Chapter 2505: Chapter 2505: I Will Never Coexist Peacefully with You!
“Chief, please give me all the land deeds. I now think it’s better to have everyone’s land registered under my name. Serving the people’s welfare should be my priority.”
As long as the land deeds haven’t reached the villagers, there’s still hope. He could go back to the county government and have the deeds written under his name.
“That won’t do.”
The Chief shook his head with a smile, waving his hand dismissively at him.
“These land deeds aren’t yours anymore. If you want to have them registered back under your name, you’ll need the landowners’ consent.”
As he spoke, he brought his hands together, rubbing his palms.
“Scholar An Que, I also have to be accountable to the folks who trust me, don’t you think?”
An Que: “…”
How did things turn out like this?
What kind of misfortune had he run into to encounter such a situation? Why was Huo Ziyu playing such a joke on him?
“Uncle, please give me those land deeds. I will return them to everyone. I took those deeds from their hands initially; now, it’s time I give them back, isn’t it?”
He thought to himself, he must trick the Chief into handing over the deeds. That way, even if he held onto the deeds, he could threaten people to continue registering the land under his name.
In short, he couldn’t just give up easily; he had to find a way to turn things around.
“No need, no need.”
The Chief shook his head repeatedly, giving him no chance to speak further.
“Scholar An Que, aren’t you going to the county to handle some affairs? I won’t delay you anymore. I have to rush back to the village to distribute the land deeds to everyone.”
With that, the coachman beside him drove the Horse Carriage towards An Que.
Startled, An Que swiftly jumped to the side to avoid getting knocked over by the carriage.
“Wait, Chief, don’t leave yet, I…”
He wanted to ask for a ride back to the village as well, but before he could finish, the Horse Carriage had already disappeared from sight.
“How could this happen, what’s going on here! Damn you, Huo Ziyu, I’ll never be reconciled with you!” he swore, pointing to the sky.
He vowed not to let Huo Ziyu off the hook if he ever got a chance to trample over Huo Ziyu!
But little did he know, he wouldn’t have that chance. By tomorrow, he would no longer be a scholar but just a commoner, destined to spend his life farming in the village.
…
At Daya’s family.
As soon as Daya’s Father came through the door, he placed Daya into the arms of his own parents in the courtyard, then pulled his wife, who was scolding her in-laws, into the room.
Soon, screams and curses of a woman echoed from the room.
“Grandma.”
Little Daya’s body trembled, snuggling into the old woman’s embrace.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Be good, Daya, Grandma’s here.”
The old woman gently patted the little girl’s back, trying to comfort her. If the daughter-in-law weren’t so vicious, she wouldn’t refrain from advising her son.
“Grandma will take you out to play, alright? There are lots of flowers blooming outside. Let’s go pick some.”
The little girl, unsure of what to do, allowed the old woman to carry her out of the courtyard, distancing herself from the shouting inside the room.
