When Li Long took Han Benzhong and a large group of people to Hu Ma Lao San's house, Hu Ma Lao San was blowing his bravery to his wife.

Seeing Li Long bringing a group of people to the courtyard gate, Hu Ma Lao San didn't feel that the matter was big, he stood up and said with a smile:

"Xiao Long is here? Do you want to say that the afternoon was a misunderstanding? Actually, it's nothing, things have passed, we men are not unreasonable, the people you brought are also quite sensible, and what you did at that time was not bad.

But there is one thing I have to tell you, look, you and my brother are both doing this reed bundle thing, in the same village, why make it so troublesome? Let me tell you, you set the price so high, making people run to you to hand in goods, and the unqualified reed bundles my brother collects are more. Is this matter a bit too much..."

Li Long smelled the alcohol sprayed in Hu Ma Lao San's mouth, and he reacted, it turned out that this guy was drunk, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be so loud.

"Not drunk, right?" Li Long asked with a gloomy face, "Do you want some water to sober up?"

"What is this little wine?" Hu Ma Lao San waved his hand carelessly, "I'm talking to you about business, don't deviate..."

Hu Ma Lao San is nearly ten years older than Li Long, which is about the reason why he felt he could teach Li Long a lesson.

Li Long looked left and right, Hu Ma Lao San's wife saw so many people coming, a bit afraid, she took the child into the house, Li Long picked up the horse ladle on the stove, scooped a ladle of water and poured it on Hu Ma Lao San's head:

"Can you talk properly now?"

"Li Long, what the hell do you want to do?" Hu Ma Lao San was stunned for a moment, then shouted at the top of his voice, "Do you want to fight..."

"I want to tell you that beating people is wrong." Li Long looked relatively calm, "I brought people here, you apologize to my people. People in our team are reasonable, my brother told the people harvesting reeds there before, these people were invited by us to help us harvest reeds, it is best for everyone to be safe. People are not stealing reeds, they were invited by us, understand?

And people have been harvesting reeds there for several days, you went to beat people today, my Brother Han explained, you still didn't forgive, and beat people, it's your fault, you have to give me an explanation."

"I give a hammer explanation!" Hu Ma Lao San was a bit cold, turned and took a piece of clothing from the iron wire and wiped his face messily, "Li Long, don't give face and not want face! We are in the same team, I give you face, this matter is even. If you make trouble again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"What do you mean, you are not giving this explanation, right?" Li Long took a step forward, "You did the thing, you know right and wrong in your heart! If you can't look at the matter of me collecting reed bundles here, come at me! People were invited by me, if they are bullied, then I have to stand up! Not giving an explanation, right? That's fine, Han Da Chun, come here, give him a slap, and this matter will pass."

"You dare!" Hu Ma Lao San was a bit afraid at this time, usually Li Long was elusive, seeing people with three points of smile, usually greeting each other, although earning some money, but to be honest, Hu Ma Lao San was not convinced. He felt that if he had a chance, he would also be fine. So this time, it was a bit of a slap in Li Long's face.

Just didn't expect Li Long to run to his house to make trouble for an outsider, asking him for an explanation, and if not given, beat him—really beat him, then does he still want his face?

Han Da Chun was a bit hesitant, to be honest, when he was beaten, if it weren't for Han Benzhong stopping him, he would definitely have fought back.

But now that so much time had passed, he felt it was nothing, after all, he came to earn money, just endure it and it would pass. So Li Long standing up to vent his anger, he didn't expect it.

"Han Da Chun, don't hesitate, let's go back to sleep after beating." Li Long turned his head and looked at Han Da Chun, "If you feel you don't need to beat, that's fine, let's just forget it, if you encounter such things later, don't let me know."

Han Da Chun understood, he stepped forward and walked to Hu Ma Lao San.

Han Da Chun was half a head shorter than Hu Ma Lao San, at this time Hu Ma Lao San was a bit afraid, took two steps back, Han Da Chun stretched out his hand, suddenly smiled, he didn't use force, patted Hu Ma Lao San's face, then turned to Li Long and said:

"Okay, just like this, today... I owe you. Beaten, let's go back."

Li Long didn't expect Han Da Chun to let Hu Ma Lao San go like this, but it was actually quite good. He nodded to Han Da Chun, and then said to Hu Ma Lao San:

"Hu Ma Lao San, things are like this. Use your brain when doing things later, people were invited by me, you beat him, that is to lose my face. You are not wrong, then I admit I am unlucky, you are not reasonable, then don't think I can be generous... Face is earned by yourself, not given by others!"

After speaking, he turned and prepared to leave.

"Li Long, stop for me!" Hu Ma Lao San shouted from behind, "I'll fight you to the death!"

Han Da Chun's light pat made him more uncomfortable than a fierce slap.

Doesn't this make people look more generous than him? I, a local, was compared by an outsider, damn it, can this be endured?

Hu Ma Lao San grabbed a shoulder pole standing by the courtyard wall and was about to rush over. At this time, there were quite a few people surrounded outside the courtyard wall. Li Long and the others ran over aggressively, naturally, some people were watching, and some were following.

However, Hu Ma Lao San couldn't care about others now, he just wanted to wash away the humiliation he was currently stained with, only by beating Li Long and these few people could his reputation be restored—this was his thought.

"Old San, put down the shoulder pole!" Hu Lao Er walked in from the outside with a gloomy face. He was talking about Hu Ma Lao San, but actually stopped when he walked to the opposite side of Li Long.

Seeing Han Benzhong and others brought by Li Long, Hu Lao Er actually had a headache.

"Old Hu, you are here to..." Li Long asked.

He didn't believe Hu Lao Er didn't know about his younger brother beating people. If he didn't know, then Hu Ma Lao San's beating just now was not wrong. If he knew, then it was even more not wrong—this Hu Ma Lao San's brain was probably smaller than others.

"Xiao Long, you unite with outsiders to bully people in the village, shouldn't you?" Hu Lao Er felt awkward when Li Long called him Old Hu, his age was almost the same as Li Long's father.

But because his relationship with Li Jianguo was poor, Li Long wouldn't give him an honorific, which was normal.

"Old Hu, what you said is a bit meaningless." Li Long was not afraid of him at all, he was reasonable, so he reasoned, "Your third brother beat the people I invited in the reed lake, and took away the reeds they harvested. I came to ask for an explanation, your brother didn't give it, so he beat people and others beat back, isn't it very reasonable?" Li Long's voice was very loud, loud enough for people outside to hear:

"If others came to steal reeds, how you beat them, then you are powerful. These people were invited by me, my brother told everyone in the reed lake before, and when your third brother beat people, my Brother Han also explained, your third brother still wanted to beat people, wanted to occupy the land, then you say, should he be cleaned up?"

"Then it's not the turn of outsiders to clean up..."

"Then you come to clean up?" The suddenly appearing voice made Hu Lao Er's brain ache.

Li Jianguo is here.

Li Long felt relieved, for the next things, he didn't need to come forward to speak.

"Old Hu, how is this younger brother of yours disciplined?" Li Jianguo came up and opened big, "The people I brought, I greeted them, your brother came up and grabbed the place where people harvested reeds, beat people, grabbed reeds, and now he is still shouting here, what does he want to do? Is it because he thinks he is the only capable person in the team? Ah? Or does he think that with you supporting him, he can be lawless?"

Li Jianguo's output made Hu Lao Er unable to do it.

If Li Jianguo wasn't there, he might have been able to rely on his age to scold Li Long. But now Li Jianguo is here, whatever he says is useless. Li Jianguo's credibility in the team is higher than his, plus he is not reasonable now, Hu Ma Lao San is already thinking about letting go and leaving.

"Brother Old Li," Hu Lao Er was still thinking about how to answer, Xu Chengjun came over here, he said with his clothes draped:

!.

"Alright, things have reached this point, so don't say anything. This person is fine, I heard Xiao Long leveled the matter, so let's leave it at that. Everyone take a step back, don't let this big brother from the reclamation area see our joke, okay?"

Han Benzhong hurriedly waved his hand and said he didn't dare, Xu Chengjun looked at Han Da Chun's face, nodded, and said:

"Old San, your hand is indeed a bit ruthless, no wonder Xiao Long came to trouble you. Alright, since it's said, let's forget it?"

Hu Ma Lao San was aggrieved, but the captain had spoken, what could he say?

Li Jianguo came empty-handed this time, without a stick, he looked at Han Benzhong, Han Benzhong hurriedly nodded and said:

"It's okay, it's okay, it's passed, it's passed, just like this, just like this, it's fine!"

"That's fine, Captain, we won't pursue this matter either. Just hope that such things won't happen again later. People were invited by me, if there is another time, this matter won't be forgotten like this!"

"Alright, disperse, disperse." Xu Chengjun was better at smoothing things over, after all, he could only help neither side. These people, why are they so worrying?

"Old Han, sorry about this." On the way back, Li Jianguo said to Han Benzhong, "I didn't expect that bastard to dare to do it..."

"Old Li, no one has eyes in the front and back. Your Xiao Long did this—I'll put my words here today, following you two brothers to work, even if we don't want money, we feel happy!"

The next day Wang Tiancheng arrived at the team and first found Hu Lao Er. Hu Lao Er and his wife were dismantling those unqualified reed bundles in the courtyard, planning to extract the reeds that could still be used and re-harvest them into reed bundles, which was considered waste utilization.

Seeing Wang Tiancheng coming, Hu Lao Er felt a bit guilty. Wang Tiancheng pointed to those messy unqualified reed bundles and asked:

"Old Hu, are these unqualified?"

"Um..." Things were placed in front of him, Hu Lao Er couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

"How did you do it? Why did you collect so many unqualified ones?"

"That... isn't it because I couldn't collect them?" Hu Lao Er anxiously thought of a reason, "That kid Li Long offered fifteen cents each, and we offered ten cents..."

"We signed a contract." Wang Tiancheng didn't quite believe Hu Lao Er's words, "Do they dare to violate the contract? Aren't they afraid of being fined?"

"They are not afraid..." Hu Lao Er just opened his mouth, and someone pulled a board cart of reed bundles over there. It was Li Jianguo's opposite door, Lu Yingming and his wife.

"Old Hu, come and count, there are seventy reed bundles sent by us today, look at the quality, the one signed on our contract should be enough."

Hearing this, Wang Tiancheng's face turned gloomy.

Didn't you say people are not afraid of violating the contract? Why is this directly following the contract?

Wang Tiancheng went over to look at the reed bundles sent by the Lu family, seventy were basically qualified products, that is, strict requirements, maybe only a few unqualified ones could be picked out.

He looked at Hu Lao Er, his eyes full of unkindness.

This Hu Lao Er, doesn't want to do it well! (End of chapter)
