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

Chapter 296 The storm is coming!

After Hou Limu left Kalai Village on his motorcycle, he headed straight for Balai Village a few kilometers away.

Balai Village is the largest village among the nearby villages. Whenever there are important matters that need to be negotiated, the surrounding villages will gather here to discuss the matter.

When Hou Limu rushed to Balai Village, he found that the villagers were squatting on the ground in groups of three or five chatting. He did not pay much attention to them and walked straight to the village chief's house.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the village chief's house in Balai Village, a thick smoke floated out of the house. Even Hou Limu, who had been smoking for decades, was choked and coughed.

He fanned the room vigorously with his hands, and when the smoke was almost dispersed, he realized that there were several people sitting in the room. He looked around and his heart skipped a beat, realizing that the village chiefs of several surrounding villages were all sitting in the room smoking.

Everyone had a sad look on their face.

Seeing Hou Limu coming, the village chief of Bale, Kaslan, who was sitting in the first seat, waved to him and said, "Come in, we're waiting for you. Remember to close the door!"

Hou Limu nodded, closed the door, and sat on the last stool. Just as he was about to ask about the situation in each village, he saw Kaslan, who was sitting in the first seat, patted the table, attracting everyone's attention.

"The heads of several villages are all here. I believe you all know what happened in your respective villages. Now tell me your plans. Do you want to quit or continue?"

After these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to stand up and make their attitude clear. Everyone was waiting to see what others would choose.

Hou Limu also saw everyone's thoughts, and after a moment's hesitation, he took the initiative to respond, "Let me speak first!"

Hearing this, several village chiefs turned their eyes to Hou Limu, all with a hint of expectation in their eyes. As for what they were expecting, no one knew!
"You know that there are only a few hundred people in Kalai Village. The employees working in the plantation and their families alone add up to more than a hundred people, accounting for one-fifth of the entire village, not including their relatives."

"What's more, none of us know the strength and background of the plantation. If we blindly attack the plantation, it will be like an egg hitting a stone!"

"Just think about it, to be able to open up such a large plantation in this prairie, how big is the power behind it? Are we fighting against it?"

"Whether it's for the plantation workers or the villagers."

"On behalf of Kalai Village, I have decided to withdraw from this alliance. I would also like to state that whether anyone in the village wants to join has nothing to do with the village!"

Having said that, Hou Limu glanced at all the village heads, but unexpectedly found that two or three of them did not look very happy.

Hou Limu immediately guessed what these village chiefs were planning, which was nothing more than wanting to take over the plantation.

However, Hou Limu didn't care much about it. After all, these people's thoughts had nothing to do with him and Kalai Village!
There were several villages that had the same idea as Hou Limu. Seeing Hou Limu taking the lead, the village chiefs also stood up and expressed their attitudes.

The reasons are similar to Hou Limu's, except that their villages are relatively larger, and there are many more employees in the plantations. Relatively speaking, the family members of those on the plantations account for one-third or even half of the population in the village.

If they dare to get involved, I'm afraid those plantation families who are living a good life will overturn his village!
Of course, there are some people with ulterior motives in the village, and there is no way to avoid this. There are many people who do not have enough food to eat, and they have also expressed their attitudes in a serious manner. Those old blacks who want to participate in the looting have nothing to do with their village.

As to whether it would be useful or not, no one knew, but the right attitude had to be made clear. If the plantation survived this crisis, who knew if they would come to settle accounts with villages like theirs.

"Humph~ That's all you can do. How many people are there in the plantation? Excluding the blacks in the plantation area, there are less than a hundred of them. Facing our villages, what kind of waves can they cause?"

"Hou Limu, you are really going backwards as you grow older. If you don't have the courage, you should let someone else take the position of village chief!"

"And the rest of you too, didn't you say before that you would consider it? Why aren't you participating now? To put it bluntly, you're all scared!"

"I, Lumumba, really don't believe this. As long as we take over the plantation, the food, fruits and various crops there will be enough for our village to eat for a long time. There are also those agricultural machinery. You guys should not be greedy when the time comes!"

A middle-aged man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a sturdy build and a face full of fat, looked at Hou Limu and others with disdain and said.

The other two village chiefs who had shown strange expressions on their faces also echoed,
For a moment, the whole room was in chaos. Kaslan, who was sitting in the first seat, had a gloomy face.

"Bang~"

Kaslan slapped the table hard, making a loud bang.

The crowd that was originally noisy immediately stopped, even Lumumba who was in high spirits before was no exception, and they all looked at Kaslan who was sitting in the first seat.

The reason why they were so afraid of Kaslan was not only because Bale Village had the largest population among all the villages, but also because they had a team of hunters. Although there were only a dozen people, they were all equipped with firearms.

In addition, although Kaslan looks kind, he is actually very fierce. He has killed many black men in village conflicts in the past and has gained a great reputation. It is precisely because of these reasons that his status is slightly higher than that of other village chiefs.

"What are you arguing about? I asked you to sit down to discuss things. Everyone has their own choice. Now that you have made your choice, what is there to argue about?"

Hearing this, Lumumba's eyes moved slightly. He knew that if he continued talking, those fence-sitters would not change their minds. Apart from those who had already expressed their opinions, the only one left was Kaslan.

Then he asked, "Village Chief Kaslan, I don't know what you are going to do. There are only a few dozen people working in the plantation in your village. Even if their families are added together, there are only three or four hundred people, which is only a fraction of the total number of people in Bale Village."

"Compared to those who don't have enough food, the difference is not even a little bit. Now the crops in the plantation are about to mature. If we can seize the plantation, the villagers shouldn't have to worry about having enough food this year!"

After saying this, a smug smile flashed across Lumumba's face. This was a complete conspiracy. As long as Kaslan disagreed, he would find someone to incite the residents of Bale Village. He believed that in the face of countless food, those residents would follow them.

As expected, Kaslan's face became increasingly gloomy, and he glanced at Lumumba with a slightly unfriendly look.

He naturally saw through Lumumba's plan.

In fact, Kaslan was also hesitant in his heart. He naturally knew that the plantation was a big cake, but what he didn't expect was that the plantation would realize something was wrong so quickly and even take countermeasures.

Asking the black men from the plantation to return to the village made the matter more complicated, and he also specifically asked the returning employees what the plantation's reaction was.

When he understood the situation, he realized, just like Hou Limu before, that this matter was of some serious nature.

This wave swept across Mozambique, but most of it was concentrated in the cities. There were not many people in the supermarkets, restaurants and even factories opened by the Chinese, and they did not have many weapons.

But the situation was different at the Harvest Plantation. Apart from the local black men, there were nearly a hundred other people at the plantation, all of them equipped with weapons, and the person in charge had even given the order to fire freely.

If this attacks the plantation, it will probably cause huge bloodshed.

Then it won’t be such an easy ending.

If it was just a simple robbery, with so many people involved, how many people could the local officials punish? These old blacks understand the principle that the law does not punish the masses.

Now Kaslan wants to gamble whether the plantation guards will open fire!
"Hmm?" A figure flashed through Kaslan's mind, and he immediately had a plan in his mind.

With a sullen face, he looked at Lumumba and said, "Whatever decision I make has nothing to do with you. As the head of Bale Village, my first consideration is to keep them alive. If they die, no matter how much food we have, it will be useless."

After saying this, he glanced at the faces of the village heads, then changed the subject and looked at one of Lumumba's allies and asked, "Has the insider we contacted yesterday returned to the village?" The man who was asked was instantly confused, hesitating for a long time before shaking his head.

"Humph~ That person probably won't be able to come back. He must be the one who leaked our plan. That's why the plantation was able to prepare so quickly!"

"I'm sure you've all learned about the attitude of the plantation from the plantation employees in your respective villages. The automatic weapons in the hands of the guards are not for show!"

"You have seen how cruel the plantation is. I don't want the villagers to die like this."

"So we, the Bale Village, will also withdraw from this plan. If you have any other ideas, that's up to you. Anyway, we will no longer participate."

After saying this, Kaslan lowered his eyes expressionlessly, not caring about the expressions of the other village chiefs.

Lumumba, who had been looking smug, suddenly lost his expression.

“Okay, okay, since you all don’t want to participate, there is no need for us to stay here any longer!” Lumumba stood up and left with the other two village chiefs.

"Village Chief Kaslan, we..." One of the remaining village chiefs was about to ask what they should do next when he was interrupted by Kaslan raising his hand.

"Your own village affairs should be handled by yourself. Don't ask me. I don't know even if you ask me. Everyone should go back early to avoid any accidents in the village!"

Hearing Kaslan's order to expel them, the remaining village chiefs looked at each other, stood up and left.

After everyone left, Kaslan sighed, "Ah~ It was Hou Limu who reminded me that to be able to develop such a large plantation on this land, how could he be a simple person?"

"Do you really think the plantation is like the supermarkets and restaurants in the city? You think you can rush in just because there are so many people. Lumumba, I wonder if I can see you again after this incident!"

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Kaslan's lips, and his mind began to fantasize whether he could annex those villages after this incident.

But he soon came to his senses and realized that he had not forgotten that he still had very important things to do!
He then stood up and walked out of the house, and rang the iron bell hanging on the wall, which made a "dangdangdangdang" sound, which was specifically used to summon the villagers.

After a while, people came over here one after another, and Kaslan stood on the platform and waited quietly.

"Brother, you're back. How are you?"

As soon as Hou Limu stopped his motorcycle in front of his house, Hou Lixie came out of the house.

Seeing the anxious look on his brother's face, he smiled and said, "The situation is not bad. Three villages still have ideas about the plantation, but the largest village, Bale, has not participated in it. This is also good news!"

Hearing this, Hou Lixie's eyes lit up, and he took his eldest brother's hand and asked about the details of the matter.

Hou Limu did not hide anything and told Hou Lixie the whole story.

The more Hou Lixie listened, the more he smiled. When Hou Limu finished speaking, he said excitedly, "Brother, you did a great job this time. Whether the village can live a good life depends on whether the person in charge of the plantation has the courage!"

"Huh? What courage?" Hou Limu looked confused when he heard this.

"I can't talk about this for now. It's just my own guess. But I have to return to the plantation as soon as possible to report these things. Big brother, can you give me a ride?"

Houlixie's eyes naturally fell on the motorcycle beside him.

“Uh” Hou Limu glared at him unhappily, but still took out the key and walked towards the motorcycle.

It’s so fast to ride a motorcycle back to the plantation. The journey that originally took half an hour was reduced to just a few minutes!

After delivering the Houli crabs to the gate of the plantation, Houlimu did not stop at all, turned around and drove his motorcycle back to the village.

After seeing his elder brother's back disappear from his sight, Hou Lixie walked towards the gate and went straight towards the guard team.

"I want to find the person in charge of the plantation. I have important news to report!" Walking in front of the guards, Hou Lixie went straight to the point.

When the guards heard this, they looked at the gift crab in surprise and were stunned for two or three seconds before they came to their senses.

After checking whether Houli Crab was carrying any weapons, he confirmed that it was safe before saying, "Come with me!"

Then the two of them walked towards the direction of the escort team.

That’s right, it’s the direction of the escort team.

For safety reasons, Chen Fan has moved out of the manager's office to avoid any accidents.

After some reporting, the generous crab was finally brought to Chen Fan by the guards.

"You said you had something important to report. Tell me, what is it?" When Chen Fan saw the middle-aged black man in front of him, a faint smile appeared on his face. He knew that his plan was successful!

Hou Lixie suddenly felt a sense of panic and quickly bent down to tell his eldest brother everything that had happened after he returned, as well as his eldest brother's subsequent visit to the meeting in Balai Village.

When they heard that several villages had withdrawn from the operation, not only Chen Fan, but also several other guard captains in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Fan stood up, walked to Hou Lixie and patted his shoulder, which frightened Hou Lixie so much that he shuddered.

Seeing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha~ Don't be nervous, you have made a great contribution this time, and I will definitely reward you well after this storm is over. By the way, what's your name?"

"Hou Lixie, my name is Hou Lixie, and I'm from Kale Village!" Hou Lixie responded excitedly.

"Hou Li Crab?" Upon hearing this name, Chen Fan and some Chinese people showed strange looks on their faces.

Chen Fan patted his shoulder again and said, "Okay, Houlixie, go back to the plantation first and pay more attention to the other employees. If there is any disturbance, report it to the patrol team immediately!"

"Yes~Boss!" Houlixie began to tremble all over. He knew that he had caught the boss's attention.

After Houlixie left, Chen Fan's expression became serious. He glanced at the captains and said, "You all heard what I said just now. Those rioters will attack our plantation tonight or tomorrow at the latest."

"I hope everyone will be very motivated. As long as we survive this storm, everyone will get rewards. Do you have confidence?"

"Rustle~" The sound of a chair rubbing against the floor was heard.

The next moment, a deafening voice rang out in the room, "Have confidence and ensure that the task is completed!"
