258 Land Rental Crisis (5)
After Shi Lichun and the other two left, Shi Xiaohai looked at them and said worriedly, “Dad, did… did we offend them? Is this good?”
“Hmph!” Shi Bangjian snorted and said, “So be it. Others might be afraid of the Shi family, but I’m not! Anyway, I’m not asking them for anything.”
Shi Xiaohai asked, “But Dad, what if they really don’t rent our land? Are we really going to grow watermelons?”
Before Shi Bangjian could answer, Shi Xiaohai said, “This year, our village has a good price for watermelons. It’s all thanks to Gu Qingming’s friend. If we offend her, will she still accept our watermelons next year? If she doesn’t accept them, can our watermelons still be sold? Even if they can be sold, can they be sold for a good price?”
“Besides, although that piece of land is suitable for planting watermelons and peanuts, if the surrounding land is rented to the Shi family, our land will be there. Their family wants to build a greenhouse, so our land will be surrounded by greenhouses. The light will be blocked, so what good things can be planted?”
Shi Jianbang slowly fell into deep thought.
“Besides, Dad, maybe you don’t have to beg the Shi family now, but I’m still young. I haven’t married a wife, and I haven’t fathered a son. In the future, there will be many places where I need help or request help. It’s fine if it’s just a small favor, but what if something big happens?”
Shi Xiaohai looked a little anxious and worried as he said, “In our entire Stoneback Village, only the Shi family has the ability to help with big matters. Dad, even if you don’t think for yourself, you have to think for me and my descendants, right? It’s just renting a plot of land. It’s not like our family doesn’t have land or money and needs a few thousand dollars to save us. Why do we have to do those things that offend people? Dad!”
After hearing Shi Xiaohai’s words, Shi Bangjian frowned.
A moment later, Shi Bangjian nodded with a serious expression and said, “Son, you’re right. I was too short-sighted and only saw such a small benefit in front of me. I didn’t think about my descendants.”
Shi Xiaohai’s eyes lit up. He asked excitedly, “Dad, have you thought it through?”
Shi Bangjian glanced at him and said angrily, “Since you’ve already said so, wouldn’t I be harming our entire family and even our descendants if I continue to be so stubborn?”
Not to mention the entire village, even the entire town knew that the Shi family’s son-in-law had donated money to repair the roads. Therefore, the relevant units naturally had to credit the Shi family for this.
In other words, the Shi family had a backer.
If they really encountered something that ordinary villagers like them could not handle in the future, they might really ask the Shi family to do it.
He was getting on in years. Maybe he didn’t need to beg anymore.
But what about his son and grandson? Who could guarantee that they wouldn’t need to beg the Shi family for help?
Shi Xiaohai touched the back of his head and said with a silly smile, “Dad, it’s great that you have thought it through. Then now we…”
“Let’s go to the Shi family now!” Shi Bangjian sighed and said, “Although it’s a little embarrassing, it was indeed my fault.”
…
“Strange, how did Uncle Bangjian figure it out?”
After Shi Bangjian and his son left, Shi Hangyu said in confusion, “He was clearly very arrogant when he asked for a high rent previously.”
Shi Lichun looked outside and said, “Shi Bangjian might be a little greedy, but Xiaohai is a good child. Perhaps he convinced his father.”
Shi Hangyu thought for a moment and nodded. “That’s possible! Sis, now that Uncle Bangjian has agreed to rent the land, only the Shi Bangqing and Shi Banghua families are left! Both families have a certain grudge against our family. I reckon that even if the rent is higher, they won’t agree to let it go!”
Not to mention Shi Bangqing’s family, now that the two families had become enemies, Old Man Shi and his wife would definitely not rent the land to the Shi family!
Speaking of which, the two families did not have much conflict, but it was also a conflict that often erupted between neighbors.
It was a dispute about land and homesteads.
Back then, when Shi Lichun and his brothers built a new house, they did not knock down the old house to build a new one. Instead, they built a new foundation.
This homestead used to be a small hill and belonged to Shi Tietou.
The three brothers flattened the small hill and began to build the infrastructure, planning to build a house.
But at this moment, Shi Banghua’s family came knocking on his door.
They said that their family had a share of the hill that was demolished back then. His grandfather had told him himself. Therefore, if they wanted to build a house, they had to buy it for 5,000 dollars. Otherwise, they could forget about building it.
Shi Banghua had only said it verbally, but there was no evidence to prove it.
However, Shi Tietou could furnish the land certificate. Shi Banghua could not produce proof of ownership
How could the Shi Banghua family agree? They just insisted that they owned the land. However, because there was not much land, it was directly allocated to the Shi family.
It was fine in the past, but now their family was going to use it to build a house. After the house was built, the land could not be returned at all.
Hence, the two families got into a fight.
No, it was Shi Banghua’s family who made a scene, but there was no evidence to prove that the land belonged to their family.
How could Shi Tietou’s family be willing to fork out this money? They didn’t care how much trouble they caused and just asked their three sons to build the house.
Shi Banghua’s family wanted to stop him, but they could not.
After this ruckus, Shi Banghua’s family lost all their money and land, and they offended the entire Shi family. The Shi family’s new houses were erected one after another, but their own houses were still mud houses. Naturally, they hated the Shi family.
Even after that, when his family built a new three-story house, it was incomparable to the three brothers’ villa-like house. Therefore, he had been holding back his anger and resentment.
Now that Shi Lichun wanted to rent their family’s land, there was no way. Even the windows were closed.
For Shi Lichun, it was best if Shi Banghua’s family could rent out their land. If they could not rent it, they would do as Gu Qingming said and bypass their land.
Shi Lichun thought for a moment and said, “I’ll go to Shi Banghua’s house again.”
However, Shi Hangyu disagreed. “Dad, it’s better not to go. With their petty and narrow-minded personality, it will only be difficult to go to their house.”
Gu Qingming thought for a moment and said, “Eldest Uncle, I thought that if we don’t rent the land of the three families, there will only be two now. As long as Shi Bangjian is willing to rent out their land, it doesn’t matter to us whether the other two families rent it or not. Therefore, we can just bypass their land.”
“That’s right. Mingming said to go around it!” Shi Hangyu agreed.
