Chapter 1052: Stepping Stones in the Chronicles 6
That night, the night fell, everything was silent, it was pitch black, only the wind was whistling. Taking advantage of the quiet time, Old Lady Li picked up the hoe and walked out of the room carefully, fearing to wake up the people sleeping around her.
In this era, people's lives are very monotonous, and there are not many entertainment activities to choose from, so everyone is used to going to bed early and getting up early. Mrs. Li took advantage of this, and she was convinced that going out at this time would definitely not attract anyone's attention.
Mrs. Li was filled with excitement and anticipation. She walked briskly toward the land, as if she had seen the gold from her previous life waving at her. She couldn't wait to start digging, and every hoe was filled with a desire for wealth.
According to her memory, Mrs. Li accurately found the most likely location to dig gold, and then she swung her hoe without hesitation, digging again and again. However, as time went by, her hopes gradually faded - there was nothing under the land!
Old Lady Li couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, but she didn't give up easily. She firmly believed that her memory was correct and the gold from her previous life must be here. So she decided to continue digging, changing the angle and position, and she must find the lost treasure.
Old Mrs. Li dug for several nights in a row, digging up the entire field, but found nothing.
However, he did not give up easily. Instead, he firmly believed that he had not dug deep enough.
He thought to himself: "If it is so easy to dig up gold, then the treasure must have been taken by others long ago. Maybe the gold is buried deeper underground!"
So, instead of being discouraged, Mrs. Li was full of energy. She continued to work hard, digging deeper and deeper, and she was sure that as long as she worked hard enough, she would be able to dig up the coveted gold.
However, reality dealt her heavy blows time and again. Although she dug deeper and deeper, she still found nothing.
Mrs. Li, who was originally full of confidence and had everything planned out, suddenly began to doubt her memory. She couldn't help but think to herself: Could it be that I really remembered it wrong?
However, it didn't take long for Mrs. Li's doubts to disappear. After careful consideration, she finally determined that she was absolutely not wrong!
So, what exactly is the problem? The only possible variable seems to fall on Ranqi. Could it be that Ranqi already knows the secret of the gold buried in the ground?
The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the more she felt that this must be the case. Her anger was instantly ignited. Well, this Ran Qi was so insidious and cunning, and he harmed her like this!
Not only did they dig up all the gold in the land, but they also sold the land to her at such a high price. Wasn't it obvious that they were treating her as a sucker to be slaughtered at will?
Old Lady Li kept muttering to herself, "I have worked hard all my life to save up all my belongings to buy the land. I had hoped to make a fortune from the gold in the land, but now I have nothing left. How will I live in the future?" The more she thought about it, the more she felt dizzy and her vision went dark.
"Ran Qi..." Old Mrs. Li clenched her teeth tightly, her heart filled with resentment. This matter absolutely could not be let go like this!
The next morning, just after dawn, Mrs. Li couldn't wait to find Ranqi's house. This time, she was not as polite as before.
"Ranqi, come out!" Old Mrs. Li stood at the door and shouted at the top of her voice.
Ran Qi opened the door slowly and was surprised to see Mrs. Li looking aggressive, but she pretended to be calm and asked, "Mrs. Li, what's the matter with you coming to see me so early?"
"Did you dig up everything in the ground?" Old Mrs. Li asked, her eyes wide open and staring at Ran Qi.
Ran Qi looked confused and answered innocently: "What? Didn't I sell all the land to you? Now that piece of land has nothing to do with me!"
"Stop playing dumb with me!" Old Lady Li was furious. "You dug up the things in the field and sold them to me at such a high price. Today you either return the money to me or hand over the things in the field to me!"
"What is it? I haven't even looked at the land since I sold it to you. Don't talk nonsense!" He looked impatient, as if what the other party said was complete nonsense.
"What's wrong with me selling it to you for eight thousand? I've always said that I wouldn't buy that piece of land, but you insisted that you liked it and begged me to sell it to you. Why are you coming to me to complain now?" His voice became louder and louder, with a hint of anger.
It was indeed because Old Lady Li was sure that there was gold in the land that she was willing to pay such a high price to buy the land. However, now it has been proven that there is no gold in the land at all, which naturally made Old Lady Li unwilling to give up.
"You took the things from the land and cheated me out of a lot of money. Come and see, Ranqi sold me a piece of land for 8,000 yuan. It was a rip-off!" Old Mrs. Li's voice was particularly loud in the crowd and attracted the attention of many people around.
"What? Eight thousand yuan?" This number shocked everyone present. Many people began to whisper, accusing Ran Qi of being a black-hearted person.
Ran Qi put her hands on her hips, looking very confident. Her voice was clear and loud, as if the whole room could hear her words: "It's true that I offered eight thousand, but you can choose not to buy it! Did I put a knife to your neck and force you to buy it? This is clearly a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten!"
Her words revealed her dissatisfaction and ridicule towards the other party, as if she felt that the other party was being unreasonable. Then, Ran Qi continued, "If your land can be sold for 8,000 yuan, would you not sell it? I don't believe it!"
This sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing the opponent's vital point. Indeed, if their own land could be sold at such a high price, they would have sold it impatiently. However, it was really unreasonable to blame Ran Qi here now.
Moreover, from the beginning to the end, Ran Qi did not force Old Lady Li to sell the land, everything was done voluntarily by Old Lady Li. Now Old Lady Li is making a fuss here again, which is really confusing.
It was indeed Old Lady Li who came to ask Ranqi to sell the land, so it was unjustifiable to make such a fuss now.
But Mrs. Li was unwilling to give up. If she couldn't get the money back, she would have no hope in the future.
"You're the one who cheated me. You dug out the things in the land in advance and then sold the land to me. If it wasn't for the things in the land, would I have paid such a high price?"
