Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 80 Trouble on North Mountain
Saturday, noon.

Xu Chen staggered out of the dormitory and went to the "back street" to eat a bowl of rice noodles alone, plus a chicken leg and a braised egg.

After waiting for a while, I heard a car horn coming from the intersection.

The black Accord stopped at the intersection, and Li Rui drove to pick him up.

Li Rui got out of the car, called out "Brother Chen" with a smile, and went to open the passenger door.

Xu Chen got in the car and drove towards the town.

On the way, Li Rui was driving and chatting with Xu Chen.

After this period of contact, Xu Chen has a better understanding of Li Rui.

Including the fierce past of "Brother Rui", and some of his interactions with "Brother Bing"...

When they were about to drive out of the city, Li Rui's cell phone rang.

He answered the call with one hand on the steering wheel, responded to the call a few times, turned to Xu Chen and said:

"Brother Chen, we have to go to the pharmacy first."

Xu Chen: "What's wrong?"

Li Rui: "My fourth aunt called and asked me to buy some gauze, iodine, Band-Aids, etc."

Xu Chen: "Who is injured?"

Li Rui: "Aunt Si didn't elaborate, but she seemed very anxious."

Xu Chen: "Are you in the factory? I'll go over with you later!"

There happened to be a pharmacy at the corner of the intersection. Li Rui pulled over and asked Xu Chen to wait in the car while he went downstairs to buy medicine.

……

Twenty minutes later, the black Accord drove into the factory.

The signs of "Dongchen Shares" and "Chenxin Seedlings" were hung high, and my father's yellow van was parked at the door.

There was also an agricultural tricycle and a 28-inch bicycle parked there.

Xu Chen frowned.

This 28-inch bicycle belongs to my uncle Xu Zhishan.

And that agricultural tricycle belonged to my aunt Xu Zhiyan...

What are uncle and aunt doing here?
Li Rui parked the car and the two got out and walked quickly inside.

When I arrived at the back dormitory, I ran into my third uncle Zhang Yongqing head-on. He looked panicked and seemed to be frightened.

Xu Chen: "Uncle, what happened?"

Zhang Yongqing adjusted his glasses, looking anxious:
"Your fourth uncle went to the North Mountain to arrange watering, but he had some conflicts with the villagers and was beaten!"

"..."

The door was pushed open and Aunt Xu Zhiyan came out.

"Xiaochen, you're here!"

"Aunt, how is Fourth Uncle?"

"It's okay, nothing serious. Have you bought the gauze and iodine?"

Li Rui held the bag and handed it over.

Aunt took it and said to Xu Chen:

"Your uncle and I were in the factory next door. We heard that the fourth child was beaten, so we came to check."

Having said that, he turned and went into the house.

Xu Chen followed in.

Fourth Uncle was sitting on the sofa with some blood on his forehead.

Fourth Aunt was sitting nearby, obviously having just cried.

My uncle Xu Zhishan was standing nearby, smoking a pipe.

Xu Chen: "Fourth Uncle..."

Fourth uncle Xu Zhilin raised his head:
"Xiao Chen is here!"

He smiled and said:
"Look, you're all here! I just got some minor injuries, it's not serious at all!"

My aunt came forward with the bag:
"Stop talking, Fourth Brother. I'll pack it for you first!"

My aunt and fourth aunt took action and quickly treated my fourth uncle Xu Zhilin's wound.

In addition to the forehead, there were also some scratches on the right hand.

"My case is not serious, just a little scratch, it will be fine in two days!"

Xu Zhilin took a puff of his cigarette and continued:
"Don't tell my second brother, he's still on a business trip. Don't rush back, there's really no need!"

Seeing that Fourth Uncle was really fine, Xu Chen poured him a glass of warm water and said, "Fourth Uncle, what happened?"

Xu Zhilin took a puff of cigarette and said:

"Xiao Chen, this is an adult matter, you should stop caring about it.

It's a little troublesome, but it's not a big deal. It only costs a little money and I'll take care of it tomorrow."

Aunt Xu Zhiyan said at the side:

"Fourth brother, you've been beaten, and it's not a big deal?
Why do you have to farm this land with your second brother..."

Xu Zhilin looked unhappy:
"Swallow, stop talking nonsense!"

When the aunt saw Xu Chen standing aside, she also felt that what she had just said was inappropriate, so she shut up.

Xu Chen: "Uncle, what's going on? I can't help you, but can you at least give me some advice?"

Fourth Uncle took a sip of water and said:

“Today I went to Beishan Lian Village to arrange watering, but the people in charge of the well refused to release water.

They were a couple of young boys. I argued with them for a few words and then they started to attack me.

This is clearly an attempt to find fault. It is probably the two companies that previously competed with my second brother for the land. They are jealous of our bid for the highway and are trying to make trouble for us on purpose.

It was also them who were involved in the fertilizer incident last time.

The two families were from Beishan Lian Village and were very familiar with the people in charge of water and electricity.”

The fourth aunt on the side said:

"Not only that, several farmers who leased their land to us are also clamoring for more money!"

Fourth uncle said:

"How dare they?! We have already signed the contract, how can they still come and rob us?"

Fourth Aunt: "But it is their territory after all, it won't be easy for them to play tricks on us.

The people who beat you up today were obviously brought here on purpose!
Those young men are obviously not the farmers who farm nearby and release water!"

Xu Chen listened silently without saying a word.

It is already very clear that someone in Beishan Liancun is deliberately making trouble.

The last time I tried to stop my fourth uncle from buying fertilizers, I failed. Now he is taking direct action.

Not only did they prevent the farmers from watering the crops, they also instigated those farmers to demand more money...

Uncle Xu Zhishan, who was smoking a pipe, coughed and said:
"I told the second brother not to plant the seedlings! Now you are suffering, right?
Those troublemakers in Beishan Lian Village are all cowards!

I think the problem you are facing cannot be solved!

It’s better to clear the land quickly and stop growing seedlings. It’s better to continue working in the factory with the third brother!

Fourth Brother, I advise you not to follow Second Brother’s lead…”

Fourth uncle Xu Zhilin was a little unhappy, but facing this eldest brother, he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Xu Chen said nothing, but turned his head and glanced at Li Rui.

Li Rui just followed in and has been standing at the door.

He exchanged glances with Xu Chen, took out his phone from his pocket, and walked out without saying a word...

Xu Chen looked at Xu Zhilin:
"Uncle, you just said you would deal with it tomorrow. How are you going to deal with it?"

Fourth Uncle thought for a moment and said:

"I'll go find their brigade village committee. We have signed a formal contract. If someone is causing trouble there, the brigade people must take care of it!

As for the other households that leased the land to us, I will give them a little extra money and give them some oil, rice, etc.

They are all farmers. Give them a little profit to prevent them from causing trouble..."

Fourth Aunt showed some impatience and said:

"What's the use of this?
Those people in charge of watering the plants beat you. How could the people in the village committee not know about this?
Maybe it was arranged by the village committee!"

Xu Chen remained silent and just listened quietly.

After a while, Li Rui pushed the door open and came in again.

Xu Chen glanced at him.

Li Rui held a cigarette in his mouth and said nothing, but just nodded at Xu Chen.

Xu Chen also nodded to Li Rui.

He lowered his head to ponder again, then said:

"Uncle, I'll take care of this."
