Chapter 110 Demolition! (Second Update!)

He placed the documents on the table and then gently pushed them in front of Lin Yaodong: "Uncle, this glorious and arduous task is now entrusted to you."

Lin Yaodong picked up the documents, flipped through them all, and began comparing them with the information in his memory.

After about ten minutes, he put away the documents and nodded slightly to Lin Man: "You can rest assured and leave this matter to me."

After receiving his assurance, Lin Man turned to Mo Kaiming, who was standing to the side: "You coordinate the excavator, cement, and gravel to come to the site and start clearing those two drainage ditches. I will announce this to the whole village later and ask each household to send someone to carry out the repairs."

"If anyone tries to stop us, call the police and have them removed."

After hearing this, Mo Kaiming clenched his right fist and punched his chest twice: "Leave it to me!"

"Then you two go ahead and get busy." Lin Man nodded to the two of them, then walked past them into the broadcasting room, turned on the broadcasting system, tapped the microphone lightly with his fingers, and then called out twice, "Hello, hello, can you hear me?"

"I am Lin Man. I am here to announce some good news to everyone. The election results for the Hongxing Village Committee are in. The comrades from the town's civil affairs department have also delivered the election certificates to the village committee."

"Our ninth village committee election has officially concluded."

"The election is over. Now, the village committee will begin its official work."

"Now I'd like to inform you about the work we'll be doing next."

"The first item is to demolish all buildings that encroach on village roads, drainage ditches, irrigation canals, beaches, and collective land areas."

"The second item is to repair the drainage ditches of Mojiatan and Linjiatai. This requires everyone's contribution. As for the repair funds, each household will contribute fifty yuan. Any shortfall will be subsidized by Hongxing Information Technology Co., Ltd."

"Those who cannot attend will have to pay an extra fifty dollars."

"Those who neither contribute labor nor money will not be considered for future recruitment and profit sharing by the village collective enterprise."

"Thirdly, starting today, the village will launch a canteen for elderly people living alone and children, providing free meals for the five-guarantee households, impoverished households, elderly people who have lost their only child, and orphans."

"The rest of the staff will be paid five yuan per meal. They can take only what they need. If anyone is picky and wastes food, their spot will be canceled."

"The above benefits are only for villagers of this village. If a villager brings other non-villagers into the canteen for a meal, their spot will be cancelled."

"Fourth, conduct training on honest business practices."

"All villagers who operate fish farms, restaurants, entertainment venues, supermarkets, or hotels are prohibited from extortion and blackmail."

"We treat all tourists equally, whether they are local or from out of town, and all services are clearly priced."

"If any discrepancies arise in pricing or extortion during the service process, the incident will be announced over the village's loudspeaker for half a month, and the case will be reported to the police for further handling."

"Fifth item: Public health and workplace safety promotion."

"Everyone, I don't care if you're male or female, young or old, throw all the trash in your hands into the trash can."

"Especially those damn diapers, throw them in the trash."

"From this day forward, if anyone throws their trash next to the bin instead of into the bin, I will broadcast it over the loudspeaker and keep shouting until they agree to put their trash in the bin."

"The sixth item is the repair of village streetlights and roads. We will repair the streetlights in the village soon. The funds will be provided by Hongxing Information Technology Co., Ltd. But I need to make this clear beforehand: once the streetlights are installed, if any of those rascals use slingshots to shoot at the light bulbs again..."

"Then be careful with your windows."

"This time, we've added surveillance cameras to the streetlights. If they capture a child turning on a light bulb, we'll send someone to break your window."

"During the road repairs in the village, some retaining walls needed to be demolished and repaired."

"It might take a while, please understand."

"As for the dirt roads in front of those houses, they are not included in this renovation. We still have videos from when the roads were repaired. If anyone causes trouble, I will just post the videos on Douyin."

Finally, the repair work involved in these matters may temporarily occupy land, and there is no compensation for temporary occupation.

""

"If you want money, come and make trouble. See if I can tolerate you or not."

At the entrance of Hongxing Village, accompanied by Lin Man's shouts, several trucks towing excavators slowly drove off the national highway and into Hongxing Village, heading towards the first demolition site, which was the bay beach of Hongxing Village.

Finally, several trucks stopped at the entrance to the beach in front of a sign that read "Parking Lot".

As soon as the truck came to a stop, an elderly man in his fifties ran out from a tin shed next to the parking lot and kept shouting at the truck driver, "Parking here is free, park here."

The driver ignored him and just stood there making a phone call.

-

Not long after, Lin Yaodong appeared at the entrance of the parking lot with a roll of documents in his hand.

He didn't rush inside. Instead, he turned on the action camera hanging around his neck, made sure it was working, and then headed towards the parking lot entrance.

Upon seeing him, the old man who had been urging the driver to stop the car froze, about to speak, when Lin Yaodong pointed to the tin shed the old man had come out of: "Get the excavator down and dig up this tin shed first."

"Then tear down this lousy sign!"

The man who paid the money was the boss. Upon receiving his instructions, the driver climbed onto the excavator and began to control it to get off.

When the old man next to him heard Lin Yaodong ordering an excavator to dig up his tin shed, he immediately ran over and reached out to grab Lin Yaodong.

But he was too slow and missed in the first round, allowing Lin Yaodong to dodge.

He turned around and tried to grab him again, but before his hand was even halfway out, Lin Yaodong raised his hand and slapped the old man across the face, knocking him to the ground.

The next second, the old man let out a deafening wail: "They're beating people! The village officials are beating people!"

Although the beach in Hongxing Village has been ruined, there are still many Chinese people there, and there are always a few who refuse to believe in evil.

People were playing on the beach not far away. Noticing the commotion, the beachgoers quickly gathered around.

I've been ripped off by this awful place and I'm seething with anger, not knowing who to vent it on. Now that there's something funny to watch, I'll prioritize that.

It has to be worth the ticket price at least.

As soon as these people gathered around, they heard the old man say that the village officials had beaten people. After only a moment's hesitation, they turned their anger towards Lin Yaodong: "How could village officials beat people?"

"Even if someone is wrong in a thousand ways, you village officials cannot beat people."

"yes!"

Hearing their accusations, Lin Yaodong looked around as if nothing had happened. After a while, he asked the group, "Where's your car?"

The people at the front turned around and pointed to the so-called parking lot next to them: "Park in there, free parking?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaodong grabbed the old man from the ground and turned him towards the tourists: "Lin Qixin, you tell me, is parking here free?"

Lin Qixin's collar was being grabbed, like a cat being pulled by the scruff of its neck. Just as he was about to lie, he realized that the hand that was holding his clothes had somehow moved to his neck.

He swallowed hard, grinned at the tourists, and said, "Parking costs fifty yuan for the first hour, one hundred yuan for one to three hours, and two hundred yuan for more than three hours."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qixin realized that the hand gripping his neck had loosened. He quickly ran to the side, and when he turned around, he saw Lin Yaodong reaching out to the tourists, saying with a slightly sarcastic tone, "Parking fee is fifty yuan. There are four cars in total, so it's two hundred yuan."

"Pay the money first!"

Upon hearing about the parking fee, the people who had just spoken up for Lin Qixin immediately became anxious.

Two hundred yuan!

That's four KFC family buckets!

Despite the unexpected turn of events, the people who had spoken up for Lin Qixin didn't want to pay. The woman at the front pointed her left finger at Lin Qixin and shouted, "This is someone else's parking lot, what's it to you?"

When the topic of parking lot ownership came up, Lin Yaodong chuckled and unfolded the blueprints in his hand: "What a coincidence!"

"I have here a ledger of the land allocation, a map, and the latest land ownership confirmation documents."

"This parking lot does not belong to this guy named Lin Qixin."

"This is a wasteland, land belonging to the village collective."

"Lin Qixin's land is at the very front of this parking lot, in that place that never gets any sunlight."

"Less than one-tenth of this parking lot."

"He has encroached on the village's collective land. Now, we will demolish this illegal building in accordance with regulations."

"Everyone who has no connection to this, get out of the way!"

With Lin Yaodong's shout, the excavator bypassed him and rumbled to the front of the parking lot. The driver controlled the excavator to raise the arm and then slammed it down.

With a loud crash, the two steel pipe pillars that served as the gate at the entrance of the parking lot were slammed into the ground, and the oversized "Free Parking" sign hanging next to it was swept away by the excavator and smashed to pieces.

After filming the steel pipe column, the excavator arrived at Lin Qixin's tin shed. Instead of digging directly down, it frantically shook its shovel.

With the shaking, a cat, a dog, and a person darted out of the tin shed.

The woman was Lin Qixin's wife, about the same age as him. As soon as she stepped outside, she froze. Once she saw the people around her and understood what Lin Yaodong was up to, she collapsed to the ground and began to cry and wail: "Murder! Murder! The village officials have killed someone!"

Hearing her wailing, Lin Yaodong calmly flicked the action camera hanging around his neck with his finger. "Stop wailing, it's all being recorded here!"

With that one sentence, Lin Qixin's wife's wailing stopped abruptly. She could only keep wiping her eyes with her hands, glaring at Lin Yaodong with murderous intent: "Lin Yaodong, Lin Qixin respectfully calls you 'Uncle,' that's a sign of respect."

Who do you think you are?

"Really?" Lin Yaodong rolled his eyes, then took out his phone and started making a call.

The number he dialed was a bit difficult to reach; it took him several minutes to get through.

As soon as the other person said a sentence, he started talking non-stop like beans pouring from a bamboo tube: "Hello, I am Lin Yaodong, the deputy director of the village committee of Hongxing Village, Linhai Town, Xinhui City."

"I'm making this call because there's a guy here named Lin Qixin who's been using village collective land to build a parking lot, but he doesn't seem to have ever paid a single penny of tax."

No sooner had Lin Yaodong finished speaking than an impatient voice came from the phone: "Are you sure?"

"Confirmed!" Lin Yaodong's voice was certain. He repeated the address again, and after the other end hung up, he looked at Lin Qixin's wife with a grin: "This parking lot of yours started in 2020, so this year is 2026."

"In other words, you haven't paid a single penny of tax since 2020. I wonder if you'll feel any better when the tax bureau comes."

Lin Qixin's wife fell silent, only able to glare hatefully at Lin Yaodong.

After waiting a while longer, instead of the expected scolding, Lin Yaodong waved his hand and said, "Dig up this dilapidated pavilion!"

The excavator operator received the instruction and moved the excavator forward. One, two, three times, the dilapidated pavilion was dug out, and its contents were scattered all over the ground.

The excavator lifted its shovel and shoveled at the pavilion once, twice.

Under the hammering of the excavator, the pavilion originally used to guard the parking lot was smashed into a pile of scrap metal on the ground.

After knocking on the toll booth at the entrance, the excavator, under Lin Yaodong's command, drove towards the beach.

The excavator drove onto the beach, and another small truck that had been parked on the side of the road followed suit.

Finally, the excavator and the mini-truck stopped at the westernmost edge of the beach. The mini-truck driver jumped out, opened the side panel of the truck, and revealed what he was carrying.

A section of iron chain!

Lin Yaodong turned on the walkie-talkie and shouted to the excavator driver, "Master, this section of the iron chain has a magnet on it. Use the excavator to remove this thing, then drag the excavator and the iron chain around the beach. Use the magnetism of the metal to pull out all the stuff on this beach."

After figuring out how to use the iron chain, the excavator driver moved the bucket closer, and the truck driver climbed onto the cargo box to lock the iron chain to the hook on the excavator bucket.

Once the chain was secured, the excavator driver started the engine and, dragging the massive chain, began cleaning the beach.

The chains rolled across the beach, ensnaring the logs hidden in the sand, as well as the sharp iron objects and steel needles concealed beneath the sand.

Before long, the iron chain was covered with all sorts of small, sharp iron objects, steel needles, and even a number of steel bars more than 30 centimeters long.

Looking at what appeared on the magnetic chain, Lin Yaodong couldn't help but shake his head. While the excavator was dragging the chain, he took out his phone and took a few photos, which he then sent to the village group's work group.

Then, he tagged a few people in the village group's work group.

After these people started replying to messages in the group, he added another message:

[You families, tear down the walls you built onto the road. Hurry up and clean up the mess on the beach; then it'll be time to tear down your walls.]

After sending the message, Lin Yaodong stuffed his phone into his pocket, crossed his arms, and looked at the distant beach and the chain being dragged by the excavator.

In the village, Lin Qide looked at the content on his WeChat app, his face darkened, he pressed the talk button with his thumb, brought the phone to his mouth, and began speaking in Cantonese:
