Chapter 393: Something ungrateful?
Chapter 393 Ungrateful thing?
The village chief is the village chief after all, and he has some power.
Seeing that Lan Dazhuang did not obey his arrangements and did not care about the lives of other people in the village, the village chief was so angry that he finally wanted to exercise his power!
"Lan Dazhuang! What you brothers and sisters are contracting is the back mountain of our village! If you really want to go your own way and don't think about the people in the village, then you brothers and sisters will not be allowed to contract the back mountain in the future!"
The village chief knew that his words were equivalent to cutting off the Lan family brothers and sisters' financial path.
He couldn't believe that Lan Dazhuang was still so insistent!
Lan Dazhuang did not expect that the village head of their village, who had a good relationship with his father at the time, could actually say such shameless words!
At this moment, he finally understood what it means to look beyond the appearance of a person!
In the past, the image of the village chief in the village was respectable.
But now, respect be damned!
Lan Dazhuang was also angry! He responded directly——
"Village Chief, we signed a fifteen-year contract to contract the back mountain! If you don't fulfill the contract privately, we brothers and sisters will go to court with you!"
Lan Dazhuang is not afraid either. He believes in the fairness of the law and will seek justice for their brother and sister!
Across the way, the village chief stared angrily when he heard this.
"Lan Dazhuang! Your father doesn't dare to say that to me!"
But Lan Dazhuang felt it didn't matter, "My father is my father, and I am me."
Should I not be able to resist when being bullied, but should I just let others bully me?
He has an attitude of not being afraid of heaven or earth, "Everything must be done according to the king's law. Anyway, I have a clear conscience."
Speaking of this, Lan Dazhuang looked at the village chief who was invited to his home ten minutes ago. Now he even wanted to ask him to leave.
At this time, he heard the village chief say again, "Fifteen years will eventually come to an end! If you don't help with the village affairs this time, when the time limit expires, you won't be able to contract the back mountain again!"
The village chief's words were a threat.
He also felt that what he said would definitely make Lan Dazhuang worry and change his selfish thoughts.
But Lan Dazhuang is not one to be scared!
Only then did he realize that when he signed the contract, his younger sister asked him to add a sentence to the contract in front of the village chief: 'If the land contract expires and needs to be renewed, the Lan family brother and sister have first priority in renewing the contract.'
In other words, after the fifteen-year contract for the back mountain they contracted expires, only if the Lan family gives up on renewing the contract can the village contract the back mountain to others.
So the village chief’s threats are in vain!
Perhaps it has been several years since the incident and the village chief has forgotten about it.
So Lan Dazhuang brought it up with "kindness" at this time to help the village chief recall and reminisce.
He chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm on his seemingly honest face.
"Village Chief, have you not read the contract for so long that you have forgotten that we, the Lan family brothers and sisters, have the first priority in contract renewal?"
"Don't worry, after the contract expires in fifteen years, we will continue to renew it, so whether we can contract the backend is not up to you. We have to follow the contract and follow the procedures, right?"
Lan Dazhuang's light-sounding words really made the village chief angry!
The village chief stared, and for a moment he even felt so choked up that he couldn't breathe!
He covered his chest that was rising and falling violently and said loudly, "Wow! I didn't expect that your son of the Lan family was so heartless! He didn't care about the feelings between the neighbors in the village at all! I remember when everyone in our village worked together,
They all eat from the big pot!”
After the village chief finished speaking, he didn't want to continue arguing with Lan Dazhuang, "You guys have no conscience, I'll tell your father!"
The village chief felt that based on the decades of relationship between him and Lan Shengli when they were young, Lan Shengli would definitely not be as selfish as his son Lan Dazhuang!
When the time comes for me to take care of my son, doesn’t Lan Dazhuang have to listen to his father?
But the village chief was wrong. Lan Dazhuang didn't want to do this at all.
"Village chief, please go slowly. By the way, I forgot to tell you. The contract for the back hill, the construction of orchards and free-range chicken farms, and the two other factories that our family will open in the future have nothing to do with my parents. They are entirely our brothers and sisters.
Four people pooled their money together to build this property, so it's useless for you to look for my parents."
Lan Dazhuang told the truth and even gave the village chief a warning in advance.
But the village chief didn't think so.
In his opinion, the rules passed down by the ancestors for hundreds of years, and the son must obey me!
He didn't believe that Lan Shengli would ignore this matter.
I don’t believe that the Lan Dazhuang brothers and sisters really don’t listen to their father?
But the village chief did not think at this moment that although the Lan family has always doted on their daughter, this does not mean that Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang are not good to their son.
Otherwise, they would not support their sons to take the exams one by one.
Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were not native villagers. They were educated youths who came to the countryside from the city and did not have the feudal ideas of rural people.
They are open-minded, and after their sons grow up and can take responsibility for themselves, they will no longer interfere in their sons' affairs.
So even if the village chief complained about this matter to Lan Shengli, it would be useless.
Neither Lan Shengli nor Chang Chunfang will force their children to do anything they don’t want to do!
Besides, who would take out their own money and share it with others when nothing happens?
Lan Shengli, who has been doing business outside for the past two years, knows best that if you want to make money, you have to pay. As long as you have the hands and feet, you can make money and not starve to death.
So when the village chief returned and called Lan Shengli in Linjiang City in the evening, the reply he got was--
"Liangping, you are the village chief. You can't even say anything, so what's the point of me opening my mouth?"
"The contracting of the back mountain was indeed caused by my sons and daughters and had nothing to do with me at all."
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Chunfang and I have grown old and have long since stopped caring about our children's affairs. Whether they are doing well or not, I can't help. I just don't do any harm."
There was something in Lan Shengli's words. While he refused the village chief's request to suppress his children as a father, he also said that he did not want to hinder his children.
The village chief can sit in his current position, and he is definitely not the kind of person who is dumb and unable to understand.
Now seeing that his old friends from the village cadre group rejected his plan and showed no concern for the life and death of the villagers, he could only curse.
"Lan Shengli! When you and your wife came to the village as educated youths, my father was the village chief and took great care of you. He didn't even let you farm for many years before he arranged jobs for you."
"Now I want to ask you for some help, but you won't help me. Your whole family is ungrateful!"
Village chief Wang Liangping was furious!
Although he is the village chief, he and Lan Shengli had a relationship when they were young, so when he faced Lan Shengli, it was not a relationship between the village leader and the villagers, but a shouting match between friends.
But he regarded Lan Shengli as a friend, but Lan Shengli didn't care about their previous friendship at all. Wang Liang was so angry that he just wanted to curse.
