I traveled back to ancient times, but I was able to lie down and relax.

Liu Nanjia was somewhat surprised to hear this. Was this Uncle Zhao literate?

She was just thinking about whether she should go to the village head's house and ask him to be a witness, since very few people in the village are literate, and when it comes to these kinds of documents, they always need someone else to witness them. In the past, many people have come to ask her father for help.

Moreover, no one in the village would call him Young Master Liu.

This Uncle Zhao is probably not an ordinary farmer.

However, she didn't want to pry into other people's secrets, as long as it didn't harm her own family.

After the document was written, Liu Yanxi signed his name, and although Uncle Zhao could read, he couldn't write very well, so he pressed his fingerprint on it.

Then Liu Yanxi led the Zhao family to find the location of their three acres of land, and the land rental matter was considered settled.

However, while they felt they had finished, some people felt it was not over.

One day, an uninvited guest arrived outside their courtyard.

It's Grandpa Liu.

When Liu Nanjia saw the person who had arrived, she rolled her eyes inwardly. What? The younger ones have arrived, and now it's the older ones' turn?

Fang has been forbidden from coming near their house. After the last theft, Uncle Liu and his son were too ashamed to come over again.

It only calmed down for a few days, and now it's happening again?

It was still Grandpa Liu himself who took the lead; he finally stopped hiding behind others.

That's true, it seems like no one else in his family can use it.

But since he was an elder, Liu Yanxi couldn't really turn him away, so he invited the old man in, "Grandpa, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

After that series of events, Liu Yanxi also didn't have a good impression of this grandfather. Perhaps he was behind all those events.

"Hmph, can't I come if there's nothing wrong?" Old Master Liu said irritably.

Judging from that tone, you could tell it wasn't going to be anything good.

Liu Nanjia rolled her eyes again and walked over. Although she didn't want to face this annoying old man either, she was more worried that her brother wouldn't be able to handle it alone.

"Grandpa, what are you saying? We were just worried that you'd be too busy," Liu Nanjia said.

"No matter how busy you are, you can always find time to come over for a meal. You've really made a lot of money, and you've built such a nice house."

Grandpa Liu glanced at the classroom in the courtyard, which was much larger than a regular room, and his tone became even more unfriendly as he recalled hearing that a special room had been built for bathing.

"This wasn't built for ourselves; it's a classroom built to teach the children in the village. It's also a way of repaying the village head for allowing us to live here."

Liu Nanjia retorted lightly.

"That's your own decision to separate the family! Is there no place for you to live in the house?" Old Master Liu was even angrier, but he stopped arguing about the house.

"You built it, but on the day it was completed, you invited the village head and so many people in the village to dinner, and you didn't even bother to let me know?"

When his second son, Liu Feng, was alive, he had a good relationship with the village head, but after Liu Feng left, they rarely interacted. And after the Fang family incident, he became even more hostile towards them.

He always wanted to find an opportunity to repair his relationship with the village head, after all, the village head was the most powerful person in the village and had a lot of say, but the village head never gave him the chance.

Moreover, the story of that day had already spread throughout the village, with people saying that although the second branch of the Liu family consisted of several children, they were generous and the food was delicious.

Some people even went up to him and deliberately asked why he, the grandfather, wasn't invited since they were all from the Liu family. This made him very angry.

Liu Nanjia was speechless. Where did this old man get the nerve? His family stole money here, and he still wanted to eat here?

Liu Yanxi said, "Because it's a classroom being built, the village head has been paying close attention to the village's school establishment, which is why he agreed to come. As for the others, they all came to help with the work. Building houses is hard work, so I treated them to a meal to express my gratitude. It was my oversight not to invite you, and I apologize to you."

Then she changed the subject again, "But with so much land at home, I thought Grandpa would be too busy to come even if I invited him."

Liu Nanjia chuckled to herself upon hearing this. Her brother was referring to the time when the family divided their land and gave them less land!

It seems that this older brother has indeed grown up and is no longer like before, not daring to disobey his elders in the slightest.

But is Grandpa Liu the kind of person who would care about a few words?

He snorted again, "I had more land before, and I could manage it all, so how could I not have the time? Speaking of land, I heard you've rented it out to outsiders to farm? Is that acceptable? Go and get the land back. If you can't farm it, then give it to me, and I'll give you the grain when there's a harvest."

Liu Nanjia suddenly realized that this was the real purpose of Old Master Liu's visit.

They've come to ask for land, and they've made some nice promises, saying they'll give us grain after the harvest. But why don't they specify how much they'll give us?

They're giving it all, and even giving 10% counts as giving it. I guess they're just planning to give it a little bit later.

Doesn't that mean the land is still theirs? And if they keep planting it, they might use it as an excuse to take back the land deed.

Liu Nanjia sneered inwardly, thinking, "They really have a good plan."

“We have already signed the documents, and the agreement is in effect.” Liu Yanxi naturally understood that this grandfather had no good intentions and would never be as kind as he claimed.

Grandpa Liu was surprised that these children knew about signing documents; he thought it was just a verbal agreement.

But he didn't care about any of that and roared, "Then get the documents back too! Just give us some compensation, how can we let outsiders farm our Liu family's land!"

"Grandpa, what are you saying? You can't just take back a signed document like that. Who's going to give you compensation? Will Grandpa give it to you?" Liu Nanjia couldn't stand it anymore.

"I'm talking to your brother, what right do you, a little girl, have to interrupt!"

This time, Liu Nanjia didn't even bother to hide it anymore and just rolled her eyes.

Seeing that the old man was even angrier, Liu Yanxi quickly interjected, "Nan Jia is right. Once the document is signed, it becomes effective. How can it be taken back? Grandpa, are you trying to make me break my promise?"

"That's why I said, give them some compensation so they won't tell anyone. I heard it's the new Zhao family? They're very poor, a few copper coins will do."

"It seems Grandpa has found out very well. He even knows who we rented to and what kind of family they are. You know that the family is very poor and they rely on these few acres of land to grow their own food. How can you still say such things?"

Liu Nanjia continued to argue, saying that since they had already broken off relations, why bother with formalities?

Isn't the old man a sexist who disdains talking to her?

Then she'd definitely say something, just to see if he'd be driven mad.

Old Master Liu was even angrier and roared, "That's my Liu family's land!"

"Oh dear, why are you shouting so loudly? We're not deaf. It's you who's getting angry; it's bad for your health. And aren't you confused? We're just renting the land, not selling it. The land deed is even in my brother's name, and his surname is Liu. Besides, when we rent it out, we don't do anything and just get 40% of the grain for free. If we let you grow it, what percentage do you plan to give us?"
