Chapter 186: Group Fight? Who's Afraid of Who?
Gu Xixi glanced at Chen Dafu and knew that he said this on purpose for Master Gu to hear.
He nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, although we didn't catch him red-handed before, he just admitted to stealing himself. Did you all hear it?"
The employees expressed their willingness to serve as witnesses.
Master Gu's face turned pale and blue, and he hated himself for speaking so clearly in his anger.
He went to the wheat field to cause trouble today, venting his anger on one hand, but his real purpose was to extort a huge sum of "damage compensation" from Gu Xixi.
Taking the initiative to call the enemy to task, negotiating with sweet words and playing the emotional card, and threatening, all three methods failed to work.
Mr. Gu thought about his family's losses and then heard that Gu Xixi was going to sue him. He was so frightened and angry that he resorted to the last method.
"Oh! Help! Gu Xixi hit someone!!"
Master Gu yelled loudly, and at the same time slapped his thigh and rolled to the ground.
"Someone is being beaten! Help! Gu Xixi is relying on his wealth and power to disrespect his relatives and elders! He brought a bunch of hired workers to beat up an old man like me!"
This field of wheat had been trampled down before, and the ground was covered with turned-up dirt.
Master Gu rolled around in the wet mud, his body and face were covered in dirt, and his clothes and hair were in disarray.
Gu Xixi, Chen Dafu and others watched coldly and did not intend to stop it.
Chen Dafu said, "Boss, this old man has no other tricks but to throw a tantrum."
Gu Xixi calmly watched Master Gu perform, "He made such a big noise, he must be trying to call everyone in the village to support him."
However, Gu Xixi was not a newcomer, and she knew very well that most people in the village were reasonable.
So she was not afraid that Mr. Gu would make a big deal out of it.
If worst comes to worst, there is still the Qingtian County Government Office above.
After the death of the previous county magistrate, the new county magistrate was either General Huo's man or Mu Nanzhao's man.
The new county magistrate will surely be upright and strict, and will make fair judgments according to the law.
Master Gu rolled over and over, howling and crying as if he was really being beaten in the wheat field.
Gu Xixi whispered to the workers, "Let's all step back and leave enough space for him to get out."
After everyone had distanced themselves from Master Gu, Gu Xixi thought for a moment and said, "Don't hold the farm tools in your hands. Put them down first."
Chen Dafu said cautiously, "Why don't we put the farm tools somewhere else, so that if someone sees us later, they will think we beat up the old man and we won't be able to explain ourselves."
Gu Xixi looked outside the wheat field and said, "You can't take it away. It might be useful if you leave it here later."
The hired hands looked at each other.
Gradually, villagers gathered together.
Hearing the discussion, Master Gu howled even harder, "Don't hit me! I just used the bucket you used to rinse water and water the fields. Why are you so cruel as to beat me to death!"
"Xixi! I am your second grandfather after all. Even if I don't have any favors to you, I still have family affection for you!"
Chen Dafu frowned and asked two young workers to go to the field beside the road to check the situation.
He looked at Xixi again, but saw that she had a stern expression and said nothing, as if she was waiting for something.
Soon, one of the young workers came running back hurriedly, pushing aside the straw.
"Oh no! In addition to the people here who are just watching the fun, there is another large group of people coming on the road. They all have weapons in their hands and look very aggressive. It is obvious that they are here with ill intentions!"
Mr. Gu, who was lying on the ground, paused and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.
Then he shouted at the top of his voice, "Help! Gu Xixi set up a trap and used fake fertilizer to reduce my wheat yield! My whole family will starve this year! I just asked for justice, but she beat me up. She wants to destroy our entire family!"
Chen Dafu and others looked at Gu Xixi.
The boss hasn't said anything yet, so even though they are anxious, they still remain calm.
"Boss, there are so many of them, but they came so quickly. They must have discussed this in advance."
"I'm afraid these people will take advantage of the situation to cause chaos. If they really start to smash and destroy things, our wheat fields will be in danger."
"Just tell us what the boss needs us to do!"
Gu Xixi looked around and said solemnly, "Come on, follow me to the main road to meet them."
The wheat harvest will be here soon, so even if fighting breaks out, it cannot take place in the wheat fields.
Gu Xixi took the lead and walked towards the end of the field.
Chen Dafu winked at the others, and they picked up the farm tools on the ground and followed Gu Xixi's footsteps without hesitation.
As expected of the boss, he didn't let them put the farm tools back. He must have anticipated this moment.
But they are not pushovers. If anyone wants to touch the wheat fields today, ask the hoes in their hands first!
Master Gu rolled around a few times and opened his eyes to find that there was no one around him.
He got up and looked around, his eyes rolled back, then he crouched down, hid in the straw, and moved forward little by little.
He hasn't achieved his goal yet, so he can't just give up.
Gu Xixi has already led people onto the main road.
Mrs. Qin ran over through the crowd, holding a shovel in her hand, and panted, "Luckily I made it in time. I just heard that the Gu family was going to cause trouble here, so I hurried over."
"My husband has gone to inform the village chief and will be here soon."
"If a fight breaks out, the more people we have on our side the better."
It was clearly a tense moment, but Gu Xixi looked at Mrs. Qin and smiled, "Thank you."
"I'm lucky to have a friend like you who is willing to fight with me."
Mrs. Qin was startled, and shyly punched Gu Xixi, "Hate it! Why are you saying such inappropriate things?"
At this time, the group of people who came to cause trouble had already approached, led by the sons and daughters-in-law of Uncle Gu and Uncle Gu II.
Gu Xixi didn’t recognize the rest of the people.
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding villagers, these people included relatives from the neighboring villages of the Gu family, as well as several relatives from the in-laws' side.
At a glance, there were at least forty or fifty people, each holding a weapon in their hands.
Gu Xixi couldn't help but sneer.
The two old men had really planned this for a long time.
I don’t know what kind of benefits I promised to others that allowed me to get all the relatives from near and far to come and help!
The other party stopped and stared at Gu Xixi at a distance of about ten steps. The people on Gu Xixi's side were not willing to be outdone.
Chen Dafu waved his hand and led all the employees to stand in front of Gu Xixi, lined up in a row.
Everyone had a grim face and pounded their hoes into the ground, as if they were one man blocking the pass against ten thousand.
Uncle Gu's eldest son, Gu Youfu, winked at the person beside him.
Master Gu's sons understood and spoke up, "Niece Xixi, I heard that my father was beaten in your field. Where is he now?"
"My father is so old, if anything happens to him, we will never forgive you!"
"That's your second grandfather. How dare you lay hands on him? That's outrageous!"
Gu Xixi looked at them, her red lips curled up, as if she had heard something interesting.
"You haven't even seen him yet, how can you be so sure that I beat him?"
"Or..."
Her eyes suddenly darkened, "Did you discuss all this in advance?!"
