Chapter 38: I'll get you out right now
In the crowd, an old man with gray hair and a thin body was sitting on the ground.
Judging from his appearance, he is estimated to be in his seventies or eighties.
It was such a cold day and I was wearing a shabby shirt.
The old man pointed at the contractor with shaking hands and said, "Are you still human? You think I'm a lonely old man and easy to bully, so you want to occupy the land without paying me!"
"Without land and without money, how can I live... You guys! You are trying to force me to death!"
The contractor in a dark blue suit lowered his eyes and snorted coldly, "An old man who is half buried in the earth and about to die, you still want money?"
The old man shouted angrily: "If you take my land, you have to pay me!"
The contractor frowned, looking impatient: "We've already paid you, why are you still making a fuss?"
"Railway construction is a big deal, and everyone has to contribute! But you, the old fellow, got the advantage and sold it out, took the money but refused to acknowledge it, and even came to make trouble. What? You think we are brothers and you are easy to talk to, right? If you make trouble again, I will call the police and let them arrest you!"
Zhou Dong looked at this rogue contractor.
He tightened his hands at his sides with such force that even the joints made crackling sounds.
—
The old man must have stayed outside for a long time. His lips were cracked and had tiny cuts all over them. His palms were scratched somewhere.
Bright red blood flowed down his wrist, wetting his cuffs.
The old man cried, "You chased me away in the middle of the night! You didn't even give me a penny!"
"I was a soldier when I was young. I don't have any other skills, but I still have this toughness. I am still a man of my words. If I tell a lie, I will die!"
"Not only me, but my three children are also soldiers. They have even made sacrifices for the country and for this land. I am the only old man left in the family of five. Now I just want to get back my share of the money! Don't go too far!"
The contractor heard this and said softly, "Oh, so you are a family without a son. Then you don't need money. You don't have a son to see you off anyway."
When Zhou Dong heard this, his whole body tensed up suddenly, and the veins on his forearms became prominent instantly.
He looks like a murderous person!
With a cold face, he took a step forward.
Lao Zhang quickly grabbed the man's wrist and whispered, "Mengzi, don't be impulsive. Let's see first."
Zhou Dong glanced at him sideways.
Stop where you are for a moment and suppress the violence in your body!
The old man was shaking so much that he could hardly control himself. He said, "You are a young man who is not even 50 years old. How dare you talk to an old man like me like this? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
The contractor raised his eyebrows and said, "Just let it chop me. See if it can chop me."
"Okay! Since you are not afraid and still want to occupy my house and land, if you have the guts, you can get through me today!"
After the old man finished speaking, he lay on the ground with his eyes closed!
The contractor said coldly: "Old man, you are looking for death, right? Good! I will grant your wish!"
"Bring me a shovel!"
There were so many people watching and I didn't know who it was, but he actually handed the shovel over to me.
The contractor took the shovel, walked to the pile of rubble, bent down, scooped up a full shovel of rubble, and threw it on the old man.
“…”
The old man remained motionless.
The corner of his lips curled up into a sinister and vicious smile, and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, you're brave! You're not afraid of being buried alive!"
"Then you old fellow, just lie there and don't move!"
Then comes the second hoe.
The construction site used large iron shovels, and after two shovels of gravel, the old man's lower body could no longer be seen.
The contractor still showed no intention of stopping.
He turned around, bent down, and used the shovel to shovel a third time. This time he used more force. The shovel went deep into the rubble. When he lifted it up, it was filled with rubble.
Everyone looked at everything in front of them.
I estimated that the old man would be nearly killed by this blow.
However, just as the third shovel of gravel was about to be thrown, Zhou Dongmeng emerged from the crowd, arrived in front of the contractor, and kicked the shovel in his hand away.
How could the contractor withstand such force? The shovel in his hand slipped out and he stumbled to the ground, falling flat on his face.
He cried out in pain.
The contractor climbed up from the ground in a panic.
A pair of small triangular eyes stared at Zhou Dongmeng, his face full of viciousness: "Who are you? A worker here? Do you need to meddle in other people's business?"
Zhou Dong clenched his teeth, clenched his hands hanging at his sides into a ball, and the meridians in his arms bulged.
It seems that we have reached the limit of our tolerance.
He did not answer the contractor.
Instead, he said to the workers who were watching the excitement behind him: "Help the old man up!"
The people around looked at each other in bewilderment.
No one dared to step forward...
After reading it, the contractor smiled proudly and said, "Did you see that? This is what it means to be a wise man who knows the current affairs. Why are you the only one who is acting like an individualistic hero? Huh? Great hero, should I call you that?"
Zhou Dongmeng glanced at the man with cold eyes.
He said again in a deep voice: "If you are a man, help the old man up!"
Old Zhang stepped out of the crowd at the right time and called out to everyone: "Come on, it's so cold, let's help the old man up as soon as possible."
Seeing someone step forward first, everyone came forward to help.
Some people removed the rubble from the old man's body, while others took off their clothes and put them on him.
The contractor saw that they all went to help.
He was so angry that he jumped up and down, shouting in a shrill voice: "I want to see who dares to help me! Stop it! Whoever wants to go against me today, I will make him go away immediately."
Zhou Dong sneered and licked his back teeth with the tip of his tongue.
The contractor looked at him and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Then he threatened: "Boy! Remember this, as long as I am here, you will never be able to enter any engineering team in Changling, big or small!"
But just as he finished speaking, Zhou Dongmeng's fist came towards him.
The man had been a soldier and was tall and strong, so it was easy for him to take care of a little chick.
After a few punches, blood gushed out of his nostrils.
The contractor lay on the ground, staring: "You dare to hit me?"
Zhou Dongmeng knelt down on one knee, lowered his eyes to look at him, and asked directly: "Will you give me the subsidy for the elderly?"
The contractor yelled, "Give me a shit, who the hell do you think you are, why would you give a shit about me?"
Zhou Dong raised his eyebrows fiercely: "Not giving it? Really?"
The man reached out, grabbed his collar, and threw him over his shoulder.
“Hmm!”
The moment the contractor landed on the ground, he let out a muffled groan!
The powerful impact almost broke him into eight pieces. The man's face was distorted and he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
Zhou Dongmeng came closer and asked: "Give it? Or not?"
