Chapter 288 Darkness
After Shen Yuan made these harsh remarks, followed by the gesture of throwing money, the eldest uncle and second uncle's families were stunned into silence.
I used to think that Li Fuqing was just a village bully, but now I think my eldest nephew is more like a village bully.
Although my eldest nephew is usually quite naughty, I have never seen him so "arrogant"!
Chen Xuan was stomping her feet and watching the fun, looking excited: "My brother is still very handsome when he is being bossy!"
Li Hongjuan was worried: "Old Shen, will Xiaoyuan get into trouble if he does this?"
Shen Heping trusts his son very much: "Our son is not a child anymore, he should have no problem dealing with this."
As the person involved, Shen Yuan was looking at Li Fuqing frivolously. If he didn't know, it would be fine, but now that he knew it, there was no reason for him to ignore it.
What's more, the ones being bullied were not others, but his uncle and grandmother, so Shen Yuan certainly would not tolerate it.
Li Fuqing was choked and speechless. He had never encountered such a situation before. He was used to bullying others in the village and usually he was the one who said such harsh words.
Only then did he realize that he needed to look up to see the other person's face clearly. This young man was not only tall, but also had wild eyes and eyebrows.
Li Fuqing was frightened by his stare, but he didn't want to lose face in front of so many people, so he raised his chin high:
"Are young people these days so unreasonable? Can't they even say hello to their elders when they see them?"
In a village, most people are related to each other, not to mention that the two families are next to each other. However, this old guy was rude and unreasonable when he blocked the road, and now that he is weak, he is taking advantage of his seniority.
Shen Yuan didn't tolerate it at all, and said aggressively: "Who do you think you are? Let me say hello to you?"
"you"
Li Fuqing stretched out his hand, his face flushed red.
He really wanted to rush up and attack, but the other party was a head taller than him and had a very fierce aura.
"Old Li, stop talking nonsense with this kind of person."
His wife next to him knew that it was useless to just talk to deal with this kind of gangster, so she pulled Li Fuqing into the yard and called for help.
The excavator moved very quickly. In just a short while, it had already dug four or five meters, almost excavating the entire wall. However, Shen Yuan felt that this was too fast, so he shouted to the driver, "Dude, dig slower."
The driver didn't know why he had to slow down, but he still made an "OK" gesture.
This was the first time Ji Ya had experienced such a thing. She was actually very nervous and worried that Li Fuqing would really rush up and attack her.
She knew that the couple must have gone in to make a phone call, and she said worriedly, "Mr. Shen, do you want to call some people to help?"
"No need. It's a different era now. There's no such thing as fighting."
Shen Yuan knew that Li Fuqing was so arrogant because he relied on his cousin who was the village chief and the deputy director of the fitness equipment factory, so he must have called the two of them at this time.
"Mr. Shen, although I know that now is not the right time to remind you, but next time you encounter something like this, you should not rush in too quickly. What if the other party gets impulsive and really attacks you?"
Ji Ya showed a worried little face. She recalled how Li Fuqing was looking for "weapons" on the ground just now, and she was still frightened.
"Yeah, okay."
In fact, Shen Yuan was not worried at all that the other party would attack him. This kind of person is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. He will be scared when he encounters someone who is a little bit ruthless.
And even if he really attacked, Shen Yuan would be able to subdue him immediately. With this physique that he had trained for three months, he could easily beat two or three ordinary middle-aged people, and he could also exchange fighting skills at any time.
At this time, uncle Li Baocai also reacted from the shock just now, ran to Shen Yuan and said: "Xiaoyuan, he must have gone to call Li Jinguo and Li Fulong. When they come later, I will say that I called the excavator and bulldozer. Anyway, it's our family's land, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Although my uncle is an honest man, he is not afraid to stand up when it is time. When he saw Li Fuqing calling for help, he took the initiative to take the blame.
Children raised by their grandmothers are always protective of their children. Even the gentle and polite second uncle took out his phone and said, "Xiaoyuan is fine. I'll call our principal. With him helping out, they won't be able to do anything."
My second uncle is an ordinary teacher in the county middle school. The highest-ranking person he knows is the principal, so when something happens, he immediately thinks of the principal.
Shen Yuan held down his hand that was making the call and said with a smile: "It's okay, second uncle, wait until they come, I'll take care of it."
My second uncle still looked worried, and then he turned to look at Old Shen and Li Hongjuan.
Shen Heping patted his second uncle’s shoulder: “It’s okay, second brother, Xiaoyuan is not a child anymore, let’s take a look first.”
There was chaos in front of Li Fuqing's house. There were excavators digging the wall, and there were bulldozers dumping the excavated debris directly in front of Li Fuqing's house.
The two machines made quite a noise and soon attracted the attention of neighbors who lived a little further away.
They didn't know what had happened, but the conflict between the two families was long-standing, and Li Baocai's family had always suffered. Why was Li Fuqing's wall demolished today?
Some people had a good relationship with Shen Yuan's grandmother's family and recognized Shen Yuan in the crowd. The two luxury cars parked in front of their house also attracted everyone's attention.
"That's the son of the third daughter, Hongjuan, and his name seems to be Shen Yuan."
"Yes, he's grown so tall now, and he seems to have brought his girlfriend back with him. She's very beautiful!"
"Those two cars at the door aren't cheap. One looks like a Maybach, and the other looks like a G500."
"What G500? That's a G63. It costs over 3 million! That Maybach is also 3 million!"
"The two cars together cost over 6 million yuan. They're so expensive."
Everyone looked at each other, and then realized that the fact that Li Fuqing's wall had been dug seemed reasonable.
Li Fuqing raised the price of the house and refused to let Li Baocai build it. When the third sister Li Hongjuan and her family returned home in glory and saw this, they were furious and called for an excavator and a bulldozer.
Li Fuqing was not very popular in the village, so when something like this happened, no one had any intention of stepping forward to persuade him. Instead, they were tempted to applaud and cheer.
At this moment, an electric car drove hurriedly over to the fork in the road. Everyone turned around and saw that it was the village chief Li Jinguo.
"Now there's something interesting to watch!"
"Even if they have money outside, it may not be enough to help them when they return to Jinzhou Town."
"The third brother's son doesn't look like a good person either. Let's take a look first."
“.”
Everyone was talking about it, and some even brought benches from their homes to sit down and eat the melon.
When Li Fuqing saw his cousin coming, he quickly walked up to Li Jinguo and passionately recounted Shen Yuan's various "crimes".
Li Jinguo's brows furrowed as he listened. He walked up to Shen Yuan and said with a stern face, "Hurry up and stop the excavator and bulldozer. Be careful not to get out of Baiguoshu Village!"
Shen Yuan had never seen this person before, so he immediately asked, "Who are you?"
Li Jinguo said in a deep voice: "My name is Li Jinguo, and I am the village chief of Baiguoshu Village."
"Oh, so you are the head of the village."
Shen Yuan said indifferently, thinking that this was one of the people who protected Li Fuqing, but being able to support someone like Li Fuqing was not a good thing.
"What's your name? Where are you from?"
Li Jinguo put on his official airs. Although he was only the village chief, he still had some authority in the village.
But Shen Yuan didn't give him any face at all, and directly scolded him: "It's none of your business! I'm from Xingcheng, how can you, a lousy village chief, control me!"
“You.”
Li Jinguo encountered the same problem that Li Fuqing had just encountered. He was so choked that he couldn't speak. He thought to himself, where did this gangster come from? How could he be so unreasonable?
The crowd watching from afar were secretly happy. Normally, no one would talk to Li Jinguo like this. This son of Li Hongjuan has quite a hot temper!
As the village chief, Li Jinguo couldn't afford to back down in front of so many people. Furthermore, this was his cousin's house, so he straightened his expression and said, "Do you know what you're doing? Demolishing someone else's wall is illegal and a crime!"
"I committed a crime?"
Shen Yuan sneered: "Li Fuqing is building a wall on my grandmother's land. Who is breaking the law? Besides, I'm only digging the wall now. I haven't dug up the house yet!"
"Uncle, come here and tell me which piece of land belongs to our family?"
Li Baocai came running over after hearing this. He thought to himself that since his nephew was so strong, he couldn't let himself be outdone. So he pointed at Li Fuqing's house with his chest puffed out and said, "This one on the right is about ten square meters."
"good."
Shen Yuan nodded, then shouted to the excavator driver: "Brother, there is also this house, dig it for me later!"
Li Fuqing panicked even more when he heard this. Who would have thought that the village chief wouldn't even give him the face he deserved? He hadn't even finished digging the wall, but was also trying to dig up his house. He was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "You bastard, let's see who dares to dig!"
Li Jinguo asked in a deep voice, "Did your family occupy Li Baocai's family's land when you built your house?"
Li Fuqing frowned: "At that time, our homestead was not big enough, so we took a little from theirs."
“You.”
Li Jinguo glared at Li Fuqing, his expression darkening: "Have you called Fulong?"
"Yes, he should be on his way here."
The excavator driver was stunned when he heard Shen Yuan's request. He could dig a wall, but digging a house was another matter.
The forklift driver on the other side hurried over and said in a low voice, "Brother, you just told us to dig the wall, not the house."
Shen Yuan blinked at him: "Just scare them, don't dig the house first, just dig the wall slowly."
The forklift driver was stunned for a moment, then reacted and ran over to whisper a few words to the excavator driver.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and the construction was still going on. Not long after, a black Regal came rushing over with the sound of wind. With the harsh sound of tires rubbing against each other, the Regal stopped in front of everyone.
Several strong men in their 30s rushed out of the car aggressively, led by a middle-aged man about 40 years old.
Uncle Li Baocai found a hoe from somewhere and stood in front of Shen Yuan with a serious look.
"Lucky Dragon!"
Li Fuqing's "number two" backer came, and the confidence he had just lost returned to him. He immediately ran over and accused Shen Yuan of his "crimes" as he had just done.
When the onlookers discovered that it was Li Fulun, they were secretly worried about Li Baocai and Li Hongjuan.
The public security environment was not as good as it is now, especially in the first few years after Jianhua was established. I heard that Li Fulun was Jianhua’s number one "thug" at the time, and later gradually became the deputy factory director.
Li Fulun looked a bit ruthless. As he listened, his eyes swept over the two cars, a Maybach and a G63, and an excavator that was demolishing the wall of his brother's house.
Um?
Li Fulong paused, "Why do the excavator driver and the forklift driver look so familiar?"
The younger brother next to him said, "It seems to be Lao Zhang and Lao Wan from our factory."
"From our factory?"
Li Fulong felt something was wrong and quickly ran over to stop the excavator driver: "Stop! Who told you to dig the wall here?"
The excavator driver seemed not to hear and continued working, while the forklift driver ran over and asked, "Director Li, why are you here?"
Li Fulong said with a serious face: "Hurry up and make him stop. This is the wall of my brother's house!"
"Your brother's house. I really don't know."
The forklift driver scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly.
Although he seemed embarrassed, he still had no intention of stopping the excavator driver.
Li Fulong got even angrier when he saw this: "Why don't you tell him to stop?"
The forklift driver laughed dryly: "This is a task assigned by the factory director. Why don't you ask the factory director?"
Factory director?
Li Fulun felt something was wrong when he saw the two luxury cars, so he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
Li Fuqing, who was standing by, noticed his brother's serious expression and felt uneasy. "Fulong, what's going on? I don't have any grudge against your factory director."
Li Fulong stretched out his hand to suppress it: "Wait, I'll make a call."
A subtle atmosphere suddenly arose between the two groups of people who were on the verge of a fight. The people who came with Li Fulun were all security guards from the factory. Fighting was definitely out of the question. They were just called over by the deputy factory director to calm the situation.
But it looked like their trip was in vain. The deputy factory director had obviously met a tough opponent, so they just started smoking nearby.
While Li Fulong was on the phone, Shen Yuan also called Jin Zhifa: "Brother Zhifa, what a coincidence, the person demolishing the wall here is your deputy factory director."
Shen Yuan explained the whole story to Jin Zhifa. Jin Zhifa paused for two seconds and then said, "Don't worry, buddy. They are wrong. I will tell the deputy factory director. Leave this matter to me."
"OK."
Shen Yuan hung up the phone after talking to Jin Zhifa. In fact, he had considered doing this matter. Finding a few ruffians might make Li Fuqing's family more disgusted.
But after all, grandma and uncle still have to live here, so they must find a "local tyrant" to come forward, especially since Li Fulun happens to be the deputy director of Jianhua, then this matter will be easier to handle.
Li Fulun on the other side received a second call shortly after he finished the first call. His face was ashen, and he kept repeating a few words with his head down.
"OK."
"I understand, Mr. Jin."
"Okay, let's do it."
After hanging up the phone, Li Fulong pulled Li Fuqing and Li Jinguo into the yard and said unhappily, "Brother, go apologize to their family later, and don't argue about that road anymore."
Li Fuqing was stunned for half a second, then shouted, "Why?! They demolished my wall, and you want me to apologize to them?"
Li Fulong said in a gloomy tone: "We were the ones who made the mistake first. Besides, you built the house and occupied other people's land. We are in the wrong in this matter."
"What's wrong with that?"
Li Fuqing hurriedly said, "Fulong, you are the deputy director of Jianhua, and Brother Jinguo is the village chief. Why are you afraid of him?"
After all, Li Jinguo is the village chief and is more perceptive than Li Fuqing. Combining the two luxury cars at the door and the two phone calls made by Li Fulun, he can see some clues.
He asked in a deep voice, "Fulong, what's the background of that kid from Li Hongjuan's family?"
Li Fulong sighed helplessly and had to explain: "He is a big boss from Xingcheng, with a net worth of hundreds of millions. He is negotiating a cooperation with our Jianhua boss. This is a direct order from the boss."
Li Fuqing opened his mouth to say something, but Li Fulong continued, "I know what you want to say. Losing my job is a small matter. The key is that they haven't done anything ruthless this time. If they really play games, they won't be so soft-hearted."
"You've already occupied someone else's land to build a house and a wall. They're rich and can hire two lawyers to sue you to death. Then you'll have to pay compensation and have your house demolished."
"This isn't the end of the story. If they still want to keep doing this, they can always fire the village chief who brought Big Brother Jinguo to power. Do you think someone with this much wealth doesn't have political connections?"
"Our factory once worked with a company called Leji, the largest fitness brand in Xingcheng. Their boss in Lu District lost at least 10 million yuan because he offended Li Hongjuan's son, and he still has nowhere to seek justice."
"Brother, this isn't the time of the 2000s. There's no point in being violent and brave. Those who play with literature can beat us to death."
"People like this are just like pinching ants when dealing with us, so brother, go and apologize and let this matter go."
Li Fuqing and Li Jinguo looked at each other, especially Li Fuqing, who felt more and more disappointed the more he listened.
I originally thought that the other party just had some dirty money, but I didn't expect...
After digesting it for a while, Li Fuqing couldn't help but ask, "Is there no other way?"
Li Fulun shook his head.
Li Fuqing lowered his head in silence.
The only sound in the air was the sound of excavators digging at his wall, and bulldozers dumped all the construction waste into his yard. His cousin Li Jinguo and younger brother Li Fulun, whom he had always been proud of, had no way to deal with the culprits.
For the first time, he felt a sense of powerlessness and suddenly felt that the world was so dark.
Outside the hospital.
Shen Yuan had already stopped the excavator and bulldozer and left. He had just demolished two walls, about 10 meters long. The price was 300 per square meter, so he would give about 3,000.
However, Shen Yuan asked the forklift driver to dump all the construction waste in Li Fuqing's yard. He could clean it up himself!
Ji Ya finally understood at this time why Shen Yuan asked the excavator driver to dig slower. It turned out that it was to prevent the excavator from digging too fast, otherwise the two people would not be able to see it.
"Let's go, let's go home first."
Shen Yuan asked everyone to go home.
Before everyone could react, Li Fulun was a well-known figure in Jinzhou Town. His own brother's wall was demolished, so why did he walk into the yard without saying a word?
Uncle Li Baocai just thought that a fight was about to begin, so he went to get a hoe. But now it seemed that it was unnecessary, so he threw the hoe away and went next to his eldest nephew.
"Xiaoyuan, what's going on?"
Li Baocai asked curiously.
"It's okay, uncle. They won't dare bully our family anymore."
Shen Yuan laughed as if nothing had happened and said, "These people are just paper tigers, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. You can also build your house in the future."
Li Baocai still didn't understand the reason. At this time, his second uncle noticed two new cars at the door and exclaimed, "Heping, when did you change your car? Maybach!"
Li Baocai looked over and asked: "Maybach?"
Shen Heping laughed and said, "It's been two months since I changed it. It's also thanks to Xiaoyuan."
"How much does Xiaoyuan earn?"
“.”
Shen Yuan was too lazy to be questioned by his family, so he ran directly into the yard and asked Lao Shen and Li Hongjuan to explain.
Grandma doesn't like to worry about things outside. She is burning firewood in the kitchen and cooking something in the pot.
There are actually liquefied gas tanks in rural areas, but a large number of people still prefer to use wood stoves, and dishes cooked with firewood do seem to be more fragrant.
This is a taste that you can't usually get outside, and Shen Yuan could only eat it during holidays and summer vacation.
"It smells so good, grandma~"
Shen Yuan fanned his nose with his hand.
Grandma smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits: "It's Yong Tau Foo. One summer vacation, you kept asking for Yong Tau Foo every day."
"It's been so many years, and you still remember it."
"Not many years ago, when he was about your height."
Grandma sat in front of the wood stove, the flickering light of the fire shining on her wrinkled face, making her look particularly kind.
Outside the door, Shen Heping and Li Hongjuan finally explained clearly "the story of their son's rise to wealth."
It's quite a proud thing to say, after all, their own son has become successful, which indirectly shows that they raised him well.
After hearing this, my uncle Li Baocai couldn't help but say, "No wonder Xiaoyuan was so confident just now."
My aunt smiled and said, "Although Xiaoyuan was so naughty when he was young, he is very smart, so I thought he would have a good future."
"How could you have said what I said?"
My second uncle muttered in dissatisfaction.
He is an experienced teacher, and having seen so many students, he has his own way of judging people.
Xiaoyuan has a very popular personality. He has shown the same sophistication and open-mindedness as his father since he was a child. In addition, he has a frivolous and wild nature, so his achievements are sure to be great.
While everyone was discussing, Li Fulun came with Li Fuqing and Li Jinguo.
Li Baocai was about to stop them, but seeing that their expressions did not show that they were looking for trouble, he did not stop them.
Li Fuqing looked a little uncomfortable. He walked up to Li Baocai, scratched his head and said, "Brother Baocai, I was wrong about the road. I also occupied your land when I built the house. I'm sorry."
Li Baocai and his aunt were stunned. Li Fuqing actually apologized to our family?
This is really like a knife cutting your butt, it really opened your eyes.
“The total amount here is 13,000, including the 3,000 that Shen Yuan’s nephew just gave me, and the 10,000 that I occupied your land. The remaining 10,000 is considered as me buying your land.”
Li Fuqing handed over a stack of banknotes and said, "I will rebuild the wall, but it won't occupy your land anymore. Don't worry about that."
Li Baocai hadn't reacted yet, but Li Fuqing had already stuffed the money into Li Baocai's hand and then walked into the yard.
Li Fuqing came to the kitchen, shook his grandmother's hand and said, "Aunt, I'm Fuqing. I'm sorry for offending you over the years. I'm here to apologize."
Grandma said, "Oh!" "It's Fuqing."
Li Fuqing shook hands for a while, then turned to look at Shen Yuan, smiled honestly and said, "Nephew Shen Yuan."
Shen Yuan said expressionlessly: "Don't call me nephew, if you have anything to say, just say it."
In front of his grandmother, Shen Yuan changed his tone.
"Forehead"
Li Fuqing scratched his forehead awkwardly: "I have offended you many times over the years, please don't be offended. I apologize to you here."
"oh."
Shen Yuan glanced at him indifferently, then his eyes swept over Li Jinguo and Li Fulong behind him.
The two of them felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. Li Fulong said apologetically, "Boss Shen, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding today. The 3,000 you just gave me has been given to Brother Li Baocai. I also gave him 10,000 as compensation for the land. In addition, we will rebuild the wall and will not cross the line again."
"Okay, got it."
"Then we'll go first."
Li Fulun breathed a sigh of relief and walked out with the two of them.
The three of them returned to Li Fuqing's main hall. Li Fuqing was still a little indignant: "I'm so embarrassed today. I even had to go to their house to apologize!"
Li Fulong said sullenly, "If you don't apologize today, even if you want to apologize tomorrow, it might not be of any use. Brother, I advise you not to mess with their family again."
"I've got a few more to blame!"
Li Fuqing slammed his chair and cursed, "I lost 10,000 yuan today, and I still have to repair the wall at my own expense. I've never felt so aggrieved in my life!"
The scene of Li Fuqing and his two companions entering and leaving Li Baocai's house was seen by the onlookers.
They watched carefully as Li Fuqing knelt and knelt, and acted as if he was giving them money.
This is really eye-opening. I can actually see such a cowardly side of Li Fuqing.
"It's obvious that Li Hongjuan's son is doing well outside. Even Li Fulong and Li Jinguo don't dare to offend him!"
"Yeah, Li Fulong didn't even say a word just now. He took his brother to apologize."
"In this way, who would dare to mess with their family?"
