This kind of thing was very rare for the people in the village. The government usually gave compensation in a fixed location, so this time, there weren't many houses that could be found. Thus, the people in the county were arranged to live in a nearby village.

This way, the value of the land would be multiplied by several times. Moreover, to be able to walk out of the village and live next to the county was a great thing for the village.

Following Xu Chen's argument with the third uncle's family, the people from the village also came one after another. They were all old people, and none of them were young. They all stood by, watching, not saying a word. It was hard for the Puritans to cut off their household chores. It was the same no matter where they put them.

No matter what Xu Chen said, third uncle's family still did not agree to return the land to Xu Chen. Xu Chen became anxious and started an argument with third uncle's family. I stood aside and for a moment, I didn't know what to say. After all, I was just an outsider. If I wanted to say something, it would be even worse.

At this time, a hunchbacked old man holding a walking stick walked out from the crowd. He hit the ground heavily with the walking stick in his hand and shouted, ”Enough, we're all from the same village. It's not shameful for you guys to make such a ruckus!”

Hearing the appearance of the old man, the three of them stopped. third uncle and his family no longer had smiles on their faces, the only things left were being mean and cold.

Xu Chen's face was flushed red as he looked at the family angrily. Gritting his teeth, he pounced on them and wished that he could tear them apart. I walked up and put my arm around Xu Chen's shoulders, signalling to her not to get too excited.

Old Grand Uncle sighed lightly, and said: ”Alright, everyone can go now, I will not tell anyone else. Let's go to the three families and talk about this matter.”

Xu Chen could not help but say: ”Old sir, there's no need. If there's anything, we can talk about it here.

Old Grand Uncle looked at Xu Chen, nodding his head and saying, ”Alright, little girl Xu, what do you want to do now?”

Xu Chen said without hesitation, ”It's simple, you were present at the beginning as well. According to what I said before, as long as I return the money within a year, Big Brother's ashes and house would be returned to us. It's not even a year yet, Old Grand Uncle, you won't go back on your words, right?”

The old man nodded and said, ”Mm, little girl, did you bring the money?”

Hearing this, I signalled to Biao Zi who was beside me. Biao Zi immediately came over, took out a bag from his backpack, and placed it in front of the Old Master.

100,000 yuan, under the sun's illumination, the surrounding people couldn't help but to suck in a breath of cold air. A hundred thousand yuan was not a small sum. Many families in the village might have quite a bit of savings. However, seeing a hundred thousand yuan placed in front of them made quite a few people feel dizzy.

When the third uncle's family saw the money in the bag, they couldn't help but feel excited and impulsive, but in the end, they endured it.

”Since you brought the money, then alright? Take your money to the village committee office and let the accountant count it, right?” Old Grand Uncle took a look at his backpack, then turned and spoke to Xu Chen.

Xu Chen still wanted to speak, but I spoke first, ”Old Grand Uncle, what you say is the law.”

Old Grand Uncle looked at me and said calmly, ”Mm, this young lad is not bad. Little San, you guys go back and bring Xu Guang's ashes over, if there's anything, we can talk about it later.”

third uncle hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, ”Ok, Old Master, we will go right away.”
