Chapter 9: Lessons for the Production Team Leader
The ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the pain can leave you completely powerless!
"Brother Ping, why bother? We are all on the same team. Let's go, let's go, to my house to help Brother Xiaohu with the broken bones." Li Bing was quick to seize the opportunity and immediately changed his tone. He knew that Wang Ping's family was poor, and when Kong Xiaohu went to his house, Wang Ping's parents would inevitably have to treat Kong Xiaohu to a meal. However, rice was something Wang Ping's family rarely had, as they saved it for entertaining guests during the New Year and festivals. Li Bing's family still had some rice, so it was not a problem for a few people to have a few meals of plain rice. He understood that Wang Ping's family was poor, and when Kong Xiaohu went to his house, Wang Ping's parents would inevitably have to treat Kong Xiaohu to a meal. However, rice was something Wang Ping's family rarely had, as they saved it for entertaining guests during the New Year and festivals. Li Bing's family still had some rice, so it was not a problem for a few people to have a few meals of plain rice.
Captain Kong, after finishing the meal, I need to remeasure the land at my home. Additionally, there are issues with the classification of land in the team. I suggest that we first categorize all the land in the team into Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3. The land varies in fertility, the soil varies in depth, and the terrain varies in elevation; those who cultivate crops understand this. This classification needs to be collectively discussed by all team members, and then signed for agreement to form a document. The various types of land can be evenly distributed among households, ensuring that no one feels disadvantaged, which would be both fair and reasonable, wouldn't it?
Now, everyone saw Wang Ping subdue Captain Kong Xiaohu again with a single move. Kong Xiaohu is undoubtedly a little tiger, and the entire team fears him. However, compared to Wang Ping, he seems like a three-year-old child, easily defeated. The courage of the people in the Wang family courtyard began to swell, and whispers started to arise.
He actually dared to strike first
"You are disabled; I will report you to the district police station." With the help of Li Bing and others, Kong Xiaohu stood up. His knee was covered in dirt. He was wearing liberation rubber shoes, not straw sandals.
"Do you dare to hit me? Are you tired of living? Hmph!" Wang Ping spat a thick phlegm onto Kong Xiaohu's face, "Do you believe I can break all five of your fingers?"
Wang Ping could not help but smile; the local customs here are quite fierce. First, it was the brothers of Li Bing causing trouble, and now the team leader also resorts to slapping people when there is a disagreement.
I won't go!" Wang Ping said, reaching out to grab Kong Xiaohu's wrist. Kong Xiaohu's face contorted in pain, yet he still gritted his teeth and said to Li Bing and the others, "Let's go, we should head back first
When delivering a slap, one must absolutely avoid spreading the fingers, as this is a major taboo. Spreading the fingers makes it easy for the opponent to counter and seize the fingers. If any finger is caught, a gentle twist or pull can lead to disastrous consequences
In fact, even the squad leaders tacitly accepted that Kong Xiaohu monopolized this radio! No one dared to offend a little tiger like him, as Li Bing's brothers were akin to the claws of the little tiger
Kong Xiaohu's little tiger temper flared up, and with a slap, he charged at Wang Ping.
Kong Xiaohu knelt on one leg before Wang Ping, his forehead drenched in cold sweat, with beads as large as soybeans rolling down.
These few words struck like a thunderclap, leaving Kong Xiaohu gasping for breath, his face turning even darker. As long as this layer of paper is not pierced, everyone can live peacefully; once it is pierced, Kong Xiaohu will lose face.
The entrance of the Wang family's courtyard was crowded with people. At first, everyone was nervously watching Wang Ping confront Li Bing and others. It was not until Wang Ping subdued Li Bing and the others that the people in the Wang family courtyard finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Wang Ping's parents remained tense, they were more curious about where Wang Ping had learned such skills.
"Tell me quickly! I also want to inform you that we need to measure the land with two bamboo poles!" Wang Ping directly pierced the pain of Kong Hu, "And this radio, it is the collective property of the entire team, yet you monopolize it as your own. Hehe, Captain Kong, I refuse to accept this."
I bet you will fold!" Kong Xiaohu's words remained firm, yet his tone softened. Deep down, he was already feeling timid! The two words he was accustomed to using, "I" and "father," no longer dared to escape his lips, replaced instead by "I"
Li Bing and the other brothers were all taken aback, knowing that this time Kong Xiaohu was in serious trouble. The men in the Li family's courtyard couldn't help but feel anxious for Kong Xiaohu, and Li Quanxue was so frightened that he closed his eyes from a distance
Wang Ping reached out and grasped the hand that Kong Xiaohu had swung at him; to be precise, he skillfully caught one of Kong Xiaohu's fingers, the thumb. Kong Xiaohu's slap came with five fingers spread wide, each finger a potential target for being broken.
"Just because of you? You think you can count as anything? Wang Guwen only taught you to write your own name, and now you can write the names of all the team members? Are you an educated youth from a big city? Have you ever been to the cow pen (school) or drunk ink (studied)? You are just like me, a damn illiterate!" Kong Xiaohu mocked.
What you say sounds better than what you sing. Although the land classification has not been formalized in documents, the members of the cooperative understand in their hearts which land is good and which is poor. We all know that good and poor land is allocated among us. You also mentioned that every household should sign, but most people in the team cannot read. How can they sign? With a circle?
Wang Ping shook his head as he engaged with someone of such caliber. He reached out and grasped Kong Xiaohu's thumb, applying gentle pressure. The pain from the compression of the finger joint was unimaginable. Regardless of how tough Kong Xiaohu was, in the blink of an eye, he had to half-kneel on one leg, his thumb being bent by Wang Ping, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Brother Xiao Hu, Brother Ping, let it go, let it go, we are all men, why bother being angry!" Li Bing stepped in to mediate. Kong Xiao Hu and Wang Ping were both individuals he could not afford to offend. However, he and Kong Xiao Hu were like iron brothers; on the surface, he was trying to reconcile, but in reality, he did not want Kong Xiao Hu to suffer any further losses. The current Wang Ping was definitely not someone Kong Xiao Hu could handle.
However, for the sake of face, in front of Li Bing and others, as well as in front of the people in the Wang family's courtyard, one cannot lose face, so he said to bet that Wang would fold his fingers.
With a sharp sound, Wang Ping forcefully twisted the thumb of Kong Xiaohu's large hand, causing him such pain that he nearly fainted. Wang Ping placed his other hand on it, and with a twist of both hands, he dislocated Kong Xiaohu's wrist. When Wang Ping released his grip, Kong Xiaohu's hand hung down as if it were broken. A slight movement caused the friction of the bones to hurt so much that Kong Xiaohu bit his lip and let out a muffled groan.
When has Captain Kong Xiaohu ever been directly insulted as "old man" by someone? It has always been him insulting others. What difference does it make for Wang Ping now? Regardless of the difference, he is still a member of my organization.
Wang Ping smiled; he did not wish to argue with such a stubborn person: "Captain Kong, it is time to go home for breakfast. If you want to make peace with me, come to my house. I will help you set your broken bones. Otherwise, it will take a hundred days for your muscles and bones to heal, and your hand might end up disabled."
"It is not a problem if they do not know how to read; I can teach them to write their own names on the spot," Wang Ping said with a chuckle
"Do you dare?" Kong Xiaohu retorted stubbornly
"Kong Xiaohu, do you think Laozi would dare to break all your fingers?" Wang Ping said mockingly as he looked at Kong Xiaohu. In fact, he had many more painful methods at his disposal, but those were meant for dealing with enemies on the battlefield. Kong Xiaohu was not yet considered his enemy, at most he was just a somewhat unruly peasant from the countryside.
