Liu Qian curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just showing off a little in the village? These country folk are really not easy to tease, so boring!"
He casually put the money into his pocket, crossed his legs, and looked nonchalant.
Zhao Wei frowned, stared at Liu Qian seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think this is in the city? Here, everyone is an honest person who makes a living with their own hands, and we won't tolerate you being so reckless."
"If I hadn't intervened today, you would have been thrown into jail by now."
"I've offended you, so what can you do to me? It's just two dollars, can you sentence me to death?"
Liu Qian stiffened his neck and retorted: "When I return, they will just have to watch helplessly, and maybe even beg me for mercy."
"You!" Zhao Wei was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up: "You are so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you have money?"
He took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said slowly: "I can understand that you were spoiled in the city, but now that you are here, you must learn to respect others and learn to adapt to local customs."
"Don't keep calling me a country bumpkin. I am your cousin, a country bumpkin to the extreme. Don't tell me you don't like me, either?"
Liu Qian was frightened by Zhao Wei's sudden anger. A trace of panic flashed across his face and he quickly apologized.
"Cousin, I was wrong. I didn't mean to look down on you."
Just then, a villager ran in in a panic, shouting breathlessly.
"Boss, this is bad! The canal we worked so hard to build was dug down by people from the next village, and the water has flooded into the fields. If this continues, this year's crops will be ruined!"
Zhao Wei looked at the sky. It hadn't rained for more than half a month. The water flooded into the fields for a while, but it was not a big deal. He could just drain it in time.
However, the other party was so provocative, it seemed that they were targeting their village.
Last time, the fertile land in the village was secretly transferred to their village.
He had finally managed to get rid of the village chief and made him stop coveting his little piece of land.
I didn’t expect that just one month had passed and these people were causing trouble again.
This time, Zhao Wei wanted to see how big a fuss these people wanted to make.
When we arrived at the scene, we saw that the muddy river water had been artificially blocked downstream. The river water rushed out of the collapsed waterway like a wild horse, swallowing up the surrounding farmland.
They grow corn, not rice. The water is too strong and will kill the crops over time.
Farmers rely on the weather for their livelihood, and these people's actions completely disregard the lives of the people of Yushudun.
At this time, the villagers had heard the news and came with tools, trying their best to repair it. As it was a matter of survival, everyone worked very hard.
But due to the large gap in the river channel, the effect was minimal.
When the river was first being built, the villagers were a little upset. It was Zhao Wei, in the name of the president, who insisted on doing this.
At present, waterways are connected in all directions, connecting these farmlands.
But it also brought disaster.
If he can't solve the problem, he will probably be labeled as stupid and useless.
There are many people who want to bring him down.
Zhao Wei's eyes swept over the villagers one by one, and then he selected thirty strong young men who had gone hunting with him in the mountains, and asked them to follow him to dredge the blocked river.
Looking at the river water that had accumulated to a height of three to five meters, Zhao Wei was the first to jump in.
He was holding a sharp pickaxe in his hand and needed to swim over to do his job.
The spring river water was icy cold and instantly flooded over Zhao Wei's neck. The coldness penetrated into his bones through his pores, making him shiver.
The guys behind him were a little hesitant when they saw this. Some of them were not good at swimming, and some thought the water was very turbid and were afraid of accidents.
Zhao Wei turned around to look at them and found that only Miu Miu and a few others were following him, while the rest were just standing on the shore and watching.
He sneered in his heart, but secretly took note of the few people who fell into the water.
He doesn't like people who only add icing on the cake. People who provide timely help are the ones who are worth supporting.
I hope those who are waiting and watching will not regret it in the future!
He waved his arms vigorously, drawing arcs in the rushing water. Several strong young men followed closely behind him, and the splashes of water shattered into silver beads in the twilight.
On the other side of the river, villagers from the next village were holding farm tools and hiding in the jungle, watching this scene.
"How long do you think it will take them to break through? Tsk tsk..."
"Hehe... We used a very heavy rock that normally requires two people to lift. Now there's water and they can't see it. They want to dig open the river channel? Dream on!"
"We have to make them lose the game this time. Then we can take the opportunity to drive that Zhao kid off the stage and let Wang Hu from our village take over."
"When the time comes, the people of Yushu Village will work for the people of our village. Just think about how much advantage they will get!"
"Haha... maybe, by then, we can take away several acres of those fertile fields..."
…
These people had beautiful imaginations and watched the hustle and bustle of Elm Village with great interest.
…
In the river at this time.
Zhao Wei stood firm on the protruding rocks under the water and wedged his pickaxe into the temporary dam.
Then he gave instructions to the people behind him: "Listen carefully, dig a gap on the left side and divert the water to the wasteland! Let's release some of the water pressure first."
