These words enraged the villagers of Shuxia Village, who wished they could drag the man back and beat him up again.
"Fuck your father! I've never seen such a shameless person in my entire life!"
Regardless of the clamor from the people of Shuxia Village, the people of Futian Village knew that the ditch was indeed as Sun Xing had described.
"Have the people of Shuxia Village become so bold?"
"The ditch is just like that, how could it be fake?"
"Bullshit! In previous years, has Shuxia Village ever complained about water usage? You little brat, you cut off our village's water supply last night, and we dug it back up this morning. You still dare to sit here and guard it because your village is so big! Do you really think Shuxia Village has no one left?"
"Since we're going to die anyway, come on! I'll fight you beasts to the death!"
Sun Xing only dared to slander Shuxia Village because he thought his side had more people. After all, he was in the wrong, and since he had pinned the blame on Shuxia Village, he figured they wouldn't dare say much. In the past, when water was scarce, Shuxia Village had never uttered a sound.
Little did he know that as soon as he finished speaking, the villagers of Shuxia Village were ready to fight him to the death. He was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the villagers, and his family surrounded him.
"Help! They're trying to murder me!"
Sun Xing's words completely shattered the rationality of the people in Shuxia Village.
Qian Shulin was so angry that his chest heaved, and even Li Xuhai was appalled by the shamelessness of this man from Futian Village.
"I'll risk my life to get to the bottom of this today! This scoundrel is trying to frame our village. Does he really think we're all helpless?"
Qian Shulin took the lead, punching as he charged forward, and the others, their hearts pounding with excitement, followed him.
The people of Futian Village were also unhappy when they saw the people of Shuxia Village rushing up, and they quickly tried to defend themselves.
A chaotic battle ensued.
The trouble Sun Youcai caused in Shuxia Village was related to the matter of the heated brick bed.
Last winter, the kang-making team from Shuxia Village became famous in the surrounding villages and earned a lot of money. Sun Xing's family then had an idea. His younger brother, Sun Wang, who was quite clever since childhood, secretly learned how to make kangs when he saw people from Shuxia Village coming to the village.
Later, Sun Wang gathered a group of cronies and started a kang (heated brick bed) renovation team. At first, he managed to get a few orders from the kang renovation teams in Shuxia Village by lowering prices. However, after doing business with one or two companies, Sun Wang had some ulterior motives.
The people working on the kang (heated brick bed) had to come and go from the owner's house. Sun Wang was not a very honest person. He would scout out the place during the day and then steal at night. Later, he became bolder and would sneak into the owner's house to take things while working on the kang. Because the stolen items were mostly money or valuables, the frequency of the thefts increased and people noticed something was wrong.
After being reported to the authorities, this group of people were immediately imprisoned and spent the entire year in jail.
Because of this incident, Sun Wang's family had long harbored deep hatred for the people of Shuxia Village.
Now that it's spring planting season, Sun Xing is thinking of cutting off the water supply to Shuxia Village to get revenge. He figured that even if the villagers of Shuxia Village found out, they wouldn't dare to take him seriously.
When he arrived in the morning and saw that the mound of earth had been dug up, he knew that the villagers of Shuxia Village had discovered it. Sure enough, the villagers didn't even dare to question him. This discovery emboldened Sun Xing, so he brazenly cut off the water supply and sat there openly.
Sun Xing wanted to see for himself, so he sat down here today and watched to see which villager dared to dig it up.
To his utter surprise, the people from Shuxia Village beat him half to death as soon as they arrived.
This is outrageous! This is outrageous!
Did they get too bold after making some money last year? He's determined to crush the arrogance of these people from Shuxia Village and make them never dare to raise their voices at the people of Futian Village again!
Sun Xing roared inwardly!
"stop!"
When Sun Youcai arrived, the two sides were cursing and fighting, and the fight was raging.
"ah!"
Sun Xing was the main target of the villagers' attacks. Everyone was furious with him, and even Li Xuhai kept his eyes on Sun Xing and wanted to beat him up.
Upon seeing Sun Youcai arrive, Sun Xing, who had been suffering greatly, was overjoyed, but was immediately slapped hard by Li Xuhai, who followed closely behind, and cried out in pain.
"Village Chief, you've finally arrived! Look at them, they still dare to hit people even after seeing you! The people of Shuxia Village are going to kill someone!"
Sun Xing rushed to Sun Youcai's side, grabbed Sun Youcai's leg, and started wailing.
Combined with his injuries, he truly looked like he had suffered a great injustice.
"Sun Xing, what happened to you?"
Sun Youcai was furious. Sun Xing was in such a sorry state. His face was swollen, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he had been beaten a lot. He was covered in bruises.
"Are you from Shuxia Village so audacious that you dare to come to Futian Village and attack our villagers?"
As soon as Sun Youcai arrived, the people of Futian Village retreated. He was the village chief and had a high reputation in the village.
Sun Xing was still wailing incessantly. Sun Youcai glanced at the people from both villages; neither side had come out on top in this fight. At least both sides were trying to control themselves and were using their fists; otherwise, someone would have died, and the two villages would have become blood enemies.
"What exactly happened?!"
"Village chief, the people from Shuxia Village deliberately filled in our village's water source. When I discovered it, they didn't apologize but instead beat me. Everyone came after hearing my screams. Everyone can testify to that!"
“Village chief, Sun Xing is right. When we arrived, the people from Shuxia Village were beating Sun Xing and they even filled in our village’s ditches with soil.”
"Yes, village chief, we all saw it with our own eyes."
"This village under the tree is a well-known exile village, full of the descendants of corrupt officials who committed murder and arson. It's not surprising that they would do such a thing."
The villagers who participated started talking all at once. They were already angry with each other, and besides, what they said wasn't the truth.
Hearing what the villagers said, Sun Youcai's face darkened even more.
"People from Shuxia Village, what do you have to say?"
"I thought this Village Chief Sun was really here to solve the problem, but it seems he's just deliberately trying to cause us trouble."
"What else can we say? We're all murderers and arsonists, turning black into white. Bah! Your people have said it all."
"We filled in the ditches in your village, and we beat this bitch!"
"right!"
Sun Xing smiled sinisterly. They really dared to claim this "Shuxia Village" as their own.
"Uncle Qian, don't rush." Li Xuhai hurriedly stopped Qian Shulin; this wasn't going well.
"Uncles and brothers! I've heard it said that we can't admit to doing something that wasn't our responsibility."
Li Qingzhang shouted in a panic. He only learned about this matter when he saw Li Xuhai's son on the way. He already knew the background. He could not let everyone admit it because of this anger. Even if they had to admit it, the previous events had to be clarified!
“Village Chief Sun, Sun Xing from your village secretly filled in our village’s ditch last night. We found it this morning when we went to work in the fields and came all the way here. To maintain the friendship between our two villages, we dug it up and left. But in less than an hour, he cut off the water again and even sat there swaggeringly, waiting for our villagers to come. What? Does he really think our village is dead and helpless?”
