Dark Fairy

Chapter 16 The Zhang Family’s Path

Dazhangzhuang is twenty miles west of Yongchuan City.Zhuangzi who belongs to the companion city.

Zhuangzi is full of farmers, but they are not self-sufficient. Instead, they mainly eat vegetables, poultry and other fast-acting complementary foods.The goal is not to eat it yourself, but to sell it to the Yongchuan City market.

So although it is not in the city, there are many farmers in Dazhangzhuang, on the contrary, there are many big households.There are even five or six out of ten households that will send their children to Meng Xuetang.It's not about taking any official career for the sake of fame and fame.It's just for the sake of being able to read, write and do arithmetic, so as to lay the foundation for taking over the business in Zhuangzi in the future.Otherwise, the bookkeeping won't pay back the shitty business.

It has evolved slowly over a long period of time. For the people in Dazhangzhuang, supplying supplies to Yongchuan City is no longer a matter for each family, but a common event for everyone in the village.Sometimes there may be disagreements or some conflicts internally, but externally, we have always been of one mind.

Since many years ago, the girls in Dazhangzhuang have never been married again.The men in Zhuangzi also preferred the girls in Zhuangzi, and if they didn't have them, they would marry in.Even if a girl from Yongchuan city marries to Dazhangzhuang, she will be in a lucky place.

Being rich, able to read and write, and united with people, this gives the people of Dazhangzhuang a kind of self-confidence from the bottom of their hearts.Older people can still carry their self-confidence.And the young ones are not only self-confident, but even a little arrogant in many cases.It is even more obvious when it comes to the baby.There are many brothers from the same village in Dazhang Village in the school, and they eat well and are stronger than their peers, so they always walk sideways in fights and the like.Encountering a "child from a bad family" is even more sense of justice, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't take action to teach the other party a lesson.

Of course, it is impossible for the children to imagine the consequences and the like.In their eyes, they are "justice", not "bullying".So much so that after being beaten up in turn, I still feel aggrieved and unwilling, and am amazed that the "bad boy" dares to fight back!When I got home, I told my family members about these unwillingnesses, hoping to get their comfort and new strong support.Because the "children of bad people" they know are also told by adults.

But who would have expected that when these children from Dazhangzhuang told their families the news and reasons for being beaten, what they received was not comfort, but scoldings.After the scolding was over, it was time to keep in touch and make contacts in various markets.

This takes time.So when Bailang went to the academy, several families in Dazhang Village were trying to find out about him.The whole day passed like this.At night, Bailang's details were found out clearly.

"What are you afraid of? He's just a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old kid! He's lucky enough to get into the knife shop, so what's the point? No matter what happens this time, he'll have to pay for the soups and medicines for our kids. ! It’s best to force him to take his beating dog home and stop him from going to school!”

"Tsk, this is really good, how about Zhang Bing, you go to support your head and tell that Bailang?"

"I'll hold my head? This is the face of our Dazhangzhuang, so I'll come up with an idea, how can I hold my head? I still need the elders of the clan to come forward. Or let's go find that surnamed Bai together."

There were several elders sitting in the clan hall in Dazhangzhuang, as well as some young and middle-aged people.

After the person who went out to inquire about the news just now came back, there was a reaction that was the opposite of everyone's fear at the beginning.After all, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-grown child is just a street wanderer at the bottom of the knife shop, and there is no reason to be afraid of the huge Dazhangzhuang.On the contrary, if Da Zhangzhuang can handle it well this time, it can earn a fortune.

But there were differences from the very beginning.

"Do you think street kids are not from the knife studio? Or do the knife studios just recruit street kids casually and then ignore them?"

"So what? It's impossible for the knife shop to have a conflict with our Dazhangzhuang because of street wanderers, right? It's not worth it! And we're justified this time!"

Those who advocate tougher measures are younger bankers, including five bankers whose children were beaten.Even if you don't force the other party to apologize and admit defeat, you still have to make the other party take a soft drink and pay for the medicine.My child cannot be beaten in vain.

On the other side there is a different view.

"What makes you think that Da Zhang Zhuang can challenge the sword hall? It's true that the sword hall's territory is limited to the city, but if we take the initiative to provoke people from the sword hall, they don't need to care about the territory. Dazhang Zhuang is just a piece of fat, if it really falls into the hands of the knife shop, everything will be over!"

"That's right, weren't the kids from your family the ones who beat up first a few days ago? Now the other party just beat them back. No one can say that they have suffered a loss. It's better not to look for trouble. Zhuangzili Isn’t it good to run a stable business and make money? What are you pretending to do?”

Those who are a little older don't think it is completely unnecessary to conflict with the people in the knife shop over such a trivial matter.Even when it came to breaking down this matter, it was the baby on his side who made the first move, beating up others first, and then being beaten back.No matter how you look at it, it’s not a disadvantage, is it?
He didn't suffer any loss, but he was clamoring to force a serious street wanderer.What is this not pretending?
"Besides, you are still talking about "reason" here. I'm afraid you will be laughed to death by the people in the sword hall. Will the sword hall reason with people?"

The two sides can't stop arguing.The last few elders, that is, several clan elders interrupted the dispute by raising their hands.

Waved his hands to let everyone who was not the core of the village disperse, leaving a few backbone houses.The clan elders just opened their mouths.

"It took several generations for Dazhangzhuang to reach its current scale. But Zhuangzi is already so big, and now it has basically reached its end." One of the oldest old men wearing a soft hat spoke first with a tired voice.

"If you want to push Da Zhang Zhuang to the top, you must go to the city. Now several stewards of the city lord's mansion have been walking around for many years. They have mentioned it both openly and secretly. After all, the knife shop is not on the table, but Da Zhang Zhuang is open and aboveboard. It’s great not to be in contact with the knife shop. As long as it has a firm foothold, there will be room for new development in Dazhangzhuang in the future.

This time, to put it bluntly, things are a bit more serious.But it's just for exploring.Look at the attitude of the sword shop and the attitude of the city lord's palace. "

"Old man from a wealthy family, is this appropriate? You and I have seen the ferocity of the knife studio many times when we were young. If you don't do it right, you will end up playing with fire and burning yourself!"

"Of course there is danger. But it is controllable. Because in the end it is still the baby's business. If something goes wrong, just come to the door and apologize and settle the matter. Even if the knife studio wants to bully you, there is no excuse, otherwise the city lord's palace will not Let the knife shop be unrestricted.”

"So, you can try this time, but you can't give the other party a handle. Is that what you mean?"

"That's right. Just grab him and get beaten and ask for compensation. Isn't that street wanderer poor? I want more. It depends on how he reacts."
