Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 402: Stealing chicken but losing rice
The next moment, without having time to think, Sun Maocai rushed forward, hugged Li Guoqiang's thighs tightly with both hands, and said in a hurry: "Qiangzi, Qiangzi, we can discuss everything, you must not give up!"

"you"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang was speechless for a moment because of Sun Maocai's behavior.

You know, according to his age, Sun Maocai is already a grandfather, and also a cadre of the brigade. Now he does such a shameful thing in front of everyone, which is really too eye-catching.

As the saying goes, there is no limit to the crime of killing. Although he wanted to teach Sun Maocai a lesson, he couldn't do anything too drastic in front of everyone.

Soon, he glanced at the villagers who had gathered around him, and then said unhappily, "Okay, get up! Let's go back to the house and talk about it."

"to make!"

Sun Maocai was delighted when he heard that, then he quickly got up from the ground and pulled Li Guoqiang back into the house, fearing that they would be surrounded by the villagers, which would be really embarrassing.

As the door closed, blocking out the inquiring eyes from outside, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he turned his head to look at Li Guoqiang who was already sitting on the kang, showed a flattering smile, and said softly: "Qiangzi, I admit that I didn't think it through, but I was thinking that I could let the workers in the bee farm learn to dig beehives in the mountains as soon as possible, so as to help you reduce the workload!"

After saying that, he looked at Li Guoqiang's silent and expressionless face, with an embarrassed look on his face, and then he hurriedly continued: "Well, I have already properly resolved the matter, and I guarantee that it will not affect the work of the bee farm. You are a magnanimous person, so don't bother me so much, okay?"

"Ah!"

When Li Guoqiang heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, and then said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Hey, Secretary Sun, from what you said, it seems that I am being too fussy, right?"

"no!"

Sun Maocai was slightly stunned, then quickly waved his hand and explained: "That's not what I meant. I just think you are always very reasonable and you shouldn't bother with an old man like me."

"Don't!"

Li Guoqiang blocked it with his hand, and then said with a look of disdain: "Don't flatter me, I'm not as reasonable as you say. I have always believed that kindness must be repaid and hatred must be avenged.

If someone makes life difficult for me, then they won’t be able to make life difficult for me either.”

After hearing this, Sun Maocai's heart trembled violently, and then he swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and said with a grim expression: "It's not that serious! After all, I am also a team leader, and I have the right to arrange things for the team.

What's more, I have always supported you. You can't turn against me just because of this matter, right?"

"Why is there no more?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then said with a sullen face: "Others may not know, but don't you know how dangerous it is in the mountains? If someone dies, who will take the responsibility? Will you take it?"

Moreover, since the team has entrusted the apiary to me, no matter what the matter is, they should at least tell me in advance. Otherwise, wouldn't that be treating the team's appointment as a joke?

If that's the case, is there any need for me to continue to care about it?"

"This"

Faced with this series of questions, Sun Maocai was speechless for a moment.

In fact, he also knew that what Li Guoqiang said was right. If it were him, he would not allow anyone to interfere in the affairs of the apiary, let alone something that might result in loss of life.

This is also the main reason why he gave in as soon as he saw Li Guoqiang coming to him.

After all, he was the one who was in the wrong in this matter.

If he could successfully get in touch with Zheng Kaitao and be promoted to a cadre in the county, that would be fine. Even if he offended Li Guoqiang, it wouldn't matter. But now things are going against his wishes.

In desperation, he could only think of a way to calm Li Guoqiang's anger.

Otherwise, what awaits him is not just stepping down, he may even be ostracized by the entire village.

And this is the power that Li Guoqiang has in the village now.

"What?"

Li Guoqiang saw that Sun Maocai didn't say anything, raised his eyebrows, and then said with some disdain: "Nothing to say, right?"

"I"

Sun Maocai opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and asked seriously, "Qiangzi, just tell me! What do you want from me now? Will you be satisfied?"

"Hey!"

Li Guoqiang stretched out his hand to block it, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't say that. How can I ask you to do that? I just hope you can tell the brigade to take back the apiary."

"Ouch!"

When Sun Maocai heard this, he immediately became anxious, and then said with a distressed look on his face: "Qiangzi, please stop bullying me like this, I really can't bear this responsibility.

As long as you can calm down, you can beat or scold me as you like.

If that doesn't work, I'll kneel down for you, okay?"

As he said that, he stood up and wanted to kowtow to Li Guoqiang.

However, before he could knock down, his arm was grabbed by Li Guoqiang, and then he immediately heard a question in his ear.

"Secretary Sun, what are you doing? Are you trying to shorten my life?"

"I"

Sun Maocai looked at Li Guoqiang who was dissatisfied with his face, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

In fact, he really had no other choice, so he gritted his teeth and knelt down to beg for forgiveness from Li Guoqiang.

Anyway, there were only him and Li Guoqiang in the room, so as long as he could get rid of this matter, he would accept it.

But he didn't expect that Li Guoqiang was still not satisfied with this.

Could it be that Li Guoqiang really wanted to kill him?

"okay!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Sun Maocai's useless appearance and immediately lost interest in arguing with him. He said in a deep voice, "Don't bother talking nonsense with me. If you want me to continue to be in charge of the bee farm, you'd better peel off the skin first."

"This"

When Sun Maocai heard this, his eyes widened and then he looked at Li Guoqiang in disbelief.

No matter how he thought about it, he never expected that Li Guoqiang would ask him to resign voluntarily.

If he really resigned from his position as brigade cadre, wouldn't he never have a chance to defeat Xu Guangfu in the future?

For him, this was even more painful than death.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Qiangzi, this won't work, why don't you change the conditions?" "Change the conditions?"

Li Guoqiang's face darkened, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Do you think you are still qualified to make conditions with me now? Besides, if you don't peel off this layer of skin, what will I do if you come to trip me up again next time?"

"will not!"

Hearing this, Sun Maocai hurriedly shook his head and said, "I promise that I will never interfere with the affairs of the bee farm again. If you don't believe me, I can write you a letter of guarantee."

"Come on!"

Li Guoqiang waved his hand, and then said with some disdain: "Your promise has no effect on me at all, otherwise you wouldn't have almost killed someone just after you agreed to let me manage the apiary."

"."

When Sun Maocai heard what Li Guoqiang said, he was suddenly speechless.

At this moment, he really regretted it.

If he had known that Li Guoqiang would have such a big reaction, he would never have risked clinging to Zheng Kaitao!
Now, not only did he fail to hold the thigh of the powerful, but he was also forced by Li Guoqiang to resign from his position as the brigade cadre.

Isn't this a typical case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken?
"okay!"

Seeing that Sun Maocai remained silent, Li Guoqiang quickly waved his hand and said, "I have already told you everything I should have said. It's up to you what you want to do. I won't talk nonsense with you any more."

After saying that, he quickly got up, got off the kang and walked out.

Seeing this, Sun Maocai wanted to chase after him and beg for mercy, but as soon as he raised his butt, he sat down again.

Because he knew that no matter how much he pleaded, Li Guoqiang would never change his mind.

If anyone is to blame, he can only blame himself for not expecting Li Guoqiang's reaction to be so big, and not expecting Li Guoqiang's conditions to be so harsh.

Now, there are only two paths before him.

One of them was to agree to Li Guoqiang's request and take the initiative to resign from the team.

The other option is to wait for Li Guoqiang to ask the team to resign as the head of the bee farm, and then let the angry villagers vote him out.

These two roads actually lead to the same destination, the only difference is that the first one is more decent.

Just as he was silently wondering if there was a third way to go, Li Guoqiang happened to meet Xu Yuliang and Xu Guanglu who had rushed over after hearing the noise at the gate of the courtyard.

"Qiangzi, when did you come back?"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Xu Yuliang and Xu Guanglu, who were in a hurry, smiled slightly, nodded and said, "In fact, they just came back a short while ago!"

"that."

Xu Guanglu turned his head to look at Sun Maocai's house, then asked solemnly, "Do you know everything?"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded and replied softly, "I know everything."

"and you."

When Xu Guanglu heard this, he was about to ask Li Guoqiang what his plan was, but was suddenly interrupted by Xu Yuliang.

"Qiangzi, let's go to your house and sit down first!"

Hearing this, Xu Guanglu reacted immediately, and then nodded hurriedly and agreed: "Yes, yes, let's not stand here, let's go to your house and sit down and talk."

Li Guoqiang naturally had no objection to this, and immediately took Xu Guanglu and Xu Yuliang back to his home.

At this time, Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping, who were still working at the apiary, had also received notices from Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani and rushed back home. Then, after learning that Li Guoqiang had gone to settle accounts with Sun Maocai, they couldn't help but feel worried.

Although Li Guoqiang has now become an indispensable member of Jinshanbao, and has become the God of Wealth for all the villagers thanks to Xiangmi Zhai, no matter what, Sun Maocai is still the patriarch and team leader of the Sun family.

If this matter really gets out of hand, it will be difficult to resolve.

Therefore, when they saw Li Guoqiang coming back with Xu Guanglu and Xu Yuliang, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then hurried over to help serve tea and water, and asked about the situation.

When Xu Guanglu and Xu Yuliang heard Xu Yuping asking about what had just happened at Sun Maocai's house, they all turned their eyes to Li Guoqiang's face, and it was obvious that they were also very concerned about it.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang didn't think about hiding anything, and just told Sun Maocai everything he had said before.

"What? You really said that?"

When Xu Guanglu, Xu Yuliang and others heard Li Guoqiang asking Sun Maocai to resign from his position as brigade cadre, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Yup!"

Li Guoqiang was slightly amused when he saw this, then nodded and said softly: "Since he likes to be in charge so much, I will make him lose the qualification to be in charge."

"This"

After hearing this, Xu Yuliang exchanged a glance with Xu Guanglu, then said with some concern: "This isn't a good idea! After all, he is the patriarch of the Sun family. If people knew that you forced him to resign, then the people of the Sun family would definitely have a problem with you.

Moreover, the decision to let the bee farm workers go into the mountains to dig up beehives was not made by him alone, but was approved by the entire brigade after a meeting.

If we really want to investigate, the entire team is responsible. You can't ask us to replace all of us!"

After saying this, he looked at Li Guoqiang nervously, fearing that Li Guoqiang would be angry with them because of this.

Little did he know that Li Guoqiang had already guessed that this matter had been approved by the brigade.

Otherwise, even if Sun Maocai had ten times the courage, he would not dare to let the workers at the bee farm take the risk of going into the mountains.

So after he knew about this, he did not choose to find Xu Yuliang, but went directly to find Sun Maocai.

His purpose was to put all the blame on Sun Maocai before Xu Yuliang made a statement, so that Sun Maocai would not be able to mobilize the entire team to put pressure on him.

Sun Maocai was indeed caught off guard by him and could only let him lead him by the nose.

After the commotion just now, basically everyone in the village knew that he quit his job because Sun Maocai interfered in the management of the apiary.

In this way, the villagers' anger will be directly vented on Sun Maocai, and they will not consider at all that this matter has been collectively agreed upon by the brigade.

Therefore, when Li Guoqiang heard Xu Yuliang say this, he immediately waved his hand and said confidently: "It's okay, I have already considered what you said, he won't have the guts to bring people to oppose me."

After all, who can resist money?

When Xu Yuliang saw Li Guoqiang like this, he didn't know how to persuade him for a moment, and could only give Xu Guanglu a look for help.
