Chapter 89 Farmland Problems
I don't know what happened, but after I uploaded it, I found that this chapter was missing, so I uploaded it again.

Alas, you can't afford to be hurt if you don't have a manuscript for a child... Tears run away...

====================================
After returning from her natal home, Lin Guoxiang suddenly remembered that her family had a few acres of land. She hadn't visited it since she came here, and she didn't know how the wheat in the field was growing.It is strange to say that the distance between Wangjia Village and Linjia Village is not too far, but Wangjia Village grows dry crops such as corn, soybeans and sorghum after harvesting wheat, while Linjia Village grows rice.

Can't figure it out, really can't figure it out.

Forget it, don't think about it if you can't figure it out.Lin Guoxiang shook her head, and sent the question to the country of Java, and dragged the talented scholar to the field to look at the wheat.But when she got to the ground and took a look, a burst of anger burst out all of a sudden, and she couldn't stop it no matter what.

According to the memory left by the original body, the Xiucai family should have allocated three acres of land when they separated, but now she ran over to have a look, where is there three acres?Looking at the area of ​​this land, it is estimated that it is less than an acre!Although she doesn't know how big the three-acre land is, she still knows the area of ​​one acre of land. When she and her grandfather added up and shared a little more than one acre of land when they didn't wear it before, so now seeing the land in front of them How can a piece of land that is less than an acre of land not be angry?What's more, the drainage ditches dug on both sides of the land were all dug on the ground of her house, and the narrow land was squeezed even narrower by two drainage ditches.

Look at the scattered wheat seedlings with small spikelets swaying in the field, "swaying gracefully" among the piles of wild oat grass.

Lin Guoxiang's heart, liver, spleen and lungs were throbbing with pain, she stretched out her hand and hammered her chest, only to feel that a cluster of small flames on her forehead was burning rapidly, she suddenly turned her face to stare at the scholar, With a trembling hand, he pointed to the front piece and was speechless.

Xiucai was also looking at that piece and was speechless at the moment, apparently he did not expect such a situation.He even wondered if Lin Guoxiang remembered it wrong and ran to the wrong place?No matter how you look at this land, it doesn't look like there is a human race, but it looks like it has been abandoned for a year or so.

Lin Guoxiang couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she saw Xiucai's stunned expression: "You don't know?"

The scholar shook his head honestly. He really didn't know about this. The old lady never let him go to the field to help after he was admitted as a scholar. This was even more so after he got married. Once he went to the field to help and was hunted down by the old lady. After making a fuss for a long time, I didn't dare to come again, but when I came again this time, my farmland turned into this!

To be honest, this time it was not only Lin Guoxiang who was angry, but even himself. He used to think that there was not enough food in the family because he paid too much rent, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. , the old lady and sister-in-law are really too much, this is completely intentional to cut off their family's livelihood!
"I'm going to find the village chief right now and ask him to help me measure the land again." This time, before Lin Guoxiang could speak, Xiucai said first, "You wait for me here first, I'll be back soon." After finishing speaking Then he raised his foot and walked towards the village chief's house.

Lin Guoxiang tilted her head slightly in surprise and glanced at the scholar, thinking: What kind of stimulation has this scholar received today, that he would take the initiative to stand out?Tsk tsk... It is estimated that the sun will come out from the west tomorrow.Thinking about it, I couldn't help raising my head and glanced at the setting sun that was still hanging in the west.

But she was very curious about how Mrs. Zhang and Yuan Baoniang would react when they found out that the village head came to re-measure the land.

Xiucai found the village head not long after, along with Wang Jincai, the village head's son, and another senior uncle in the village who had a high prestige in the village. Uncle, he is the most upright person. In the village, he is usually invited to watch big events like land distribution, so that no unfair things like more or less distribution will happen.

Lin Guoxiang saw that Wang Jincai, the son of the village chief, was still holding a ball of thread made of thick hemp rope in his hand, with knots knotted on it. He probably used it for land measurement.

"Village head, take a look, has our land reached three acres?" Xiucai and Wang Jincai supported Wu Shugong to the edge of their farmland and said, "Today I invite you and Wu Shugong to come over to measure again. All at once, when the time comes, we will return everything that is due to us, but we will also return everything that is due to our family!"

Uncle Wu is getting old and can't even do the work in the field, so he won't come here except for a while when the land is divided. Originally, when Xiucai asked him to come to re-measure the land, he secretly wondered if this was the case. Wang Hao began to bully the people in the village proudly after he was admitted as a scholar. As a result, when he came, he frowned unconsciously. The three mu of land was eaten by the two families for less than one mu. This is really not ordinary. !

It never occurred to him that instead of the scholar bullying the villagers, it was the villagers who bullied him like this.

Seeing the few wheat seedlings scattered in the field and the weeds growing more lush than the crops, I finally felt angry. He has also been farming his whole life. It is simply a shame that such a good field has been ruined like this. It was unforgivable, so he asked the scholar in a deep voice: "Wang Hao, how did your land be treated like this? It's such a waste of such a good land!"

When the village saw the farmland of Xiucai's family, their eyes flickered slightly, and then they suddenly pretended to be surprised and said, "Why did my nephew's land become like this?" Then he said angrily, "Look at this place. You know that you have been taken over by others, whoever has the guts to bully you is simply too much!"

Lin Guoxiang glanced at the fake-looking village chief out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help curling her lips in her heart: You really know how to pretend, you are the head of a village, don't you know that the land of Xiucai's house has been taken?Hmph, isn't it because your daughter-in-law took advantage of Yuan Baoniang and Mrs. Zhang's benefits and was short-handed, so she turned a blind eye and didn't care about it?
"Whose land are these two sides?" The village chief asked a villager beside him to watch the fun, and when the village chief asked, the man quickly put on a smile and said respectfully, "That is the land of Chang Sheng's family. " Then he pointed to the right side of the farmland of Xiucai's family and said, "This is...the land of Wang Liang's family..."

"Chang Sheng?" The village chief was stunned for a moment, "Is that the old Chang's eldest son who changed the child's surname back to his own surname after the father married and the mother-in-law died?"

"Yes, that's him." The villager nodded.

At this moment, a trace of cold sweat finally broke out on the forehead of the village chief. No one in Wangjia Village knows that the two sons of this immigrant family are very fierce. The youngest son, Chang Dian, is the lazy gangster in the village. Do less, whoever offends him will make the family feel uneasy, and Chang Sheng has grown a whole body of fat, and his palm like a big cattail fan greets people, and he can't find people in the south, east and west.

Thinking of the two brothers of the Chang family, the village chief suddenly felt a little timid, and secretly regretted: Why did he divide his family's land with that of the scholar's family in a fever at the beginning, and now they are arguing over the land. Well, how can this be good?Although the village head usually said the same thing in the village, he was somewhat afraid when he met the Chang family's fierce and desperate brothers.If you offend them today, who knows where they will be waiting for you?Even if you can't do anything clearly, it's hard to guard against black hands in secret.

Thinking of this, the village head glanced at Lin Guoxiang bitterly, and was slightly annoyed: This Lin is not an Ansheng, and he knows to find trouble for him all day long!

But no matter how unwilling the village chief is, with so many people looking at him now, even the scholar and fifth uncle are here, he has to express it anyway, otherwise who will believe him in the future?

So the village head told his son sharply: "Jincai, go and find Chang Sheng and Wang Liang!"

Wang Jincai was a little hesitant when he heard his father's words. Both of these two families have benefited his wife. The blue and white gown worn by his wife, Shen Shi, today was made by the two partners, and it was usually given to him. My dear son is buying snacks, now go call for someone to come, what if the two families get into a fight?At that time, he and his father will not look good.

Wang Jincai only hesitated for a moment, and the second sister-in-law Wang, who had something good to do, stood up and flattered her: "Village chief, let me do the errand work, how can I let the young master do it?" After finishing speaking, he rushed to Chang's house and Wang Liang's house call someone.

Wang Jincai was still a little uncomfortable at first, but when he heard Wang's second sister-in-law calling him young master, he felt a burst of relief.In his opinion, isn't the title "Young Master" only reserved for a son of a noble family? Now that people call him that, doesn't it mean that he is also a dignified person?
When the village chief heard Mrs. Wang calling his son, young master, his brows showed a little bit of complacency, and he thought to himself: This Wang Er's family is considered a decent one, knowing that both his father and son have identities.

In short, the village head and his son felt very comfortable after being flattered by Mrs. Wang.

Lin Guoxiang was taken aback by Mrs. Wang's flattery. She couldn't help stretching out her paw to stroke her arm secretly to get rid of the goosebumps. At the same time, she also glanced at Wang Ergou who was next to her subconsciously. Shrinking his shoulders, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.She was immediately happy. It seemed that she wasn't the only one who felt the chill. It turned out that other people had the same idea as her.

The fifth uncle over there couldn't help frowning his brows, obviously displeased with Second Sister-in-law Wang's blatant flattery of the village chief and his son.However, even though he looked down upon Mrs. Wang's behavior, he didn't say anything. After all, he had seen this kind of person a lot in his life.

As for the scholar, he pursed his lips, staring at his own farmland that had been "nibbled" clean, not knowing what he was thinking.
