Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.
Chapter 303 The Matter of the Land
Yun Huaikang ignored everyone's reactions: "My parents have ten acres of land, but they are too old to cultivate it all, so they will divide it among your two families, half for each."
"From now on, you will be responsible for cultivating the land. You will keep half of the annual harvest, and the other half will be sent to my parents."
"Then every ten days, I would come over to tidy up my parents' house, wash their clothes and bedding, and cook them a good meal as an apology."
Yun Huaikang gave Wu Changchun a wink: "Call the village chief here!"
Wu Changchun went there immediately.
Yun Shengsheng silently gave her father a thumbs up in her heart.
The matter of those ten acres of land was, in essence, a messy affair.
The elderly couple were too old to farm anymore, so they handed the land over to Yun Huai'an a few years ago. Yun Huai'an, however, was unwilling to bend down and work the land himself, so he rented it out to his friend's family, collecting rent every year.
Of the rent collected, 50% went to my friend's family, and of the remaining 50%, only half a percent was set aside for the elderly couple. That little bit of grain wouldn't even be enough for them to eat for two months.
If it weren't for the shop assistants at Yun Huai Kang's shop regularly delivering rice, flour, and oil to the elderly couple, they would probably be starving.
Now things are much better. My father took advantage of the dispute to openly and legitimately reclaim the land, allocated it to those two families to cultivate, and delivered 50% of the grain directly to the elderly couple.
[Based on this calculation, the elderly couple received more than ten times the amount of grain they used to.]
Meanwhile, Yun Huai'an's income has suddenly decreased significantly; he's in for a rough time from now on!
Yun Huaikang's lips curled up.
His little daughter is truly his darling; she knows everything.
He just wanted to make the eldest son's family unhappy.
Anyway, he didn't gain a single penny from the beginning, and no one could say anything bad about him. They would only praise him for being filial and always thinking of his parents.
The village chief was quickly invited over.
The lean, shrewd middle-aged man bowed respectfully before Yun Huaikang.
He dared not refuse Yun Huaikang's request.
He had been living in fear that something might happen to the elderly couple and implicate him, and that if he were to lose his position as village chief, he would have nowhere to turn for help.
Seeing that Yun Huaikang showed no sign of anger, the heart that had been in my throat finally settled down.
Moreover, Yun Huaikang's method was indeed fair, so he didn't hesitate and immediately wrote two contracts.
The terms and conditions inside were written in great detail, even specifying exactly what was to be done every ten days to come and serve the elderly couple.
The two families had already stood up, their eyes wide open, as if they couldn't believe what they had just heard.
They were all poor households in the village, with only three mu of land, barely enough to make ends meet throughout the year.
Now Yun Huaikang is actually giving them ten acres of land to cultivate for free, and even letting them keep half of the harvest. How can this be a punishment? This is clearly giving them a way to survive!
The two families, realizing what had happened, almost burst into tears of joy, and both expressed that they would definitely farm hard and take good care of the elderly couple.
They were practically begging for mercy.
The other villagers also came to their senses, their eyes lighting up.
Ten acres of land, divided 50/50 – this is a rare find.
Some people couldn't help but think to themselves how wonderful it would be if their own families could also suffer such "punishment".
Yun Huaikang then added coldly, "However, this will only happen once."
"If anyone deliberately provokes my parents again, I will not let them off easily."
His words were cold and sharp, and his gaze swept across the faces of the surrounding villagers. Those who had just begun to harbor some thoughts felt a jolt in their hearts when he looked at them, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
How come they never noticed before that the honest and unassuming second son of the Yun family could have such a fierce and terrifying gaze?
The old lady was so angry when she heard Yun Huaikang's arrangement that she stomped her feet.
She originally wanted her second son to stand up for her, and it would be best to arrest those two scoundrels who had harmed her old man and give them a good beating, so they would know that Lord Ma has three eyes!
As a result, her son not only didn't hit anyone, but also gave away their own land to others to farm for free. Isn't that siding with outsiders?
She yelled at the top of her lungs, "Second brother, how could you...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Gan Yuwan grabbed her arm and pulled her back, saying, "Mother, this is a man's matter, so don't worry about it."
The old lady was annoyed and wanted to say something, but then she saw Yun Shengsheng looking over leisurely.
The little girl's face was expressionless, but her dark eyes stared at her unhurriedly. Coupled with the female guard holding a sword beside her, she was so frightened that she immediately shut her mouth.
After she calmed down, Yun Pianpian immediately whispered something in her ear.
After listening to Yun Pianpian's analysis and thinking about it carefully, she realized that it didn't seem like a bad deal after all.
The land is still hers; she doesn't have to farm it herself, and she can get 50% of the harvest every year.
There were also people who came to serve them, washing their clothes and cleaning their house.
The more she thought about it, the brighter her eyes became. In the end, she stopped trying to stop them and even watched them sign the papers, which made the matter a done deal.
Yun Huai'an only received the news after the signing was completed here, and rushed over breathlessly.
Upon seeing the fingerprints already affixed to the contract, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He immediately yelled, "Yun Huaikang! What are you doing? This is my land! What right do you have to rent it to someone else?!"
Yun Huaikang glanced at him: "Oh? How come I didn't know that my parents' land had become yours? Do you have the land deed?"
Yun Huai'an choked, his face flushed red, and he stubbornly said, "I'm the eldest son in the family! Our parents' things should naturally be divided among our family!"
Yun Huaikang sneered: "It seems I remember that even if we were to divide the property, we would have to wait until after our parents have passed away."
"Our parents are still alive, so the land belongs to them."
"Besides, you rented out our parents' land, taking half the rent each year, and giving less than half a percent back to them as filial piety. Are you deliberately trying to starve them to death?"
The villagers who were watching immediately started whispering among themselves.
"After all that fuss, it turns out all the old couple's food ended up in the eldest son's pocket!"
"Not even half of what you expected in terms of filial piety towards your parents?"
"The Yun Huai'an family is truly shameless."
Yun Huai'an's face flushed red and then turned pale, his eyes darting around, wishing he could disappear into the ground.
He used to think that since the Yun Huai Kang family's business was thriving and they had a constant supply of money and food, it was only natural for the second son to put in more effort. He thought that since his family was not as well off as theirs, what was wrong with them contributing more?
But these are all things done in secret; who would bring them up in the open?
He never expected that Yun Huaikang would flip the table in front of so many people.
Yun Huaikang, determined to make sure everyone heard, continued, "Since our parents are ours, let's not even talk about the third brother, who's always away from home. So, shouldn't the cost of supporting our parents be split equally between the two of us brothers…?"
