Chapter 309 What's the meaning of life and death? Aren't they still alive?

"It's the result of greed, and with your uncle away, that's a chance for those with bad intentions to take advantage of it, right?"

Lin Yun was asked by Sang Zhixia to ride over on horseback to check the situation.

Aunt Wu sat awkwardly in the carriage, sighing as she said, "I knew something was wrong when the commotion started over there. Turns out your old man went off to study somewhere with a bunch of kids, and Xu Yu and Xu Minghui are nowhere to be found either."

"Your mother-in-law and Third Aunt couldn't handle it, so they chased the kids away. But what could such young kids know?"

Aunt Wu searched back and forth for a few rounds and finally stopped Sang Zhixia in front of Xu's door when she returned. Her face was full of relief.

"It's good that you're back. With someone to support us, that evil-hearted person can't cause any more trouble!"

Sang Zhixia listened for a long time but didn't quite understand what the commotion was about. She frowned and said, "Auntie, what's going on?"

"My mother-in-law and Third Aunt are both good-tempered. How could something like this suddenly happen?"

Aunt Wu smiled bitterly and said, "That's something to say."

"If they weren't such bad-tempered people, there would probably be no quarrel!"

"What else could it be? Isn't it all because of the recipe for your brewery?"

Everyone in the village knows that the Xu family is good at making wine.

Ever since the winery opened, the tracks of the wheels coming to the village every now and then to transport wine and deliver jars have never disappeared.

Seeing that more and more people were working in the winery, anyone with a simple mind could guess that this must be a good business to make money.

But it is precisely the over-management that causes trouble.

When Uncle Xu was out on a business trip, he was too busy to take care of the winery, so Aunt Xu was the one who took care of it herself.

There would have been nothing wrong in continuing the work in an orderly manner, but who would have thought that the person hired to work would have second thoughts and steal the wine-making recipe to start a new business.

Aunt Xu had just discovered that the wine she sold to the city was not selling as well as before, and that there were more wines on the street that tasted similar to hers, so she just thought it was a coincidence.

I never thought that today I would catch the traitor with my own hands.

The stolen recipe can no longer be recovered, but the person caught today stole the distiller's yeast, which is a deadly stuff made with a secret method!

Aunt Xu stopped the people from leaving. The caught thief smashed the wine jar on the spot, turned the tables and started to make a fuss, saying that he had been treated harshly in the winery and united with the other workers to smash and cause trouble.

Aunt Wu was so angry that her face turned blue. She said bitterly, "That Yang guy is a black-hearted bastard. Not only did he cry thief, but he also kept spewing dirty words at your mother-in-law and your third aunt, two women who were decent women!"

When had Xu Wenxiu and Aunt Xu ever suffered such humiliation?

In addition, a drop of cold water into the hot oil pan caused multiple waves, and those who had been recruited by Yang Erzhu and had ambitions in advance also joined in the commotion, and the situation was out of control for a while.

Sang Zhixia's heart sank as she said coldly, "Are the people in the winery making a commotion?"

"I heard it was about the same."

Aunt Wu sighed, "Your mother-in-law is soft-hearted, and your Third Aunt is thin-skinned. How can they control such a group of demons and monsters? I don't know when this rebellious intention started, but it only became a fuss today after they were caught!"

Aunt Wu thought that today's trouble was just a coincidence, but Sang Zhixia didn't think so.

The soldiers from the Northwest Camp who had helped to open up wasteland in the village were all transferred to Moding Mountain, leaving only a bunch of decent people on the farm.

The old man took a group of children out to study. This was decided early on and they would be away for at least half a month.

Uncle Xu has not returned for a long time.

Xu Yu and Xu Minghui are also missing.

In addition, Second Aunt Xu was in the city and had not appeared in the village for many days. Most of the Xu family members had left, and it was a good time to cause trouble.

Others can help, but they cannot make the decision for the Xu family.

Only Aunt Xu San and Xu Wenxiu were left at home in the Xu family. If the host family showed weakness first during a quarrel, even if the onlookers wanted to help, they would be powerless to do anything.

This was most likely planned long ago.

Sang Zhixia subconsciously rubbed her sleeves and frowned, "Are my mother-in-law and the others hurt?"

"How can that be possible?"

Aunt Wu said without hesitation: "There are so many living people in the village, breathing. No matter what, we can't just stand by and watch your family get bullied!"

As soon as there was a commotion at the winery, Xu Yanran and Xu Mingyang, who were small but loud, ran out and shouted.

Those who were idle in the village or working on the farm, upon hearing the noise, would carry their hoes and shoulder poles and rush towards the winery.

Fortunately, there are many people.

The dozen or so people who were causing trouble were trapped in the winery and couldn't get out, and Xu Wenxiu and the others were not hurt at all.

However, the things that were smashed and broken during the conflict could not be picked up, and the turmoil could not be calmed down for a while.

The villagers wanted to help Aunt Xu settle the matter, but the problem was that the people working in the winery were all hired by Uncle Xu from outside, and they signed employment contracts, not indentures.

He is a freelancer and if he says he doesn't want to work anymore, the worst that can happen is that he doesn't want this month's salary and can just sell it and leave.

No matter how angry the people of Luobei Village were, they could only surround the people and prevent them from leaving, but they could not really do anything to them.

After all, they never really hurt anyone!

And some were injured by Xu Mingyang.

Hearing that Xu Mingyang had injured someone, Sang Zhixia's brow wrinkles became more obvious: "The men at the winery are all strong men. How did Xu Mingyang beat them?"

Doesn’t this kid get beaten up in the village every day?

When did you become so good at fighting?

Aunt Wu's face was full of resentment. "Xu Mingyang couldn't beat him by himself, but that guy is a popular big brother. He has many helpers in the village. Even the big yellow dog at the entrance of the village bared its teeth and went over to help him bite a few times."

Xu Mingyang and the Huo family boys responded to the call, and with a roar, a group of young boys rushed over with bared teeth.

They used sticks to smash stones, pulled hair, kicked stomachs, and bit ears, using every possible means.

A few guys are fighting against one person, how can they not win?

It was obviously a very serious moment, but when Sang Zhixia thought about the chaotic scene, her face twitched uncontrollably.

Good boy.

Well done!

The carriage stopped moving halfway.

Xue Liu, the driver, said solemnly, "Boss, there are people blocking the road ahead. How about I go and..."

"Need not."

Sang Zhixia lifted the curtain of the carriage, her face as pale as ice: "I'll go over there."

Sang Zhixia jumped off the carriage, and Xue Liu grabbed the scimitar at his waist and followed.

Aunt Wu was a step late when she saw it, and her heart began to beat wildly.

Judging from the situation, it seems like the situation is going to get worse.

Aunt Wu was panicking and hurriedly followed after them. Someone in the crowd spotted Sang Zhixia and quickly called out, "Mr. Sang is here!"

"Hey, finally someone who can make the decision has arrived!"

"Xu Mingyang, stop jumping around! Your sister-in-law is back!"

In the crowd, Xu Mingyang had bruises on his face and was being held around the waist by a man who was blind in one eye.

Xu Mingyang grabbed a green brick that he had picked up from somewhere, and was still baring his teeth and kicking his legs, wanting to rush over and fight the person on the ground with his hands covering his head.

The guys who charged with him were all of the same character.

Everyone's face was covered in bruises and purple, and they were obviously in a very miserable state, but they were like wolf cubs baring their teeth and seeing blood, and their little faces were filled with a fierce look that said, "I'm going to kill you."

All of them were furious.

None of them are easy to deal with.

Sang Zhixia was so angry when he saw the palm marks on his face that veins bulged on his forehead. He glanced at the people confronting each other inside and outside the winery, and had a rough idea in his mind.

The people who were constantly being released into the farm were all there, but in order to avoid attracting attention, they didn't make any big movements. They protected the people there and didn't let any of them escape.

Xu Wenxiu and Aunt Xu were blocked at the end. Although they looked anxious, they were unharmed.

As for Xu Mingyang, who was almost uncontrollable by both of them...

Xu Mingyang met Sang Zhixia's gaze, clearly filled with ferocity. He gritted his teeth and his eyes instantly turned red: "Sister-in-law! Tell them to let me go! I'm going to kill him!"

The Huo family kid, who was also being held, was thrashing around, sharing the same animosity with Xu Mingyang. He opened his mouth and yelled, "Beat his dumb mouth!"

"See if he dares to talk nonsense again!"

"Yes! Kill him!"

"Pull out his nonsense tongue!"

The adults didn't say anything, and the group of young boys who entered the venue first, waving sticks and bricks, started to make a fuss.

Sang Zhixia caught a glimpse of the Huo family boy's mother out of the corner of her eye. Mrs. Huo covered her face with her hands and turned her head silently, pretending that she saw nothing.

The families of the other boys also turned their heads and avoided Sang Zhixia's gaze.

Adults are not in a position to interfere in the Xu family's affairs for the time being, but who can argue with a child who has resorted to violence?

It’s just a fight, isn’t it?

Didn't he not kill him?

No one was beaten to death, the kids were just playing around in excitement!

The village chief, whose face had already turned pale, rubbed his hands and said in a feigned displeasure, "Nonsense! What's the point of talking about life and death?"

"Isn't it still possible to survive?"
