After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Boss Ye kicked him once, then roughly pulled out a rag, pushed him again, and stood behind the headman.

"What are you doing in our village? Kaoshan Village is not a place where you can act wildly." The headman sat on the chair brought by Dalang and glared at Xu Da.

"His family hid my sister, and you still beat me." Xu Da roared with a ferocious look on his face.

Boss Ye didn't spoil him. He had a student at home and couldn't let him ruin his reputation. He slapped him in the face and had wanted to hit him for a long time.

"My family has never seen the headman's sister. She has been harvesting sweet potatoes in the wasteland in recent days. Everyone has seen her." Boss Ye explained.

Xu Da looked at the burly men around him who were glaring at him and dared not act so arrogantly anymore.

"Where could she go? Someone saw her coming this way." Xu Da still didn't believe it.

"This is still the direction of Wu'an City. You will pass by my house. My family owes you money and you have bullied us again and again." Zhou was so angry that they kicked her door without any reason.

People around also knew about the troubles Xu Feng's family had, and they couldn't stand people who had the hands and feet but didn't work and instead relied on others.

The village head coughed, and the surroundings fell silent. "Wen Ning, is his sister at your house?"

"Uncle Lizheng, that's not true. My Dalang broke off the engagement with his family a long time ago and would never do such a thing."

"I, the village head, testify that I was at Qingya's house when these people came. There was no girl from the Xu family at home. They just kicked the door when they arrived." Aunt Hua has not yet recovered from the shock.

"Xu family boy, I heard it. Your sister is not found in our village. If she is missing, go to the government. What's the point of coming to our village?" Ye Lizheng did not doubt what Ye Lao Da said.

"Okay, now that the matter is clear, lock these people up in the woodshed. Release the youngest boy and let him go back to report the incident. Let the head of the village handle it. Otherwise, report to the police directly. Breaking into a private residence is a serious crime." Ye Lizheng made arrangements one by one.

Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Er threw a few people into the firewood shed outside the courtyard wall, called Ye Dalang to watch over them, and left them alone.

Boss Ye set up tables and chairs in the yard, Ye Qing was busy pouring water, and Zhou was cooking in the kitchen.

"Qingya, well done, you are worthy of being a girl from the Ye family. But you must protect yourself in the future. Things are not important, you can buy them again if you lose them." Ye Lizheng looked at Ye Qing with appreciation.

"Grandpa Village Head, I think if we can delay a little bit, you guys can come here, and this won't happen again in the future." Ye Qing was also a little scared.

Ye Dalang sat at the gate, feeling a little depressed. It was because of his own affairs that he attracted several people.

Ye Lizheng praised Ye Qing a few more times and looked at Ye Dalang. "Dalang, don't feel guilty. This is not your fault. It's all Xu Feng's family's fault."

Ye Dalang knew in his heart that it was Xu Feng's family's fault, but if he had not agreed to the engagement in the first place, none of these subsequent events would have happened.

Ye Qing comforted his brother, "I'm fine. You take me to exercise every day, and I'm very flexible. If I can't beat him, I'll hide."

Ye Dalang patted his sister's shoulder and made up his mind, "Qingya, I will protect you in the future, and this will never happen again."

"Dalang is a responsible man. A man should support his family and protect them. From now on, the children in the village should not just think about playing. They should practice in the morning." With just one sentence, Ye Lizheng shortened the playing time of the village children.

Everyone sat in the yard chatting about the arrangements for charcoal burning, waiting for people from Xujia Village to arrive.

"Grandpa, the village head, people from the Xu family have come. There are more than a dozen of them and they have entered the village." Maowa, who was playing at the entrance of the village, came first to report the news.

Ye Lizheng looked around and saw that there were more than 30 people on his side, all of them men, so he felt relieved.

"Mao Wa, let your father take people to guard the entrance of the village. If anyone from Ji Village comes later, don't let them in." Ye Lizheng had no intention of letting Xu Da and his men go.

"Okay, grandpa head of the village, I'll go tell my dad right away." After saying that, he ran away.

The village chief sat in the yard, waiting for Xu Lizheng to come over. "Da Lang, go and pull those guys over so that Xu Lizheng can recognize them."

Ye Dalang stood up, followed by several young men who rudely dragged the man over and threw him into the yard.

Just after finishing the work, Xu Lizheng came with his men. The voices in the yard stopped, and no one stood up to greet them. They all looked at the people from Jicun eagerly.

Ye Qing stood behind Boss Ye with a gloomy face, waiting to see Xu Lizheng's attitude.

"What's wrong with Ye Lizheng? The guy who came to report the news was talking so confusingly that I didn't understand." Xu Lizheng came in with his men.

"Xu Lizheng, what do you mean by those guys from your village coming to our village and kicking the door? You look down on Kaoshan Village and that's why you come here to act wildly." Ye Lizheng didn't give Xu Lizheng any face at all.

"Misunderstandings are just misunderstandings. Our village doesn't mean that." Xu Lizheng hurriedly denied it.

"Boss Ye also spoke up, "Xu Lizheng, look at the gate of my house. Is this a misunderstanding? There is only one child in the house. This is a bandit."

Xu Lizheng was so scared that sweat broke out on his back. In this era, if anyone dared to have anything to do with bandits, the government would not tolerate it. If someone reported them, the whole village would be implicated.

"Nephew, that's not the case. There are no bandits in our village. I heard a little bit on the way. They did this because they were worried about their sister." Xu Lizheng lowered his voice a few notches.

"Li Zheng Xu means that my family is hiding someone. What's the benefit of doing this? My family can't find a wife or can't afford to eat, so we are keeping a grown girl without any matchmaker or engagement." Boss Ye's voice was cold.

The people in Kaoshan Village were also unwilling to accept the decision and all wanted Xu Lizheng to explain everything clearly.

Xu Lizheng spoke more cautiously. He came to Kaoshan Village early and there were many villagers. His family conditions were better than those in Ji Village, so it was better not to offend him.

"Ye Lizheng, you asked me to ask those people. They came in a hurry and don't know the details yet." Xu Lizheng was worried that there were other things.

The few people who came with Xu Da and his brothers had their rags pulled off, and they hurriedly asked for help. "Village head, Xu Da said that Sister Zelan was detained by the Ye family. We are so angry that we came to help, not to cause trouble."

Xu Lizheng frowned, "Xu Da, how can you be sure that your sister is in the Ye family?"

"She is unfamiliar with the place. Where else can she go? She can only come to the Ye family. She came to see Ye Dalang once two days ago." Xu Da said confidently.

"I saw her two days ago, but I didn't talk to her and just left." Ye Dalang recounted what happened.

The people who followed him were so angry that their faces turned red. They glared at Xu Da fiercely, "You have no evidence, yet you come and kick the door."

Xu Da was stared at by the people in the yard, and he shrank his neck into his clothes. "No, no, why are you so fierce? Isn't it enough for me to apologize?"
