Chapter 58 Don’t Dream Big

Erbao's smile froze. "Really? He even asked Fourth Uncle to beat Erya and the others with thorny sticks. He even said that if Fourth Uncle beat them to death, he would marry another wife and have a son..."

Everyone was angry when they heard this.

Mixed feelings.

I feel sympathy for the fourth son's wife and also for Erya.

Regardless of Wang Laosi's age, he's a cowardly, foolishly filial man who could beat his wife and daughter to death. Who in a decent family would want to marry their daughter to him? And does the Wang family have the spare money to give Wang Laosi another wife? Some of their grandchildren are already of marriageable age, but they haven't found any new partners. All the family money goes to send the second wife's grandchildren to school.

She was just talking nonsense.

Mrs. Wang Liu is really not a human being. She is immoral and short-lived. She will affect the family's fortune and harm future generations.

They all secretly thought that they must stay away from Lao Wang's family in the future to avoid being implicated by such people.

As he was speaking, someone suddenly came running to report the news.

"Oh no! Oh no! Old Wang from the Wang family has brought his son and grandson to the wild pear forest to cause trouble, chopping down and burning the pear trees. Everyone, follow me quickly and teach these bastards a lesson."

Suddenly, everyone in the audience was stunned.

"Fuck, are they crazy? They don't want to be well themselves, and they don't want us to be well either!"

"If we destroy the wild pear forest, how will we make autumn pear paste in the future? Where will we go to pick pears in the future?"

"Damn it! They're so ruthless and evil! Let's go, let's kill them..."

The crowd was excited.

After just a few days of good times, everyone is basically back on track, earning several hundred coins a day, living a comfortable and stable life. Where else can you find such a good thing where money falls from the sky?

Many people have already planned how much money they will earn, how to improve their lives in the future, and how to buy some household items. If the Wang family destroys Lishan, won’t their newly ignited hopes be dashed?

Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents!

Who can bear it?

Everyone stopped what they were doing and rushed to the wild pear forest with their weapons in hand.

Jiang Lianzhu asked Dabao, Erbao and other children to stay at home to look after them, and she went into the mountains with everyone else.

She had truly experienced the cruelty of Lao Wang's family.

Since they couldn't deal with her, they started to attack Li Lin.

Everyone was anxious and walked and ran. Soon they approached the wild pear forest and heard noisy shouting and cursing.

"These wild pear trees are naturally grown. Why can't we cut them down? Let us go! Let us go!"

"If we burn this forest, no one will make any money..."

"Jiang doesn't accept our pears, so forget about selling them. We're all poor together! Why should you drink meat soup with Jiang..."

…

"Kill them! These evildoers are nothing! You want to burn the mountain and the pear trees? Come on, burn us first."

"You bastard, you dare to burn the mountain? I'm going to fight you! I'm in my twenties and have no money to marry a wife. I finally have hope of scraping together enough money for the betrothal gifts and marrying a wife. You dare to mess with me? I'm going to fight you now!"

"Uncle Village Head, drive them out, drive them out of our Wangjia Village..."

"We in Zhaojiamiao, Balitunzi, and Laohe Village don't want people like this. Don't even think about bringing trouble to our village..."

…

The two sides are facing each other.

It wasn't just Lao Wang's family who wanted to destroy the pear orchard. There were also other people in the village who had grudges against Jiang Lianzhu, as well as a few village ruffians.

When they heard that the Wang family took the lead in destroying the pear orchard, they spontaneously followed suit.

The other faction was the one led by the old uncle from Wangjia Village. Following him were not only the villagers from Wangjia Village, but also villagers from other villages who came to pick pears. Jiang Lianzhu would not accept two things: one was not to accept families with whom she had a grudge, and the other was not to accept families who were hooligans, thieves, and had a bad reputation.

All other people will be included, regardless of whether they are from the village or not.

Therefore, many villagers from the neighboring village come to sell pears.

They were far away, and a daily trip wasn't easy. While it wasn't as much as the people in Wangjia Village earning from selling pears, it was still money after all! A hundred or so coins, who wouldn't be happy?

If this source of income is cut off, where can I go to regret it?

As soon as Jiang Lianzhu and the others arrived, the number of staff on the village head's side instantly doubled.

"What's going on, uncle?" Jiang Lianzhu asked.

The village head said gloomily, "You've come at the perfect time. Old Wang's family is the one who's taking the lead in destroying the pear orchard. They're crazy. Our village can't accommodate them anymore!"

The old man Wang across from him also had a cold and cruel look on his face. "Brother Lizheng, your heart has long been with Jiang and the others. Yes, our Wang family isn't as wealthy as Jiang is now, and you might have gotten a lot of benefits by clinging to her. That's your own business, and we won't pursue it or point it out. But this pear orchard is wild and uncultivated. You can pick the pears, and we can chop firewood. Is that illegal? What law have you broken? What gives you the right to drive our Wang family out of the village?"

The hooligans nearby also shouted, "That's right, can't we chop wood and use it at home? Can't we set fire to the mountain and make charcoal? And you guys are so arrogant that you can pick pears? You have the guts to use your own fields to grow pears! What's the matter? You think you can claim something that grew wild naturally as your own? How dare you do that?"

"Jiang, you're here just in time. Just tell me something! If you accept our pears, we won't cut down the trees or burn the mountain. If you don't, we'll burn the mountain..."

Jiang Lianzhu raised her eyebrows. She hated being threatened the most.

The grass on the graves of those who had threatened her in the past was now very tall.

"If you don't want to take it, go ahead and chop it down, go ahead and burn it! Let's see if you have the guts to chop it all down and burn it all! Especially Old Wang's family, don't dream of a lifetime!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Wang and the others were so angry that they were confused.

"Cut it all! Chop it all down! Burn it all! If they don't let us be well, we won't let them be well either."

Lao Wang's family took the lead in cutting down trees, and some people even lit torches to burn weeds.

It is autumn now, and most of the weeds in the mountains have turned yellow, making them particularly prone to fire.

The people on the village head's side also rushed forward to stop those who were causing trouble and started to wrestle with them. The stalemate had lasted until then because the other party was holding weapons such as machetes and hoes, and they did not dare to force their way in.

Now that Jiang Lianzhu and the others have so many helpers, they are no longer afraid.

Jiang Lianzhu also took action. She specifically targeted those holding torches. She couldn't let the fire start. If it did, the consequences would be disastrous. Not to mention whether the pears could be saved, even the people here might not be able to escape.

She quietly took out an electric baton from the armory. She would approach whoever set the fire and directly hit him with the electric baton, knocking him out first.

There were also evil people armed with weapons. When Jiang Lianzhu encountered them, she did not hesitate to take action, electrocuting them and snatching their weapons.
