Chapter 180: The Whole Village in Turmoil (1)_1

Upon hearing Mayor Wang's stipulation, that they would need to sign an affidavit stating their reasons, some villagers started to balk. After Mayor Qian asked each of them, they all shrugged their hands, admitting they had only heard rumors and were not sure of the details themselves.
