"If we don't move, it's not just that we'll lose our belongings, we'll lose everyone along with us!"
"right!"
Seeing that the people who used to be subservient to him now dared to yell at him, Sun Zhuangtou sneered coldly with a gloomy face: "Good, very good. When the boss comes, I will reinstate my position as head of the village. Anyone who dares to talk back to me today will be the first one I deal with!"
After a moment of silence, Xu Qing stepped forward and said, "I said, every household must make adobe bricks! When the landlord comes, you can complain and let him deal with me, but I don't think the landlord will listen to you."
Before he could finish speaking, the others chimed in, "The boss isn't an unreasonable person. Don't try to scare us with the boss!"
"That's right! The employer is doing very well."
Bai Manshan felt it was his turn to step in when he heard this.
He straightened his back, walked around the corner, and the noisy crowd holding torches in front of him fell into a deathly silence at first, then burst into cheers.
"It's the boss! The boss is here!"
"The boss is back!"
Sun Zhuangtou's old face showed a hopeful look, and he took the lead in complaining: "Boss, Xu Qing is tormenting this old man. Please help me out, even if I haven't done anything meritorious.
Bai Manshan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? How do you plan to 'toughen' me?"
"After the flood receded, we were already exhausted, and we couldn't eat or sleep well. He made us work day and night to make mud bricks to build houses, cultivate the fields, and raise livestock... Especially my family, we were assigned countless tasks. This was deliberately targeting my Sun family!"
The man holding the torch looked angry, but because of his employer, he didn't dare to interrupt and waited for Old Man Sun to finish speaking before speaking.
Unexpectedly, after listening, Bai Manshan asked with a smile, "Do you think Xu Qing is not doing a good job as the head of the estate?"
Sun Zhuangtou's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly nodded.
The faces of his family members behind him also showed joy, their already smug expressions becoming even more triumphant.
Bai Manshan then asked in a friendly tone, "Is it that your family and Xu Qing can no longer work together?"
This time, not only did Sun Zhuangtou nod, but his entire family behind him also nodded in unison.
Is the employer going to stand up for them?
Bai Manshan smiled slightly, her eyes narrowed, and she said softly, "I understand."
He turned to the others in the village and instructed them: "Xu Qing, take some quick and capable men and tie up the Sun family, gag them, and lock them up somewhere for now."
Xu Qing responded with a "yes," and with a wave of his hand, dozens of men stepped forward and began to tie people up.
Sun Zhuangtou stared in shock, his mouth agape. "Dongdong's family!"
Before he could finish speaking, a rag was stuffed into his mouth, and he could only make muffled noises.
Bai Manshan waited until all the Sun family members were tied up and he was sure they were securely bound and unable to escape before explaining, "Last time you made such a big mistake that almost cost the lives of more than two hundred people in the whole village!"
Instead of repenting and reflecting on his mistakes, he dares to trip me up at every turn! What? Does he think I, Bai Manshan, am a pushover? The Bai family cannot keep someone like you, and the Bai family dares not keep your family members either!
He took out the indenture he had obtained from the prefectural city from his pocket, handed it to Xu Qing, and instructed, "Send it to the prefectural city for sale far away first thing tomorrow morning."
Hu Wenhua and his group were dumbfounded by Bai Manshan's swift and decisive actions.
The gentler Master Bai's smile, the more enthusiastically he pokes at it.
