Chapter 298 Auntie Second Collapses and Admits Defeat; Construction Officially Begins on the Back Mo
In Jiang Chen's courtyard, however, the scene was quite different.
A large wicker lounge chair is placed under the grape trellis.
Jiang Chen leaned back leisurely, holding a cup of freshly brewed Longjing tea in his hand. The tea leaves unfurled in the clear water, emitting a faint fragrance.
On the stone table next to her, Su Qing was setting up an exquisite tea set. She was imitating what she saw on TV, her movements a little clumsy but very serious.
Sunlight filters through the gaps in the grapevines, casting dappled shadows. The scene is serene and peaceful, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the construction site not far away.
Just then, a disheveled figure stumbled and fell at the gate of the courtyard.
The person who came was Sun Yumei.
At this moment, her hair was disheveled, her face was bruised and swollen, and her clothes were covered with mud and unknown stains. She looked like she had just crawled out of a garbage dump, and there was no trace of her usual arrogant and domineering demeanor.
"thump!"
Sun Yumei's legs buckled and she knelt down three meters away from the courtyard gate!
This sudden scene startled Su Qing, and she almost dropped the teacup in her hand.
Jiang Chen acted as if he hadn't seen anything, not even lifting his eyelids, slowly blowing on the steam in the teacup, and taking a small sip.
"Chenzi! My good nephew! Your second aunt was wrong! Your second aunt is not human!"
Sun Yumei knelt on the ground, slapping her own face hard with her palms while crying with snot and tears streaming down her face.
The cries were piercing and filled with remorse, sounding as if they came from the heart.
"I was blinded by greed! I was so greedy! I shouldn't have gone against you! I shouldn't have been a holdout!"
"I'm a complete bastard! I was blind as a bat!"
"Chenzi, please, please forgive your second aunt this time!"
As she wailed, she pulled out the crumpled land deed from her bosom, raised it above her head, and crawled a few steps toward Jiang Chen.
"I don't want the land! I don't want a single penny! Consider it my apology! Please, please, have mercy and move that toilet...to another place! If this continues, I...I'm really going to be suffocated by the stench!"
A large number of villagers who had heard the news had already gathered at the entrance of the courtyard.
They looked at Sun Yumei, who was kneeling on the ground crying her heart out, and then at Jiang Chen, who was sitting calmly and composedly in the courtyard. They all understood perfectly well what was going on.
In Jiangjia Village, it's now completely clear who's in charge.
Never go against Chenzi!
Jiang Chen put down his teacup, then slowly stood up and walked to the courtyard gate.
He looked down at Sun Yumei kneeling on the ground, his eyes showing no sympathy, only indifference and coldness.
"Now you know you were wrong?"
"I know! I know! I really know!" Sun Yumei nodded frantically, like a chick pecking at rice.
"Land, given away for free?" Jiang Chen asked again.
"It's free! I'll kowtow to you if you'll accept it!"
"Heh." Jiang Chen sneered.
He turned around and waved to Wang Dagou behind him.
Wang Dagou immediately understood and took out a blank land transfer contract and several stacks of cash from his bag, which looked to be only ten or twenty thousand yuan.
Jiang Chen took the money and casually tossed it in front of Sun Yumei.
The stacks of cash were scattered on the ground, their red color glaringly conspicuous.
"In our Jiangjia Village, we don't take advantage of others by a single penny, but we also won't tolerate any scoundrel who tries to take advantage of others."
Jiang Chen's voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
"According to market prices, your two acres of dilapidated land are worth at most 40,000 yuan. For other people in the village, I would give them three times that, which is 120,000 yuan. But you are different."
"Here's twenty thousand yuan. I'll give it to you at half the market price."
Jiang Chen pointed to the money on the ground, his tone very certain.
"From today onwards, these are the new rules for Jiangjia Village. Anyone who dares to cause trouble behind the scenes and hinder the development of the entire village will face the consequences!"
"If you do something wrong, you have to pay a painful price!"
"Twenty thousand yuan, take it or leave it. Sign the contract, take the money. If you don't sign, the foundation for that dry toilet will be officially poured tomorrow."
After saying that, Jiang Chen didn't look at her again and turned to go back to the courtyard.
This was his final verdict for Sun Yumei.
It not only dashed her hopes of getting rich, but also gave her a lesson she would never forget through real financial loss!
Sun Yumei looked at the 20,000 yuan on the ground, and then thought about the 120,000 yuan that should have been hers. She felt as if a piece of her flesh had been cut off with a knife.
But she was even more afraid of the dry toilet that surrounded her on three sides, and the stench that never seemed to end.
The lesser of two evils.
"I'll sign! I'll sign!"
Sun Yumei scrambled over and grabbed the money from the ground as if it were a lifeline.
She picked up the pen and, with trembling hands, pressed her fingerprint onto the contract.
After signing the papers, she didn't dare look at Jiang Chen again. Clutching the 20,000 yuan, she ran home in a disheveled state.
From then on, Sun Yumei became completely invisible in the village.
Upon seeing Jiang Chen, they would all take a detour, not daring to even breathe loudly.
At this point, the dozens of scattered plots of land on the back hill have been completely integrated!
Not a single holdout remains!
Every 100% of the village's land, without any blind spots, has been incorporated into Jiang Chen's magnificent ecological fortress map!
"Big Gou!"
Jiang Chen stood at the gate of his own courtyard, looking towards the direction of the back mountain, his eyes revealing an amazing light.
"Notify all construction teams! Groundbreaking is officially underway!"
"Yes!" Wang Dagou shouted excitedly, immediately took out his walkie-talkie, and gave the order.
next second!
"Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—"
The eighteen black Mercedes-Benz G-Class cars parked at the village entrance started up simultaneously, like steel cavalry receiving a charge!
The wild roar of the engine echoed through the sky!
Led by Wang Dagou, eighteen G-Class vehicles led the way, forming a majestic and imposing black dragon that kicked up clouds of dust as it surged toward the back of the mountain!
That imposing presence seemed capable of flattening the entire mountain!
Behind them, a massive convoy of construction machinery, consisting of hundreds of excavators, bulldozers, and heavy trucks, followed like a steel torrent!
The entire Jiangjia Village was in an uproar!
All the villagers ran out of their homes and stood by the roadside, looking at the spectacular sight they had never seen before in their lives. They were all so excited that their faces turned red!
Their homeland is about to undergo a complete transformation and rebirth today!
At the same time, the pleasant system notification sound arrived in Jiang Chen's mind as expected.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully consolidated all the lands, suppressed unhealthy practices with swift and decisive action, and brought your family's prestige to its peak!]
[Based on the analysis, the host's recent land consolidation is an "epic investment for the family business," and a rebate will now be settled for you...]
[Congratulations, host! You have triggered a 10x bonus!]
[Ding! 32 million yuan has been credited to your account!]
Jiang Chen's smile deepened as he looked at the long string of zeros that suddenly appeared in his mobile banking app.
The more you spend, the more money you seem to have!
This feeling is just so amazing!
The sci-fi fortress on the blueprints is about to rise into reality.
The entire Jiangjia Village was immersed in a construction frenzy of activity and rapid development.
Just when the whole village was full of energy and hope for the future.
An old black Passat with its front bumper still wrapped in tape and its paint obviously chipped, slowly drove into the entrance of Jiangjia Village in a very incongruous manner.
The car door opened.
A middle-aged man with a beer belly, wearing a faded old designer shirt, got out of the driver's seat.
Immediately afterwards, a woman with a mean-looking face got out of the passenger seat, wearing a shawl that sheds fur.
It was Feng Deyao, Jiang Chen's uncle, a section chief in the county town who usually looked down on rural relatives and thought the whole village was full of country bumpkins.
And his aunt, Feng Mei, who has always been arrogant and haughty.
Looking at the bustling scene before them, the two men's eyes revealed not satisfaction, but naked jealousy and greed.
