Looking at the people who came in, Lin Mengya had some estimation in her heart.
She chose her own path.
Whether it was the end of the road or the light at the end of the tunnel, it all depended on whether she dared to take that step.
There were more and more people in the room.
But everyone who came in had a heavy expression as if they were going to die in the next second.
Long Tianhao only looked up at them and then continued to peel melon seeds for his wife.
The heavy and serious atmosphere was destroyed by a strange cracking sound at the moment.
"Eat less. These melon seeds are stir-fried, it's easy to get hot."
He pushed a small plate of melon seeds to his wife.
He showed a gentle and doting smile to his wife as if there was no one else around.
Lin Mengya was also generous.
She reached out and poured the melon seeds in the small plate directly into her mouth.
She didn't even look at them, calmly treating them as if they were nothing.
Seeing this, the group of people next to them showed very complicated expressions.
What was this little girl's intention?
Could it be that she wanted to put pressure on them so that she could take more initiative and exploit them?
Suddenly, the atmosphere here became more tense.
Even in the hearts of several people, there was a rather tragic idea.
For a moment, the big shots in the past fell into a gloomy cloud.
"Why do I feel that they seem a little too nervous?"
Chewing the fragrant melon seeds, Lin Mengya pulled her husband and asked calmly.
Long Tianhao didn't look at her, "I'm old, so I naturally like to make a fuss. Do you want some chestnuts?"
Lin Mengya was eating happily and nodded happily.
But she didn't see that the faces of the big shots over there became even more gloomy.
It was over. The couple must be discussing how to exploit them. Maybe they would have to lose all the money they had saved for several generations this time.
Finally, the last person had to step into the room.
Looking at the group of uncles, Lin Mengya couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"It seems that everyone has thought it through!"
Everyone couldn't help but tremble. They had already made up their minds.
Compared with the danger of being exterminated, it was nothing to lose a little money.
"Yes, but girl, we also need some protection."
Jiang Yishui, who had a good relationship with her, was pushed out as a representative to negotiate with her.
Lin Mengya nodded.
"Of course. Sincerity is the foundation of our cooperation. I've already prepared a few contracts. Here are two copies, each specifying our rights and obligations. Everyone, please take a look. If you don't have any objections, please sign at the back and put your fingerprints on it. "
Smiling, she took out a stack of paper from the table and distributed it to the elders.
At first, everyone's faces were a little tense, thinking that she wanted them to indenture themselves.
But the more he looked, the bigger his eyes became, the more astonished he felt.
"This, this is …"
Jiang Yishui felt that he was dreaming.
He had originally thought that the contract would be filled with unequal terms that were disadvantageous to him. However, he did not expect that although each of the terms seemed harsh, when he thought about it carefully, they were all beneficial to him and his family.
This was completely illogical!
After all, she held the fate of her entire clan in her hands.
He could only take whatever he wanted without being able to resist.
He glanced at the contract in the hands of the person next to him.
It was exactly the same!
"That's right. Is there a mistake?"
"Young lady, are you making fun of us?"
In the face of the doubts of the crowd, Long Tianhao glanced at them indifferently.
"My lady is not a villain who secretly blackmails people for favors."
Suddenly, everyone was silent for a moment.
Although the presence of the man just now could not be ignored, when he spoke, he made people involuntarily feel a sense of oppression, so they had to suppress their doubts in their hearts.
Long Tianhao did not have time to care about them. He handed his lady a cup of tea.
"Drink it first."
Lin Mengya swallowed a big mouthful of tea to moisten her throat, and then picked up her contract.
"The contract in your hands is indeed real."
She first confirmed the authenticity of the contract, and then, under the increasingly puzzled gaze of the crowd, she continued.
"I know you have doubts in your hearts, but I just want to ask you one thing. Even if I save your children and grandchildren, will you be willing to let your families stay here for the rest of your lives? "
Her words could be considered to have opened a scar in the hearts of the people present.
The group of people that Elder Zhao had chosen had outstanding abilities and were brimming with talent when they were young.
But because their families were not prominent enough, or because they hesitated to be suppressed by other big families, they were depressed and unwilling to give up.
"Uncle Jiang, if you had enough power back then, would you not let Aunt Jiang suffer?"
In an instant, Jiang Yishui clenched his fists, and even the veins on his forehead were popping out.
His lady was born in a big family.
Although she was not valued, because of her beauty, she was very favored by the family. But the result of being valued was to "contribute" to the prosperity of the family at the right time.
They were childhood sweethearts and fell in love with each other.
Unexpectedly, when his lady was 15 years old, her family actually gave her as a "gift" to another big family in order to obtain more resources.
Not a wife or concubine, but just a plaything for people to play with.
God knew how much he wanted to kill the beasts of the two families when he saw his sweetheart again.
Unfortunately, he also had his own family, and he had his own choice.
Under his lady's pleading, he could only use a large sum of money and resources to buy his lady out.
But the harm that his lady suffered, although he was extremely distressed, he could not get it back.
He was also injured because of this, and was left with a whole body of problems.
These past events, were like sharp thorns in his heart.
Just the mention of it could hurt him to the point that he was dripping with blood and in so much pain that he wanted to die.
But who among them had never experienced something like this before?
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Yishui's face darkened, and for the first time, he showed his sharpness and sharpness to Lin Mengya.
"Don't be angry, I don't mean to humiliate you with these things. I just feel that everyone has a life, why can some people use their family's power to do whatever they want, and trample on others for fun? "
She looked at the crowd, her eyes filled with firm conviction.
"In my opinion, everyone should be born equal. Everyone's background should not be the standard to measure a person. If you're strong, you should get what you deserve. Not to make a wedding dress for others, and in the end, you can only pick up some leftovers, and become a beggar in the eyes of the big families. "
Some words, made everyone's face change.
Slightly.
It had to be said that they had been suppressed for too long.
So long that even on the day of their death, perhaps they would not be willing to die in peace.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, they were already considered lucky to not have to worry about food and drink.
But who knew that in the eyes of the big families, they were just dogs, a useful tool.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Vaguely, there was some kind of turbulent emotion surging in everyone's chest.
Seeing that the emotion was almost stirred up, Lin Mengya pointed at the contract in her hand and said.
"And this, is the opportunity I am giving you."
"As long as you sign this contract, according to the conditions, I can let your next generation be completely free from the control of the aboriginals."
"The sky is high, the sea is wide, and your clansmen can realize their own value at will. At that time, no one will be able to trample on you! "
Her every word was filled with temptation that they couldn't refuse.
And the contract in their hands seemed to become heavier.
But in everyone's eyes, there was only excitement.
She heard someone gulp and swallow a big mouthful of saliva.
As the leader of a clan, of course, she knew how rare this opportunity to save her entire clan was.
"Lass, I only want to ask you one thing. Can you do what I've just said? If you can do it, I am willing to bet with you! "
Jiang Yishui was determined.
Maybe it was the inhumane torture that his wife had suffered, or maybe it was his years of self-blame and frustration that made him have such a crazy idea.
If he had enough power, then he could avenge his wife.
He could send all those who had hurt his wife to hell and let them taste the feeling of living a life worse than death.
This temptation was too great, and it even made him temporarily lose his rationality.
No one around came out to stop him.
At this moment, they were as excited as Jiang Yishui.
"It is written in black and white. As long as you sign this contract, I can guarantee that I can do it."
Lin Mengya said with a smile.
Although the things on it seemed a bit ridiculous to them, it was not that difficult for her, who had a lot of resources.
She had enough land, enough money, and enough education resources to let these people's clans be reborn.
"But those big families and the Elders Council will not let us have the chance to reach the heavens in a single bound so easily."
Elder Zhao finally spoke.
Actually, before this, he did not know the contents of the contract, nor did he know that Lin Mengya had such ambition and ability.
"Birds fly in the vast sky, fish swim in the vast sea. How can a puny Ancient race stop your footsteps? "
She had a confident smile on her face.
Only then did everyone react, and their faces were filled with disbelief.
"You mean you want us to leave this place?" Elder Zhao frowned and asked.
Lin Mengya nodded.
"Actually, everyone is very clear that the ancient clan is at the end of its tether. There are more and more people, but the resources and land are getting less and less. And those rich lands are being occupied by those big clans. No matter how hard we work, we are just receiving charity from others.
Why don't we let go of all this and go out and turn the world upside down! "
Unexpectedly, no one present was as confident as she was.
