Chapter 100

Luo Xiaojun bitterly regretted not checking the almanac before leaving home today. Why was everything going so wrong? It was like a dragon in shallow water being teased by shrimp! It was one thing for a country bumpkin to swagger around in front of him, but for a farmer to dare to challenge him, who had at least mixed in the university and absorbed a few years of urban modernity, was just too much!

Without five thousand yuan, they wouldn't let him get the car out. What a piece of junk!

Damn, he, the young master Luo, had never suffered a loss in the entire Tianyuan City. He never thought he would end up feeling so frustrated in this poor mountain village!

However, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't lose his temper. Yang Zibo was sitting right next to him. Not to mention him, even his father would be cautious in front of Yang Zibo. If he really acted on his whims, not only would he not become Yang Zibo's son-in-law, but his father would probably be the first to beat him.

His father, who was usually so domineering, would smile at Yang Zibo. Luo Xiaojun felt that his father was no longer the same in front of Yang Zibo. No wonder, with Yang Zibo as their patron, the Luo family could get things done smoothly. This was probably what people meant by "one person attaining enlightenment, and all the chickens and dogs ascending to heaven."

Damn, this was how things were nowadays. Ninety percent of people hated corrupt officials and the abuse of power, but once they had an official friend, they all felt proud. Was this a spiritual decline or a display of power? Luo Xiaojun couldn't figure it out.

What made him depressed now was that a country bumpkin was defying him.

Just as he was getting angry, he saw Xiao Li leading a few farmers over. What were they wearing? Just look at the guy in front with the shovel, not only did he have a shifty look, but the shiny thing on his sleeve made Luo Xiaojun feel nauseous.

"Xiao Li, hurry up and get them to pull the car out!"

Xiao Li, seeing Luo Xiaojun was anxious, quickly said, "Rest in the car for a moment, it will be done soon."

As the two were talking, a man named Meng, who was standing nearby, shouted at the leading farmer, "Chen Laoer, why aren't you drinking at home? Did your wife kick you out because you didn't feed her last night?"

Chen Laoer, seeing Meng, though mocked, magically pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his old coat and ran over, offering the cigarettes, "Uncle, why are you here? I was just about to go to your house to kowtow!"

Meng took the cigarettes, took a deep puff, and looked up, "Get lost! You've kowtowed enough! This guy is arrogant, don't bother with him!"

Chen Laoer sniffed, a bit reluctant, "Uncle, that person promised to give me two hundred..."

"I'll give you the money! Tell the villagers that this guy is causing trouble in our village, and we won't tolerate it!"

Chen Laoer took out a cigarette and lit it, "Uncle, I wouldn't dare take your money. It's just that I have nothing better to do on a cloudy day."

The men behind Meng laughed and gathered around Chen Laoer, one patting his head, another kicking him, and snatching the cigarette from his hand, teasing him, "Laoer, do you dare not listen to your uncle? Do you want a beating?"

Chen Laoer's attitude changed immediately, turning to Xiao Li, "Brother, I won't do this job!"

Xiao Li, hearing this, panicked, "Hey, you agreed to help us for two hundred yuan. Why are you backing out now?"

Chen Laoer looked at Xiao Li, then took out the two hundred yuan from his greasy pocket and returned it, "Brother, here's your money. You figure it out yourself!"

"You took the money, you have to help us get the car out! How can you be such a dog-faced person? You turn around and deny it?" Luo Xiaojun, seeing Meng smirking nearby, was furious.

Chen Laoer, hearing Luo Xiaojun call him a dog-faced person, felt uncomfortable and suddenly bent over, clutching his stomach, "Oh, my stomach is killing me. The mutton soup I had at noon was too cold, I'm probably going to have diarrhea. Guys, help me!"

The men who came with Chen Laoer immediately understood and helped him up, walking away.

Luo Xiaojun was almost ready to explode. Damn, you can drink hot mutton soup and still get diarrhea? This is clearly a trick to fool me!

Yang Zibo, sitting in the car, saw this and shook his head, smiling. His daughter, Yang Xiaoe, pouted, "Dad, what should we do?"

"Nothing, Xiaojun is young and hot-tempered. If he doesn't learn to control himself, he'll cause trouble!"

Just then, Cheng Jemin also led a few men over. As they approached, one of the men behind Meng shouted, "Zhao Laonian, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Laonian, who was talking to Cheng Jemin, saw the man and shouted back, "I'm here to help with the car."

"I said, go do what you should do..." The man hadn't finished when Cheng Jemin smiled, "Ermeng, what are you doing here?"

Meng, who had been making faces at Luo Xiaojun, finally noticed Cheng Jemin and, ignoring the mud, ran over, "Oh, brother, when did you get here?"

Seeing Sun Ermeng, Cheng Jemin felt very close and punched him, "I came to drink in our village. Just got here, and the car got stuck. I was just worrying about it!"

Sun Ermeng looked at the SUV, scratched his head, and said, "Oh, brother, I'm sorry, I didn't know this was your car!" Then he shouted at Luo Xiaojun, "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. Wait a moment, we'll get the car out!"

Luo Xiaojun wanted to kick him. He never thought this uncultured farmer would know Cheng Jemin. This apology was a blow to his pride. Damn, a small character, but he's showing off. You ride a motorcycle, how can you compete with me in an SUV?

Thinking about how Cheng Jemin seemed to have a natural charm in the car, able to chat freely with Yang Xiaoe, even making the usually stiff Yang Zibo more lively, Luo Xiaojun felt jealous. Yang Xiaoe was not only well-educated and beautiful but also had a father who was a vice governor. Such a girl was too rare!

In Luo Xiaojun's view, any occasion with Yang Zibo was like a semi-real, semi-virtual exam. Every word and action was watched by his future father-in-law. He had to endure it, damn it!

Cheng Jemin chatted with Sun Ermeng for a while, and Zhao Laonian went to the village to get a tractor. As they say, what's difficult for one is easy for another. In no time, the tractor had the steel cable attached to the SUV's hook.

"Chug chug chug..."

A cloud of black smoke formed behind the tractor as it pulled the steel cable taut.

"Screech... screech..."

Xiao Li, coordinating with the tractor, started to move the car. Just as he stepped on the gas, there was a loud snap, and the thick steel cable broke into two.

The black smoke continued to spew, but the SUV's wheels were still buried in the thick mud.

Zhao Laonian jumped off the tractor, looked at the mud, and slapped his thigh, "Oh, this is trouble. The car is stuck in the mud pit!"

"Ermeng, can't you pull it out of the mud pit? Find more tractors, I don't believe we can't pull it out." Sun Ermeng, talking to Cheng Jemin, looked at the deeper stuck wheels and asked loudly.

Zhao Laonian clicked his tongue, "Ermeng, finding more tractors isn't the problem. The road can't fit so many tractors. The best way is to get a big tractor."

"We don't have a big tractor around here!"

"Then we'll dig the mud. After an hour or so, it should be clear." Zhao Laonian, as he spoke, handed Cheng Jemin a cigarette, "Brother, don't worry, why don't you come to my place and rest?"

Cheng Jemin, knowing there was no other solution, said to Yang Zibo and Yang Xiaoe, "Uncle, why don't you and Xiaoe find a place to rest? I'll figure out a solution with them."

Luo Xiaojun, feeling a bit smug, watched Cheng Jemin. That country bumpkin who dared to defy him, how is he going to get the car out?

"Uncle, I think we should call the county and ask them to send a tow truck!" Luo Xiaojun, as he spoke, told Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, get my mobile phone."

Xiao Li agreed and came out of the car with a leather bag.

"Chug chug chug..."

Just then, another tractor came from the opposite direction. On the tractor, over ten strong young men were laughing and talking. Before the tractor stopped, Sun Xiaozhu, sitting on it, shouted to Cheng Jemin, "Brother Jemin, you're here, that's great!"

As he spoke, Sun Xiaozhu nimbly jumped off the tractor and ran over to Cheng Jemin.

The young men behind him also got off and walked over.

Seeing them, Sun Ermeng slapped his head and shouted, "Biaozi, get this job done quickly!"
