Jiang Zhennan was naturally obligated. Moreover, since the land was already sold, it was despicable for the Zhou couple to use this method to occupy it.
Jiang Zhennan, Guo Bing, and the others immediately rolled up their pants and sleeves and took to the field to pluck out the seedlings. Jiang Zhennan was expressionless, and Guo Bing was indifferent. The others looked a little heartbroken. Anyway, this is food. Wasting food is a severe punishment.
However, this was their order. Plus, their boss and first lieutenant had already taken out the seeds.
At first, the three-person Zhou Ping family was weeding the weeds on the ridge and getting rid of the old yellow seedlings while quietly observing Lin Yuelan's movements.
They thought that since their rice seeds had been planted, Lin Yuelan would at most come to spar with them. At that moment, they only needed to cry to gain everyone's sympathy. Due to the moral pressure, Lin Yuelan had to allow them to continue working in the fields. Next season, they will do the same. It was a happy ending for everyone.
Clearly, Lin Yuelan knew their plan. That's why he's so cruel. He refused to let the Zhou Ping family take advantage of him at all. He told the people to pull out the seeds.
Seeing what Jiang Zhennan and his men were doing, Zhou Ping, his wife, and their son Zhou Lin immediately rushed over with hoes and sickles in their hands. They are ready to fight. However, when they saw the imposing army, the Zhou Ping family of three became bashful. They looked at these people with fear.
However, Zhou Ping still gathered his courage and asked firmly, “Who are you? What are you doing uprooting the seedlings in my field? Leaving!”
Lin Yuelan's sharp eyes looked at Zhou Ping family's angry and frightened expression. He sneered and said coldly, “Your field? Zhou Ping, have you all forgotten that this piece of land has been sold to me? Since it's mine, why can't I pluck the weeds in my field? What does this have to do with you?”
When Zhou Ping family heard this, they looked a little embarrassed and angry. No matter what, their family land had indeed been sold. But they also have to make a living. Without these fields, how could their family of three survive?
In addition, his son was past the age of marriage. If he can't find a wife, will he be single for the rest of his life?
So, once his son got married and had children, how did they raise them without fields? Therefore, they were unable to let Lin Yuelan's people damage the seedlings.
Zhou Ping immediately put on a pitiful expression and pleaded and said, “Nona, I know that my family's land has been sold to you, but I beg you, let us plant for another year. Our family sold everything a while ago because we had an emergency. Our lives are poor. I implore you to be compassionate and give our family of three a way out!”
She cried. He looked pitiful and pathetic!
It was a busy agricultural season, so there were many villagers working in the fields. They had followed the commotion in Zhou Ping's field. They were shocked when Jiang Zhennan and his people plucked the seedlings without a second thought. It's just a sin.
The Zhou Family Villagers were very familiar with the Zhou Ping family.
They knew that Zhou Ping's son, Zhou Lin, was a gambler. However, Zhou Ping and his wife worked day and night to make a living. They are skinny and weak. This leads them to a lot of sympathy.
People will always sympathize with the weak.
Looking at Zhou Ping tears and snot, someone stood up and said, “Nona, look at Zhou Ping family. They sold their land. Without land, they cannot survive. Since this field is already planted, Miss, can you let them work on it? They will return the fields to you next year.”
That person's mind was filled with doubt as he asked this. ‘Did this girl buy Zhou Ping land? But this girl is fair and clean. Plus, isn't he too young? He saw about ten. How could a girl as young as that buy five Mu of Zhou Ping's land? Maybe his family bought him land.’
Then, the man turned to look at the men on the field. He said, “Male, you must be the girl's family. Uncle Zhou's family lives in poverty. They really had no other choice, so they planted seedlings. How can you be so cruel plucking seedlings?” The man's tone became louder. He was furious at Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan.
Jiang Zhennan stepped on the seedlings in the field, and he raised his head. His face that had been smeared with black medicine looked extremely frightening. Adding that to Jiang Zhennan's fierce aura, the face of the person defending Zhou Ping family turned white in an instant. His eyes and expression revealed fear as if he had seen something terrifying.
Jiang Zhennan's words made everyone gasp. This man with a powerful aura was actually a servant? What the fuck?
The most unbelievable thing was that the Zhou Ping family field was actually bought by a child. But they still thought Lin Yuelan's family bought the land.
Even though the Zhou Family Village and the Lin Family Village were neighbors and they had heard that the Lin Family Village had a curse that would bring bad luck to her family and husband, she said, Lin Yuelan had never come out of the Lin Family Village, and outsiders rarely set foot in the Lin Family Village. Therefore, the villagers of the Zhou family did not know who Lin Yuelan was.
Lin Yuelan looked into the eyes of these people, and the corner of her mouth curved up. He asked coldly, “What if I don't want to give them mercy?”
Hearing Lin Yuelan's words, someone immediately stomped his feet and scolded her, “Do you even have sympathy? Can't you see how pitiful the Zhou Ping family is? They will be working the land for the next season. It's not that they didn't give the land to you.”
“How can you be sure of that?” Lin Yuelan replied coldly, “please straighten this. What does that have to do with me whether their family is pathetic or not? I'm not the one doing this to them! If they wanted to blame someone, they could only blame their own son for being a gambler!”
Lin Yuelan was not a saint.
“Again, these fields have already been sold to me. I have a ownership deed. So why do I let them use my land for another season for free?”
“But, they've planted the seeds. Can't you be compassionate and let them finish working this season?” The people from the Zhou Family Village were clearly siding with themselves.
“Because you are so good, why don't you let them plant in your fields?” Lin Yuelan retorted sharply.
When those people heard this, they immediately stopped talking. Their families did not have enough land for themselves, so how could they give their land to the Zhou Ping family?
However, someone was still stubborn and said, “This field used to belong to the Zhou Ping family. In addition, they have planted seeds. Removing these seeds is a waste. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?”
The ancient people believed in superstition. Those who waste food will be struck by lightning.
“I don't care about that. I only care that ever since I bought this field, it's mine, Lin Yuelan. Without my permission, no one can plant anything in this field! ” Lin Yuelan's eyes were sharp, and her tone was firm and fierce. He then looked at Jiang Zhennan and the others in the fields and said loudly, “Keep all the weeds in the fields. If you don't finish this, there won't be lunch today!”
“Please don't!” Guo Bing and the others panicked upon hearing that. They immediately proceeded to pluck out the seedlings.
These days, they were completely immersed in Lin Yuelan's incredible cooking skills. They could not imagine what would happen when they left and could not eat Lin Yuelan's cooking anymore.
However, when the villagers heard Lin Yuelan's name, their faces turned pale with fear. ‘Isn't that the name of the curse of the Lin family Village? Anyone close to him will be in big trouble.’
Thinking of this, other than the Zhou Ping family, the people around them immediately took a few steps back. Even Zhou Ping's wife and children moved.
Someone looked at Lin Yuelan and asked in a low voice, “Are you cursing the Lin family Village, Lin yuelan?”
Lin Yuelan smiled and nodded. “Ya!”
As soon as he said that, everyone except Zhou Ping family and Lin Yuelan group dispersed.
