And Widow Wei stood in the courtyard, watching the approaching excavator step by step, and cried uncontrollably with the huge funnel.
Her body trembled with fear, but she still held her child in the courtyard, trying to stop the forced demolition by the excavator.
The excavator approached step by step, intending to scare Widow Wei.
But seeing Widow Wei showing no sign of backing down, the excavator had to stop.
Forced demolition is one thing, but they couldn't risk taking a life.
"Widow Wei, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. We have already notified you. Why are you still obstructing our construction! Are you asking for death?" As the excavator stopped, Wu Dahunzi suddenly jumped out of the excavator and pointed at Widow Wei, shouting loudly.
It was obvious that Wu Dahunzi had sided with the Gu Family, doing their bidding.
Otherwise, under the Gu Family's scheme, he had signed a contract back then.
Logically, he should be at odds with the Gu Family too.
"Wuwuwu... Do you have any conscience? You've taken our fields, collected the money, and now you want to demolish our house. Are you trying to kill my family? Where will we live?" Widow Wei, holding the frail Xuanxuan, cried bitterly, her eyes red and swollen.
The orphaned widow faced a massive excavator and the fierce Wu Dahunzi and others. It couldn't be more pitiful.
However, the surrounding villagers watching showed no sympathy.
Because they all clearly remembered Widow Wei's behavior back then.
If she hadn't ignored advice back then, who else could she blame?
The villagers felt no pity, let alone Wu Dahunzi.
Seeing Widow Wei still daring to speak like that, he became even more furious.
He jumped off the excavator and ran angrily to Widow Wei, roaring, "Widow Wei, don't be shameless. I'm negotiating with you nicely now, so you'd better move out voluntarily. Otherwise, when I start, you won't have anything to move, and you'll suffer."
Wu Dahunzi was indeed a born bully.
Although he had been in prison for a few years, the bully aura in him was deeply ingrained.
He looked fiercely intimidating, not only to Widow Wei; even some villagers watching the scene were somewhat fearful.
"Wuwuwu... I really can't move, you are really killing me. If I have nowhere to live, aren't you forcing me to die?" Widow Wei cried, hoping Wu Dahunzi might let her go.
But would Wu Dahunzi agree?
"Don't tell me these things. Didn't we give you a settlement fee of fifty thousand yuan? Now you must move for me, or the excavator will flatten your house directly!" Wu Dahunzi said harshly, showing no mercy.
Widow Wei looked ashen, seeing that Wu Dahunzi was giving no room for negotiation. She didn't continue to speak.
She just held her child in a daze, standing in the courtyard, refusing to move.
"Damn! I really gave you a chance!"
Wu Dahunzi was completely enraged! After shouting, he raised his hand and slapped her hard.
Smack...
The slap knocked Widow Wei to the ground.
Xuanxuan was also terrified by this scene and sat on the ground crying loudly.
The elderly at home wailed even more.
"You are bullying us because there's no man at home. You are really killing us; this is our only house. If it's demolished, where will we live..." The elderly also cried bitterly, wailing in the courtyard pitifully.
The crowd watching front felt that Widow Wei deserved it.
But seeing this scene, they couldn't help feeling a bit unsettled.
After all, she was from the same village, an orphaned widow being bullied like this. Those with a bit of conscience found it hard to watch.
Several wanted to step forward and speak up but stopped thinking about Widow Wei's previous behavior.
Chen Yang was also in the crowd, conflicted seeing Widow Wei like this.
In the end, he didn't plan to help her.
After all, she signed the contract herself; now that the house was to be demolished, there wasn't much to say.
All he could do was to see if Wu Kexin could help find them a place to stay after the house was demolished.
They were in the same village; although Widow Wei was unpleasant, it wouldn't do to leave her family homeless, would it?
With this in mind, Chen Yang chose to watch from the sidelines rather than speak up.
However, just as Widow Wei was being beaten by Wu Dahunzi and about to be dragged away for the forced demolition, Wu Kexin suddenly arrived at the scene.
"Stop! Wu Dahunzi, you've gone too far!"
Wu Kexin hurriedly arrived, immediately seeing Wu Dahunzi beating Widow Wei and trying to forcibly drag her away!
Wu Dahunzi heard the voice and paused, turning to look towards Wu Kexin.
"Yo! Isn't this Village Chief Wu?" Seeing it was Wu Kexin, the ferocity on Wu Dahunzi's face disappeared immediately, replaced with a playful, disdainful look.
He didn't seem to take Wu Kexin seriously at all.
Wu Kexin was full of anger and strode up to Wu Dahunzi, saying, "Wu Dahunzi, are you still human? Bullying an orphaned widow like this, aren't you afraid of thunder and lightning striking you?"
Wu Kexin was very angry!
She was the village chief of Lihe Village, and seeing her villagers being bullied made her somewhat furious.
But Wu Dahunzi didn't care if Wu Kexin was angry or not.
After hearing Wu Kexin, he gave a playful smile, then turned around to the excavator to get two documents, handed them to Wu Kexin and said.
"Village Chief Wu, take a good look. The contract clearly states that this house is already our development land. If they refuse to leave, how is that me bullying them?"
"Village Chief Wu, our group is actually investing in your village too. You have an obligation to help us with the demolition, remove obstacles and not stand with your villagers blocking our construction."
Wu Dahunzi was full of mischief, looking as if he was in the right and couldn't care less.
Wu Kexin's face was grim. Upon hearing this, she didn't say anything but accepted the file to examine it carefully.
"Even if there is a contract! You can negotiate demolition, but hitting people? Is that demolition?" Wu Kexin finished reading the document and once again rebuked.
But she changed focus to Wu Dahunzi hitting the people.
Wu Dahunzi still kept a playful look, seemingly prepared for Wu Kexin's argument.
"Haha, it's wrong to hit people, but she won't move. I had no choice but to use this trick. At worst, I'll compensate her with some medical expenses afterwards." Wu Dahunzi said casually.
"You..."
Wu Kexin was indeed angered by this remark and wanted to argue with Wu Dahunzi.
But since Wu Dahunzi had the contract and was in the right.
About hitting, he also said reimbursement, leaving no point for argument.
So despite the anger, there was nothing she could do about Wu Dahunzi.
Chen Yang in the crowd saw Wu Kexin was unable to handle Wu Dahunzi and couldn't remain indifferent.
He stepped out from the crowd to advise Wu Kexin.
"Forget it, Kexin. There's nothing to argue about in this matter. She was the one who was greedy and signed the contract with the Gu Family. The current result is her own doing." Chen Yang advised.
