Chapter 95 The Huang Family Causes Trouble

The wedding was ruined, and the festive atmosphere vanished instantly. Lu Zheng's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water, and he exuded a terrifyingly low pressure.

Peng Fei and the others immediately stood up, each rubbing their hands together, their eyes filled with hostility, ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Xia Qianqian didn't recognize the group, but most of the villagers in Xiangyang Village did, and they began whispering among themselves. The production team leader quickly stepped forward and said in a deep voice to the leading man from Huangjia Village, "Brother Huang, don't listen to those idle gossips and attempts to sow discord! Huang Chaodi and Liu Xiao'e committed such a disgraceful act; it's only right that they be punished!"

"It's only natural and right?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the men from Huangjia Village was enraged, veins bulging on his neck. "What kind of talk is that! We all side with our own people, not those in the right! Are we just going to stand by and watch an outsider bully our own people? Is it because Huang Chaodi's father is dead that no one is backing her up? Today we're here to get justice for her!"

The people of Huangjia Village were already holding back their anger, and after hearing the leader's words, they became even more indignant, unleashing a torrent of foul language towards the people of Xiangyang Village.

The two villages harbored resentment over the construction of a dam. The people of Huangjia Village felt that Xiangyang Village had cut off their downstream water supply, jeopardizing their livelihood. However, the town's Party Secretary had personally intervened, forcing them to suppress their anger. Now, old grudges have been compounded by new hatred, and the situation has instantly become tense.

"Stop!" Lu Zheng roared.

Upon hearing this, Peng Fei and the others immediately rushed forward, intending to subdue the first few who had attacked. In the blink of an eye, several men from Huangjia Village were pinned to the ground, unable to move.

However, instead of intimidating the people of Huangjia Village, this was like igniting a powder keg, completely arousing their fighting spirit.

Enraged, the villagers of Huangjia Village brandished their sickles and hoes, and some even grabbed carrying poles. With old grudges and new hatreds accumulated from the past dam construction, they fiercely pounced on Peng Fei and his men with red eyes!

Not far away, Huang Chaodi clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh, her eyes flashing with resentment. She stared intently at the chaotic scene, wishing that the two sides would immediately kill each other.

Every single one of these people is a bad bastard! They should all die!

Wang Xueying whispered to her smugly, "How about it? It seems like my method is working quite well now, isn't it?"

She sneered, "Wait until the situation is completely out of control before you go out. To protect the safety of the people of Xiangyang Village, Xia Qianqian will definitely kneel down and kowtow to you in tears, apologizing!"

Huang Chaobin asked hesitantly, "What if she refuses?"

"Refuse? Isn't that even better?" Wang Xueying revealed a smug grin. "It'll be perfect for letting everyone in Xiangyang Village see her true colors! Then, without us even lifting a finger, they'll drive this troublemaker out on their own!"

"Sister Xueying, I'll listen to you!" Huang Zhaodi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her reddened eyes flashing with hatred.

"My mother has been arrested. If I can't get revenge, it will feel like there's a huge stone stuck in my chest, and I won't have peace of mind day and night!"

Wang Xueying stared at Xia Qianqian's back, her eyes filled with hatred that was almost overflowing. Because of that bitch Xia Qianqian, she had completely lost face in Willow Tree Village!

Not to mention those male educated youths, even the peasants she usually wouldn't bother to even glance at have dared to climb over her head!

These past few days, she had been tossing and turning day and night, unable to swallow this humiliation. Just then, she ran into Huang Zhaodi, who had just been released from the police station.

Previously, the people of Xiangyang Village had taken them to the police station. In order to protect her daughter, Liu Xiao'e insisted that she took all the blame upon herself, claiming that her daughter knew nothing and that she was just confused.

The police interrogated Huang Zhaodi for a long time but couldn't get any more information out of her. In the end, they could only give her a lecture and then release her.

Just when Huang Zhaodi was filled with sorrow and had nowhere to vent, Wang Xueying took the initiative to treat her to a meal and patiently listened to her cry out her grievances and resentment.

Huang Zhaodi was already at a loss, and seeing how "understanding" Wang Xueying was, she had long regarded her as a confidante. Now, hearing Wang Xueying's "brilliant plan," she felt as if she had grasped a lifeline and immediately nodded in agreement, following Wang Xueying to Huangjia Village to seek help.

The people of Huangjia Village had long harbored resentment towards Liushu Village, and they were simmering with anger with nowhere to vent it.

Huang Chaodi's instigation was exactly what they wanted, and they immediately decided to deliberately come to Xiangyang Village on the day of the wedding to cause trouble and make things difficult for them.

It's important to understand that the feud between these two villages is nothing new. Before liberation, they constantly fought over water resources, which even resulted in deaths.

With the leaders above constantly issuing orders to suppress any unrest, people usually don't dare to act rashly. However, this year, due to unfavorable weather conditions, the grain harvest in Huangjia Village has been severely reduced.

To collect enough autumn grain to pay the taxes, the villagers, young and old, tightened their belts, eating only thin porridge mixed with bran at every meal, their stomachs long since devoid of oil and fat. Living a meager existence, they had nowhere to vent their anger, and thus directed their resentment towards Xiangyang Village.

Seeing their own villagers being beaten to the ground by Lu Zheng's men, the people of Huangjia Village went completely berserk and were no longer willing to let the matter rest!

Like enraged wild beasts, they brandished hoes and sickles, fiercely attacking the people of Xiangyang Village without regard for their own safety. The people of Xiangyang Village were not to be trifled with either; seeing the other side's barbarity, they also grabbed their weapons, and the two sides instantly became entangled in a fierce fight.

The situation was about to spiral out of control when Lu Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he shouted sharply, "Stop! Take all the weapons from their hands!"

Upon receiving the order, Peng Fei and the others grabbed nearby benches and wooden sticks and charged towards the armed Huangjia Village people.

These men were well-trained soldiers, agile and well-coordinated. Even if the villagers of Huangjia Village were armed with sickles and hoes, they were no match for them, like chickens and dogs.

In a short while, more and more people from Huangjia Village were swiftly and decisively subdued and unable to move.

Just when everyone thought the storm was about to pass, a sudden change occurred!

"Stop it, all of you!"

With a roar, several village elders from Huangjia Village raised their hunting rifles! The dark muzzles were pointed at Peng Fei and his men!

"Release them! Otherwise we'll open fire!" The old village chief's voice was filled with a ruthless determination to fight to the death.

gun!

Upon seeing those old, yet still deadly hunting rifles, everyone gasped. The air seemed to freeze instantly; the previously chaotic scene fell completely silent.
