Lin Tongxi rushed over and found that the Li family and the Zhao family were already in a standoff, and even Zhou Tiezhu and others were present.
"Li Ershun, you people with the surname Li can't even stop me, Zhou Tiezhu?" Zhou Tiezhu puffed out his chest and looked down at Li Ershun, who was a little shorter.
"How funny! You guys are cutting down trees like crazy. There are so many fewer trees around here that our Li family has no use for them. Why should we give them all to you?" Although Li Ershun is not as strong as the other party, it does not mean that he will succumb to the other party's tyranny.
"Brother Tiezhu, we always remember your help. We can turn a blind eye to other things, but these trees can no longer be used by others!" This time it was Li Wenyuan, the son of the former village chief Li Changhe, who spoke.
Zhou Tiezhu was angry and wanted to grab Li Wenyuan, but after thinking about it, he grabbed Li Ershun who was easier to bully.
"Have you tried using a fist as big as a sandbag?" Zhou Tiezhu clenched his fist and threatened Li Ershun.
Unexpectedly, Li Ershun was not intimidated this time. Instead, he acted arrogantly: "If you dare, come and beat me! This is the rule set by our Li family! If you dare to hit me, my family will rush over and beat you up!"
After saying that, the Li family members also followed Li Ershun's words, picked up their weapons and assumed fighting postures.
"Tiezhu boy! Don't be afraid, we, the Zhao family, will support you!" Clan leader Zhao Deshan stepped forward first, and then ordered the Zhao family members who stood up to get ready.
The outsiders on the side were watching the show in silence, no one stepped forward to intervene. Only Zhang Shulan wanted to intervene, but her husband stopped her, saying, "Shulan, why do you always get involved in these things? I usually put up with it, but now that it involves someone from my Zhou family, I won't allow you to meddle in other people's business this time."
"Mom, don't go, I'm scared." The child next to her also grabbed Zhang Shulan's sleeve to stop her.
"Oh... okay, I'll go back to the house to work." Zhang Shulan left with the child in her arms and returned to the house.
Seeing Zhang Shulan like this, the others were even more unwilling to care. Besides, they didn't want to offend these three parties. After all, they were just small families, and there would be no benefit in being excluded.
Chen Yunxuan couldn't help but feel chilled when he saw everyone like this.
He has seen a lot of this kind of thing recently, and everyone just stood by and watched, completely losing the unity they had when dealing with the influx of refugees before.
In order to persuade everyone, Chen Yunxuan walked to the middle of the three parties and asked about their situation.
The matter is simple. Due to the destruction caused by the influx of refugees, many houses and tools need to be repaired, which requires wood and iron ore.
Coincidentally, the timber is mostly located in the area of the Li family, while the iron ore is located in the area of the Zhao family.
At first, the two families allowed each other to collect raw materials, but as more and more people came to collect, the Zhao family became unhappy and refused to allow the Li family to go.
When the Li family heard this, they were enraged and refused to allow anyone except the Li family to use it.
There wasn't enough wood to begin with, and those people surnamed Li were reluctant to use it, but the others cut it down like the trees were free!
No matter how Chen Yunxuan tried to persuade them, neither side was willing to give in.
Lin Tongxi couldn't bear it anymore and pulled Chen Yunxuan over: "Forget it, Brother Chenxuan, your persuasion is useless."
"Then... is there going to be another trial?" Chen Yunxuan asked.
"No, things are different now. It's become a collective interest, and it's hard to find an individual to make a breakthrough." Lin Tongxi shook his head and pointed out the reason why the villagers of Qingshi Village kept quarreling: "We overlooked a particularly important issue before, which is why the Li family and the Zhao family kept fighting."
"Now I understand. It's nothing more than a dispute between Iron and Wood."
"As long as this conflict is not resolved, the Li and Zhao families will continue to fight, because these are necessities of life. Whoever uses more will have a problem with the other side."
Chen Yunxuan nodded, thinking about Lin Tongxi's words.
Previously, they were only concerned with dealing with individual cases and indeed ignored this issue.
Originally, Lin Tongxi wanted to deal with it, but he didn't have enough prestige and had other things to do, so he delayed it.
But at this point today, Lin Tongxi and his team must resolve it as soon as possible, otherwise another fight will begin.
What's worse is that since Chen Yunxuan became the village chief, many villagers have begun to disobey his orders.
He said okay, but then continued to do his own thing.
Since the Li family had no one from their family to serve as the village chief, they no longer cared about the interests of the village, but instead focused on maintaining the interests of their own Li family.
The same goes for the Zhao family. They are not village chiefs and do not care about the interests of the village.
As for Zhou Tiezhu... the reason is really strange. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be that kind of person.
In any case, Lin Tongxi realized that they could not go it alone and had to pull in the leader.
Moreover, we should not be able to involve Li Changhe and Old Lady Zhao this time. They have already retreated behind the scenes, and the future will always be dominated by this group of people on the surface.
"Brother Chenxuan, listen to me..." Lin Tongxi leaned close to Chen Yunxuan's ear and told him about his plan.
After saying that, Lin Tongxi pulled Zhou Wenbin, who was sitting next to him, over and asked about Zhou Tiezhu's situation: "What's wrong with your brother recently? He seems to have a bad temper, which is unlike him."
"Brother Xi, you don't know what kind of person my sister-in-law is. I'm telling you, don't tell anyone." Zhou Wenbin explained the reason in a low voice.
It turned out that Zhou Tiezhu's wife was very vain and always asked Zhou Tiezhu to be active so that she could become the village chief while Li Changhe was too old.
Zhou Tiezhu originally had this intention, and since he also loved to stand up for the weak, he became a caring big brother and resolved conflicts around him.
