He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

After saying that, Niu Bayi snapped his fingers, turned around, and walked back to the bus.

"Driver, don't just stand there, close the door and drive!"

The driver was terrified.

That kid's awesome!

Without using his hands, he beat five local thugs to the ground with just his feet.

I closed the car door and then drove off.

If I don't act quickly, I wonder if this guy, who's even more vicious than a thug, might kick me a few times too.

Before long, the bus sped off.

Only five thugs remained lying on the roadside, groaning in pain and convulsing.

The scene was as ridiculous as it could be.

After finally catching up with the bus, I thought I could give the person I was going to beat up a good beating.

But he kicked him several times until he couldn't get up.

Who can I tell about this grievance?

It really doesn't work.

Niu Dazhuang, Ma Chunhua, and Chen Meifeng, who were behind them, had smiles on their faces.

The smile on his face has now frozen.

Niu Dazhuang muttered, "No way, they seemed so arrogant just now, they could even catch the bus, but who knew... if they catch it, they're not going to beat someone up, they're going to get beaten up?"

Ma Chunhua looked dejected.

"This...this is really something, letting them go and beat people up..."

"They got beaten up! Ugh, Niu Bayi went too far!"

She stomped her foot hard.

Yeah, you damn Niu Bayi, we'll send people to beat you up, you can just obediently take the beating.

Why did you fight back?!

Chen Meifeng was at a loss.

"What... what should we do? I saw them catch the bus and even stop it. I thought Niu Bayi was going to be in trouble, but I didn't expect that after he kicked a few times, he wouldn't be the one in trouble."

The three of them looked dejected, but they still cautiously approached.

Looking at Luo Quanqiu's contorted face, Chen Meifeng asked fearfully, "Quanqiu, are you alright? Are you okay? Should we... take you to the hospital?"

Ma Chunhua was more direct.

"Globally, why are you so...useless!"

"I told you to go beat someone up, but... how did you end up getting beaten up yourself? You're all bruised and can't even get up. Ugh, I shouldn't have asked you. Now you're going to have to pay for medical bills at the hospital."

Niu Dazhuang was also full of frustration and complaints.

"Yeah, weren't you guys supposed to be the best gangsters in the county? How did you end up like this?"

Originally, Luo Quanqiu and the others were lying on the ground, unable to get up, and just wanted to lie down for ten days or half a month.

But provoked by Niu Dazhuang and Ma Chunhua, he couldn't help but jump up and punch and kick them.

If I can't beat Niu Bayi, beating these two bastards will do the trick.

Niu Dazhuang and Ma Chunhua were beaten so badly that they screamed and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Chen Meifeng was dumbfounded and waved her hands frantically.

"Stop hitting them! Stop hitting my mom! Stop hitting my dad! Why... why are you hitting your own people?"

Luo Quanqiu turned his head sharply and pointed at her forcefully.

"Chen Meifeng, you son of a bitch, you've made me so embarrassed! In front of so many people, I got slapped by that bastard. I'll never be able to show my face in the county again!"

"I'm going to make sure Niu Bayi is dead!"

"You have to carry me on your back, right now, carry me back."

Without thinking twice, he leaned over Chen Meifeng's back.

Chen Meifeng was almost knocked to the ground by the weight.

Chen Meifeng cried.

She cried as she carried Luo Quanqiu back home.

Niu Bayi, sitting on the back of the bus, turned his head and saw this scene. He looked amused and shook his head.

Although he knew he might have offended a guy with underground influence in the county, he wasn't too afraid.

At worst, we can just let Jiang Zhida handle it.

I was back at the construction site before four o'clock.

Upon seeing this, Niu Bayi's eyes lit up.

A group of workers had already tidied up the earthen slope neatly and even drawn lines on the ground for digging foundation trenches.

They haven't even started digging yet; obviously, they're waiting for Niu Bayi to come and confirm.

Once that was decided, we started digging the foundation trench.

A group of craftsmen were still wielding large and small iron hammers on the side, smashing the huge giant clam shell that Niu Bayi had brought over.

On a hot day, the giant clam shells were placed in a place exposed to direct sunlight, and they were thoroughly dried.

In one of the sheds, a lot of raw materials were also displayed.

Lime powder, sand, glutinous rice, and the like.

One package after another, stacked together.

Next to the shed, there were thirty or forty thick pine logs, each about two meters tall, neatly stacked together, which looked very sturdy.

It was also used for laying foundations, roughly equivalent to modern concrete pillars.

Clearly, Niu Aiguo has done a very good job, having already bought all the raw materials for him.

It's perfectly fine to use it for laying the foundation and building part of the wall.

Upon seeing him approach, the ten masters began to chatter amongst themselves.

Let him check the baseline. If there are no problems, we'll start excavating tomorrow.

There shouldn't be any major problems using the existing giant clam shells, after they've been crushed, to mix with mortar for pouring foundations.

But if we want to use them to build walls, we need to hurry out to sea and get giant clam shells.

I estimate that laying the foundation will take only two or three days.

Niu Ba nodded and said okay, then checked the baseline.

Indeed, everything was done according to his requirements, meticulously and in accordance with the rules.

After confirming with the instructors that there were no problems, I asked them if they had eaten enough for lunch.

The group of masters were all beaming with joy, patting their bellies.

"We're so full! Your wife and mother-in-law came over this noon, bringing over 20 pounds of fatty pork, and they made us a huge pot of braised pork!"

"Yes, this braised pork also has shiitake mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots, plus some dried shrimp; it's incredibly fragrant!"

"Wow, I ate three big bowls of rice with just this braised pork!"

"My wife was worried that I'd lose weight from the hard work at your place, but I've gained a full three pounds in just two or three days!"

……

Seeing his masters looking satisfied, Niu Bayi felt at ease and happy.

He understood very well that he couldn't be stingy with these craftsmen.

If there's anything that displeases them, they won't be as focused on their work.

The quality of the project may also become poor.

Therefore, he would rather spend more money to have the craftsmen build him a house that will last for a hundred years.

He said, "Fellow workers, just work hard. I won't treat you unfairly, whether it's food or wages. You've already been paid for the three days of clearing the slope."

"Starting tomorrow, I'll be relying on you all to lay the foundation and do other work for me."

"I'll pay you for ten days' work first. Ten workers will be paid 2 yuan a day, which is 20 yuan. Ten days' work will be 200 yuan."

He took out twenty ten-yuan bills and handed them to Master Zhao, who was in charge.

"Master Zhao, could you please send this out?"

Then, he pulled out two more ten-yuan bills.

"As I said at the beginning, if the workers do a good job, I will give them an extra bonus. It's not much, just 2 yuan per person, just a token. I'd also appreciate it if Master Zhao could distribute it."

He also stuffed the two ten-yuan bills into Master Zhao's hand.

The group of workers were moved; some even had tears in their eyes.
