Although Li Yang grew up in Taojiu Village, most of the people in the village were uncles and elders.
But except for a few close relatives, it's really hard to say how good the relationship is with others.
At most, you can just nod and say hello when you meet, and you can help with small things.
In fact, this is a normal interpersonal phenomenon in ordinary rural areas.
But Li Yang never expected that at this juncture, none of these people would back down. Instead, they all stood on his side and chose to fight to the end.
You know, by doing this, they are completely offending Zhang Yunkai. Although they may not understand Zhang Yunkai, they all know that this is a big shot.
And with Zhang Yunkai's character, anyone who offends him will go to death to take revenge.
For example, what happened this time was his revenge.
But even so, they still didn't back down.
For the first time, Li Yang felt his heart heavy. He looked at everyone and couldn't help but said:
"Uncles and aunts, you don't have to be like this. This is a grudge between the village chief and I and Zhang Yunkai. You shouldn't be implicated in this..."
"Xiaoyang, if you can't speak, then don't speak." An old man with gray hair but high energy, holding a pole in his hand, glared and said angrily:
"You are from Taojiu Village, and you are a junior of our old Li family. We old bones are not dead yet! Can you allow your kid to be bullied by outsiders?"
"Usually, it's fine for us to make a fuss, but as long as we are from the village, we must not be bullied by outsiders!"
This old man's name is Li Kuilin. He is almost eighty years old this year, but he is still strong and strong. He is also a rare elder in the village.
In terms of seniority, Li Yang would have to call him grandpa, but in terms of closeness, it would be a bit far away.
In Li Yang's memory, Li Kuilin was definitely not an easy person to talk to. He was born with a hot temper and would scold anyone who provoked him.
Even though I am older now, my personality has not softened at all and I still go my own way.
Because of this, his popularity in the village was not very good, and everyone was reluctant to approach him for fear that if he said something bad, he would be scolded.
When Li Yang was a child, his family had cows. He couldn't tell the difference between wheat germ and young grass, so he drove the cows into Li Kuilin's wheat field and wiped out a whole field of newly grown wheat seedlings.
I remember that at that time, Li Kuilin was only in his sixties and had very nimble hands and feet. He chased Li Yang for five or six miles with a bamboo stick and beat him until his butt was bruised.
Forget it, Li Kuilin went to Li Yang's family to claim compensation for this, and finally gave up after taking twice the compensation money from his parents.
Because of this, the two families never get along with each other, and Li Yang doesn't have the slightest fondness for Li Kuilin. Even if they meet each other on weekdays, they won't say hello.
But he never thought that the person who had caused such unpleasant troubles in the past was now willing to support a junior like him. This made Li Yang feel even more uncomfortable, and he said with emotion on his face:
"Grandpa Kuilin, thank you, and thank you everyone!"
Li Kuilin snorted lightly and said angrily:
"What's there to thank you for? I just don't want to lose the face of our whole village. Of course, you must really remember my goodness and work hard with the village chief in the future so that everyone can live a good life."
Others also laughed and laughed and said:
"Uncle Li is right, we all belong to the same village. If we just watch you being bullied, what dignity will our village have in the future? We can't be bullied every day!"
"Yes, good people can be bullied. If they bully you today and we don't say anything, we will be bullied in the future too. If a village doesn't even have unity, then it's better to break up!"
"What's more, you and the village chief are the current gods of wealth in our village. If something happens to you two, our village will be impoverished from now on, hahahaha..."
"No, he is the God of Wealth! Of course, the God of Wealth must be protected..."
…
Listening to everyone laughing and joking, as if the difficulties in front of him didn't exist, Li Yang couldn't help but laugh, and solemnly promised:
"Don't worry, everyone. The village chief and I will definitely lead everyone to become rich in the future, and no one will bully us again..."
Everyone in Peach Wine Village was chatting lively as they watched you coming and going.
Zhang Yunkai, who was stirring up dissension on the side, turned black with anger, gritted his teeth and cursed angrily:
"Okay, okay, you are really good. I gave you so many opportunities, but you are not willing to take them, right? You are all going against me, right?"
"In this case, then no one of you can stand and walk today, all of you should be disabled by me!"
"I'm going to turn your peach wine village into a disabled village!"
He was so angry that he grabbed the wooden stick held by the boy next to him and threw it at Li Yang fiercely.
At the same time, he roared at the people who brought him: "Why are you still standing here? Give them all to me, and destroy all these rubbish that refuse to eat and drink as a penalty for me!"
"Of course, if you have any girls you like, you can stay and fuck as you like. Anyway, you can do whatever you want here today!"
As soon as he said this, the eyes of those he brought behind him all lit up, and they all shouted:
"Brother Zhang, are you serious? We can really do whatever we want?"
"You can't." Li Yang snorted coldly, helped Su Qianying up, asked Ruan Hongying to take her to the back, and then sneered:
"I know you are all locals, and maybe some of you are my classmates. I don't really want to take action against you, but if you insist on messing around, there's nothing I can do about it."
"But before that, I still want to remind you that it is against the law to hit someone, and fighting in groups is even more unsocial behavior. The law will punish you severely."
"And raping women is even more sinful. It is also the most disgusting crime in the world. Even if you go to prison, you will be looked down upon by other prisoners."
"So you'd better think clearly. Do you really want to risk going to jail to listen to an outsider and start with us fellow villagers?"
If Li Yang hadn't been able to defeat these people, he simply wanted to give these young people who had taken the wrong path a chance to turn around.
Because of these people, Li Yang recognized them all as local gangsters at a glance. Many of them looked familiar. They were really his old classmates from elementary school and junior high school, but they all dropped out of school early.
Among this group of people, the better ones have graduated from junior high school, the worse ones have not finished elementary school, and their cultural level is basically not high.
In addition, their parents are not at home, there is no one to educate them, and there are very few local factories. Even if they want to work in a factory, they cannot find a factory to accept them.
Poverty and desolation have turned them into gangsters who everyone calls for beatings.
And he is still the kind of cannon fodder who is uneducated, uninformed, and simple-minded, and can just scream and rush forward with a little benefit.
