Ergou only felt a heat under his nose, and when he touched it, he found it was bleeding. Even though the other party was the village chief, he couldn't bully him like this!
He just told the truth, but the village chief came up and punched him twice. No man could tolerate this.
So Ergou started to fight back. He grabbed the village chief by the collar and started wrestling with him.
When Ergou's cousin saw Ergou being beaten, he swung his fist at the village chief.
The village chief's eye was immediately bruised.
"What are you standing there for? Come and help me!"
The village chief couldn't handle two people at once. He couldn't stand it anymore and started calling out to his brothers in the crowd.
"Hit Ergou as hard as you can! Who made the village chief so dishonest? He was trying to gain benefits for himself without telling anyone! In the end, he made all the money!"
"Yes! Beat him for making him do such a shameless thing!"
...
...
The village head's wife saw this and immediately pulled people away while crying loudly, "Fellow villagers! There must be a misunderstanding! Our old man would never do such a wicked thing!"
"Humph! No wonder your family has been buying meat and fish for us recently, it turns out you made money by doing something dishonest!"
The village chief's wife became anxious when she heard the sarcastic words from the people around her. She didn't know the bad things her old man had done and thought that the people around her were bullying her, so she reached out and grabbed the other person's hair.
"I told you to stop talking nonsense! I'm going to tear all your hair out!"
"Neither of you two is a good person! Let's see whose hair is pulled out first!"
It was originally a war between Ye Li and the village chief, but now the fire has spread to the conflict between the village chief and the villagers.
More and more people joined the melee. At the beginning, it was just a fight between the village chief's family and Ergou's family, but for some reason it turned into a melee!
You and my family are relatives, and his family and I are enemies. As a result, almost half of the village joined the fight.
The situation was a little out of control, and no one paid attention to the parts in the weaving room anymore.
Nie Fan immediately led his men to quickly move all the parts onto the car.
"Everyone stop fighting! Let's talk it out nicely!" Ye Li didn't want to see this situation. After all, with so many people fighting, it would be difficult to explain if someone died.
But these people were so enraged that they couldn't hear what Ye Li was shouting at all.
"Gensheng, go and invite the old branch secretary!"
"good!"
Guan Gensheng had just tried to stop the fight, but someone slapped him in the face. He also felt that the situation was out of control, so he followed Ye Li's advice and went to ask for help from the old branch secretary.
At the same time, the people from the Guan family also arrived. They were shocked to see the chaos in front of the weaving workshop.
"Ye Li, what's going on?" asked Ye Li's uncle.
"Uncle, why are you here? The village chief has cooperated with others and squeezed me out of Qingshan Village." Ye Li didn't want his uncle and the others to get involved. He originally thought that his uncle's house was far away from the weaving workshop and might not disturb them at night.
But who knew that the noise would be so loud now? I guess everyone in the village knows that there was a fight in front of the weaving workshop.
"This is so unfair! But no matter what, we have to break up this fight first! I think some of them have been beaten up pretty badly! Third brother, let's go! Break these two groups apart!"
Ye Li's eldest uncle and third uncle also rushed into the crowd and started pulling people out.
"Stop it! Don't you want to live a good life?"
A loud scolding sounded above the weaving workshop.
Everyone looked up and found that the village loudspeaker was on.
The old branch secretary's voice came from the loudspeaker, and there was obvious dissatisfaction in the voice.
"You bunch of little bastards, do you still respect me as the old Party Secretary? Stop it immediately. If anyone hits you again, I will call the police to arrest him!"
Sure enough, the old branch secretary’s prestige was still there. Although he did not go to the scene, he had already controlled the fighting situation through a loudspeaker.
At this time, no one was fighting anymore, but they still maintained their fighting postures.
"Just wait! I'll be there now!"
After the old branch secretary finished his speech, he turned off the loudspeaker.
The fighting group of people dispersed and returned to their own camps to check their injuries.
"The old party secretary of your village has a very high prestige. He stopped a fight with just a few shouts into the loudspeaker!" Jiang Xun couldn't help but sigh as he watched the crowd disperse.
"Yes, the old branch secretary led us through the most difficult years, and we all still respect him in our hearts. Moreover, the old branch secretary is an upright and honest person, and many people admire him." Ye Li explained to Jiang Xun in a low voice.
In the year of famine, the old branch secretary contributed all the edible food in his home, allowing everyone to see the character of the old branch secretary.
Later, villagers often asked the old branch secretary to judge right and wrong, and he was able to be fair and just. Over time, his prestige was established in people's hearts.
"Come on, everyone, make way! Let the old branch secretary in!" Guan Gensheng pushed away the people blocking the old branch secretary and brought the old branch secretary to the center of the crowd.
Although the old secretary's legs and feet were not very flexible and he had to use a cane, he was in good spirits, especially his pair of wise eyes, which seemed to be able to see into a person's soul at a glance.
"Li Weiguo! What do you want to do? Is it your job as the village chief to lead a fight?"
As soon as the old branch secretary arrived, he started scolding the village chief.
"Old Party Secretary, I am innocent. It was Ergou who started to slander me. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I hit him!" The village chief covered his swollen eyes and defended himself.
"You're talking nonsense! What I said was all true. Li Weiguo is a villain! He beat me for no reason and cheated everyone!" Ergou jumped up from the ground when he heard the village chief talking nonsense again.
"Shut up, both of you! I can tell who is right and who is wrong!" The old branch secretary knocked the ground with his cane to stop the two from arguing.
"Ye Li, can you tell us what's going on?"
The old branch secretary looked at Ye Li and motioned for her to come forward and explain the situation.
Ye Li nodded and told all about the village chief's bribery and secret collusion with Boss Liu.
The village chief was unhappy when he heard this, and he wanted to scold Ye Li.
But as soon as he called Ye Li's name, the old branch secretary hit him on the forehead with his cane.
"Except Li Weiguo, does anyone else have any objection to what Ye Li said?" The old branch secretary did not support Ye Li's statement on the spot, but turned to other people and asked.
"Ye Li is right! That's it!" Ergou raised both hands in agreement.
"It seems to be the case! Ye Li is telling the truth!" Zhang Xiaohua and the others finally understood what was going on.
No one else had any objections. Seeing the situation on the scene, everyone understood where the problem lay.
"Li Weiguo, why does no one support what you said, but no one has any objection to what Ye Li said? Could it be that the whole village is accompanying Ye Li in lying?" The old branch secretary's words have made it clear, and the village chief knows that it is useless to make any excuses at this moment.
