Zhao Feng had already found a thick long wooden stick and stuffed one end under the thick trunk. He also found a few wooden blocks and stacked them in the middle of the long wooden stick as a fulcrum.
"Yes, I will lift it as hard as I can, don't drag it."
No one believed this, and an older man quickly stopped him: "Don't be brave. Don't say you can't lift it. I'm afraid that if you bend the stone supporting the trunk, you will hit Old Man Chen even more." What to do if you are too cruel, you can’t do anything but you can’t do it!”
Mrs. Wang was already very angry, and now she pointed at Zhao Feng's nose and scolded: "You lazy guy just doesn't have good intentions! I'm afraid you don't want to crush your father-in-law to death so that you can seize my family's property!"
This is an extremely urgent moment. If the tree is not moved quickly and the stone tilts, Chen Shan may really be crushed to death!
So Zhao Feng didn't care about anything else and said directly.
"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will be responsible for it!"
"If I can't lift it and let this tree crush my father-in-law to death, I will go to the government and one life will be worth one!"
Hearing Zhao Feng's categorical words, everyone immediately couldn't say anything more, so they had to pull away Wang, who was still cursing, and let Zhao Feng try!
Zhao Feng took a deep breath and pressed down the long wooden stick in his hand.
Suddenly, the extremely thick tree at the other end was actually lifted up a little!
Although it was only a little bit, it really moved!
The villagers all showed expressions of disbelief, but they still hurriedly stuffed the wood under the trunk and supported the trunk!
Zhao Feng originally wanted to ask someone to help him press it, but after giving it a try, he felt that he could do it, so he adjusted the stress points little by little, raising the trunk higher and higher.
Finally, enough space was left for the villagers to drag Chen Shan out!
Everyone was greatly relieved. After checking Old Man Chen and confirming that he had just passed out and was not seriously injured, they were even more excited.
The look in Zhao Feng's eyes changed instantly!
It's like watching a fairy.
Zhao Feng had just used his own strength to lift the entire tree half a foot high!
Chen Rou hurriedly said to Zhao Feng: "Husband, fortunately you are here. If it weren't for you, my father..."
Zhao Feng smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay. Your father is my father-in-law. What does it mean to save your own father-in-law?"
Wang was relieved at this time, but still unwilling to admit that Zhao Feng was good.
But listening to everyone's praise for Zhao Feng, a smile appeared on her face.
After Chen Shan was given water and he woke up slowly, someone asked: "Old man Chen, what's going on?"
Chen Shan sighed with a pale face and told what happened before: "Didn't I go into the mountain to chop down a tree? When the tree fell down, I was about to run away when I tripped over a stone!"
"Thankfully I have you! Otherwise I would have died!"
Those people waved their hands hurriedly: "You should still thank your son-in-law!"
"If he hadn't lifted the tree, how could we have saved you?"
When everyone told what happened just now, Chen Shan suddenly showed a shocked expression.
"What? Lifting the tree up by one person? Are you kidding me?"
He was pinned under the tree, and he knew best how heavy the tree was. Not to mention one person, even the men present together might not be able to lift it!
How could Zhao Feng do it alone?
Don't say this because of the briber, just to get more money from him, right?
Chen Shan looked at Zhao Feng with an unhappy look on his face: "You used to just idle around and produce, but now why are you cooperating with others to lie and brag!"
Zhao Feng really didn't expect Chen Shan to think so.
But it’s not Chen Shan’s fault. The original owner’s body and bones could not lift even a sack of millet, let alone a century-old tree.
He wasn't angry at all. Just when he was about to explain, Chen Rou defended him.
Chen Rou curled her lips: "Dad, what are you talking about? It's really your husband who saved you this time, and you guys are just watching."
Everyone also reacted and explained to Zhao Feng word by word.
Seeing that Chen Shan was still dubious, Zhao Feng simply said: "Dad, let me try it again for you to see with your own eyes. I am indeed not a strong man, but this little trick I used can really lift a big tree."
"Don't say it's me. As long as the stick is lengthened, even Chen Rou can lift it."
Zhao Feng said it with confidence. After all, the principle of leverage has been tested for thousands of years. Archimedes gave him a fulcrum and could move the earth. Now he is just levering a big tree.
But as soon as the words came out, let alone Chen Shan, even Chen Rou and the villagers who supported him opened their eyes wide, thinking that he was bragging.
Chen Rou tugged on Zhao Feng's sleeve and whispered: "Husband, please stop talking, I can't do it."
"Don't be afraid, trust me." Zhao Feng reassured her confidently.
Then he asked everyone to wait while he went to find a suitable stick, which was twice as long and much thicker than the one he used just now.
It was a small tree that fell to the ground.
After stuffing it into the gap under the big tree, I used stones to find a good place to cushion it, and then laughed and did judo with Chen.
"Come and try it, let the big guys see it too."
Chen Rou still wanted to shirk it, but she couldn't resist the others who also wanted to take a look, so she had no choice but to step forward.
She knew her own strength and was afraid that Zhao Feng would lose face if the tree remained motionless, so she almost leaned on the stick and pressed down hard.
Seeing that the heavy tree was really lifted up, everyone once again let out a burst of surprise.
"Oh my God, this is a miracle!"
"Chen Rou, a woman, really lifted a big tree!"
"Look, the son-in-law of the Chen family is still the god! Tell us what is going on, and you won't be afraid of lifting heavy things when you come back."
Zhao Feng didn't hide his secrets and explained the principle of leverage to them with a smile.
But everyone couldn't understand what he was saying, and they were all scratching their heads.
He simply said: "You can get started and feel it. Next time you encounter a similar situation, just do the same."
Everyone was interested and ran to try, leaving only Chen Rou and Chen Shan with their husbands beside Zhao Feng.
Chen Shan has not spoken since his daughter lifted the tree.
His face turned red for a while, but he gritted his teeth and said.
"Son-in-law, I have wronged you. I'm sorry, you..."
Zhao Feng didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and quickly waved his hand: "Father, you don't have to say it, it's nothing. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't believe it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes."
After finishing speaking, he paused and added: "In the past, Chen Rou and I were able to avoid starving to death thanks to the care of you and my mother-in-law. I will take her to live a good life in the future."
"Okay, okay!"
Hearing this, Chen Shan excitedly patted him on the shoulder.
Even Mrs. Wang was very pleased with her son-in-law and quickly handed Zhao Feng water to drink.
After a long period of excitement, everyone gathered around Zhao Feng and the Chen Shan family who had recovered and returned to the village. They also rushed to tell each other that the son-in-law of the Chen family could lift a tree at will, and it was said that it was miraculous.
After returning home, Chen Shan asked Wang to cook and entertain Zhao Feng and the two.
Wang was not a kind person either and was unwilling to do so upon hearing this.
"Rice, rice, rice, where did the food come from?"
"You haven't gotten back the money you paid to make furniture for someone last time. Now it will be delayed for a few more days. We have no rice for a long time!"
"In the end, these two came to our house. Where did our family get so much food?"
Zhao Feng knew in his heart that farmers in this era did not have any extra food at home. If one more person had to eat, he might be hungry next time. Therefore, these people were reluctant to let their married daughters go back to their parents' families just so that they would not have to bear the burden of that meal. Food for rice!
But as soon as he rescued his father-in-law, he couldn't help but frown at his mother-in-law's attitude.
Chen Rou quickly took out the basket she brought: "Mom, I brought some wild vegetables when I came back this time. Let's make some at least!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang became even more dissatisfied and muttered: "Bringing these wild vegetables just to bring food to the house is really..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Feng poured out the contents of the sack.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, it's our first time here and we don't have much to bring, so we brought some game to replenish our health."
The whole family's eyes widened immediately because what Zhao Feng poured out turned out to be four fat hares!
