Chapter 5 Battle of Wits

Zhang Xiaobai was sitting on a pebble by the river, shaking two stones in his hand.

Liu Zhi sat beside him, looking at the Gugu River.

Zhang Xiaobai said, "Have you ever heard of fishing in troubled waters?"

Liu Zhi frowned, and said, "Say what you have to say!"

Zhang Xiaobai threw two stones into the river, splashing two splashes.

"The muddier the water, the easier it is to catch fish, the more complicated the situation is, the easier it is to get benefits."

Liu Zhi smiled and said, "You mean, if Li Pingyuan's mining is not going well, my family will profit from it?"

Zhang Xiaobai looked at Liu Zhi and said, "I said earlier that the person who knows me best in Wolong Village is you!"

Liu Zhi shook his head and said, "It is imperative for Li Pingyuan to open a mine. You can't stop it. Don't worry about it. For such a big boss, do you think a small Wolong Village can stop him from making big money?"

Zhang Xiaobai was silent for a while, and said: "I know you want to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade, but as you said, how can such a big boss, your father, and a small village chief help? If you open the mine, There is nothing wrong with your Liu family, do you know how to manage or manage? It’s better to seize the immediate interests and pocket it.”

Liu Zhi's heart sank, but he didn't think of this. His original idea was indeed the same, to have a good relationship with Li Pingyuan and then profit from it.

Thinking about it now, it seems a little naive. In Li Pingyuan's place, a village chief is not as good as a fart.

Liu Zhi smiled wryly and said, "I also said that you are the one who knows me best in Wolong Village!"

Zhang Xiaobai said seriously: "There is no need for us to play tricks. More than half of the villagers in Wolong Village listen to your father. The next thing is very simple. The villagers knew that Li Pingyuan was going to open the mine, and they were not satisfied with the subcontracting fee they got, so they gathered to make trouble. , and then Village Chief Liu will be useful, so I don’t need to talk about the rest, right?”

Liu Zhi thought for a while and said, "What is your purpose for doing this? Could it be that you have become a villager in Wolong Village who has always looked down on you? Or my father who took away your house?"

Zhang Xiaobai stood up, "To get revenge on Li Pingyuan, he is the one who made me homeless. Your father...is just a dog!"

After saying this, Zhang Xiaobai walked away!

The words have already been given to him, so I don't believe that he can bear such a big temptation.

Liu Zhi didn't seem to mind Zhang Xiaobai calling his father like that at all. Sitting by the river and thinking, he finally frowned.

...

The development of the matter was as Zhang Xiaobai expected. Under Liu Zhong's push, the villagers who had signed the agreement with Liu Pingyuan began to gather a crowd to make trouble, demanding the abolition of the previous subcontracting agreement and proposing to increase the money.

The big bald head intends to attract a group of people to make a scene, but it is impossible to injure a few leaders in the middle of the night and kill chickens for the monkeys to see.

Li Pingyuan vetoed Daguang's proposal. In what era, fighting and killing is hardly a big deal, not to mention that as long as money can settle things, it's not a big deal, and he can still afford the money.

Finally, under the mediation of Liu Zhong, Li Pingyuan signed a supplementary agreement with the villagers and compensated some money.

Li Pingyuan spent more than 100,000 yuan more than before, and in the end he just thought it was a spontaneous incident by the villagers. Liu Zhi did it very carefully and covertly, and Liu Zhong also got a lot of benefits from it, and the whole incident came to an end.

The mine was always going to be opened, and Zhang Xiaobai knew that he couldn't stop it, so it would be good for him to spend some trouble and money.

But this is not the goal. Deep in Zhang Xiaobai's heart, he hopes to achieve another goal.

One day, Li Pingyuan will know the truth of this matter, then the relationship between these two people must be separated.

At that time, no matter what Liu Zhong and Liu Zhi do, they will no longer gain Li Pingyuan's trust.

When Zhang Xiaobai told Shi Lei these thoughts, Xiao Shitou was going to be stupid.

"Xiaobai, how did your head grow? Can you even think of such a scheme?"

Zhang Xiaobai said with a wry smile: "Different situations and different experiences lead to different ways of thinking. You can eat and drink every day after you go to school and do your homework. I have been thinking about supporting my family and making money since I was twelve years old. I am used to the cruelty of the world. Cold and warm, I am used to listening to gossip and yin and yang. If I don't think about it, can I live until now?"

Shi Lei shook his head, thinking that it doesn't depend entirely on the environment, it also has something to do with talent.

Zhang Xiaobai took a deep breath and said, "I've decided to go to university."

Grandma is gone, and the only thought is gone, just thinking about guarding the home in the ravine.

But now the family is gone, and there is an additional enemy. If this continues, how long will he be able to take revenge.

Shi Lei said: "Okay, I will go home and ask my dad for money, and I will let you go to college no matter what."

Zhang Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "No need, I have a solution."

Shi Lei pointed to Zhang Xiaobai maliciously, and said with a smile: "I see, you are looking for Su Tong. If one day you really take her down, you will return home in a glorious way, and you will be pissed off to those people who look down on you."

At the mention of that beautiful name, Zhang Xiaobai was in a daze for a while. I am afraid that he will never see her again.

If all goes well, Zhang Xiaobai really wants to develop well in college, make a good living in the society, and confess to her when he is successful.

But there is no such opportunity anymore, there is only one goal now, to find a chance to get revenge, no matter what the price is.

Shi Lei didn't ask further, and said solemnly: "Xiaobai, take good care of Xiuxiu when you get to school. I know that I have no hope with her. I only hope that she will have a good life and not be bullied by others."

Zhang Xiaobai said seriously: "Don't worry, I will take good care of her. Please help me look after the big willow tree at home. As long as the tree is there, I will know where my home is."

After a farewell, Shi Lei sold two bottles of liquor, and the two good brothers confided in their grandmother's grave.

"It's better for my grandma. She said that a good man smokes, drinks, and a man is ambitious. It's really fun to stay with her old man. I really like hanging out at your house, hanging out with you and hanging out with grandma." Shi Lei drank a little too loudly.

That image flashed in Zhang Xiaobai's mind.

On a small square table, grandma was smoking a dry pipe with a smile on her face, and two teenagers were suing for wine with red faces. On the table, there was only a jug of wine and a plate of peanuts.

"Xiaobai, I really miss you. It seems to outsiders that I have helped you a lot, bullshit! They don't know how much bullying I would have suffered at school without you. Xiaobai! Take good care of you, there will always be One day, you drove back in a car and let those bastards see, my good brother Zhang Xiaobai is the most amazing!"

While talking, Shi Lei leaned against the poplar tree and fell asleep.

Zhang Xiaobai knelt down in front of the grave, and said: "Mom, you died in childbirth because of me. I didn't show my filial piety, but you still have to take good care of my grandparents for me, so that they don't suffer from the cold below."

"Xiaobai will come back, our family can't be gone, I will build three more big tile-roofed houses next to the big willow tree, I want everyone to see that I, Zhang Xiaobai, am not a broom star, I am your pride! "
