178 Take it Easy

Liu Xiaowan’s expression changed.

She looked at Lizheng sorrowfully and had no choice but to lower her voice. “Lizheng, you know what kind of situation I have in this family. I really can’t make a decision on this matter. Why don’t you come in and tell my mother-in-law?”

Yang Lizheng did not want to go in.

Liu Xiaowan’s mother-in-law was an old hooligan who didn’t care about her face at all. If he really forced her to give the land to Zhao Zhan for a year, this old woman would probably do something worse than uprooting saplings.

However, he couldn’t just ignore this matter entirely.

Zhao Zhan originally only wanted Yang Lizheng to be a witness today. He wouldn’t really put him in such a difficult position. Therefore, he and Yang Dashan took the lead and stepped into the courtyard door. He said coldly, “Yang Dalei, open the door. If we don’t resolve this matter today, you know what I will do to you if you see me in the village in the future.”

Yang Dalei looked at his mother with a face full of fear. “Zhao Zhan wants to hit me! Mother, I can’t beat him!”

She caressed her son’s face lovingly, calming him down. This old woman dared to be unreasonable with Liu Xiaowan, but she was a little afraid of Zhao Zhan, who was a tough nut to crack.

She pulled Yang Dalei behind her and walked over to open the door with a stick in her hand. “Zhao Zhan, when did Dalei offend? Why are you using such harsh words to my baby boy?”

Zhao Zhan took out the contract and showed it to her.

“This contract was reviewed by the chief. Now that you’ve broken the contract, are you going to let me use that land for a year, or will you convert it into food or silver?

“You don’t have to say too much and you don’t have to cause a scene. Just tell me your plans. It’s just a matter of a yes or no. If you have any other opinions, I’ll immediately drag Yang Dalei to the chief.”

The old woman glared at Liu Xiaowan, who was hiding in the courtyard, with a face full of resentment. However, she was currently in a tight spot, and she did not dare to say a word. After holding it in for a long time, she reluctantly said, “How much silver do you want?”

“Not much. Just three silver?”

Just as Dalei’s mother was about to wail and complain, she heard Zhao Zhan continue, “If you’re not willing, I’ll bring Yang Dalei to the chief.”

She was tightly controlled by this sentence.

Yang Dalei didn’t dare to say a word and stayed in the room, pretending to be an invisible person.

Dalei’s mother had no choice. She went into the room and painfully took out three pieces of silver. The money box for the household was reduced by half in an instant.

“Lizheng,” Zhao Zhan, who took the silver, handed it over in front of Yang Dalei’s family. “You can share these three pieces of silver with the guys who helped me plant the seedlings so that each family can get more fertilizer. Each family can get a share of copper coins as the money for fertilizer.”

“Zhao Zhan!”

Dalei’s mother was so angry that she almost couldn’t catch her breath. Her finger trembled as she pointed at him. “You’re wasting the silver!”

Zhao Zhan ignored her, handed the silver to Lizheng, and left with Yang Dashan without looking back.

“Zhao Zhan!”

Liu Xiaowan’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, but she didn’t even get a glance from Zhao Zhan.

“Dashan, thank you for coming with me,” Zhao Zhan said to Yang Dashan when he was at the door of his house. “Hopefully, after today, I won’t have to deal with her family anymore.”

“You’ve helped me so much, it’s what I should do. Besides, you solved this problem yourself. I didn’t actually help much.”

Just as Zhao Zhan was about to say something, he felt someone tugging at the hem of his clothes. He looked down and saw Chengfeng, who had grown a lot, clawing at his legs with his claws and biting his clothes.

Seeing him look over, Chengfeng immediately let go of him and happily bounced twice on the spot before turning in a certain direction. Then, he turned his head and looked at Zhao Zhan.
