Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Stirring Up Trouble
Li Yungui held back his anger, "Comrade, didn’t you check if this is approved by higher authorities?"
This guy was newly transferred from the Capital and wanted to achieve something. So he received Yan Shuping’s report, didn’t think much about it, nor did he report it to higher-ups, afraid they’d take credit for his work. So, he brought everyone over.
The people below knew about this but couldn’t stand him, so no one reminded him, all wanting to watch the spectacle.
"How could this happen? The city doesn’t have that authority either."
Now Li Yungui realized this was just a fool.
"Comrade, since there’s a report, I’d like to see the report letter. Is the report from a real name or anonymously?"
Now Zhou Qiang was stunned. "Why should I let you see the report letter?"
"Heh heh heh, if you don’t let me see it, do you believe you won’t be able to walk out of Li Family Village?"
"Are you resisting the law?"
"Resisting the law? What damn law do you represent? Show me the report letter and tell me who the reporter is."
Now Zhou Qiang was a bit scared, "I’m carrying out official duties."
Li Yungui just stared at him. "Even if it’s official duty, we have the right to know."
Yan Shuping was in the crowd, her face drained of color, she regretted it. She was scared. She never thought the usually unnoticed Village Chief of Li Family Village could be so tough?
Zhou Qiang pulled out the report letter and handed it to Li Yungui, "The report was about that female comrade."
Li Yungui looked at Yan Shuping in the crowd; before he could speak, Qu Xiaoli let out a scream and rushed over, grabbing Yan’s hair and dragging her out.
"You heartless creature, how did Li Family Village ever wrong you? You damn heartless bastard."
At this moment, several more women charged out, punching and kicking Yan Shuping.
"Stop it, stop it, you are making a mistake."
Li Yungui didn’t make a sound, and this time, several more women joined in.
Yan Shuping didn’t struggle or resist from the beginning; she was genuinely scared and regretful.
"Xue, go fetch the documents for our chicken farm and pig farm and show them to this comrade."
Zhou Qiang looked at the situation and realized they were really authorized by the higher-ups.
But Zhou Qiang wouldn’t admit his mistake. He stiffened his neck, "I already said, the higher-ups don’t have that authority; it’s what the big leaders stipulated."
Li Yungui had long studied those documents thoroughly and looked at this fool.
At this time, the old village chief of Li Family Village, who was also Li Yungui’s third uncle, arrived.
"Comrade, are you very dissatisfied with the higher authorities?"
Zhou Qiang was frightened; he couldn’t afford such a charge, angrily pushing Mr. Li.
The old man fell to the ground instantly; a few people behind Zhou Qiang were terrified. They knew this was serious.
Li Yungui’s eyes turned red.
"Beat them! No one can walk out of Li Family Village."
With one order from Li Yungui, the men of Li Family Village charged forward.
A few who knew Li Yungui pleaded, "Village Chief Li, it’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."
Li Yungui ignored them completely. They also realized they had really overstepped this time, so they didn’t resist, thus getting off a bit easier.
Zhou Qiang was still defiant, even fighting back, which only angered the villagers more.
A few young lads wanted to join in but were stopped by Li Yungui, "Quickly help your third uncle find Doctor Liu."
Li Yunqiang’s attitude was much better here. Mainly because these people were just waiting outside the animal pen and didn’t intend to rush in. They knew the farms in Li Family Village were approved from above.
They were summoned by Zhou Qiang. Without Zhou Qiang here, they certainly wouldn’t cause trouble.
"Comrades, let’s head to the chicken farm. The person in charge of our village is there," Li Yunqiang said politely.
They certainly agreed. It was supposed to be their promotion, so why was someone sent from elsewhere?
Of course, they weren’t pleased, and Zhou Qiang just wasn’t good with people, always acted superior, doing foolish things.
They knew very well that the farms here in Li Family Village were compliant, but they didn’t tell him, letting him hang instead.
"Alright, let’s head over there. We follow our leader’s arrangements."
Li Yunqiang nodded, understanding this. The situation at the chicken farm was unclear, but his second brother was there, so they headed straight there.
Before the five people reached the chicken farm, they already heard the commotion. Li Yunqiang sprinted his way over.
The other four followed behind him.
When the four reached the chicken farm entrance, they were dumbfounded. What was going on here? Never had they seen such a scene. But the four didn’t enter; they stood outside watching, unsure of what to do.
This was bad; big trouble was brewing. Seeing it was enough for Wei Kaiyun, "Village Chief Li, this is the entrance to the chicken farm. You hear that? The chickens are clucking. Don’t scare them so they won’t lay eggs."
Li Yungui had calmed down by now; he didn’t want to blow things out of proportion.
And yes, if the chickens get scared and stop laying eggs, that would indeed be a big issue.
"Stop."
His shout made everyone in the village cease action.
"Take these few to the brigade headquarters. If we have fewer eggs tomorrow, take note. Not a single one of them will escape without compensating me, even if it’s a single cent?"
The beaten few were even more regretful now. What a mess, never had auditors gotten beaten.
They didn’t dare to speak of it; it was too humiliating.
The villagers stayed silent, realizing this was the entrance to the chicken farm—no mere chicken farm in the eyes of the villagers, but a money-maker.
Only Zhou Qiang lay on the ground moaning. Li Yungui frowned and glared at him, whispering, "Shut his mouth. Fifth Uncle, once we leave, go into the chicken farm to check things out. If there’s any issue, I’ll risk my life against them."
The entire village, over three hundred people along with more than ten young educated youths, followed behind those who had been beaten.
Those beaten dared not make a sound. The unity of Li Family Village was intimidating; they were genuinely afraid they wouldn’t leave the village.
Shi Xian in Jiang Xinyu’s arms was excited, this child unafraid of big events.
Old Yang, worried for Zhao Xiaoli, sent Zhang Qiu’e back. He couldn’t leave, so he carried his son, following Jiang Xinyu, watching his nephew’s excited expression, glancing at his son in his arms, and also smiling broadly.
These two are bound troublemakers. It’s really worrisome how to manage them.
Upon reaching the brigade headquarters, Li Yungui instructed to light several fires.
"Guodong, you drive, take your Fourth Uncle and Cun Shan Uncle to the city to file a complaint. I’ll be waiting here. Today’s matter won’t just end like this."
The unaffected people thought to themselves, you hit our people too, why can’t you just let it go?
