126 Chapter 126: Contracting Land Again_1
"When we get to the village committee, don't just say whatever you want, let me talk to Liu Laotie, so you don't end up arguing with him again."
"Okay, Uncle."
Greg Jensen chuckled in agreement, but he didn't take it to heart.
He had talked about this with Liu Lao Da just yesterday, and Liu Laotie wouldn't block it; quite the contrary, like last time, he would even suggest that Greg contract more land.
Village Committee.
Liu Laotie sat upright behind his desk, mindlessly drawing circles on a piece of paper with a pen.
The female accountant came over with a giggle, leaned on his shoulder, and while massaging it, whispered, "Laosan, wanna play for a bit?"
"Get lost, I've got serious matters to attend to, no time for play," Liu Laotie said irritably.
The female accountant looked down at the paper in front of him, saw the chaotic lines, and thought his scribbles weren't any better than a child's drawings.
She couldn't help but snort and said, "Have you found someone else, or what?"
"I got nothing, didn't I tell you I have serious matters? Can't you understand?"
"Your serious matters are this?"
Liu Laotie waved his hands impatiently and said, "Enough, go on, I'm irritated."
The accountant, seeing his anger, reluctantly returned to her seat.
She was slightly confused about what Liu Laotie was so worked up about.
Actually, even Liu Laotie was puzzled about what was bothering Liu Lao Da, why he was so upset over a fool's issue. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Early this morning, he was still asleep at home when Liu Lao Da dragged him out of bed.
He was told that he must wait at the village committee today until Greg Jensen's issue was dealt with before he could do anything else.
Liu Lao Da even specifically warned him that if he messed up this matter, his 5% share in the herbal fields would have nothing to do with him.
It's just a fool, what's the big deal?
At that moment, Uncle and Greg Jensen walked in.
Although Liu Laotie was unhappy, he didn't dare to spoil his big brother's plan and quickly stood up with a smile to welcome them.
"Oh, if it isn't Uncle, what brings you here? Please, have a seat."
Uncle was startled, involuntarily stepping back and a pile of question marks rose in his mind in an instant.
What's Liu Laotie up to?
Could this be a trap?
Seeing Uncle not moving, Liu Laotie quickly walked over, took his arm, and led him to a seat.
"Uncle, please take a seat, whatever it is, we can talk about it slowly."
After speaking, Liu Laotie stood up straight again and scolded the accountant, "What are you staring for? Go and pour some tea for Uncle and the others!"
"Ah, yes."
The accountant also realized that last time, to make Lindsey Wolfe sign a contract for land, Liu Laotie knelt down on the spot. Now it was the Jensen Family's matter again, no wonder Liu Laotie took it so seriously.
Meanwhile, she was also a bit puzzled.
What exactly was Liu Laotie's angle with the Jensen Family, that every time he saw them, he acted like a mouse seeing a cat?
On the other side, Liu Laotie had already taken out the newly bought tablet, displayed the map of Peach Blossom Village, and started showing it to Uncle.
"Uncle, we truly don't have much uncultivated land left in the village, what do you think about this spot? It's not far from your vegetable base, and there's a small road right next to it."
Listening to Liu Laotie's eager presentation, Uncle felt as if he were dreaming and pinched his thigh hard, the pain made him grimace.
Last time, Lindsey Wolfe told him that Liu Laotie knelt before her, forcing her to contract a hundred acres of land; Uncle hadn't believed it.
Now, he believed it!
Uncle thought for a moment and then felt it was quite normal.
If Liu Lao Da could change for the better, Liu Laotie, as his brother, suddenly becoming nice could also make sense.
No matter what, as long as it was possible to contract the land, it was a win.
"Greg, which area do you think is suitable for you today?"
"Uncle, why ask him? He's just a simpleton."
16:24
With a smile of triumph, Uncle said, "Our Greg isn't foolish anymore; his illness has been cured."
"Cured?"
Liu Laosan was taken aback and looked at Greg Jensen intently, starting to speculate.
The way Big Brother was so concerned about the Jensen Family, could it be just for this Greg Jensen?
Suddenly, Liu Laosan had an epiphany, and his gaze involuntarily narrowed.
Because he suddenly remembered the incident that happened a couple of days ago in the county.
In that incident, the local tyrant Kenny Walker was beaten into a cripple and in the end, was even taken away.
And the mastermind behind all this was someone called Mr. Jensen.
Greg Jensen, could he be Mr. Jensen?
Linking this to Big Brother's attitude towards the Jensen Family, Liu Laosan was even more certain of his guess.
Thinking this way, everything made sense.
No wonder the other day, when the two brothers discussed Kenny Walker, Big Brother's expression was somewhat strange.
So the problem lay here!
"Oh, honored college grad, please have a seat. Sorry for the neglect, sorry for the neglect."
Liu Laosan responded extremely quickly, hurriedly offering Greg Jensen a seat, also bending his waist, adopting a very humble posture.
"There's no need for that, let's just sign the contract first," said Greg Jensen with a calm tone, yet with an air of unquestionability.
Liu Laosan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Don't worry, I've already prepared the contract, we can sign it right now."
"Hmm."
Greg Jensen took the tablet from his hand, casually scrolled through it, and pointing to the plot of land closest to the pumping station base, said,
"Let's take a lease on this piece of land, Second Uncle, what do you think?"
"Oh, okay, anything's fine."
Second Uncle was still in shock, but seeing that Greg Jensen had already made his choice, he followed by nodding his head.
By the time he recovered, Greg Jensen had already signed the contract.
"Second Uncle, shall we go?"
"Ah, we're done just like that?"
"Hmm, the contract's already signed. Once we get back, we'll just need to get someone to plow the land."
"That quick?"
Second Uncle was surprised once again.
Liu Laosan said with a smile, "Second Uncle, if there's anything you need help with, just give the word. Anything I, Liu Laosan, can do, I won't refuse."
"Alright... Alright."
Second Uncle was still somewhat nervous, he pulled Greg Jensen and left the village committee office.
Once they were a bit further away, he quickly asked, "Greg, how much did it cost? Liu Laosan didn't demand an exorbitant price, did he?"
"No, not at all."
"How much per mu?"
Greg Jensen said with a smile, "It didn't cost anything, the village chief saw that we were also having a hard time, and since that land was lying fallow and wasn't of much use, he let us farm it."
"What? No cost? Really didn't cost anything?"
Second Uncle quickly took the contract to look it over, and after scrutinizing it for a while, saw that it indeed stated it was free of charge, and he finally felt relieved but puzzled,
"Strange, what is Liu Laosan really up to? Last time it was free, and this time it's free again?"
"Haha, maybe he's had a change of heart," Greg Jensen chuckled.
Second Uncle nodded gravely and said, "Hmm, that could be possible, but we still can't be too careful. Find a lawyer someday to check if there's anything wrong with this contract."
"Ugh, do we need to be that cautious?"
"How could we not be careful with this kind of thing?"
Second Uncle gave him a reproachful look and said, "Second Uncle has eaten more salt than the rice you've eaten; could I possibly trick you?"
Greg Jensen knew Second Uncle meant well and was filled with gratitude, smiling he said, "Okay, I'll find a lawyer to take a look when I have time to go to the county."
