Chapter 191 Highway Robbery
"Captain Zhang, what are you doing?"
Guo Dongjun walked forward with a smile and handed over a cigarette.
At this moment, they had a large number of people and strong forces. Although they also brought educated youth with them, there were only a dozen people in total, while the other side was very aggressive and had more than 50 people.
He also understood in his heart that it seemed that this matter had been planned in advance, otherwise there would not be this piece of wood lying across the road!
They didn't encounter them on the way here. It was obvious that they were waiting to stop them.
The other party slapped it open.
He said with a fake smile, "Director Guo, I know you are a capable person. I have heard that your forest farm is capable. You brought back a lot of food two days ago. This is another trip, but you have to help our brother units.
The county leaders said that we should be self-reliant and self-reliant, and find our own solutions. We should help each other to tide over the difficulties. We don't need more brothers, but you can at least unload a truckload of food from your truck for us.
There are more than 200 people in our team. Now every household is starving and waiting for this food to save their lives! I will remember your kindness. If your forest farm needs any help in the future, just let me know.
If I stutter, I will take your surname instead of Zhang."
This is really a hard grab.
Guo Dongjun also looked unhappy.
"Lao Zhang, we are not very familiar with each other, but at least we know each other. Although the county leaders said that we should save ourselves, help each other and overcome difficulties together. But even so, you can't take the food from the people in our farm.
The people in your farm are starving, but the lives of the people in our farm are also important. They are also waiting for food relief.
Besides, we exchanged our food rations for wood with real money, not for free. If you really want to unload the food, that's fine! I can't say anything. Saving someone's life is saving theirs. Just tell them how much food coupons are on the market. Comrade Fan is here now.
This grain was brought by someone as a deposit to exchange for wood. You can't let them go back empty-handed. Besides, is it justifiable for you to eat their grain for free?"
Guo Dongjun had already grasped the key point. Everyone on this farm was extremely poor. If the production team had money and food coupons, they would have found a way to buy food long ago.
The price of grain on the black market has skyrocketed like it has wings.
Who has the guts to buy food from the black market now? The original price of ten kilograms of food is only one kilogram of food now. Who can afford it?
Captain Zhang blushed. You know what, these words really made him angry. They wanted money and food coupons, but they didn't have them. To put it bluntly, they were really robbing people by force.
"Lao Guo, you have a forest farm, you have wood to exchange with others, but we have a farm, we can only produce food. Now we need food, do we still need to exchange food with others?
After all, we are brothers, so why don't you help us out and save them in an emergency? First, exchange the wood from your forest farm with them, and then we will make it up to you with money and food next year. Isn't it okay if I write you an IOU?"
But because every household in the team was waiting for him, they had to say this even if it made them blush and have a thick skin, because they really had nothing to offer.
I have no money and no things.
To put it bluntly, it's really a case of getting something for nothing. To put it bluntly, it's just an IOU, and after they get it, they say they won't pay it.
It is common for payments to be overdue for ten or twenty years.
Even the county often gave them IOUs, not to mention the payments between their production teams.
Guo Dongjun laughed, "Old Zhang, it's already this late, and you're still telling me this? Everyone knows that food is precious now. You know that our farm has more people than yours. There are more than 1,000 people on our farm, and this amount of food is not enough! It's not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth, and you want to take this food away with just a promise.
Then in the future, any farm will come and stop us, and take away the grains by giving us an IOU. Do you think it is appropriate to just talk nonsense?"
The others were all nervous. If the talks failed, they would just start fighting.
Captain Zhang's face turned dark. He knew that his reasoning was not valid, but there was nothing he could do. At this point in time, people were out of food and it was really frustrating.
"Old Guo, you see, I am a seven-foot-tall man. I am begging you. Look at the people I brought with me. Although they are all men, they have old and young people at home. They are so hungry that they can't even move. If I had any choice, I would not do such a thing.
The truth is that we don't have anything we need, and we can't give anything we need. Otherwise, if you have anything you like on our farm that can be exchanged for food, I will exchange it. As long as I can exchange it for some food, so that the old and young can get through this difficult time, even if you want my life, I will give it to you immediately without saying a word."
People were silent and just looked at each other. Although the situation was tense, everyone could see it.
The 50 or so men on the opposite side had tears in their eyes. Unless they were completely helpless, who could do such a thing as stealing food? Everyone knew that they were stealing other people's lives.
Those who commit looting and smashing must be held accountable. Are the Public Security Bureau pushovers?
But this is not for the lives of my family members. Even if I have to sacrifice my own life, it is for the sake of everyone in the family, young and old, to have something to eat.
Guo Dongjun's eyes reddened and said, "Yes."
It's all for life.
Who doesn't want to live?
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt a pain in her heart.
yes.
It’s all because of this natural disaster.
In many invisible corners, people make great efforts for a bite of food.
If this continues, the county will really be in chaos.
Just then someone appeared on a bicycle.
As soon as I saw the person coming, wearing a military green uniform and with the national emblem on his hat, I knew immediately that he was a real police officer.
Both gangs couldn't help but hide their weapons behind their backs. This was a serious crime of fighting.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Why are so many people gathered here? Are you not going to fight? It's broad daylight. Are you trying to rebel? Which village are you from? Which farm?"
He Weiming got off his bicycle.
He put the bicycle stand in place, then took out his notebook and came over to ask. He could tell that the atmosphere between the two parties was not right.
Just now he heard someone report that there seemed to be a group of people here with weapons who wanted to start a fight.
Recently, because of the disaster in the county, the higher-ups held a special meeting and told them to conduct more inspections to prevent social unrest caused by the disaster. This gave those lawless elements an opportunity to take advantage of it. As the chief of the police station, he had no choice but to ride his bicycle to check it out himself.
You know what, as soon as he arrived at the scene, he really saw through the trick.
This is more like highway robbery than a gang fight.
The fallen tree in front of the truck was definitely a deliberate robbery.
