Chapter 483: Chapter 178: How to Conclude_1

The village had been in chaos for half the day, enough to scare away not just eagles, but even tigers if present. But today’s eagles were peculiar, they showed no fear, circling in the sky and not moving along.

If they won’t move, be it, but they swooped low from time to time, causing chickens, ducks, and geese to scatter and hide in terror. Sure, they’d seen eagles before, but never as audacious as these ones!

Not only were they bold, but also huge, with wings that stretched out more than two meters, probably capable of snatching up a lamb with zero issues.

Those who knew the situation could tell they were the Golden Eagles which Yan Fei had reared. As for the tiny black speck higher in the sky, no one could see it clearly or know what it was. These two Golden Eagles were somewhat repressed as their fame is always overshadowed by tigers, hence not many people knew about them.

At least the people of Houfang Village didn’t immediately think of Yan Fei. Someone suggested calling the police officers to fire a couple of gunshots to scare these eagles away.

Lin Baoguo responded, "We came to resolve the conflict, if we brought guns, what would you all think of that? Moreover, even if we had a gun, how far could a small pistol shoot? It wouldn’t reach them anyway!"

Old Pan took the opportunity to educate everyone about the Wildlife Protection Law: "These are protected animals; we can’t harm them. Only if they hurt humans can we interfere. Otherwise, indiscriminately killing protected wild animals is a criminal offense."

Finally, someone figured out that the locals didn’t have these so-called golden eagles, so where did they come from? A quick correlation, coupled with collective village wit and various gossips, they finally concluded these golden eagles were pets.

But how can they handle this now?!

Facing a real villain here.

This whole time, the tales about Boss Yan the cattle rancher, that spread outside were all positive. Stories such as him catching thieves to help locals find their cattle, securing local safety, selling medicinal wine to treat illnesses and so on.

As a result, people thought the relatively young Boss Yan, who they heard of in these tales, was a good guy. Good people are indeed respectable, but the opportunists can’t help but ponder, are good people easy to bully as well? Even if they can’t be bullied easily, since he is a good person, he should not do anything to me after I jeopardize his interests, right?

It turns out, assumptions are quite biased. Maybe he’s not a bad guy, but he is certainly not an absolute good guy. Moreover, once you provoke him, he becomes downright villainous!

The tiger and bear had barely gone by on the ground before the golden eagles flew overhead from the sky - who knows what follows after this last one?

If they’d known what kind of man Yan was earlier, the villagers would have been more careful not to provoke him - misinformation can truly be deadly!

People were still advocating legal knowledge during this chaos – whether it’s the eagles or black bears and tigers, they were all under legal protection. Under the premise of not harming people, they should not be killed at will.

The villagers had initially thought that the moment the officials arrived early in the morning, they’d assumed that they were intimidated and thus had the upper hand. However, the tiger’s uproar issue was not yet resolved, and the eagles appeared, causing the villagers to lose their cool.

So much so that they no longer cared about the beef dish, their basic demand turned into hoping for such incidents to cease - how can they live normally if the village is plagued by roars and screeches every day?

The officials also couldn’t guarantee the villagers’ demands and could only suggest coordination.

The initial dispute was started by you guys, and now you’ve angered him and are asking us to assure the incident won’t occur again - saying it sounds easy enough.

We also want to put an end to this, everyone will be better off with peace, right? But you have forgotten, the other party also has temper, what can we do if they come up with any reason to cause mischief?!

The villagers didn’t believe it: You are the leaders! No matter how rich he is, he still has to listen to you, right? Indeed, that’s what they initially thought. Why else would they think that as long as they made some noise, they would get benefits? Being poor makes one tough, and those barefooted are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The affluent ones are afraid of being deliberately made things difficult by the locals, so they should not be too aggressive, right?

A young police officer scoffed: Why should he need to fear us when you guys are fearless? Even if we lived here, we would not be able to control the eagles in the sky, would we?

Someone tried to mediate: Let’s go back and try to coordinate! The cause of the conflict is simple. Without resolving the fundamental issue, whatever we say is pointless. First, decide whether you still want these cattle or not?

Some people in the village were still not satisfied. What about the incident regarding our previous poverty alleviation funds?

If you are still holding onto the issue of the poverty alleviation funds, then there’s really no way for us to help. That was a matter that was dealt with by the previous leadership. On top of that, it happened for a reason. We have never even tried to evade responsibility. You all have been benefiting from this excuse every time goods are distributed and have been using it for several years. You have taken quite a few benefits off of it. Isn’t it time you let it go?

Then we will go and find a way to lodge a complaint. There must be a place where we can reason it out.

Mayor Chen immediately stood up: Then you go ahead and file your complaints! We came here early in the morning with the intention of resolving contradictions. Now, you are being relentless and I believe we have done what we could. Let’s go!

At this point, the roles of host and guest between the two parties had completely reversed.

Would the villagers dare to just let these town officials go away?

Yes, you could go and lodge a complaint. Let’s not talk about how the authorities will deal with it for now. Looking at the current temperament exhibited by that man named Yan, if provoked, he will directly send a tiger and eagle to deal with it— considering his temper, who would you expect to reap benefits from him? There would certainly be no chance for it.

Besides, while you’re off filing a complaint, there would be tigers running across the grounds and golden eagles flying in the sky in the village. How can the old and young villagers continue their lives in such a situation? Even if you win the complaint, by the time you return, who knows what the village would look like— not to mention, winning the case is not even guaranteed!

In any case, if the discussion was to continue, the villagers would stop bringing up the matter of poverty alleviation funds—this meant that they had fully given up on the idea of having a share in the benefits.

If that’s the case, then they would only have the basic request left— Let us live in peace.

At this moment, all eyes turned towards Lin Baoguo and Old Pan. Everyone knew that only these two may still have a chance at resolving things with Yan Fei, no one else had that sort of relationship with him. After all, it was not a strict order. What if he decides to say: ’Why don’t you take the tigers back and feed them yourself?’

The village would really fear such a move from Yan Fei. If they had the extra money to do so, who would willingly engage in such a degrading task?!

Lin Baoguo and Old Pan looked at each other. Old Pan said, "We will talk about this when we get back."

The golden eagle in the sky continued to fly, but nobody had a solution. Without a person in sight, who could possibly come up with a solution?

Things definitely wouldn’t end here, everyone felt heavy in their hearts.

Upon leaving the village, Old Pan asked, "How did it go? Did you observe any results?"

Lin Baoguo nodded, "It’s probably the guy wearing glasses."

Some people nearby were confused by their conversation. Old Pan chuckled and explained, "We’re discussing who was stirring up trouble yesterday, blocking the door. If it hadn’t been for Xiao Fei causing a commotion today, we wouldn’t have been able to pin down the person. He kept sitting on the tractor and didn’t show himself yesterday. If it hadn’t been for his distinctive dress and glasses, I wouldn’t have paid much attention to him."

"Then why didn’t you arrest him?" asked someone from the side.

"The situation was not suitable for arresting people just now, we will investigate further when we get back, he can’t run away."

"Exactly, if you want to stir up trouble, then do it! But when it’s over, you have to eat and drink like normal, it doesn’t work that way."

"From our understanding of Comrade Yan, it’s not going to be that easy to handle this. Now that he’s started, he definitely won’t be able to let go of this with just a few words. Besides, he disappeared last night. We sent people to look for him but couldn’t find him."

As a result, everyone became even more dispirited! They felt even more frustrated towards the village behind them. You villagers dare to cause trouble, but can’t even think of a way to get out of the mess? Is all you intend to do to provoke and run, scooping up benefits when they’re available, and escaping when they’re not? What kind of people are these?!
