āHmm? Donāt I just need to water them? What else is there to do?ā
āThatās not all.ā Yao Bin spat out a mouthful of fishbone and said,
āThe water wells for farming were all manually dug in the village, and each household has paid for them. Since youāre new here, you naturally canāt use the well water.
āThatās not right.ā Lin Yi said.
āThe original owner of the house I bought should have paid for it, right? Now that Iāve bought his house, Iām qualified to use the well water.ā
āItās not as simple as you think. If you change ownership, you have to pay a new set of fees.ā
āCanāt I get water from my own house?ā āNo, he wonāt let you.ā Yao Bin said.
ā¦..
āWho wouldnāt?ā
āLiu Dongming. He was in charge of digging the well, so he didnāt allow others to use the water from their houses to water the land.ā
āWhat kind of bullish*t rule is this? How can you agree to this?ā
āThe main factor is that we all use well water to irrigate the land, and we use a lot of it. Weāre different from you, who only has a greenhouse. You donāt need to worry about this.ā
āLogically speaking, the money for digging wells and farming should be paid by the state, right? Why are the commoners paying for it?ā
āSigh, letās not talk about this. Letās just drink.āYao Bin said,
āYouāre a rich man too, so you shouldnāt be lacking that bit of money. Iāll bring you to pay the money tomorrow, then you can just farm peacefully.ā
āYou are using a greenhouse, so you can start planting now. It will take some more time before we can plant in our open land. In the meantime, we can share some water with you.ā
āI donāt lack money, but I canāt let you guys just burn your money, right?āLin Yi said.
āThe water is free. Why are they charging for it here?ā
āYes, itās very unreasonable. Liu Dongming is well-established as the village tyrant. His brother-in-law is also the village chief.āYao Bin said,
āWhen the wells were initially dug, there were a few troublemakers in the village who disagreed. In the end, not only did he physically assault them, but he also vandalized their property. We are all ordinary folks who just want to live a peaceful life. We donāt dare to oppose him, so we can only obediently pay the money.ā
āDidnāt you call the police?ā
āDonāt even talk about this.ā Sun Bin sneered disdainfully and said, āThey called for the police but they didnāt come. In the end, his leg was broken, and he had to pay for the medical expenses himself.ā
āAnd then? Didn āt you guys do anything else? Did you just swallow your anger and endure it?ā
āThe person who called the police had his legs broken. His wife couldnāt take it anymore, so she went to the city to complain to the higher-ups. Guess what happened in the end? Before she could enter the city, she was stopped by Liu Dongming at the highway entrance.ā
āAnd then?ā
āI heard that she was raped and was suffering from mental problems. She committed suicide by jumping into a well.ā
Lin Yi rubbed his chin. He felt that this person was much more despicable than Yu Deqiang.
āSo listen to my advice. Tomorrow, pay the money so you can farm in peace.ā Lin Yi chuckled. āIām not afraid of that.ā
āLittle brother, donāt think that just because you have money, you donāt have to fear anything.ā Yao Bin said.
āI donāt know how much money you have, but Iām sure heās richer than you. You canāt afford to offend him.ā
āHeās just a village tyrant. How much money can he have? ā
āYou donāt understand. There are a lot of tricks at play here.ā Yao Bin said.
āOver the years, half of the land supplement money from the higher-ups has gone into his and his brother-in-lawās pockets. Moreover, last year, the higher-ups allocated a lot of money to the village to repair the road. It hasnāt been repaired until now. I reckon theyāve pocketed this money and taken interest from the bank. When the higher-ups investigate, they can symbolically repair it whilst withholding the rest of the large sum. Think about how much money theyāll earn in this way.ā
āThe situation in your village is quite complicated,ā Lin Yi smiled.
āItās not complicated. You just havenāt stayed in the countryside before. This happens in every village. Itās just that our situation is a little more serious.ā
āAlright, Iāll remember everything,ā Lin Yi said.
āThen come and look for me tomorrow. Iāll bring you to pay the money.ā
āAlright, weāll talk about this when the time comes. ā
After talking about farming, the three of them began to gossip about the village.
Lin Yi realized that although there was a village tyrant messing with the order of life, there were also many interesting things happening in private.
For example, someone in the Wang family in the south of the village got cancer. Instead of going to the hospital to treat it, they found a godly dancer who said that he could chase away ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.
If he paid 8 ,ooo yuan, he would be able to recover in a month. In the end, he did not even live another week. He was completely cheated of his money.
Meanwhile, the second daughter-in-law of the Liu family in the village looked more serious than anyone else, but she had slept with half of the masters in the village.
There was also a certain someone whose family had bought two cars. It looked glorious, but in reality, they were in debt.
In Lin Yiās opinion, these scenarios could all be written into novels.
The meal lasted until eight in the evening. Seeing that it was about time to go,
Lin Yi bade farewell and went home so as not to disturb their rest.
After chatting with Ji Qingyan for a while, he went to bed. The next morning, he woke up at 7 a.m. and prepared to go to town to buy some water pipes before using the water to farm.
He didnāt care about what Yao Bin said at all.
āSister-in-law, where are you guys going?ā Lin Yi asked.
āIām going to send him to school. I wonāt talk to you for now. If I donāt leave now, weāll be late,ā Sun Chunli said as she pushed her bicycle.
āYou donāt have to ride a bicycle. Iām going to town, so I can help you send the child to school.ā
āItās fine. Iāll just send him myself.ā
āItās fine. Itās not convenient for you to ride a bicycle. Weāre neighbors, so we have to help each other.ā
Sun Chunli smiled honestly. āThen I wonāt stand on ceremony with you.ā Lin Yi drove the car to their house, and Sun Chunli sent Yao Bowen out. āIām telling you, behave yourself in the car. Donāt keep shifting around. ā
āGot it, Mom.ā
After instructing Yao Bowen, Sun Chunli looked at Lin Yi.
āIāll have to trouble you today. Come back to my house for lunch.ā
āSure. ā
Lin Yi and Sun Bowen got into the car and drove towards Four Corner Town.
āIs your elementary school in town? Why havenāt I seen it before?ā Lin Yi asked. āOur school is two miles from town. You have to follow the department store road and continue driving east to see it. ā
āAh, I know where it is. ā
Following the address Sun Bowen gave him, Lin Yi drove Yao Bowen to Zhen Elementary School.
Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived at Town Primary School. It was a simple two-story building.
The parents dropped off their children here one after another.
However, some of the older children came by themselves, seemingly already independent.
What surprised Lin Yi was that there was a female teacher with a beautiful figure standing at the school gate. She looked out of place compared to the parents in town.
āHello, Teacher Du,ā Yao Bowen said in the car.
His tone was a little smug since he had come in a big car..
