Chapter 126 The Black Tyrant Brothers Cause Trouble
There is strength in numbers. As expected, as more people gathered, the speed increased and several houses were built in a short time.
At noon, Lin Jingcheng just came back with some hot steamed buns. Shen Wanning called the refugees over and asked them to line up in order to get the steamed buns.
The sun was at its peak at noon, blazing hot against the skin, so intense that exposed skin could even feel a slight sting. Shen Wanning wore a headscarf and a straw hat. She even applied a layer of sunscreen to her face, otherwise she'd be tanned like charcoal in no time.
The Heiba brothers walked slowly behind. When they arrived, there was already a long queue.
Heiba ignored the long line and brought his brothers directly to Shen Wanning. He stretched out his hand and said, "My bun."
Shen Wanning stopped holding the steamed buns and pointed to the back of the line, "If you want to eat steamed buns, line up. No one is allowed to cut in line."
"Queue? Let's see who dares to queue in front of me!" Heiba turned around and looked at the refugees behind him with a fierce face.
The refugees lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look at Heiba, which meant that they were allowed to cut in line.
Shen Wanning sneered, "When you're here, you have to follow my rules. If I say queue, you queue. If you don't queue, don't eat!"
"I'm standing here today. I want to see who dares to pass over me to get the steamed buns!" Heiba stood in front of Shen Wanning with his hands on his chest and his head held high, blocking the way of other refugees.
"Captain Yan, we're in trouble. Since we can't solve the problem, let's deal with the person who created it." Shen Wanning was not angry. She raised her eyebrows and remained calm.
Captain Yan led over twenty officers and surrounded Hei Ba and his men, all of whom drew their knives. Hei Ba panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down and laughed, saying, "It was just a joke. Look how scared the young lady is! Women are just timid."
Shen Wanning ignored him and said to the refugees behind him, "Everyone else, keep coming forward to get the steamed buns."
The other refugees trembled and stepped forward, one by one receiving their steamed buns. Only after the last person had received their bun did Captain Yan and his men let Hei Ba and his men go.
Hei Ba walked slowly to Shen Wanning and extended his hand again, "Is it our turn now?"
"You can only eat if you work. Did you work today?" Shen Wanning asked with a cold snort.
Hei Ba slammed the table hard, "Bring me the steamed buns!"
As soon as he made a move, the other officers immediately surrounded him with knives.
Heiba narrowed his eyes, sending out a dangerous signal, "Good, really good!" He pointed at Shen Wanning and these officials.
After he left, Aunt Zhang leaned over to Shen Wanning's ear and said, "Wanning, this guy is too scary. What if he really hurts someone?"
"Don't worry, mother. With so many officials here, they won't dare to act openly."
"Oh, my right eyelid keeps twitching. With these people in our village, I can't sleep peacefully, for fear that something might happen to them at any time. Oh!" Aunt Zhang covered her chest with her hands, looking worried.
"It's okay, mother. I'll ask the officers to be alert tonight so they don't sleep too soundly." After comforting Aunt Zhang, she turned to the officers and said, "My sister-in-law has prepared the meal. Please come to my humble abode for a meal."
When returning home, Shen Wanning turned around and saw Heiba and his brothers surrounding several refugees and snatching their steamed buns.
Shen Wanning gave Captain Yan a wink, and Captain Yan understood and called his brothers to stand together.
"Mom, please go back and tell my sister-in-law to set up the table and chairs. We will be back soon." Shen Wanning sent Aunt Zhang away, fearing that she would get hurt if there was a quarrel.
"Are you going back with me? Why are you still staying here?" Aunt Zhang didn't see Shen Wanning's expression, so she was a little confused.
"There are still some things to deal with. Mom, you go back first. We will be back soon." Shen Wanning pushed Aunt Zhang forward.
Aunt Zhang was helpless. She told them to be careful and then left to go home.
Captain Yan walked in front, and the group rushed straight towards Heiba.
Seeing them coming, Heiba not only did not stop, but gave them a provocative look.
"Heiba, I said that when you are in Daqing Village, you must abide by the rules of our Daqing Village. You robbed other people's food, you should be punished!" Shen Wanning stood in front of Heiba, with undisguised disgust in her eyes.
Heiba took a big bite of his steamed bun and smiled evilly, "Who said I stole other people's food? They clearly gave it to us themselves." After saying that, he looked at his brothers and asked, "Don't you agree, brothers? Hahahaha."
Shen Wanning turned to look at the refugees who had been robbed. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.
"Did you give Heiba's food voluntarily? Or did they steal it? As long as you speak, I can help you." Shen Wanning looked at the refugees with an anxious face.
However, no one dared to speak. Shen Wanning was filled with anger, sympathizing with their misfortune and angered at their lack of resistance. But she also understood them. They had been oppressed for so long, and now, if they were asked to resist, they simply wouldn't dare.
Heiba raised his eyebrows and looked at her, throwing the steamed bun in his hand back and forth.
Shen Wanning patiently asked again loudly, "Did you give the steamed buns in Heiba's hands willingly, or did they snatch them away from you?"
However, this time she was disappointed again, no one answered.
Captain Yan drew his knife slightly and said, "Why don't we just go straight in? There are so many of us, all holding knives. I don't believe they dare to resist."
Shen Wanning shook her head. "If they themselves don't dare to stand up and tell the truth, what's the point of relying on us alone?"
She turned around in disappointment and prepared to leave when suddenly a young man behind her pointed at Heiba and shouted, "I didn't volunteer. They stole my steamed buns."
Hei Ba looked at the young man, threw the bun in his hand to the ground, stomped on it a few times, and then crushed it with his foot. "Damn it, I think you've got the guts to do this!"
He raised his foot and walked towards the young man, who took a few steps back in fear.
Captain Yan quickly led his men forward and stopped Heiba.
"Are you planning to cause trouble? Captain Yan, do you remember what the sentence is for gathering a crowd to injure others?" Shen Wanning asked.
"Those who gather in a crowd to injure others will be sentenced to one to three years. Those who seriously cause death will be sentenced to death." Captain Yan said loudly, deliberately intimidating Heiba and others.
"Heh, do you think I was scared?" Heiba refused to accept it and rolled up his sleeves to get started.
Black Panther, who was standing behind him, pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother, forget it, forget it. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. We have a long way to go. I don't believe they can stay in Daqing Village forever."
