### Chapter 1: The Dilemma of Spring Ploughing
As the spring breeze warms up and everything recovers, the fields in Shuangsheng Village, Jianhua Town, Kailu County, Inner Mongolia should be a busy scene. However, as spring came to an end, villager Lao Zhang's mood was as if he had been pierced by the cold wind, anxious and uneasy. He stood on that vast piece of land, looking at the 4,500 acres of cultivated land that had not yet been sown, and his heart was burning.
This land is a saline-alkali land contracted by Lao Zhang more than 20 years ago at a low price. At that time, it was a barren place, and there was no grass, but he did not give up. After years of unremitting hard work, the former barren land has become fertile and fertile land, but now he is facing an unprecedented problem - the village asks him to pay the contract fee.
"How is this possible!" Lao Zhang's heart was full of doubts and anger. His contract was still in effect, and when it was signed, both parties were willing, and the price was set according to the saline-alkali land at that time. Now, just because the land has become fertile land, does everything have to be recalculated?
The attitude of the village was very resolute: "Either pay the money or terminate the contract." This put Lao Zhang in a dilemma.
### Chapter 2: The Birth of a Good Field
Back more than 20 years ago, Lao Zhang was an ordinary farmer full of longing and hope for life. When he learned that there was a piece of saline land in the village that no one wanted to take over, he resolutely signed the contract. Although his family and friends didn't understand it and thought it was a loss-making deal, Lao Zhang had a different insistence.
"The land here will change our lives. Lao Zhang always said that.
In the days that followed, Lao Zhang cared for the land like his own child. He introduced organic soil to improve soil quality, constantly experimented with organic fertilizers, and even ploughed the land himself. Day after day, year after year, the once barren land finally changed, and not only began to produce grain, but also increased production year by year.
All these changes were recorded in Lao Zhang's eyes and in the mouths of the villagers. They witnessed the birth of a miracle and witnessed Lao Zhang's hard work.
However, when the spring breeze blows through the land again, bringing the joy of a bountiful harvest, it also brings unexpected challenges. The village suddenly offered to reassess the value of the land and asked Lao Zhang to pay the contract fee. This news was like a bolt from the blue for Lao Zhang, which made him unbelievable.
### Chapter 3: Relentless Rejection
On a bright spring day, Lao Zhang brought farm tools and seeds to prepare for the annual spring ploughing. However, his footsteps were blocked by several people sent from the village. They coldly told him that he would not be allowed to cultivate the land without paying a back contract.
"This is my land! I have the right to grow crops on it!" argued Lao Zhang angrily.
"It's a collective decision, if you don't want to pay, don't do anything else!" one of them replied forcefully.
Lao Zhang tried to explain, tried to make them understand his distress, but the other party was obviously unwilling to listen. One of them even threatened, "Find 200 people to stop you!"
Such a scene caused a sensation in the village. Some villagers who sympathized with Lao Zhang gathered and talked about it. They looked at Lao Zhang's anxious back, and they couldn't help but have many questions in their hearts: Why did the good people have to pay the contract fee? Why did the village be so ruthless?
Lao Zhang felt more isolated than ever. He knew that if he missed the spring planting, the year's harvest would be lost, and his family and livelihood would be affected. But he also knows that his own power is limited.
### Chapter 4: The Arrogance of Officials
Just when Lao Zhang was almost desperate, a deputy secretary of the town arrived at the scene with a group of people. The deputy secretary was a middle-aged man, with a burly figure and a stern face. He looked around, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"You are robbing the collective property!" the deputy secretary's voice was high-pitched and accusatory.
Lao Zhang stepped forward and tried his best to keep calm: "Secretary, I have legally contracted these lands, and the contract has not expired, and I have the right to farm." ”
"Contract?" the deputy secretary sneered, "Don't talk to me about the contract, I don't understand the law!"
These words stunned everyone present. A deputy secretary, a parent official who was supposed to be a farmer's friend, actually said such things in public. This not only shocked Lao Zhang, but also made other villagers feel indignant.
"Is this still not a society governed by the rule of law?" someone in the crowd muttered.
"If we don't even understand the law, how can we protect our rights and interests?" said another indignantly.
The attitude and rhetoric of the deputy secretary caused an uproar in the local area. Soon after, the news spread throughout the village and even on the Internet. People began to discuss the big things in this small village and the land rights of the peasants.
### Chapter 5: Police Intervention
As the conflict escalated, the police also received a report and rushed to the scene. Their arrival did not calm the situation, but only made the atmosphere more tense. Without warning, several police officers approached Lao Zhang and told him that he needed to go back with him to "assist in the investigation."
Lao Zhang couldn't accept such a change for a while. His hands clenched the farm tools tightly, and his eyes were full of confusion and fear. The surrounding villagers were also shocked by this scene, and they spoke for Lao Zhang, trying to stop the police from taking him away.
"We're just going to farm!" one villager shouted.
"Is this fair to a hard-working farmer?" another villager questioned the police.
Despite the involvement and removal of the police, Lao Zhang's case quickly attracted widespread attention on social media. Netizens expressed their support one after another, believing that Lao Zhang should be treated fairly. At the same time, the relevant departments also began to notice the incident and decided to intervene in the investigation.
The lawyers also joined the discussion, pointing out that even if the land situation changes, the original contract cannot be violated. They stressed that legitimate contractual relationships should be respected and protected, and that any changes should be based on mutual agreement.
### Chapter 6: A Call for Justice
As the incident continues to ferment, more and more people have begun to pay attention to this small farmland located in Inner Mongolia. Farmers, legal experts, and even people living far away are expressing their support for Lao Zhang in their own ways. They call for justice, for respect for the spirit of the contract, and for the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of farmers.
"Spring plowing and autumn harvest are the two most important things for farmers in a year," an agricultural expert said in an interview. ”
"Cultivated land is the most important thing for farmers, and it is also the foundation of the foundation, which should not be affected by wrong logic, nor by unreasonable demands. A lawyer posted on social platforms.
Eventually, the authorities intervened and found that there were indeed problems with the practices in the village and town. Under public pressure, they had to revisit the incident and begin a dialogue with Lao Zhang to find a solution.
At the end of the article, the reader is left with a question for deep thought: In a society governed by the rule of law, how to balance development and fairness, and how to protect the rights and interests of those farmers who have paid silently? At the same time, it also reminds everyone that the struggle to safeguard legitimate rights and interests has never stopped, and everyone should stand up bravely and speak out for their rights.
