Chapter 5: Remote Communication
Last year, after their father was released from prison, they learned about their dropping out of school to get married and then being jilted. They were so furious that they had a big argument with their father, Wang Aiguo. Afterwards, they went to the Zhang family and grabbed the necks of the brothers Zhang Dacheng and Zhang Ercheng, directly throwing them into the family's cesspit
"You all, can you even act like human beings?" Aunt Liu was also extremely infuriated.
Furthermore, the Zhang family brothers have been harassing your two sisters daily, attempting to take advantage of your family's misfortunes to plot against them
At this moment, the loudspeaker continued to roar: "I will be back in July next year. If I hear even a word about you bullying my two sisters when I return, I will turn you into fertilizer, do you believe it?"
"Don't! Come on, Mountain King, Iron, Iron Brothers, we were just joking, we didn't do anything, right?" Zhang Dacheng said, trembling in fear.
Um um ... ...
Upon hearing this sound, the crying Da Ya and Er Ya immediately stood up
It was not Er Ya who was speaking, but rather Da Ya, who had always been timid and gentle. At this moment, influenced by Wang Tiejun's earlier words, her courage had also grown.
Aunt Liu exclaimed, "That kid from the Iron Army is impressive; he is still in America. I wonder how these two brothers are faring now?"
The Five-Seven Brigade consists of four individuals, yet there are several thousand people. Upon hearing his voice, everyone was taken aback. Has Wang Keshan returned
Zhang Dacheng glanced at Daya, his eyes revealing the same expression as his brother's. Upon hearing this, he chuckled and said: "I fear it might be a call asking for money, perhaps he has gotten into some trouble in the United States again"
"Busy making money, haha. By the way, uncle, how has my family been these past few months?" Wang Tiejun asked
Sister, wait for me
Although he has broken off the engagement, he still wishes to employ certain means to win over Er Ya. Unfortunately, Er Ya has never paid him any attention, leaving him at a loss for how to proceed
However, she was soon taken aback when she saw the three mothers and daughters huddling together, whispering a few words, and then bursting into cheerful laughter
Zhang Ercheng scolded
Liu Damei put down her hoe and looked towards the direction of the brigade office with surprise
Er Ya suddenly became afraid, as she was all too aware of her younger brother's temperament
Seeing my mother running towards this way, the two girls, Da Ya and Er Ya, who were occasionally glancing this way from a distance, suddenly became suspicious
In a fit of anger and despair, Da Ya and Er Ya thought of their father being forced to flee to America, fearing they would never see him again in this lifetime. Overcome with both anger and sorrow, they squatted on the ground and began to cry, covering their faces.
"Big, big brother, he, he can't hear." Zhang Ercheng stammered
Oh oh
"Not at all, you seem anxious now. Where have you been these past few months?" Liu Hong said.
It is said that those who have been imprisoned are all fugitives. Their brothers believed that Wang Tiejun would not return, which is why they dared to bully Daya and Erya. Now that the fugitive has suddenly returned, they are terrified.
Wang Aiguo advised: "What is the point of bringing him back? He has served time in prison, and upon his return, he will be pointed at and looked down upon by everyone, living in constant unease"
You all, now you are counting on the day when your brother becomes successful, but please do not forget your two sisters. If you could lend a hand to us, we could also have a good life.
Liu Hongtong scolded and then said: "You went there and not a single phone call has come back. People in the village say you died in America. Your parents and sister worry about you every day. How can that be good?"
If he dares to touch us, he will have to spend a lifetime in prison
What nonsense!
Well, I will go tell Da Ya and Er Ya that their parents have become successful now and must not forget the two sisters who endured hardships for them
About an hour later, Wang Aiguo returned in a somewhat dazed state
Zhang Ercheng glanced at the beautiful Er Ya, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes, as he chuckled and spoke.
Old man
Liu Damei let out a long sigh of relief, her heart also settling down from mid-air, and then she joyfully wept, saying: "His father, son, he has finally made something of himself"
Hello? After ringing five times, the call was connected
He is indeed a convicted felon who has completed his sentence. In ancient times, he would have had a mark tattooed on his forehead, and wherever he went, he would be regarded as a despicable thief.
Liu Damei was not only surprised but also alarmed, exclaiming: "This child, he, he wouldn't have gone down the wrong path, would he? How could it be so easy to earn money from Americans?"
Come in quickly, the call hasn't been hung up yet, your kid is still cursing the Zhang brothers. Goodness, I'm worried he might crawl out from the other end of the line
Oh, oh, my son said, he said...
You speak nonsense, my old man is wrongfully imprisoned, he is not a labor reform prisoner, one day he will find that woman to prove his innocence. Hmph, you brothers are tied together, and you are not even worth one of my old man's arms, what qualifications do you have to speak of him
Puff!
Er Ya, do not pay attention to them
Wang Aiguo quickened his pace to Liu Damei's side and excitedly said: "He said he has found a formal job, which can earn him around 100,000 yuan in a year. In a few months, he will send money back home to pay off the debts."
"My sister is right, my old man never tells lies. Just wait and see, he can kill you with a single slap," Er Ya shouted sharply.
Over there in the field, the Zhang brothers were initially a bit flustered, but after the trumpet fell silent, they regained their composure.
What?
Dayang has a gentle personality and immediately held onto Eryang
Zhang Dacheng shouted angrily
"Do not interfere, bring the loudspeaker over here, I have something to say," Wang Tiejun shouted
"Uncle Hongtong, has my dad arrived?" he asked anxiously
They recalled the words spoken by their younger brother Tie Jun before he went to the United States, saying that once he started earning money, he would support them to attend university. They wished to pursue their studies and did not want to spend their entire lives plowing the fields and feeding pigs
Zhang Dagou, Zhang Ergou, you two dogs, listen carefully to what I have to say...
You, you all
At this moment, Wang Tiejun from the United States waited for a while, and seeing that it had been almost twenty-five minutes, he could not help but dial the phone again
Upon hearing this menacing remark, the Zhang brothers were so frightened that their bodies trembled, and their faces turned pale.
My old man keeps his word; he said he would return next year, and he will definitely come back. If you continue to bully us, just wait and see
The tiger may fall but does not die in its might, compared to you brothers, these two are merely two country dogs. Fortunately, they called off the engagement two years ago; not marrying them is indeed your good fortune.
Aunt Liu, standing nearby with a hoe in hand, looked at the approaching trio of women and sighed, "Alas, that kid Tie Jun is just a source of worry, with a temper that flares up easily, and I don't know what trouble he has stirred up again. This family never has a moment of peace."
At that moment, the loudspeaker suddenly fell silent, which was actually due to Liu Hongtong fearing that the situation would escalate, so he turned it off
Er Ya quickly dropped the hoe and followed suit
Dayang's back instantly straightened; her brother is coming back. Let’s see who will dare to bully her and her sisters in the future
Daya and Erya burst into laughter simultaneously
Wang Aiguo hurried over and took the microphone
King of the Mountain
In the field, the Zhang brothers continued to provoke Da Ya and Er Ya with their words, when suddenly the village loudspeaker blared to life again
You all? Wuwu ... ...
Wang Tiejun's tremendous roar echoed through the loudspeaker, resonating throughout the entire Wuqida Team
"His father, his son..." Liu Damei called out loudly from a distance
Call!
He, has he returned?" Zhang Dacheng nervously gazed towards the direction of the brigade headquarters
Liu Hongtong waved his hand repeatedly
Wang Aiguo nodded repeatedly, and within this short time, the couple was already in tears.
Aunt Liu scolded, "You two brothers are truly despicable, elevating some while trampling on others. When their family was doing well, you shamelessly climbed up to them, but now that they are down on their luck, you are making every effort to push them further into the mud. Be careful, for there will be retribution."
Wang Tiejun's short hair stood on end as he angrily exclaimed, "Have those two scoundrels eaten the hearts of bears and the gall of leopards? Uncle, bring me the horn, quickly!"
Hmm...
Son
... ...
Upon hearing the roar, Zhang Dacheng and Zhang Ercheng trembled all over, their faces changing drastically
What is there to be afraid of? I don't believe that kid would dare to lay a hand on us. It would be outrageous. He is just a labor reform inmate; if he dares to touch even a finger of ours, we will immediately report it to the police and have him executed.
Liu Damei, however, wept and said: "Indeed, my son will not be able to come back often in the future, and this makes me anxious. He just mentioned that he would return in July next year, but I fear he might be trying to scare the Zhang family."
The Zhang brothers spoke in a sarcastic and ambiguous manner
Wang Aiguo hurriedly advised: "It should not be the case. He said there is a basketball team in the United States that wants him to be a practice partner. He is no longer working illegally and has returned to his original profession."
Sister, no, could it be that Old Er really got into trouble in America?
What do you want to do, you rascal? Liu Hongtong hurriedly asked
The Zhang brothers exchanged glances, merely encouraging themselves verbally, unaware of whether Wang Tiejun would truly return or not
At this moment, Aunt Liu interjected, "Dacheng, Ercheng, I advise you to refrain from provoking Daya and Erya. Be cautious, as Iron Army may return and throw you into the cesspool again"
Son
Indeed, we dare not step into the homes of the labor reform prisoners; even our pigsty is cleaner than their home, for fear of soiling our feet
Day and Er looked at each other, both with a sense of anticipation in their eyes
Zhang Dacheng, after calming down, said coldly: "Laugh, what is there to laugh about? That kid Wang Tiejun is finished; he has spent a day in prison, and for the rest of his life, he will be a convict. He will never turn his life around."
Zhang Dacheng and Zhang Ercheng were so enraged that their faces turned dark, as these words struck directly at their hearts. Both of them stood at no more than 1.7 meters tall, reaching only to Wang Tiejun's chest. Indeed, when they joined forces, they had both been knocked down by that bastard Wang Tiejun with a single slap, and it had happened more than once.
Aunt Liu, Wang Tiejun's imprisonment is a form of retribution
Sister, the old man will be back in July next year. " Er Ya jumped up excitedly
Brother, I didn't expect that the labor camp inmate is still alive, I fear he might be begging in the United States
This matter became a topic of laughter in the area at that time, it was the inner demons of the Zhang brothers, and upon hearing this, they were so enraged that their whole bodies trembled
Liu Damei wiped her tears while putting down the hoe and hurried towards her family's field
Er Ya has a fiery personality and immediately starts to retort
What?
"Captain, I, my family Tiejun..." Just then, Wang Aiguo arrived at the brigade office, panting heavily.
I will go take a look
Dayan ran while carrying a hoe, and only after a few steps did she remember to throw the hoe away
Wang Aiguo, who had almost run to the headquarters, was taken aback
You all better have thought it through now, prepare which piece of land you want, I can satisfy you all, I will definitely dig a deep pit for you, and while I'm at it, I'll also dig up your ancestral grave and bury you all together
What does it matter if he comes back? He is still a poor wretch.
"Is it really back?" Zhang Ercheng said with a trembling voice
"Indeed, you are absolutely right, brother. We have been deceived by him. This fellow is truly worthless, and he even mentioned coming back next year. I believe he will never return in his lifetime." Zhang Ercheng nodded repeatedly.
Now that Daya and Erya have gained momentum, their presence immediately diminished, and after stammering a few words, they left in a dejected manner
