Chapter 18 Someone Must Be Left Outside
However, Zhang Dong's behavior also earned his utmost respect.
Father Zhang Yaoming walked over with a worried look on his face.
"Son, what do you want to do next?"
Zhang Dong pondered for a moment and made a decision: "Let's do this, we've already fought, let's just send them packing."
Upon hearing Zhang Dong tell them to get lost, these lackeys felt as if they had been granted a pardon and immediately tried to flee the place.
They were terrified just now, and now they all hate that their parents didn't give them two more legs.
"Wait a minute——"
Just as they were about to run away, Zhang Dong suddenly shouted.
The henchmen who were running around were so frightened that they all stopped in their tracks.
"What will happen to these two bastards if you leave? Take them with you."
Zhang Dong pointed at the big donkey on the ground and the tall man with a look of disgust.
Only then did these lackeys realize that Zhang Dong had stopped them because he wanted them to carry Big Donkey and the other man away, since their legs had been broken and they were unable to leave on their own.
Seeing that all of Wang Jianguo's lackeys had left, Zhang Dong's second uncle couldn't help but look worried.
"Dongzi, you saw what happened just now. It seems that Wang Jianguo, that bastard, really isn't a good-for-nothing."
“You broke his man’s leg, so he definitely won’t let it go. He’ll find a way to continue targeting us.”
Hearing his second uncle's concerns, Zhang Dong waved his hand dismissively.
"Don't worry, just because I'm afraid of crickets chirping doesn't mean I'll stop farming. I'll deal with whatever comes my way. If they really push me too far, I'll kill them."
Zhang Yaoming couldn't help but feel frightened: "Son, is this really necessary? If it's really not working out, let's give the mine back to him. Otherwise, how can we live like this, fighting and killing each other?"
Seeing his father make such a suggestion, Zhang Dong shook his head with a wry smile.
Given the current situation, if he and his father give up the mine, they will continue down the same old path for the rest of their lives, only to be bullied and trampled underfoot by bastards like Wang Jianguo. Their women will also be forced into prostitution, and they will never have a chance to rise above their circumstances. This is not the life he wants.
Having been reborn, even if it means fighting tooth and nail, I will carve out my own territory.
"Dad, you're thinking too simply. Even if I return the mine to him, do you think Wang Jianguo, with his kind of personality, will let us off easily?"
"It might embolden him and make him mistakenly believe that I am a coward."
Zhang Dong's uncle, standing to the side, nodded solemnly: "I feel that Dongzi is right, and that's indeed the case."
"Given the current situation, our feud with Wang Jianguo is now completely settled, and even if we return the favor to him now, it won't resolve this issue at all."
"Rather than that, we might as well fight to the bitter end and fight to the death. That way, we might be able to find a way out of this desperate situation and have a glimmer of hope."
Seeing that neither his son nor his brothers would listen to him, Zhang Yaoming sighed heavily.
The battle just now had terrified him, but fortunately, he finally managed to drive away the big donkey and his lackeys.
After speaking with his father, Zhang Dong began to check on the injuries of the migrant workers on their side.
At this moment, Da Niu laughed heartily: "Dongzi, don't bother looking. Our wounded here only took a couple of blows at most. We're all hard laborers, so we're tough and thick-skinned. It's nothing to worry about."
"Next, let's take a look at the relevant information about this mine."
Seeing that this was indeed the case, Zhang Dong nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go in and take a look at the relevant situation of this mine."
After saying this, Zhang Dong led the way toward a mine.
But Zhang Dong, who had only taken two steps, suddenly stopped.
His actions immediately attracted everyone's attention, after all, Zhang Dong was currently the center of everyone's attention.
Seeing his actions, his second uncle looked puzzled.
"What's wrong, Cave? Did you discover something unusual?"
Zhang Dong shook his head: "Second Uncle, don't worry, I'm fine."
"And who are you?" asked Li Cheng, a classmate standing next to him, with a puzzled look.
Zhang Dong smiled and said, "I don't think we should just go in like this."
Tang Dashan frowned: "Zhang Dong, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect that Wang Jianguo, that good-for-nothing, is in there setting us up with some kind of nonsense?"
Zhang Dong shook his head: "No, I'm worried that once we go in, someone will block the mine shaft and trap us. Anyway, we have to leave some people outside before we go in."
Tang Demin gave a wry smile: "It looks like a tunnel warfare operation."
The next second, Tang Demin's expression turned serious.
He realized that he had been careless in his words, which was extremely irresponsible, especially since they were facing Wang Jianguo, that insidious and vicious bastard.
"Dongzi, I feel that your idea is absolutely correct."
Seeing his future father-in-law turn around and support him, Zhang Dong smiled.
"Leave a few tough fighters outside. If the other side really sends people, the ones outside must hold them off."
Everyone sensed the seriousness of the matter, and no one laughed as before.
Zhang Dong's uncle stepped forward: "As for fighting, I think I'm alright. Dongzi, can I stay outside?"
Zhang Dong glanced at his uncle and nodded in satisfaction.
"Sure, but you can't manage on your own. You need at least six strong men outside."
At this moment, Da Niu volunteered: "Brother Zhang Dong, I'm not afraid of fighting, count me in."
Seeing Da Niu volunteer for the mission, Zhang Dong's good impression of him deepened even further.
This big shot should be given more important responsibilities in the future.
For no other reason than that he brought a team of men to work at his mine, and that alone made Zhang Dong look at him with new respect.
In addition, now that he has taken the initiative to step forward, it's clear that whoever stays outside doesn't necessarily have an easy and comfortable life.
Once Wang Jianguo sends troops again, whoever stays outside will be closest to the front lines of the battlefield, which carries a great risk.
Looking at Da Niu's physique, Zhang Dong chuckled.
“Brother Da Niu, we can leave you outside now, but once the mine opens, a mining expert like you can’t do this kind of work.”
Da Niu laughed loudly: "Do you think I want to be out there? I'm only standing guard because I'm afraid that bastard Wang Jianguo is so arrogant and he'll send more people over."
"Don't worry, once the mining starts, I, Da Niu, will be at the forefront."
"Mhm." Zhang Dong was extremely satisfied: "Brother Da Niu, you will have to lead a mining team and serve as the team leader."
