Chapter 1120 - 039 Zhuangzi
While scolding, he also ushered everyone to finish their work. Lizheng wiped the sweat from his face and scurried toward Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng.
But before he could get close, Lin Yuan had already covered her nose and stepped back two steps, frowning as she said, "Stay back, stay back, just talk from there!"
Lizheng awkwardly looked down at the stains on his clothes and said with a dry laugh, "Miss, look, the ground is all cleaned up. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, we’ll tidy it up right away."
Lin Yuan curled her lip, the least satisfying thing here is you, get yourself cleaned up first! Load him up on a cart and dump him in that pile of manure over there!
Thinking this to herself, Lin Yuan waved her hand, "No, nothing else, let’s hurry up and sign the deed. Lin Yi, bring the silver."
Lin Yi, lying bored on the carriage shaft, lazily stretched. The wait had been so long that he had taken a nap.
As Lin Yi walked over, pulling a bundle of silver notes from his sleeve, Lizheng’s eyes popped, and he urged He Guangming, "He Guangming, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get the deed! Quick!"
This land belonged to the He Family village, and as the village head, He Guangming naturally held the deed. But now, he hesitated. Once the deed was handed over and the silver received, it would all surely end up in Lizheng’s pocket.
Knowing Lizheng well, it was clear that his willingness to endure so much today was surely for the sake of the silver. Without asking, it was evident that of the one thousand five hundred taels of silver meant for the village, less than half would actually arrive.
That was equivalent to several years’ worth of living expenses for the villagers!
Seeing He Guangming staring blankly, not yet producing the deed, Lizheng and several other village heads were anxious. If it weren’t for Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan being there, they would have rushed forward to strip him and search for the deed.
