Chapter 62: It's all in Yi Mingxue's way
Initially, everyone thought that Yi Mingxue would cry out for injustice.
Unexpectedly, she went against the grain and sued the village chief directly.
The village chief was so angry that his beard was shaking, "Yi Daya, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Yi Mingxue directly handed the deed in her hand to the village elder.
"This is the deed of leasing Xishan signed by Li Zhongqing and me, as well as the receipt from him for charging me one tael of silver in rent."
Fortunately, she had been cautious, otherwise she might have been bullied by the village chief today.
"No! I never signed these things! They were all forged by her."
The village chief knew that there was no way out from this matter, and he had made plans early in the morning.
Anyway, no one was present when these receipts and contracts were signed.
If he refuses to admit it, there is nothing Yi Mingxue can do against him.
"Old Mingjian, this woman has never had a good reputation in our village. She used to be lazy, beat her younger siblings all day long, and even tried to sell her younger sister to a brothel! Everyone in our village knows this.
What does it mean for a person with such a despicable character to forge a deed?" The village chief took the lead in citing Yi Mingxue's past misdeeds.
Aunt Li on the side couldn't help it anymore and retorted directly to him, "Village chief...how could you say that! That was all in the past, and today's Daya has long since changed her ways!"
I never thought that just such a sentence would cause the village chief to grab the whip.
"I don't know if he has reformed or not! But by saying this, is it equivalent to admitting that Yi Daya was despicable and treacherous in the past?"
"I didn't... you..." Aunt Li was shocked to find herself being spoken to by the village chief.
I wanted to explain, but at this moment, Boss Yi and his family also came out of the crowd.
Although Boss Yi's waist injury was cured, the root cause of the disease has since fallen into place, and now he cannot straighten up.
He was hunched over and holding a wooden stick. He looked a bit pitiful indeed.
The family walked up to the three village elders and knelt on the ground without any explanation.
"Old folks! Old folks, you have to make the decision for our family!"
"I am Yi Mingxue's uncle. My second brother and sister-in-law have been missing for two years! In the past two years, my mother-in-law and I have been taking care of the children of the second family. But I never thought that Yi Daya has a bad temper.
Not only did she bully Ba Shi, but she also beat me, my uncle! Look at my waist, this is what she was asked to beat! She broke three bones in my life!"
"Yes! Three gentlemen! She also asked her to take over the two acres of winter wheat we planted!" Aunt Yi helped at the right time.
In such remote villages, the villagers value family ties the most.
Generally speaking, if the relationship between a family is at loggerheads, the person will not have a good impression.
I saw that the expressions of the three people were relaxed.
Mr. Chen directly asked Yi Mingxue with a dark face.
"Yi Mingxue, is what they said true?"
Yi Mingxue stood there, facing everyone's attacks, her expression remained calm.
After hearing Mr. Chen's question, she slowly said, "No."
"Oh? Then tell me, what's going on?" said Zhang Lao on the side.
"First of all, my uncle said that I hit him, which is not true. Strictly speaking, I was just trying to save my third sister. That day he chased and slashed a six-year-old girl with a knife. He would kill anyone who tried to dissuade him. It was completely
It's a state of madness! I was just in a hurry, subduing a madman who might go around killing people."
"Yes, that's right!" Among the crowd were villagers who were at the scene that day, "I can testify to this!"
"Secondly, it would be even more ridiculous for my eldest aunt to say that I have seized farmland! That farmland is clearly written in the village elder's register, and the head of the household is my biological father! Now that my father is gone, I still have three
Brother! I am capable of farming myself, so why does it belong to his family? As for you saying that the winter wheat in that field belongs to her, then I would like to ask my aunt! Your wheat is planted in my field.
, who is seizing whose land?"
"This...I, I...didn't I help you plant it?" Aunt Yi was panicked for a moment and said without hesitation.
Yi Mingxue spoke quickly and immediately took over, "Oh, so you admit that this field and winter wheat belong to my family?"
"I didn't...sigh..." Seeing that she was no match for Yi Mingxue, Aunt Yi finally lowered her head.
Uncle Yi and his family were pushed to the ground and rubbed by Yi Mingxue.
The village chief was so angry that he gritted his teeth secretly; no one in this family was really useful!
In the first round of confrontation, Yi Mingxue was victorious.
…
Next, Yi Mingxue did not wait for the village chief to come out and spread rumors again.
He directly took the initiative and said, "Dear village elders, I have another piece of evidence here. It is a letter of commitment written by the village chief himself, promising that as long as I privately pay him 30% of the harvest of the melon field every year, he will help me win it for free.
All the land in the village will be used to grow melons! At that time, we only need to give each family a symbolic share of 10% and 50% of the profits."
"What?!"
Now the crowd exploded.
The reason why they chose the village chief's camp was entirely because the village chief had promised everyone.
He will ask Yi Daya to pay more rent and share more interest.
And it is guaranteed that all the income will be distributed equally to the people in the village, and you will only take the share you deserve! Never take more!
But who would have known that he would have this face behind his back!
Yi Mingxue raised the corners of her lips slightly, and as she spoke, she made a gesture to send the things in her hands to the old man.
"Nonsense! You are totally talking nonsense!" The village chief naturally heard everyone's discussion and immediately jumped up, "When did I write any letter of commitment to you? You are slandering and making false accusations!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Mingxue took back the stack of papyrus that had been handed to Mr. Zhang, seemingly unintentionally.
He said with a serious face, "The handwriting on this commitment letter is exactly the same as the receipt you wrote to me! Village chief, how about we ask the village elder to find a copy of your handwriting for verification?"
"This is nonsense! I have only written a receipt and a deed. When did I ever write a letter of commitment to you?"
As soon as these words came out, the village chief froze.
Obviously, he has already reacted.
He actually suffered from Yi Mingxue's words.
Seeing this, Yi Mingxue chuckled, "Since you admit the authenticity of the deed and the receipt, it's easy to talk about."
Before she finished speaking, she turned to face the three village elders and spoke crisply.
"My dear fellow villager, I have rented the barren hills according to the law, and I have reaped the fruits through hard work..."
"... It was the village chief Li Zhongqing who first misappropriated the rent of the entire village. Seeing that the matter was exposed and unable to make up for it, he used strong authority to force me to increase the rent and then pay more for the harvest..."
"...Such a person who takes bribes, bends the law, and disregards the law is not worthy of being a village chief! He should also get the punishment he deserves!"
"Yes! Punish Village Chief Li severely!" Someone in the crowd took the lead and shouted.
Soon, those who had long been dissatisfied with the village chief and his family also joined in.
But there are still some people who are worried about the village chief's retaliation afterwards.
I chose to sit back and watch.
Li and Zhang, two village elders, have obviously made a decision.
However, the old man surnamed Chen had a dark face.
Then a fierce roar broke out.
"Quiet, everyone!"
Chapter completed!
