Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Liang Yuanchao's words made Li Xiulan so angry that her whole body trembled involuntarily.

She knew Liang Yuanchao was doing this because she disagreed with the demolition plan, deliberately using this tactic.

But she could not refute him.

Because that lease contract was indeed signed by Niu Chunsheng and the village committee, and she and the village committee had never signed any contract.

The village committee taking it back was indeed possible.

"Xiulan, don't blame me; I'm just following the rules."

Liang Yuanchao looked very easy to talk to.

Then he put on a pretense and said:

"I know it's not easy for you, but you must understand the village committee's difficulties, understand our village cadres' difficulties. Taking back this shop is not my decision alone, but the whole village committee's decision. How about this: you sign the demolition agreement. As long as you agree to the demolition plan, I'll speak up for you when I go back, maybe I can persuade the whole village committee to agree to keep renting the convenience store to you."

Li Xiulan knew this was a trick Liang Yuanchao was using, with the aim of forcing her to agree to the demolition.

However, Li Xiulan was very stubborn!

Being treated like this, she simply couldn't swallow her anger!

Wasn't Liang Yuanchao just trying to make her give in?

She just wouldn't give in!

So she said:

"Even if you take back the convenience store, I still won't agree to the demolition! I still say the same thing: money first, then signing!"

Liang Yuanchao immediately looked surprised, so angry he almost flew into a rage on the spot.

"Li Xiulan, why are you so stubborn! We're not refusing to give you demolition compensation! Can't you be flexible at all! How do you want us to give you money first? The government side needs to see the contract before funds can be released. Do you understand or not!"

Li Xiulan coldly said:

"I have no education, I don't understand, I only know one stubborn rule: give me the money first, then I'll demolish for you!"

Liang Yuanchao laughed in anger:

"You don't trust me, and you don't trust the government either! After signing the contract, are you still afraid we won't give you money?"

Li Xiulan didn't want to waste words with Liang Yuanchao. She had been deceived by Liang Yuanchao once and would absolutely not be deceived by him a second time.

"Are you done talking? If you're done, leave. Don't affect my business!"

Liang Yuanchao gritted his teeth:

"Since you're so unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous. I give you three days. You must empty this convenience store. After three days, I'll come take the shop!"

After saying this, Liang Yuanchao left in a huff.

Cursing nonstop under his breath:

"Damn, truly unreasonable! Stinking shrew! Rotten woman!"

Li Xiulan heard Liang Yuanchao's cursing clearly in her ears, but she remained expressionless and indifferent.

That very evening, she started moving the shop.

After staying up all night, she moved everything in the convenience store back to her own home!

Including shelves, freezers, and other large items!

By early the next morning, the children passing the village entrance on their way to school were surprised to find the village entrance convenience store's gate tightly closed, with a handwritten sign at the door:

This store has moved to my home. Welcome to buy things at my home!

Quite a few greedy little children actually went to Li Xiulan's home to buy things.

They stepped into Li Xiulan's courtyard and saw that the originally narrow living room was piled with all kinds of goods, a mess of disorder and clutter.

Li Xiulan smiled and greeted the customers who came to buy things.

Today was the first day after the move, and business was not bad!

This made her feel that even if her convenience store wasn't open at the village entrance, she could still live well!

But she didn't realize it was because Shanggou Village only had her one convenience store.

The villagers had no other choice, so they came all the way to her home to buy things.

If a second convenience store appeared in the village, the situation would be different.

Liang Yuanchao came to the village entrance and found Li Xiulan had moved the shop away in one night, and couldn't help but show a bitter smile.

"This woman, she's really more stubborn than a stubborn donkey!"

At the same time, he looked worried and troubled, with a huge headache.

If Li Xiulan kept opposing him like this, how could his work proceed?

Now he felt a bit regretful. He shouldn't have deceived Li Xiulan over those ten mu of cassava field in the first place.

Just because of this small trivial matter, it led to the current increasingly stiff situation.

Just then.

A young woman walked up.

"Village Secretary, why isn't this convenience store open anymore?"

It was the young woman Li Yunxia of Shanggou Village.

Li Yunxia was only twenty years old this year, beautiful and spirited, the new village beauty of the new generation, and she was still unmarried.

"Li Xiulan moved back home to open her shop."

Liang Yuanchao spoke truthfully.

Li Yunxia then asked:

"Has this shop been rented out?"

Liang Yuanchao gave a wry chuckle:

"Not yet. Why, do you want to rent it?"

Liang Yuanchao never expected Li Xiulan to be this stubborn; he was still waiting for her to come soften toward him, but never imagined Li Xiulan would move the convenience store overnight.

So now renting out this convenience store had also become a problem he needed to solve.

"I do, just don't know how much money?"

Li Yunxia spoke truthfully.

She knew this was an opportunity.

In the whole Shanggou Village, this location is the best.

Opening a shop here is definitely a sure profit!

She really couldn't understand why Li Xiulan would suddenly move away!

Business was originally so good!

"If you want to rent, one thousand two hundred yuan annual rent for you!"

Liang Yuanchao knew this shop had a good location, running a convenience store was a sure profit, so he raised the rent by two hundred yuan.

Li Yunxia only thought slightly, then agreed readily:

"Deal! Then I'll rent it!"

Thus, this shop was rented to Li Yunxia just like that!

The lease contract was signed that very day!

This time Liang Yuanchao learned from experience, no longer signing a ten-year contract all at once, but requiring Li Yunxia to sign year by year, so that later raising rent would be justified.

After Li Yunxia rented this convenience store, she immediately went to Town to restock.

She didn't really renovate, just bought a simple shelf, then arranged goods and opened for business.

Because she occupied the Village Entrance's natural geographical advantage, her business was extremely booming right from opening!

This made Li Yunxia overjoyed!

She picked up a huge bargain! From now on there will be good days!

And on Li Xiulan's side, because of the Village Entrance Convenience Store's opening, she suddenly discovered that people coming to buy things at her place had suddenly decreased a lot.

Deserted entrance, not a soul in sight!

She was very depressed about this, but could only comfort herself in her heart.

Now opening a store at her own home, no shop rent, as long as she can sell things, it's a sure profit!

So no need to panic, others open their stores, she opens her own store, doing well herself is enough!

Because of this matter, she and Liang Yuanchao counted as thoroughly becoming enemies.

Liang Yuanchao wanting to persuade her to sign the demolition agreement, that was even more impossible!

Even if she dies, she won't agree!

She'll just drag it out with Liang Yuanchao like this, she wants to see whether Liang Yuanchao can outlast her, or she can outlast him!
