With such a blatant provocation, Zhao E, right in front of their neighbors, dared not say a word.
After all, their family still had to live in the village, and they would see everyone around from now on.
Unlike Tang Xiaomin and her group, who packed up and left, far away, their spit wouldn't affect them.
Tang Xiaomin and Li Changchun swaggered away. As they passed Zhao E, she casually patted her shoulder.
"Auntie, leave some room for maneuver, and you'll have acquaintances later, wouldn't you agree."
...
Zhao E's heart seethed with hatred, but she didn't take Tang Xiaomin's words to heart.
The funeral arrangements for the old man were completed within three days.
Li Dali's family was in the living room, discussing how to find an excuse to ask Li Changchun for more money when a piece of earth-shattering good news exploded through Hetang Village.
"Did you hear? A big company is going to build a resort in our Hetang Village. All houses within the planned area will be subject to demolition and compensation, and the land will also be compensated!"
"This is really too good. My son has been worrying about not having money to get married. With this demolition compensation, that girl won't be good enough for my son anymore. He must find someone of equal standing."
"My house is over a hundred square meters. They should compensate me over a million, or I won't agree."
...
The small parking lot at the entrance of Hetang Village was packed with a large group of luxury cars, a sight that blinded the eyes of Hetang Village. Su Dan Novel Network.
In one of the cars, Tang Xiaomin, wearing sunglasses and drinking juice while enjoying the air conditioning, patiently listened to Lu Xing's report.
"Miss Tang, the project plan has been enlarged into a poster and hung at the entrance of Hetang Village. The resort project and the news of demolition compensation have already caused a stir in the village."
Tang Xiaomin nodded with satisfaction.
"Well done."
"Next, you will take a few people, carry paint buckets, and paint the word 'Demolish' on the houses along the road, all the way to my adoptive parents' small cabin."
Lu Xing's heart shivered. He admired Tang Xiaomin's willingness to resort to such despicable tactics for revenge.
At the same time, he couldn't help but worry.
"Miss Tang, this matter is full of flaws. Are you sure they will fall for it?"
Putting down the juice, Tang Xiaomin gave Lu Xing a lesson.
"Lu Xing, remember this: people who fall into money pits only see money. Even if the pit is bigger than the money, they won't see the pit."
"Sometimes, it's not that the swindler's tricks are clever, but that the fools are too foolish."
Lu Xing was half-believing, half-doubting, thinking that even a three-year-old wouldn't believe such a sky-high pie.
However, he followed Tang Xiaomin's instructions.
The plan was as useless as a decoration. Lu Xing led a few helpers to paint. Soon, they arrived in front of Li Dali's small flat.
Li Dali's family of four was so excited they couldn't close their mouths. They warmly welcomed them.
"You've worked hard, please come in and sit down."
"Youyou, quickly make some tea."
Li Youyou, who was always lazy and gluttonous, rushed to make tea, afraid of not entertaining these money gods properly.
"Sirs, please have some tea."
Li Youyou eagerly asked Lu Xing, "Is this gentleman a leader? I'd like to ask, how much compensation can our house get if it's demolished?"
"Let me see."
Lu Xing looked at the blueprint and did a rough calculation.
"It should be around a million for compensation. The specific amount will depend on the final actual measurements. We are only doing a rough estimate now, and there will be real-name registration later. But it will be soon."
One million!
!!!
Li Dali's family wouldn't earn this much money in their lifetime!
The four members of the family could hardly express their excitement. Although the money hadn't arrived yet, their nouveau riche demeanor had already arrived in advance.
Li Yong excitedly said, "That's great! Compensation! I'm going to buy a BMW."
Li Youyou said, "Our family is also millionaires now. With this background, the man I marry must be worth at least ten million!"
Zhao E: "I want to buy a gold necklace, a big gold necklace."
Li Dali: "We'll move to the city in the future and become city dwellers. Who among our poor relatives will dare to look down on us? This is truly bringing glory to our ancestors!"
...
Lu Xing had never been so speechless in his life.
Although he had heard early on that Li Dali's family was eager for money, he never expected them to be so maddened to the point of losing their minds.
It truly opened his eyes.
He had worried earlier that such a flawed trick was too hasty.
But now it seemed they were overrated; he didn't need to use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken.
Seeing them so happy made Lu Xing uncomfortable.
He instructed one of his subordinates to paint the word "Demolish" on the two small dilapidated thatched houses next door, and then they left.
Just as they took two steps, as expected, they were stopped by Li Dali's family.
"Hey... you haven't finished painting, why are you leaving?" Zhao E said.
Li Yong also said, "Yes, you missed painting our house."
"Missed painting?"
Lu Xing looked at the blueprint suspiciously.
"No, we didn't miss painting."
This: ...
Li Dali's family immediately became angry.
"Leader, you must have missed painting. Believe me, look, there's no word on our house. Why didn't you paint it?"
"Yes, look for yourself," Li Youyou let out a sickening sound.
Lu Xing sneered and very sternly told them a very devastating fact.
"Everyone, I think you've misunderstood."
"We are working according to the project plan. Only what is within the plan and occupied will be demolished. What is outside the plan is not."
"Unfortunately, the two-story flat behind you is not within the plan. The two small thatched houses on the edge of the plan will also be demolished by our group. What was the owner's name again..."
"Manager Lu, the owner's name is Li Changchun."
"Oh, yes, yes, yes."
"You are close to him, please trouble yourselves to call him and notify him to come back within a week to sign an agreement. Our demolition compensation will also be distributed gradually."
After speaking, Lu Xing led his team away.
Zhao E's family, unwilling, chased after them, trying to negotiate.
"Leader, why can't our house be demolished? This doesn't make sense."
"Yes, why can the thatched houses be demolished, but my house can't? Isn't this bullying?"
However, before they could get close to Lu Xing, they were roughly pushed aside by several fierce-looking subordinates.
Lu Xing, abandoning his previous polite attitude, said coldly, "A bunch of ants dare to obstruct our group's business. Do they even know their own limits? What are they, pfft!"
...
The cars sped away, leaving Li Dali's family to inhale a stomach full of dust.
At this moment, their feeling was no different from falling from heaven to hell.
"Alas, our house isn't being demolished. All that joy was for nothing, it makes me so angry!" Li Youyou was so angry her chest heaved unevenly.
With nowhere to vent, she inexplicably took her anger out on Li Dali and Zhao E.
"Uncle's thatched houses are being demolished, why didn't you want those two thatched houses back then and insisted on these houses?"
"It's all your fault. My dream of marrying into a wealthy family is shattered. How could I have such stupid parents!"
