Chapter 193: Liu Wenbiao Is About to Jump into the Pit Again

“Ah! Stop hitting me, no more!”

“Xu Shaochen, this isn’t over! So what if you have a little bit of money? Ah, my leg—!”

Xu Youwei and Xu Tiezhui, father and son, rolled on the ground, screaming in agony. They went from begging for mercy to angrily cursing at the top of their lungs.

“Good! Beat him to death! This bastard has been bullying the villagers for too long!”

“Exactly! He couldn’t even get the government to fix the roads, but when it comes to cheating others, he’s so quick!”

“He even tried to take Young Master Xu’s ancestral home! Doesn’t he fear that he’ll be cursed to die without descendants?”

The onlookers spat insults one after another, some even taking the opportunity to kick the two men a few times.

After more than ten minutes, Long Yi and Long Er finally stopped. Both of them were experienced enough to know where to hit to hurt but not kill.

“Oh no…my leg…my back…my hand…”

Xu Youwei and Xu Tiezhui lay on the ground like dying dogs, twitching and groaning in pain.

However, Long Yi and Long Er didn’t hesitate to kick them out of the courtyard.

“Xu Shaochen, you heartless monster! You… you just wait!”

With some effort, Xu Tiezhui, who was less injured, helped his father Xu Youwei to his feet. He glared venomously at Xu Shaochen before spitting out a final threat and leaving.

“Get out! Or are you waiting for me to invite you to stay for dinner?”

Xu Shaochen said this while looking at the woman in jeans standing to the side.

“Ah! I-I’m leaving! Right away!”

The woman in jeans finally reacted, and she hurriedly scrambled out of the courtyard.

“Uncles, I’m sorry for making a scene today. By the way, I brought some gifts for you all. I hope you’ll like them.”

Xu Shaochen addressed the onlookers outside the gate and then motioned to Long Yi and Long Er to bring down the gifts.

“This…this is too much. No, we can’t accept this. After all, we did nothing to help when that bastard Xu Youwei took over your house.”

“Yeah, we’re too ashamed to accept these gifts… we really can’t…”

Seeing the car trunk full of gifts, the crowd was deeply moved, but this made them feel even guiltier.

When Xu Shaochen’s father was alive, he had helped them many times.

But now with Xu Shaochen away, they stood by and watched as his house was taken over, and none dared to stand up against Xu Youwei.

How could they have the face to accept those gifts? Although the village produced scoundrels like Xu Youwei and his son, more often it was home to honest and kind-hearted people.

If they weren’t honest and kind, would Xu Youwei and his son have been able to lord over the village for so many years? If that were the case, they wouldn’t even know where their bodies were buried.

“Alright, I brought them all the way back. They’re just a token of appreciation, nothing valuable. Aren’t you going to make me take them back to Jiangzhou?”

Xu Shaochen pretended to be displeased as he looked at the crowd.

When they heard this, the villagers exchanged looks. None of them insisted any further, but all of them looked very embarrassed, their faces turning red.

“By the way, Shaochen, is this girl your girlfriend? She’s really pretty… but why does she look so familiar?”

In the crowd, an old woman looked at Xu Shaochen and spoke.

“Hahaha, Cui Lian, you don’t recognize her? This is Xinran! I didn’t even recognize her at the village entrance.” Third Uncle laughed heartily.

“Is that Xinran?”

“Wow, she’s really grown into a beauty!”

The others were equally astonished, and soon followed with endless praise, leaving Song Xinran a bit flustered from all the compliments.

……

Meanwhile,

Xu Youwei and Xu Tiezhui limped along the path back home, each step almost sending them tumbling into the fields below.

“Dad, that little bastard went too far! Just because he has a little money? We can’t let this slide!” Xu Tiezhui gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred as if it could materialize.

Xu Youwei replied weakly, “Do you have any ideas? Didn’t you see that he came back with bodyguards? The two of us can’t possibly take him on.”

To be humiliated by some young brat! His reputation as the village chief was utterly shattered today. Of course, he wasn’t willing to let it go. But he had no way to exact revenge on Xu Shaochen.

“Dad, have you forgotten? I’ve mixed with Liu Wenbiao from the county. If he helps us, what’s Xu Shaochen in comparison? The Liu family is worth at least a few million! They practically own Haiwen County.” Xu Tiezhui’s voice was full of admiration when he mentioned Liu Wenbiao.

In his eyes, that’s the life of a real man. Compared to Liu Wenbiao, being a tyrant in Xu Family Village meant nothing.

Xu Youwei’s eyes lit up, “Can you get him to help?”

Even though he was just the village chief, Xu Youwei had been to Haiwen County before and heard of Liu Wenbiao’s fearsome reputation.

To him, if Liu Wenbiao agreed to help, taking revenge on Xu Shaochen would be child’s play.

But the key problem was, why would Liu Wenbiao agree to help them?

“Heh heh.” Xu Tiezhui gave a sinister smile, “I have some connections with him. Plus, when I tell him that Xu Shaochen’s got a stunning beauty with him, I’m sure he’ll come running.”

“Then get to it! By tomorrow morning, I want to see how Xu Shaochen moves into that house, and how he’s kicked out of it!” Xu Youwei said viciously.

“I’ll call him now.” Xu Tiezhui pulled out his Phone and dialed a number he hadn’t called in a long time.

“Is this Brother Biao? It’s me, Little Zhuzi from Xu Family Village… Yes, yes, it’s me. Brother Biao still remembers me; that makes me so excited!”

Xu Tiezhui started with some sickening flattery to warm up the conversation before describing what had happened with Xu Shaochen.

On the other side, Liu Wenbiao was already furious about what had happened earlier that day. He needed an outlet and even more so when he heard about the beauty. Two birds with one stone, he would not refuse.

“Fine, I’ll be there first thing in the morning. But I’m telling you, if that beauty isn’t up to my standards, I’ll kill the little brat Xu Shaochen after dealing with you.”

“Yes, yes, of course, no worries, Brother Biao! You know my taste! She’s absolutely top-tier, the kind that you won’t want to leave alone for the next 365 days!”

Hearing Liu Wenbiao agree, Xu Tiezhui was ecstatic, pounding his chest as he made his promise.

“Yes, yes, Brother Biao, goodbye, goodbye.”

He hung up the Phone obediently, then turned to Xu Youwei with excitement, “Dad, Liu Wenbiao agreed! He’ll be here tomorrow morning!”

“Good. Let that brat enjoy his last night of ease. Tomorrow, he’ll pay the price.” Xu Youwei kicked a stone aside and spoke through gritted teeth.
