Chapter 452: Zhong Kui also catches people's hearts
Old Master Qi vomited blood and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. The other members of the Qi family were also in a daze and became cowards.

Faced with the questioning of the entire village, no one dared to stand up and explain, and they all followed Grandpa Qi to the hospital.

From that day on, the doors of the villa were always open, except for the door inside the villa which was locked. The villagers of Chitang Village were allowed to enter the yard.

After the village chief came back from the county to inquire about the news, he was also very angry when he learned that the Qi family had released water into the pond.

Although I don't know why the Qi family wants to release water into the pond, it doesn't make sense to release water instead of storing water in a good pond!

So the village chief went to the hospital many times to talk to the Qi family and asked them to return the housing land to the village, but the Qi family naturally refused to agree.

The village chief gave in and asked them to return the pond in the village. After all, the villa was built by others, and it would be untenable to return it to the village, but at least the pond could be released, right?
As a result, the Qi family was even more attached to the pond and regarded it as more important than the villa.

During this period, the villagers also caught the Qi family sending people to the pond at night to secretly release water.

The villagers were unhappy and pushed each other with the group of people, and the two sides almost got into a fight.

The village chief also called the police, hoping that they would intervene and have a proper talk with the Qi family about the ownership of the pond.

In the past, everyone thought that the land belonged to them and they could crop it however they wanted. However, the state reclaimed all the land in the past few years and contracted it out to them.

Since even the land has such a rule, why can the Qi family occupy the pond for countless years?

The chaos that broke out in Chitang Village did not affect Jinli and others, because they all left Chitang Village on the day that the old man of the Qi family was hospitalized.

The situation in Chitang Village was turbulent and tense. Jinli and the others came here for vacation and leisure, so they naturally didn't want to get involved.

They packed their bags that afternoon and went to stay at the nearest tourist attraction.

When they left, Chen Qin and others were still enthusiastically discussing how the people from the Qi family knelt down on the spot.

"They must be feeling guilty. Who forced them to kneel? They wanted to kneel.

Thinking back now, the scene was a bit weird. All the Qi family members were kneeling down. I saw several servants trying to help the Qi family members up, but they couldn’t do it after trying so hard, and they almost fell down! "

Chen Qin firmly believed that the people of the Qi family had something to hide, which was why they knelt down one after another.

Xiao Cheng and Sui Lingfang expressed different opinions.

Xiao Cheng: "Maybe it was really a divine intervention. I've never seen a guilty person kneel down on the spot. They were either too scared to react, or they denied it too hastily. Kneeling down was a bit too serious."

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought it was the filming of some TV series.

Sister Fang had the same thought. She felt that the Qi family’s reaction was too big.

Especially shortly after the Qi family knelt down, a spring gushed out of the pond, which was even more incredible, as if everything was calculated.

Even movies and TV dramas can't be shot with such coincidences. Artificially processed art can never compare to the bloody life.

Jinli did not participate in their conversation.

She had a vague feeling that the reason the people from the Qi family knelt down was not because they were guilty, but because they saw her.

She had just worshipped Zhong Kui, and the positive energy in her body was so strong that all evil spirits retreated away and she was immune to all ghosts.

She doesn't know whether there are ghosts in the world.

But the cunning in people's hearts also makes them afraid of Zhong Kui.

It would be more accurate to say that the people of the Qi family knelt down to Zhong Kui rather than to say that they knelt down to her together.

Sister Fang said, "I don't know how Chitang Village will deal with the Qi family's matter. I think the Qi family's pond is unlikely to be saved."

Chen Qin nodded: "It is definitely impossible to save it. The pond will be opened up, but I don't know whether his big villa will be returned to the village."

Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. The Qi family didn't get this pond by trickery. They bought it. It was clearly written in black and white that the people of Chitang Village not only gave them the homestead, but also the pond."

Jinli said meaningfully at this time: "I think the Qi family can't keep either the villa or the pond."

Others looked over curiously, wanting Jinli to express her opinions.

Jinli smiled but said nothing, "Let's continue reading. We have already left Chitang Village. It's useless to think too much. Let's wait for Director Ye to send us news."

"Brother, what should we do? Dad has been in the ICU for three days and he hasn't come out yet."

Qi Hong, with his unshaven beard, said with a dejected look on his face.

In the Qi family, he is the most idle one. He thinks starting a business is too tiring so he does not run a company.

He has a talent for stock trading. He can make money by picking any stock and use the dividends from the stocks to live a life of luxury.

Qi Zhan's face was pale and his hair was a little gray.

In just three days, he endured too much.

After Mr. Qi retired, he gave most of his assets to him, gave a small part to the third son, and gave all of the few tens of millions in cash to the second son.

When the old man was sick and hospitalized, several companies run by the family encountered problems one after another.

Either this company is involved in tax evasion, or that company is involved in fraud and concealment, or sometimes the supply chain and shippers are suddenly cut off when sales were going well.

Ah, this damn tariff war! Damn price war! Damn export-to-domestic sales!

Many of the products sold by Qijiajia are exported to earn foreign exchange. They are of good quality and relatively high in price. Even if they are sold domestically, the selling price cannot be reduced.

Compared with other similar products, their products are hundreds of yuan more expensive, but the quality is similar, so customers naturally will not choose their products.

But it’s strange that their products used to be three or four hundred yuan more expensive than other companies’ products, but online sales were still very good and Chinese people trusted them very much.

However, in recent days, the shipment volume of their products on various online shopping platforms has dropped suddenly, as if there was no traffic coming to them.

But he checked a lot of data and found that the exposure was no different from before, but netizens were like the fickle weather and suddenly they were unwilling to buy their products.

Recently he has been going back and forth between the hospital and the company. He is exhausted and looks visibly older.

Qi Zhan said helplessly: "I'll ask the doctor later what disease Dad has. He obviously doesn't have any chronic diseases and has never had any surgery. Why is he still staying in the ICU?"

He turned around and looked around, but didn't see Qi Tong. He couldn't help but frowned: "Where's the third brother?"

Qi Hong: "Ah? He hasn't come yet? He seems to be busy with other things these days. He is always on the phone and comes to the hospital very late."

Qi Zhan sighed and said, "When my third brother comes over later, tell him not to be lazy. I may not be able to come to the hospital recently. There are a lot of things in the company that I need to deal with."

Qi Hong asked nervously, "What happened in the company? Is it serious?"

Qi Zhan said in a deep voice: "It's not too serious, I can still hold on."

Manufacturing is currently a minor problem. If a company fails, you can just switch to another one. Qi Zhan also believes that the price war will not continue forever, and tariffs should soon be eased, but some countries are fickle and will repeatedly increase and cancel tariffs.

He needs to be prepared to respond to sudden changes in tariffs and expand domestic sales channels in advance.

Since domestic products are sold so cheaply, he can only engage in price wars like others.

As long as the products are sold without loss and cash can be flowing back, then we can still hold on.

Qi Hong approached his eldest brother and asked in a low voice: "Brother, since there is no major problem with the company, can you give me some cash?"

Qi Zhan frowned: "How much do you want?"

Qi Hong held up a finger and said, "Just give me 10 million. All my money is invested in stocks. Every stock has been in the red recently. I can't bear to sell them, but I am very optimistic about a stock. I can close the net within three days, but I don't have cash."

Qi Zhan knew Qi Hong's stock trading skills, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "The company is very short of cash, and I can't use the company's money to give you, but I still have some money privately, and I will transfer 10 million to you later."

Qi Hong said excitedly: "Thank you, big brother. We will split the profits from this stock 50-50 between us. I won't take my third brother with me!"

Qi Zhan's brows relaxed slightly, his tense expression eased a lot, and he scolded with a smile: "I don't know how much money you can make this time, it's too early to be happy!
The market has been bad recently, I think you should redeem all your stocks and wait for a while to see how things develop, so as to avoid further losses the longer you hold them."

Qi Hong said, "Let me take a look."

But deep down in his heart, he remembered what his elder brother said.

He also felt that something was not right with the recent situation, but it was not the stock situation that was wrong, but the situation at home.

Qi Hong thought that after making this profit, he should quickly get all the money back.

On the other hand, Qi Thor, the third son of the Qi family, has been busy these days because he has been constantly transferring assets.

He did these things secretly without telling anyone, because once his eldest and second brothers knew about it, they might also transfer the property secretly like him.

But his eldest brother owns more companies than him, and each of them is developing well. If he wants to sell the companies, the person who takes over will definitely prefer to buy his eldest brother's company.

Qi Yu thought to himself: "Brother, I'm sorry, I have to sell my company first before I can tell you."

As for not telling the second brother, the reason is very simple. The second brother has a very good relationship with the eldest brother. Once the second brother knows about this, he will definitely tell the eldest brother.

At the same time, Ye Weijie also put on the Liu Ding Liu Jia amulet that Jinli specially brought for him.

Because he was afraid that the Qi family would come and cause trouble, he would recite the mantra to guard against villains dozens of times every day.

Not only did he recite it silently in his mind, but he would also occasionally recite it aloud openly.

In his eyes, the villain was the Qi family, so he deliberately mentioned the names of all the people in the Qi family when reciting.

The village chief also heard his muttering, but he was not as wary of the Qi family.

He just couldn't bear to see the Qi family draining all the water from the pond. It was such a waste!

Chitang Village has never experienced drought because of the good weather and rainfall in recent years.

But the village chief remembered that Chitang Village used to experience a drought every three or four years, and a severe drought every ten years.

How did they survive the drought?
It was all thanks to the water stored in the nine ponds in the village that the crops were irrigated, so that there was not a total harvest that year.

After learning that the Qi family's pond had been drained for many years, the village chief finally understood why the Qi family always refused to open their pond for water supply whenever there was a drought.

The Qi family would rather donate food and water to the villagers, and even buy boxes of mineral water to irrigate the crops, than open the pond. So this is what happened.

It’s not that they don’t want to open the water in the pond, but there has been no water in it for a long time.

The village chief made up his mind that the Qi family’s homestead could be taken back or not, but the pond must be taken back because it belongs to the village!

"By the way, village chief, didn't you go to the village chief of the neighboring village to ask him to help catch the rumor spreader? How's the investigation going?"

Ye Weijie thought about this and asked.

The village chief waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. The neighboring village doesn't want to help at all. They are jealous of our village because our village was chosen as the filming location by your crew. They are sour in their words and deeds."

"He also said that the county had approved a million-dollar road construction fund for us, but I had never heard of it. I was so scared that I rushed to the county again, but the people there thought I was crazy. They said that with the million-dollar fund, it would be great if we could get tens or hundreds of thousands!"

"Yesterday I went to the next village on purpose and almost had a fight with the village chief, asking him to spread rumors. As a result, the village chief also complained that he had heard it from other villages.

If I hadn't been busy at the time, I would have taken the head of the neighboring village to the other village and asked who disliked our Chitang Village and threw all kinds of rumors at us."

Ye Weijie heard this and said, "It was probably spread by the Qi family. He doesn't want Chitang Village to be transformed into a tourist village at all."

The village chief glanced at him and asked, "Do you have a grudge against the Qi family, or did the Qi family offend you? Why do you blame them for everything?"

Ye Weijie choked on his words.

The village chief did not know that the nine ponds in Chitang Village formed a feng shui formation. The Feng Shui master he invited could not see it, and probably other Feng Shui masters could not see it either.

Jinli did see it, but she specifically told him not to tell other people in Chitang Village, lest those people would become complacent and wait for death after knowing it.

Ye Weijie could only say vaguely: "It is true that I do not like the Qi family. Why would a normal person deliberately drain the water from the pond?"

All nine ponds have circulating water. Even though the Qi family’s pond is located at a lower level, it can still circulate to other ponds.

But because they released water into this pond, for many years water only flowed in but not out, and the entire supply depended on spring water flowing down from the mountains.

The water in the pond has become less and less over the years, and the villagers think that it is the Qi family's release of water that has harmed them.

Now that water has reappeared in the Qijia Pond, the villagers are happy and run every day to see how much water has accumulated.

Suddenly, a villager ran up to them and said excitedly: "The water in Qi's pond is full, and the water in other ponds is full!"

The village chief and Ye Weijie ran over to see that many villagers had gathered at the Qijia Pond, shouting "Auspicious sign!"
"God has shown his mercy. All the ponds in Chitang Village are now full and look brand new!"

"Chitang Village will never lack water again, and we will never have to worry about drought again!"

"The water in all the ponds has become clear!"

Ye Weijie deliberately scooped up a handful of water and found that the water was clear and had a faint dry and sweet fragrance.

His expression changed and he took a photo for Jinli.

The water in this pond seems to be really different.

And at the moment when the water in the Qi family's pond was full, Qi Zhihong's condition in the ICU ward suddenly worsened and he died!

Have a nice weekend, []~(￣▽￣)~*Cheers
