149: Chapter 148 Calculation 149: Chapter 148 Calculation Geng Erzhu thought to himself, previously helping Yu Weihong act like a dog and biting a lot of people. If it weren’t for following Qin Yue everywhere afterward, he really couldn’t have stayed in the front village any longer. Now was a great chance to regain face, and he had to perform well to win back the villagers’ trust. “Erzhu bro, I heard Mao’er talking about Hun bro’s deeds in Wanbao Village yesterday! Let’s learn from Hun bro too and take care of that damn Xu Haijiang!” suggested a half-grown kid next to Geng Erzhu, eyes shining when he mentioned Liu Hun. “This... but Xu Haijiang is an official. If we hit him... we can’t run away from trouble. What if they come after us?” Geng Erzhu said a bit anxiously to the few people around him. “Erzhu bro, let’s cover our faces and go hit, smash, and grab, then run! What would that Xu Haijiang know?! Besides, look around our village, there’s nothing left here. Let them come if they want; it’s a broken temple anyway! As long as we don’t tell anyone, who would know?!” another person beside him encouraged. “Damn it! Let’s do it once! Gather all the brothers from the village and keep a low profile! Put on masks and follow me to the Township Government! Smash that damn Xu Haijiang!” Geng Erzhu said, immediately summoning people to start preparing. Meanwhile, the two half-grown kids who just persuaded him slipped away to the Taiping Town market when no one was paying attention. The two kids quickly ran to the door of the Ketyunlai Restaurant, where Mao’er was already waiting. “Why did you two come so fast? How’d it go?” Mao’er quickly pulled the two aside and asked. One of the kids said, “Done! We said everything you told us to say, and Erzhu bro is already getting people ready to deal with Xu Haijiang.” “Did you tell them to cover their faces?” Mao’er asked nervously. The other kid immediately said, “I did, I did, I told them to cover their faces. Erzhu bro listened!” Mao’er grinned and said, “Great! Ten bucks each for you, and don’t tell anyone!” The brothers, delighted, took the money and hopped away from the Ketyunlai Restaurant while Mao’er turned and quickly went into the restaurant. He opened the door to a private room and cheerfully said to the person sitting inside, “Hun bro, I did everything you asked!” As he finished speaking, he happily wiped his nose with his hand. Sitting in the room was none other than Liu Hun, and he had already focused his Qi in his ears, clearly hearing the conversation between Mao’er and the two kids. Liu Hun praised Mao’er a bit and sent him away. As soon as Mao’er left the room, the door was pushed open again, and in came a disciple from the Lin Family, who immediately said to Liu Hun, “Hun bro, Mayor Ye has already left with the main officials of the Township Government and important documents to East Town for research.” Liu Hun nodded in satisfaction. These were all part of his plans, from the initial publicity to now inciting the people of the front village to cause trouble, having Ren Peiling take people and important items away for safety. It wasn’t just to show Xu Haijiang the power of the people, but to bring real peace to Taiping Town. Only by making some county people understand that their shenanigans wouldn’t work in Taiping Town could they truly have room for development. That was his goal. “Mengmei, divide the Lin Family disciples into three teams. The first team should monitor the police station. If the police make any move, immediately send someone to inform me. Also, send someone to the Township Government yard to inform Geng Erzhu and his people. The rest should delay the police as much as possible,” Liu Hun said to Lin Mengmei. They hadn’t seen each other for days, and her figure had become even more enchanting; even the slightest movement or glance seemed like she was still on stage, leaving people stunned. Lin Mengmei cheerfully agreed and immediately picked a few people to go to the police station. “The second team should take our printed flyers to the Township Government. While Geng Erzhu and his people hit Xu Haijiang, we put these up. Make sure to leave someone to watch, and the others should plaster them everywhere they can! We want the big shots to see when they arrive, to see what exactly Xu Haijiang promised us,” Liu Hun continued to instruct Lin Mengmei. These flyers weren’t anything else but Xu Haijiang’s plans and promises to the front village, with criticisms by Liu Hun and Ren Peiling after each point. After deploying the second team, Liu Hun said to Lin Mengmei, “Our third team is responsible for assisting. Set up a stage at the Taiping Town market for a show. After Geng Erzhu and his people are done, bring all the people from the front village involved to the market; don’t let them return to the village. Change them into operatic costumes backstage and have them sing and perform. In short, let the people at the market know that Geng Erzhu and his people were performing at the market, nowhere else!” “Okay!” Lin Mengmei responded, giving Liu Hun a flirty look, and led the third team to set up the stage for the show. After Lin Mengmei left, Liu Hun asked Qin Yue, “Sister Qin Yue, how many days have we cut off aid to the front village?” “Five days! I remember clearly,” replied Qin Yue to Liu Hun. Ever since she became the nominal village chief, she dared not slack off, noting down everything in her notebook. “It must have been hard for these villagers; is everything ready with the food, drinks, and dishes?” Liu Hun asked Qin Yue again. “Don’t worry. Everything is ready. Just give the word, and we’ll deliver it to the front village immediately!” Qin Yue said to Liu Hun, assuming he intended to send supplies directly to the front village, but she was mistaken! Liu Hun smiled slightly and said, “Go back to the village and have everyone bring food, drink, and meat to the front village!” Qin Yue was taken aback, puzzled why they needed to involve their own villagers in extending comfort to others, pondering if they were also taking something away themselves. “We’re going to hold a feast for the front village people! Tell them to keep serving food and drinks. If they wake up, let them eat and drink again. If they’re drunk, carry them to the village to sleep, and when they wake, let them eat and drink again!” Liu Hun said with a smile. That was his brand of “warmth.” “Wouldn’t this endless eating and drinking make them confused? And where do we get pots, pans, and cooks?” Qin Yue asked Liu Hun in confusion, without understanding his reasoning. “I’m more worried they’d not get confused! As for pots, pans, and cooks, Sister Qin Yue, this is Ketyunlai, and these are the least of our concerns!” Liu Hun smiled at Qin Yue after speaking, then immediately had her return to the village. A few minutes later, Shi Lan hauled several trailers full of pots, pans, and cooks to the front village. And at that moment, unwittingly, Xu Haijiang, who had just awakened from a nap, cheerfully arrived at the meeting room, planted himself in the head seat, and leisurely sipped tea. He said to Xiao Li, who had come with him from the county, “Xiao Li, is Mayor Ye in the office?” Xiao Li scratched his head and said, “Leader Xu, it’s strange indeed. Apart from our county group members, it’s like people in this yard have disappeared— even the gatekeeper grandfather is nowhere to be found. I heard they went to East Town for research, but isn’t that too many people?” “Oh?!” Xu Haijiang raised an eyebrow and said, unconcerned, “Humph! Don’t worry. Ren Peiling is just a fish waiting to be fried, can’t escape! How dare she show me attitude! I’ll want her dead! Sooner or later, I’ll be the one calling the shots in Taiping Town!” “Bang!” Just as Xu Haijiang finished his harsh words, the meeting room door was kicked open. Xu Haijiang and Xiao Liu stared dumbfounded at the people with multicolored cloths covering their faces. “Who here is the damn Xu Haijiang?!” one of the leaders pointed and asked Xu Haijiang and Xiao Liu. “Ha! Someone dares insult me in Taiping Town? Which cesspool did you crawl out of?” Xu Haijiang shot up, pointing at the intruders, berating them as if they were nothing. “That’s him! Get him!” the leader shouted, and suddenly stones, sticks, and dung forks concealed by the crowd all emerged. Xu Haijiang’s heart dropped like an uncontrolled elevator to the bottom when he saw the fork with dung scratching toward his face. Only two words echoed in his mind: “Doomed!” The show on Taiping Town’s stage today included a program where anyone could join in and sing a tune, especially memorable was Geng Erzhu and others who, noted for their pithy remarks, were indelibly marked in people’s minds. And the sound of feasting from the front village persisted until the entire place reeked of alcohol. Upon returning to the Township Government courtyard from her research trip to East Town, Ren Peiling was momentarily stunned. Although Liu Hun had prepared her, she was still shocked by the sight of the newly plastered Township Government covered in flyers. While Ren Peiling was surprised, those unprepared were even more astounded, feeling as though they had returned to the frenzied 1960s. “Ugh, ugh, ugh...” Suddenly! Clumsily hopping out of the meeting room came a person wrapped up like a zongzi, with a big “Pig” character scrawled across their shaved head, leaving a trail of red and yellow. “That... that’s Team Leader Xu! Yes, yes, it’s Team Leader Xu!” someone immediately recognized Xu Haijiang behind Ren Peiling. Prompted by this shout, Ren Peiling instantly snapped back to reality and instructed the people around, “Listen up, everyone. Maintain the current situation; do not touch anything. This matter is of utmost importance. I’ll notify the county leaders immediately!”
