Chapter 288 Darkness

Chapter 288 Darkness
After Shen Yuan made these harsh words and then threw money around, the two uncles' brains crashed briefly.

I used to think that Li Fuqing was the village bully, but now I think my eldest nephew is more like a village bully.

Although my eldest nephew is usually very naughty, I have never seen him so "rude"!

Shen Xuan was stomping her feet and watching the fun, with an excited look on her face: "My brother is still very handsome when he is being bossy!"

Li Hongjuan was worried: "Old Shen, will Xiaoyuan get into trouble if he does this?"

Shen Heping trusts his son very much: "Our son is not a child anymore. He should have no problem dealing with this."

As the person involved, Shen Yuan was looking at Li Fuqing frivolously. If he didn't know, it would be fine, but now that he knew it, there was no reason for him to just ignore it.

What's more, the ones being bullied were not others but his uncle and grandmother. Shen Yuan certainly would not tolerate it.

Li Fuqing was choked and speechless. He had never encountered such a situation before. He was used to bullying others in the village and usually he was the one who said such harsh words.

Only then did he realize that he needed to look up to see the other person's face clearly. This young man was not only tall, but also had wild eyes and eyebrows.

Li Fuqing was frightened by his stare, but he didn't want to lose face in front of so many people, so he raised his chin high:

"Are young people nowadays so unreasonable? Can't they even say hello to their elders when they see them?"

In a village, most people are related to each other, not to mention that the two families are next to each other. However, this old guy was rude and unreasonable when he blocked the road, and now that he is weak, he is taking advantage of his seniority.

Shen Yuan didn't tolerate it at all, and said aggressively: "Who do you think you are? You want me to say hello to you?"

"you"

Li Fuqing stretched out his hand, his face flushed red.

He really wanted to rush up and attack, but the other party was a head taller than him and had a very fierce aura.

"Old Li, stop talking nonsense with this kind of person."

His wife next to him knew that it was useless to just talk to this kind of gangster, so she pulled Li Fuqing into the yard and called for help.

The excavator moved very quickly. It had already dug four or five meters in just a short while, almost excavating one side of the wall. However, Shen Yuan felt that it was too fast, so he shouted to the driver, "Dude, dig slower."

The driver didn't know why he had to slow down, but he still made an "OK" gesture.

This was the first time Ji Ya had experienced such a thing. She was actually very nervous and worried that Li Fuqing would really rush up and attack her.

She knew that the couple must have gone in to make a phone call, so she said worriedly, "Mr. Shen, do you want to call some people to help?"

"No need. It's a different era now. There's no such thing as fighting."

Shen Yuan knew that Li Fuqing was so arrogant because he relied on his cousin who was the village chief and the deputy director of the fitness equipment factory, so he must have called the two of them.

"Mr. Shen, although I know that now is not the right time to remind you, next time you encounter something like this, you should not rush in too quickly. What if the other party gets impulsive and really attacks you?"

Ji Ya showed a worried little face. She recalled how Li Fuqing was looking for "weapons" on the ground just now, and she was still frightened.

"okay."

In fact, Shen Yuan was not worried at all that the other party would attack him. This kind of person only bullies the weak and fears the strong, and will be cowardly when encountering someone who is a little bit ruthless.

And even if he really attacked, Shen Yuan would be able to subdue him immediately. With this physique that he had trained for three months, he could easily beat two or three ordinary middle-aged people, and he could also exchange fighting skills at any time.

At this time, uncle Li Baocai also recovered from his shock and ran to Shen Yuan and said, "Xiao Yuan, he must have called Li Jinguo and Li Fulong. When they come, I will say that I called the excavator and bulldozer. Anyway, it's our land, so we don't have to be afraid!"

Although my uncle is an honest man, he is not afraid to stand up when it is time. When he saw Li Fuqing calling for help, he took the initiative to take the blame.

Children raised by their grandmothers are all protective of their children. Even the gentle and polite second uncle took out his cell phone and said, "Xiaoyuan is fine. I'll call our principal. With him helping them find some connections, they can't do anything."

My second uncle is an ordinary teacher in the county middle school. The highest-ranking person he knows is the principal, so when something happens he immediately thinks of the principal.

Shen Yuan held down his hand that was making the call and said with a smile, "It's okay, second uncle. Wait until they get here, I'll take care of it."

Second uncle still looked worried, and then turned to look at Old Shen and Li Hongjuan.

Shen Heping patted his second uncle on the shoulder: "It's okay, second brother, Xiaoyuan is not a child anymore, let's take a look first."

There was chaos in front of Li Fuqing's house. There were excavators digging the wall, and there were bulldozers dumping the excavated debris directly in front of Li Fuqing's house.

The two machines made quite a noise and soon attracted the attention of neighbors who lived a little further away.

They didn't know what had happened, but the conflict between the two families was long-standing, and Li Baocai's family had always suffered. Why was Li Fuqing's wall demolished today?

Some people had a good relationship with Shen Yuan's grandmother's family and recognized Shen Yuan in the crowd. The two luxury cars parked in front of their house also attracted everyone's attention.

"That's the son of the third daughter Hongjuan, his name seems to be Shen Yuan."

"Yes, he has grown so tall, and he seems to have brought his girlfriend back with him. She is very beautiful!"

"The two cars at the door are not cheap. One looks like a Maybach, and the other looks like a G500?"

"What G500? That's a G63. It costs more than 300 million yuan! That Maybach also costs 300 million yuan!"

"The two cars together cost more than 600 million yuan, so expensive."

Everyone looked at each other, and then realized that the digging of Li Fuqing's wall seemed reasonable.

Li Fuqing raised the price and prevented Li Baocai from building a house. The third sister Li Hongjuan and her family returned home in glory and saw this scene. In anger, they directly called for an excavator and a bulldozer.

Li Fuqing was not very popular in the village, so when something like this happened, no one had the intention to step forward to persuade him. Instead, they were tempted to applaud and cheer.

At this moment, an electric vehicle hurriedly drove over to the fork in the road. Everyone turned around and found that it was the village chief Li Jinguo.

"Now there's something interesting to watch!"

"Even if they are rich outside, it may not be useful when they return to Jinzhou Town."

"The third son's son doesn't look like a good person either. Let's take a look first."

"."

Everyone was talking about it, and some even brought stools from their homes to sit down and eat the melon.

When Li Fuqing saw his cousin coming, he quickly walked up to Li Jinguo and passionately recounted Shen Yuan's various "crimes".

Li Jinguo's brows furrowed as he listened. He walked up to Shen Yuan and said with a straight face, "Hurry up and stop the excavators and bulldozers. Be careful not to get out of Baiguoshu Village!"

Shen Yuan had never seen this person before, so he asked, "Who are you?"

Li Jinguo said in a deep voice: "My name is Li Jinguo, and I am the village chief of Baiguoshu Village."

"Oh, so you are the head of the village."

Shen Yuan said calmly, thinking that this was one of the people who protected Li Fuqing, but being able to support someone like Li Fuqing was not a good thing either.

"What's your name? Where are you from?"

Li Jinguo put on his official airs. Although he was only the village chief, he still had some authority in the village.

But Shen Yuan didn't give him face at all, and directly scolded: "It's none of your business! I'm from Xingcheng, how can you, a lousy village chief, control me!"

"you."

Li Jinguo encountered the same problem as Li Fuqing just encountered. He was so choked that he couldn't speak. He thought to himself, where did this gangster come from? How could he be so unreasonable?

The crowd watching from afar were secretly happy. Normally, no one would talk to Li Jinguo like this. The son raised by Li Hongjuan had quite a hot temper!
As the village chief, Li Jinguo certainly couldn't admit defeat in front of so many people, and this was his cousin's house, so he straightened his face and said, "Do you know what you are doing now? It is illegal to tear down other people's walls at will. It is a crime!"

"Did I commit a crime?"

Shen Yuan sneered: "Li Fuqing is building a wall on my grandmother's land. Who is breaking the law? Besides, I'm only digging the wall now, I haven't dug up the house yet!"

"Uncle, come here and tell me which piece of land belongs to our family?"

Li Baocai came running over after hearing this. He thought that since his nephew was so tough, he couldn't let him down. So he pointed at Li Fuqing's house with his chest puffed out and said, "The one on the right is about a dozen square meters."

"it is good."

Shen Yuan nodded, then shouted to the excavator driver: "Brother, there is also this house, dig it for me later!"

Li Fuqing got even more panicked when he heard this. Who would have thought that he would not even give the village chief face? He had not finished digging the wall, but also wanted to dig his house. He was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "You bastard, let's see who dares to dig!"

Li Jinguo asked in a deep voice: "Did your family occupy Li Baocai's land when building a house?"

Li Fuqing frowned: "At that time, my homestead was not big enough, so I took a little from theirs."

"You."

Li Jinguo glared at Li Fuqing, his face darkening: "Did you call Fulong?"

"Yes, he should be on his way here."

The excavator driver was stunned when he heard Shen Yuan's request. He could dig the wall, but digging a house was another matter.

The forklift driver on the other side hurried over and said in a low voice: "Brother, you just told us to dig the wall, not the house."

Shen Yuan blinked at him and said, "Just scare them. Don't dig up the house first. Just dig up the wall slowly."

The forklift driver was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and ran over to whisper something to the excavator driver.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and the construction was still going on. Not long after, a black Regal came rushing over with the sound of harsh tire friction, and the Regal stopped in front of everyone.

Several strong men in their 30s rushed out of the car aggressively, led by a middle-aged man about 40 years old.

Uncle Li Baocai found a hoe from somewhere and stood in front of Shen Yuan with a serious look.

"Lucky Dragon!"

Li Fuqing's "number two" backer came, and the confidence he had just lost returned to him. He immediately ran over and accused Shen Yuan of his "crimes" as he had just done.

When the onlookers discovered that it was Li Fulun, they all secretly worried about Li Baocai and Li Hongjuan.

The public security environment was not as good as it is now, especially in the first few years after Jianhua was established. I heard that Li Fulun was Jianhua’s number one "thug" at the time, and later gradually rose to the position of deputy factory director.

Li Fulong looked a bit ruthless. As he listened, his eyes swept over the two cars, a Maybach and a G63, and an excavator that was demolishing the wall of his brother's house.

Ok?
Li Fulong paused and said, "Why do the excavator driver and the forklift driver look so familiar?"

The younger brother next to him said, "It seems to be Lao Zhang and Lao Wan from our factory."

"From our factory?"

Li Fulong felt something was wrong and quickly ran over to stop the excavator driver: "Stop! Who told you to dig the wall here?"

The excavator driver seemed not to hear and continued working, while the forklift driver ran over and asked, "Director Li, why are you here?"

Li Fulong said with a sullen face: "Hurry up and tell him to stop. This is the fence of my brother's house!"

"Your brother's house. I really don't know."

The forklift driver scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly.

Although he seemed embarrassed, he still had no intention of stopping the excavator driver.

Li Fulong got even angrier when he saw this: "Why don't you tell him to stop!"

The forklift driver laughed dryly: "This is a task assigned by the factory director. Why don't you ask the factory director?"

Factory director? Li Fulong felt something was wrong when he saw the two luxury cars, so he took out his cell phone and dialed.

Li Fuqing, who was standing next to him, noticed that his brother's expression was very serious, and he felt very uncertain in his heart: "Fulong, what's going on? I don't have any grudge against your factory director."

Li Fulong stretched out his hand and pressed it: "Wait, I'll make a call."

Suddenly, a subtle atmosphere arose between the two groups of people who were on the verge of a fight. Those who came with Li Fulong were all security guards from the factory. Fighting was definitely out of the question. They were just called over by the deputy factory director to calm the situation.

But it looked like their trip was in vain. The deputy factory director had obviously met a tough guy, so they just started smoking nearby.

While Li Fulong was on the phone, Shen Yuan also called Jin Zhifa: "Brother Zhifa, what a coincidence, the person demolishing the wall here is your deputy factory director."

Shen Yuan explained the whole story to Jin Zhifa. Jin Zhifa paused for two seconds and then said, "Don't worry, buddy. They are wrong. I will tell the deputy factory director. Let me handle this matter."

"Row."

Shen Yuan hung up the phone after talking to Jin Zhifa. In fact, he had considered doing this matter before. Finding a few thugs might make Li Fuqing's family more disgusted.

But after all, my grandmother and uncle will continue to live here, so we must find a "local tyrant" to come forward, especially since Li Fulun happens to be the deputy director of Jianhua, which makes things easier.

Li Fulun received the second call shortly after making the first call. His face was livid, and he kept repeating a few words with his head down.

"Ok."

"I understand Mr. Jin."

"Okay, let's do it."

After hanging up the phone, Li Fulong pulled Li Fuqing and Li Jinguo into the yard and said unhappily, "Brother, go apologize to their family later, and don't argue about the road anymore."

Li Fuqing was stunned for half a second, then he shouted: "Why! They demolished the wall of my house, and you want me to apologize to them?"

Li Fulong said in a dull tone: "We were wrong in the first place, and you built a house and occupied someone else's land. We are in the wrong in this matter."

"What's wrong with that?"

Li Fuqing hurriedly said: "Fulong, you are the deputy director of Jianhua, and Brother Jinguo is the village chief, why are you afraid of him!"

After all, Li Jinguo is the village chief and is more perceptive than Li Fuqing. Combining the two luxury cars at the door and the two phone calls made by Li Fulun, he can see some clues.

He asked in a deep voice: "Fulong, what is the background of that kid from Li Hongjuan's family?"

Li Fulong sighed helplessly and had to explain: "He is a big boss from Xingcheng, with a net worth of hundreds of millions. He is negotiating cooperation with our Jianhua boss. This is a direct order from the boss."

Li Fuqing opened his mouth to say something, but Li Fulong continued, "I know what you want to say. Actually, losing my job is a small matter. The key is that they haven't done anything ruthless this time. If they really play around, they won't be so soft-hearted."

"You have occupied someone else's land to build a house and a fence. They have plenty of money and can hire two lawyers to sue you to death. Then you will have to pay compensation and have your house demolished."

"This is not the end. If they still want to continue, they can always get rid of the village chief who is the big brother of the country. Do you think that with such wealth, he doesn't have connections in the political world?"

"One of the companies our factory has cooperated with is called Leji, the largest fitness brand in Xingcheng. Their boss in Lu District lost at least 1000 million because he offended the son of Li Hongjuan's family. The key is that he has no place to seek justice."

"Brother, this is not the time of the 2000s. It's useless to show off our bravery. The literary ones can beat us to death."

"People like this are just like pinching ants when dealing with us, so brother, go and apologize and let this matter be over with."

Li Fuqing and Li Jinguo looked at each other, especially Li Fuqing, who felt more and more disappointed the more he listened.

I thought the other party just had some dirty money, but I didn't expect...
After digesting it for a while, Li Fuqing couldn't help but ask, "Is there no other way?"

Li Fulong shook his head.

Li Fuqing lowered his head in silence.

The only sound in the air was the sound of excavators digging at the wall of his house. The bulldozers dumped all the construction waste into his yard. His cousin Li Jinguo and younger brother Li Fulun, whom he had always been proud of, had no way to deal with the culprits.

For the first time, he felt a sense of powerlessness and suddenly felt that the world was so dark.

Outside the hospital.

Shen Yuan had already stopped the construction work on the excavators and bulldozers and left. He had just demolished two walls, which were about 10 meters long. The cost was 300 per square meter, so he would give about 3000.

However, Shen Yuan asked the forklift driver to dump all the construction waste in Li Fuqing's yard. If anyone wanted to clean it up, they could do it themselves!
Ji Ya finally understood at this time why Shen Yuan asked the excavator driver to dig slower. It turned out that it was to prevent the excavator from digging too fast, otherwise the two people would not be able to see it.

"Let's go home first."

Shen Yuan asked everyone to go home.

Before everyone could react, Li Fulun had some reputation in Jinzhou Town. His own brother's wall was demolished, so why did he just walk into the yard without saying a word?

Uncle Li Baocai thought that a fight was about to start, so he went to find a hoe. But now it seemed like a waste of time, so he threw the hoe away and moved closer to his nephew.

"Xiao Yuan, what's going on?"

Li Baocai asked curiously.

"It's okay, uncle. They won't dare to bully our family anymore."

Shen Yuan laughed as if nothing had happened and said, "These people are just paper tigers, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. You can build your house in the future."

Li Baocai still didn't understand the reason. At this time, his second uncle noticed two new cars at the door of his house and exclaimed, "Heping, when did you change the car? Maybach!"

Li Baocai looked over and said, "Maybach?"

Shen Heping laughed and said, "It's been two months since I changed it. It's also because of Xiaoyuan."

"How much money did Xiaoyuan make?"

"."

Shen Yuan was too lazy to be questioned by his family members, so he ran directly into the yard and asked Old Shen and Li Hongjuan to explain.

Grandma doesn't like to worry about what's happening outside. She is burning firewood in the kitchen and cooking something in the pot.

There are actually liquefied gas tanks in rural areas, but a large number of people still prefer to use wood stoves, and dishes cooked with firewood do seem to be more fragrant.

This is a taste that you can't usually taste outside. Shen Yuan could only eat it during holidays and summer vacation.

"It smells so good, grandma~"

Shen Yuan fanned his nose with his hands.

Grandma smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits: "It's Yong Tau Foo. One summer vacation, you kept asking for Yong Tau Foo every day."

"It's been so many years, you still remember it."

"Not many years ago, when I was about your height."

Grandma sat in front of the wood stove, measuring her height. The flickering light of the fire shone on her wrinkled face, making her look particularly kind.

Shen Heping and Li Hongjuan, who were outside the door, finally managed to explain clearly "how their son made his fortune."

It's quite a proud thing to say, after all, their own son has become successful, which indirectly shows that they raised him well.

After hearing this, my uncle Li Baocai couldn't help but say, "No wonder Xiaoyuan was so confident just now."

My aunt smiled and said, "Although Xiaoyuan was so naughty when he was young, he was very smart, so I thought he would have a good future."

"How did you say what I said?"

My second uncle muttered in dissatisfaction.

He is an old teacher, and he has his own way of judging people, having welcomed and seen off so many students.

Xiaoyuan has a very popular personality. He has shown the same sophistication and open-mindedness as his father since he was a child. In addition, he is frivolous and wild, so his achievements are sure to be high.

While everyone was discussing, Li Fulun came with Li Fuqing and Li Jinguo.

Li Baocai was about to stop them, but seeing that their expressions did not show that they were looking for trouble, he did not stop them.

Li Fuqing looked a little uncomfortable. He walked up to Li Baocai, scratched his head and said, "Brother Baocai, I was wrong about the road. I also occupied your land when I built the house. I'm sorry."

Li Baocai and his aunt were stunned. Li Fuqing actually apologized to our family?

This is really like a knife cutting your butt, it really opened your eyes.

"Here is a total of 1 yuan, including the 3 yuan that Shen Yuan's nephew just gave me, and the remaining 3000 yuan that I occupied your land. It's considered that I bought your land."

Li Fuqing handed over a stack of banknotes and said, "I will rebuild the wall, but it will not occupy your land anymore. Don't worry about that."

Li Baocai hadn't reacted yet, but Li Fuqing had already stuffed the money into Li Baocai's hand and then walked into the yard.

Li Fuqing came to the kitchen, held grandma's hand and said, "Aunt, I'm Fuqing. I'm sorry for offending you over the years. I'm here to apologize this time."

Grandma said, "Oh!" "It's Fuqing."

Li Fuqing shook his hand for a while, then turned to look at Shen Yuan, and said with a simple smile: "Nephew Shen Yuan."

Shen Yuan had a blank expression on his face: "Don't call me nephew, that's nonsense. If you have something to say, just say it."

In front of his grandmother, Shen Yuan changed the subject of his words.

"Forehead"

Li Fuqing scratched his forehead awkwardly: "I have offended you a lot over the years, please don't take it as an offense, I apologize to you here."

"Oh."

Shen Yuan glanced at him indifferently, then his eyes swept to Li Jinguo and Li Fulun behind him.

The two of them felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. Li Fulong said apologetically, "Boss Shen, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding today. The 3000 you just gave me has been given to Brother Li Baocai, and 1 has been given as compensation for the land. In addition, we will rebuild the fence and will not cross the line again."

"Okay, got it."

"Then let's go first."

Li Fulun breathed a sigh of relief and walked out with the two of them.

The three of them returned to Li Fuqing's main room. Li Fuqing was still a little indignant: "I am so embarrassed today. I even went to their house to apologize!"

Li Fulong said gloomily, "If you don't apologize today, even if you want to apologize tomorrow, it may not be useful. Brother, I advise you not to mess with their family in the future."

"I've got a few more to blame!"

Li Fuqing slammed his chair and cursed: "I lost 1 yuan today, and I still have to repair the wall at my own expense. I have never felt so aggrieved in my life!"

The scene of Li Fuqing and his two companions entering and leaving Li Baocai's house was seen by the neighbors who were watching the show.

They watched carefully as Li Fuqing knelt down and grovelled, and even gave them money.

This is really eye-opening, to see such a cowardly side of Li Fuqing.

"It's obvious that Li Hongjuan's son is doing well outside. Even Li Fulong and Li Jinguo don't dare to offend him!"

"Yeah, Li Fulong didn't even say a word just now. He took his brother to apologize directly."

"In this way, who would dare to provoke them?"
