Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Fourth Grandfather glared at him and asked. Guo Xinshu thought he was scared, so he snorted, "Arresting you and putting you in jail is the least of your worries, there's more..."

Old Wang coughed lightly, showing he still had some principles and stopped him from spouting nonsense any further.

Unexpectedly, the fourth grandfather grinned and laughed, then said to the people close to him, "Why don't we go together? I've been feeling a bit guilty about just loafing around in the village, so let's go somewhere else to retire."

The elderly people nearby joined in the laughter, their mouths agape, yet not a single tooth could be found among them.

"Old man, aren't you afraid of getting arrested? Zhao Qin is still young."

Guo Xinshu spoke again, silencing everyone's laughter. Fourth Grandfather's face visibly darkened. "Do you know what Aqin means to the village?"

Before Guo Xinshu could reply, Fourth Grandfather looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think Ah Qin is?"

"It's the lifeblood of our entire village."

"He is Mazu's own grandson."

"It's the livelihood of everyone in our village."

"It's our village's greatest treasure."

The old man nodded in satisfaction, then pointed at Guo Xinshu, "He said he wants to arrest Aqin, what should we do?"

"No problem, we've been living a long time and we're tired of it anyway. For the sake of our children and grandchildren, it's just a matter of eating somewhere else." The speaker was Old Lin, Pingping's grandfather.

"Take them down."

“Selene’s mother came to our village saying she was going to cure our village’s treasure. This is outrageous!”

Upon seeing this, Sun Keping broke out in a cold sweat. He mentally cursed Guo Xinshu's ancestors for eight generations—how incredibly stupid of him to dare provoke such a crowd of elderly people!

But fearing things would get out of control, he quickly stepped forward, "Grandpa, you..."

"Get out of the way." Fourth Grandfather waved his hand dismissively, ignoring him completely, and looked at Guo Xinshu, "Are you really going to arrest Aqin?"

"No no."

Fourth Grandfather glared at Sun Keping, "I'm asking about him. Isn't he from the capital? Isn't he a higher-ranking official than you?"

As he spoke, his gaze turned to Guo Xinshu again.

If Guo Xinshu were to back down now and keep quiet, nothing would happen. But, being habitually arrogant, he felt he had had enough by now. Ignoring Old Wang's attempt to pull his hand, he stubbornly said, "You all have absolutely no sense of responsibility!"

It's only thanks to the current favorable policies that you've been saved. If it were forty years ago, you would all have had to undergo re-education…

Seemingly realizing he hadn't spoken lightly, he immediately added, "Reform is the least of it; you might get shot."

"What, you want to kill us?" Fourth Grandfather's thin face was trembling, not from fear, but from anger at this guy. "Beat him up, beat him so badly I'll be the bullet feeder."

Before he could even speak, some people had already started making their move.

As soon as he spoke, a group of elderly men and women surrounded the four of them, some raising their hands, others stretching out their legs.

Sun Keping was automatically pushed to the outside by them, and seeing this, he was even more sweating. If either side made a mistake, things would get really messy.

But he only has two hands; he can't hold so many people!

I had just pulled an old woman away, and before I could let go, I heard her say, "Fine, you dare to hit me."

"Auntie, I was just trying to pull you..." she said, and then let go of her hand.

The old lady immediately turned back and joined the fray.

Sun Keping was on the verge of tears. He truly hadn't expected things to develop to this point. If he had cursed Guo Xinshu's ancestors eight generations back before, now he even had the urge to dig up Guo's ancestral graves.

Of the four men from the capital, three were not much younger than Fourth Grandfather, so they naturally lacked fighting ability and were knocked to the ground after only a couple of blows.

Guo Xinshu was still young, but he didn't dare to really fight back. Instead, he pushed the old men and women in front of him so hard they stumbled and fell.

"You dare lay a hand on me? You're asking for it!" The words had barely left his mouth when a fist came crashing down on his face, slamming into his mouth. Blood gushed from his nose, and he spat out several teeth mixed with blood onto the ground.

"Ah, my teeth..." he screamed, reaching up to touch his nose, only to find his hand covered in blood. He panicked even more, "Blood...so much blood, I'm going to die..."

"Stop fighting! Someone's going to die!" Sun Keping shouted, jumping up and down. He genuinely didn't dare to lay a hand on anyone.

He had just grabbed an old man, but the old man suddenly lay down on the ground, saying he was seriously injured, which terrified him. When he stopped pulling him away, the old man got up and rejoined the fight.

Just then, Chen Kun and Liu Jing arrived quickly with four or five people.

Stunned by what she saw, Liu Jing lightly patted the young man who had brought the news on the head, saying, "Didn't they say that Fourth Grandfather was being bullied? This is clearly him bullying someone."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. It'll be troublesome if something really goes wrong. Quickly pull them away." Chen Kun said, stepping into the fray first.

As he spoke, he carefully squeezed his way into the crowd, using his body to block a group of elderly people from continuing their violence.

Everyone followed suit and finally separated the two sides. In the middle of the field, only Lao Wang, Guo Xinshu, and the other three were left groaning, and it was unclear whether they were injured or not.

"Xiao Kun, what are you doing here? We caused this mess. Don't worry, we won't fight anymore. You should leave now." Grandpa Si could be a rogue, but he was afraid of dragging the young people into it; maintaining the village's daily order was still important.

"Fourth Grandfather, what's wrong?" Liu Jing asked.

Chen Kun interjected, "Is now the time to ask that?"

He leaned closer to his great-uncle and said, "Great-uncle, it's almost noon. You should call the grandparents home for lunch, and leave the rest to me."

"There's no reason for you, a young man, to take care of things for us. We..."

"It was the director's idea; he couldn't come in person for this occasion." Chen Kun lied; Old Zhao had just returned from town and wasn't home yet.

"That's what the big country said. Okay, then we'll go back first. Remember, we'll take care of things if anything happens."

"Okay, I understand."

The elderly men and women were walking home when Fourth Grandpa glanced at a few young men beside him and winked at one of them.

He saw it clearly: the punch that hit Guo Xinshu's door just now was delivered by this young man. Goodness, that was really powerful; he knocked out several teeth.

The young man grinned and gave his great-uncle a thumbs-up.

"They're the murderers, we can't leave!" Guo Xinshu wailed, lying on the ground. He was missing a few teeth, so his speech was slightly slurred.

Chen Kun glanced coldly at the four people lying on the ground before walking up to Sun Keping. "You're a leader from the city, aren't you?"

"I'm from the city..." Sun Keping stated his position and the purpose of his visit with a frustrated expression.

"I've already arranged a car. Boss, what do you think? Should we take the four elderly people to the hospital first? We can discuss the rest when our director returns."

"Okay, so is your village going with an individual?"

"Our deputy director is home, I'm sending a message to him..."

Just then, Old Zhang came running over, and before he could even catch his breath, he said, "What's going on? Why are they fighting like this?"

"Let's put that aside for now, where's the car?"

The car arrived quickly, and the villagers helped lift the four men into it. When they touched their injuries, the four cried out in pain again.

While carrying the people, Chen Kun gave all four of them a quick check-up. He walked up to Old Zhang and said, "Uncle Zhang, it's not a big deal. The worst that happened was that he broke two ribs."

"They're still young. They're from the capital, and they got beaten up in our village."

"I was there, and it looked like a fight," one of the young men who had been standing by said.

Old Zhang exclaimed in surprise, "Who are you?"

"I'm a tourist," the young man blurted out, almost revealing that he was Leifeng.
