Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 121 Conflict with the neighboring village

The two batches of cans sent to Beijing were successfully delivered and the payment was settled.

Yao Weijun decided to give himself two days off to rest. After a while, when Sun Baobing and Liulichang boss Zhang called in advance, he would call on the villagers to process the second batch of cans.

In his rare free time, Yao Weijun took out a few books he bought from the capital, and drank tea and read alone in the house under the warm sunshine of this quiet winter day.

As business became more and more prosperous, he deeply felt the importance of knowledge. He went to the capital a few days ago and bought books on business management and development to improve his knowledge and vision.

After lunch that day, his father Yao Xiangui came to see him. He said anxiously in the main room:

"Lao Wu, how can you keep so many materials in the cellar without anyone watching at night?"

"Huh? Isn't Mr. Mai staying there at night? What's wrong?"

Yao Weijun was slightly confused and couldn't help but ask.

After the cellar was completely completed some time ago, he specially asked Chen Shoushan to lead people to build a wall above the No. [-] cellar to surround the original two adobe houses, and asked Ma Zhanguo and another worker to help Lao Maitou move past.

"Oh, no one I'm talking about doesn't have my own family!"

Yao Xiangui glanced at the yard outside and explained in a low voice: "There are so many melon seeds and red dates. If you let outsiders look at them, if some were taken out for you, would you know?!"

Yao Weijun couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Dad, Mr. Mai is a very nice person. What bad thoughts can he have if he is single and childless? Besides, he will keep track of the accounts. It will be fine."

"I understand Lao Maitou, but I'm still worried about letting outsiders guard our things."

Yao Xiangui still frowned and continued: "Let's just do this. I will move over there and keep you there at night. During the day, I will learn how to grow greenhouses and make cans with your mother."

"No need!" Yao Weijun understood his father's good intentions, but he didn't want to see his father work too hard. Lao Maitou could live anywhere by himself, so there was really no need for his father to move there.

Otherwise, there would be no need to look for Lao Maitou in the first place.

"Dad, all my business matters have been arranged..."

Yao Weijun patiently persuaded him and finally gave up his father's idea of ​​moving to the cellar to keep vigil.

After the father and son chatted for a while, Ma Guangsheng's voice sounded in the yard.

"Dignified brother, are you here with the Guards? Go and have a look. Your second daughter-in-law is quarreling with someone from another village again because of the elm tree covering the ground!"

"..."

When Yao Weijun and his son heard this, they immediately came to the yard.

"Uncle Guang Sheng, what exactly is going on?"

Yao Weijun usually never cared about things in the fields, so when he got closer, he frowned and asked.

"Hey, it's still a conflict with the family in Liujiawan in the next village. Their elm trees are reluctant to cut down. The roots of the trees have penetrated into your father's land. With these elm trees around, most of the fertility in the ground has been taken away. , it will definitely affect the crop harvest!"

Ma Guangsheng was also a little speechless, and continued to add: "No, our production team leader went to their village to negotiate before the land was divided. He promised well at that time, but it has not been cut yet. As a result, when your father drew lots, he happened to catch it. The piece of land on the far side has been argued over several times before, but it’s of no use at all!”

"..." Yao Weijun frowned even more, "Where is my second sister-in-law now?"

"It's right on the field. I'm having a fierce quarrel with Liu Laosan from Liujiawan. Brother, please hurry up. I'll go there with you!"

Ma Guangsheng didn't want to waste any more time. After speaking quickly, he urged Yao Xiangui to follow him.

"Dad, I'll go with you!" Yao Weijun didn't know about this before, but now that he's caught up, he naturally has nothing to say.

That piece of land was planted by my father, and even my second sister-in-law started arguing with her. How could he, a son, just sit back and watch!
"Master, are you arguing about that piece of land again? I'll go with you too!" At this time, my mother and sister-in-law, who were busy in the south courtyard, also heard the noise, and my mother said angrily.

"Oh, don't go and wrap up the mess. Just do what you have to do. I'll just go with the guards!"

Father Yao Xiangui waved his hand impatiently and followed Ma Guangsheng out.

"Auntie, why don't you go find the village party secretary? This involves a conflict between the two villages. I'm afraid it will be useless even if the guards go there. Maybe something will happen!"

After Yao Weijun and the others went out, Chuntao leaned against the arch of Hualing Wall and suggested with a worried look on his face.

"Yes! Madam, go find the branch secretary. As long as it's Brother Wei Jun's business, the branch secretary will definitely come forward to help. I'll also go to the greenhouse to find Uncle Shoushan and ask him to come over too!"

Ma Zhanguo also echoed.

When her mother Zhu Mei heard this, she thought it made sense and quickly ran towards the village without saying anything!

These days, conflicts often arise between villages. Usually, in the end, the leaders of the two villages have to come forward to resolve the matter.

Sometimes, even the commune was alerted and asked comrades from the police station to come to the scene to control the situation, otherwise they would not be able to control it at all!

Especially the long-standing thorny problems like the old Yao family are even more troublesome to deal with.

More than ten minutes later, Yao Weijun followed Ma Guangsheng and his father to the field. From a distance, he saw a group of people standing on the edge of the field, and the noise gradually reached his ears.

"Are you such a bully? Let's plant trees on the edge of my land. My father-in-law's land is now full of tree roots. There won't be many wheat seedlings in the spring of next year. They will just be small saplings. Who can I turn to if I don't get the proceeds? "

The second sister-in-law shouted angrily, her tone full of anger.

"Who do you think you are? I didn't plant my tree in your land. Besides, can you figure it out? This is Yao Xiangui's land, and you have already divided it up. You're right to tell me!"

A tall and thick man opposite him retorted while suppressing his anger.

"Fuck you! Liu Laosan, are you talking humanly? Our family is still one family even if we are divided into families. Do you think we are all the same as you? After the family separation, you don't even recognize me as your own father, bah! "

The second sister-in-law was not a good person and scolded her again, with a hint of contempt in her voice.

"I'll give you a beating! Don't think that because you are an old woman, I won't dare to hit you. Just say another word and try!"

"Liu Laosan! If you can, try hitting me! My father-in-law won't argue with you sometimes, but that doesn't mean our family is easy to bully. If you dare to touch my finger, believe it or not, my Wei Lin will fight you with a guillotine and a knife!" "

"Oh, it scared me to death. I really thought Yao Weilin was so awesome. I told you clearly that not only will I not cut down these trees, but I will continue to plant them in the spring next year! What are you going to do to me?!"

"Liu Laosan, you will be punished!"

"Hey, you have a long face, don't you? You really thought I didn't dare to hit you!"

"..." As the scene became more and more noisy, Liu Laosan, who was opposite him, ignored the persuasion of the people around him and really raised his hand to slap his second sister-in-law Yan Suxia.

At this time, three people from Yao Weijun arrived.

"Stop!" He shouted, went up and grabbed Liu Laosan's wrist!
"Liu Laosan! If you have something to say, what is your ability to bully a woman?"

"Hey, my whole family is here, hehe, it's useless! You can do whatever you want, since this tree isn't planted in your land anyway, so I don't care about it!"

Liu Laosan naturally knew Yao Weijun, and had even made a move before. Knowing that he couldn't beat him, he simply pulled his hand back and acted like a rogue.

He insisted that those elm trees were not planted in the opponent's land, and felt that Yao Weijun had no way to do anything to him.

This is the junction of the two villages, and the family is in charge of its own affairs. The dozens of elm trees he drew in the village after autumn were expected to grow for a few more years and be sold at a good price.

"Weijun, this man is unreasonable in his village. Look at what his elm trees have done to our father's land!"

When the second sister-in-law saw her family members arriving, she looked much calmer and signaled loudly to Yao Weijun in front of the crowd around her.

"Second sister-in-law, leave the next step to me." Yao Weijun looked calm and said calmly to Liu Laosan: "Liu Laosan, in the past, based on your attitude towards my second sister-in-law just now, I could beat you until you can't come back. Village, do you believe it?

But that won't solve the problem. I've looked away now. I'm no longer interested in fighting. If there are problems, let's calmly solve them. There's no need to have a confrontation here. It's not good for anyone. "

"Yao Weijun, stop talking in front of everyone. You used to be more of a bastard than me. What's the matter? I heard that you have done some business now. Do you really think of yourself as the number one person?"

Liu Laosan refused to accept this, and he seemed to be a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. He added with a sneer: "I have no interest in quarreling with you Yao family. It was your second sister-in-law who was looking for trouble just now and she had to be stubborn with me!

I came to pick up my dry branches, and it didn't bother her. Good guy, she just screamed when she came up. Can you blame me for this? "

"Stop talking nonsense!" After hearing this, the second sister-in-law immediately argued again: "You ran to my father-in-law's field to pick up dry branches, and what happened to the wheat seedlings you trampled on? If you are blind, go to the hospital. If you stepped on it intentionally, then you will be punished. Not even human!"

When she said this, she explained to Yao Weijun and the people from Jianchang Village around her: "I just came back from my parents' home and happened to pass by here. Liu Laosan not only failed to cut down these elm trees as agreed between the two villages, but now he also Every now and then I go to my father-in-law’s field to pick up dry branches!
Look, everyone, they have trampled all the wheat seedlings. Is there anyone who would ruin other people’s crops like this?I couldn't stand it and just said a few words to him, and he would hit me. This is too bullying! "

After the second sister-in-law said these words, the people in Jianchang Village couldn't help but angrily condemned her.

Crops are the lifeblood of the villagers, and any behavior that damages crops will be disgusted by others. Even the people who came from Liujiawan shook their heads secretly, looking a little embarrassed.

"I didn't mean it, I just stepped on it accidentally sometimes, that's all!"

Liu Laosan explained nonchalantly.

"Of course that's all! If you step on someone else's wheat seedlings, you'll have to pay for it!"

"It's so shameless. Listen, does this sound like human language?"

"Is there anyone in Liujiawan who is reasonable? Come out and say a few words!"

"Hey, what a novelty. It's so hard to find a reasonable person like him in Liu Jiawan!"

"..."

People in Jianchang Village spoke one after another, and the scene suddenly became noisy.

"I say to everyone in Jianchang Village, just talk about what's happening and don't carry it around forever, okay?"

"That's right, let's ignore the matter of the third child for now. We Liujiawan people are unreasonable, so we need you to arrange it here?!"

"Do you think you in the Alkali Field Village are very capable? I think you ate too much alkaline flowers and your brains were burned out!"

"..."

The people in Liujiawan couldn't listen any more at this time, and they shouted tit for tat one after another. The words they said became more and more unpleasant. The smell of gunpowder spread instantly, and both sides had great intentions of taking action.

Even if Liu Laosan did something wrong today, as the head of a village, he would naturally support him. Moreover, the words spoken by the people in Jianchang Village carried them with him, so no one would be convinced.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Yao Weijun shouted, "Okay, listen to me first!" He raised his hand and waved it, which slightly eased the tense situation at the scene.

"Today is a conflict between our family and Liu Laosan. It has nothing to do with the two villages. Everyone who comes to break up the fight is doing so with good intentions. Each of you should say less and listen to me first!"

Yao Weijun shouted again, finally stopping the impulse of the people on both sides and not making any moves.

"Liu Laosan, come here!"

He waved to Liu Laosan, and after the latter took a step forward, he asked calmly: "You keep saying you don't want to cut down these trees. Can you tell me why? Or, what do you plan to use these elm trees for in the future?" "

"There's no reason, I just can't bear to part with it!" Liu Laosan felt more confident when he saw the postures on both sides. He touched his chin and smacked his lips, "Tsk... if these elm trees grow for a few more years, I guess they will sell for a lot more." As for the money, only a fool would cut it all off now!"

"In other words, you just want to sell more money, not for other uses in the future?"

Yao Weijun asked again.

"What else? You plant the land to make money, and I plant trees for the same reason. It's just that the rewards are slower, but I can wait!"

Liu Laosan said proudly.

"I thought I would keep these trees to make coffin boards later!"

Someone in the crowd in Jianchang Village jeered in a low voice, which immediately caused the villagers on both sides to start a loud confrontation again, and the atmosphere exploded.

Yao Weijun had no choice but to stop him loudly again, and at the same time said to Liu Laosan: "I have bought all your trees. Cut them down today and bring them to the threshing floor. Is there any problem?"

"Of course there is a problem!" Liu Laosan said firmly, holding his neck, "Didn't I tell you that it's not cost-effective to sell it now? I have to wait for it to grow for a few more years!"

Having said this, he added: "If you sell it now, it only costs four or five yuan at most. Why don't you sell it for six or seven yuan in a few years?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll just buy it at a high price. I'll give you six yuan for a tree. Cut it down today, as much as you want!"

Yao Weijun shouted proudly.

Originally, a lot of wood was needed to build the second set of greenhouses. When I went to Chengnan Timber Factory to buy wood, the price was much more expensive than buying logs. After all, the wood factory had to add profits before selling.

The current price is only a few cents more expensive than the lumber factory. It can completely solve the conflicts in his father's land, and Yao Weijun feels that it is not a loss.
