Rural Romantic Life

Chapter 144 Colluding with each other

Although Ye Daxing had verbally contracted to grow vegetables for all the villagers in Yejiacun for many years, he had never actually signed any contract with each household.

It was only because of Ye Daxing's verbal contracting agreement over the years that all the villagers silently believed that his vegetable garden had been truly contracted out to him.

There is no way to violate the contract.

Ye Tingting, being a college graduate, naturally knew that a legitimate contract was required for contracting vegetables to have legal effect and to be recognized and protected by law.

This is why she dared to let Lu Yang buy their family's vegetables.

She had already explained the situation when Ye Daxing brought his men to confront her not long ago.

However, Ye Daxing didn't care at all and ignored it completely.

The other villagers also overlooked this point.

now!

When Ye Tingting spoke again very seriously, the villagers, who had been filled with remorse, instantly realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! Tingting is right!"

"A contract is required for any contracting activity!"

"We did agree to contract out our vegetable farm to Ye Daxing, but it was only a verbal promise, not a formal written contract!"

"In other words, our verbal promises to Ye Daxing are completely worthless!"

"Yes, that's right. We don't want to continue selling our vegetables to Ye Daxing now, so we don't need to pay him ten times the penalty for breach of contract!"

"In fact, we can sell the vegetables to Boss Lu for three times the price!"

"That's wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"

"I've finally turned my life around, haha..."

"Me too, haha...that's so awesome..."

Upon hearing the villagers' words, Ye Daxing's face turned extremely grim. He roared in fury, "You bunch of peasants, you've really gone too far!"

"Even if I didn't sign any contract with you back then, it was all approved by the village chief. If you dare to deny the contract, then go and have a serious talk with the village chief!"

In Yejiacun, the village chief is the law.

A true local tyrant.

Back then, the village chief held a meeting and all the villagers made a promise to contract out the vegetables they grew to Ye Daxing.

Moreover, it's a long-term issue.

Back then, the village chief shamelessly claimed that he was doing this for everyone's benefit, finding a long-term sales channel for them.

However, all the villagers knew in their hearts that the village chief and Ye Daxing were in cahoots, exploiting and harming the interests of all the villagers.

However, because the village chief was considered the true god by all the villagers, no one dared to stand up and oppose him.

Even if someone objects, the village chief will find various reasons to make things difficult for them, label them in various ways, make it impossible for them to live in the village, and in the end, they may be driven out of the village chief's miserable end.

Now that Ye Daxing told them to go and reason with the village chief, how could they dare? Their excited hearts and trembling hands instantly turned as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them, chilling them to the bone.

The village chief and his group were simply too powerful to offend, and dared not actually confront them!

Otherwise, you'll definitely not have a good outcome!

Upon hearing the village chief's name, Ye Tingting's previously smug expression turned pale. She quickly lowered her voice and asked Lu Yang beside her with concern, "Xiao Yang, what should we do now?"

"Our village chief of Ye Family Village is not someone to be trifled with."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang completely disregarded it and loudly declared to all the villagers present, "Even if the village chief agreed back then, it has no legal effect whatsoever..."

Da da da!

Before Lu Yang could finish speaking, several footsteps suddenly came from not far away, along with a very authoritative and cold voice: "A mere fool dares to question the village chief's decision in public? Do you really not consider me a leader?"

Upon hearing that familiar yet authoritative voice, everyone turned their gaze toward the figure not far away.

Especially the tall, imposing middle-aged man walking in front.

Upon recognizing the village chief, Ye Xiong, Ye Tingting immediately whispered to Lu Yang, "Xiao Yang, the person walking in front is Ye Xiong, the village chief of our Ye Family Village!"

Lu Yang didn't need Ye Tingting to remind him; he had already clearly seen Ye Xiong's figure and appearance from afar after hearing the other party's voice.

Soon, Ye Xiong led a villager to a spot not far from Lu Yang, then stopped. His eyes held a strange look as he sized Lu Yang up and down before coldly scoffing, "So you're Lu Yang, the idiot from Peach Blossom Village who dared to buy vegetables from Ye Baisong's family?"

Lu Yang casually replied, "That's me! I wonder what advice the village chief has for me?"

The village chief said in a nonchalant tone, "It's true that it's a good thing that you're buying our Ye Family Village's vegetables at three times the market price, but it's still against the rules!"

"Back then, I convened a meeting with all the villagers and voted publicly to let Ye Daxing contract the vegetable supply to all the villagers. All the villagers raised their hands in agreement!"

"Although a formal contract wasn't signed at the time, it still has legal effect!"

Seeing that Village Chief Ye Xiong had brought people to support him, Ye Daxing felt even more confident and said mockingly to Lu Yang, "Fool, did you hear that? The village chief said that even if I didn't sign any bullshit contracts with everyone, this matter is still protected by law!"

"You think you can buy vegetables from our Ye Family Village? You're dreaming!"

Lu Yang completely ignored Ye Daxing's words. Instead, a slight smile played on his lips as he stared intently at Ye Xiong and asked seriously, "Village Chief Ye, you said that even if a meeting was held to vote but no contract was signed, it still has legal effect?"

"But I want to ask you, is this the law of the country, or your own law, Village Chief Ye?"

The villagers of Yejiacun turned pale at the mention of the village chief, but Lu Yang showed absolutely no fear.

What right does this local tyrant, this village chief, who constantly exploits and bullies the villagers, have to be afraid of him?

On the contrary, he wanted to teach the other party a lesson and let them know that a village chief's words were not a true one-man show.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiong trembled.

He couldn't believe that a fool from Peach Blossom Village was not afraid of his authority at all. If the other villagers had witnessed his stern authority, they would probably have been trembling with fear and their legs would have gone weak.

She can't even speak clearly anymore, how dare she question him like this in public?

This completely humiliated him, and he was genuinely enraged: "Idiot, what did you say?"

"Try saying it again?"
