Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Chapter 295 If they want to die, let them die!
Kalai Village ~ is located about ten kilometers southeast of the plantation.

The entire village is basically made up of mud and thatched houses, with only a small two-story brick building in the center of the village. It is the power center of the village, the village office and also the home of the village chief.

In villages or tribes like those in Africa, the village chief is the one with the most say, and he can be said to have the final say!
Hou Lixie and a dozen other employees of the plantation attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered the village. After all, as the few people in the village with stable jobs, they were naturally the focus of the village.

The crowd of onlookers were instantly in an uproar, and everyone started talking in low voices.

"Hey~ What's going on? Why are Houlixie and the others back? Shouldn't the plantation be busy now?"

"Who knows, maybe Hou Lixie and the others did something wrong and were fired from the plantation!" An old black man with a bit of jealousy on his face said loudly, as if he was afraid that the people around him didn't hear it.

"No way! Hou Lixie was one of the earliest employees of the plantation. How could he make a mistake and be fired?" A young black man immediately denied his words.

"Hehe~ Maybe they came back to seek refuge, I heard." The old black man who said this looked around and found that no one noticed them, so he whispered: "I guess you have also heard about the wave of civil unrest?"

"I heard that this wave has spread to the prairie. Several nearby villages have united and are preparing to take advantage of this wave to plunder all the Chinese people's industries!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many old black men's eyes sparkled with excitement and their faces were filled with excitement.

"Are you serious? Can we join in?" The jealous old black man asked directly without suppressing his inner thoughts.

"I don't know. I just heard about it. Whether there will be such an action depends on what the village chief says. Besides, the guards of the plantation have guns. How can we fight them with bare hands?"

Hearing this, the jealous man became unhappy!

"Who said that? This is Mozambique, our homeland. Do those Chinese dare to kill us? We are just stealing some of their things. They won't suffer much loss!"

"What's more, their wealth was earned on our land, so it should belong to us, don't you think?" Jealous Old Black said as he looked at the people around him, as if he was looking for like-minded Old Blacks.

He believed that there were many black men who had the same idea as him, but no one stood up. As long as he took the lead, perhaps when several villages decided to rob the plantation, he could even get the title of captain or leader!

Sure enough, as soon as the jealous man finished speaking, some young black men immediately echoed him. After all, their lives were too poor, and these black men were lazy and did not want to earn money through labor, so they thought of taking some crooked ways.

In their minds, the plantation was a big fat sheep. As long as they could take over the plantation, they would not have to worry about food for at least one or two months!

"That's right, this land belongs to us. They planted on our land, so we should have a share of the harvest!"

All of a sudden, more and more people agreed with this statement and wanted to rush into the plantation to take back what they thought belonged to them.

On the other side, Houlixie looked at the dozen or so plantation employees standing in front of him, clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to him, and then said, "Everyone should know their tasks. Whether you can have enough food in the future depends on you!"

After a pause, Houlixie's eyes swept over everyone's faces before continuing, "You also heard what those people said just now. I hope you will remember that you are plantation employees and don't do anything that will harm the interests of the plantation!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen black men from the plantation responded.

"We all know the pros and cons of the matter and will definitely convince your family, so don't worry!"

"That's right, I don't want to go back to the days when I didn't have enough food to eat and had to run around everywhere every day just to get a bite to eat!"

Hearing everyone talking at once, Houlixie nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, let's get started!"

Then everyone dispersed and went towards their own homes.

Hou Lixie stood there and watched the employees leaving. He glanced towards the two-story brick house in the center of the village. He hesitated for a moment and decided to go home first to do some ideological work at home before going to have a good talk with the village chief.

How did he manage to enter the central area of ​​the plantation when it was first established?
He relied on his identity as the village chief's younger brother. If he didn't have any background, he would not have been able to work on the plantation.

Although their village is not big, there are many middle-aged and black people, and they can still find dozens of them.

When Hou Lixie's family saw him come back, no one reacted for a moment. They stopped what they were doing and stared at him in a daze. After all, Hou Lixie only came back twice a month, and the last time was less than a week.

After looking around and finding that everyone was at home, Hou Lixie said, "Put down what you are doing, I have something to tell you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone put down what they were holding and gathered around the gift crab.

As the pillar of the family, Hou Lixie's words are like an imperial decree. Once he says it, everyone must obey him, and no one in the family dares to disobey him.

"You in the village should have heard about the recent civil unrest in the country. It has now spread to our area. When I came back, I heard many people in the village discussing this matter."

"I came back this time to ask you to stay at home and be quiet. You must remember that our family can live so well because of the plantation. If you follow those people to rob the plantation, you will destroy my job!"

"And your jobs. You don't want to go back to the days when you didn't have enough to eat, do you?"

Hou Lixie looked at his two sons. They are both nearly twenty years old now. There is no shortage of food at home. Both of them are very strong and look like adult men in their twenties!
Since I have no connections and naturally no job, I can only stay at home and hang out.

Because of the relationship between their family and the village chief, the two of them are very popular in the village. Many young people follow them and hang out together. The two of them are considered the leaders of the younger generation in the village!

Seeing the look their father gave them, the two men felt nervous. They had previously discussed this matter privately with those idle black men in the village, and at that time they were thinking of rushing into the plantation and robbing all kinds of useful supplies.

But what they never expected was that their father would come back from the plantation specifically to instruct them on this matter!

The two looked at each other, and finally the eldest brother stepped forward and responded: "Dad, the plantation is so big, and there are so many supplies inside. Even if we move everything, it will only cost a little money for the plantation. What's there to worry about!"

"That's right, Dad, think about it. If we can get some agricultural machinery, like rotary diggers, harvesters, etc., we can also grow crops and become landlords. Why would we need to work as slaves for the plantation?"

Seeing his two sons singing the same tune and looking so smug, Hou Lixie was so angry that he began to tremble all over.

He picked up a stick from the side and hit the two of them, causing them to quickly dodge to the side. However, Houli Crab had been engaged in physical labor for a long time, and his muscles were all muscular, so his movements were quite agile.

Both of them were hit with at least a dozen sticks. They rubbed their hands back and forth on their bodies to relieve the pain.

"You even stole some agricultural machinery back. You're too lazy to even cook snakes. Do you think you can farm?"

"And the strength of the plantation, is it as simple as you think? Have you ever thought that they can come to our country and open such a large plantation, and they have taken the surrounding conditions into consideration!"

"Let's not talk about whether there is any force behind the plantation. Just looking at the current plantation, there are dozens of guards alone, all of whom are fully armed with automatic weapons. What can you use to resist?"

"With your big and strong body and shitty brain!" Houlixie shouted at the end!

Hearing that there were dozens of people on the plantation equipped with automatic weapons, the two men who had been so arrogant just now instantly became dispirited and lowered their heads, not daring to look Hou Lixie in the eye.

Looking at his two good-for-nothing sons, Hou Lixie sighed and continued, "Remember what I told you, behave yourself recently. If this matter is over, maybe I can let you work in the plantation!"

Upon hearing this, the two who were originally looking down immediately raised their heads and looked at Houlixie with a hint of excitement, "Dad, are you telling the truth?"

"It's not certain at the moment. We won't know the details until this turmoil is over." Houlixie hesitated for a moment before responding.

Although it was not a definite answer, it was still a little hope. Hou Lixie's family members all started discussing it in a low voice.

"Okay, everyone at home should behave themselves recently. You two follow me to visit the village chief!" Hou Lixie looked at his family members who were talking about something, gave them some instructions again, then took his two sons out the door and walked towards the center of the village.

When Hou Lixie and the other two arrived in front of the two-story building, dozens of people had already gathered there, led by the old black men who had returned from the plantation.

When they saw Houlixie appear, they all greeted him with a smile.

The two sons following behind him also had a flash of surprise in their eyes when they saw this scene. They naturally also knew the identities of those people. After all, the village was so small that they could still recognize who did what.

"Just wait outside!" Hou Lixie said to his two sons, then walked towards the two-story building. He saw his village chief standing quietly at the door.

"Hou Li Brother Mu~" Hou Li Xie still respected his elder brother very much. Without him, he didn't know what the situation would be at home.

Hou Limu nodded slightly and looked at the people standing around him. He found that they were all employees of the plantation and their families. This made him a little confused.

"Let's go in and talk!" Hou Limu said and turned back into the house.

Seeing this, Hou Lixie hurriedly followed in, but when he went in, he looked back and gave everyone a reassuring look. When he went in, he found that Hou Limu was already sitting in front of the table, with two cups and a pot of water on it.

Houlixie sat down directly opposite him, picked up the cup on the table and drank the warm water in it, then picked up the kettle and poured himself a cup, and then asked: "Brother Houlimu, are your villages planning to attack the plantation?"

Hearing this, Hou Limu's expression froze. He did not expect that the Hou Li crabs in the plantation knew about this matter, which meant that the person in charge of the plantation also knew about it.

"How did you know? Logically, none of you have been out recently, so you shouldn't know about this!"

The decision to attack the plantation was made by several village chiefs a few days ago, and not many people in the village knew about it.

They had originally agreed to take action tomorrow to prevent any further complications, but the news brought back by Hou Lixie made him lose his composure for a moment.

"Haha~ We really don't know, but the plantation knows!"

"All of this was told to us by the plantation's guards. To be honest, the plantation is now ready for battle, and all kinds of automatic weapons have been distributed to the guards!"

"As for why they asked us to come back, I think they want us to persuade the village chief to give up this idea!"

Hou Lixie was thinking about this matter on the way back, and he also understood that this mission was extraordinary. If he could really persuade the village to stay, he would definitely receive a reward when he returned.

This was also the reason why he told his two sons to work on the plantation.

When the village chief Hou Limu heard the word weapons, his expression changed. He did not expect the person in charge of the plantation to be so decisive, but he soon realized that something was wrong.

"Hou Lixie, you just mentioned us? Could it be that people from other villages have also returned?"

Houlixie nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. All the employees in the villages near the plantation have gone back!"

He then told Hou Limu everything that had happened in the planting area before. After all, he was his elder brother, and he couldn't let him follow others and get involved in this mess.

If he is not careful, his elder brother will lose his life!
After listening to Hou Lixie's story, Hou Limu's expression changed so quickly, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes looking confused, and even his breathing became heavier.

After a long while, Hou Limu showed a look of panic on his face, and he kept muttering, "What a vicious person! I didn't expect him to come up with such a plan!"

To strike the snake at its most vulnerable part, forcing those black people on the plantation to return to their respective villages is undoubtedly to strike them at their most vulnerable part.

If the villages ignored the feelings of these people and insisted on looting the plantations, regardless of whether they succeeded or not, the old black men and their families on the plantations would definitely hate the village. After all, it was they who destroyed these people's jobs.

There are at least a hundred employees in their village who work on the plantation and their families, accounting for one-fifth of the village's population. If any trouble occurs, the village will be ruined.

But now their plan has reached its final stage. Many people in the village have been eager to get started for a long time, thinking about the rich supplies and various agricultural machinery in the plantation.

How could it be possible to ask them to stop suddenly? Even if his village came forward to ban this matter, someone would join in privately.

There will definitely be a conflict between the two sides at that time. According to the information Hou Lixie told him, the guards of the plantation will even open fire directly. How can these old black men with bare hands fight against the plantation?

As for letting the people inside cooperate with the outsiders, there is no need to even think about it. Hou Lixie has already said that they will be divided into groups after they go back. As long as one person betrays the plantation, the entire group will be punished.

Not to mention internal and external collaboration, if there is any movement, the members of the same group will beat him to death!

"Hou Lixie, what do you say we should do now?" Hou Limu was also panicked at this time. If this matter was not handled properly today, bloodshed would be inevitable.

"Brother Houli Mu, what you need to do now is to suppress the thoughts of the villagers, explain the interests involved, and pull you out of this matter. Even if someone secretly participates in it, it will have nothing to do with us if they die!"

When Houlixie said this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Hou Limu, who was standing by, also saw this scene. He felt a chill inexplicably in his heart. He never expected that his seemingly honest brother could have such a side to him.

"In addition, you have to discuss with the other village chiefs and ask them to suppress the matter as much as possible. Even if they insist on doing so, you must clear yourself of the matter completely!"

"Huh?" Hou Limu was a little confused. He looked at Hou Lixie with a puzzled look on his face, waiting for him to explain.

Seeing his elder brother's expression, Hou Lixie sighed in his heart. How come his elder brother couldn't see the situation clearly at the critical moment?

"Brother, you have to know that this plantation belongs to the Chinese. They are a place where great achievements can be described in one sentence and honor and disgrace can be written in one book. Aren't you afraid that they will settle the score with you later?"

Hou Limu trembled all over, and with his right hand tremblingly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one for himself, and only when he was almost finished smoking did his heart gradually calm down!

He threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, looked up at Houlixie and said, "You're right. It's not too late to make up for the loss!"

Having said that, he stood up and walked outside!

Hou Lixie was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and asked quickly: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Hou Limu paused and said without turning his head, "What else can I do? I have to hold a meeting for the villagers and then go find the other village heads."

Hearing this, Houlixie also hurriedly followed him out.

Soon the village became lively and people gathered around the two-story building in the center of the village.

Hou Limu found a tin horn from somewhere and stood quietly on a stone.

"The village chief called us here, is he talking about the plantation? I'm really eager to try it out now!" When Hou Lixie came back, the jealous man who was standing at the entrance of the village chatting looked at the village chief on the stone with anticipation.

But when the others saw Houlixie standing next to the village chief, they felt something was wrong.

Before they could figure it out, they saw the village chief picked up the tin horn in his hand and said loudly: "I called you here because I have something very important to tell you."

"Recently, there have been rumors in the village that we are going to attack the plantation. I want to clarify that these are all rumors!"

"No one is allowed to organize people privately and do anything harmful to the plantation. If they die outside, it will have nothing to do with the village. Do you understand?"

The old blacks who didn't know the inside story didn't think anything of it and nodded to show that they understood.

But those who knew the inside story looked at each other in bewilderment. Everyone was still dreaming of a good harvest tomorrow, but now the village chief said directly in front of the whole village that these were all rumors.

They couldn't accept this for a while, but they had to accept the village chief's words.

There were only a few scattered people with a hint of disdain flashing between their brows. After looking at each other, they walked towards the back of the crowd tacitly and soon disappeared at the entrance of the village.

Hou Limu naturally saw the whole scene, but he did not say anything to stop it. It was difficult to persuade the damned ghost with kind words. As for what the outcome would be, it had little to do with him.

Everything that needs to be said has been said, and it is up to them to make their own choice.

"Okay, everyone, disperse now. If you can stay in the village for the next few days, please do so to avoid any accidents!"

Everyone left the two-story building in groups of three or five, and Hou Limu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he handed the tin horn in his hand to Houlixie who was standing beside him, and rode on one of the few means of transportation in the village - a motorcycle, and drove out of the village.

"I don't know if big brother can persuade those villages to come down!" Looking at Hou Limu going away, Hou Lixie muttered softly.

He also knew that their Kale Village had the smallest population among the nearby villages, so naturally their voice was much weaker.

"Anyway, my mission is accomplished. Now I am thinking about how to report my results when I get back!"

A gleam of light flashed in Houlixie's eyes. He worked so hard just to gain points in front of the plantation's management!

Success or failure depends on tomorrow!

After coming to his senses, Hou Lixie put away the loudspeaker in his hand and went to find other employees in the planting area. After asking about their respective situations and receiving positive responses, he took his two sons and walked towards home.
