Riding a motorcycle on the road of revenge

Chapter 62 Negotiating Terms with the Village Chief

Li Chun had just agreed on this in the yard, but he didn't expect that the village chief would change the order in less than a cup of tea. He was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face. However, he had made up his mind. Xiaoyue didn't have to settle in Xiaoqing Village. But since he was here, he would try again.

"Brother Li, talk to those families. No matter what, Xiaoyue is Xiao Tiezhu's niece. If those families really want to buy the house, and they must buy it, then the money from the sale of the house should be given to Xiaoyue."

"This……"

The village chief acted embarrassed.

Li Chun pretended to sympathize with the village chief and said with some sadness: "Xiaoyue thought that living here would allow her to guard her uncle's grave, which would be considered filial piety to her uncle. Living here is convenient for hunting, and it would also be easier for her to make a living."

The village chief picked up the bowl and drank the water without saying a word.

Li Chun also pretended to be in deep thought. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice as if he had made some important decision:

"I can't make things difficult for Brother Li. Brother Li can't explain this to the villagers, and Xiaoyue doesn't have the money to build a house in the village, so forget it. She doesn't have to live here. My Yunlai Inn can't accommodate one person."

"It's Qingming Festival, memorial day or something like that. I'll take Xiaoyue with me..."

When the village chief heard Li Chun say this, he thought that in the future people in the village would have to sell their game and mountain products to Yunlai Inn.

Although Li Chun's Yunlai Inn was not the only place to buy game and mountain products, the prices there were the most reasonable, and people from other counties would not be discriminated against when they went there.

For the livelihood and long-term benefits of the villagers, the village chief felt that it was worthwhile to give up Xiao Tiezhu's house and let Xiaoyue live in the village.

Besides, by agreeing to this matter with Shopkeeper Li, I owe him a favor. If he really needs help in the future, I can ask for it.

Even if no one needs his help, more friends mean more paths.

The Yunlai Inn is a big inn. Manager Li is worth making friends with.

Before Li Chun finished speaking, he quickly said, "What are you talking about, Manager Li? It's not that serious. Since Xiao Tiezhu has a niece, Xiaoyue, his house is not ownerless."

"Xiao Tiezhu has been married into our Xiaoqing Village for more than ten years, and has long been a member of our Xiaoqing Village. Our people are simple and honest, and we would never do anything like embezzling other people's property."

"Some villagers wanted to buy the house before. They didn't know about Xiaoyue's existence. Hey, Manager Li, what do you think?"

"That house is a proper brick and tile house with a high wall. There is a vegetable garden at the back with a well in it. The front yard is also quite big. The house and the land together should be worth at least fifty taels. Um, what, what..."

Li Chun didn't respond to the village chief's words and let him speak. The village chief was a little speechless at the end. Li Chun just pretended not to notice.

It was originally Xiao Tiezhu's property, and several families in the village were eyeing it, including the village chief. It was the only good house in Xiaoqing Village besides the village chief's.

The village chief couldn't take it for himself, and the other families who wanted it couldn't afford fifty taels, so it was better to give it to Xiaoyue. No one could get it originally, so that the village chief would not feel uncomfortable if someone else got it, and the village chief would be gossiped by others if he got it.

An orphan girl who fled from famine in another place came to seek refuge with her relatives, and without any evidence, she claimed to be Xiao Tiezhu's niece. If she wanted to settle down in Xiaoqing Village, she had to get the approval of the village chief. And the relationship between relatives was entirely based on the words of the village chief.

Now he agreed to settle down and promised to let her live in Xiao Tiezhu's house. This should be a gesture of gratitude. The village chief thought Li Chun would take over the conversation, but he didn't expect that he had no intention of taking over the conversation at all.

Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?

The village chief thought that he would have to go to Yunlai Inn to sell mountain products in the future, which would be a long-term source of income, so he gave up that little idea.

Li Chun understood what the village chief was thinking, and he didn't mind the village chief's ideas and requests. In his opinion, Xiaoyue would live here in the future, and if she gave the village chief some benefits, it would be easier to take care of her in the future. Whether it was about collecting mountain products or giving the village chief some gifts, Li Chun didn't mind.

When doing business, Li Chun always treats everyone fairly and honestly, no matter who they are dealing with.

When you are out there, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Besides, their young lady got Xiao Tiezhu's house for free.

However, Li Chun didn't want the village chief to benefit too quickly. Otherwise, after tasting the sweetness, he would treat them all as soft persimmons. Even if the young lady didn't care, he would still find it offensive.

The village chief and Li Chun both fell silent, waiting for the other to speak first.

Xiaoyue sat next to Li Chun, stretched out her arm to pull the corner of Li Chun's clothes, and nodded at him.

Li Chun spoke again: "Brother Li, you see, besides the house, Xiao Tiezhu also has ten acres of good land under his name, as well as the money he saved from hunting for so many years. I will make the decision. As long as the house belongs to Xiaoyue, so that she can have a place to live, the land will belong to the village, and the money he saved, except for the money for Xiao Tiezhu's funeral, will also belong to the village. As for Xiaoyue..."

The village chief thought he had heard it wrong. He looked at Li Chun and then at Xiaoyue in surprise.

Xiao Tiezhu was famous in the village for his ability to make money by hunting, picking mountain products and digging medicinal herbs. The property he left behind was more than just the brick house.

If there is no heir to the deceased's land, the government will take it back, as well as the money left behind. When they were handling Xiao Tiezhu's funeral, they found more than 100 taels of silver in his home. There were many people present at the time, and no one could have kept it for themselves.

I thought I'd take the money and do the job first, and then figure out what to do afterwards.

Now that Xiao Tiezhu has an heir, the land and money under his name will be...

Having said that, what's the point of talking about whether it's a house or not?

When Xiaoyue saw the village chief looking at her, she nodded vigorously to indicate that that was what she meant.
