He is from the end of the world

Lin Rong's attitude was very serious, even Lin Chi was taken aback by him: "Did something happen?"

Lin Yi and Li Yan looked at the two of them.

Lu Ciyu shook his head: "It's nothing serious."

"Then Lin Chi and I will leave first, and we will come to see my sister when I have time. When my sister has nothing to do, she can also come to sit at the house."

Lin Yi got up in a hurry to see her off, but Li Yan wanted to persuade her to stay but couldn't say anything, so she could only watch Lu Ciyu and the others arrive at the courtyard gate to say goodbye and then turned and left.

Seeing Lin Yi turning around and walking back, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll go too...".

Li Yan has a lot of things to say in his heart, but his current status is really inappropriate.He originally planned to stay a little longer for the sake of Lu Ciyu and Lin Chizai, but now that the two of them have left, he can't stay any longer as a man and widow.

Li Yan sighed, paused at the gate of the courtyard, then turned and left.

Lin Yi stood in front of the door for a while, and only after a while did she regain her senses.Everyone outside the door pointed at her and said something, she closed the door and turned back to the yard.

------

"Master Lu? Do you know what's wrong?" The temperature in spring was not too high, and Lin Rong was sweating profusely.Lin Chi looked a little worried, for fear that something serious happened in the village.

Lu Ciyu held his hand: "I guess it should be something local, nothing to be afraid of."

Lin Chi looked puzzled, he hadn't realized which piece of land it was.

Lu Ciyu followed Lin Rong silently, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Not only was Lizheng in the room, but all the village elders that Lu Ciyu had never seen before, familiar and unfamiliar, all gathered together, it was like a recognition meeting.

He entered the room and took a look, and the Li family in Lijia Village was also sitting beside him.Beside him was a familiar middle-aged man who was also on the river that day, and probably accompanied him today.

Lin Rong also knew that it was inconvenient for her to be present on such an occasion, so she turned around and was about to leave. Before going out, Aunt Hui called Lin Chi in a low voice: "Brother Chi, come here and let's go out."

This group of people who were usually respected in the village sat together and surrounded Lu Ciyu, and the momentum was so heavy that it was like several trials.

The main house of Lizheng's house was not big, and the air crowded by dozens of them was inexplicably dull.Lu Ciyu stood alone in the middle of the room, receiving all kinds of inquiries and curiosity from the crowd, and Lin Chi felt very distressed when he saw it.

He shook his head vigorously at Aunt Hui.

Lu Ciyu sighed, raised his hand and beckoned, "Come here."

Lin Chi ran up to him in a few steps, blocking most of his sight.

Lu Ciyu inexplicably began to feel emotional again.

At first, Lin Chi would be afraid to say a few words to this kid, but now he dares to directly confront these clan elders for him.The opponent's body trembled slightly, Lu Ciyu pulled him behind her.

Lizheng really couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't agree with the ideas of these clan elders, so he quickly said: "Xiao Lu, there are stools beside you, just sit on it."

Lu Ciyu nodded, grabbed a wooden chair that was borrowed from nearby villagers when the clan elder came over, and sat on it to look at the crowd.

"What's the matter today, elders?"

The Li family wanted the Lin family to say it, and the Lin family did the same. The two people looked at each other for a long time, and finally turned to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng: "...".

"That's right." He hesitated before saying, "The land that the village sold to you a few days ago...we want to buy it back."

Lu Ciyu trembled, and raised his head to look directly at him: "Uncle, are you joking?"

Now that Li Zheng opened his mouth, the people behind can pick it up easily. The second uncle that Lu Ciyu saw when he came here for the first time coughed: "That's right, that's it."

"The Lijia Village on the mountain was hit by a flood, and the whole village was uninhabitable. We are the only nearby village that can help them. Lizheng from Lijia Village brought people to us for help."

He added the two syllables "bang" and "begging" emphatically.

He also didn't want to really have a bad relationship with Lu Ciyu, so he could only tactfully say: "They are all from the villagers, and we can't watch the people in their village sleep outside... But our village is such a big place, after thinking about it, only The piece of land opposite the village is available...".

"Of course, these things are all confirmed and true. I just sent someone to go to the mountain to see them."

Lu Ciyu dissatisfied: "But we have already signed the contract, with black and white letters and red handprints, and the government has proof!"

The second uncle sighed: "We too... I'm sorry... So Xiao Lu, look at the price, no matter what the price is, as long as the village can accept it, it will definitely agree to you."

Lu Ciyu's eyes widened and his chest heaved uncontrollably. It was obvious that he was hit hard by the news. Lin Chi was also taken aback by what they said. When he looked up, he saw Mr. Lu's appearance, so he could only hold Lu Ci. Yu's hand wanted to comfort him.

Unexpectedly, the palm was gently scratched instead.

Lu Ciyu still had that unbelievable expression on his face: "Uncle, you know, I'm going to use that land to build a factory. I even contacted the brick workers, but now you want to buy it back... Aren't you kidding me?"

How could Lizheng not know, Lu Ciyu visited his house almost three times a day in the past few days, either asking him if he knew a nearby village with a stone-making workshop, or asking him when is the right time to send a message in the village to recruit workers.

Originally, Li Zheng was only [-]% interested in this matter, but he was tossed into twelve parts by his running around.

It was precisely because he knew how much Lu Ciyu valued this in his heart that he was extremely helpless at this time.

The clan in the village can't just watch the people in Lijia Village die.

But they don't have so many places in their own village, so if they want to take in people, they can only vacate that piece of land.

The clan elders are not willing to give up the huge profits in the factory, but what can they do.

Lu Ciyu didn't want to embarrass Li Zheng, so he turned to look at Second Uncle Lin: "Second Uncle, Mr. Xue just sent me back the news yesterday that he has already signed the contract and order for bricks, but today you want If I sell the land back, what should I do with the money that violated the contract?!"

Li Zheng of Li Family Village patted the table: "Presumptuous, I heard that you are still a scholar, and you actually talk to elders like that?"

Lu Ciyu didn't miss the flash of disgust in the eyes of the senior elders, and said back to him: "Li Lizheng, the place you want to live is still under my name, please recognize this fact before speaking."

The other party's next words were instantly stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.

"The money for the breach of contract should have been paid by the people of Lijia Village." The second uncle said openly.

Li Zheng of Li's Village turned pale when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it.

Lu Ciyu pressed his temples and let out a long sigh: "I've been confused by you... The problem now is not the money in the contract, but... If I sell this land back, what will happen to the factory?"

He seemed to have grasped some life-saving straw suddenly and stared at the people in front of him: "All the clan elders know how profitable this factory will be in the future when it is built, at least a few dozen taels a day. I have been preparing for this for so long , isn’t it all a waste of thought?”

"Our village is only this big, and the land is given to them to live in. Where will my factory be built?!"

There is only such a big place near the village, and the land is given to them to live in. Lu Ciyu can no longer find a suitable place to build a factory.

These clan elders feel a little uncomfortable about cutting off people's wealth for no reason.

All of them had hoped that their juniors could get a small profit from Lu Ciyu's factory, and some of them even had a small meeting at home to emphasize it.Seeing that my family is about to become rich, but the factory was ruined by them first...

The clan elders have all seen the blueprints, and the drawings are densely packed, each of which is Lu Ciyu's painstaking effort. The clan elders were also afraid that they would really get into trouble with Lu Ciyu, so they looked at each other and said: "If you Lu, if you are willing to give up this land, our entire Yangning Village owes you a favor."

Lu Ciyu didn't answer, and took a long time to let out a sigh: "Clan elders, do you have to let them live in?" He didn't mention a word about buying it back, and just said that he wanted Li Family Village to live in.

Second Uncle Lin didn't react for a while: "Yes."

"How long will they live? Three days and five days? Three years and five years?"

"We'll move back when the water recedes," the middle-aged man replied.

"Have the clan elders really thought about it? My factory earns dozens of taels a day, and it's just because of this?"

Second Uncle Lin clenched his fists: "Yes."

Lu Ciyu fell back on the chair, as if all his strength had been exhausted: "It's not impossible to live here."

Everyone was overjoyed.

"But I have one condition."

"Tell me." Second Uncle Lin looked at him.

"I don't sell this land, I rent it." Lu Ciyu said.

"We can sign a deed, and the Li family can live here, but the land deed remains in my hands. This is my final bottom line."

Several members of the clan looked at each other, feeling that Lu Ciyu still hadn't given up on that factory, so they murmured for a while before saying, "Yes."

Lu Ciyu froze, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"If I knew, if I knew, I would have surrounded it with wood." Lu Ciyu said with a dry smile.

Second Uncle Lin sighed, and this kid did too. He finally found a way to get rich but was ruined by them.Lu Ciyu is a sensible person, and he is the only one who is so sensible to be so obedient. For some people in the village, cutting off people's fortunes is simply murdering their lives, even if they say flowers and say they will go to heaven. Afraid that the other party would not respond.

This kid has read books and has a thin skin, so he reluctantly complied because he knew they would find it difficult.

It's too much for these old people to suppress a junior with their identities.

Second Uncle Lin coughed: "Our entire village owes you a favor, and I thank you here."

------

The two left the courtyard together.

Lin Chi had some doubts in his heart, but when he saw Lu Ciyu's distraught appearance, he lost all thoughts in an instant, and his heart was full of unbearable and distressed: "Mr. Lu...".

Lu Ciyu turned to look at him: "Huh?"

"Silver, money can be earned again..." So don't be unhappy...

Lu Ciyu sighed, and said in a low voice, "You really think I'll be unhappy about this?"

Lin Chi:? ? ?

"No, no, I'm actually very happy." Lu Ciyu led him to walk a few steps quickly, and the two of them quickly escaped the sight of the villagers. After reaching a remote place at the foot of the mountain, Lu Ciyu continued.

"Don't you know what kind of character I am? I didn't think about building any factory at all. I worked hard and took time. These are all used to fool them."

Lin Chi's eyes widened.

"From the very beginning, my plan was just this piece of land. If I don't show them some profit prospects, how can they sell it to me?"

Lin Chi's face was filled with disbelief: "Why?"

Lu Ciyu took his hand and walked back: "First, the whole village owes me a favor for this matter, and the clan elders will only think that they have treated me badly, and what I want to do in the future will go well or not. Second, I will use this piece of land sooner or later, but not just now, the title deed is in my hands and I can rest assured."

"Thirdly, how much money my factory can make the people in the village, they are all clear in their hearts. Now because of the incident in Lijia Village, I've got to" be forced to give up the factory. You don't think they will feel heartbroken. Are you not reconciled? I am the most innocent and wronged person in this matter. Whether there is fire in the clan or the people in the village, I can only spread it on the people in Lijia Village."

This move directly pushed the entire Lijia Village to the opposite of Yangning Village. After all, everyone in the village knew that the thirty Wen a day wages that could be pocketed in the future were due to these people.

How much Lu Ciyu boasted about the benefits he could get after the factory was built at that time, the people in the village would be so displeased when they saw the people in Lijia Village in the future.

"What is the scale of Yangning Village, and what is the scale of Lijia Village? They can only bear it passively if they are angry."

"Fourth, do you think these elders in our village will give up their place for people to live in? They must have reached some agreement before you and I came to Uncle Lizheng's house."

"The clan elders in our village are smarter than each other. I'm afraid the Li family village is about to bleed."

"The fifth...".

Lu Ciyu paused: "The land deed is in our hands. The people of the Li family...whether they can live and how long they want to stay depends on our mood. They can't help but drive out whoever doesn't like it."

"From now on, their every move will be bound by us."

"But how can Mr. Lu be sure that the clan elders will definitely choose to force you to retreat? After all, the factory can earn so much money, what if they choose to keep the money and refuse Li Family Village's request for help?"

Lu Ciyu smiled and shook his head: "Impossible."

"In our village, the two surnames Lin and Li are the largest, and [-]% of the voice in the village is held in their hands. The two Li surnames are still a family for several generations. You can know from Li Yan."

"It's impossible for them to see their distant family members wandering around and helpless." The spring is cold, and if they are not taken in, will these people from Lijia Village sleep outside on the floor in the open air?It will kill people.

"Even if they don't want to care about it in their hearts, do they still want their reputation? Watching their clansmen plead for help but refuse to take action, watching their clansmen freeze to death and starve to death? This is a village, a countryside, where reputation is more important than human life. These clan elders I don’t want to bear such a bad name when I’m here.”

If they are willing to help, they will help, and if they are not willing to help, they can only help.

"I just bought a piece of land in advance that I will use sooner or later, but I have received so many great benefits for nothing, so how can I be unhappy?"
