Chapter 470 Rent
The man, who was much older than Zhuang Shouren, put down the wood and moved his lips towards Yi Chi, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time. Finally, before Yi Chi turned his head, he suddenly bent down and bowed to Yi Chi.
The villagers were in an uproar.
Yi Chi just stared at him for a moment, then lowered his head and said nothing.
The man sighed and turned away.
His wife, who followed him, quickly put down a small cloth bag and stood beside him.
Yi Chi opened the buckle on top, revealing the things inside. They looked very familiar. They were the gold bracelet and longevity locket that he wore as a child.
His brows suddenly frowned. This thing must have been given to other children in the family by Old Man Zhuang and his wife. It was really unlucky.
Upon seeing this, the police comrade registered it and put it aside.
After working for more than an hour, some villagers who were hiding in the village and hoping to get away with it saw so many people handing over their things, and finally came over reluctantly with their hidden treasures.
Yi Chi looked at a vase placed in front of him and examined it from top to bottom. "It's fake."
The villager immediately jumped up and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't fool you with anything fake!"
Yi Chi sneered, "It's my own stuff, how can I admit my mistake?"
"How old were you when you were kicked out? It's not surprising that you remembered it wrong!" the man shouted loudly.
"This vase with winding branches you gave me is too fake. I'm too lazy to comment on this flower. Look at this." Yi Chi thought this man was really funny. He took out such a fake thing to fool him. Did he think he was blind? He pointed at a plate with a pattern of flowers blooming and prosperity on the edge. The painting on it was completely different from the vase. It didn't even need an expert to see that it was fake and of poor quality.
The man took a look and then closed his mouth which was about to chatter.
"Heh, I think you don't want to go to work, so you came here on purpose!" The police colleague closed the notebook and looked at the man fiercely.
The man was shaking with fear. His wife came running over and shouted to explain, "No, police comrade, it was this idiot who was in a hurry to go out and took the wrong thing. That bottle is my dowry. Let's go and exchange it now, right away."
The villagers were glad that they didn't do anything tricky when they saw this. At the same time, they secretly complained that this bastard had sharp eyes. He was obviously hungry when he was a child, but he could still tell the authenticity of these things...
Half a day wasted on returning the things. Although the police comrades felt that not everyone was obedient, they could not stay in the construction team for a long time, so they could only stop while they were ahead and hand over the things to Yi Chi after completing the registration.
"Then our work will stop here for now." The policeman patted Yi Chi's shoulder, "Although these are the only things we have, they are enough for you to live a good life in the future. Let's clean up the foundation and then we will be ready to go back."
Yi Chi thanked him gratefully, "It's already good, at least we have recovered some of the losses."
The police comrade called the new secretary over and asked him to write the foundation certificate.
After hearing the whole story, the secretary seemed to have something to say.
Yi Chi spoke before him, "Secretary, do you think I'm losing out? Well, this piece of land was originally mine, including the fields outside. If you really want to calculate, the brigade will have to pay me a large sum of rent."
The new secretary immediately shut up and said with a flattering smile, "This...that..."
"I know that according to national regulations, all land is now nationalized, so the rent is not appropriate. But this residential land belongs to my family, and the brigade has borrowed it for all these years, so I should show some appreciation. I would like to refuse your kindness, but if it makes you embarrassed, I can accept it." Yi Chi said this reluctantly, but in fact he was putting the secretary in a difficult position.
The secretary smiled awkwardly, unable to back down, so he could only laugh and say, "Let's not talk about rent, just some compensation. You've had a hard time these past few years, and this is what we leaders should do."
Yi Chi won a crushing victory this time, the land was transferred to his name, and he also made a hundred dollars.
The brigade has occupied such a large piece of land for more than ten years, and the rent is less than ten yuan a year. It's reasonable, right?
Jiang Yu stood aside and watched Yi Chi easily deal with the secretary. He won easily and was very satisfied.
"Since this land has been returned to Yi Chi, you should quickly clear out all the things in the team. By the way, please urge Zhuang Mingde to return the bricks. Once they are returned, they will be just right for building the wall. If he doesn't return them, Yi Chi, remember to call our station." The policeman packed up his things and left in a hurry.
Yi Chi looked at the new secretary.
Jiang Yu also looked at him.
The new secretary felt his scalp tingling when he was looked at by the two of them.
"I'll go and urge them. I'll go now." The new secretary said quickly, and his short legs moved very quickly until he disappeared around the corner ahead.
Zhuang Mingde didn't want to return the blue bricks at all. If he returned them to Yi Chi, wouldn't his family be gone?
But he had no say in this matter. Jiang Yu had told Yi Chi before that he could help him look for treasure at night.
Look, on a dark and windy night, the Night Walker Jiang Yu appeared again.
She first went to the house of the person who gave the fake bottle today and took a look around. Inspired by what the police said, she brought a simple gas mask today and carefully checked the toilets in these people's homes.
Sometimes, I fail to control the force well and accidentally break some things. If someone wants to use the toilet tomorrow morning, something unexpected might happen.
Jiang Yu didn't bother to care and shuttled between the five teams at inhuman speed. It was not until she ran out of time that she went to Zhuang Mingde's house.
What did she do? She helped people demolish houses.
It was dawn and the villagers were still asleep when the house at the entrance of the village collapsed.
Jiang Yu didn't want to kill anyone, so before she demolished the house, she moved everyone out first, and then used her incredible strength to destroy the house, making sure that the blue bricks remained intact as much as possible while it collapsed.
Jiang Yu didn't look at the collapsed house behind her, she ran back to the educated youth site first.
Because the collapse of the house made a loud noise, nearby villagers quickly rushed over with oil lamps to check the situation.
Zhuang Mingde raised his upper body, looked at the mess in front of him, and fainted after his eyes rolled back.
Yang Lijuan felt very complicated. She hugged her son and was glad that she was not killed by the house, but she was also worried about being homeless in the future.
Xiaolu still had no expression on his face. Did he seem unable to empathize with the people around him? Whether it was gloating or sadness, he did not have any of these emotions.
The new secretary lived in the second team. When he got the news and rushed over, most of the people in the first team had already arrived. They gathered around the house and whispered about things like retribution and enemies coming to visit.
