Chapter 170: Don’t Bully Honest People

The cause of this incident was very simple. Wang Gensheng returned to his hometown and first gave his mother Wang two kilograms of fat meat. He also put a dozen fish in the water tank at home for the two elders to eat slowly.

"Mom, how are the watermelons in our field growing? I want a lot this time."

"They are growing very well. We have been picking them every day since last week. We have also traded the leftovers with others for vegetables. Your uncle Zuo's family also heard from your father that growing watermelons is a good idea. The watermelons you brought back last year were so delicious that he planted some too, and they are growing well."

"I just came back and told Uncle Zuo about purchasing this batch of watermelons. I'll go to the fields to see how many there are so I can have an idea."

"Go take a look at the fields. I have no idea how many there are."

"Okay, you don't have to cook for me at noon. I have to go back at noon."

"What's wrong with this kid that he has to rush so fast that he doesn't even have time to eat..."

When Wang Gensheng turned around and returned to his private plot, his father Wang and Uncle Zuo were arguing with a lazy man in the village named Ergou.

"Wang Ergou, Gensheng just came back and he's going to buy all the watermelons. How can you come here and steal two to eat today?"

"Lefty, you're not going to eat your two watermelons, are you? You have to make trouble with me, right? Do you believe that I will come to smash all your watermelon fields tonight? If you don't let me eat them, no one else can eat them."

Wang Ergou is well-known in the village for being lazy and gluttonous. He can't do anything and is never satisfied with what he eats.

He seldom took part in collective labor during the day, and his meals were sometimes hungry and sometimes full. When the weather got hot, he would come here every day to grab two watermelons to eat, and then he would come here to relax.

In fact, we couldn’t finish the food at home, so we didn’t argue with him.

When Uncle Zuo heard that he could purchase from the steel mill, he was reluctant to waste it and hoped to sell it for a few more cents.

It was almost noon, and Ergou came to the field to steal watermelon again. Uncle Zuo of course refused, and the two of them started arguing.

Wang's father is the leader of the militia, and Wang Ergou dare not provoke him. Usually, if no one is watching his field, he can secretly take a watermelon from his home and eat it.

Father Wang was watching here. Even if Ergou had the courage, he would not dare to do it, so he just walked to Uncle Zuo's field to pick it.

Of course Uncle Zuo couldn't just watch him do it, so the two of them started fighting.

"What's up, Er Gouzi? Are you even thinking about my house? You don't do your job all day, just stealing things. Believe it or not, I will beat you up."

Father Wang was a fierce man, and his temper would flare up at any moment. He glared at Wang Ergou and walked towards him.

Wang Ergou also knew that he couldn't wait to be beaten, so he pointed his finger at Zuo Shu and threatened to run away:

"Left-handed, you wait for me. If you don't let me eat it, I won't let you sell it."

When Wang Gensheng approached, Wang Ergou had almost run away, and Zuo Shu also sighed:

"He's really bullying an honest man. I have to build a tent here and stay here at night to watch over him. I can't let him do anything to me."

To be honest, this kind of thing was very common in rural areas in the early years, especially among families with large numbers of people, who were often more imposing.

Those who are small in number, especially those whose families have no descendants, will be bullied to death in the village no matter how honest they are.

The situation did not improve until the 1990s, when families no longer had to worry about food or clothing.

"Dad, look at this situation. Can I still count on the watermelons in the field?"

"Why can't we count on it? You make your plans, and don't worry about these things. I'll find a way to deal with them."

Father Wang is still very responsible. His family has not been prosperous over the years and they have often been bullied in the past.

Wang Gensheng's grandfather had two brothers, but it was not until Wang's father's generation that the two families had three children. They were often bullied in the village. Wang's father was also a man with his own ideas and secretly joined the army.

After returning from the war, Wang's father's blood and energy gained from his military service supported the Wang family's village. In the past few years, he worked in the security department of a steel rolling mill.

A hundred years after Wang Gensheng's grandfather passed away, Wang's father moved to the city. The two uncles from his second grandfather's family were often bullied in the village, and they always went to the city to complain to Wang's father.

Only then did we have the scene where Father Wang told the deaf old lady that he wanted to go back to his hometown to visit, and only then did we have the fact that Father Wang replaced his position as security chief with a militia leader and moved back to the countryside.

Uncle Zuo, who was also often bullied in the village, saw that as soon as Wang's father came back, he was able to calm down those who bullied their family, so he took the initiative to move closer to Wang's father's family and keep each other warm.

That's right, they often try their best to have more children, just to prove themselves. Wang Gensheng's two uncles each have three or four children.

Uncle Zuo's family was quite miserable. They had four children, all girls, so they were often laughed at for being extinct and bullied.

He also wanted to have another son, but he couldn't afford to raise so many, so he had to give one of his children away. Aunt Zuo was about to give birth again, so he was waiting to exchange the watermelons in the field for some money.

Take good care of Aunt Zuo. If she can give birth to another son, I will save more money to support her son's education.

At this critical moment, Ergou still comes to bully him, which means he is robbing Uncle Zuo of his life's hope. Who would agree to this?

Therefore, Wang Gensheng was more worried about something going wrong; Wang's father told him not to worry, probably because he had a plan in mind.

Wang Gensheng no longer worried about what to do, but walked into the field, looked at the watermelons, and began to calculate how many watermelons he would get in a week.

In addition to the production of the system space, you have to know exactly how much is reported to the steel mill.

"This time, I have to make sure the factory pays for the goods. I can't let Deputy Director Li delay the payment. How can I let him hold me back all the time?"

After one round, there are about 200 that can be credited to the account.

There are about 300 trees planted in half an acre of land. The seedlings were all grown in the system by Wang Gensheng, who used the soil to stimulate the growth of the seedlings and then planted in the ground. Wang's father often added some manure water to irrigate the seeds, so they grew well.

Just as Wang Gensheng was counting the number, Wang Ergou came back with his men and said:

"I'm reporting Zuo Pai Zi's family and Lao Wang's family for speculation and reselling watermelons. We're all from the same village, so why don't they give us watermelons? And they're even selling them."

"That's right, they don't allow us to eat it. They smashed it for us all, so no one can eat it!"

Seeing Ergou running towards the field again, Dad Wang had already gone to communicate with the production team leader. Now there were only Uncle Zuo and Wang Gensheng in the field.

Seeing that the other party was about to make physical contact, Wang Gensheng shouted anxiously: "Uncle Zuo, a brave man will not suffer a loss in front of him. Forget about the watermelon first, and retreat quickly!"
