151 Forget It Then (2)

The person-in-charge frowned and asked angrily, “You’re affecting our progress like this. Aren’t you afraid that the other villagers will criticize you?”

The people from the several families laughed as if they had heard a joke.

“We don’t care about them. What do their lives have to do with us? We can’t even survive ourselves. Do we still have the mood to care about others?”

“That’s right! Your demolition and relocation this time sounds nice, but you’re giving us all kinds of conditions. It does sound good, but you want our hometown! For your own benefit, you don’t care if it affects other people’s lives, right?”

“Don’t think that we’re all fools. You businessmen are the most black-hearted! The mayor even said that you were doing a good deed. Who would believe him?!”

The villagers were still watching from the side. When they heard these people speak so heartlessly, they began to curse.

“What do you mean by not caring about the lives of others? Is this how you do things? Do you still want to continue living in the village in the future?”

“What a bunch of black-hearted fellows! They’re all neighbors. No matter how you look at it, they’re all related. Look at what you’re saying!”

“This is too infuriating! Don’t stop me and let me pass! I don’t believe that they still dare to beat me up!”

The scene instantly became chaotic.

Ye Xuan frowned and called the village chief over to persuade the villagers to go home.

He would settle the rest for them.

When the village chief heard this, he immediately walked over. After a lot of persuasion, he finally coaxed those people home.

The middle-aged man who spoke earlier gave his relatives a look.

Did they see that? The big boss chased the onlookers away!

What did this mean? It meant that he was about to start negotiations with them!

At that time, he would definitely compromise. Otherwise, why would he chase the others away?

Naturally, he was afraid that they would also cause a ruckus if they heard it at the scene!

The relatives nodded vigorously. It made perfect sense!

The mayor took a few steps forward and looked at the families who were causing trouble. “How long are you going to cause trouble? Are you really going to ruin the good things before you’re satisfied?”

The village chief added, “Stop while you’re ahead! At most, when you choose a house, I’ll make the decision to give you priority in choosing a house. Is that alright?”

The families sneered at them.

Priority in choosing a house?

What was the use of that?!

That was not all they wanted.

“There’s no need for you to continue! Also, don’t think that you can use force just because you have more people! If you dare to use force, we’ll kill you even if we have to risk our lives!”

“Yes! That’s what our families mean. Do as you see fit!”

The few families had already reached a consensus. Among them, the middle-aged man with the hammer was the leader.

Ye Xuan was already a little annoyed and gradually lost his patience. He looked at them and said, “Then tell me, how do you want to resolve this?”

The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up. He had finally heard this sentence!

“This is our ancestral home. It’s very precious to us. The memories inside are priceless! If you want to demolish it, you have to pay more! Let me tell you the truth. We won’t give in unless you pay at least five million yuan.”

When the others saw the middle-aged man mention his price, they also stated their own price.

“My house is smaller, so I’ll ask for less. A total of 4.5 million will do!”

“My house is huge. I need five million yuan too!”

“Remember, we’re talking about the cost of expropriating the land. You still have to compensate us according to the size of our houses!”

The village chief, mayor, and the person-in-charge were all shocked.

They looked at these families as if they had seen a ghost.

They also looked at the few dilapidated houses behind them.

“Are you guys crazy? How dare you ask for five million yuan for just a few lousy mud houses?”

“Let me ask, with so many families, do your houses occupy a total of 200 square meters? How did you set this price? Is this the price of properties in hell?”

“Do you think this is Shanghai, where every inch of land is worth gold? You really dare to say anything. You’re not afraid of others laughing their heads off!”

The mayor and the others were really angry. They had never seen such an ignorant person!

They had given such conditions, yet they still wanted to ask for more?

Did they want to go to the moon? Was it big enough?

In that case, they would send these people there!

These few families could conquer a planet with their thick skin!

The more they saw how angry the mayor and the others were, the happier they were.

In their opinion, if the village chief and the mayor did not obtain any benefits from this, how could they be so dutiful? They wished they could grow up in their village instead.

They must have sacrificed the interests of the villagers in exchange for their own benefits!

Why were they angry?

It was obvious that the big boss would be unhappy if they took his money but didn’t produce any results.

Hmph, it was fine to fool ordinary villagers.

However, they were people who were used to the outside world. Who didn’t know their tricks?!

In any case, they were just a few families away from starting work. They did not believe that the big boss would be ruthless enough to stop.

After all, so many families had signed the agreement. The compensation for violating the agreement was much more than what they were asking for!

These families felt that they had everything under control. As long as they persevered, the money would be in their pockets in minutes.

This was the power of knowledge!

The middle-aged man in the lead said arrogantly, “You don’t have to care if our houses are broken or not. Anyway, if you don’t pay, don’t even think about demolishing them! You’re worried that if you don’t demolish it, it will affect your progress, but we’re not afraid! What does this have to do with us? We fear no fall. If you don’t believe me, try it!”

After saying that, he pulled over a small chair beside him and sat down steadily. He seemed as if he had nothing to lose and would go to any lengths.

They had heard from the contractors outside that the contractors might lose a lot of money if they started work a day later.

If it dragged on for too long, they might not be able to complete the mission on time. At that time, the fine would be a huge sum of money.

In any case, these families didn’t sign the contract. They had a few families on their side, so they weren’t afraid of their houses being forcefully demolished.

If someone really died, they would extort these people!

They couldn’t wait.

They had already discussed it last night. They were all villagers, so they were not afraid even if the other party cut off water and electricity.

Although Zhengyang Village had electricity, the elders were thrifty. They didn’t even use 10kWh of electricity a month.

There was no need to worry about water. Which courtyard did not have a well?

They had enough resources to be self-sufficient.

In any case, they had already thought of countermeasures for any dirty moves that the other party might use.

Unless they received real money, there was no need to talk about anything else.

There was no trace of worry on Ye Xuan’s face. He just calmly watched them being unreasonable.

When they were tired of talking, he nodded and said, “Alright.”

The eyes of the few families lit up.

As expected, they were right to persevere!

They easily got a few million yuan.

It was simply wonderful!

The mayor and the village chief looked at each other and saw the urgency in each other’s eyes.

They all thought that Ye Xuan had compromised.

How could something like this have started?

Even if Ye Xuan compromised, those families who had signed contracts previously would not be willing!

At that time, there would still be a commotion!

The mayor only felt a buzzing pain in his head. Ye Xuan was still too young. It seemed like his mental endurance was not strong enough!

Now, there was trouble!

“Since you don’t want to demolish the houses, we won’t demolish them.” Ye Xuan smiled at them and spoke loudly.
