The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

Who would have thought that just after they said this and had no time to cry, the four people inside actually started crying in unison.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm so scared."

Lan Ning's face was covered with tears at this moment, and he ran towards the village chief pitifully, as if he was the only one who could help him at this moment.

Seeing the little girl like this, the village chief hurriedly took two steps forward, patted her on the back gently, and comforted her.

"Don't cry, Lan girl. Tell grandpa if you have anything to say. I will take care of it for you."

Lan Ning raised his head and looked at the village chief with great trust.

"Grandpa Village Chief, are you serious? Can you really make the decision for us?"

The village chief nodded affirmatively.

"Of course, tell me anything."

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, Bai Tian and Meng Anran ran to his side.

There are differences between men and women. Because Meng Anran was almost 10 years old, he just ran to stand next to the village chief and did not approach him.

And during the day, just like Lan Ning, he hugged the village chief's arm and started to complain.

"Grandpa Village Chief, they just came to our door and we kindly invited them in, but they asked us to take some silver. We refused and they said that if we didn't give them the silver, they would report us to you and drive us out of the village.

We asked them to return our land, but they refused. The land was taken away by them when Sister Lan was very young. They had two mu of land, one mu for their family. They even said they didn’t take our land and wanted to beat us. If Dabai hadn’t stopped us, we might have been beaten by them. In the past, my grandmother was beaten by their two families together and couldn’t get out of bed. How pitiful she was at that time, and Sister Lan was very young..."

Bai Tian just couldn't continue talking because he was so heartbroken, worried about his grandma and sister Lan. He was just pretending to cry, but now he was crying with real emotion, but his crying was too ugly and snot bubbles came out.

The village chief was so angry after hearing this narration that his chest heaved violently. He turned around and stared at the two groups of people behind him with an angry face.

Just now they came to them in a hurry, saying that Lan Yatou's family locked them in the yard and let wolves bite them, and asked the two men to give silver to their family, and also beat and threatened them.

He found it hard to believe what he heard, and thought that Aunt Lan and the others had become arrogant because they had money.

When he arrived, he found out that it was all nonsense from the two groups of people. He knew Aunt Lan's land, but she had never cultivated it over the years. It was these two families who cultivated it. He was a little curious and thought that these two families were helping Aunt Lan. But who knew that they had actually snatched Aunt Lan's land away. After asking him several times, these two families still lied to him.

"I didn't expect that in addition to the Zhang family, our Luojia Village also hid your inhuman things. Four years ago, Aunt Lan had a very difficult life. Her husband, son, and daughter-in-law were all..."

The village chief was about to say something when he looked down and saw Lan Ning still crying, so he skipped this part.

"When she was having such a hard time, you came and took away her land, and even beat her up together. Do you have any conscience? Do you have any conscience?"

The village chief is still a good one. He will not favor any family. He will only favor those who are reasonable. It’s just that he doesn’t care much about things. So many things have happened that he doesn’t even know a lot of them.

"This village chief orders you to return Aunt Lan's land to them immediately. Since you beat her before, your family must pay two taels of silver as compensation..."

Before the village chief could finish his words and the two families had no chance to react, Lan Ning quit.

You want to let it go with just such a small amount of compensation? That's impossible. She won't agree.

I bullied their family before and just wanted to let it go. If I want to deal with them again in the future, wouldn’t I be in the wrong?

"Grandpa Village Chief, you don't know that my grandma's life was not easy in the past. When there was no food to eat, she would use the little grain left at home to make rice porridge for me. She would eat wild vegetables from the mountains. Sometimes she couldn't find wild vegetables, so she would use the remaining wild vegetables at home to make some wild vegetable soup. Drinking this wild vegetable soup was a meal.

Later, when I was older and could speak, I saw mice in the house moving food, so I asked my grandmother to dig rat holes. That way, the food in the rat holes kept us alive for a long time.

Village chief, you don’t know that many people in the village bullied my grandma. My grandma went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, but they wouldn’t let her. Whenever they saw my grandma going, they would beat her.

It was not easy for her. Her land was taken away, she was beaten when she went to the mountains to look for wild vegetables, and the money in the house was taken away. She had nothing. You don’t know how hard it was for grandma to raise me.”

When Lan Ning said this, many people's eyes became red. Those who had bullied Grandma Lan in the past lowered their heads in shame and said nothing.

The village chief couldn't believe what he heard. Children don't lie. He didn't expect that she was so young. He could imagine how hard it was for them to remember these things so clearly at such a young age.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Lan, I'm sorry, little girl Lan, the village chief is irresponsible and doesn't even know about these things."

The village chief felt very guilty. He really didn't know about these things. Even if he heard about them sometimes, he thought they were not serious. He didn't expect them to be so serious.

No wonder they didn’t invite everyone in the village this time, but only a part of them. It seems that these people are the ones who helped them before.

"Aunt Lan, little girl Lan, I will do justice for you."

[Although this is a little late. ]

After the village chief said this, many people who had helped Lan Ning's family couldn't help but speak up and describe in more detail the hardships they had endured over the years.

"Village chief, they often come to Sister Lan's house to move things. In the past, Sister Lan's house was completely taken away, with only the bed and door left. Even the kitchen knife was taken away. Sometimes when they need a kitchen knife, they come to my house to borrow it."

"That's right, their water tank was smashed and had a big hole in it, and all the buckets were taken away. If they wanted to get water, they had to come to my house and borrow a bucket to fetch water and take it back home."

"Village chief, you haven't seen the pot in their house before. There was a hole in the bottom of the pot, so they could only put the pot at an angle. I know why there was a hole in the pot. It was because someone from her family beat her up because they asked her to take out some silver, but Sister Lan didn't have any, so they took everything they could from her house, even breaking the pot and not letting her use it."

The woman pointed at the lettuce woman.

The lettuce woman avoided his gaze. She wanted to deny it, but seeing that the village chief was very angry at the moment, she was afraid that she would be scolded if she opened her mouth.

The village chief did not say anything, but listened quietly to the men and women talking about the mistakes these people had made before. Those who had made mistakes did not dare to speak. Some of them secretly ran away when the village chief was not paying attention, while others were being watched and had no chance to run away.
