Li Xiulan

Wang Changgen was pointed at the nose and scolded by Yang Xiaocai like this, but he was not weak either, immediately retorting:

"It's your own failure to discipline your son, and you still have the face to blame me? I've lived more than half my life and never seen a thief steal from his own school until now—your son is the first, your son will become the laughingstock of the whole Shanggou Village, and you still dare to come accuse me?"

Yang Xiaocai gritted his teeth in rage, furious and ashamed, shouting angrily:

"If we're talking about the laughingstock of Shanggou Village, your son can't compare to you. Your wife back then was slept with by my brother and He Dazhu, and you didn't dare fart. You've worn two green hats on your head for nearly twenty years, and you still have the face to talk nonsense here?"

Wang Changgen, upon hearing these words, immediately flew into a rage.

The greatest humiliation of his life was the unclear relationship between his wife and Yang Dafu and He Dazhu back then!

In fact, even now he still couldn't confirm whether He Dazhu and Yang Dafu had actually slept with his wife back then!

This was a knot in his heart, and this knot did not loosen with the passage of time, but became harder and sharper instead.

So now that Yang Xiaocai suddenly brought up this matter, he directly lost his composure.

"Yang Xiaocai, you fucking bastard!"

Wang Changgen lunged at him in anger!

Yang Xiaocai, however, was not weak either.

The two of them grappled together right in front of the Police Station!

"Your wife is just a worn-out shoe poked by thousands and tens of thousands; I'm just stating a fact, why are you angry!"

While Yang Xiaocai and Wang Changgen grappled, they did not forget to mock each other with words.

Wang Changgen lost his reason in anger and desperately tried to hit Yang Xiaocai.

Too bad he and Yang Xiaocai were evenly matched, neither gaining any advantage over the other.

"You two stop fighting, harmony brings wealth!"

Zhang Zhongtian saw this and his head swelled; he hurriedly stepped in to mediate, but found that neither Wang Changgen nor Yang Xiaocai listened to him at all.

Helpless, Zhang Zhongtian had to return inside the Police Station, call a police officer, and have the police help stop the situation from worsening.

"You both stop fighting. Daring to fight at the entrance of the Police Station—have you eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall!"

The police officer walked over and forcibly separated the two of them, and only then did they stop fighting.

But both were already bruised and swollen.

Wang Changgen's mouth corner was split, blood flowing freely, while Yang Xiaocai had a bruise at the corner of his eye.

"Believe it or not, I'll arrest you and lock you up for ten days or half a month!"

The police officer shouted sternly at the two of them.

Then he asked:

"All of you, say what happened? How come you're fighting right after coming out of the police station!"

Wang Changgen said indignantly:

"Comrade Police Officer, this dog thing spreads rumors to slander me and splashes dirty water on me!"

The police officer looked at Yang Xiaocai:

"What did you say to him?"

Yang Xiaocai sneered:

"I didn't slander him; I only spoke the truth. Wang Changgen, this incapable man, was already given two green hats by my brother and He Dazhu over ten years ago. This is something all the villagers of Shanggou Village know. Who knows if his wife secretly gave him even more green hats behind his back—he just doesn't know. After all, his wife was famous for being promiscuous when she was young!"

Upon hearing this, the police officer also had a swollen head.

He was a police officer who had only come to this Police Station not long ago and knew nothing about what happened in Shanggou Village over ten years ago, so he couldn't empathize with Wang Changgen, only coldly asking Wang Changgen:

"You were the one who first laid hands, right?"

Wang Changgen did not deny it:

"He talked nonsense and ruined my reputation, that's why I laid hands on him!"

The police officer immediately said:

"Then this is your fault. No matter what, you can't be the first to lay hands on someone. Even if you're in the right, as long as you laid hands first, you become the one in the wrong! Do you know that laying hands on someone can get you detained for seven to fifteen days!"

Yang Xiaocai, upon hearing this, immediately showed delight and hurriedly fanned the flames:

"Comrade Police Officer, hurry up and detain him. This dog thing deserves to be detained!"

The police officer immediately glared at Yang Xiaocai with a disgusted look and rebuked:

"Don't get too happy too soon. Although he laid hands first, you also fought back. This is mutual assault. According to the Public Security Administration Punishment Regulations, you will also be detained!"

Yang Xiaocai, upon hearing this, immediately trembled in his eyes, showed fear, and was no longer so arrogant and loud.

Zhang Zhongtian saw this and hurriedly stepped out again to smooth things over:

"Comrade Police Officer, they were just playing around. For my sake, please don't detain them, okay?"

Actually, the police officer hadn't intended to detain them either; he just wanted to scare them a little so they would restrain themselves and not continue fighting.

Going through procedures requires a lot of work, and he didn't want to increase his workload over such a trivial matter.

So he said:

"Not detaining them is possible. You two apologize to each other. Don't fight each other anymore. You're from the same village—when you bow your heads you don't see, when you raise them you do. What's there to fight about? Be good neighbors, understand!"

Wang Changgen was somewhat unhappy, putting on a stern face and unconvinced:

"Clearly he started the trouble. Why should I apologize!"

Zhang Zhongtian saw this and almost jumped in anxiety, hurriedly coming over to persuade in a low voice:

"Don't be so stubborn. Make a big thing small and a small thing nothing — hurry up and apologize. If you get detained and end up with a criminal record, your youngest son won't have a chance at the civil service exam or becoming a teacher. Your youngest son studies so hard; you don't want to ruin his future, do you? If he can't take the civil service exam or become a teacher because of you, he might hate you for a lifetime!"

Wang Zhanggen's inner heart trembled violently.

For a moment, he could clearly feel the miserable taste of having his soft spot grasped and manipulated.

His face and dignity were very important, but he had to admit that his youngest son's future was far more important than his personal face and dignity.

So he could only put down his strong self-esteem, lower his proud head, and apologize to Yang Xiaocai:

"Yang Xiaocai, sorry. Just now I was impulsive."

Yang Xiaocai also didn't want to make things too stiff, because he didn't want to be detained either, so he said:

"I'll apologize to you too. Sorry. I shouldn't have brought up things from over ten years ago again. But I still want to reiterate one point: although I'm admitting fault, I don't think what I said was false. Party Secretary Zhang, you can help judge — did I say a single false sentence? My words are all well-founded. The older generation in the village all know what happened back then!"

This apology from Yang Xiaocai had no sincerity at all; it even stabbed Wang Zhanggen with another knife.

This left the mediating Zhang Zhongtian only able to smile bitterly in helplessness, and he could only hurriedly say:

"Yang Xiaocai, an apology is an apology — why say so much nonsense!"

Then he hurriedly comforted Wang Zhanggen:

"Don't pay attention to him. That's all stuff from fifteen or sixteen years ago. Whatever he says, just live your own life well!"

Wang Zhanggen was very angry, really wanting to go beat Yang Xiaocai again.

His two hands tightly clenched fists, his whole body trembling slightly.

But he had to forcibly endure it, because he had to consider his youngest son's future.
