Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Show Mercy

Wan Pengcheng deliberately tussled with Jiang Xingye and leaned toward Xu Qinghuan’s side. Before Jiang Xingye could act, Xu Qinghuan kicked right at his center, that indescribable place.

“Stupid b*tch, f*ck your mother!” As soon as Wan Pengcheng opened his mouth, Jiang Xingye punched him hard, knocking out a few of his teeth on the spot.

His whole cheek quickly swelled up.

“Come on, let’s go!” Yang Xiaoping was also a troublemaker, rolling up his sleeves and hitting the nearest driver, who was actually bewildered and not prepared to fight.

Wan Pengcheng’s father was the director of the commune’s grain station, thinking he had some influence, he wanted his son transferred to the county’s transportation station, convinced that the county would definitely be better than the commune.

After working on this for two years, this year they finally heard there was a vacancy, a slight opening of the opportunity, but before they could start pushing harder, upon inquiry, they were told no, the position had been taken.

In fact, it was just an excuse, but Wan Pengcheng and his father took it seriously, feeling that Jiang Xingyong suddenly entering the transportation station had stolen their spot.

In the past, whether Jiang Xingye left his tractor or bicycle at the commune’s transportation team, they were always fine. This time, Wan Pengcheng didn’t want to suffer this loss for nothing, so in his anger, he damaged Jiang Xingye’s bicycle.

In those days, having a sturdy bicycle was like having a Lamborghini in later times. It was rare to have one in the surrounding villages, and Wan Pengcheng’s move was quite nasty.

He swayed the driver team to side with him, intending to intimidate Jiang Xingye, to show the Jiang Family their strength, so that no random people would be sent to the county’s transportation station, occupying their spot. He didn’t really plan on fighting.

Jiang Xingye initially didn’t dare to fight because Xu Qinghuan was there, but his wife started the brawl first, and Wan Pengcheng even targeted her deliberately, that was intolerable!

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xingye had taken down several drivers.

Chen Yongsheng heard the commotion, hurriedly put down his tea mug, and ran downstairs, seeing Jiang Xingye with his foot on Wan Pengcheng’s face, while the others writhed and struggled on the ground like worms. He was almost scared to death, “Xingye, show mercy, show mercy!”

Jiang Xingye stepped back seeing him arrive.

“What’s going on here, making such a fuss!” Chen Yongsheng asked this to the people on the ground.

One driver who was lightly beaten got up, “Director, it’s really none of our business, it was Pengcheng and Comrade Jiang who had a conflict. We were just standing by watching, he hit us as well.”

Yang Xiaoping jumped up, “You were standing by, surrounding us in the middle, watching us like this?”

A few people felt embarrassed, got up, and retreated a bit.

Chen Yongsheng stared at Wan Pengcheng, “Why did you start a conflict with Comrade Jiang?”

Wan Pengcheng was fuming, “Director, can’t ask like that, how do I know what kind of madness he’s on!”

Yang Xiaoping said, “He damaged Brother Ye’s bicycle. Brother Ye left his bicycle here, he couldn’t stand it for whatever reason and broke the chain and punctured the tires.”

Jiang Xingye said, “No need to say more, this bicycle is new, you should buy an identical one to compensate me, or else…”

Jiang Xingye’s bicycle was a Golden Deer, costing at least one hundred fifty or sixty yuan, plus a bicycle ticket, totaling around two-three hundred yuan, which wasn’t cheap.

“It wasn’t me, I didn’t damage his bicycle.” When Wan Pengcheng said this, his face flushed and his neck thickened.

Yang Xiaoping was furious, “Not you? I saw it with my own eyes.”

“You saw it, why didn’t you catch me on the spot? Who doesn’t know you’re good with Jiang Xingye, you set me up on purpose?”

Wan Pengcheng’s words were too shameless, several drivers who supported him moved further away.

“I will accuse you of slandering me!” Wan Pengcheng accused Yang Xiaoping, the latter was about to strike, but Jiang Xingye stopped him.

Chen Yongsheng laughed scornfully, “So, the bicycle placed at our transportation team, damaged like this, should we compensate for it?”

“Why should we pay! Who told him to put it here; this transportation team isn’t his home. If everyone left bicycles here, could we park here?” Wan Pengcheng said.

Chen Yongsheng sneered, “This commune transportation team isn’t yours, nor is it mine, it belongs to the people. Why wouldn’t you allow others to put their bikes here? It’s not his, it’s your home; you’re acting as the master of the transportation team here?”

Wan Pengcheng was immediately speechless.

Chen Yongsheng no longer listened to his nonsense, “Alright then, since you don’t want to admit it, everyone is responsible for damaging the bicycle, and will compensate together.”

He asked Jiang Xingye, “Comrade Jiang, could it be just repaired? We will cover the repair cost.”

Jiang Xingye understood Chen Yongsheng’s intent and played along naturally, “No way, it’s a new bike, ruined like this. I’m done with it; this broken bike is yours; compensate me with a new one.”

“Fine, compensation for the bike, everyone at the transportation team will pitch in.” Chen Yongsheng said,

“Since no one volunteered to take responsibility, we’ll all take responsibility together. So that rumor doesn’t go around, making the public think our transportation team is disconnected from the people, with a problem in mindset.”

Getting beat up was nothing, but cashing out was serious bleeding. Neither drivers nor porters, even the gatekeeper uncle opposed, unwilling to pay up.

“It was Wan Pengcheng who damaged it, I saw it with my own eyes.”

“I also saw it with my own eyes, Pengcheng, you better step up; this was your doing; no one is falsely accusing you.”

“Yeah, he said Comrade Jiang’s brother went to the county transport team, saying the spot originally belonged to him, but someone took it; he said he wanted to teach Comrade Jiang a lesson.”

Wan Pengcheng was left speechless; this was indeed his doing, admitting or not, it didn’t help. He had no choice but to bow his head, but his tightly clenched fists showed his unwillingness.

Chen Yongsheng said to Jiang Xingye, “You take my bicycle home first, I’ll provide an explanation for you on this matter.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Xingye didn’t say much, he swiftly rode Chen Yongsheng’s bicycle, taking Xu Qinghuan back home.

Before leaving, he patted Yang Xiaoping’s shoulder, “Come over to eat sometime.”

“Sure, I won’t be polite. Sis-in-law, goodbye!” Lin Xiaoping waved to Xu Qinghuan.

Xu Qinghuan smiled, “Goodbye!”

Chen Yongsheng looked at Xu Qinghuan a few more times, calling out, “Don’t forget to invite me to the wedding!”

“Understood!” Jiang Xingye’s voice was very cheerful.

Chen Yongsheng heard this, couldn’t help but smile, “Cheeky boy!”

Over the years, he had never seen Jiang Xingye so happy; earlier upstairs, he actually saw this girl being quite fierce.

Xu Qinghuan sat on the back seat of Jiang Xingye’s bike, “Do you know the director of this transport team?”

“Uh, I do. I saved him once before, when he was hunting with people in the mountains, surrounded by wolves, I rescued them all. Later on, when I left, I didn’t recognize him, but he recognized me.”

Chen Yongsheng had always wanted him to work at the transportation station, but he was lazy to come.

He knew all too well, friends without interest entanglements could be friends for a long time, but once too close, or tangled in interests, it usually meets its end.

Throughout his life, not many had treated him well.
