aunt, where is third uncle? We just went over to uncle's house and saw third uncle in the yard." Meng Wu asked, naturally he was suspicious.
It was getting dark and he was not at home, either hiding away, or more likely shaking someone off.
Wan was a little uncomfortable, and she said in a bad tone: "I went to the town to ask for a bill. I don't know when I will come back."
"It doesn't matter if you're not here, we'll just talk to you, Third Aunt," Meng Ning said.
"I, how can I be the master? Your third uncle has always had the final say in this family. It's not that you don't know that I listen to your third uncle."
"Then third aunt, just tell third uncle." Meng Wu's face began to become serious, and he understood very well, and he even played careless with them.
He said clearly: "Third Aunt, we want to take back the fields you farmed in our family."
Wan's face changed. She thought the people in the second room would wait for Meng Laosan to come back, but she didn't expect them to be so direct, and the tone was not to discuss, but to inform.
However, the third child is coming back soon——
"Ah, we have cultivated those fields well. Why do you suddenly want to go back? Are you dissatisfied with our third room, or have we offended you in some way?" Mrs. Wan pretended to be aggrieved. .
Meng Li sneered in her heart, this was the first time she saw a middle-aged tea lady.
"Third Aunt, your family has not offended us. We just want to plant our own fields." Meng Ning also acted like Wuyu Wanshi.
"But there is nothing unprovoked. You haven't asked for it all these years, and now you suddenly want to go back. You can't blame me for overthinking it. You have thoughts about our third bedroom, right?"
Wan's eyes were red: "I know, you are blaming our third brother for not helping you, but our life is not easy. How many brothers and sisters are you talking about? How can we help you? Your third uncle still wants to help you." You have to support the brothers who serve under you. Those brothers have to keep up with the accounts and establish their authority. They have to keep up with the physical strength. We can't wrong them."
When Wan mentioned those thugs, the people in the second room understood that this was a warning to them.
He dominates their family's fields and threatens them with such bad tea.
The more they saw Wanshi like this, the more nauseated everyone felt.
