Chapter 23 - Rebirth

Zhang Yitian was overjoyed. He had actually saved his mother, this kind of feeling of accomplishment was not something that could be compared to defeating those hoodlums.

"Son, what happened to me just now?" Li Xiaoling obviously did not know what had happened. Just now, she had already fallen into a deep coma and her consciousness was no longer clear.

Zhang Yitian laughed and said that she had fainted from anger.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. There were some words that did not need to be said.

Just then, Lin Muru's car had already stopped in front of the door, and she ran out of the car in a panic.

But seeing that the mother and son were indeed laughing and talking, Lin Muru opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "This … Zhang Yitian, what's going on... "

Zhang Yitian chuckled and said: "It's fine, it's just that my mother was in a hurry. I used the method passed down by the ancestors to treat her heart, and everything will be alright."

Lin Muru could not believe what Zhang Yitian was saying, he was just a small peasant in the village, how could he have that kind of ability?

She had seen patients with heart disease before, and because she didn't get treatment in time, she immediately thought of the hospital.

"Are you for real?" Lin Muru frowned, "If you really have that capability, then wouldn't those old experts in the Central District Academy have been laid off?"

Lin Muru would rather believe that Li Xiaoling had woken up herself than believe that Zhang Yitian had used some sort of method to save his mother.

Just at this moment, Aunt Pang suddenly walked in in in a fluster. She took a few breaths and said hurriedly, "No …. Oh no, Yutian, your family... Something happened to your orchard. "

In Zhang Yitian's home, other than the vegetables and the fields that his uncle had taken over, there was also a thousand small orchards. That place was originally a mobile land in the village, and when Zhang Yitian's father was alive, he signed a contract with the village.

It had originally been a barren slope, but in the short span of three years, it had become the most flourishing orchard in the entire village in the hands of Zhang Yitian's father.

Moreover, his father had personally planted every single fruit tree there. For Zhang Yitian, this had a special meaning.

Hearing that something had happened to the orchard, Zhang Yitian immediately tensed up, and hastily asked: "What happened, Aunt Fatty?"

Aunt Pang took a few deep breaths and said, "Your orchard … I don't know... Somehow the fruit trees are dying, and. And Sun Erlong even threatened to shovel your family's fruit tree! "

Zhang Yitian immediately frowned when he heard this, because Sun Erlong's identity was special. He was the nephew of the previous Village Chief Wang Fugui, and relying on his relationship with his uncle, he could be said to have the same attitude in the Shanghe Village.

So when Zhang Yitian heard that Sun Erlong was mixed in, he knew that things would definitely not be as simple as he thought. Furthermore, his own orchard was still in its prime, how could a normal fruit tree die from that?

Zhang Yitian turned around and comforted his mother, "Mom, don't worry. It's fine.

Li Xiaoling looked worriedly at his son and said: "Son, do not be impulsive when doing things, as long as you have reason, we are not afraid of anything."

Zhang Yitian nodded his head, and said to Lin Muru who was at the side: "Director Lin, I reckon that you will have to come with me now, because things are not that simple."

Although Lin Muru did not know what was going on, but since Zhang Yitian had said so, she might as well follow and take a look. After all, she still wanted to be the village chief, she did not want to lose face for her father.

When they arrived at the orchard, they found that almost half of the villagers had gathered here, with two excavators parked nearby.

He was Sun Erlong, and these two excavators belonged to his house. Because his uncle was originally the village director, all the large and small projects in the village required him to use his machines.

This was precisely the reason why this fellow had already bought a house in the city before even reaching thirty years of age.

Sun Erlong instructed the two driver of the excavator. Then, he indicated for them to start work.

Sun Erlong's intentions were clear. He planned to use his two Iron Tigers to shovel Zhang Yitian's fruit tree.

"What are all of you doing!?" Zhang Yitian hastily stood in front of the excavator and the orchard, pointed at Sun Erlong and asked, "Surnamed Sun, why are you driving your machine to my orchard?"

Seeing Zhang Yitian suddenly come out from the crowd, not only did Sun Erlong not feel any surprise, he was actually quite proud of himself.

He jumped down from the excavator and said to Zhang Yitian with a coy smile on his face: "Hey Zhang Yitian, haven't you seen that your family's fruit trees have all died? Today, second brother has been kind and helped you shovel these firewood. "

"Come on, I'm just dating someone from the countryside, how could I not know you?" Zhang Yitian said in a different tone, "Today you dug up my Zhang Family's fruit tree, maybe tomorrow your Sun Family's fruit tree will grow out of the orchard!"

Zhang Yitian warned Sun Erlong in the end, "Sun Erlong, let me tell you, this place was originally a barren slope that not a single person would care about. Let me tell you, when my dad was alive, he signed a contract with the village.

Zhang Yitian's words made all the spectators feel that it was reasonable, but everyone knew that Sun Erlong was not a reasonable person to argue with, so when some people heard Zhang Yitian's words, they couldn't help but burst out in ridicule.

Sun Erlong taunted even more, "Congratulations boy, your answer is f * cking correct. I have my eyes on this orchard, and I was even thinking of developing it."

"As for your so-called contract, hmph …" Sun Erlong revealed an evil smile, "That was signed by your dead father and my uncle. If your father died, the contract would no longer be valid!"

"How is this possible?" Lin Muru finally could not take it anymore, "I say, do you have any common sense about the law? Do you know what a right of inheritance is? Even if his father passed away, the contract in the orchard can still be inherited by Zhang Yitian. "

"Ouch!" "Where did this little girl come from?" Sun Erlong sized Lin Muru up from head to toe, and laughed obscenely: Where are you from? Would you mind accompanying second brother for a drink at noon? "

"Please show some respect, I am the new village chief of Shanghe Village," Lin Muru said righteously, "I can prove that in this land, Zhang Yitian has rights to the land!"

Upon hearing that the person who came was the village chief, Sun Erlong's face immediately turned ugly. It was this woman who squeezed her own mother from her position as village chief, making him wish he could skin Lin Muru alive.

"Besides, I feel good about myself …" Sun Erlong said: "Since you are the new chairman, then you must pay attention to the rules, I will let you see the contract in my hands!"

Sun Erlong took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over to Lin Muru.

This was a contract, one that Sun Erlong and Shanghe Village had signed with regards to this orchard, and the signature was from the former village director, Wang Fugui.

It was obvious that this was a trap set up by Wang Fugui and Sun Erlong. Wang Fugui knew that he could no longer hold onto his position as the village chief, and before he left the stage, he actually gave Zhang Yitian this position to his nephew.

And the date of signing the contract was yesterday, Wang Fugui had really calculated it well!

"How is this possible? You are illegal! " Lin Muru bit her lips and said, "Zhang Yitian's contract has not expired, you guys are acting illegally!"

"Hehe, then I won't be able to control it!" Sun Erlong took a few steps closer to Zhang Yitian, almost reaching right in front of him, he said arrogantly: "Today, what am I going to do?"

"What's more!" Sun Erlong suddenly shouted, "When you, your dead father, signed the contract, he said that he would cultivate the orchard there. Now that the fruit tree is dead, the contract will naturally be terminated!"

Sun Erlong acted as if he was the boss of the heavens, as he was the number two. He had been planning for a long time for today.

Zhang Yitian laughed bitterly, thinking to himself, so that's how it is, so that guy had been planning all this while. Presumably, the sudden death of the fruit tree was also caused by him spitting medicine on purpose.

Sun Erlong was extremely pleased with himself at the moment. Yesterday, he had found someone to spray him with poisonous pesticides, and if he sprayed that medicine, he would probably die overnight, let alone a few fruit trees.

"There's no other way now!" Sun Erlong provoked, "Unless you can revive this fruit tree, otherwise, I will raze this entire orchard to the ground!"

When all the onlookers heard this, they all shook their heads because there was no hope left for the fruit tree. The tree bark cracked and the leaves withered and yellow. Even the green fruit on the tree had become dry.

Lin Muru also sighed. Looking at the situation, even a national level expert in forestry would not be able to deal with such a situation.

"Alright, the one with surname Sun, how about we have a bet?" The corner of Zhang Yitian's mouth unexpectedly revealed a smile, "If I can cure my garden full of fruit trees today, then you can leave from where you came. If I can't cure you, then I'll give this orchard to you!"

Once Zhang Yitian finished, the crowd immediately let out a burst of sighs, as though everyone felt that Zhang Yitian was just bragging.

"I've seen people bragging, but I've never seen anyone bragging like that..."

"Haha, did this kid just sell dishes for two days and then lose consciousness?"

"..."

The crowd immediately became noisy, as almost everyone was laughing at Zhang Yitian, because no one felt that a person who sold vegetables could do something like bringing someone back to life.

Even Lin Muru pulled on Zhang Yitian's sleeves awkwardly and whispered: "Have you become an idiot? "You dare to gamble like this, are you really not afraid of losing this orchard?"

Seeing the performance of the people around him, Sun Erlong could not help but burst out laughing, thinking that this Zhang Yitian was actually helping him.

Sun Erlong was an idiot to not accept this kind of bet. He agreed immediately: "Good boy, I accept this bet!"

Zhang Yitian smiled, then turned to look at his fellow villagers who were watching the show: "Everyone heard it right? I hope that everyone can be my witness, or else someone will go back on their words!"

As the saying went, those who watched the scene never felt that the matter was too big, and the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.

Sun Erlong was even more pleased with himself. He knew that the poison of the pesticide he had bought was extremely toxic, so he was naturally filled with confidence.

Zhang Yitian let out a breath, turned and walked into the orchard, his lonely back looked a little sad in Lin Muru's eyes.

Although it had only been a day since she had arrived in Shanghe Village, what she saw was practically everyone bullying this young man, be it her biological uncle or the relatives of the previous village head.

Every one of them treated him viciously and cruelly, but he seemed to always be fighting alone, and didn't show any signs of yielding. Lin Muru couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill in her heart.
