Peter turned his eyes to Qin Li and asked, "What do you want?"
Qin Li did not like the old man's eyes, cold, like a snake, which made people feel uncomfortable. But don't like to not like, or have to humble, who let her have something to ask people.
Qin Li collected his mood and asked, "I would like to ask you to help me write a certificate."
Peter, "What proof?"
Qin Li, "Proof that the construction of the House complies with the Regulations."
Peter, "What do you need this certificate for?"
Qin Li was afraid that his evasive remarks would backfire, so he simply told the truth and said, "To apply for a business license and open a farm."
Who knows, she said this sentence, the surrounding immediately quiet down. Everyone stopped talking and turned their eyes to Qin Li. Their smiling faces darkened, and their eyes showed obvious hostility, as if they had seen a demon.
The change is too obvious to ignore. Qin Li saw himself become a target, not feel strange, secretly, I just want to open a farmhouse, but not to destroy the earth, one by one put on this look like a great enemy, as for it?
At that moment, a young man stood up from the crowd and said sharply, "I refuse to let our hometown become another Berchtesgaden! Since the Kings Lake was developed into a tourist attraction, the good peaks have been paired and cable cars built on them. Because of the lack of power supply, the wind turbine was installed on the mountain, which polluted the lake at the foot of the mountain and poisoned many fish. The local people protested every day and finally alerted the government to stop the project. "Although the residents received a compensation, what is the use of the money when the ecological environment is destroyed?"
His words quickly resonated, "Well, Mueller's right. There are also foreign tourists who make a loud noise all day long and often go to the doorsteps of local villagers to take photos, which seriously affects daily life."
These words really said to the hearts of the villagers, the crowd suddenly exploded like a pot, discussion one after another.
The young man named Muller pointed to Qin Li, full of malicious tunnel, "Look, now the city people come to wreak havoc."
Seeing this, Qin Li immediately defended himself, "No, you misunderstood, I am not to engage in development, I just..."
Muller first said, "Is not open farmhouse development?" Once the tour groups move in, it's never peaceful."
"Yes, city people, go away. You are not welcome."
"The last time the TV people came to camp, it already affected our lives! I don't know what it is to want to enjoy a farm now."
"No, we don't welcome tourists. We need a quiet life."
Everyone, one by one, spoke out against each other, and in a short time, they all pointed their dissatisfaction and resentment at Qin Li. She was the only foreigner here, and the only city person, so she suddenly became their class enemy.
Qin Li knew that the villagers here do not like lively, also prepared in advance, but did not expect the exclusion of the meaning is so naked.
The more the villagers talk, the more angry, the mood is high, difficult to control, I do not know who suddenly reached out and pushed Qin Li. If Yan Sen hadn't caught her with his eyes and hands, she stumbled and almost fell.
As a member of the village, in fact, Yan Sen is not willing to develop the farmhouse into a farmhouse, but he hopes that Qin Li can stay, as a condition of exchange, is half agreed. So, even as opposition mounted, he did not intervene.
But it would be wrong to do it.
He could see it clearly. It was Mueller's hand. Qin Li may not understand his hostility, but Yan Sen's heart is clear. Muller was Toby's associate, a member of the skinheads, who were particularly anti-foreigner. Mueller, in particular, has almost become an extremist.
Growing up in the same village, we have been playmates since childhood and know each other very well. Muller deliberately twisted Qin Li's meaning in this way, but wanted to drive her out of the village. This man is not a fuel-saving lamp, when he took advantage of his mountain grazing, and Janie adulterous, he is one of them.
Yan Sen pulled Qin Li behind him and warned in a less polite tone, "If a man has something to say, what is the hand of a woman?"
Mueller, seeing him come forward, immediately took aim at him, saying, "You also agree with her plan?"
Yan Sen did not respond immediately.
So, Muller added, "You are from our village, you should know our rules, you are now living with a stranger, we can't control." But..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Sen interrupted him and said, "The farmhouse is mine, and how it is used is not up to you."
Qin Li startled, did not expect he will stand on his side in public, the heart is not surprised and happy. You know how difficult it was to get this solitary man to agree to give up the farmhouse and accept strangers to live under his roof!
When Mueller caught him, he immediately said, "Listen, everybody, what is this saying?" Since we are villagers in the same village, we have the obligation to urge and help each other. You want to renovate the farmhouse, we have no right to ask, but now you want to develop tourism, turn the farm into a hotel, we can not get out of this. Is that right?"
Call for a hundred responses.
Muller looked at Yan Sen defiantly with a triumphant face.
However, Yan Sen did not pay any attention to him. As if he heard something funny, he laughed a few times, grabbed Mueller's clothes on his chest, pulled him to the front, and tested the tunnel, "Help each other, including sleeping with the other's wife, is it?"
Noisy around a moment, this ugly thing in addition to Qin Li, no one in the village knows.
The clamoring people suddenly became quiet, their eyes wandering on Yan Sen and Mueller, as if they could not decide which team should stand on.
Yan Sen has done the village a great service by herding his animals in the mountains every year, keeping the traditional culture alive. So to him, most people are feeling a mixture of guilt and gratitude.
Seeing his word, the crowd fell on him, and Muller, anxious and angry, broke away from his grasp and said, "You don't change the subject." Personal grievances are settled behind closed doors, and the future of the village is on the table. We insist on resisting the development of this site as a tourist attraction, so as not to destroy our hometown, are you right?"
Muller has a circle of his own, and they say birds of a feather flock together, and a skinhead's friends are mostly skinheads. They have to see Qin Li not like the eye, golden hair in a smear, OCD minutes attack. So, if emotions are stirred up now, stand up and support him.
Seeing everyone making a fuss, Pete finally came out, reached out and pulled down Mueller, indicating that he should not be too impulsive and calm down first.
Mueller still bought Pete, after all, the future may become his own father-in-law, with his group of evil friends temporarily withdrew to one side.
Peter narrowed his eyes, looked around, and finally stopped on Qin Li, "This village belongs to the ecological protection area, so the villagers are very resistant to the development of tourism." You don't know what's going on here, but you should know what people are feeling and thinking now, and I hope you will respect their wishes and stop stirring up trouble, or we'll have to kick you out."
When Peter said this, Muller immediately responded, "Yes, get this woman out of here. Foreigners are not welcome in our village."
As soon as he took the lead in Shouting, all the people immediately responded, and many people were like playing chicken blood, Shouting that Qin Li should be expelled from the village.
Qin Li has been a three-good child all his life, and it is the first time in his life that he has been driven away.
How can these country folk be so unreasonable?
The farmhouse is private property, the land is private property, it's not like you want to build a brothel or do something immoral. What is their motive for driving people away so often? The most ridiculous, even want to use public opinion to control the freedom of other people's behavior, this folk custom is too young a bit.
However, this is the 21st century, no matter how rural, but also the law. Surely the chairman of the village committee could not have allowed them to beat people up?
In this way, it is easier to do, she immediately went to the hospital to examine the injury, and will Sue them to court.
With this thought, Qin Li became more determined, stepped out from behind Yan Sen, and said, "This is a country that advocates human rights and freedom, and your constitution stipulates that you have the right to control your property and allow individuals to freely choose their place of residence as long as it does not violate laws and regulations." I do not open a factory to pollute, need a state permit, but just open a farm, which law stipulates that I can not open? Also, the land here belongs to the state, not to you, so who gives me the right to kick me out?"
Anyway, it has offended people, simply do not do two, she continued, "Peter, you are only the village committee, not the emperor." In a society governed by the rule of law, everything follows the law, and if we don't agree, we'll see it out in court."
What these rural people are most afraid of is to pull the law, because many of the provisions are set by the village committee itself, and once it goes up, it will only be banned. For example, the existence of this village committee is already controversial, and the town government has tried several times to cancel the autonomy of the village committee, but it has been pressured and delayed by Peter, the chairman.
If Qin Li really makes a big deal out of this matter and goes through the judicial process, the village committee will probably be cancelled, and everything in the village will be under the control of the town government of Berchtesgaden. And when that happens, the worst thing that's gonna happen is Pete the village chairman.
So he fell silent at once.
This woman is more difficult than he thought!
Pete doesn't talk because he's got a secret, but the others don't buy it.
The villagers said, "How can city people do this, always take the law as a shield?"
Muller glared at her, angrily. "What a fool!"
Of all the people, Qin Li hates this little boy the most and wants to throw her out. Who does he think he is?
With a straight face, Qin Li coldly said to him, "You are the one who does not know the height of heaven." From now on, I don't talk about custom, I talk about law. If you try to send me away, I'll get my lawyers to take you all to court tomorrow."
Since there was no agreement, there was nothing to say. Qin Li pulled Yan Sen and said, "Let's go."
Sitting in the car, Qin Li felt more and more depressed, patting his thigh and saying, "I still don't believe it, without this letter of proof, I can't apply for a business license."
Seeing that he did not speak, Qin Li turned to look at him and asked, "Why are you not speaking, what are you thinking?"
Yan Sen, "Thinking about how tough you were just now, it was pretty cute."
Qin Li, "...
"Actually, I was a little scared just now."
Yan Sen shook his head, "I don't see. She looks like a woman farmer."
Qin Li heard a little cry and laugh, this is praise or ridicule?
"This old Pete is not just the chairman of the village committee, but he is so arrogant!" Sure enough, he's Janie's father, first class in provocations, one word provokes public anger, wants to throw me out. Fie, here I am, and no one can get rid of me unless I go myself. And who's that golden retriever? This guy is not a skinhead, he doesn't like me, so he is going after me everywhere."
Qin Li was just a casual sentence, did not expect Yan Sen also really nodded, said, "His name is Mueller, is Toby's friend."
Qin Li, "So he wants to kick me out and avenge Toby?"
Yan Sen said, "He's courting Janie."
Qin Li snorted, "Then he should be targeting you."
Yan Sen said, "It's not rational to fight with Peter, after all, you still need his proof."
Qin Li, however, did not regret it at all and retorted, "Don't you see that this person is expressing personal hatred?" Your village is full of strange things."
Smell speech, Yan Sen burst into a smile, think this description is very appropriate, indeed are rare strange flowers.
Qin Li was not in the mood to joke, pulled his mouth, and said, "Forget it, we still say serious." If there is no certificate issued by the village committee, is there any other way to apply for a business license?"
Yan Sen shook his head, "No."
Qin Li was suddenly discouraged and cried, "But it is imperative for me to open a farmhouse."
Yan Sen said, "There is another way."
Qin Li, "What?"
Yan Sen, "Peter abdicates and a more open-minded person becomes the chairman of the village committee."
Qin Li, "Then how can we ask him to step down?"
Yan Sen, "If he doesn't make a big mistake, he has to give up when he gets old."
Qin Li looked disappointed, "equal to not say."
Yan Sen, "You didn't listen to me carefully, I mean, without making a mistake."
Qin Li asked, "What mistake will he make?"
Yan Sen, "such as falsifying accounts and embezzling public funds."
Qin Li's eyes lit up, "Do you know anything inside?" Yes, he was your father-in-law."
Yan Sen said, "I can show you a way, but you have to do it yourself."
Qin Li, "What road?"
Yan Sen said, "Report to the tax bureau that there is accounting fraud in the village committee's fund."
Qin Li, "Ah, this ruthless! If something goes wrong, will he go to jail?"
Yan Sen shook his head, "He has problems, but not enough to go to prison, can only force him to give up."
This way is feasible, Qin Li in the mind to calculate, after having a plan, said, "I thought you do not support me to open the farmhouse."
"I just don't like strangers in my house, but it's a small sacrifice I'm willing to make if it means you can stay with me."
This is probably the sweetest words Qin Li has ever heard, although from the mouth of this upright man, a little contrary, a little awkward, but still very useful.
Qin Li hugged him and said, "Thank you, Yan Sen."
Her arrival changed his dull and boring life, let him live under the sun every day, so the person who should thank him should be him!
