Second Uncle took two thousand yuan for medical expenses and distributed thousands to each of the injured people. The rest of the money was divided amongst the households according to the damage sustained to their acres of land.

When the numbers were tallied, each household had received quite a sum of money, which delighted everyone to no end.

Greg Jensen stood by and watched, joining in on their happiness with his own smile.

The Jensen Family had this one virtue—they stuck together, and each one of them was kind-hearted.

After playing the fool for so many years, not only did no one think of encroaching on his family’s land and house, but they frequently looked after him as well.

For this reason, Greg was happy to do whatever he could to make their lives a bit easier.

Mrs. Flail, as the Jensen Family’s widow, had her farmland nearby as well and this time she also received a good amount of money.

Having received the money, she cheerfully said, “Freya, come over to my place for dinner tonight? I’m going to buy two pounds of ribs.”

“Sure, but I need to stop by the village committee first.”

“Alright, you go ahead, I’ll go buy the groceries.”

Mrs. Flail glanced at Greg, eyed his strong physique, then left with a grin.

At that moment, Second Uncle came over and said, “Freya, you’re going to the village committee?”

“Yeah.”

Lindsey Wolfe looked worried. She felt that contracting the farmland was sure to cause trouble.

The Flails were greedy. If they found out that she wanted to start a vegetable base, they would definitely find a way to extort money from her.

This time, she would likely have to pay up.

“Greg, come with me.”

“Okay.”

Greg gave a simple laugh, mounted his tricycle, and took Lindsey Wolfe to the village committee.

“Silly Greg, taking your wife out for a spin, huh?”

“Your wife sure is a looker!”

The villagers chatting nearby couldn’t help but tease when they saw Greg with Lindsey Wolfe.

Lindsey Wolfe, sitting behind with a blank expression, retorted coldly, “You lot with your loose mouths better hurry back and keep an eye on your own men instead of gossiping here.”

“Freya, we’re just joking.”

“Exactly, you’re a big boss now, surely you can take a joke, right?”

Lindsey Wolfe snorted coldly and whispered, “Silly Greg, pedal faster. These gossiping women annoy me.”

“Alright…”

Greg responded and started pedaling with effort.

Before long, the two of them arrived at the village committee.

Aiden Clark was busy flirting with the village accountant when he saw Lindsey Wolfe and Greg arrive, a frown immediately forming on his brow: “What are you two here for?”

Seeing Aiden Clark, the usually feisty Lindsey Wolfe couldn’t help feeling a bit intimidated, “We… we want to contract some land.”

“Contract land?”

Aiden Clark looked as though he had heard a joke, his eyes widened in surprise at the two, then he burst into silent laughter:

“The two of you want to contract land? Can you even manage your own plot? I’ll tell you, you can contract the land, but if you can’t manage it, you’ll be fined.”

“We can manage it,” Lindsey Wolfe quickly said.

Aiden Clark had a cold, smug expression, impatiently saying, “Come on, I know your family’s situation. Get lost already, don’t waste my damn time here.”

Lindsey Wolfe, seeing his reaction, became frantic, “We’re not contracting the land for ourselves; we’re cooperating with a company to make a vegetable base.”

“A vegetable base?”

Aiden Clark was initially startled, then his eyes suddenly lit up, a greedy smile creeping across his lips.

He cleared his throat and said coolly, “In your case, you can contract the land, but since it’s an enterprise, the contracting fee has to be doubled.”

“Doubled? That’s… that’s too much.”

Lindsey Wolfe had not attended much school and was unsure if such a regulation existed, but Greg Jensen furrowed his brow at her side.

The cost of land contracting is generally fixed, with no distinction made between enterprises or individuals.

What Aiden Clark was doing was trying to gain some personal advantage.

“Not only does the land cost need to double, but the village must also hold a certain share in the enterprise, otherwise, it’s impossible for you to contract this land.”

“Shares as well?”

Lindsey Wolfe was stunned, panic flashing in her eyes; she had no idea what to do.

Greg Jensen’s face darkened, and he stepped aside to discreetly send a message to Aiden Clark, briefly explaining the situation.

Aiden Clark was overseeing the workers building a fence in the medicinal field when he checked his phone and his face immediately turned pale.

“Damn, Aiden really thinks he’s got nine lives to spare, huh!”

After finishing his thought, he drove his car hastily to the village committee.

In the village committee office, Lindsey Wolfe was still speaking kindly to Aiden Clark, trying to get him to relax the conditions.

But no matter what she said, Aiden Clark wouldn’t budge, causing Lindsey Wolfe to break out in a sweat from anxiety.

“You better go back and discuss it with the company you’re partnering with. If you’re not satisfied with our conditions, well, you can always check out other villages.”

Aiden Clark had a cold smile on his face, as if he had Lindsey Wolfe completely under his control.

There’s plenty of land in other villages, but his older brother was the local tyrant of the town; would any village chief tired of living dare to meddle in his affairs?

At that moment, Aiden Clark hurriedly walked in.

Aiden Clark was taken aback and said with a smile, “Big brother, what brings you here?”

“Step outside with me,” Aiden Clark replied, his face grim as he glanced at him before walking out.

“That’s enough, you two go back and talk it over. I’ve still got things to do here.”

Aiden Clark gave Lindsey Wolfe a cold look and walked out of the office to find Aiden Clark standing not far away.

With a grin, he said, “Big brother, your timing couldn’t be better, I just have some good news to tell you….”

Slap!

Aiden Clark landed a slap across his face with full force, nearly knocking Aiden Clark to the ground.

“Brother, why did you hit me…”

“Damn it, if you weren’t my blood brother, I’d kill you right now!”

Aiden Clark was completely baffled, and asked blankly, “What happened?”

“What happened? Did you or did you not block others from contracting land?”

“Yes, that did happen.”

When Aiden Clark brought up Lindsey Wolfe’s matter, Aiden Clark immediately showed a conspiratorial grin, “Brother, you don’t know.

Lindsey Wolfe must’ve had some crazy luck, a company wants to partner with her to develop a vegetable base.

Such a great opportunity, how could we brothers miss out? So, 1 plan to ask for some shares in their company…”

“What the hell!”

Slap!

Aiden Clark swung another slap in return.

Now, Aiden Clark was utterly dumbfounded; he didn’t realize what he had done wrong, but in just a couple of minutes, his brother had slapped him twice.

With his mind a complete blank from the slaps, he could only stare at Aiden Clark, too afraid even to speak.

Disappointed, Aiden Clark scolded him, “You, I’ve told you long ago not to stir up trouble in the village, but you just don’t listen!

I’m warning you, contract the land to Lindsey Wolfe right now, or I’ll freaking kill you!”
