Chapter 88 The Troublesome Red Bean

  (Mmm, update 2. Thanks for all your support)

  "Oh dear little sister, I'm here to see your father. Is he in? This time our CEO Li has made a special trip, and that's quite an intention."

  As the voice faded away, a robust man walked in from outside the door, with a wide grin on his face and a mouthful of black teeth, clearly a veteran smoker. His eyes scanned the yard where Zhao Tiezhu and others were seated, and upon spotting the handsome but unreasonable Du Guo Huangtian, the man's gaze narrowed, with a hint of hostility: "Who are these friends?"

  "They are my friends, Wu Lin, I said, this tree we won't sell, my dad is not here now, whoever comes it's useless."

  "Hey, Qianqian, don't be so absolute, by seniority, you should still call me uncle, come, this is General Manager Li."

  A middle-aged man with a proud expression walked in, and as soon as he entered, he saw the red bean sprout in the yard. A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen a naked beauty, and he almost rushed to the side of the tree.

  "What a good tree!" Li stroked the trunk of the tree, his face filled with infatuation.

  Isn't this person an arborophile? Zhao Tiezhu thought wickedly.

  "5 million, I'll give 5 million, sell this tree to me!" Li said with a crazed look on his face.

  Wu Qian's mother walked out from beside her and said calmly: "This was left by the older generation, no matter how much money it won't be sold."

  "Oh my, I'm telling you, Wu Qian's mom, look at your current life, Old Wu goes out every day to paint and write for people, how much money can he make? You see, in a few years, Wu Qian will get married, don't you need to prepare her dowry? Can you afford it with your current income? If not, won't Wu Qian suffer at her husband's house?"

  Wu Lin had a smile on his face, but Wu Qian's mom's expression changed. Wu Qian stood up and said: "Mom, I'll take care of my own dowry, don't worry about it. Wu Lin, I call you Uncle, this tree can't be sold, it was passed down by my grandfather, he said that as long as there are people in the Wu family, this tree must remain."

  "This, Xiao Wu, your work is not done well." Li Zong had calmed down by now and said indifferently to Wu Lin, then turned his head to look at Wu Qian with a smile on his face. "This beauty, I really like this tree, 600,000! Sell it to me for 600,000, I'll plant it in my factory, absolutely won't use it to make furniture!"

  Wu Qian's unhesitating refusal made Li's face look a bit unpleasant, and he coldly snorted before leaving the courtyard. Wu Lin followed closely behind him as they both exited.

  "Sorry." Wu Qian said to Zhao Tiezhu and others.

  "It's nothing, but this tree is really well-grown. If it were put on the market, it would be worth at least tens of millions." Zhao Tiezhu said, looking at the tree.

  "Alas, our family is poor, but we can't forget the teachings of our ancestors." Wu Qian shook her head and sighed. After this disturbance, the atmosphere cooled down a lot. After sitting for more than half an hour, Zhao Tiezhu and others were about to get up and bid farewell. Of course, Zhao Tiezhu and others strongly invited Wu Qian to play in FJ, saying that if she went to FJ, she must contact them. So, Wu Qian's phone number was also left on Zhao Tiezhu and Fan Jian's mobile phones.

  A few people walked to the door and ran into a man with white hair, who was stunned for a moment. Wu Qian happily called out: "Dad, you're back."

  "Hmm, who are these people?"

  "They are my friends, thanks to them today." Wu Qian told his father about what happened today, and his father was grateful again. Zhao Tiezhu hurriedly said that this is what socialist new youth should do. His dad patted Zhao Tiezhu on the shoulder and said that the modernization of our country depends on you guys.

  Just then, a truck rushed over and several people wearing safety helmets jumped off the car with axes and saws, rushing straight into the yard.

  "Hey, what are you doing!" Wu Qian's dad shouted, but these people just ignored him.

  "Dad, they're coming for the tree!" Wu Qian exclaimed, and rushed towards the door. A man with a saw had already entered the house.

  Come on, guys!

  Zhao Tiezhu called out and several others also ran into the yard.

  "Get out of our way, we are from the government. This tree is a rare species and needs to be transplanted to a designated area!"

  The man with the saw shouted, now it's really a society ruled by law, they even know how to find an excuse before robbing something.

  "This is our own family's crop, what business is it of yours? This is my home, get out!"

  Wu Qian's father was even more straightforward, directly rushing into the kitchen and taking out a vegetable knife, looking at everyone without saying a word.

  "This is resistance against the government, you will be held legally responsible!" The man continued to shout, as several people surrounded Zhao Tiezhu and others, trapping them inside.

  The axe in his hand was clearly sharpened, with a sharp edge gleaming, and judging from the aura of these people, it was clear that they had murderous intentions. Zhao Tiezhu's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart, he was secretly thinking that these people must have been involved in bloody incidents before!

  Since you want to resist the government, don't blame us then, got it?

  "Whoever moves, dies!" Fan Jian shouted loudly. The momentum and killing intent were so strong that ordinary people would have been intimidated, but these men were not ordinary. They had all shed blood before, and they didn't care about Fan Jian. Seeing Fan Jian shouting, the first axe was aimed straight at him, causing his face to change color instantly.

  "Ah, I've got a soft persimmon here!" Fan Jian shouted, and the toad grabbed Fan Jian's shoulder with one hand, pulling him back, while sending his own body forward. With a flying kick, the owner of the axe flew out, spitting teeth, and then several consecutive kicks plus a combination of punches sent someone with some martial arts skills tumbling to the ground.

  Get down to business and deal with them.

  The man with the saw shouted loudly, but his body retreated a little backwards. The other few people rushed towards the toad and went away. The toad's hands were light and agile, dodging the axe, while Zhao Tiezhu and others looked on with ease.

  The man with the saw had a slow change in his expression, unexpectedly finding another expert here! He slowly reached into his pocket, pulled out a pistol and it appeared in his hand.

  Don't move!

  He let out a loud roar.

  The toad saw the handgun and was stunned for a moment. In this day and age, there are still people who carry handguns out in broad daylight, swaggering around. Small towns are really small towns, they don't pay attention to appearances at all.

  "Looking for death."

  Zhao Tiezhu's body moved instantly, before the man's finger could press the trigger. Zhao Tiezhu kicked the gun out of his hand with one foot, and with another kick, the man's arm broke off with a loud crack, followed by a stupid pig-like scream.

  Coincidentally, sirens also sounded outside the courtyard.

  How did the police come? Zhao Tiezhu's heart turned around and suddenly became clear.
