Hearing that they could sell eggs, everyone was happy. Despite feeling a little dizzy and lightheaded, they carried their baskets and followed the young man back to Jun Ge's courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, the young man addressed the group of people who came to greet him.
"Brother Jun said to collect their eggs, weigh them, and exchange two catties of eggs for eight ounces of salt."
Three pounds of eggs can be exchanged for one pound of rice.
Several people agreed and came up to move their baskets.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
"Wait, that's not what you said just now."
Jun told us that two pounds of eggs can be exchanged for one pound of salt, and two and a half pounds of eggs can be exchanged for one pound of rice.
Why the change of heart again?
We were talking about this just a moment ago, but now this price is just outrageous.
The young man turned around and glanced at Chu Wu; the disdain in his eyes was unmistakable.
What do you mean? You don't understand!
Jun said, "You actually dared to dream of selling it to Old Zhang's family!"
Why do you keep coming back to people who don't want you?
It's too late to tell you now.
This is our price. Take it or leave it. If you're not interested, get out.
These words were quite impolite, and the anger that had been suppressed all day finally erupted.
He punched the man in front of him right in the face.
"You bastard, who did you tell to get lost?"
"You bastard, how dare you lay a hand on me! Didn't you guys see I got beaten up? Beat them up!"
The young man covered his face and yelled, then rushed out from the backyard, along with seventy or eighty other young men carrying weapons.
He started swinging his weapon as soon as he saw them.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the dozen or so of them were trying to deal with the situation while also dodging and weaving.
As a result, all the egg baskets in front of them were overturned and the eggs were scattered all over the ground.
Egg yolk was everywhere on the ground.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Half an hour later, outnumbered, they were beaten black and blue and driven out of the yard.
All the egg baskets were overturned, and all the eggs were trampled to pieces.
Ouyang Zhenyu managed to avoid getting a punch to his face, but he did get two blows to his back.
He can handle seven or eight people, but that doesn't mean he can handle seventy or eighty people.
It was a complete gang fight.
Moreover, they were being overwhelmed by sheer numbers.
The 12 people hid in an alley.
There was a pile of garbage in front of them. If it weren't for the tall pile of garbage blocking their view, they probably would have been chased by Brother Jun's gang.
On the stinking garbage heap, excrement and urine flowed freely, and flies swarmed around.
The twelve young men simply hid in this stinking place.
Chu Wu's eyes were bloodshot and his fists were clenched.
"Wang Yingjun, that bastard!"
He did it on purpose; otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately smashed our eggs.
"Fifth Brother, that's 3,000 jin of eggs! How are we going to explain this to the villagers?"
"The five sixth-grade students are still waiting to see a doctor, and the eighth-grade student can't hold on any longer."
"And Grandma Liu and those dozens of others, if they don't take their medicine soon, they'll be doomed."
"That bastard Wang Yingjun, let's fight him to the death."
"How dare he bully us like this?"
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he gritted his teeth and looked at the young men around him, their faces bruised and swollen, each one beaten like a pig's head.
The anger that had been suppressed for so long finally erupted.
"We can't let this go. He smashed our eggs, and I'll make him pay with his life."
"Yes, pay with your life."
The crowd was filled with fervor.
Ouyang Zhenyu stopped Chu Wu, who looked like he really wanted to fight the other party to the death.
He even drew the knife from his waist.
"Fifth Brother, if you go like this now, you'll only be leading the brothers to their deaths."
You just drew your knife too, do you think you could beat them?
Besides, the other party knows you'll definitely get angry if they smash your eggs.
They were already waiting there. Just think about it, how could Jun-ge suddenly have seventy or eighty people appear out of nowhere?
Could it be that they were caught off guard?
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he grabbed Ouyang Zhenyu by the collar.
"What can we do? They are the hope of the whole village."
The village is desperate for the money to save lives. If I don't get the money back, I might as well just die.
How could we possibly go back?
Seeing that Chu Wu's eyes were red, I realized that even a grown man like me was about to cry.
"Since that Jun dared to do this, he must be fearless and have someone backing him!"
You just rush over there.
That would be suicide.
"If you die, can you bring the money back to the village?"
On the fifth day of the lunar month, he suddenly squatted down on the ground, covered his face with his hands, grabbed his hair, and roared in pain.
"You don't know that the village is waiting for this money to save lives. There are more than 20 sick people in the village."
The village's barefoot doctor couldn't cure this disease; I heard that you can only get medicine from the county hospital.
We sold these eggs to buy them medicine; without medicine, people really will die.
"We can die, but why is living so difficult?"
We've been trying our best to live.
“These are all serious illnesses in the village that people can’t handle. They usually just take some painkillers or dig up some herbs from the mountains.”
But I just couldn't hold on any longer.
“My sister is inside. If we don’t get the money back, my sister is doomed.”
"After my mother passed away, my sister and I were left to depend on each other for survival."
If I have to watch my sister die, I'd rather die here with Jun-ge.
"It's better than watching my sister set off all alone."
Ouyang Zhenyu fell silent after hearing this, it seemed that the situation in the village was not good.
