Chapter 126125: Hanging Red and Setting Off Fireworks
"Secretary Xu, Captain Zhou," Zhou Huaijun covered his head and looked at the two men and said, "I was collecting eels in Guanyin Brigade this afternoon... If you don't believe me, you can go and ask the people in Guanyin Brigade, did Ye Dashuang follow me and scold me all the way?
I was so angry that I had a fight with him. When the youngest brother came to pick me up, he didn't even have time to wash his face when they rushed to my house and demanded compensation and cursed my mother. Also, when he left, I saw him carrying the eel and walking away. "
Secretary Xu looked at Ye Dashuang, "What do you say?"
Ye Dashuang also stood up, holding his head, and pointed at Zhou Huaijun, "Secretary Xu, I scolded him because he stole my business first. But when we came out of Guanyin Brigade, he was the first to hit me.
I don’t know when the eel bucket I placed on the tractor path got knocked over into the winter paddy field.”
"Shame on you!" Zhou Huaijun pointed at his nose. "When you came, you clearly said that I dumped all of your 100-plus kilograms of eels into the winter paddy fields. Now you're saying that I knocked them down during a fight!"
Ye Dashuang: "I was a little panicked just now, and I said the wrong thing. You bumped into me on purpose."
Yang Chunyan sneered, "A bucket filled with more than 100 kilograms of eels will fall over with just one bump. Your bucket is pointed, so it's almost impossible for it to stand still."
Zhou Huaian stepped forward and pointed at Ye Dashuang, "I think those eels were 100% hidden by you, a bastard, and you wanted to keep them for yourself!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Ye Dashuang looked at Ye Chunhui and the others in a panic, "I didn't do that. It was really Zhou Laoer who knocked me down..."
Several people from the Ye family looked at Ye Dashuang and felt that what Zhou Huaian said was not impossible!
"Hmph!" Zhou Huaian sneered, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. When I went to pick up my second brother, there were two people from the Guanyin Brigade walking behind me. Whether the yellow eel fell or not, you can find out by asking them."
Yang Chunyan interrupted and said, "Huaian, don't say so much to him. Since more than 100 kilograms of eels have been dumped into the winter paddy fields, the fields must be full of eels. Let's go and see. Maybe there are still people from the Guanyin Brigade catching eels in the fields!"
Secretary Xu saw through the trick and frowned at the Ye brothers. "What do you think?"
Ye Dashuang and Ye Xiaoshuang didn't dare to say anything. Ye Chunhui looked at Ye Dashuang and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, did you hide the eel?"
Ye Chunsheng hurriedly pulled him and said, "Brother, let's talk about it after we get back!"
Captain Zhou glanced at the Ye family members and said, "Secretary Xu, I think we should go to the winter paddy field together and see who is lying."
Secretary Xu nodded and said, "You can go and take a look!"
"Yes!" Zhou Huaian nodded readily and looked at Ye Dashuang, "Let's go to the Guanyin Brigade and see for ourselves!"
Ye Dashuang poked Ye Xiaoshuang secretly, and she looked up at Secretary Xu, "Secretary Xu, it's not easy for a woman like me to earn money to raise a child. When the eldest brother and his friends saw the second brother coming back with a bruised face, they said that the eel was knocked down.
When they thought about how many tens of dollars' worth of things were gone, they couldn't help but feel distressed and anxious, so they came to Zhou's house impulsively. I can apologize to Aunt Zhou and the others!"
"Bah! You are so shameless!" Zhou Huaian looked at Ye Xiaoshuang with disdain, "Now that you can't get anyone to blame, you start to act pitiful. I'll chase you home, beat you up, and then apologize. Do you want to do it?
He looked at Ye Chunhui and the others with a sullen face, "Do you really think that the Zhou family is a place where anyone can take advantage of it? I'm telling you, it's not that easy!"
At this moment, he felt that Cai Ermei was a pig. For the sake of such a woman, she was willing to steal his wife's private money to help her.
Zhou Huaijun touched the teeth marks on his face and said, "Pay for the medical expenses and save my face!"
Ye Xiaoshuang, "Your mother scratched my face, why didn't you tell me?"
"You still have the nerve to do that?" Mother Zhou pointed at Ye Xiaoshuang and said, "Hang red, apologize, and pay for the medical expenses. You can't do any of this less!"
"Secretary Xu, look..." Ye Xiaoshuang, with a face full of shredded carrots, looked at Secretary Xu with grievance.
Secretary Xu frowned and looked at her, then turned to look at Captain Zhou, "The Ye family indiscriminately accused Zhou Dasong's family of beating people, so they should compensate his family for their losses. Captain Zhou, am I right?"
Captain Zhou nodded, "I agree!"
He was extremely fed up with Ye Xiaoshuang, a widow who refused to remarry and was restless. She also secretly opened a gambling table at home, ruining the reputation of their team.
If he wasn't afraid that the fight would escalate into a bigger issue and he, as the team leader, would also have to take responsibility and the Zhou family would have to spend a few days in jail, he would wait until the Zhou family had given the Ye family a good beating before showing up.
It seems that I have to take some time to go to the town and ask someone to close the casino for her. It would be best if those green-headed flies were sent to jail for a few days.
Ye Dashuang pointed at the Zhou family and said, "Secretary Xu, this is unfair. Our two families fought each other, and someone from the Zhou family was injured, and someone from our family was also injured!"
"You deserve to be beaten to death for causing trouble here!" Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Huairong rushed in breathlessly holding carrying poles, followed by Zhou's father, the old man and some villagers.
Zhou Huaishan ran into the yard and rushed to the Ye family, punching Ye Dashuang in the face, "I'm going to hit you, what do you want?"
"You~" Ye Dashuang clenched his fists, and Ye Chunhui quickly pulled him back, "Secretary Xu, look, we didn't do anything!"
Secretary Xu shouted, "Stop it, Third Brother!"
"For Secretary Xu's sake, I'll let you go first!" Zhou Huaishan turned around and saw the teeth marks on Zhou Huaijun's face, and pulled him over, "Look, everyone, the men of the Ye family, if they can't win a fight, they'll just bite you like a dog."
"The people from Fangtian came to Funiu to cause trouble. Beat them to death!"
Several men from the Zhou family's neighboring room also squeezed in. "That's right, do you think there's no one left in the Zhou family? If you want to fight, I'll fight with you today!"
Upon seeing this, the Ye family said nothing and was caught in a dilemma.
After Mr. Zhou found out the reason, he turned to look at the Ye family and said, "Last time you deliberately raised the price to buy yellow eels, my youngest child said that yellow eels are not only found in the Funius Brigade, so at worst we can just go farther to buy them.
These days you often steal my grandson's business. I think less trouble is better than more trouble, so I keep telling them to forget it. Today, the eel seller said that your weight is not enough, and he would rather sell it to Lao Er at 2.8 yuan per pound than to you.
Ye Chunming kept chasing my second son and scolding him all the way, and even made false accusations... My Zhou family doesn't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either. If you want to fight or whatever, the Zhou family will be there for you!"
All the men in the Zhou family stood beside the old man, "Yes, I'll keep you company!"
The people watching the fun went wild, "After all this time, Widow Ye's scales are still not big enough? No wonder I felt something was wrong last time!"
"Yes! If I sell it to the Zhou family, it's only one cent less per pound. If I sell it to Widow Ye, it's three cents less per pound."
A woman pointed at Ye Xiaoshuang and said, "I never sell eels to her! You shameless bitch, I've set up a stall to sell them openly, so what's the big deal if I give you two taels less!"
"Old Song, is it because Old Song loves to go to Widow Ye to draw cards that you don't sell it to her?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
If A brings bad luck to B's family due to certain behaviors, B can ask A to hang red and set off firecrackers to eliminate the bad luck. In serious cases, B may even ask A to drink wine and invite a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits.
Requirements for hanging red silk cloth: generally at least 1.2 feet, and at most 1.2 feet. Hang it on the door to ward off bad luck!
