Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 117 Homestead Acquired

Wang Fucheng's voice was so kind and gentle that Wang Tieshan almost thought he had misheard. Was this the same hot-tempered team leader who had just argued with the village chief?

Looking at the prepared agreement, Wang Tieshan read it several times and found that it still stated 300 square meters, not more, not less.

Still somewhat hesitant, Wang Tieshan asked to confirm:

"Captain Wang, there's one thing I'd like to confirm with you regarding this agreement."

Having received such a huge benefit from Wang Chengpeng, Wang Fucheng naturally found Wang Tieshan extremely pleasing to the eye and said with a pleasant expression:
"Tieshan, feel free to raise any objections you have to this agreement before signing it."

Offering suggestions? Wang Tieshan was genuinely flattered. Was it even his place to offer suggestions on this?

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Tieshan finally asked the question that had been bothering him:
"Captain Wang, I just want to confirm the area of ​​this plot of land. Is it written as 300 square meters correctly?"

Upon hearing Wang Tieshan's question, Wang Fucheng immediately put on a stern face and said:

"Tieshan, you're in the wrong here. You're questioning the village's decision."

"It's all written down clearly in black and white, and it's been posted on the bulletin board. Would I lie to you?"

"Although this piece of land is indeed somewhat remote and mostly wasteland."

"But you also need to understand the difficulties the village faces. Granting you this piece of land is already the limit."

"Why didn't you raise your objections when you applied? Are you trying to cause trouble now?"

On the other side, Long Yongde, who had received favors from Wang Chengpeng, also chimed in, saying:
"Uncle Wang, you've been a bit unfair in this matter."

"Although the quality of this plot of land is really not good, this is something we agreed on back then. How can you go back on your word now?"

"Now that the announcement has been made public and the agreement has been written, you can decide what to do yourself."

"It's only 300 square meters. Don't even think about taking a single square meter more. Of course, we won't shortchange you even by a single square meter."

Wang Tieshan: ...? ? ?
I just wanted to ask if there was a mistake in the area, or if it was a bit too big. It seems like you misunderstood me.

Under the two men's piercing gazes, Wang Tieshan had no choice but to grit his teeth and quickly sign his name, saying:
"I don't want to back out, I just..."

Before Wang Tieshan could finish speaking, Wang Fu interrupted him:

"You've already signed the document, and you don't intend to back out, so isn't that the end of the matter?"

"Alright, there are still many things to do in the village."

"Take your homestead allocation agreement with you now, and you can do whatever you want with that land."

Wang Fucheng, who was able to become the production team leader, must have some ability. How could he not see what Wang Tieshan was thinking?

His extensive experience with the masses told him that explaining to Wang Tieshan at this time would not only easily attract the attention of Song Zhiyuan's faction and make him see through the scheme, but would also only make things worse.

Giving Wang Tieshan a mild reprimand would actually resolve this somewhat shady matter quickly.

Even after Wang Tieshan arrived at the village office, he still felt like he was dreaming.

He pinched his arm, then his thigh, and looked at the land use agreement in his hand over and over again. Finally, as if waking from a dream, Wang Tieshan muttered to himself in disbelief:

"This 300-square-meter plot of land just belongs to me like that?"

...Wang Tieshan's side was progressing extremely smoothly, but Wang Chengpeng's side was facing numerous difficulties.

Wang Chengpeng is oversimplifying things by thinking he can find Song Wenxin simply because she is Zhou Xia's wife.

After hitting walls everywhere, Wang Chengpeng could only vaguely recall from his past life that the other party seemed to be the daughter of a leader in the supply and marketing cooperative.

During the planned economy era, supply and marketing cooperatives were the main channel for the supply of goods.

Supply and marketing cooperatives almost monopolized the sale of all kinds of daily necessities, including food, daily necessities, and agricultural supplies.

At that time, goods were generally in short supply and needed to be purchased with coupons. The staff of the supply and marketing cooperatives had some room for manipulation in the distribution and sale of goods.

This led to the fact that working in the supply and marketing cooperative was a lucrative job, envied by everyone.

That's why Zhou Xia, a mere production section chief at the Hongqu Textile Factory, could live such a comfortable life, readily handing over a thousand yuan in compensation.

Otherwise, based on his job, although he could live comfortably and even have a good life, he would never be able to spend money so extravagantly as he does now.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xia turned being a kept man into a kept man. Not only did he cheat on Song Wenxin with other women, but he even had a child with her and planned to raise it.

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Chengpeng thought to himself that today was destined to be a fruitless trip.

Nowadays, most employees live in family compounds. If you rush in recklessly, you'll almost certainly not be able to get through the gate.

Waiting at the entrance of the family compound was indeed a good idea, but if it caused a misunderstanding, Wang Chengpeng would be arrested by the security department in no time.

Thinking about this, Wang Chengpeng felt that he seemed to lack someone to introduce him to Song Wenxin.

Who to look for?
Wang Chengpeng instantly thought of two suitable candidates: Ji Yongyue and An Qiuyun.

Ji Yongyue's ability to find so many discarded small appliances and then sell the repaired ones speaks volumes about his skill.

As for An Qiuyun?
The other party didn't seem like someone who would make baseless accusations. Since they had promised to recommend a chef's job to me, they must know someone in the city.

After much deliberation, Wang Chengpeng finally decided to ask Song Wenxin first if there were any ways to introduce him to her.

When it comes to asking for favors, the cost must naturally be considered.

If I ask Ji Yongyue for help, I will inevitably owe him a favor.

Ji Yongyue's favors were hard to repay, so he was naturally not Wang Chengpeng's first choice.

As for asking An Qiuyun for help, that would be much simpler. She seems to have an extraordinary obsession with food. As long as I agree to cook a few tables of good food for her, I should be able to easily solve this problem.

However, considering the sensitive nature of the other party's identity, Wang Chengpeng felt that simply inviting An Qiuyun to his home as a guest might not be appropriate.

After much thought, he decided to invite Xia Mingyue along as well, which would reduce the misunderstandings considerably.

With that in mind, Wang Chengpeng decided to buy more high-end ingredients and seasonings in Shanghe City.

Wang Chengpeng would be embarrassed to ask for help without spending a lot of money.

With that in mind, Wang Chengpeng decided to visit the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there were any suitable ingredients to entertain guests.
