Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

Chapter 155 You really are the people's confidants

A braying sound, like that of a donkey, startled the elderly people who were chatting on the street.

"How is it illegal or not in compliance with regulations? Our village's new school was built on the site of the old school. Is that not legal or compliant?"

"The county TV station even interviewed us a couple of days ago."

The captain of the enforcement team, his face full of anger, snorted coldly.

"Being interviewed doesn't prove you haven't broken the law. Humph, if it weren't for that interview, we wouldn't have known that someone from such a remote place would be so bold as to build a school without permission."

"What? You're saying we built a school without permission?"

"Damn it, the children in our village have nowhere to go to school, forcing the villagers to leave for other places. You can't see that."

“Now that kind-hearted people have built new schools to prevent this from happening again, you've become concerned about it. Are you really the people's law enforcement team?”

"Why is it that you can't see our children being unable to attend school in our own village, but you immediately notice when a school is built? Who are you enforcing the law for?"

Some elderly people chatting idly on the street have short tempers.

Hearing these law enforcement officers slander them as a godforsaken place and accuse them of building a school without permission, the old men were so angry that their beards twitched.

He immediately stood up indignantly and started arguing with the law enforcement officers.

"This place is the dead end of the world, so what are you doing here?"

A cold snort came from the mouth of an old man with a goatee.

"Need I say more? They're here to make a quick buck, using the guise of inspection to do whatever they want..."

These members of the inspection team from the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau had just arrived here, intending to exercise their power and establish their authority.

Unexpectedly, they encountered these stubborn old men chatting on the street who targeted them.

Even the team leader was somewhat helpless after witnessing this scene.

The current situation is that these are all elderly people, some of whom are nearly eighty years old. If we were to argue with them and make them so angry that they were in a terrible state, that would be quite a mess.

At this moment, someone had already summoned the old village chief.

Hearing that the old man in front of him was the village chief and the captain of the housing and construction bureau's enforcement team, he became very angry.

"You're the village chief? How do you manage the villagers under your jurisdiction?"

They were furious after revealing their identities, and now that they've finally found their village chief, they have someone to vent their anger on.

Li Qingshan was taken aback by the barrage of angry rebukes.

Someone just told him that the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau's enforcement team is coming to investigate the illegal construction at their school, which made him a little angry.

Now that I've just arrived, this damned brigade leader is already yelling at me.

Does he really not consider himself a responsible official as the village chief?

Li Qingshan was also a man with a temper, and he immediately turned hostile towards the other party.

"How I manage the villagers is none of your business, is it? The township leaders should judge how well I'm doing. And who are you anyway?"

"I, I..." The captain of the law enforcement team looked embarrassed and his mouth twitched.

Having just learned that the old man in front of him was the village chief of Black Tiger Village, the inspection team leader, who was filled with anger, wanted to reprimand Li Qingshan in front of the villagers chatting on the street, as a warning to others.

Let those villagers who spoke rudely to him just now see who the real leader is.

Unexpectedly, the old village chief in front of him also had a bad temper and directly contradicted him, making the brigade leader feel very embarrassed.

"Well, no wonder the villagers in your village are all so mean and sarcastic. It turns out that you, the village chief, have set a good example."

“We have received reports from the public that your village school is using land illegally and is suspected of violating the law. We are here to investigate this matter.”

Upon hearing the team leader's words, Li Qingshan snorted coldly and curled his lip in disdain.

“You really are the people’s confidants. Our village school has been collapsed for more than ten years and no one has cared about it. Now that someone has finally donated money to rebuild the school, you come here to investigate the suspected illegal land use.”

“You didn’t care when the preschool children in our village had nowhere to go to school. Now that a school has been built, you’re saying it’s illegal land use. It’s really ridiculous.”

The head of the enforcement team's face darkened: "What's so funny? Our Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau's duty is to review all types of construction land use and ensure that land use is legal and compliant..."

"Your village school is suspected of illegally using land..."

Hearing what the other party said, Li Qingshan also became anxious.

"Since you put it that way, let me ask you this: if your grandfather lived in the courtyard in your hometown and wanted to renovate it, would that also be considered illegal land use?"

Seeing the village chief in front of him trying to reason with him, the captain of the enforcement team curled his lip in disdain.

“Village chief, what you’re saying is unreasonable and sophistry. Your village school is suspected of illegally using land and must be demolished immediately.”

"What, demolish it?"

Before village chief Li Qingshan could react to the captain's words, the elderly onlookers were already getting impatient.

It's important to know that the newly built school in the village carried the hopes of the entire village, and almost everyone in the village participated in its reconstruction.

The old village chief had already said that anyone who helped with the construction of the village school would be compensated.

Therefore, people of all ages and genders participated in the reconstruction of the school to varying degrees.

Upon hearing that these law enforcement officers were using excessive force and wanted to demolish the school that their village had just painstakingly built, the old men who were enjoying the cool air outside completely lost their temper before Li Qingshan could even react.

Several hot-tempered old men had already raised their stools high.

"You want to demolish our village school? Let's see if you can do that."

"Don't underestimate me just because I'm 88. I'm not convinced!"

“Exactly,” another elderly man chimed in, “Is this law enforcement? This is nothing short of banditry.”

"Yeah, yeah, I think he's not even as good as a bandit. Kid, don't let his dark clothes fool you, try messing with our village school..."

Seeing these old men enjoying the cool air, they were all filled with righteous indignation. Even the originally imposing captain of the law enforcement team was so frightened that he took two steps back.

He wasn't afraid of the stools in the old men's hands, but rather struck by their hatred towards the law enforcement team.

Logically, if they were to enforce the law, shouldn't these villagers treat them with utmost respect and courtesy?

But now, even these old men in their seventies and eighties are raising their stools to them.

This scene deeply shocked them.

"You piece of trash! I never expected you to care so much about our village. You're more filial than a biological son."
