chapter 1589


    "Why don''t you sign itter? This is our root, and our generations were, and are, raised here. We can’t


    give up our roots for instant benefits." "Right! I heard the living expenses are high in the city, that even


    a drop of water costs money. You won''t have your ownnd if you go out to the city. Even vegetables


    cost money. How are you going to earn money?" "They say there are all kinds of other costs. If your


    son is going to school, the fees are way higher out there! Without an ie, how would you support


    your family?"


    Hearing these, everyone else chimed in, agreeing.


    "That''s right. Don''t sign it! The vige is the best!" "Don''t be tempted by instant benefits! They''ll dig out


    your ancestors'' graveyards! You’ll end up crying!" "Yes, don''t sign it!"


    The young men who were initially confident saw the tides changing and looked at the vige head


    angrily. "Just let her sell it if she wants to, you old hag! It’s not like she''s selling yournd! It''s none of


    your business!"


    With that said, a few vigers who wanted to sell their homes jumped in, sneering.


    "I know, right? We spent our own money buying this house, and it’s none of your business who we


    want to sell it to!" "You’re getting older and sillier! You not wanting to move out doesn’t mean that we


    don''t want to move out!" "What a busybody! Just mind your own business!"


    The vige head felt wronged hearing those words, but she did not argue with them as she instead


    turned to say to the young men, "Leave us alone, and don''t show up in our vige again! We don''t


    wee you people here!


    I won’t let anyone sign anything!"


    The young men looked at her mockingly. "Don''t be so selfish, you old thing.


    You not wanting to sell doesn''t mean others don''t want to sell, too!"


    The vige head scoffed and said, "Yes, call me selfish if you want! As long as I''m around, nobody


    signs anything! Want a yes? Over my dead body!" 1


    Although she was aged, her back was straight. She stood before the table and did not let anyone get


    close.


    The rest of the vigers did not want to sell either. They did not want to lose thend they grew up in.


    They supported the vige head.


    "Yes! We’re not signing! We’re not selling!" "If you want ournd, well, over our dead bodies!"


    The few of them stood in onend with determination.


    This was the first time they had seen the vige head so infuriated and determined. They dared not go


    on to sign it.


    The young men saw their stance, and they were enraged.

    Curse that old hag! How stubborn! They might break into a fight at this rate, and it would get worse!


    Not daring to escte the situation, the men could only pack up and leave. They had to report to their


    head.


    Before they left, they angrily warned, "Don''t be too happy. We''ll be back!"


    The vige head looked aged, but there was fire in her tone. "Come again, and I still won''t let anyone


    sign with you!"


    The leading man scoffed. "We’ll see about that!"


    He had not received the direct order from the head. Once he had it, even if this old woman did not


    agree, they would use force to get it!


    The young men chewed gum as they haughtily cocked their heads and left arrogantly.


    The vige head only let out a sigh when she saw their minivan leaving.


    No matter how the others judged her, she still had that peaceful look on her face.


    Charmine came back with Chris after the morning run. Seeing so many people criticizing her, she


    walked over.


    When she saw how worried the vige head, the olddy, looked, she asked, "Grandma, have you


    eaten?"


    The vige head squinted and softly sighed. "I almost forgot! I haven''t made breakfast for Chloe."
