Second Hell
An hour later.
They turned the house where Guying used to live upside down, but found nothing.
A Shou was a little impatient.
Logically speaking, how could someone like Gu Ying be incorruptible?
"Tie up his mother and beat her. We will stop when Gu Ying pays the money," A Shou ordered.
"No, Master Shou, if you do this, the higher-ups will blame you." Lao Jing knew that even if he beat Gu Ying's mother to death, Gu Ying would not hand over the money. But if the matter got out of hand, Lao Jing would have no chance of getting close to the ill-gotten gains.
"Yes, A'shou," the people around A'shou also began to persuade him. After all, lynching in broad daylight was something that even Manager Ji did not dare to do.
Just when Ah Shou was at his wit's end, Gu Ying sneered, "No money means no money. Even if you kill my mother, I still have no money!"
Gu Ying had always been narrow-minded. He used to complain about the many troublemakers in the village, but since he was removed from his position, the resentment and fear of losing power have made him a troublemaker. Furthermore, he and A Shou had already fallen out, and he had been arguing with A Shou's people for the past few days. Moreover, since the rotation of officials was seven days, he refused to believe that Manager Ji would not save him.
He deliberately talked a little, calculating that Ah Shou wouldn't dare to actually hit him, but he didn't expect that it was this one sentence that made his mother's eyes widen.
"Sir! Inside the wall! Inside the wall," Gu Ying's mother stared at him like a beast and spat, "You unfilial son, have you been hoping for my death for a long time? I am your mother, your real mother! Your father was killed by you! You are such a heartless person!"
Having said this, A Shou signaled with his eyes the person who was holding Gu Ying Lao Niang's shoulders to let her go.
As soon as the force on her shoulders was removed, Gu Ying's mother pounced on him and tried to scratch Hua Gu Ying's face.
"You old thing, just try to touch him! He's going to die anyway, it doesn't matter if he dies early or late," Bianzhen seemed to want to trick Gu Ying into doing her a favor and willingly paying for her. At this time, Bianzhen, like a loving and righteous "wife", stood in front of Gu Ying and pushed him together with his mother.
"You lowly thing, who do you think you are? You are not worthy enough to teach me a lesson on behalf of my son. Do you want to break into my house? Bah, do you know that my son is the boss!" How could Gu Ying's mother beat Bian Zhen? She was pushed to the ground by Bian Zhen in a few moves. She simply lay down and threw a tantrum. As she was throwing a tantrum, she remembered that Gu Ying was her reliance.
"What kind of manager?! What nonsense are you talking about?" Seeing Ah Shou's face sullen beside him, Fenfen quickly stepped forward and slapped Gu Ying's mother in the face, to show his loyalty. Fenfen had lived with her before. This old woman was very mean. She had arranged a wife for Gu Ying in the countryside, and by seniority, she was considered Lao Fu's godmother. This mother-in-law treated Fenfen terribly, and Fenfen didn't believe that there wasn't Gu Ying's mother's instructions and instigation behind the scenes.
But ever since Gu Ying's father became paralyzed, that man followed suit, leaving behind a mess and running away.
After slapping the old woman so hard that one of her front teeth was broken, they all looked at Gu Ying and Lao Fu innocently, meaning that if the old woman continued to talk nonsense, Shou Zhangshi would not be so easy to talk to.
The two blood relatives then turned their heads away and pretended not to see anything, and said nothing more.
“Bang, bang…”
The sound of smashing walls resounded through the sky.
When a hole was smashed in the wall, a large bag of gold and silver fell out. It was obvious that it was Gu Ying's savings over the years.
"Gu Ying, you're greedy, aren't you? It's impossible for a manager to have so much money," Ah Shou asked knowingly. "This is a huge matter. I have to report it to Manager Li."
Gu Ying's legs went weak. He probably didn't expect that such a huge temptation in front of A Shou would make A Shou's greed, which originally only wanted to get a small fine, become so great.
Fenfen and Laojing, the two shrewd men, rolled their eyes and ran out quietly.
Old Fu said innocently, "Manager Shou, you take one third, and let's just leave it at that."
Gu Ying was shaking with anxiety. One third, that was his life!
A Shou looked around and saw that the people around him, including himself, had greed in their eyes.
But A Shou didn't want to share with these people.
After being the boss for a few days, he had some idea of the ropes. He would not benefit from sharing the profits with these people, and one third was too little. He wanted the whole thing, or a ladder to move up.
"There are so many people here, and everyone has seen it. If I agree to you, won't it be the same as Gu Ying?" A Shou had bigger ambitions, and he couldn't help but feel complacent at this moment. These unruly people were so superficial, and their thoughts were so ridiculous.
Perhaps because he was too proud, A Shou actually laughed and said "ridiculous".
His sarcasm instantly ignited the pain of Gu Ying having his life savings taken away. Gu Ying jumped up like a mangy creature, screaming, "Who are you talking about? Who's ridiculous? You're the one who's ridiculous!"
A Shou rolled up his sleeves and slapped Gu Ying with a look of contempt.
A Beta dares to shout in front of him, the Alpha. It's outrageous. It's been a few days and he still hasn't acknowledged his identity. He deserves a beating!
"Hit him." Ah Shou was also provoked into a vicious state by Manager Gu.
A stick of incense.
Manager Li and Manager Ji arrived here one after another.
Following behind Manager Li was Lao Jing.
The person behind Manager Ji is Funfen.
The two groups were stunned when they met.
Finally, one tenth of the gold and silver was given as a reward to A Shou, who had made meritorious reports. Originally, he should have been given more, but he beat people in public, which was unacceptable no matter where he was given the reward.
The remaining portion was divided equally into two parts, with each of the two stewards taking one.
Hu Sui gave Manager Li's share to Lao Jing without missing a cent.
In two days, it will be time for a change of leadership.
Hu Sui conveyed what Li Guanshi meant, "What the master meant is that he can see who is good and who is bad among you. If you behave well, you will definitely have opportunities in the future."
Lao Jing listened to it and decided to "cut off one's own arm" and join Manager Li at the critical moment. It was indeed a wise choice.
Lao Jing did not embezzle the money, but distributed it to the "AA love" thugs around A Shou. After all, if he became the boss one day, he would have to have someone to help him.
These people really revealed to him A Shou's stinginess and dishonesty, and said that if Lao Jing became the person in charge one day, they would definitely support him.
"Okay! As long as I have a sip of wine, my brothers won't starve to death," Lao Jing picked up the wine glass with great enthusiasm and would not leave until he was drunk with these people.
Two days later.
Lao Jing’s number plate was indeed called out.
Lao Jing became the second person in charge after the implementation of the rotation system.
Lao Jing doesn't have any special abilities, but he does know how to behave.
On the first day, he did not take revenge on A Shou, but he also did not save Gu Zhangshi and others from the danger.
It seemed that except for Gu Ying and his friends, he could uphold justice for anyone who came to him to complain.
But three days later, he changed.
"He's not even as good as you, Ah Shou!" Everyone laughed and joked, drinking and complaining about Lao Jing.
After all, A Shou is good at his job and is not a bad teammate. But Lao Jing and his group will complain no matter which team they are assigned to.
Originally, A Shou assigned the job to Gu Ying and the others. Lao Jing, the new official, wanted to win people's hearts. In addition, Gu Ying was already penniless and had no money. He had looked down on him and made unreasonable remarks before. Naturally, Lao Jing would not take the initiative to change their jobs.
There are fewer people working without Lao Jing, and these people have been making a lot of noise these days because they are dissatisfied with someone doing a little less work.
Lao Jing also saw that Gu Ying, whose injuries had not yet fully healed, was yelling and beating his mother.
Fenfen and Bianzhen could not bear it any longer, so they immediately ran to the old well to complain and even rushed to offer themselves.
After this, Lao Jing transferred the two to easier positions.
After this, the two of them became lazy and their true nature was soon revealed.
Someone reported this to Laojing.
"Master Jing, please take care of these two people," said one person.
"...Are you making a false accusation? Why are Fanfen and Bianzhen working every time I go there?" Lao Jing was blinded by lust.
"I sleep until noon every day and only pick up the hoe when you come. Isn't that work?" The other people who worked together responded in unison.
"Am I the boss or are you?" Lao Jing revealed his ugly face, which was the same as Gu Ying's before. "If you keep talking nonsense, you will be the companion of Gu Ying and the others."
He had been with Gu Ying for so many years and had learned the art of humiliating and intimidating people.
So everyone dispersed in silence.
Without Fenfen and Bianzhen, the three of Gu Ying were even more passive and lazy. If Lao Jing sent someone to ask about it, they would either play the victim or ask for the return of personnel.
Gu Ying still had some power over Lao Jing. Lao Jing had been a slave for many years and was unwilling to confront Gu Ying head-on, so the situation remained deadlocked.
But what Fenfen and Bianzhen did to please Lao Jing eventually reached the ears of Gu Ying and Lao Fu.
Gu Ying and Lao Fu were furious and helpless, and had not yet figured out what to do.
Gu Ying's mother was ordered around by these two Alphas, and her originally fat belly had shrunk by two sizes. She was so angry that she immediately followed A Shou's example, and took advantage of the bellyband left by Bian Zhen in the old well room, and went to find Manager Ji to expose the matter.
Lao Jing was quickly removed from his position.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
They refused to admit it without leaving any evidence. Bianzhen was not a pushover either. She immediately begged for mercy from Gu Ying, saying that she deliberately wanted to discredit Lao Jing. In fact, she had not done anything to him at all, and it was Lao Jing's fault for being ungrateful.
In addition, the person who came this time was Manager Ji, who warned everyone and hinted that no matter who becomes the person in charge, they must not be partial to each other or engage in corruption, or take malicious revenge, and that heavy and tiring work should be rotated as much as possible, and not all assigned to Gu Ying and others.
The third person in charge was soon born.
It's Xiaoye.
Having just been reprimanded by the Discipline Manager, Xiao Ye did not rush to eliminate dissidents like Ah Shou, nor did he pretend to be a good guy for a few days and then start to show off his power like Lao Jing. Instead, he followed Guying's example and did things by drawing lots.
Moreover, in order to prevent people from being lazy while working in the same big pot, the bamboo sticks that were pulled out were carefully engraved with the specific amount of work and the number of days required, as well as the punishment for not finishing the work within the agreed time.
Those people in Zhuangzi who usually procrastinate and act cunningly will no longer have any loopholes to exploit.
"Boss Ye, you are this!" Some people who pursue fairness gave Xiao Ye a thumbs up.
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. This is the wisdom of the masses," Xiao Ye said modestly as he had just taken office and had not yet tasted the power. He did not dare to be arrogant.
The drawing of lots began immediately.
At first, the people from Gu Ying were reluctant to smoke, but Xiao Ye shut them up with a sentence, "If you don't want to smoke, take you to see Manager Ji and Manager Li," and they immediately became obedient.
In addition, as time went on, the good jobs were taken away, and the people in Gu Ying became anxious.
When his mother went forward to hit him, she was pushed to the ground by Gu Ying.
Several people were fighting over it, and the place became a mess in an instant.
By doing this, they opened the door for other people with quick minds to take action.
People no longer rushed to draw lots, but instead snatched the jobs they liked from those who were weaker than them.
The order at the scene was broken.
In the end, it was Manager Li who settled the matter.
"Stop, don't move. Anyone who does it again will be expelled from the manor. Manager Ye, you go and remember them one by one," Manager Li said.
But everyone's lot has been changed several times. Some are happy, some are sad, and some are unwilling to give up.
Those who "got" a good lottery ticket were naturally filled with joy. They took the initiative to walk up to Xiao Ye and took out the lottery ticket for Manager Ye to record.
Manager Li stood in the middle of the field, staring intently at everyone present.
Several people in Gu Ying were attacked by everyone because they made too many enemies, and each of them got the worst lottery.
The exception was Lao Jing. When he was in charge, he had already cut ties with Gu Ying and the others. In addition, he was reported by that old woman and stabbed in the back by Bian Zhen. He was very unhappy with them and stood far away from them. The lot he drew was only average and would not be coveted by others. Moreover, he was not good at fighting, so he did not get involved in the melee, which was a blessing in disguise.
Gu Ying and his men were the last to register. Amidst the gloating gazes of the crowd, they became members of a team “fighting side by side” again.
