Chapter 5: Shouting Across the Air
"Brother, I didn't expect that prisoner is still alive. I'm afraid he's begging for food in the United States?"
Zhang Ercheng glanced at the beautiful Erya, a greedy , and he laughed.
Although he broke off the engagement, he still wanted to use some means to get Arya. Unfortunately, Arya never paid any attention to him, so he had no idea where to start.
Zhang Dacheng glanced at Daya, and his eyes showed the same expression as his brother. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "I'm afraid she's calling to ask for money. Maybe she got into trouble in the United States again."
"You are talking nonsense. My old man was imprisoned for no reason. He is not a labor camp inmate. One day he will find that woman to prove his innocence. Humph, you brothers are not even as good as one of my arms. What qualifications do you have to talk about him?"
Erya has a hot temper and started to talk back immediately.
Zhang Dacheng and Zhang Ercheng were so angry that their faces turned black. These words pierced their hearts directly, because they were only 1.7 meters tall, only reaching Wang Tiejun's chest. Indeed, when they joined forces, they were all slapped down by that bastard Wang Tiejun, and more than once.
"Arya, ignore them."
Daya has a gentle personality and immediately grabbed Erya.
At this time, Aunt Six interrupted and said, "Dacheng and Ercheng, I advise you not to mess with Daya and Erya. Be careful that Tiejun will come back and put you in the dung pit again."
“Puff!”
Da Ya and Er Ya burst out laughing at the same time.
Last year, after their father was released from prison, he learned that they had dropped out of school, got married, and were then broken off from engagement. He was so angry that he had a big fight with their father Wang Aiguo. Then he ran to Zhang's house, grabbed the brothers Zhang Dacheng and Zhang Ercheng by the neck, and threw them directly into their family's cesspool.
“You, you guys…”
This incident became a laughing stock in the area at the time and was a psychological demon for the Zhang brothers. Upon hearing the story, they were so angry that their entire bodies began to tremble.
After Zhang Dacheng calmed down, he said coldly, "What are you laughing at? Wang Tiejun is done for. He has been in jail for one day and will be a prisoner for the rest of his life. He will never be able to turn over a new leaf."
"That's right. He is a released prisoner. In ancient times, he would have a tattoo on his head and be labeled a damned thief wherever he went."
Zhang Ercheng cursed.
"You guys? Wuwu..."
Da Ya and Er Ya were so angry that they thought about their old man being forced to go to America and they might never see him again in this life. They were so angry and sad that they squatted on the ground and cried with their faces covered.
When Aunt Six saw them, she scolded, "You two brothers are really worthless. You flatter the powerful and bully the weak. When her family was doing well, you shamelessly climbed up to them. Now that they are in trouble, you are stepping into the mud. Be careful of retribution."
"Sixth Aunt, Wang Tiejun's imprisonment is retribution."
"That's right. We dare not step into the homes of prisoners. Our pig pens are cleaner than theirs. We are afraid of dirtying our feet."
The Zhang brothers said in a sarcastic tone.
"You, can you behave like human beings?" Aunt Six was also very angry.
At this time, Wang Tiejun in the United States waited for a while, and seeing that it was almost twenty-five minutes, he couldn't help but dial the phone again.
"Hello?" After five rings, the call was connected.
"Uncle Hongtong, has my dad arrived?" he asked quickly.
"No, you are anxious now. What have you been doing in the past few months?" Liu Hong asked.
"Busy making money, haha. By the way, uncle, is my family okay these past few months?" Wang Tiejun asked.
"What a fart!"
Liu Hongtong cursed and said, "You haven't called me since you left. People in the village said you died in the United States. Your parents and sister worry about you every day. Do you think you can get better?
Also, the Zhang brothers have been harassing your two sisters every day, trying to take advantage of your family's difficulties to take advantage of them..."
"What?"
The short hair on Wang Tiejun's head stood up, and he shouted angrily, "Have those two dogs eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard? Uncle, get me the horn, quickly!"
"What do you want to do, kid?" Liu Hongtong asked hurriedly.
"Don't worry about it, bring the loudspeaker over here, I have something to say." Wang Tiejun shouted.
In the field, the Zhang brothers were still constantly provoking Daya and Erya with words, when suddenly the loudspeaker in the village sounded again.
"Zhang Da Gou, Zhang Er Gou, you two bastards, listen to me carefully..."
Wang Tiejun's huge roar sounded through the loudspeaker and spread throughout the 57th Brigade.
There were four people in the 57th Brigade, and several thousand people were all startled when they heard his voice. Is the Backer King back?
"son?"
Wang Aiguo, who was almost running to the brigade headquarters, was stunned.
"son?"
Liu Damei put down the hoe and looked towards the direction of the brigade headquarters in surprise.
"Old man?"
When Daya and Erya, who were crying, heard the voice, they immediately stood up.
"King of the Mountain?"
Hearing the roar, Zhang Dacheng and Zhang Ercheng trembled all over and their faces changed suddenly.
"He, he's back?" Zhang Dacheng looked nervously towards the direction of the brigade headquarters.
"Are you really back?" Zhang Ercheng said in a trembling voice.
They heard that those who had been in jail were all desperate criminals, and they brothers thought that Wang Tiejun would never come back, so they dared to bully Daya and Erya. Now that the desperado suddenly came back, they were scared to death.
At this time, the loud speaker continued to roar: "I will be back in July next year. If I hear you bullying my two sisters, I will turn you into fertilizer. Do you believe it?
Now think carefully about which piece of land you want to fertilize. I will satisfy you. I will definitely dig a deep pit for you and dig up your ancestral graves and bury you all together..."
When the Zhang brothers heard these murderous words, they were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled and their faces changed drastically.
"No, King Kaoshan, Tie, Tiejun brothers, we, we were just joking, we didn't do anything?" Zhang Dacheng said trembling with fear.
"Brother, he, he can't hear you." Zhang Ercheng stuttered.
"Sister, I will be back in July next year." Erya jumped up excitedly.
"Uh-huh……"
Daya’s back straightened instantly. Her brother was coming back. Who would dare to bully them in the future?
At this time, the loudspeaker suddenly went silent. It turned out that Liu Hongtong turned it off because he was afraid that the matter would get out of hand.
"Captain, I, my Tiejun..." Just then Wang Aiguo ran to the brigade headquarters breathlessly.
"Come in quickly, the phone hasn't been hung up yet, and your kid is still scolding the Zhang brothers. My goodness, I was worried that he would crawl out from the other end of the phone."
Liu Hongtong waved repeatedly.
"oh oh."
Wang Aiguo hurried over and took the microphone.
On the other side of the field, the Zhang brothers were a little flustered at first, but they reacted after the horn stopped working.
"What are you afraid of? I don't believe that kid dares to attack us. This is outrageous. If he, a prisoner, dares to touch us, we will report him to the police immediately and have him shot."
Zhang Dacheng shouted angrily.
"Yes, yes, big brother, you are absolutely right. We were intimidated by him. This kid is really a good-for-nothing. He said he would come back next year, but I don't think he will come back in his lifetime." Zhang Ercheng nodded repeatedly.
"My old man keeps his word. He said he would come back next year, and he will definitely come back. If you want to bully us again, just wait and see."
The person who spoke was not Erya, but Daya, who had always been timid and gentle. After hearing what Wang Tiejun had said, she became bolder.
"My sister is right, I never tell lies. Just wait, he can slap you to death with one slap." Arya screamed.
The two Zhang brothers looked at each other in bewilderment. They were only giving themselves encouragement verbally, but how could they know whether Wang Tiejun could come back?
"So what if he comes back? He'll be a poor fellow when he comes back."
"If he dares to touch us, he will have to spend his whole life in jail."
Now that Da Ya and Er Ya were getting more confident, their confidence suddenly waned. After hesitating for a few words, they walked away in disgrace.
Aunt Six sighed, "Tiejun is such a capable guy, he's still in the United States, look how scared these two brothers are!
A tiger is never dead, but its power never dies. Compared with you brothers, these two brothers are just two country dogs. Fortunately, they broke off the engagement two years ago. It is a blessing for you not to marry them.
You guys, you are counting on your brother to become rich someday, but don’t forget about you two sisters. With some support, you can also have a good life.”
Da Ya and Er Ya looked at each other, with expectation in their eyes.
They remembered what their brother Tiejun said to them before he went to the United States, that when he made money in the future, he would support them in going to college. They wanted to study and did not want to spend their whole lives digging the fields and feeding pigs.
About an hour later, Wang Aiguo came back in a daze.
"His father, his son..." Liu Damei asked loudly from a distance.
"Oh, my son said, he said..."
Wang Aiguo quickened his pace and came to Liu Damei, saying excitedly: "He said he found a formal job and can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. He will send money home in a few months to pay off the debt."
"What?"
Liu Damei was not happy but surprised. She said in panic: "This kid, he, he won't, won't he go astray? How can it be so easy to make money from Americans?"
Wang Aiguo hurriedly advised, "It shouldn't be. He said there's a basketball team in the US that wants him to be a sparring partner. He's not working illegally anymore and has returned to his old job."
"call!"
Liu Damei heaved a sigh of relief, and her heart also fell from mid-air. Then she cried with joy and said, "His father, his son, he has finally made it."
"Uh-huh……"
Wang Aiguo nodded repeatedly, and the couple were already in tears at this moment.
Liu Damei continued crying, "That's right. My son won't be able to come back often in the future. I miss him so much. He just said he would come back next July. I'm afraid he was just trying to scare the Zhang family."
Wang Aiguo advised: "Why let him come back? He has been in prison. If he comes back, he will be pointed at and criticized by everyone. Everyone will look down on him and he will not be at peace."
"Yeah... I'll go tell Daya and Erya that their old man is successful now and he shouldn't forget his two sisters who have endured hardships for him."
While wiping her tears, Liu Damei put down her hoe and trotted towards her own field.
Seeing their mother running towards this side, Daya and Erya, who had been looking over here from a distance, suddenly became suspicious.
"Sister, no, is it possible that something really happened to me in America?"
Erya suddenly became scared, she knew her brother's temper too well.
"I gonna go see."
Daya ran with the hoe in her hand, but after running a few steps she remembered to throw the hoe away.
"Sister, wait for me."
Erya quickly dropped her hoe and followed.
Aunt Liu, who was standing by, looked at the three mother and daughter approaching with her hoe, shook her head and sighed, "Alas, Tiejun is a troublesome kid. He has a bad temper and I don't know what trouble he has caused. This family has never had a peaceful time."
But soon, she was dumbfounded to see the three mother and daughters meet, whisper together for a few words , and soon burst into cheerful laughter.
