Guan Laoqi came and left in a hurry.
As a liaison, he can't afford to offend both parties, but it's really difficult.
Originally, when the villagers refused to continue the dragon boat race, Guan Laoqi was ready to show off his identity as the clan leader and punish them. He never thought that his clan members had no choice.
After all, the conditions offered by the Zhao family are really too tempting.
If it weren't for the many years of friendship with Mr. Xu, Guan Laoqi would have been bribed by the Zhao family.
"Dad, didn't you tell us not to have any contact with the Zhao family?"
After Guan Laoqi left, Boss Xu asked his question.
"I can't hide from you!"
Mr. Xu sighed, "This matter this time was caused by your uncle."
"This time, we can say no."
"What about next time? What about next time?"
"As long as we still live in Lingshui Village, these things will be inevitable."
"If we refuse too many times, your uncle can make our whole family lose a foothold in Linshui Village. Do you believe it?"
Believe it or not
Can you not believe this
In this dragon boat race, the young men in the village have only known each other since childhood. Either you grew up with them, or you were raised by them.
But this time, these brothers who had a small friendship chose to betray their brotherhood.
The reason was not clear to me before, but I understand it now.
Their withdrawal is just to make way for others.
"Dad, then, during our dragon boat race, do you want to...?"
Boss Xu looked at Mr. Xu, he was not willing to cooperate with the Zhao family like this.
Mr. Xu glared at Mr. Xu and said: "Don't fool around. If you can win, then work hard to win. If you win this time, you two brothers will retire with success!"
"Your father, I have always believed that as a human being, one should repay kindness with kindness, and a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of spring."
"When your mother and I first came here, we received a lot of favors from the people in the village. I thought of reciprocating the favor. It is always good to be able to help a bunch of people in the village. It can be regarded as repaying this favor."
"Now it seems that this is not necessary!"
"Besides, it has been so many years since it happened. Over the years, I have done something for the village!"
Not to mention the years when he participated in and won dragon boat races, but for the roads he built a few years ago, he actually doesn't owe much to the village anymore.
"Dad, what exactly does my uncle want to do?"
Boss Xu prides himself on being smart, but so far, he still can't see through it.
Mr. Xu spread his hands and said, "Don't ask me about this!"
"I don't know much about my little uncle."
"Your grandmother told me that your uncle is very thoughtful. Well, to use your grandmother's words, he is as thoughtful as a sieve!"
Mr. Xu was not afraid of scaring his two sons with his words.
After all, he had to let his two sons understand that they could not have the slightest contempt for his little uncle.
Hearing what his father said, the elder Xu was feeling better, while the second elder Xu shivered suddenly. What he dislikes most in his life is people who are too evil-minded.
"Dad, what about that? Can I beat him?"
Xu Laoer was bored for a long time, and suddenly he asked a very straightforward question.
Mr. Xu glanced at his second son and sighed, "If you win the fight, dad has no objection!" (End of Chapter)
