Chapter 122: The Two Donkeys

  Lin San was very curious, what exactly made Grandpa so angry? In Lin San's impression, Grandpa had a good temper, even if he encountered something unpleasant, at most he would drink some wine alone, and rarely lost his temper in front of family members.

  Lin Wanshan glanced at Lin Dahai: "You tell Xiao Sanzi."

  Lin Dahai sighed: "Still because of Er Lu Zi from the east end of the village."

  "Second Donkey?" Lin San's mind flashed a tall and thin man wearing glasses, this Second Donkey was a notorious rascal in the village, idle and unemployed every day, already in his 30s, still relying on his parents for support.

  "This second donkey somehow got some money and wanted to build a two-story building in the village, okay, fine, but he actually occupied the small road on the east side. Your grandfather went to persuade him, but was scolded by the second donkey instead. At that time, if I hadn't stopped him, your grandfather would have fought with the second donkey." Lin Dahai said.

  Lin San frowned: "The second donkey occupies the small road, and the other villagers don't care?"

  Lin Dahai shook his head: "That path is narrow in itself, the road surface is not flat, and the surrounding area is full of withered grass. Villagers generally don't take that road."

  "Since that path is so difficult to walk, why are you still so concerned about it?" Lin San asked in surprise.

  Lin Dahai sighed: "If it were before, I wouldn't care about this trivial matter. However, the large breeding shed I built last year is just beside the small road not far away. If the two donkeys really block the road, then in the future, I can only go to the breeding shed from the west end of the village, which will take at least half an hour more than usual."

  "It's not just half an hour, at least it's an hour, one east and one west, the difference is far!" Lin Wanshan coldly snorted.

  "I can run to the greenhouse..." Lin Dahai said slowly.

  "Why take a detour when there's a shortcut?" Lin Wanshan glared at Lin Dahai.

  "This scoundrel is really too much! I'm going to go find him right now!" Xu Qiujin was a hot-headed person, she tore off her apron and rushed towards the door.

  Lin Dahai hastily stepped forward and grabbed Xu Qiujie: "Qiujie, calm down, don't be impulsive."

  "Everyone has bullied me to the top of my head, how can I still be calm!" Xu Qiujie shouted loudly.

  Gu Jialan also came over to persuade her.

  Xu Qiujie was very stubborn and no matter who persuaded her, it was useless. She insisted on going to find trouble with Er Luosi.

  "Mom!" Lin San suddenly shouted.

  Xu Qiujie's eyes widened: "What? You also want to advise me?"

  Lin San shook his head and smiled: "Mom, wait at home, I'll go find Er Lu Zi to talk."

  Xu Qiujie was taken aback: "You're going?"

  "Mother lost face, of course by son to get it back." After finishing, Lin San lifted his foot and walked out of the house.

  Gujalan followed him out of the house and grabbed Lin San's arm: "I'll go with you."

  "Jialan..." Lin San was about to say something when he was interrupted by Gu Jialan.

  "Don't try to persuade me anymore, I'm definitely going with you!" Gu Jialan said firmly.

  Lin San sighed and said with a wry smile: "You're really helpless. Let's go." After that, he pulled Gu Jialan's hand and walked out of the gate.

  "No way, I won't let Lin San go alone." Xu Qiujie was worried about Lin San's safety and chased after him.

  Seeing everyone had left, Lin Wanshan and Lin Dahai couldn't sit still either, and they all ran out of the house.

  The east end of the village.

  Five or six sturdy men were leveling the ground, a man with small eyes and a big mouth shouted loudly: "Thanks to all of you brothers today! Everyone come to my house for drinks tonight, not one can be missing!"

  "Second Donkey, bring out that bottle of Maotai you've been hoarding and let us brothers have a taste." said a bald-headed man with a smile.

  "Right, right, we're going to drink Maotai." The others chimed in.

  Two donkeys laughed and scolded in unison: "Bullshit! Who said I treasured Maotai?"

  "Come on, you numbskull! Are you still not admitting it? Widow Liu has already told us that the Maotai is hidden under your bed!" The bald-headed man sneered.

  "Damn it! That widow Liu is really big-mouthed." Second Donkey cursed.

  "Second Donkey, you and Widow Liu have been together for over a year now, when are you going to get married?" the bald-headed man asked.

  Two donkeys threw out a iron shovel of earth and said: "Covering up the small building is just an excuse for getting married."

  "Rumble, rumble......" Suddenly, a loud roar of an engine came from the intersection.

  The two donkeys and others turned their heads to see that there were two large excavators slowly approaching them.

  "The excavator has finally arrived, and we can start building tomorrow." Er Duzi exclaimed.

  In a moment, the two excavators stopped in front of Er Gouzi and others. The car door opened, and two people jumped down. The one walking in the front was an old man, wearing a gray suit, with his hair combed neatly, wearing glasses. The one walking behind was a young man in his 20s, with a flat head, wearing a blue work uniform, about 1.8 meters tall.

  "Ah, Uncle, you've finally arrived!" The second donkey threw away the iron shovel and ran over to grasp the old man's withered hand, shaking it vigorously.

  The old man pulled his hand out and glanced at Er Duzi: "I can rent the excavator to you for a few days, but the rent..."

  "Ah, I have the rent, don't worry about the money." As he spoke, Er Baozi took out a stack of cash from his pocket and handed it to the old man: "Uncle, count it."

  The old man took the money and counted it carefully three times: "Hmm, exactly 1000 yuan. I'll leave the excavator here, and come back to start it in a week."

  "Let's go! Let's go!" The two donkeys nodded repeatedly: "Uncle, why not stay for today and have dinner with us? I'll prepare a few more delicious dishes."

  The old man shook his head: "No, I still have something to do today." As he spoke, the old man took out a mobile phone, dialed a number and said a few words before hanging up.

  Before long, a van drove over.

  "Alright, see you later, catch up in a week." After saying goodbye to Er Duzi, the old man led Pingtou Xiaohuo into the van and left.

  Looking at the van that had just driven away, Er Duzi curled his lips: "This Wang Deqiu has made a fortune over the years." The old man who had just left was named Wang Deqiu, a well-known rich man in the county, who owned a small company that specialized in renting excavators and cranes.

  "Two donkeys!" A man's voice suddenly came from behind him.

  The two donkeys turned their heads and saw a man and a woman standing behind them. The man was tall and handsome, while the woman was as beautiful as a flower. The two donkeys were taken aback: "Who are you?"

  "I am Lin San, Lin Dahai's son." The man said calmly.

  "Oh, it's you? It's been years since we last met, and you've grown so tall that I almost didn't recognize you!" Erzi smiled.

  At this time, Xu Qiujie, Lin Dahai and Lin Wanshan rushed over in a hurry.

  "Hey, the whole family is here!" Er Duzi sneered.

  Xu Qiujie took a step forward, pointing at Er Luosi's nose and scolding: "Er Luosi, what makes you think you can occupy the small road? The small road is for public use, not just for you!"

  "I'll just take it, what can you do about it?" The second donkey's face sank, and he said coldly.

  "You... don't be too outrageous!" Xu Qiujie's face turned green with rage.

  "Xu Qiujie, listen up! I've got the road blocked off, so if you know what's good for you, you'd better get out of here fast. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you." With that, Er Luosi gestured to his companions standing nearby.

  Several accomplices immediately came over with iron hoes.

  Lin San walked over, pulled Xu Qiujie behind him, and stared at Er Duzi with a cold gaze: "What? Want to hit someone?"

  "If you don't get out of here, I'll break your dog legs!" Er Duzi snorted.

  Lin San's face sank, and he was about to step forward to teach a lesson to the arrogant Second Donkey.

  "Stop it all!" A man in his 40s ran over from the west.

  "Village Chief Zhang? How did you get here?" Xu Qiujie was taken aback, the man who came running was called Zhang Shutian, the village chief of Xinghua Village.

  Zhang Shutian glared at Er Lüzǐ: "Er Lüzǐ, are you trying to stir up trouble again?"

  "Village Chief Zhang, you're wrong to say that. It was Lin Dahan and his family who came looking for trouble, how did I become the one causing trouble?" Er Lu Zi still had to give some face to Village Chief Zhang after all.

  "Fart!" Xu Qiujie cursed and said: "It was you who wanted to occupy the small road, we came to find you to reason."

  "Occupying the small road?" Zhang Shu-tian frowned: "Second Donkey, what's going on here?"

  "Village Chief Zhang, I want to build a two-story house to marry my wife. Since the base area is too small, I occupied the small road next to it." The second donkey knew that things couldn't be covered up anymore, so he just said everything out loud.

  "What nonsense! The path is shared by all villagers, what right do you have to occupy it? Move out of the way immediately!" Zhang Shu-tian shouted.

  "Get out of the way!" The second donkey stiffened its neck: "I've got the narrow road taken!"

  Zhang Shu-tian sneered: "Second Donkey, listen up! The small road is shared by the villagers. If you dare to occupy it privately, I'll have the police station take you away. Go ahead and try if you don't believe me."

  After hearing Zhang Shu-tian's words, Er Lu Zi's face changed suddenly.

  "Uncle Wan Shan, Big Sea, you take your family and go back first. I'll handle this matter. Don't worry, with me here, the Second Donkey will absolutely not occupy the small road." Zhang Shu Tian turned around and advised.

  Seeing Zhang Shu-tian show up, Lin Wan-shan didn't want to bother him anymore, so he bid farewell and led his family back home.

  ……

  Late afternoon

  Village chief Zhang Shutian arrived at Lin Dahai's home.

  "Director Zhang? Please take a seat!" Lin Dahi hastily brought over a chair for Zhang Shutian.

  Zhang Shu-tian thanked him and pulled over a chair to sit down.

  Xu Qiujie brought over a cup of tea and placed it on the table in front of Zhang Shutian, asking: "Village Chief Zhang, how's the matter with the two donkeys?"

  Zhang Shutian looked up at Xu Qiujie and said, "I came tonight just to talk to you about this matter."

  "Oh?" Xu Qiujie was taken aback: "Is it solved?"

  "Things have taken a turn."

  "What's going on? Is that Second Donkey up to his nonsense again?" Lin Dahai asked from the side.

  "Hmph!" Xu Qiujie coldly snorted: "Village Chief Zhang, if you want me to say it, then someone like Second Donkey who is such a rascal should be caught and taken to the police station for some good discipline!"
