Reborn in 1981: My Life as a Fisherman

Secretary Chen's furious outburst silenced everyone.

These days, the village secretary has immense prestige; no one dares to contradict him.

Secretary Chen also decided that the matter should be resolved by waiting for someone from the commune to arrive.

It seems this time it really will be handled strictly as a business.

Lin Shaowen's parents and Yang Guangwu's family dared not say anything more.

They themselves knew what kind of person their son was.

This time, however, they really suffered a great loss, as they were actually outmaneuvered by that taciturn second son of the Shi family.

They were beaten so badly, Shi Lao Er really went all out!

"Secretary, look at these medical expenses..."

Yang Guangwu's mother muttered to herself, "My family has no money."

Secretary Chen glanced at Lin Shaowen and Yang Guangwu with a cold face.

Then he looked up at Shi Hailong.

Upon seeing this, Shi's mother quickly said with apology and caution, "We'll cover the medical expenses. Let's get him to the hospital right away."

Don't delay...

Secretary Chen continued to look at Shi Hailong. Hearing his mother's words, Shi Hailong helplessly said to Secretary Chen:

"Secretary Chen, thank you for your trouble. I need you to arrange for someone to go with the boat and take the person to the commune clinic."

"No matter how much the medical expenses are, they'll all be on me."

Upon hearing Shi Hailong's words, Secretary Chen's expression softened, and he nodded.

He wanted to see what Shi Hailong's attitude was.

Then they started arranging the brigade headquarters' motorboat, and even had the brigade accountant go along.

The brigade headquarters will cover the medical expenses first, and the final settlement will be made later.

The nature of today's fight will be determined by the final decision of the commune's coastal defense office.

Lin Shaowen and Yang Guangwu were carried to the dock by their respective families to board the ship.

Secretary Chen then instructed the militia captain, Yang Jianjun, to call the two who had run away to the brigade headquarters to wait.

Secretary Chen didn't let any of the people involved in the fight go; they were all sent to the brigade headquarters to wait.

That's good. Zhao Hu, Yang Guangming, Zheng Shangang, and Chen Shengqiang.

Everyone had to go to the brigade headquarters and wait for someone from the commune to handle it.

The people on the fishing boat that had just docked saw the two people being carried onto the boat, as well as Shi Hailong and several others with bloodstains all over their faces.

They all understood that another fight had broken out.

It looks like the beating was quite severe this time.

Before going to the brigade headquarters, Shi Hailong comforted his mother and older sister, telling them not to worry.

Just then, Shi's father and elder brother hurriedly disembarked and came over.

"What's going on?" Mr. Shi asked coldly.

Shi Hailong said, "Lin Shaowen and his gang heard that I made money and they want to cause me trouble and extort money from me."

Chen Dabiao tried to stop them, and they beat him up…

He gave a brief explanation, but Shi Hailong didn't know if it was accurate.

But I have to say it this way.

Having learned what had happened and seeing that Shi Hailong was alright, Shi's father and Shi Haifeng were relieved.

It's better to injure someone than to be injured yourself; spending a little on medical expenses is nothing.

However, Shi's mother still pulled Shi's father to Chen, the Party Secretary, and pleaded with him for mercy.

Secretary Chen smiled at the Shi couple and said, "You two go home and wait. I know what I'm doing."

Hailong... he's a very good young man...

With Secretary Chen's words, Mr. and Mrs. Shi were somewhat relieved.

Shi Mu was most afraid that Shi Hailong would be arrested because of this, which would cripple both of them.

The three contracting teams returned, and there was a lot to do, so most people went off to work.

When Shi Hailong and his group arrived at the brigade headquarters, they were not allowed to enter the house. Instead, they were told to do so by Secretary Chen.

They stood in a row against the wall.

Then Secretary Chen went into the office, and a short while later, the barefoot doctor from the medical station came over with his medicine box.

The barefoot doctor's surname was Chen, and his nickname was Sanmao.

Because of his habitual illness, each visit to the doctor costs three cents.

Of course, the three cents included the cost of the medicine.

If he couldn't treat a patient's illness, he would send them directly to the commune clinic.

Just as Chen Sanmao was cleaning the wounds of the injured person, Shi's mother also arrived with a towel that had been scalded with hot water.

It was for wiping Shi Hailong's face. Although he usually disliked it, he felt extremely sorry for him at this moment.

Seeing her son's face covered in dried blood, Shi's mother felt heartbroken.

While wiping, he kept cursing that she was disobedient and troublesome.

Finally, Shi's mother said a few words to Yang Guangming, who was standing next to her, since Yang Guangming had been implicated by Shi Hailong.

Chen Dabiao, whose face was also covered in blood and dried skin, was filled with envy, as his parents had not yet shown their faces.

They can't be compared!

Chen Dabiao had the air of a wild child, and his heart was filled with sorrow.

However, after this fight, he feels completely relaxed, and it feels great.

He was almost going crazy a few days ago.

Shi Hailong is right; only by fighting back can they break free.

Moreover, Lin Shaowen and Yang Guangwu were nothing special; they were still defeated by him and Shi Hailong.

Beaten like a dead dog...

Shi's mother wiped her son's face clean, and Chen Sanmao happened to arrive at Shi Hailong's place.

I started cleaning and disinfecting the wound and bruises.

"Mom, go back and eat. Just leave some in the pot for me. Oh, and those two lobsters are for Haihua and Haiyu."

You all ate the swimming crabs, but Haisheng and I cooked a pot of them on the island and got tired of them…”

Upon hearing this, Shi's mother glared at her son again, "You think you're so generous? Those two lobsters cost only a few dollars."

I think you're just burning through your money as soon as you've made a little bit..."

Spinach is a rare delicacy, and there aren't many of it.

Stone Mother took the towel and walked away, seemingly in a huff.

However, Shi Hailong could tell that his mother was truly relieved at this moment.

I was always tense before.

Shi Hailong sighed inwardly; he didn't want his mother to live in fear.

But life is never smooth sailing, nor is it always a straight road.

In their past life, the three brothers were honest and upright, and their mother worried about them her whole life.

He suffered a lifetime of mistreatment as a result.

Therefore, being honest and dutiful will also lead to being mistreated, and even more so to feeling humiliated.

He didn't want to be ruthless, and he wasn't a ruthless person.

But there was no other way; it had to be this way.

After Chen Sanmao finished dealing with the situation, Shi Hailong took out a cigarette and lit it for Chen Sanmao.

Chen Sanmao smiled at Shi Hailong, "You've finally figured it out, not bad."

Chen Sanmao, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and a medicine box slung over his shoulder, entered Secretary Chen's office.

At this moment, Shi Hailong also offered cigarettes to Yang Guangming, Chen Dabiao, Zheng Shangang, and Chen Shengqiang.

Knowing that Zhao Hu didn't smoke, Shi Hailong still asked him if he wanted one.

Zhao Hu was somewhat tempted and was about to say that he would like to try one, but unexpectedly, Shi Hailong had already put the cigarette pack away.

This caused Zhao Hu's outstretched hand to freeze.

Upon seeing this, Shi Hailong quickly took out his cigarette again, while Zhao Hu had already withdrawn his hand.

"I don't smoke, I don't smoke..."

"Really not smoking?"

"I really don't smoke..."

"What are you being so coy about, you grown man? Come on, light it..."

In the end, Shi Hailong ignored Zhao Hu's statement that he didn't want to smoke and gave him one directly.

I even lit it for him.

Shi Hailong was also afraid that Zhao Hu would continue to be embarrassed.

In this situation, only by letting Zhao Hu take the shot can the awkwardness from before be resolved.

Militia captain Yang Jianjun also came over with the two who had run away.

Upon seeing Shi Hailong and his group, the two young men immediately lowered their heads, their former arrogance vanishing.

He stood obediently at the front, but was quite far from Shi Hailong and the others.

Yang Jianjun went into the office, and soon Chen Sanmao came out to treat and disinfect the wounds of the two young men.

Don't think this is a free service; the brigade headquarters won't pay for it, so everyone present has to pay.

Everyone kept a record of three cents.

The officers from the commune's coastal defense police station arrived quickly; they had a speedboat.

It came from the sea, not by driving on mountain roads.

At present, the coastal defense and public security departments are not separated; they work together in the same office and are part of the same system.

However, the separation is imminent; with the increasing crackdown on smuggling, Haiphong will be separated from the rest of the country.

Only three police officers arrived. When they reached the entrance of the brigade headquarters, they gave a meaningful smile to the people standing in a row.

They were then welcomed inside by Party Secretary Chen and Yang Jianjun for tea.

As it was getting dark, a lot of people came to the entrance of the brigade headquarters, including Shi Hailong's parents, older brother, and older sister.

Chen Dabiao's parents and family, Yang Guangming's family, and Zheng Shangang and Chen Shengqiang's family all came.

Only Zhao Hu and his sister came to visit him.

Under pressure from his parents, Chen Dabiao explained the whole story.

The actions of Lin Shaowen and others have also aroused public outrage.

After talking with Secretary Chen, the police officers came out and called everyone in for questioning.

There were people taking statements on one side.

After dinner, the lights at the entrance of the brigade headquarters came on, and more and more villagers came to watch the excitement.

Through word of mouth, everyone quickly understood the cause and effect.

Then the villagers demanded that the police arrest Lin Shaowen and the other three and put them in jail.

Don't let them go back to the village.

These people have done too many bad things over the years, and it's rare to see so many people working together this time.

With Lin Shaowen and Yang Guangwu crippled by Shi Hailong, the villagers dared to speak out.

In the past, I always thought that if I didn't offend anyone, I should just endure it and let it go, for fear of retaliation.
