Luo Jingyan skillfully dodged the brick thrown by Zhuang Feifei, and while moving her body, she kicked out and struck Zhuang Feifei in the stomach.
Zhuang Feifei cried out in pain, instinctively clutching her aching stomach and curling up like a shrimp.
The intense pain brought her fully awake. She knew that she was no match for Luo Jingyan in terms of fighting strength, so she stopped and ceased launching attacks against Luo Jingyan.
When she looked up at Luo Jingyan, her eyes were still filled with anger and malice.
"Luo Jingyan, you secretly knocked down my wall and you still have the nerve to hit me? You wait, I'm going to report you to the captain and have him take charge and punish you, you despicable little man who only knows how to hide in the shadows and harm others."
Luo Jingyan found it amusing. "Go ahead and sue me. But you accused me of knocking down your wall without any evidence. You're slandering me. Hitting you is just to teach you a lesson. If you dare to spread rumors outside and ruin my reputation, I won't let you off the hook."
"Luo Jingyan, you dare to take the blame but not the responsibility. I didn't wrong you at all. Do you think I have the time to do that? My perfectly good walls have all collapsed. You're the only one who doesn't like me. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"
"Oh, I see. My old adobe bricks are gone. You stole them, didn't you?"
"No, I didn't do it."
"Hmph, go find whoever pushed down your wall, don't try to cause trouble here,"
“Luo Jingyan, I’m not saying you did it without evidence. First, since I came here, the only person I’ve had a conflict with is you. You hold a grudge against me, and since you can’t retaliate openly, you can only resort to such underhanded tactics. Second, all the walls on my side have collapsed, while yours are intact, which makes you even more suspicious. Third, all six of your original workers have come to work for me, which naturally makes you unhappy. Putting all of this together, you are the most suspicious person who damaged my walls, so you can’t escape responsibility.”
Luo Jingyan shrugged. "You, surnamed Zhuang, are truly laughable. What do you mean that just because I've had a conflict with you, I have to retaliate secretly? Did I slap you secretly just now?" She raised her hand at Zhuang Feifei: "Do you want to try a few more times? I'll retaliate against you openly and honestly."
Zhuang Feifei looked at the raised hand and couldn't help but feel a chill, instinctively shrinking back.
Luo Jingyan continued, "What good would it do me if your wall fell down? Do you think I would do such pointless things? Who knows who you've offended and are now getting revenge on? You should think carefully about who your enemies are."
She glanced at the workers on Zhuang Feifei's side and found that most of them were just watching the spectacle, showing no anger or regret over the collapse of the wall. On the contrary, some of them seemed quite happy.
The wall can only be rebuilt after it collapses, so the workers will always have work to do.
Zhuang Feifei pondered. The only reasons she came here were because of her conflict with Luo Jingyan and Li Hongying. However, Li Hongying's goal was her space, so she probably wouldn't be interested in her house.
"Luo Jingyan, don't think that just because you say that I can't do anything to you. You've done bad things, and you have to pay the price."
She also wanted to get revenge for the physical harm that Luo Jingyan had caused her.
She staggered to her feet, brushing the dust off her clothes. Although she lacked martial arts skills and couldn't beat Luo Jingyan, she had money.
Money can make the devil turn the millstone, and money can buy people's hearts. This can be seen from the fact that the workers have been flocking to her these past two days.
In rural areas, conflicts are usually resolved privately. Fights between individuals or families are commonplace. As long as no one is killed, they are usually handled by the people themselves, and no government officials get involved.
She wanted to teach Luo Jingyan a lesson.
She looked at the workers behind her; most of them were young and strong men, and even the weakest of them were much stronger than women.
“I’ll give three yuan to anyone who’s willing to teach Luo Jingyan a lesson, as long as they can beat her down.”
As soon as she spoke, some of the men behind her began to get restless.
After all, at that time, working hard in the fields would only earn twelve work points, which was less than three cents. Three yuan was equivalent to ten days of food in the fields or three days' worth of building a house.
Most people couldn't bear to lay a hand on Luo Jingyan; even if they were offered money, they wouldn't dare to do something like hitting a young girl.
But as the saying goes, "people die for money, birds die for food." Apart from those who couldn't bring themselves to do it, there were also a few men who, for the sake of money, chose to temporarily forget that Luo Jingyan was just an eighteen-year-old city girl and chose to ignore whether her thin frame could withstand their punch.
They only care about money; they only have money in their eyes.
To get those two dollars, you have to put aside your pride and not care what others say about you.
Li Jianliang gritted his teeth and was the first to raise his hand, "I'll do it."
Uncle Wu had changed employers for money, but he had his own bottom line and couldn't stand Li Jianliang bullying Luo Jingyan, a young girl, just because he was young and big.
Luo Jingyan may be able to deal with Zhuang Feifei, but she might not be a match for Li Jianliang, this strong farmer.
He grabbed Li Jianliang's arm and said, "Jianliang, don't go too far. Luo Zhiqing is just a young girl. You're a grown man, bullying a young girl. It's not only unfair, but it's also shameful if word gets out. Listen to your uncle, we can't let two yuan ruin our morals. If you do that, you're not a man."
Li Jianliang, however, showed no shame: "Uncle Wu, didn't you see she just hit Zhuang Zhiqing? Our current boss is Zhuang Zhiqing, and I'm going to stand up for her. Don't stop me."
