"Smelly bitch! You broke my fucking legs, stole my Village Chief position, and now you're even digging up my land!" Chen Tianming trembled with rage, the veins on his forehead bulging. He gnashed his teeth and beat his chest. If his legs weren't crippled, he really wanted to rush over and fiercely fuck this slutty bitch!
Was it easy for him? He had busted his ass for over ten years, secretly stuffing who knows how many red envelopes behind the scenes, just to become the top dog of Shanghe Village, to become the local emperor. Whether it was eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, or swindling and bluffing, he deserved all of it—he had put in the work!
But look at him now: he was a cripple, his son was a useless piece of trash, and his so-called brothers were all acting like cowardly turtles. No one dared to speak up for him anymore. Even his own wife had packed her bags and left. And the only plot of land left to feed his family was gone!
How could Chen Tianming not be frantic?
"Shen Lijuan, you're pushing me too fucking far! Ah! What the fuck did I ever do to you for you to retaliate like this? Are you trying to drive me to absolute extinction?! If you really want my life, just say it! I'll lay my life down right here, right now!" Chen Tianming was almost in tears.
His bald forehead had just a few sparse, stray hairs left, all turning white. Having stayed in the hospital for almost a month, he had lost a whole layer of weight. Who knows if Chen Ergou hadn't taken proper care of his own father, but you could smell a stench of shit on him from a distance. The white shirt on his back had practically turned grey; looking at him made people feel uncomfortable.
"Ergou, bring me a fucking knife! I'm going to die right here at the entrance of the convenience store today! This is bullying, absolute fucking bullying!... Oh my god, is there no justice left?! Heavens above, open your eyes! Are you not going to let people live?!" Ever since his legs were broken, Chen Tianming felt he had no face left to lose. Sitting in his wheelchair, he slapped his legs and wailed bitterly, as if his own mother had just died.
Chen Ergou stood to the side, looking listless. After a trip to the hospital, he had also lost weight. His face was deathly pale, looking malnourished. He stood there rubbing the hem of his shirt like a sissy woman. It seemed that the thing in his crotch truly was destroyed; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to act so effeminate!
"Chen Tianming, out of respect for you being the old Village Chief, I won't argue with you. But I hope you understand: purchasing and requisitioning your land is an order from above, and the property rights no longer belong to you. Legally speaking, it has nothing to do with you anymore, and I can completely ignore you!" Shen Lijuan's pretty face turned slightly cold. This old geezer actually chased her to her doorstep, howling like a starving wolf.
The moment construction started, the father and son lay on the construction site playing dead, making it impossible to work. And now here he was, chasing her all the way to her house to curse at her. Did he really think she was easy to bully?
"Also, let me tell you this: there are still some rotten accounts from when you were Village Chief that I hope you can explain. Where did the missing 138,000 RMB disappear out of thin air?" Shen Lijuan pressed forward step by step, her expression icy. Her eyes glared at Chen Tianming like a venomous snake. "In front of everyone, let's settle this account properly! In a few days, I still have to go report to the Township Chief..."
"You!" Hearing this, Chen Tianming froze, completely at a loss for words.
Chen Tianming was genuinely a bit scared now. Embezzlement, taking bribes—he had done it all. Deceiving superiors and bullying subordinates, the amount was far more than just a hundred and thirty thousand! It was over two hundred thousand!
He had also heard about the last time He Jingwen came down to the village and criticized Wei Wenwu. Originally, he wouldn't have escaped either, but luckily he was hiding in the hospital, and the investigation didn't reach him. He figured as time passed, it would just blow over. Who knew this bitch would bring up old history? Wouldn't he end up in jail?
"Chen Tianming, confess honestly. Why aren't you speaking anymore?" Shen Lijuan sneered, instantly breathing a sigh of relief inside.
She wasn't afraid of trouble or hardship, she was just afraid of people who clung like leeches. Right now, Chen Tianming's life was worth nothing; he had nothing to lose. If he threw caution to the wind, no one could afford to provoke him. Who wants to fight with a cripple? But now, she had no choice but to fight. She could only bring up He Jingwen to scare this old bastard.
The effect was quite good. The old bastard immediately deflated, looking like an eggplant beaten by the frost.
"Brother Tianming, I think you should just let this go. Stop causing a scene. If the land is requisitioned, it's requisitioned, what's the big deal? Aren't there still subsidies and requisition fees? It's not any less than you'd make busting your ass for a year, and you don't have to suffer the physical labor. It's a pretty good deal." Li Sanshui was a known peacemaker, stepping up to smooth things over.
They were from the same village; they saw each other all the time. If things got too ugly, how would they get along in the future? Besides, contracting and renting out the land was a good thing. At the very least, he didn't have to go down to the fields to work every day, and helping out with the work even paid wages. He made no less than working odd jobs outside, and he could still help take care of his family.
"Piss off!" If he hadn't tried to persuade him, it might have been fine, but this persuasion only fired Chen Tianming up even more. His bloodshot eyes widened like a rabbit's. "Li Sanshui, don't you fucking pretend to be a good guy! Hmph, don't think I don't know: ever since this smelly bitch became the Village Chief, all the good benefits have gone straight to your Li family. Of course you're speaking up for her!"
"Money? I don't give a shit about money! I just want my land back! I just like planting crops, what of it?!"
"You..." Li Sanshui was an honest man. Hearing Chen Tianming say this, he put his hands behind his back and stormed off in a huff. Taking good intentions for a donkey's liver and lungs—this guy was going too far.
Shen Lijuan frowned slightly, feeling very displeased. Was this old bastard really going to be this stubborn?
"Shen Lijuan, I don't care about any embezzlement or bribery, I don't know shit! Right now, I'm just asking you one sentence: are you returning the land or not?! If you don't, I'll smash my head and die right here! You just wait and cry..."
"Scoundrel!" She gritted her teeth, her eyes practically glaring out of her head.
This absolutely shameless, completely brazen old bastard! How was this any different from extortion?
Honk, honk... beep, beep...
Several car horns suddenly blared. A cloud of dust kicked up on the dirt road at the edge of the village, and a police car pulled to a stop.
Three uniformed men stepped out of the car. Their faces were covered in aggressive, thuggish flesh, looking quite intimidating. They wore grim expressions, looking at everyone as if they had murdered their fathers. Especially with the bulging at their waists—could they be packing heat?
In the movies, those cops were exactly like this. If they didn't like the look of you, they'd pull their guns and bang, bang, blow you away! Who knew if these guys were just as violent!
"Brother Long Gen, we're here." Fang Zheng walked up to Long Gen, smiled, and handed him a cigarette—a soft-pack Yunyan.
Long Gen looked around. Heh, this old bastard Chen Tianming really is something. He's drawn quite a crowd of onlookers. Broken both legs and still won't behave? Looks like the only option is to throw you in the slammer.
"Hey, isn't that Long the Fool? Son of a bitch, when did he get connections like this? Tsk tsk tsk, look, the police are even handing him cigarettes and lighting them for him..."
"Yeah, did Long the Fool strike it rich or what? Look at those clothes, heh, a white shirt and even a tie. What's going on here?"
"Bullshit! Don't run your mouth if you don't know. What 'Long the Fool'? Little Long is incredibly smart now. I heard the land contracting in the village was all applied for by Little Long at the township level. And those experts and professors? Little Long invited them all."
"No way, wasn't he an idiot? How did he suddenly get so smart?"
"He used to be foolish, but he's cured now! I heard this kind of illness comes and goes. When he's lucid, he's no different from a normal person, and incredibly smart too. Oh, right, I heard Little Long is attending driving school in the city, learning how to drive a car..."
"Tsk, tsk, this former fool is unstoppable now..."
The moment Long Gen appeared, Shen Lijuan breathed a massive sigh of relief. She didn't know why, but as long as this little bastard was around, it was like she had a backbone; she wasn't panicked about anything anymore.
"Long the Fool, you son of a bitch, you finally came back! You broke my legs, pay up! Pay me fucking money!" The moment Long Gen appeared, Chen Tianming started howling.
His eyes bulged like cowbells, grinding his teeth, wishing he could tear Long Gen to shreds. If it weren't for this son of a bitch, how would he have ended up like this? How could his son have his root severed?
"Ergou, get a knife! Hack this son of a bitch to pieces, hurry!" Chen Tianming screamed like a madman at Chen Ergou.
Chen Ergou froze, feeling terrified inside. There were three cops standing right there! Charging over now, wasn't that just courting death?
"Hmph!" Fang Zheng snorted through his elephant-like trunk of a nose, glaring sideways at Chen Tianming. Acting like he didn't exist? He was the Chief of the Liuhe Township Police Station, for crying out loud! Mention his name anywhere and people knew he was a man of status. This old bastard had zero respect for the law, actually daring to curse at his Brother Long Gen—he was giving him zero face!
"Ahem, hello fellow villagers, I am Fang Zheng, Chief of the Police Station. Township Chief He has ordered me to take away all stubborn elements obstructing rural development for re-education!" Fang Zheng puffed out his big belly, stepped forward, cleared his throat, and shouted with a booming voice: "And while we're at it, we will take Chen Tianming and Chen Ergou, father and son, back for investigation! We will strive to give everyone an answer in the shortest time possible!"
"Ah!" Chen Tianming was dumbfounded. What... what was going on? He had just been discharged from the hospital, and now he was going straight to the slammer for investigation? This was way too tragic.
"Ah, I have to go too?" Chen Ergou jumped in fright. "Um, um, I was never an official! What am I going for?!" Chen Ergou instantly sold out his own father.
He had heard the slammer was no place to be. It was full of bandits, robbers, murderers, and the like. Going in there meant losing a layer of skin.
"Oh, so they're here to arrest Chen Tianming..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at Little Long's relationship with the Chief. It's enviable. We definitely have to get on Little Long's good side from now on..."
"Yeah, we used to treat him like a fool, who knew a fool would have his day to turn his life around. Sigh, Chen Tianming has run into eight lifetimes of bloody bad luck. Going into the slammer in his condition, isn't that a death sentence?"
Listening to the animated discussions all around, Long Gen didn't say a word. He just slowly and methodically smoked his cigarette, a harmless, brilliant smile on his face, looking innocent as a child.
"Oh, right, um, Township Chief He also said that raising turtles is a decision made by the township. She hopes everyone will support and cooperate with Brother Long Gen's work! Currently, all matters regarding the turtle raising are fully entrusted to Brother Long Gen! Fellow villagers, this is a matter of getting rich and reaching a moderately prosperous life! If anyone has nothing better to do and likes causing trouble, the Liuhe Township Police Station welcomes your visit anytime!" Fang Zheng added one more sentence. The threat in his words couldn't have been more obvious...
