Chapter 226: Not Here to Steal Pesticides
"What are you all doing here?"
"You came to Qinghewan with sickles and hoes to help with the work? It's not harvest time yet."
"If you are here to cause trouble, you will have to step over me."
As the village chief, Liu Tielian has no choice but to take the lead.
He jumped off the donkey cart, came to the front of the group and looked at the young men in front who were carrying hoes and sickles. He put on a calm look, and his voice was serious and fierce.
"Who are you? Why don't we talk to you?"
"Don't block the way, we are looking for the village chief of Qinghewan."
The two young men standing in the front row rolled up their sleeves and showed off their muscles.
Liu Tielian choked for a moment.
Not everyone in the villages around Qinghe Bay knows about the personnel changes in Qinghe Bay. For example, the two young men who spoke first did not know that Liu Tielian is now the village chief of Qinghe Bay.
They thought that Xu Yong was still the village chief of Qinghewan.
"The village chief of Qinghewan was replaced during the wheat harvest."
"This is the village chief of Qinghewan."
A villager who knew the inside story reminded the two young men in front that things in Qinghe Bay had changed a long time ago and that the man in front of them was the village chief of Qinghe Bay.
Village Chief Hu from Guazhou Bay came out, stopped the two young men, and said, "Don't be rude to Village Chief Liu."
In the spring, Guazhou Bay and Qinghe Bay became enemies because of a dispute over water between the two villages.
Village chief Hu and village chief Xu Yong never had any contact with each other.
If it was Xu Yong standing in front of him, Village Chief Hu would have hit him with a hammer long ago.
The person standing in front of him now is the village chief Liu Tielian. Although Village Chief Hu has "warned" the villagers of his village not to be rude, there is no respect in his eyes.
As a senior village chief of Guazhou Bay for more than 20 years, Liu Tielian is too inexperienced and not on the same level as him.
"Village Chief Hu, what are you doing in our village?" Liu Tielian asked with an impolite tone.
Village Chief Hu glanced at Liu Tiejian and said, "Village Chief Liu, this has nothing to do with you. I hope you won't meddle in other people's business."
This made Tong Huaqiong unhappy.
What kind of person is this? He takes advantage of his age to act like an idiot.
What do you mean it has nothing to do with Village Chief Liu? You, a village chief from another village, brought a large group of villagers here, and it’s obvious that you’re here to cause trouble. If Liu Tielian doesn’t care, who will?
If Liu Tielian doesn't care, anyone in Qinghe Bay can bully him in the future.
Thinking of this, Tong Huaqiong said while sitting in the carriage: "Village Chief Hu, this is Qinghe Bay, not Guazhou Bay. When we get to Qinghe Bay, it is natural for us, the village chief, to make the decision."
"Why are we here in our village? Are we asking for justice so hard that we have to call in people from all the surrounding villages? Could it be that our village has offended all the nearby villages? Even if we have, you have to tell us why, right?"
Because Tong Dajiao's unreasonableness is so well-known, many people in the surrounding villages know the real Tong Dajiao.
Village chief Hu is no exception.
In addition, Tong Huaqiong is now the owner of Taohua Dessert, so everyone dares not underestimate her.
Village Chief Hu said to Tong Huaqiong: "Shopkeeper Tong, this matter has nothing to do with you. We are not here to cause trouble, but to seek justice."
Tong Huaqiong's peach blossom dessert is very popular and has even taken over Sushiyuan. Every village in Yanguan Town knows about it.
Therefore, Village Chief Hu showed more respect to Tong Huaqiong than to Liu Tieshan.
There was no way. In the past, Tong Da Jiao would pounce on him and hang on him when fighting for water. He was worried that if he didn't show respect to Tong Da Jiao, Tong Da Jiao would embarrass him in front of everyone.
After all, Tong Dajiao, as the shopkeeper, is more powerful than before.
Tong Huaqiong felt slightly relieved, as it seemed that they were not here to steal the pesticides.
Tong Huaqiong said: "What kind of justice do you want? Who are you asking for justice? You are holding hoes and sickles, and people who don't know would think you are going to fight. It would be bad if you invite the government to come."
"Village Chief Hu, don't get excited. We are not here to cause trouble. We should not harm innocent people."
Upon hearing about the government, Village Chief Zhang of Yueliang Bay stood up.
During the wheat harvest, County Magistrate Liu went from Yueliang Bay to Qinghe Bay to seek justice for Tong Huaqiong. He followed behind. He heard with clear eyes that County Magistrate Liu's son called Tong Huaqiong "grandma".
Since I met Tong Huaqiong at the entrance of the village, I might as well talk things out to avoid any misunderstandings with Tong Huaqiong.
And he knew that Tong Huaqiong and the Xu family did not get along.
Once this matter is exposed, Tong Huaqiong will be even less likely to show up.
"What's going on? Tell me now."
Liu Tielian looked impatient and wanted Gu Dashu to go to the village to call for help.
But with so many people waiting in front of him, Gu Dashu couldn't leave.
Village Chief Hu said, "Village Chief Liu, Shopkeeper Tong, I won't riddle you either. We are all here to look for Xu Yong."
Looking for Xu Yong.
Tong Huaqiong was completely relieved.
Xu Yong made too many enemies when he was the village chief, so it is normal for him to be bullied now that he is no longer the village chief.
As the village chief, Liu Tielian could not watch other villages coming to Qinghewan with weapons to find Xu Yong. Even if he did not like Xu Yong and Xu Jin, he could not watch them go in.
It's his fault if someone died.
So he said in a deep voice: "Why are you looking for Xu Yong?"
His subconscious mind told him that it was definitely not about the dispute over water last spring.
Qinghe Bay and Guazhou Bay are competing for water, but there has been no conflict between the villages of Yueliang Bay and Qinghe Bay in recent years.
If these villagers came along, it must be something more serious than a fight over water.
He has to ask.
I’m afraid that Xu Yong’s matter will involve the entire Qinghe Bay.
"Village chief, don't waste your words on him. Let's fight our way into Qinghe Bay first."
"Yes, let's go straight to the bastard Xu Yong's house and kill him."
The villagers in Guazhou Bay were very excited.
I vowed to avenge both the new and old grudges.
At this time, the young and strong laborers from Qinghe Bay came rushing over with their tools. The main force was the hired workers from the mountains west of Tong Huaqiong.
Gu Guangkui, who lived outside the village, saw Tong Huaqiong and Liu Tielian being stopped by villagers from other villages with weapons. He thought something big had happened, so he took a detour through the fields to the village and told everyone what was happening. Then everyone came to cheer them on.
Tong Huaqiong gave everyone free sterilization and insecticides. Now their corn is growing well, and they cannot help but be grateful.
"Boss, are these people threatening you?" asked the hired worker of Tong Huaqiong's family.
Tong Huaqiong shook her head.
"Aunt Tong, what do these people do?"
"Big Foot, who brought these people here?"
The village chief Liu Tielian was there, but everyone just asked Tong Huaqiong out of habit.
When people from other villages saw the villagers from Qinghewan coming to cheer with their weapons, they raised the tools in their hands.
Liu Tiejian was worried and was afraid that a fight would break out before things were made clear.
Liu Tielian waved his hand at the villagers holding weapons in Qinghewan and said, "Everyone, please be patient and don't get into a fight. They are here to look for Xu Yong."
Tong Huaqiong asked Village Chief Hu: "What exactly did you want to see Xu Yong about? Tell me now. Otherwise, if the two villagers confront and fight, the government will be alerted and they will be arrested. Who will deliver food to the prison?"
Village chief Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Two days ago, Xu Yong found the village chiefs of several villages around us and said that he had prepared a medicine that could eliminate ear rot and cotton aphids. We didn't believe it at first, so he asked us to come to the corn fields in Qinghe Bay to see the situation. He said that the corn in Qinghe Bay was not diseased or infested because of his medicine. When we saw the corn fields in Qinghe Bay, we found that it was true, so we believed him this time..."
"As a result, we used the medicine he prepared, but ear rot and cotton aphids not only did not disappear, but became more serious. Two days ago, the corn was still green, but today many of them have begun to turn yellow."
When Village Chief Hu said this, his face turned red with anger.
