"We get up early and work late, carrying water to irrigate the fields, while they sit at home and do nothing, even when the sun is shining on their buttocks!
"It was originally my family's turn today! We haven't watered the fields for more than ten days, but Liu Quan broke the water truck.
"Today, all the old and young in my family have been working together, fetching water since the first light of day, and we haven't finished yet!
"Those people who keep saying they want to repair the waterwheel are just hiding at home and sleeping soundly!"
With just a few words, Wang Dalong successfully aroused the anger of the villagers.
Although Rongxi Village is not far from the river, the terrain near the river is low, and it is really tiring to carry water all the way to the fields.
Not to mention that two buckets of water are not enough to do anything. If you want to water the ground thoroughly, you have to go back and forth again and again.
Originally, they only needed to use the water wheel at the riverside to get water for irrigation, but now it takes so much effort, and the villagers are already resentful.
Now that Wang Dalong had instigated him, he felt even more indignant.
"Yes, tomorrow is my family's turn to use the water truck. I wanted to come and see how it's been repaired and whether I can use it tomorrow!"
"That's right! I originally wanted to come over to see how the waterwheel was being repaired, but when I got here, there wasn't even a single person by the river, let alone anyone repairing the waterwheel!"
"That's too much!" Wang Dalong took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and said, "They said they were repairing a waterwheel, but are they kidding?
"Are they planning to delay it until the autumn harvest, when no one needs to water the fields, so they can get away with it?"
After he said this, the villagers who had not thought about it before also started to worry.
Someone immediately shouted, "I saw Ye Dongkui and Liu Quan both go to that place outside the pass for dinner and drinks last night, and they both came home drunk!"
When he reminded them of this, many people immediately remembered the aroma of meat that had aroused the appetite of most of the village last night.
Now, several families who were not in a hurry to use water began to feel dissatisfied and blamed the Ye family in their hearts.
Why stew meat during a non-holiday season? The most annoying thing is that it smells so good.
This really made the other families in the village very upset. The adults were jealous and the children were crying.
"Let's go find them!"
"Yes, go find them!"
"We can't let them get away with it!"
"It's better not to let us get stuck in the bed, otherwise...
"Otherwise, carry him out naked and see if they still have any shame!"
"Yes, carry them around the village!"
Seeing that the anger of more than a dozen people had been successfully aroused, Wang Dalong showed a sinister smile.
There was no need for him to do anything after that. These people were talking to each other, and the more they talked, the angrier they became. They wished they could immediately pull Ye Dongkui, Liu Quan and Ye Laosan out and give them a good beating to vent their anger.
Unexpectedly, just when Wang Dalong was about to "retire after success", he was stopped by someone.
Wang Dalong looked carefully and found that the person who stopped him was none other than Ye Dongkui, whom he had just scolded for a long time.
Even though Wang Dalong was shouting loudly just now, he was still a little scared when he faced Ye Dongkui.
Firstly, Ye Dongkui enjoys great prestige among the Ye clan members in the village.
Secondly, it is because Ye Dongkui has a large family.
Ye Dongkui has five brothers in his family, and he is the third.
The brothers are now at an age where they have children and grandchildren around them. If something happens in any family, they can easily call dozens of people including their own children and grandchildren, brothers and nephews.
Wang Dalong's family was originally small in population, and Widow Liu was usually sarcastic and mean, and her relationship with people of the same clan was not very good.
They were usually harmonious when they were together and joking around, but when it came to the real thing, no one could be relied upon.
Before Wang Dalong could think of what to say, the others rushed forward, surrounded Ye Dongkui, and started accusing him.
"Stop arguing, speak one by one. I can't hear you all talking at once!" Ye Dongkui was not affected by these people at all. He grabbed Wang Dalong who was trying to escape in the chaos and said, "Come on, weren't you the loudest just now? You speak!"
After arguing for a long time, everyone realized that since everyone was sleeping separately, it was indeed a mess and no one could hear each other talking.
Then it gradually became quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Wang Dalong.
Someone else encouraged him: "Dalong, you speak for everyone."
"Yes, what you just said is very good!"
"Don't be afraid to speak up. We've got your back!"
Everyone in the Wang family stared at him, and Ye Dongkui also stared at him intently.
Wang Dalong gritted his teeth and said with determination, "Just say it!
"Since you dare to do such a thing, don't blame others for stabbing you in the back!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Dongkui crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Okay, then I'd like to hear what I, Ye Dongkui, have done to deserve such criticism!
"If what you said makes sense, I will apologize to you!
"But if what you say is unreasonable, don't blame me for not letting you go!"
Ye Dongkui said as he took a step forward.
His step was full of oppression, which scared Wang Dalong so much that he couldn't help but take several steps back before he could steady himself.
Just as Wang Dalong was about to speak, he saw Liu Quan and Ye Laosan walking out of the village side by side and heading towards the river.
He immediately pointed at the two men and said, "Let's not talk about it now. Let's wait until the two culprits come and talk about it together!"
Wang Dalong's original intention was to remove Ye Dongkui from this matter.
After all, it was Liu Quan who broke the waterwheel, and it was Ye Laosan who promised everyone that he could fix it.
At best, Ye Dongkui was a representative of the village who supervised the two of them.
There's no need to involve him.
Wang Dalong had a good idea, but Ye Dongkui had no intention of following his idea at all. Instead, he took all the responsibility on himself.
