Chapter 2528: Chapter 2528: Bad News Awaits Them

“Chief, please return my Que’er’s land deed to me. Que’er has already told me that he is willing to continue having everyone’s land registered under his name, so just give me the deed, please.”

“Get lost!”

The Chief was extremely angry, and seeing the faces of the An Family Members made him even more annoyed.

“I’m telling you all, these land deeds have already been processed at the county government, and from now on, the land has nothing to do with your family or An Que.

Old Woman An, if you dare to reach out and snatch it again, believe it or not, I’ll have you hauled in front of the officials, and you’ll be in deep trouble?!

Your grandson may be a scholar who doesn’t have to kneel before officials, but you and this whole family don’t have that status. If you dare to steal from me, do you think I’m just a pushover?

Even though I’m just a Chief, I have the means to send you all to jail!”

“No, Uncle, the Chief, my mother-in-law has lost her mind and meant no disrespect, mother-in-law, why have you come outside, hurry and get back into the courtyard, don’t stand outside making a spectacle of us.”

Auntie Mei hurried out to speak nicely upon hearing the Chief’s threat.

The Chief, even though ranked lower than a scholar, frequently deals with the officials at the county government, and has connections.

But as for scholars, there are numerous ones in a whole county. How many of them can the high officials truly know?

In fact, it’s not as effective as being a Chief.

“My land deed, my… um um.”

Old Lady An still wanted to pounce on the Chief to snatch back the land deed, but Auntie Mei and Second Elder An held onto her from either side and dragged her back into the courtyard.

“What are you all standing there for? Quick, close the courtyard gate, or are you waiting for others to laugh at our family?”

At Auntie Mei’s shout, Older An finally reacted and quickly went to shut the courtyard gate, still muddled by the whole affair.

Because he couldn’t believe it, how could the Chief have gone to the county for such a short time and already settled the land deed matters?

You know, handling affairs at the county government isn’t straightforward; they say the word ‘official’ has two mouths, and without benefits, they usually delay processing any citizen’s business.

And yet the Chief, this time, managed numerous land deeds at once, surely a complicated task, how could it be possibly resolved so swiftly?

As the gate closed, Second Elder An’s heart was filled with complexity.

Previously, his wife told him that their home was in trouble due to Prince An Yang’s retribution, and he didn’t believe it, but now he did.

Otherwise, how could the land deed issue be resolved so easily?

Back then, those land deeds were registered under An Que’s name after several days, requiring pooled Silver to bribe officials for completion.

This time, why was it so easy?

If there wasn’t something fishy, he wouldn’t believe it.

So, what his wife said was true, Prince An Yang was really retaliating against Que’er, and moving forward, more unfortunate events awaited their family, right?

“Mother, please stop causing trouble. Continuing like this won’t benefit anyone.” After coming to his senses, Second Elder An rarely scolded Old Lady An.

They still hadn’t found An Que yet, and when he returned, who knows what bad news would await them.
