The Rise of the Youth in the War of Resistance

Chapter 91 The Situation in the Outside World

Compared with Zhao Shao's current simple and plain life training, the outside world is quietly undergoing drastic changes.

Some internal members of the Skinhead Organization saw that the number of Rabbit Party members had decreased significantly and their source of income also began to decline sharply.

This group of people secretly did bad things and began to arrest some poor people to serve as rabbit party members. Some of them even used their positions to retaliate against their opponents who had grudges against them.

For example, such an accident happened in Xitang Town, not far from Changtang Town where Zhao Shao was located.

In Xitang Town.

He Qiu, an ordinary-looking man, rushed into the Wu family compound with a group of people in an angry look on his face early that morning before the sky was fully bright.

He frowned, his eyes burning with anger, and shouted:

"Search thoroughly and don't let anyone go. I seriously suspect Wu Jiatong is part of a group!"

He Qiu shouted while waving his arms vigorously, as if he wanted to vent the anger in his heart through these movements.

The men responded one after another and began to search around the yard unscrupulously like a group of wolves released from a cage.

Some of them pushed the door open roughly, with a loud "bang", the door hit the wall and bounced back;

Some simply overturned the debris in the yard, and pots and pans fell all over the floor, making a harsh sound.

He Qiu stood in the middle of the yard, his hands on his hips, his chest heaving violently, his eyes wide open, staring around with gritted teeth, as if he wanted to see through the Wu family compound.

.........

They were originally a large family well-known in Yueyang County with many servants, and the villagers had tried their best to please them.

But ever since the Wu family climbed up the social ladder, the Wu family members began to become arrogant and completely lost their former humility.

It was during the Northern Expedition, and there were frequent battles and smoke everywhere in the area.

Because of the war, He Qiu's family was forced to leave their hometown and became part of the wandering army.

When He Qiu learned that Xitang Town was not affected by the war, he came here to live with his mother Qiu and his fifteen-year-old sister He You, who were still alive in the family.

When they first arrived, the family of three bought an ordinary house with their remaining money.

He Qiu started to do his old business - buying and selling goods.

He Qiu gets up before dawn every day and goes to the market to buy goods.

He carefully selected each item and bargained with the vendors.

When he got home, he sorted the goods and said to his mother and sister:

"Mom, little sister, our lives will get better."

He had a determined smile on his face and his hands were busy arranging the goods neatly.

Mother Qiu nodded with satisfaction, her eyes gleaming with hope, and said:

"Son, as long as our family is united, we will definitely live a good life."

As Mother Qiu spoke, she picked up the needle and thread and began mending the worn-out clothes.

He You also helped obediently, she said softly:

"Brother, I will also work hard."

He You had two pigtails and was helping to organize the goods with nimble hands and feet, her face brimming with youthful vitality.

At the same time, He Qiu also knew the ins and outs of doing business. He did not pay a penny of tax, and he was also very tactful in currying favor with those he should curry favor with.

In this way, by establishing connections with all parties, He Qiu's business went smoothly.

The life of the family of three is also prosperous and full of hope.

Who knows?

Since the Wu family climbed up the social ladder, not only have the taxes they collect increased, but they have also acted arrogantly, acting as if "my Wu family is the boss of Xitang Town."

They began to exploit the people with impunity.

For a while, people were miserable and complained bitterly, and were indignant about the Wu family's evil deeds.

But when people later learned that Wu Shixun, the eldest son of the Wu family, had become the mayor of Xitang Town, they were even more angry but dared not speak out. The power of the Wu family in this town had reached its peak.

As a result, the Wu family's ambitions also grew wildly.

The youngest son became more and more unscrupulous because of the Wu family's pampering, and often did whatever he wanted in the town.

It was a scorching day, and the youngest son was riding a tall horse and galloping through the streets.

The sound of horse hooves clattered and people dodged in panic.

A woman selling vegetables was unable to dodge and was knocked to the ground by his horse, vomiting blood.

The youngest son of the Wu family not only did not feel the slightest bit of guilt or apology, but instead started cursing:

"You bastard, you're blocking my way!"

He had an arrogant look on his face and was waving a horsewhip, which made a "snapping" sound in the air.

The woman lay on the ground groaning in pain, her face full of pain and helplessness.

The woman, who had already been hit by a horse, now died. Before she died, she stared at Wu Shijie, the young master of the Wu family, with her eyes wide open.

And when you thought he was about to be punished by the society and the law, his elder brother Wu Sehun used his power as the mayor to easily settle the matter for him.

The family members of the Wu family, who had been harmed by the young master, expressed extreme dissatisfaction and anger at Mayor Wu's behavior, and shouted at Mayor Wu, who had come to deal with the matter and left:

"Since you won't help us, I will file a complaint with the county. I don't believe that no one will redress my injustice."

Mayor Wu laughed heartily and said:

"Then go ahead and sue me!

But the prerequisite is that you have to leave Xitang Town!"

He laughed loudly, shook his sleeves arrogantly, and walked away with a swagger as if he didn't care about anyone.

Passersby expressed their pity and helplessness at his evil deeds. A kind-hearted person stepped forward and said to the man who was about to file a lawsuit:

"Brother, please listen to my advice and just bear with your wife's death. Don't sue the authorities. You can't sue them."

The man looked helpless and sympathetic. He gently patted his eldest brother's shoulder and sighed.

The eldest brother, who was holding his dead wife on the street, was shaking constantly, tears and sweat mixed together, and he screamed:

"Don't worry about me, I will make him pay the price."

The eldest brother's tears flowed freely, his hands tightly holding his wife's gradually cold body, his voice was shrill and desperate.

……

But his revenge was like looking for a needle in a haystack, it sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared.

It was only later, when people were chatting, that I learned that the big brother and the passerby who had kindly reminded him on the street that day were brutally killed that night.

A well-informed guest said with great emotion:

"It is said that when the husband died at home, he did not wake up the neighbors. In the end, his body was left in the nearby forest and was eaten by wild dogs."

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, his face full of grief, anger and helplessness.

Another diner looked at the luxurious Wu family compound across the street and sighed deeply, shaking his head.

“What a pity!

The world has changed, good people have a hard time surviving, while bad people are getting away with it."

He sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of resentment at the injustice of the world.
