Chapter 148: They Went to Chen Sheng’s House Again
“Chen Li, why did you come to our house again?”
Early the next morning, Chen Li and Yun Xi packed their luggage and arrived at the village where Chen Sheng’s house was located.
Chen Xin was just about to leave the house for the toilet when he saw the figures of these two people.
When the two of them approached the house, Chen Xin said those words in a dissatisfied voice.
“Naturally, I’m here to talk to you about the division of the land. If we don’t make things clear today, your family might deny us of our rights in the future. Isn’t that adding trouble for myself?” Yun Xi said.
“Come in and talk!” Chen Sheng said from inside the house. Only then did Chen Xin reluctantly open the door.
After entering the door, they saw Chen Sheng right away. He looked like he had aged a little after not seeing him for two days. He was probably worried about the land and his son’s marriage.
Chen Sheng was addicted to smoking and was now smoking his big pipe. Perhaps smoking the big pipe was the only thing he could do now to relieve his inner frustration.
Yun Xi scanned the house from inside and did not find Liu Wei. However, Yun Xi was also clear that Liu Wei must have gone to meet her lover. However, now was not a good time to expose Liu Wei’s true colors.
“Our family’s land is all flat. It starts from the willow tree at the east end of the village until the seventeenth willow tree. This area is our family’s land. “This piece of land does not include Chen Li’s portion, so can take Liu Wei and Chen Xin’s portion from here.”
“That’s right.”
Yun Xi could not see through this man at the moment. He laid down and puffed out one smoke ring after another. His words were logical and pertinent. He did not cause a ruckus just even as they came for the land.
“Chen Xin is still young and does not have his own family, so it would be a little inappropriate to split the land by headcount. Moreover, my wife is just a woman and she can’t do much physical work on the land. You can take the land from the first willow tree at the east side of the village all the way till the ninth willow tree.”
It turned out that they had divided the land in such an orderly manner. They were actually waiting for them. This was the first time Yun Xi heard that the land allocated to a family was not divided according to the headcount, but according to the labor force. Of course, this was just Chen Sheng’s way to leave more land for himself. This old man really did have a cunning plan.
“At that time, when the villagers distributed the land, they were divided according to headcount. How come when you transfer the land to us, it was not divided accordingly?”
“When did the villagers distribute the land base on headcount? Everyone in the family would just be given a piece of land to plant together. It wasn’t so precise that everyone would need a lot. The contract we signed at that time only stated that you wanted the land under Chen Xin and Liu Wei’s names. There’s nothing unreasonable for me to distribute it like this. I’ve already given half of our family’s land to you. Chen Li, after all, I’m also your biological father. I hope you can at least leave me a way out!”
The first few words he said were to reason with Yun Xi, while the last few were to play the emotional card with Chen Li.
Yun Xi was not in a hurry. She thought that since she had already obtained the land under Chen Xin and Liu Wei’s names, it was just a matter of time before Chen Sheng’s land would also fall into Chen Li’s hands.
After all, Chen Sheng only had one biological daughter. If he wanted Chen Li to take care of him, he had to take out this piece of land. If he did not need Chen Li to take care of him, then he would sever all ties with her. Yun Xi would use this piece of land as a troublesome price she had to pay to get things in place.
Chen Li shook Yun Xi’s arm. She felt that humans should have a bottom line and not cause trouble for others. Moreover, no matter how bad Chen Sheng’s words sounded, he was still her biological father. Chen Li was still reluctant to force their family into a desperate situation.
“That’s right, that’s right. You can’t force our family into a desperate situation, right?” Chen Xin still spoke from the side without a care. He had no idea what would happen in the future.
