It actually didn't take long for Yang to prepare lunch. In about a quarter of an hour, the meal was ready.

After the family had finished their lunch happily, they heard the sound of gongs being beaten suddenly all over the village.

This situation usually occurs when something big happens in the village and the whole village needs to be summoned.

Zhao Shuren vaguely guessed that it was about the land purchase in the morning.

He took his wife and daughter leisurely to the open space where they gathered in the village.

After waiting, Zhao Yitian realized that they had arrived quite late.

Basically all the villagers were already waiting in the open space.

However, there was also Dr. Liu who arrived just as late as their family.

Only this time, Zhao Yitian did not see the familiar young boy behind Liu Langzhong.

Also, Zhao Zhi'an is not completely from this village after all.

"We are calling everyone here now because there is an important matter to discuss."

The village chief stood at the top, coughed twice, and shouted loudly to the villagers below.

"Shuren wants to buy land. If you have this intention, you can consider selling it to him."

As soon as these words came out, people in the village were talking quietly in small groups, and many people frowned with disapproval on their faces.

What are the Zhao Shuren family thinking? Buying land is like killing a person!

Zhao Shuren and his family didn't know how many people were looking at them at this moment.

There are those who are well-intentioned and doubtful, and there are also those who are dissatisfied and jealous.

They all seemed eager to dig out the answers they wanted from Zhao Shuren and his family with their eyes.

"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet!"

Seeing that the people below were starting to get confused again, the village chief shouted again to maintain order.

"Shuren said. Whoever sells the land to him will not only get a sum of money, but he will also hire the seller to cultivate it and pay him monthly according to the harvest."

Without waiting for the reaction of the villagers below, the village chief took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and continued.

"But in order to have a long-term cooperation, the person selling the land must sign a good contract with Shuren. Shuren has been teaching in the village for many years, and everyone has always been assured of his character."

After feeling that he had said almost everything, the village chief looked up at the Zhao Shuren family who were calm and composed.

Compared with the surrounding villagers, their demeanor seemed to be from another world at all.

"You can all think about it seriously. If you are willing, come to me to register your name and sign the contract."

The village chief took out a piece of rough paper, sat at the table, prepared pen and ink, wrote his name directly at the beginning, and marked five acres of land.

This was perhaps the most daring thing he had ever done. It could not even compare to the use of ethnic studies to ask Zhao Shuren to teach the children.

This time, he trusted Zhao Shuren with all his belongings.

"Did the village chief accept the benefits from Zhao Shuren's family? He persuaded us to sell the land."

A villager was whispering to someone next to him, but the sound was so clear that everyone around him could hear it.

"No way. The village chief is a nice person. He may have been deceived, but that's not necessarily the case."

There was also a woman who immediately retorted, but the malice in her words was clearly directed at Zhao Shuren.

Many people became even more hesitant when they heard her words.

This kind of thing is equivalent to handing over the lives of the whole family, and they have to think carefully again and again.

When the crowd was noisy, a hand as dry as an old tree slowly rose up.

The owner of the hand is an old woman, Mrs. Zhao Li.

Her husband left early, and her son also went to work in the town long ago and rarely came back.

But she is already old and still suffering from ailments, and her granddaughter is still young and can only do some simple housework.

There is no man in the family, only daughter-in-law Niu is still forced to work in the fields. But even with all this busy work, there are still people in the village who talk dirty about their daughter-in-law behind her back from time to time.

Although she is getting old, she is not blind. Her daughter-in-law has lived a very hard life for their family these years.

For the old, weak, women and children like them, it is better to sell the few acres of land in their home for some money, and then trust Zhao Shuren.

"Village Chief, Shuren, I have two acres of land at home, one of which is still wasteland. How much money can it be sold for?"

Mrs. Zhao Li was helped out of the crowd by a thin woman and walked to the front to ask.

"Granny Zhao, I bought this land at the official price. Now the official price is 20 yuan per acre for fertile land and 800 yuan per acre for uncultivated land."

Zhao Shuren said this not only to Granny Zhao, but also to the hesitant villagers behind.

Seeing another commotion among the villagers, Zhao Shuren smiled slightly, then took out a deed from his arms and handed it to the village chief.

"Village Chief, this is the contract I drew up. You can take a look at it. It contains Shuren's sincerity to the villagers."

The village chief took the deed, glanced at it briefly, glanced at Zhao Shuren in surprise, and drank a large gulp of water.

"I will not read this contract. Those who are willing to sell the land can come and take a look. I can only advise everyone that anyone who misses this opportunity will definitely regret it."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao Li walked to the village chief's table with the support of her daughter-in-law and said firmly.

"Village Chief, my house is for sale, please register it."

"Aunt Zhao, you won't regret selling this land. Take a look at Shuren's contract."

Mrs. Zhao Li took the deed, but remembered that she was illiterate, so she passed it to her daughter-in-law Niu next to her.

"This……"

After Mrs. Niu took it, she stared at every word on it, turned her head to look at Zhao Shuren's family in surprise, and then looked at the smiling village chief in front of her.

"What did it say?"

Seeing that her daughter-in-law hadn't spoken for a long time, Mrs. Zhao Li felt anxious in her heart.

"Mom, it is written in the deed that in addition to farming, the Shuren family will also give priority to hiring people from our land sellers to do suitable jobs. We will be paid according to the amount of work we do every month."

When Zhao Li heard this, she was also surprised.

She originally thought she would just get a sum of money from selling the land, but she didn't expect that Shurenjia would actually provide her family with a job!

Isn't this the kind of treatment people in the city receive outside? !

"Shuren, you really saved my mother-in-law and her family!"

Mrs. Zhao Li was so excited that she burst into tears. She trembled slightly in the direction of Zhao Shuren and wanted to bend down to thank him.

Zhao Shuren hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Zhao Li up, "Mother-in-law's words are serious. Shuren is a junior and cannot bear it."

Mr. Niu next to him also recovered from his shock at this time, and quickly bowed a big gift to Zhao Shuren and his family to express his gratitude.

This time Zhao Shuren didn't stop him.

Some of the villagers in the back pricked their ears to hear what was said. But the voices of other people discussing around him were still too noisy, and I couldn't hear anything at all.

Judging from the reactions of Zhao and Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it seems that the conditions are not bad.

So, this land is for sale?

Liu Langzhong was in the crowd, listening to the various voices of the people around him, and couldn't help laughing while stroking his mustache.

I really don’t know what good can be said about these people. They are really poor and scared.

It's a pity that he has never bought land in this village before, otherwise he would really go up and give a few acres to Tiantian's family, just to add to the fun.

The grandfather of Zhao Lei's brother and sister also stood up. After repeated discussions with my wife, I decided to believe Zhao Shuren.

In their impression, Zhao Xiucai and his family are all good people!
