Chapter 26 The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 26 Disturbance
"Lin, I don't want to fight with you today. Be smart and take your people and leave, or else, don't blame me for being rude!"
Zhang Hu taunted Lin Yong triumphantly. He thought that this Lin guy was too arrogant, disdaining to compete with others. But now, didn't he bring people to occupy this newly set up porridge shed?
Originally, Zhang Hu received a message from his lackeys that a new porridge shed had been set up in the camp today, but Lin Yong brought his people to occupy it. Zhang Hu had always disliked Lin Yong, and this time he was determined to snatch the new porridge shed from Lin Yong's hands.
Lin Yong gave him a cold glance, too lazy to waste words. With a wave of his right hand, he shouted, "Attack!"
Lin Da and the others had long been fed up with the arrogance of Zhang Hu and his gang. They had wanted to beat them up for a long time. Now that their boss had given the order, they rushed over like they were on drugs, making those who had planned to resist cry and beg for mercy, retracting their tails and behaving themselves.
Lin Yong didn't just stand by. He approached Zhang Hu, who was trying to dodge, grabbed him, and threw him to the ground without giving him a chance to resist. With his right fist clenched, he ruthlessly hammered Zhang Hu's stomach, the dull sounds particularly satisfying.
Zhang Hu, tough as he was, didn't beg for mercy even though he was crying out in pain. His few lackeys wanted to come to his aid but were kicked down by Lin Yong one by one.
Mo Yan applauded with satisfaction. She couldn't intervene directly in this situation, so she could only let the elders and children disperse to avoid being accidentally injured.
Lin Yong had some skills, more than enough to deal with Zhang Hu, but Lin Da and the others were only strong, without any fighting skills. In the situation of being outnumbered, they were not in an advantageous position. Mo Yan saw that several people on Lin Yong's side were being overwhelmed and felt extremely anxious. If Zhang Hu and his gang gained the upper hand this time, they would definitely keep coming back to cause trouble like today in the future.
For the sake of future peace, Mo Yan didn't care much. She found a thick stick from the pile of firewood and tightly held it in her hand. She shouted loudly to the elders and children around her, who were equally worried, "If we don't teach them a lesson today, we won't get any of this food. Instead of waiting to starve to death, why don't we fight back? There are so many of us, can't we defeat them?"
These elders and children had a hard time. They could hardly get any food on normal days, often being robbed by Zhang Hu and his gang. Mo Yan's shout immediately stirred up their unpleasant memories. For a moment, their anger and grievances surged up, and their eyes turned red.
"Yes, we can't let these beasts take advantage of us. We must drive them away!"
"Let's all go together and drive them away!"
"Alright, let's go together and drive them away!"
This shout was like a call to arms, and everyone, whether old or young, held a thick stick and rushed to the bad guys, raining blows on them. With their anger burning, everyone exerted their utmost strength. The bad guys were beaten up and cried out in pain, wanting to resist, but being surrounded by more than a dozen or even twenty people, they had no room for resistance at all.
In no time, those thirty or forty people were beaten black and blue, each holding their heads and crying for their parents, begging for mercy in a sorry state.
At this point, Zhang Hu, who had been beaten up and didn't know where was up or down, had completely lost the idea of competing with Lin Yong. He didn't expect that even with so many people he brought, they would all be beaten to the ground. Not to mention himself, these people would probably never dare to go against Lin Yong again in the future. Whether they would listen to him in the future was unknown.
Zhang Hu and his gang slunk away like defeated dogs, while on Mo Yan's side, whether it was Lin Yong and the others or the elders and children, they were all jubilant because they knew that Zhang Hu would never dare to come and cause trouble easily in the future, and their food would not be taken away again.
Lin Yong led the people to restore order, and everyone happily squatted on the side, eating the thick porridge with rice and vegetables. Although the space was still at a basic level and had no other functions besides improving the taste of vegetables and rice, this simple porridge was already a supreme delicacy for the elderly and children who had been starving for a long time.
Seeing them enjoying their meal, Mo Yan was also extremely satisfied.
The food brought today was enough for two meals, and another batch would be made in the afternoon. Mo Yan trusted Lin Yong's character. She had a lot of things to do and couldn't come here every day, so she told Lin Yong about it.
Naturally, Lin Yong wouldn't say anything. He just let Mo Yan rest assured that he would take care of this place well and wouldn't let anyone cause trouble.
That night, while everyone in the family was asleep, Mo Yan entered the space, intending to cultivate seedlings for potatoes and sweet potatoes. She deliberately went to the Jade Platform to take a look at the beads, expecting to see an additional red line. Unexpectedly, she didn't see a single red thread, which made her feel a little depressed. She knew that hoping for the space to upgrade soon couldn't be forced, so after feeling gloomy for a while, she let go of this matter.
In the following days, Mo Yan prepared food on time every day and had Mr. Meng deliver it. In addition to vegetables and staple food (potatoes and sweet potatoes), she also put a basket of eggs under Mr. Meng's disapproving gaze, saying that they were for the children and breastfeeding women. Mr. Meng sighed but didn't say anything more.
When Lin Yong and the group of old men saw the basket of eggs, they all cried like children. After hearing Mr. Meng's explanation, Mo Yan couldn't help but laugh and cry. She hadn't done much at all!
