Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 120: Wrecking My Land?

"Three times! The yield is at least three times that of ordinary seeds!"

Lin Wan Yi’s words were like a boulder dropped into a calm lake.

The villagers erupted into chaos.

"Oh my! Three times! Wouldn’t that thirty acres turn the world upside down?"

"Mr. Lin, this... this really is a miracle seed!"

A bold auntie rubbed her hands and stepped forward, her eyes glowing.

"Mr. Lin, can you share some of these miracle seeds with us?"

"Yes, yes! The price is negotiable!"

"Please, Mr. Lin!"

The crowd suddenly became excited, and everyone surrounded Lin Wan Yi.

Tian Laosan and his daughter-in-law were squeezed outside the crowd, staring at Lin Wan Yi being the center of attention, their faces darker than a pot’s bottom.

"Bah! Miracle seed, my foot!" Tian Laosan’s daughter-in-law spat sourly, "I think she’s just a fox spirit using sorcery!"

Tian Laosan stared intently at the lush green sprouts, the greed and jealousy in his eyes almost tangible.

At that moment, the sound of a car engine gradually approached.

A black sedan abruptly stopped by the roadside.

This car looked much more imposing than Gu Yanshen’s military jeep.

The car door opened, and a woman, wearing a Dacron shirt and sporting fashionable curls, got out.

As soon as she got out, she disdainfully covered her nose with a handkerchief, frowning.

Her gaze swept over the villagers, finally landing on Lin Wan Yi with an air of superiority.

"Who is Lin Wan Yi?"

Lin Wan Yi looked at her calmly.

"I am."

The woman sneered and walked towards her.

"You are Lin Wan Yi?"

Her voice was sharp, carrying an inexplicable sense of superiority.

"This farm should have been repossessed long ago! What right do you have to occupy it?"

Two men who followed her out of the car stood on either side of her, looking hostile.

The villagers, intimidated by the display, retreated a few steps, and their chatter diminished.

Before Lin Wan Yi could speak, Gu Lan couldn’t hold back anymore.

"What nonsense are you talking? This was my sister-in-law’s mother’s dowry for her!"

"Dowry?" The woman reacted as if she had heard the biggest joke.

A man wearing glasses stepped forward and cleared his throat.

"Comrade Lin Wan Yi, we are from the Industrial and Commercial Administration. We suspect you of illegal operations. Please cooperate with our investigation!"

Lin Wan Yi smiled.

She leisurely took out a few sheets of paper from the cloth bag she carried.

"Comrade, please look carefully."

She handed over a land deed stamped with the revolutionary committee’s seal and a letter proving the dowry.

"In black and white, the land deed states the owner is my mother, Jiang Wan, and I inherited it. This letter proves that the farm is dowry, which is legally protected private property."

Her voice was steady and unhurried.

"As for illegal operations, I am tending to my own land to improve my family’s life. How can that be illegal?"

The man with glasses, seeing the bright red seal on the document, started to sweat and was rendered speechless.

The woman’s face, Liu Hong, instantly turned unpleasant.

"You... you stop using these things to fool people!"

In her embarrassment and anger, she dropped all pretense.

"I don’t care what you have! This land must be taken back today!"

She signaled with her eyes to the two men behind her.

"Destroy it! Uproot all these poisonous seedlings!"

The two men, who looked like thugs, immediately sneered, rolled up their sleeves, and charged towards the fields.

The villagers gasped in shock.

Gu Lan’s face went pale with fear.

"Brother!"

Gu Yanshen moved.

He didn’t waste a single motion.

As the two men reached the field’s edge, his tall figure flashed forward like lightning.

There were sounds of "crack" and "ouch" followed by cries of pain.

One man’s wrist was bent into an awkward angle, and the other was kicked in the knee, rolling on the ground in agony.

All of this happened in less than three seconds.

Too fast for the eye to catch.

Gu Yanshen stood at the edge of the field, his military boot pressing down on one of the subdued men’s backs, his cold gaze fixed on Liu Hong.

"Who dares to try anything?"

His voice wasn’t loud, yet it struck everyone’s heart like the icy grip of winter.

The scene fell silent.

Liu Hong trembled under his gaze, her face devoid of any color. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"You... you dare to hit people! Who are you?"

"The People’s Liberation Army."

Gu Yanshen uttered these three words, each weighing heavily.

At that moment, a bicycle wobbled over at an unprecedented speed.

Director Wang from the Revolutionary Committee fell off with his bike and scrambled over on all fours.

"Mr. Gu! Please show mercy, Mr. Gu!"

At a glance, he saw the man under Gu Yanshen’s foot and the other who was crying out, and he was scared out of his wits.

When he recognized Liu Hong standing to the side, his vision went dark.

"Liu Hong! What are you doing here!"

Liu Hong, seeing Director Wang, acted as if she had found a savior.

"Director Wang! You’re just in time! This soldier is abusing his power and injured my driver!"

Director Wang wished he could smack her.

He ignored Liu Hong, first rushed to Gu Yanshen, and bowed repeatedly.

"Mr. Gu, it’s all a misunderstanding!"

Then he abruptly turned, pointed at Liu Hong, and started cursing.

"Liu Hong! How dare a family member of a speculator and profiteer make a scene here?"

"Your husband was just investigated for reselling federally allocated fabric and sugar! And you think we don’t know you want to seize this farm to cover your family’s losses?"

Director Wang’s words exploded like thunder among the crowd.

Everyone stared at Liu Hong with a mixture of disdain and shock.

So, she’s a criminal’s wife! And still pretending to be righteous!

Liu Hong’s face turned from pale to a purplish hue, her lips quivering, unable to utter a single word.

Director Wang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and immediately put on a fawning smile, turning to Lin Wan Yi.

"Please don’t stoop to the level of people like her!"

He raised his hand high and announced loudly to all the villagers.

"Comrades! Don’t be deceived by these speculators and profiteers!"

"Comrade Lin Wan Yi uses the good seeds left by her mother to actively promote production. This is responding to the call and contributing to construction!"

"She is a role model that we all should learn from!"

While speaking, he pulled out a brand new, red-lettered certificate from his bag.

"Comrade Lin, on behalf of the Revolutionary Committee, I specially brought this for you!"

Director Wang unfolded the certificate with both hands and held it high above his head. The large gilded letters on it shimmered under the sunlight.

"Advanced Individual!"

He solemnly handed the certificate to Lin Wan Yi.

"This is a high acknowledgment of you! Anyone who dares to make trouble again will be opposing our Revolutionary Committee!"
