Journey 1995:Non-Stop

Chapter 63: Generation Changes

Dongshan was not far from here, and Yan Hui and the other two arrived there quickly.

Yan Hui and his grandfather came to this place a few days ago. They picked up the remaining sweet potatoes and tied up the sweet potato vines.

This time, Yan Hui discovered that because of the strong wind last night, the bundled sweet potato vines were blown everywhere. There were originally at least fifty or sixty bundles in the field, but now there are only a dozen bundles at most. Most of the remaining bundles were blown to the neighboring field by the wind.

The land next door was the Xiao family's. It was now covered in black ashes, and it looked like a lot of things had been burned there. Yan Hui walked closer and confirmed that the burning thing was the sweet potato vine.

The land of the Xiao family is not planted with sweet potatoes at all!

In other words, the Xiao family clearly knew that the sweet potato vines from Yan Hui's family were blown into their fields, but instead of returning them, they gathered them together and burned them to use as compost!
This is a bit too much!

"Come on, Third Brother, let's go back." Yan Hui was furious.

"Fifth Brother, what do you want to do?" The third brother looked at Yan Hui and asked, "Do you want to fight?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back," Yan Hui looked at Qing Lan, "Don't tell Grandpa about this when we get back."

"Ah? Brother, where are you going?" Qinglan was a little worried.

"I'm going to the Xiao family to argue. I must get an explanation for this matter." Yan Hui said with a smile, "Don't worry about me."

"But."

"Let your brother handle this matter. I'll accompany him." The third brother interrupted Qinglan.

"Okay, Third Brother, you have to protect my brother."

"Don't worry." The third brother nodded.

After returning to the village, Yan Hui sent his sister back, then took the third child out of the house and walked to the door of the Xiao family.

"Third brother, you go back too. I will handle it myself." Yan Hui said calmly.

"There are three brothers in their family. It would be too easy for you to suffer alone."

"I'm not going there to fight," Yan Hui shook his head, "it would be easier for a fight if you come."

"Okay, I'll wait for you over there." The third brother pointed to a place in the distance.

"Row."

After saying that, Yan Hui pushed the door open and walked into the Xiao family, calling out the name of the eldest son of the Xiao family. However, none of the three sons of the Xiao family were there, only their mother was there.

"What's the matter?" Xiao's mother looked at Yan Hui with a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"Aunt, our sweet potato vines were blown into your field by the wind, and you burned them without telling us. Isn't this inappropriate?" Yan Hui asked.

"What do you mean yours? We didn't go to your land to take it. Don't say nonsense!" Xiao's mother shut Yan Hui up with one sentence.

"There's something. I hope we can have a good chat." Yan Hui's tone was relatively calm.

"You wait for my son to come back, you two can chat, why should I talk to you?" Xiao's mother didn't want to pay attention to Yan Hui, so she turned around and went to cook.

"Okay, I'll wait for them to come back." Yan Hui didn't want to have any conflict with this woman, so he turned and left the yard.

The third brother came over immediately, and Yan Hui told him what had just happened.

"This is such a shame. They don't grow sweet potatoes on that field, so how could they not know that those are your sweet potato vines?" The third brother was very angry when he heard this.

"It's okay. I'll wait for Boss Xiao to come back." Yan Hui patted the third brother's shoulder. "I'm going home first."

"Okay, call me if you need anything." The third child left reluctantly. Yan Hui said goodbye to the third child and went straight home. As a result, he saw his sister chatting with his grandmother. Yan Hui saw it at a glance. His sister did not hide what she said and told her grandmother.

"Sun," Grandma hurried over and took Yan Hui's hand, "The sweet potato vines are worthless. They didn't steal them. Don't start a fight."

"I understand, grandma." Yan Hui nodded and took Qinglan back to the house.

Qinglan seemed to have done something wrong: "Brother, I'm sorry, grandma."

"It's okay. It's okay to tell her. She will know sooner or later." Yan Hui shook his head.

"So, is this matter over?"

"I'll wait until Boss Xiao comes back and I'll ask him to give an explanation."

"Brother, don't fight. There are three people in their family. Otherwise, you can call your cousin and third brother!"

"Don't worry, I'll yell if you need me to."

Yan Hui was chatting in the house. When he looked into the yard, he saw his grandmother tidying up some sweet potato vines in the yard. She looked very uncomfortable.

Grandma must have been blaming him for not collecting the sweet potato vines sooner. Yan Hui felt uncomfortable seeing this, but he couldn't go out and say anything. After Grandma went into the house, Yan Hui left the house alone and started strolling around the village.

After asking a few people, some of them said that they had just seen Boss Xiao go home. Yan Hui immediately returned to the Xiao family and happened to run into Boss Xiao at the door.

"Yan Hui, I just got home. My mother said you came to our house to cause trouble. I was about to go out to look for you, but you actually came here on your own initiative?" Boss Xiao is about twenty-two or twenty-three years old and looks a little taller than Yan Hui.

"Looking for trouble?" Yan Hui frowned. "Your family burned our sweet potato vines. I came to you for an explanation, and you tell me I was looking for trouble?"

"Isn't it? We are burning the sweet potato vines in our own fields."

"Are you planting sweet potatoes on that piece of land?"

"Stop talking nonsense. This is our land, so it belongs to us. If you don't agree, let's fight." Boss Xiao took the initiative to provoke.

At this time, there were already three or five villagers around looking over. If the two of them started fighting, someone would definitely come up to stop them.

"Okay," Yan Hui nodded and said, "In that case, let's make a rule. No one can change it, and no one can say anything extra! One for one, generation for generation, clan for clan. You choose one!"

Yan Hui’s words are shocking!

The villagers watching around immediately realized that this matter could not be reconciled.

Issues in the village were rarely resolved through fighting, but once an agreement was made, outsiders were not allowed to interfere, as doing so would be a violation of the rules. Furthermore, the parties involved in the fight were strictly prohibited from escalating the conflict beyond the established rules.

One for the other, it's Yan Hui and Boss Xiao fighting.

From generation to generation, it was the three members of the Xiao family fighting against Yan Hui alone.

One clan replaces another, that is, the fight between those with the surname Yan and those with the surname Xiao.

It is impossible to exchange one clan for another. Neither of them has the appeal, and there are only a few households of the Xiao family in the village. It is impossible for them to engage in a clan war with the Yan family.

One for one and one for another is actually the difference between Yan Hui fighting one against one and one against three. Even a fool knows what to choose.

"One generation after another!" Boss Xiao said immediately.

Everyone around secretly cursed the eldest brother of the Xiao family as a coward. He had the advantage of age, but he didn't dare to accept a one-on-one challenge.

"Come on, where are the second and third children in your family?" Yan Hui took a step forward with his right leg, pressed his body down, placed his left hand lightly behind his back, and stretched out his right hand with the palm facing up, extending it to the height of his knees, ready to fight.
