Chen Dan was heartbroken and tears fell, Xiao Li also wiped away her tears without stopping. Shen Huai's inner feelings were filled with resentment and anger towards such relatives.

  Although he would have liked to shout at Chen Tong and Shao Zheng to rush up and grab his uncle's family, beating them severely, he also knew that this would only make Chen Dan and Xiao Li's hearts even more distressed.

  "Chen Tong, your sister didn't suffer a loss, don't be impulsive." Shen Huai shouted to Chen Tong, seemingly forgetting that the kick on Sun Yong's face earlier was his doing.

  Chen Tong withdrew his foot and retreated back to Shen Huai's side.

  Sun Yong saw Chen Tong retreat, and his courage increased a bit. He whispered to Chen Dan again: "Take the house out to posthumously, is there any reason? You don't enter the door all day, and you eat inside and outside. Do you have the face to cry? You can afford to lose this person, I can't afford to lose this person..."

  Chen Tong could see that Shen Huan had a crush on his sister, but he didn't know if his sister and Shen Huan were actually together. He also didn't want Sun Yong to talk about his sister like that, so he spat at the ground, almost hitting Sun Yong's face from a few steps away.

  "Director Shen is the one I introduced to rent a house, 200 yuan per month in rent, and it was also through me that he gave it to Little Li. If you, Sun Yong, have any complaints, come at me! You can do all sorts of despicable things, but if you keep putting on airs, I won't hesitate to beat you to death!"

  Chen Tong knew that his sister's marriage to Sun Yong was a mere formality, and he detested this good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat, drink, visit prostitutes, and gamble, without even a shred of dignity. Rolling up his sleeves, he couldn't help but want to go over and give Sun Yong a beating to vent his anger.

  Shen Huai looked at all this coldly, his aunt probably fearing that Chen Tong would get violent, walked over to block the front, and with a loud thud sat on the ground, disheveled and crying: "My family is really unlucky, we've gotten involved with a rotten woman who eats inside and scratches outside, can't even give birth to a child. If I had known earlier that 20,000 yuan could buy a mother pig, it would have given birth to dozens of piglets..."

  "You're a useless old woman, can't even hold your grandson, why don't you ask if your son is capable or not!" Shao Zheng couldn't help but interject.

  "My son can make other women's bellies big, but he can't make hers big. Which rotten woman is so incompetent?" Sun Yong's mother started scolding and shouted loudly without restraint.

  Shen Huai didn't expect his elder brother Sun Yong to be messing around outside and even got someone's belly big. This mess, mixed with muddy water, he also didn't know what to do to make Chen Dan less heartbroken...

  Shao Zheng and Chen Tong had no experience in dealing with rural women who were prone to outbursts of anger, and for a moment they were at a loss.

  Shen Huai looked at the village branch secretary, Sun Guangwu, who was standing aside and trying to shrink away, with a cold eye. Pointing at his face, he said: "You're Sun Guangwu, the village branch secretary of Sunjiadun Village, aren't you? Mayor He mentioned you to me before. What's going on here?"

  Although Shen Hua had not yet had the opportunity to meet with the village cadres below, his deeds had already been spread among various villages. Village branch secretary Sun Guangwu was not a foolish person, and upon hearing what Shao Zheng and Chen Tong said, he immediately thought of who this person in front of him was.

  Sun Guangwu originally came to pull the cart, but what he never expected was that Sun Yuanguis beautiful wife would actually find this rascal as her lover.

  Although they didn't witness the scene of being pressed to death, those town officials couldn't help but speak in a low voice when talking about it. Sun Guangwu stood beside them, feeling like digging a hole to bury himself, as if he had never been there.

  November sky, Sun Guangwu was still wearing autumn clothes and woolen sweater under his jacket. In the blink of an eye, his back was soaked with cold sweat. At this time, he was recognized by Shen Hua, who pointed at his face and questioned him. His old face turned from black to purple, from purple to clear, stuttering: "Shen, Shen, Shen... Secretary, I, I, I... I really don't know what's going on?"

  "Are you really unaware or just pretending to be?" Shen Huai suppressed the anger in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to slap him.

  This kind of thing cannot be presided over by village cadres, if he hadn't actually died and just occupied someone else's body, I don't know what kind of bullying Xiao Li has suffered from this group of beasts.

  "I, I, I also came to understand the situation later..." Sun Guangwu's tears were about to fall too. He knew that after Shen Hua took over the steel plant, in just half a month, he had already taken down several people. As a village branch secretary, he didn't dare to mess with this big shot.

  "Sun Zhishu, what are you talking about?" Sun Yuanguo didn't know who Shen Huai was, but hearing Sun Guangwu's sudden change of tone made him want to shift the blame. He felt annoyed and said, "The old house was divided unfairly from the start, and Xiao Li is also my niece, she's only 15 years old and can't make any decisions on her own. Isn't it you who said that renting a house requires my signature, otherwise no one else's will do?"

  Sun Guangwu was too busy to care about Sun Yuanguis's invitation for a few drinks, he hated that he couldn't go up and grab his neck, not letting him speak nonsense again, spitting saliva as he scolded:

  "I've come to understand the situation, and I'm asking you, aren't you ashamed? Haiwen has passed away, and as his elder brother, instead of helping out, you're thinking of taking over the old house. You're being foolish, can I be foolish with you? Based on this point alone, how can you have a say in what happens to the house? Furthermore, it was Chen Tong who introduced the buyer, and the money also went through Chen Tong's hands. Your mouths are all dirty, like a group of shrews, don't you have any dignity?"

  Sun Guangwu turned his back, calling out to Sun Yuanguo to squeeze his eyes shut, secretly praying: Just please don't provoke this hoodlum, the small village of Sunjiadun can't withstand this kind of trouble.

  Shen Huai said to Chen Tong, "My car is just outside. You, your sister and Xiao Li go first..." He knew that Chen Dan had all sorts of unbearable thoughts in her heart, and staying would only make her more heartbroken, so he let Chen Tong and Shao Zheng leave first.

  Chen Tong and Shao Zheng left first, while Shen Huai walked to the pile of furniture that had been thrown out in the middle of the courtyard, found the old yellow wooden round carving, put his hands behind his back, and coldly stared at Sun Guangwu: "I don't care what situation this family is in, I rented this house with a lease, someone broke into my rented house, threw all my things out, making a mess... This matter can't be settled so easily. Now, I'm leaving it to you, Sun Guangwu, to take responsibility. You come to the town tomorrow and give me an explanation. If you don't give me an explanation, I'll make sure to give you one tomorrow..."

  Shen Huai dropped this sentence and walked out, but Sun Guangwu heard it and his soul flew away:

  Shen Huaizhen gave him an account, how dare he want it?

  Sun Guangwu wanted to chase after him to explain, but his feet felt heavy as lead, and he really didn't have the courage to face Shen Huai.

  Sun Guangwu was stunned for a moment, then chased away the onlookers from left and right, pointing at Sun Yuanguo: "You, you, I've gotten you killed!"

  Sun Yuanguo was still holding a bellyful of fire towards Sun Guangwu's sudden change of face, and scolded: "Can he still swallow you? Look at your little temper! He's still the village branch secretary."

  "He's the new deputy secretary of the town, don't mess with him!" Sun Guangwu thought to himself and felt a chill run down his spine. He said to the woman who was still sitting on the ground, "Get up! You can't make a living by being reckless. Do you think the government can't really take care of you? Don't cause any more trouble, think about how to clean up your act. You can't force me to really call the police station and have all four of you taken away!"

  "How dare you!" Sun Yuanguo said with a scowl.

  Sun Guangwu also got angry, turned around and was about to leave: "I'll go notify the police station to come and arrest you, watch me dare not? You, damn Sun Yuanguo, having some money, dared to point at my face and scold 'your mother', you bastard, open your eyes and take a look, don't forget whose territory this is!"

  "What can a deputy secretary do to me? I'm not even afraid of the king, what are you afraid of? You're afraid of being given a hard time, at most you won't be the village branch secretary. Come to the kiln factory, I'll give you a salary!" Sun Yuanguo was annoyed again, but still didn't dare offend Sun Guangwu.

  "How come you didn't go to the town to ask around, your few stinky cents aren't even enough to make a fart, what's the point of contracting that kiln factory?" Sun Guangwu was so anxious he was jumping up and down, wishing he could open Sun Yuanguo's head and pour everything he knew into it, making him see things clearly. "You say Secretary Du is so formidable, on the first day he had people knocked to the ground, their hair disheveled, not even a fart was let out. What's your guts worth, how many catties, you still want to fight with others, aren't you afraid of being crushed halfway?"

  "He's the new boss of the steel factory, isn't he the one who drove a Mercedes-Benz at the entrance of the steel factory the other day?" Sun Yong tore off a corner of the newspaper and stuffed it into his still-bleeding nose.

  He spent his days in town eating, drinking and whoring around, so he knew about the big things that had happened in town a few days ago. At this time, he guessed Shen Huan's identity and was also extremely surprised.

  "It's him."

  Sun Guangwu pulled over a stool and sat down. Over the years, he had received many benefits from Sun Yuanguo, and didn't want to push him too hard, but Sun Yuanguo refused to back down, lacking the courage to wait for the newly arrived deputy secretary to deal with him.

  "Is that really the new factory director who was running wildly at the steel plant entrance? How did Du Lao Hu manage to get him to lower his head?" Sun Yuanguo was also somewhat surprised, he wasn't completely unaware of the situation, but had only heard some rumors and hadn't taken them to heart, thinking others were just exaggerating.

  Before Sun Guangwu, he was the branch secretary of Sunjiadun Village. Later, in order to take over the contract for the village's brick kiln factory, he stepped down and let Sun Guangwu become the branch secretary. He is familiar with the cadres in the town and knows that Du Lao Hu is a powerful figure in Meixi Town who can cover the sky with one hand. If Du Lao Hu had been given a bit more temper, then the rumors about this new secretary over the past few days would probably not be false.

  "The town has turned upside down, and although Du Jian, the party secretary, hasn't been pulled down, he's completely lost his temper. The town has had several meetings, all of which were presided over by He Qing. The steel factory is now fully in charge of this new deputy secretary," Sun Guangwu said patiently. "The other day I went to the town and had a drink with Huang Yaoming. Huang Yaoming said that if you offend He Qing, you'll be scolded for a while and wear small shoes for a while; if you offend the new deputy secretary, you won't even know how you died. Now, more than half of the people in power at the steel factory have been directly brought down by him. Do you know Guo Quan? Just because he wore leather shoes into the factory area, he was almost scolded to tears and is now being sent back to the town to be the deputy director of the enterprise office. He's been demoted two levels, not even as good as a village branch secretary. You say, you've lost all these things, refrigerators, color TVs, each one worth several thousand yuan, do you think they dare to directly call the police and have you arrested and sentenced to three to five years?"
