"The soil in Lijia Village isn't suitable for growing medicinal herbs or cherries, so we can only raise them!"
Li Li wanted to continue complaining, but Er Zhu's words left him speechless.
He looked at Er Zhu, helpless and angry, gritting his teeth.
"I've already told you the way to get rich. Whether you want to live a good life depends on yourself."
Er Zhu left without even looking at Li Li, uttering only those words before striding away.
If it weren't for Li Mei's sake, he wouldn't have even told him the method for getting rich!
And now that he had told him, he was still picking and choosing.
Er Zhu pursed his lips, shaking his head helplessly.
Watching Er Zhu's retreating back, Li Li felt his teeth were about to shatter, but the thought of those bills made him suppress his anger.
And so, every time Li Li raised bees, he would be stung all over. Even though the pain almost made him faint, he had to endure and continue.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and it was the season to harvest ginseng. Since the medicinal herb factory had not yet been built, Lin Quan was still the one to purchase it.
The entrance of Shiliu Village was already crowded. Er Zhu stood to the side, watching the endless human queue.
It was already an hour late, and Lin Quan still hadn't arrived.
Er Zhu glanced at his wristwatch and then looked towards the road leading to the village entrance.
"Hey, you fools, what are you doing?"
Just as Er Zhu was looking forward to Lin Quan's arrival, a rough male voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Sun Xiaopang, are you looking for a beating? If you have nothing to do, get back to your own village!"
Before Er Zhu could speak, Uncle Liu, standing nearby, scowled and shoved Sun Xiaopang, scolding him.
Sun Xiaopang was a villager from the neighboring Taohua Village. This guy was also a notorious hooligan in the area, no less despicable than Fat Head!
"Old man, you dare to push me, damn it!"
Sun Xiaopang was stunned. He cursed and charged forward with his fist raised.
Seeing the fist coming at him, Uncle Liu's face turned pale, and he stumbled backward. He wanted to fight back, but how could a sixty-year-old man like him contend with this young man as strong as an ox!
"Sun Xiaopang, that's enough!"
Just as Sun Xiaopang's fist was about to hit Uncle Liu, Er Zhu intervened, grabbing Sun Xiaopang's wrist.
Sun Xiaopang glared at Er Zhu furiously, struggling, but Er Zhu's grip was like a vise; he couldn't break free!
"You idiot, let go of me immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Sun Xiaopang's face turned red. He struggled with all his might, roaring threats.
*Crack!*
Just as Sun Xiaopang was about to continue threatening, a sharp pain made his face turn deathly pale!
"I'll cripple you!"
Sun Xiaopang roared loudly. He quickly stretched out a leg, intending to kick, but Er Zhu was even faster!
*Bang!*
Sun Xiaopang was sent flying backward. He landed heavily on the ground, staring at Er Zhu in shock.
Was this still the idiot from Shiliu Village?
They hadn't seen each other for only a short while, how had he become so powerful!
"Sun Xiaopang, get lost. You're not welcome in our village!"
Just as Sun Xiaopang was about to get up and counterattack, he suddenly heard the villagers' voices.
"All of you, shut up! Anyone who dares to say another word today, I'll cripple them!"
Sun Xiaopang roared at everyone while frantically dialing his phone. His eyes were fixed on Er Zhu!
If he didn't make this idiot kneel and beg for mercy today, he wouldn't be surnamed Sun!
Seeing Sun Xiaopang calling for backup, some villagers started to panic. The people Sun Xiaopang knew were among the top hooligans in town!
No matter how capable Er Zhu was, he couldn't possibly defeat them!
"Er Zhu, you should escape quickly. We'll cover your retreat, he won't dare do anything!"
"That's right, his lackeys are very formidable; they've even killed people before!"
"Er Zhu, come with me quickly!"
...
Finally, not only the villagers but also Uncle Liu beside him spoke up.
If it were just Sun Xiaopang and his few companions, the villagers wouldn't be so worried. However, there was something they didn't mention.
The reason Sun Xiaopang was so arrogant and overbearing wasn't just his fighting skills, but also his rich cousin from the next town!
It was rumored that his cousin was worth tens of millions; he was the richest man in the neighboring town!
Thinking of this, the villagers furrowed their brows, looking at Er Zhu with concern.
"It's fine. Call everyone you can find. I'll be waiting!"
To their surprise, Er Zhu didn't leave. Instead, he calmly sat down. Seeing this, Uncle Liu and the villagers were extremely worried, but Er Zhu's resolute demeanor left them with nothing more to say.
After all, they didn't dare to offend Er Zhu now.
"Idiot, you're quite arrogant, aren't you? Fine, if you have guts, don't leave. Whoever leaves is a grandson!"
Seeing Er Zhu's extreme arrogance, Sun Xiaopang's face darkened further. He pointed at Er Zhu in anger, his whole body trembling!
But Er Zhu didn't even glance at him, as if the person didn't exist at all.
Time ticked by, and the villagers had never felt time pass so slowly!
"Brother, we're here!"
Just as the villagers were worrying about Er Zhu, loud voices came from a distance.
"My god, how are they all so strong!"
The villagers looked up and were stunned by what they saw. They saw burly men walking towards them, their physiques so imposing that they could take down a crowd without even trying!
All the villagers' hearts sank. Their brows furrowed even tighter.
Er Zhu was probably in grave danger this time!
Even if Boss Lin came, he wouldn't be able to defeat Sun Xiaopang and his men!
Uncle Liu's face grew even more grim, his eyes filled with terror!
If he had known that Sun Xiaopang's lackeys were so strong, he would have rather taken a punch himself than let Er Zhu intervene!
Er Zhu was the hope of their entire village; something must not happen to him!
"Let's go together! Today, we'll either beat him to death or skin him!"
"How dare he hit me, Sun Xiaopang, the gutsy fellow!"
Sun Xiaopang waved his hand at his subordinates and rolled up his sleeves, heading straight for Er Zhu. Seeing the approaching crowd, all the villagers of Shiliu Village were terrified!
It was over; Er Zhu would either die or be crippled this time!
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, and war was imminent!
Only Er Zhu, with a disdainful glance at Sun Xiaopang and his group, didn't look at them again.
He admitted that Sun Xiaopang and his men were big and strong, perhaps with great strength, but strength didn't equate to skill!
The "Heavenly Elephant Fist" bestowed upon him by the Dragon King had just reached the first level yesterday. It was a perfect opportunity to test it on them!
"All of you, use your full strength. I'll take responsibility if anyone gets killed!"
Seeing that Er Zhu was not only unafraid but also looked at Sun Xiaopang and the others with contempt, Sun Xiaopang's fury intensified. He roared loudly.
The villagers of Shiliu Village held their breath, their eyes filled with shock and worry!
"Hoo!"
With a few shouts, Sun Xiaopang and his men stamped their feet and rushed towards Er Zhu!
