Chapter 630 The Bully in the Mountain Valley
Update released! Readers have all gone to check it out!
The person who came out was wearing a neat cotton coat and had a pretty and delicate appearance.
Her almond-shaped eyes looked slightly tired.
It was none other than Huang Yuejuan, whom he had sent away!
"Sister Yuejuan?"
"Oh my, it's Tuwazi! No wonder his voice sounded so familiar!"
Huang Yuejuan's tired eyes instantly brightened, revealing a light of joy.
Overwhelmed with excitement, she threw herself into Lu Yao's arms:
"Tuwazi, I miss you!"
Just as he was about to hug Lu Yao and kiss him... a fair little face appeared behind Lu Yao, her clear eyes filled with curiosity:
"Is that you, Sister Yuejuan?"
Huang Yuejuan screamed in fright.
He regained his senses and looked behind Lu Yao.
Fortunately, it was Zuo Xiaoying who was with her, not Ding Mei.
She quickly got up from Lu Yao's embrace, awkwardly trying to cover it up:
"Why did you all come? I'm so excited!"
Lu Yao was still excited.
The stunningly beautiful woman was the first one he won over after his rebirth, and he has a special feeling for her.
He didn't shy away from Zuo Xiaoying and reached out to grab Huang Yuejuan's hand:
"Sister Yuejuan, don't you live in the city? What are you doing here in this remote mountain valley?"
Huang Yuejuan sighed:
"Well, it's a long story!"
So he briefly explained his family situation to Lu Yao.
Huang Yuejuan's family does live in Liaochun City, but this is her maternal grandfather's house.
Uncle Guo is her maternal grandfather.
The telegram from home was correct; my father was indeed sick. He had gotten into a fight with my in-laws, and the stress caused him to have a heart attack and be hospitalized.
However, Liao Chun's medical skills are quite good, and he has recovered and is out of danger.
However, Huang Yuejuan's maternal grandfather, Uncle Guo, was beaten and injured. Yuejuan's mother, who was taking care of herself as a husband, could not take care of her father.
So the only option was to bring Huang Yuejuan back.
Fearing that the commune there wouldn't release them, they sent a telegram.
The current situation is that Huang's mother is taking care of Huang's father in the city hospital, while Huang Yuejuan is taking care of her maternal grandfather in the mountains.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yao quickly went inside to check on the old man.
As Lu Yao entered the room, the first thing that hit his nose was the smell of herbs mixed with the smoky smell from the stove.
The windows were covered with kraft paper, and the light that came in was a dim, yellowish twilight.
An old man was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), covered with a large, dark cotton quilt, with only his head showing.
His face was so swollen it was distorted, and his left eye socket was a purplish-black color, so swollen that his eye was squeezed into a slit.
There was a cut on the corner of my mouth, which had scabbed over.
He looks even worse off than the old man in Xiao Shuanzi's family.
Huang Yuejuan followed her in, squatted down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and said softly:
Grandpa, someone has come to see you.
Uncle Guo's unswollen eye twitched, looking towards Lu Yao.
After staring for a while, he moved his lips, his voice hoarse: "Who...is this?"
"Grandpa, this is the country bumpkin I told you about, the militia company commander from Jiapigou, the one who helped me a lot."
Uncle Guo's eyes lit up, and he tried to sit up, but he grimaced as soon as he moved.
Lu Yao quickly went over and pressed him down: "Don't move, don't move, lie down and talk."
Uncle Guo took a deep breath, lay back down, stared at Lu Yao for a while, then suddenly grinned as if to laugh, which pulled at the wound on the corner of his mouth, and he hissed.
"That girl Yuejuan... she talks about you a lot. What brings you all this way to this remote mountain valley?"
Lu Yao sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed): "I came to take care of some business. I didn't expect Sister Yuejuan to be here too."
Uncle Guo nodded and closed his eyes to rest for a while.
Zuo Xiaoying stood behind Lu Yao, peeked out to look at Uncle Guo's face, and whispered to Huang Yuejuan:
"Sister Yuejuan, who hit Grandpa on this injury?"
Huang Yuejuan's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip without saying a word.
Uncle Guo opened his eyes again and waved his hand:
"Those bastards from Liudaogou beat him up."
Lu Yao asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Uncle Guo sighed and began to speak slowly.
Liudaogou is located north of Qidaogou, separated by a ridge.
Two villages are arguing over a mountain where matsutake mushrooms grow. These mushrooms have become valuable in the last two years, but the boundary is unclear, and the dispute has been going on for a long time.
A few days ago, Jin Laosan from Liudaogou brought people over to cut down trees, saying that people from his area wanted to build houses.
The people from Qidaogou wouldn't allow it, and an argument broke out, which escalated into a physical fight.
Huang Yuejuan whispered from the side:
"Er Mangzi, Liu Waizui, and Li Laogeda from the village were also beaten, and three of them are bedridden and can't get up."
Lu Yao frowned: "Is nobody in charge? What about the commune?"
Uncle Guo shook his head: "There are many people in Liudaogou. The five Jin brothers control the village. The commune director is related to them and has tried to mediate several times, but it was all just to smooth things over. After this fight, they still say that the mountain is theirs. From now on, if anyone from Qidaogou dares to go up the mountain, we'll beat them every time we see them."
After resting for a while, he said again:
"Most importantly, the Jin family has a relative named Jin Biao in North Korea who is helping them. That kid has a grudge against Erpangzi. Erpangzi and I collect hides, so he's angry with us people from Qidaogou too..."
Lu Yao found this quite confusing.
No rush, let the old man explain slowly.
Also, take a look at the medicine that Huang Yuejuan prepared.
These are all herbs used to treat external injuries, so they are appropriate for the condition.
Huang Yuejuan also treated the villagers who were beaten in the village.
Speaking of Jin Biao, the other party's relative abroad, he was a bandit before liberation and was later driven out of the country by the People's Liberation Army.
Speaking of Jin Biao, the other party's relative abroad, he was a bandit before liberation and was later driven out of the country by the People's Liberation Army.
Later, they also built up a faction in North Korea and frequently smuggled themselves back.
Because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the people in the city don't get the news. By the time the commune militia arrive, the people have already left.
Besides, the commune director was also a relative of the Jin family, so he wasn't really arresting people properly.
Although it's called a dispute, Qidaogou has actually been bullied by Liudaogou for many years.
No wonder Qidaogou is poor; any good stuff there immediately caught the eye of the Jin brothers from Liudaogou.
The terraced fields in the mountain valleys produce little grain, there are few side businesses, and they can't even afford guns for hunting.
Fortunately, Uncle Guo and Er Mangzi were able to maintain contact with a trafficker overseas named Er Pangzi, so they could make some money off furs or something.
This also prevented Jin Biao from making a fortune.
This bandit who escaped wanted to monopolize the animal hide business in the area. Since he couldn't defeat Erpangzi's organization, he decided to attack the root cause by supporting the Jin family of Liudaogou in bullying Qidaogou.
Lu Yao listened without saying a word, his brows furrowed.
This is a complicated matter.
This place is too remote and lacks a sound legal system.
The other side has a gang backing them up; they can't be dealt with by me alone.
Unless he goes to trade with the Jin family himself, Uncle Guo is no longer able to help him sell the hides in his current state.
However, bypassing Uncle Guo and directly contacting the Jin family is not appropriate in terms of both sentiment and reason.
Sister Yuejuan looked at him, treating him like her pillar of support!
As a result, he went and made a deal with her family's enemy... This doesn't align with his own principles!
Lu Yao may be a womanizer and have very low standards when it comes to picking up girls, but he always sticks to his principles when it comes to loyalty and friendship.
I would never do anything to betray my friends.
Uncle Guo isn't my friend, but Huang Yuejuan is!
Friendships where you can play naked together are truly extraordinary.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zuo Xiaoying couldn't help but ask Uncle Guo:
"So you just put up with being bullied like that?"
