Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Chapter 416 The Young Master and the Passerby in the Real World 47

When Ji Han returned home with cigarettes, he ran into the old village chief and a few others at the gate. Sure enough, the old village chief had called a few other old men from the village to come to the Ji family's house together.

"Hello, gentlemen. I'm so sorry to trouble you all during the Lunar New Year."

The village chief scolded Ji Han.

"Don't say it's troublesome, child. This is what we old folks should do. Don't worry, we will definitely not let you suffer any losses."

However, after the village chief finished speaking, Ji Han shook his head.

"Grandpa Village Chief, let's use our backup plan for today's conversation. I have hands and feet, and I'm young. I can manage without money and a house."

The backup plan was something Ji Han discussed with the village chief after dinner yesterday. It was also the main goal that Ji Han genuinely wanted to achieve upon returning, but he could only reveal this goal when forced to.

Looking at the resolute expression in Ji Han's eyes, the old village chief's straight back bent considerably.

"Xiaohan, child, are you sure? Why don't you think about it again? You're still in school and haven't entered society yet, so your thinking is still relatively simple. You'll understand when you're older. If you try to earn that money and that house yourself, you might not be able to achieve it even in half a lifetime..."

Ji Han understood the old village chief's unspoken words, but what he didn't know was that Ji Han truly wasn't short of money.

"Grandpa Village Chief, no need. I've thought it through. If I take those things, my life will definitely not be stable. If I don't take them, life will be a little harder, but it will also be more peaceful."

"Alright, I know what to do, kid. Once we're inside, don't say anything. Wait until I ask you to give your opinion, then you can say it, understand?"

Ji Han nodded to indicate that he understood, and then, led by the village chief and the others, they entered the Ji family courtyard.

When the village chief and his group entered the main room, Ji Zhigang's family and Chen Qiaoyan's family occupied the east and west rooms of the main house respectively. The two groups looked at each other with dislike, especially Ji Zhigang and Chen Qiaoyan, whose eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.

However, no matter how much they acted arrogantly, they had to behave themselves in front of the village chief and the other old men. The village chief and the others all glared at them with annoyance.

Fortunately, thanks to Ji Han's prior instructions, tea had already been poured on the square table in the main room. Ji Han opened the cigarette box, handed one to each of the old men, and then placed a separate box in front of each of them before quietly standing behind the old village chief.

"Tell me, what's going on in your family during the Chinese New Year?"

To prevent Ji Zhigang and Chen Qiaoyan from making a scene again, the old village chief added an extra sentence.

"Zhigang and Qiaoyan, you two should think this through before you speak. We're only going to handle this matter for you this time. If you don't cooperate this time, and we want to involve you again later, then everything will be done according to the regulations."

According to the regulations, Ji Zhigang and Chen Qiaoyan would most likely not receive a single penny. The two of them understood what the old village chief meant, so they calmed down for once and reached a consensus with just a glance from each other.

The village is going to be relocated after the New Year. Most of the families have already signed the relocation compensation agreement and even found new places to live. Apart from the stubborn holdouts, only Ji Han has not signed the agreement.
