Chapter 49 Capture Li Liangtian and Prevent a Car Accident
When everyone saw the village head, their expressions immediately changed!
Shuanzhu turned pale with fright, thinking that something was wrong. He immediately looked at Li Liangtian, who was leading the group.
Li Liangtian, holding the torch, paused in mid-air, swallowed hard, and looked a little guilty.
He underestimated this brat, who actually brought the village head here!
Shuanzhu asked somewhat timidly, "Liangtian, the village head is coming, what should we do?"
"Should we still burn it or not?"
Li Liangtian reached out and slapped Shuanzhu across the face, angrily saying, "We've come this far, if we can't force a solution, then we'll all just abandon the entire harvest!"
Shuanzhu's family lived very close to the village head's family. Always afraid of the fair and just village head, he shrank back and said, "Liangtian, I'm scared..."
"Everyone's here, what are you afraid of?"
The village head arrived exhausted and panting heavily. He stepped forward, coldly surveyed the villagers, led by Li Liangtian, who were causing trouble, and sternly rebuked them.
"In the face of drought, instead of uniting to find solutions, you've gathered together to cause trouble. I think you've all gone mad with greed!"
The villagers who had caused the disturbance all lowered their heads, realizing they were in the wrong.
Mr. Shen originally came to dissuade Li Liangtian, since Li Liangtian had led people to his house first, and he had followed to his eldest son's house. If the overturned cart were burned, his eldest son would definitely resent him when he realized what had happened.
But even after he shouted himself hoarse, no one listened to a word he said.
Now that the village head has arrived, he immediately drew a line between himself and Li Liangtian and the villagers behind him, and quietly moved to the camp of another group of villagers who came to block him.
Aunt Chunhua and a few timid villagers saw Mr. Shen move to the other side, hesitated for a moment, and then silently followed.
Holding a torch, Li Liangtian mustered his courage and said, "Village head, you've come at the right time. Most of the villagers from Guihua Village have arrived. Let's get straight to the point and ask Qingchuan to help us find a solution to the drought problem in the fertile and medium-sized fields!"
Shui angrily gritted his teeth and said, "You deal with your good and medium-sized fields, why are you burning our dry land? Have all the villagers with dry land offended you?"
Shen Gou Dan immediately chimed in, "That's right, what did we do to offend you? You want to burn our car? I think you're just jealous that we built the car and you're deliberately trying to destroy it!"
"Exactly! That despicable bastard is just jealous, he's got envy!"
"You heartless, rotten bastard!"
"..."
"..."
The group of villagers who came to stop him were outraged and began to criticize Li Liangtian.
If it weren't for the village head coming, they would have definitely pinned Li Liangtian and Shuanzhu to the ground and beaten them senseless!
The village head stepped forward, stood opposite Li Liangtian, his face dark and sullen. "Is this how you ask for favors and seek help?"
You stupid idiot!
He continued, "Qingchuan is an honest and kind-hearted man. These past few days, his family has been quietly building the car. Only at the last minute did they gather the villagers from the dry fields to install it in the river, solving the drought problem in the dry fields and helping everyone a lot. He didn't complain about the hardship or fatigue, and he didn't accept a single penny from anyone. Based on this alone, he couldn't possibly be someone who hides his wealth!"
"If he can come up with a way to help our fertile and medium-sized fields solve the drought, he will definitely tell you. You can threaten him with burning the carts with torches, and then you'll get the solution."
The villagers in Hantian chimed in, "Yes, we all know what kind of person Qingchuan is. He would never keep anything from us. Li Liangtian, put down the torch and stop making things difficult for him!"
Besides, if someone helps you find a solution, it's because they're kind-hearted; if they don't, that's perfectly acceptable—they don't owe you anything.
If you speak kindly and try to reason with them, but then threaten them with a torch, and they don't drag you to the authorities, that's already quite merciful.
Li Liangtian held up a torch, his face sinister, refusing to back down.
"I won't let them in. Why should our crops in our good and medium-sized fields have to dry out while your dry fields get flooded?"
If we're going to die of drought, let's all die of drought together!
If there's a total crop failure, then let's all have a total crop failure!
He didn't want to see others having food to eat while his family could only starve with their necks choked.
The village head was immediately enraged upon hearing this.
On the way, Shen Lao's maid told him something that he still couldn't quite believe. It turned out that Li Liangtian was so jealous that he was blinded by greed and wanted to ruin the irrigation system for the dry fields.
"Li Liangtian, I'll ask you one more time, will you put down the torch or not?"
"Don't let it go!"
The village headman was furious and shouted, "Men, arrest Li Liangtian and take him back to the village!"
Anyone who dares to challenge his bottom line is simply asking for trouble.
With the drought raging, as the village head, I have a responsibility to lead everyone in solving the difficulties. No matter which side of the fields has been dry, it's helping him out of trouble. This clueless scoundrel is trying to sabotage it.
Without even waiting to see if he agrees!
Upon hearing the village head's order, Shui Sheng, Gou Dan, and the others immediately rushed forward to seize Li Liangtian. Li Liangtian, looking defiant, fought back fiercely and threw his torch at the overturned cart.
"what--"
"Oh my god—"
Everyone gasped in surprise. Just as the torch was about to fall into the wooden trough filled with water from the overturned cart, Shen Qingchuan reacted quickly and rolled down the embankment, kicking the pedal. The overturned cart suddenly accelerated and spun around, sending the torch over the trough and into the river with a "plop".
The villagers in the dry fields had their hearts in their throats, and only when they saw that the overturned vehicle had been saved did they breathe a heavy sigh of relief.
The crowd cheered, "That's great..."
"Phew, that scared me to death! Thank goodness it's saved!"
"The Qingchuan family spent a lot of time and effort to build the Xiahe River and bring in water, but it was almost ruined by that damned bastard Li Liangtian."
"Yes, the village head must deal with him severely; he must not be let off!"
Several villagers immediately went down to the embankment and pulled Shen Qingchuan up.
Li Liangtian was forced to kneel on the ground by Shuisheng Gou Dan and several villagers, his neck stiff and his face full of resentment.
"Let me go... let me go now!"
The village headman stepped forward with a stern face and slapped Li Liangtian across the face.
With a "smack," the blow made Li Liangtian's head buzz, and half of his face instantly swelled up.
"I'll take this slap for your parents today to teach you a lesson for your jealousy and malicious intentions. You took advantage of the villagers' eagerness to solve the drought problem and incited them to destroy our hard work!"
Li Liangtian was beaten in public, and feeling indignant, he shouted with red eyes, "I wanted to solve the drought problem in fertile fields and dry fields, was I wrong?"
The village head, with a stern face, said in a deep voice, "You're wrong!"
"You were wrong to incite the crowd to force people to find solutions! You were even more wrong to threaten them with torches! And when the threats failed, you threw the torches at the overturned vehicle in a fit of rage, which was wrong on top of wrong!"
He turned to look at the crowd of villagers, his face serious.
“I know that the drought in the fields is severe and everyone is suffering. I have also been to the next village these past few days and am discussing solutions with the other village leaders.”
“Our Guihua Village’s fields are divided into three grades: good fields, medium fields, and dry fields. Every year, dry fields yield the least grain and are the most severely affected by drought when there are no rains for several days. Now that the dry field problem has been solved, we only have good and medium fields left. If everyone works together to find a solution, isn’t that better than making a fuss and getting nothing done?”
