Chapter 160: Li Jianguo Shows His Power and Angrily Beats the Gu Family

Gu Ermao hurriedly returned to the team, actually thinking of discussing it with his family before the matter spread.

His apprentice job was found by his uncle-in-law. He originally thought his uncle-in-law could find someone to pull strings and get it back, but he didn't expect his uncle-in-law to scold him directly after returning, telling him to get lost back to the team the next day, saying he wouldn't care about him in the future.

Gu Ermao's aunt originally wanted to persuade him, but his uncle-in-law explained the matter and specifically mentioned that the leader of the transport company called to complain about him, so Gu Ermao's aunt didn't dare to say anything, and the next day she let Gu Ermao pack his things and return to the team.

Gu Ermao also knew he had caused trouble this time, so he returned to the team with his bedding on his back in a dejected manner.

As a result, before he could discuss the situation with his family, someone called the team.

Gu Ermao was about to cry. Was this trying to drive him to a dead end?

When Li Jianguo carried a stick to the Gu family's door, Gu Ermao's mother, Liu Tiemei, was complaining that the money was wasted and she didn't know how to get some back.

Gu the eldest didn't know what to say anymore. How could he have raised such a useless son?

Once this matter spread, his son's reputation completely stank in the street.

"Gu the eldest, get the hell out here!" Li Jianguo's voice sounded in the Gu family's courtyard. Gu the eldest was startled, couldn't care about complaining about his son anymore, and hurriedly walked out the door.

Seeing Li Jianguo carrying a stick, Gu the eldest thought it was over. Li Jianguo usually looked like he had a good temper, but that was usually!

When the team was first established, people from all over the country gathered together, and conflicts were inevitable. Li Jianguo was not tall and looked kind, but only those who had experienced it knew that this guy could kill when fighting!

It seemed he had really pissed him off today!

"Old Li, Old Li, let's talk properly, put down the stick, I know our Ermao didn't do things right this time, I'll let Ermao apologize to your family, do you think that's okay..."

Saying that, Gu the eldest shouted into the house:

"Ermao, Ermao, come out quickly, apologize to your Uncle Li!"

Gu Ermao was still a bit awkward in the house. He had apologized to Li Long under pressure at the Anti-Speculation Office, and he already felt he had lost enough face, but he didn't even keep his apprentice job!

Now in the team, in his own home, he had to apologize to Li Long's big brother again. Was his face really that worthless?

"Apologize for what? I even lost my apprenticeship—I haven't complained about him yet! He, Li Long, is bullying others..."

Gu Ermao also thought that in his own home, Li Jianguo couldn't do anything to him, so he muttered while walking out with his head down.

"You damn thing, you still have a point, right? In the past, you were a traitor! Do you think our Li family is easy to bully?"

Li Jianguo originally wanted an explanation, but he didn't expect this Gu Ermao not only didn't realize his mistake but also pushed the blame onto Li Long, which made Li Jianguo furious!

Although his younger brother had looked promising and independent in the past half year, in Li Jianguo's eyes, he was still that little Li Long. He could scold him, but he wouldn't allow others to gossip about him, and besides, this Gu Ermao had pitted Li Long more than once!

While he was scolding Gu Ermao, the stick swung up and hit Gu Ermao's thigh hard!

"Ow—!"

Gu Ermao didn't notice at all that Li Jianguo was actually carrying a stick—this stick was the handle of a shovel that Li Jianguo had cut from the woods on the side of the road on his way back from measuring the land. He hadn't had time to fix it yet, and it was as thick as a wrist. With that one stick, he felt his leg was no longer his own!

Li Jianguo didn't intend to hold back at all. The next stick hit Gu Ermao's head directly! Gu Ermao was scared out of his wits, tilted his head slightly, and the stick grazed his ear and smashed onto his shoulder. Gu Ermao felt the bones in his shoulder had shattered!

When Gu the eldest saw his son suffering, he hurriedly stepped forward to grab Li Jianguo's stick, and Liu Tiemei inside heard her son's scream, rushed out with an "ow," and wanted to fight Li Jianguo desperately.

Li Jianguo wasn't afraid of such a shrew. He stepped back, hit Gu the eldest on the arm with one stick, and then turned the stick head and patted Liu Tiemei on the shoulder!

Outside the courtyard, Li Qiang, who was led by Liang Yumei and originally came to persuade them to stop fighting, looked at this scene and asked his mother in surprise:

"Mom, has my dad practiced martial arts?"

Liang Yumei couldn't laugh or cry:

"What time is it, and you're asking this?"

She was outside the courtyard, and because she was leading Li Qiang, she didn't dare to go in to break up the fight, so she could only shout loudly:

"Qiangqiang's dad, stop hitting!"

"Don't you worry! The Gu family has bullied my Li family. If I don't give them some color to see, I think they will be able to shit in my courtyard in two days!"

Li Qiang was right; Li Jianguo had indeed practiced some farm skills for two days, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sneak onto a train alone from the interior to northern Xinjiang at sixteen. Being able to break through to now without any trouble wasn't just relying on his brain. Today's matter had indeed made him very angry. Once, twice, but not a third time. If he didn't give the Gu family some color to see, did they really think he, Li Jianguo, was a good person?

This was not like later generations. Fights between two families in the team didn't happen often, but they weren't rare either. The law wasn't that sound yet. As long as the side that made the move was in the right and didn't beat the other party to disability, it would be settled by the team's mediation in the end.

Li Jianguo knocked the Gu family members all over with the stick, and the courtyard was filled with wailing, before he was persuaded by several neighbors who heard the news.

When Xu Chengjun rushed over, he was still complaining about his wife's big mouth. This matter was actually told to Xu Chengjun by Li Xiangqian. Li Xiangqian actually had only one idea: to make Gu Ermao stink, so that he would no longer be a threat to Li Long.

It was just that Li Xiangqian didn't expect that the Gu family hadn't reacted to this matter, but instead stimulated Li Jianguo.

When Xu Chengjun arrived, the three members of the Gu family were wilted, Liu Tiemei was sitting on the ground screaming without any image, Gu Ermao was lying behind his father, his neck and face were covered in blood, and he was covering his shoulder and stealing glances at Li Jianguo from time to time.

Li Jianguo was persuaded by two neighbors, holding the stick in his hand, standing at the door of the Gu family with a dark face.

Xu Chengjun was younger than Li Jianguo. When the team was established, he was still a soldier and hadn't seen Li Jianguo "show his power," but now it seemed that neither of the Li brothers was a good person.

"Brother Jianguo, what are you doing?" Xu Chengjun persuaded, "Let's wait for Li Long to come back to talk about this matter. Besides, Ermao's apprenticeship is gone..."

"That's what he deserves!" Li Jianguo spat at the three members of the Gu family, "You ask everyone, is what he did a human thing? Not to mention anything else, around the New Year, everyone in the team has seen what our Xiao Long has done so far, right?

Nothing was against his conscience, right? The carrying pole matter was for the team's benefit, right? That benefited everyone, no problem, right? At least after this batch of carrying poles is finished, can everyone share some money at the end of the year?

Xiao Long didn't offend him outside, right? He went to report Xiao Long. Is this still a human thing? Last time he bit people like a wild boar, I listened to your persuasion and let this matter go. Now? This is not that we won't let him go, it's that he doesn't want us Li family to live well! He wants to fix my Xiao Long to death! I tell you, Gu Ermao, this matter is not over!"

Although only ten people could go for the carrying pole matter, everyone in the team knew that after the forestry team was established, the sideline team in the village couldn't go to dig fritillaria to make money, so if they wanted to share some money at the end of the year, it could only be from selling team property.

Li Long could bring the task of weaving carrying poles to the team. Although the direct beneficiaries were those ten people, at the end of the year, this money could more or less be shared among each family.

Think about the benefits Li Long brought to the team, but Gu Ermao wanted to stab him in the back and report him for speculation and profiteering. If it weren't for Li Long's strong backer, he would have been arrested by now. Speculation and profiteering was a crime, not as simple as Tao Dayong and Gu Ermao being caught and fined last time!

After figuring out these details, many people felt it was troublesome; this might be a deadly feud!

Xu Chengjun also felt a headache. He turned his head and said to Gu the eldest:

"Old Gu, what do you say?"

What could Old Gu say? He was beaten by Li Jianguo, and it could be seen that it was in vain. Before he could speak, Liu Tiemei let out a howl, and while howling, she said to Xu Chengjun:

"Team leader, you have to make the decision for us! We were beaten to our door, and you don't care? Is the Li family human, and my Gu family not human? Look at our Ermao..."

Gu Ermao didn't dare to make a sound at this time, which made Liu Tiemei so angry that she sat up and kicked Gu Ermao hard. Only then did Gu Ermao react and scream while covering his leg.

"Our Ermao is injured!"

"If he's injured, take him to the hospital for treatment!" Xu Chengjun was so angry that his brain hurt. He had a headache looking at Liu Tiemei's shrewish style and couldn't help but scold:

"If your Ermao didn't report Li Long, could Brother Jianguo come over to hit him? Look at what he did? Is that a human thing?"

He turned his head and said to Li Jianguo:

"Brother Jianguo, Ermao's reporting was wrong, and he has been dealt with. The apprenticeship was also fired. You hit him, you scolded him, let's just let it be."

"No!" Liu Tiemei didn't expect the team leader to favor the Li family when he came, so she directly did it and roared:

"Then he hit someone for nothing?"

"Then what do you want?" Xu Chengjun sneered, "Do you think your Ermao did the right thing? Look at how everyone sees you? This matter was not on your side from the beginning. You almost sent Li Long to prison. It's light for him to beat you up!

If you don't want to let it go, fine! There is a court in the county and a police station in the township. Go report it! See if they support you or not! I don't care about this matter anymore!"

After speaking, Xu Chengjun left with his hands behind his back.

Although Li Jianguo hadn't completely calmed down, he had beaten the three members of the Gu family, and with so many people stopping him, he couldn't do anything else, so he spat at the Gu family's courtyard again and pointed at Gu Ermao:

!.

"You listen to me! Xiao Long hasn't come back yet, I'll count some interest first! If he loses anything when he comes back, I'll unload one of your legs!"

After speaking, Li Jianguo turned around and walked back with the stick.

Liang Yumei followed quickly and complained in a low voice:

"Why were you so impulsive?"

"If I wasn't impulsive at that time, would you let me sit down and discuss it slowly with his family? This matter is not over! When Xiao Long comes back, let's see how to deal with them!"

"If you're not afraid, what about Juan and Qiangqiang going to school?" Liang Yumei thought more, "You beat them today. If they bully Juan and Qiangqiang when no one is around, can you watch them?"

When she said this, Li Jianguo reacted, staring with his eyes:

"He dares! If he dares to touch Juan and Qiangqiang, I will destroy his whole family!"

Although he said so, Li Jianguo thought about it and said:

"Starting tomorrow, I will send Juan to school, send her outside the third team, and I will send Qiangqiang directly to the preschool class and hand him over to the teacher. If it doesn't work, don't go to school for this period, stay at home and be safer. When Xiao Long comes back in two days, let's discuss it..."

The whole team was talking about Li Jianguo beating the three members of the Gu family, and Gu Ermao reporting Li Long.

Wu Shufen was a bit fortunate. Last time she asked Gu Ermao to take her to the exam, Gu Ermao said "get lost," Wu Shufen couldn't take it, and broke up with Gu Ermao directly.

Thinking about it now, it was fortunate that they broke up, otherwise, she didn't know how much trouble it would bring.

This Gu Ermao was also unreliable. Reporting Li Long was one thing, but he didn't report him successfully and was fired instead. It seemed Li Long really had a big person supporting him, otherwise, how could Gu Ermao be fired?

In the past, people in the team felt that Li Long just had a lot of little tricks and could make money. It was right to say he didn't do his proper job, and it was also right to say his brain was flexible.

But after today's incident, no one in the team would treat Li Long as the original Li family's second son. This person was different.

The next day, Li Jianguo sent Li Juan and Li Qiang to school. When he returned home, Lu's eldest sister-in-law was already in the courtyard, and she said with joy:

"Gu Ermao ran away, ran away with a limp. It is said that he was afraid of Li Long's revenge when he came back, so he ran away from home overnight. I heard people say his family has relatives in the Corps, and it seems Gu Ermao ran to the Corps near Shicheng..."

Speaking of this, she sighed with admiration:

"That Corps is not much more tiring than ours. This Gu Ermao is pampered, can he get used to working there?"

When Li Jianguo heard this, he cursed:

"Damn it, this rabbit ran quite fast!"

Liang Yumei glared at him and said:

"Then what should he do if he doesn't run? Wait for Xiao Long to come back and let you two brothers go over and beat him again?"

Hearing Liang Yumei say this, Lu's eldest sister-in-law laughed. The general consensus in the team was that Li Jianguo was not wrong to beat the Gu family members. They were bullied to the head, and if he didn't beat them, should he reason with them?

Actually, Liang Yumei felt relieved after hearing it. At least she didn't have to worry about Li Juan and Li Qiang going to school. After all, the unstable factor in the Gu family was Gu Ermao. Gu the eldest was a coward who looked forward and backward and couldn't do anything bad. Liu Tiemei looked like a shrew, but it was okay to let her howl, but to let her fight and scratch people, she really didn't have that ability.

This matter was just shelved in the village. Li Jianguo didn't have the heart to think more. After all, after those few mu of feed land were allocated, he had to hurry up and plant sugar beets. It was definitely too late to plant grain at this time, and only sugar beets and the like could be used to make sugar, feed pigs, and sell to sugar factories to earn some money, and they were easy to manage.

At least the name was feed land, so it had to look like feed land. When Xu Chengjun allocated the land to him, that was the meaning in his words, which was the same as what he said when he sold the horse stable to Li Long.

The Li brothers first raised wild pigs in the horse stable, and then planted sugar beets in the feed land, which made Xu Chengjun feel that if everyone in the team did things like the Li brothers, then he would be a very comfortable team leader.

Knowing how to make money, knowing how to handle things, and not being hypocritical, who wouldn't want such villagers?

Li Long didn't know about the many things that happened in the team. He carried the radios, pedaled pantingly into the mountains, and then came to his winter camp with Halimu, who had been waiting for a long time.

The winter camp was built.
