C1049 Threatening and Bribery
After filling up a few cars, everyone was ready and continued to drive towards the Lee Family Village under the Ning County.
The Lee Family Village was located in Qingshui town. From the county to the Lee Family Village, it would take close to two hours of travel.
They set off early in the morning from Luzhou City. When they arrived at Qingshui town, it was almost noon.
"Let's go straight ahead. We will reach the small market outside Lee Family Village. The village is just in front of us!" Seeing that they were about to return home, Lee Yifann felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
In the past, he would only come back when the New Year holidays were over.
It was almost a year ago when he went home last time. Time passed really quickly. He sighed in his heart.
...
At the same time, in Lee Family Village.
"Great-Grandfather, are you really going to be so stubborn?"
"Wei Gang, I didn't expect you to forget your ancestors so much! Have you forgotten that this place is where you were born and raised? Are you just going to let outsiders harm it? If this piece of land is really occupied and the mountain is razed, are you worthy of your ancestors?" Lee Changrong was so angry that his entire body was trembling, and his face was ashen.
A trace of guilt flashed across Lee Weigang's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He gritted his teeth. "Great-Grandfather, I understand everything you said! But those are the old concepts of the past. This is a new era. It's different!"
"Stop talking nonsense to confuse the masses! What new era? It's purely an excuse for your greed! " Lee Changrong did not fall for his trick. He had lived for more than half of his life, and had seen all kinds of people.
He could tell at a glance whether Lee Weigang was speaking the truth, out of selfishness, or in a dignified manner.
Lee Weigang took a deep breath. He was also a little annoyed in his heart. He had been persuading him for so long, but this old man refused to give in and kept looking for trouble for him!
"Great-Grandfather, don't be stubborn! It's not like I don't want to give you compensation for expropriating this piece of land. The boss has already made it very clear that each person is worth five hundred thousand! Great-Grandfather, don't be stubborn anymore. Just agree! This isn't just for your own good. It's also for Yifann's good!" Lee Weigang emphasized the word "Yifann." He was reminding Lee Changrong that Lee Yifann had already been expelled by Medical University and People's Hospital. His future was bleak, and he might not even be able to find a job. If Lee Changrong did not agree to the land acquisition this time, it might be a futile attempt. Not only would he not be able to get the money, but he would also attract a fatal disaster.
A trace of sadness flashed across Lee Changrong's eyes. However, when he thought about how Lee Yifann was learning medicine under Holy Doctor, he ignited his endless hope again.
With this hope, he could not give in. Once he gave in, how would he face his ancestors under the nine springs after his death?
"Even if something happened to Yifann, he is still my grandson! It's not up to you to decide for me here! If you want to occupy Lee Family Village, you have to step over my dead body! " Lee Changrong's voice was stern, and he did not give in at all.
This made Lee Weigang furious. When he thought about the benefits that his family had gotten, it was very likely that it would be because of this old man. His heart was burning with anger.
Some of the other people who had already agreed to the developers' request also started to curse.
"Great-Grandfather, why do you need to do this?"
"Isn't it just an old piece of land? What's the use of guarding it? It's better to get money and buy a house in the city to live a good life!"
"That's right. In a place like the countryside, no matter how good it is, it can only live a hard life. It can't be compared to the city at all!"
"Five hundred thousand, that's five hundred thousand!"
"How about this, let Boss Shan give a little more compensation to Great-Grandfather Fang? Great-Grandfather usually treats the villagers in the village. Most of the villagers don't pay the medical fees. Great-Grandfather ought to take a little more money."
"I can agree on this point!"
... "I agree too!"
The people around were all talking at once. Some of them looked guilty, but some of them could not wait to get the money and live a good life in the city.
Not everyone wanted to live a miserable life in the countryside without anything. Some people just had no choice but to live such a life.
Now that there was a good opportunity in front of them, they naturally had to seize it without any surprises.
When Lee Weigang heard everyone's words, he could not help but smile. "Great-Grandfather, did you hear everything? Everyone agreed to expropriate land! Don't put up a stubborn resistance!"1
" You, you... " Lee Changrong was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He never would have thought that these friendly villagers would become so unscrupulous at this moment.
Lee Weigang's face revealed a sinister smile that showed that his plot had succeeded. He held a smiling face and said, "Great-Grandfather, don't be too angry. I know that in Lee Family Village, big guys have lived for so many years. They all have feelings. But can feelings be eaten as food? He might as well take the money and live a good life in the city. As for those ancestral graves in the mountains, wouldn't they be unable to come back to worship them in the future? Great-Grandfather, why are you so rigid?"
" Don't even think about it! " Lee Changrong stood at the entrance of the clinic and watched as the crowd did not back down.
However, he was only one person. He looked weak and could not withstand so many people.
"Great-Grandfather, it's useless for you to be so stubborn!" Lee Weigang tried his best to persuade him. "A wise man knows when to submit to circumstances. Take a good look at the current situation. Making the right choice is more effective than anything else. It's not like you're going to defend the past. "
"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense to me. I will never agree to it. Just give up on this idea!" Lee Changrong's attitude was ruthless.
His clinic was located in the center of Lee Family Village. If he wanted to use this land, he would not be able to bypass it. This was the reason why these developers had spent so much effort to make him surrender.
No one had expected Lee Changrong to be so stubborn.
Lee Weigang began to lose patience. "Great-Grandfather, if you continue to be like this, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Stop!"
At that moment, a young girl of about seventeen or eighteen broke through the crowd and ran in front of Lee Changrong.
The moment she appeared, Lee Weigang's expression changed.
"Great-Grandfather, are you alright? Did they do anything to you?" The young girl asked with concern.
Lee Changrong shook his head.
"This is too much! So many people are bullying you. Are you still human?" The young girl was very angry. She turned her head and stared at the crowd. "I also don't agree to the expropriation of this land. I stand on Great-Grandfather's side!"
"Nonsense!" Lee Weigang's face darkened. He shouted angrily at the young girl, "Xiaoya, come here. Don't mess around!"
Lee Xiaoya did not move but stared at him with disgust. "Dad, how can you do this? These developers are all devils who eat people without spitting out their bones. You actually colluded with them to harm Great-Grandfather? This is too much! "
" What persecutions? Don't speak nonsense! " A trace of panic appeared on Lee Weigang's face.
"I saw it. You and these two developers discussed something at home a few nights ago. As long as you can persuade everyone to agree, he will give you three million!" Lee Xiaoya's words were shocking.
