"Brother, look at us, we're just workers."
The foreman of the construction team was holding a pack of cigarettes and distributing them to the people blocking the road.
"If we delay the construction, we'll have to deduct money from our pay. Please, have mercy and let us pass. If anything happens, you can discuss it with the owner later, okay?"
The leader had a face covered in sores, which made him look disgusting.
At that moment, he was glaring angrily at the construction team foreman and cursing.
"I'll talk to your mother the hell out of this! What the hell does delaying the construction have to do with me!"
The foreman's face also looked rather grim, but he still tried his best to comfort him.
"Brother, let's talk this out!"
"Talk nicely? Fine, you can pass today, but leave me the toll money, 200,000, and I'll let you pass. Otherwise, you can just run over me!"
The middle-aged man with the leprosy skin wore a hint of disdain on his face.
The foreman frowned but remained silent, walking aside to make a phone call.
However, at this moment, Chen Chu pressed his hand down.
"You all go and get to work later, leave the rest to me!"
When the foreman saw that it was Chen Chu who had returned, he felt much more relieved.
With the host family around, everything is easier to discuss.
When trouble arises while working, the worst thing is when the employer is not home.
"Hey, isn't this Chen Chu?"
When the leader of the thugs saw Chen Chu return, his eyes immediately gleamed with cunning.
"Lao Ba, what are you all trying to do, blocking this place?"
Chen Chu frowned as he looked at them, clearly recognizing them.
Back when there were still many villagers living on the mountain, this scoundrel Lao Ba often came over to bully him.
The feud between the two was not resolved until most of the villagers moved away.
"Chen Chu, we've known each other for a long time. Over the years, your Uncle Lai has taken good care of you!"
Lai Laoba touched the big mole on the corner of his mouth and chuckled, "This road in front of your house was built by my brothers and me back then. You've been walking on it for so many years for nothing. Don't you think you should pay for the road?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Chu thought, "Isn't this blatant robbery?"
How much money are you planning to ask for?
Lai Lao Ba was taken aback, not expecting Chen Chu to be so decisive.
"Two...five hundred thousand!"
Lai Lao Ba laughed and said, "For just 500,000, this road will belong to your Chen family from now on!"
"Five hundred thousand?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Chu laughed in exasperation, but he turned to the foreman and asked, "Your team should all have insurance, right?"
The supervisor was taken aback, then asked, "I...I bought it, why?"
Chen Chu pointed at Lai Laoba and his gang, and said coldly, "Since you've bought insurance, you don't need to worry about compensation! I'll give you 500,000 yuan to just run him over. Anyway, the insurance will cover it if you kill him!"
Upon hearing this, the foreman began to scrutinize Lai Laoba.
"Mr. Chen, this is not an easy task."
“However…” the foreman changed the subject, “because of Secretary Bai’s connections, we’ll take this job!”
As he spoke, the foreman shouted to the people behind him, "Where's the bulldozer? Drive it over here and run him over. I'll give you 200,000! The company will handle the lawsuit for you."
Lai Laoba and his gang of thugs who terrorized the village had never witnessed such a scene before, and they were all terrified and wanted to run away.
"Chen Chu, this is murder! Murder is punishable by death!"
Lai Lao Ba stood by the roadside, still stubbornly arguing.
"Only intentional homicide warrants a life-or-death penalty. Didn't you see we're under construction here? Besides, they've all bought insurance. Don't worry, whether it's 800,000 or 1 million, the insurance company can afford it!"
Chen Chu crossed his arms and spoke leisurely.
"As for this money, you definitely won't be able to spend it all, but your wives can take the children and let their stepfathers spend it!"
Chen Chu had plenty of ways to deal with these idle hooligans and scoundrels.
Upon hearing this, these people clearly sensed that something was amiss.
"Myth brother, how about we let it go today and get our revenge another day!"
Several thugs said the same thing.
They were unarmed, and Chen Chu wasn't alone on the other side; there were also so many construction workers.
Those rows of construction vehicles are no joke.
Old Eight narrowed his eyes and said.
"Chen Chu, you just wait, let's go!"
Lai Laoba and his gang slunk away, but the construction team foreman gave them a warning.
"Boss Chen, it looks like they'll come back for revenge."
Chen Chu said with a smile, "It's okay, you guys do your job well. If something like this happens again, just run it over. I'll pay for it if anything happens!"
Chen Chu had an air of wealth and arrogance.
The foreman didn't say much and led the workers to continue working.
The basic structure of Chen Chu's house is now complete; all that's left are some minor tasks.
I estimate it will be ready in a few more days.
After looking around briefly, Chen Chu arrived at the Martyrs' Cemetery Management Office.
Goodness, Zhang Xiaotuan and Uncle Meng are happily playing duo queue!
Chen Chu peeked over and saw Uncle Meng looking distressed as he helped Zhang Xiaotuan.
"Uncle Meng, get him! He just killed me, kill him!"
"Xiao Tuan, um, I'm a support player now..."
"I don't care, I'll be unhappy if I lose!"
"Oh my God..."
Chen Chu chuckled to himself.
Meng Zhengyang pulled him along, saying, "You come too in a bit!"
"What?" Chen Chu was taken aback.
"Yeah, Chen Chu, you have to play support for me too. I can't keep up, and we still can't win this stupid game!"
Zhang Xiaotuan gritted her teeth; it was obvious she had lost quite a few games this morning.
Chen Chu shrugged. "Let's play then!"
In the afternoon, the construction team finished their work, and Chen Chu came to the front of his own courtyard. Looking at the villa that was already taking shape, he couldn't help but feel quite emotional.
"Chen Chu, it looks like we can move in this summer!"
Zhang Xiaotuan ran around in the yard, looking here and there.
He looked very happy.
Chen Chu smiled slightly, "I've already had Secretary Bai spread the word. Everything needs to be done quickly; spending a little more money is nothing!"
Just then, a loud shout came from the doorway.
"Chen Chu!"
Chen Chu was taken aback, turned around, and found that Lai Laoba and his group were standing at the door.
Moreover, these people were also carrying long, narrow fruit knives, steel pipes, and other similar items.
It's obvious these people are here to cause trouble.
"Are you going to come here to collect tolls again?" Chen Chu asked, frowning.
"Hmph, toll fee?"
Lai Laoba sneered, "I'll collect both the toll and the rent from your land!"
