"stop!"
At this moment, Liu Futang, a tall man with a dark complexion and about fifty years old, ran over in small steps.
This man has served as the head of Banpo Village for more than ten or twenty years. He can be said to be the local emperor of the area. Everyone in the village is afraid of him. Even the children will not sleep. As soon as an adult mentions the arrival of the village chief, the children will be afraid of him. I will close my eyes immediately.
"Lin Xiao! You are a soldier. What you do is breaking the law. I can ask someone to arrest you."
Liu Futang ran to Lin Xiao in a few steps and said in a panic.
Because he saw the tragic scene in the wheat field. Even ghosts are afraid of evil people. It would be strange if he is not afraid.
Facing this fierce god, Lin Xiao might have been afraid of him before, but now when Lin Xiao saw Liu Futang, not only was he not afraid, but he smiled coldly.
"Is it illegal? Then your family occupied my wheat field, your son broke my dad's leg, and he sent people to hurt my mother and Lin Qian today. Are these illegal? As the village chief, you should arrest him first , or catch me first?”
Lin Xiao spoke loudly and every sentence made sense.
At this time, people from the village came to watch the excitement and surrounded the wheat field.
Liu Xiong, who was lying on the small table, was in so much pain that he couldn't hold it anymore. Regardless of everyone present, he shouted loudly: "Dad! It's all our fault, we admit it.
The wheat field was returned to their family. His father's leg was broken by me, and today I sent the fat pig and skinny monkey to beat Liu Xiuzhi and her daughter. We are willing to compensate for these.
dad! You agree quickly, otherwise your son will die of pain. "
Liu Futang's face turned purple with anger. Ever since he became the village chief in Banpo Village, no one had ever challenged his authority like Lin Xiao.
"Okay! The wheat field will be cleaned up immediately and returned to you. Liu Xiong hurt your family, but you also hurt him, so the matter is even."
Liu Futang gasped, gritted his teeth and finally took a step back in front of the villagers. You know, he had never done this before.
Just when everyone thought that Lin Xiao would immediately let go of Liu Xiong and stop as soon as he was ready, Lin Xiao shouted loudly and asked: "Comparing a leg or a little finger, which one is more important? Can this matter be evened?"
"Dad! I said we'd pay, but do you want a son or money?"
Liu Xiong couldn't bear the pain, and he cried in embarrassment in public.
Liu Futang's face was uglier than that of a dead man. He smiled coldly and asked, "How much is the compensation?"
"Five hundred yuan, not even a penny less."
As soon as Lin Xiao said these words, everyone onlookers couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
You know, in Qindong, the highest salary for a senior worker is more than 50 yuan a month, and the salary for temporary workers is only more than 20 yuan. Five hundred yuan is a senior worker's salary for a year.
In the eyes of everyone, Lin Xiao was undoubtedly a lion.
But before Liu Futang could speak, his son Liu Xiong couldn't wait to shout: "Dad! Promise him, our family should have this money."
Liu Futang couldn't help it. He smiled coldly and said: "Compared with five hundred yuan and a broken leg, I think the leg is more important. I promise you in front of the villagers, you let him go now."
Liu Futang borrowed the donkey to go down the slope, and he found a suitable excuse for himself.
When Lin Xiao saw the arrogant Liu Futang surrendering in public, he loosened his grip on Liu Xiong's arm.
Liu Xiong got up immediately. Cold sweat broke out on his face as he held his painful right hand.
Seeing that this guy got the punishment he deserved, Lin Xiao didn't want to dwell on it anymore. He said coldly: "The five hundred yuan will be delivered immediately. After today, it will become a thousand yuan tomorrow."
"Send it right away, send it right away."
Liu Xiong nodded and said hurriedly. He completely ignored his father's face. He was completely frightened by Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao secretly let out a sigh of relief. When he left the threshing field, there was a lot of discussion behind him.
"This is a big feud. He dares to take the money that the village chief's family has lost?"
"You know what the heck, I heard that he works as a guard for the commander in the army. He must be very tough in the background, otherwise he would have such courage."
…
Lin Xiao stood in front of the gate of his house. He looked at several low mud houses and small courtyards made of fences. He secretly swore in his heart that he must make his family rich first, otherwise he would still be ignored in the village. despise.
On the earthen kang, his father Lin Mingsheng, who is only in his forties, looks as old as his fifties due to years of hard work.
His calf was tied with a self-made splint made of wooden boards. When he saw his son back, he was so excited that he could not speak.
"Dad, I broke Liu Xiong's little finger to avenge you and asked them to pay our family five hundred yuan."
Lin Xiao lowered his head and whispered.
"What? You've caused big trouble this time. We can't fight against their family."
When my mother heard this, she was so scared that she almost cried.
"Xiao'er has done it, so we are not afraid."
The loyal and honest father was very calm this time. As soon as he said these words, Lin Xiao suddenly felt that he had a solid backing.
"Is Lin Xiao at home? My dad asked me to send money over."
A girl's beautiful voice came in from outside the door.
Lin Xiao hurriedly walked to the door and took a look.
I saw a tall, beautiful girl with a ponytail standing outside the gate.
She was wearing a dark red plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up, revealing two jade arms that looked like white onions.
Wearing a pair of blue flared jeans, and white sneakers that were rare in that era, Lin Xiao thought she looked like the movie star Zhao Na with such fashionable clothing and her handsome face.
"Liu Qingqing?"
Lin Xiao couldn't help shouting.
He recognized her. She was Liu Futang's daughter. They were classmates in junior high school.
After graduating from junior high school, Lin Xiao went to high school and joined the army, while Liu Qingqing joined the city's cotton spinning factory as a temporary worker through his father's relationship.
"Lin Xiao, have you retired from the army? My third brother, this bastard, really can't handle what he did to you, but you taught him a lesson today.
I didn’t know about this until I came back yesterday, otherwise I wouldn’t have let them do it no matter what I said. "
Liu Qingqing smiled sheepishly, and then a touch of sadness appeared on her face.
Lin Xiao said "Oh" and said, "I have retired from the army. This matter has nothing to do with you. I hope we will not become enemies."
"How could it be? I'm not an ignorant person. I've always been against my dad and my brother doing this, but..."
"Lin Xiao! Get out of here. You broke my son's hand and extorted money from my family. Is this justified? I'll give your mother a hard time."
Before Liu Qingqing could finish her words, Liu Futang's wife, Liu Qingqing's mother, Zhao Cuihua, walked over with a big black dog that was as big as a calf.
The big black dog grabbed the chain and ran forward. It barked at Lin Xiao, as if it was about to pounce on him and eat him.
When Lin Xiao saw this woman, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. This woman was a well-known shrew in the village. He really didn't know where to start with her.
