Chapter 1121 - 039 Zhuangzi_2
Lin Yuan was very pleased with He Guangming’s firm stance. If he had been a soft character, she could only protect him temporarily but not for a lifetime, and he might even bring her plenty of trouble. But now, she had no worries at all, and she felt completely assured placing the vineyard and manor in He family village.
"I do think Village Chief He is absolutely right," Lin Yuan said slyly, glancing at He Guangming with a smile, "This land and manor originally belong to He family village, and I feel even more reassured letting Village Chief He handle it entirely."
With that, she gestured to Lin Yi to give the Silver Tael to He Guangming and added, "I bought this land and manor from He family village, so the silver should indeed be given to Village Chief He. Oh, and remember, Village Chief He, you must distribute this silver to every villager. If there is any embezzlement, hmph, don’t blame me for turning against you!"
Lin Yuan’s tone was rather unfriendly as she spoke these words, but He Guangming understood in his heart that she was not warning him but rather warning the Lizheng and the other village chiefs not to think about laying their hands on the silver.
"Miss, rest assured, I will personally distribute this silver to the hands of the He family villagers, and not a copper coin will be embezzled!"
He Guangming held the silver notes somewhat shakily, filled with excitement and joy, as this time the villagers could finally receive the silver that belonged to them, and they wouldn’t have to live under the Lizheng’s thumb anymore.
Seeing the Lizheng grinding his teeth in hatred, Xia Zheng didn’t skimp at adding fuel to the fire, "Oh, right, the Lizheng’s comment just reminded me that we need to have this land deed notarized at Yamen. Since Lizheng knows people there, he should accompany us!"
Upon hearing Xia Zheng’s proposal to accompany them to Yamen, a spark of life returned to the Lizheng’s eyes. This would give him a chance to blackmail He Guangming, and although it might not yield as much silver as he originally hoped, it would still be better than nothing at all!
However, Xia Zheng’s next statement smashed him back down to the mud again.
"Lin Yi, you will represent us and go along. Remember, stay close to Village Chief He at all times and don’t slack off!"
