Liu Tao and his companions were stunned for a good while before they burst out laughing at the absurdity of the Shuishun Village villagers.
"I can't stop laughing, you poison our fields, get caught red-handed, and now you expect us to give you money for your troubles?"
"Just demanding ten thousand yuan like that, why don't you go rob somebody?"
"Don't take our kindness for weakness, scram before we stop playing nice!"
Amidst the cursing, several Shunshui Village villagers simply sat down on the ground, taking an adamant stance that they weren't going anywhere.
"Look at these assholes, Zhang Brother. You let them off the hook out of the kindness of your heart, and now they have the nerve to shake you down for money!"
Liu Tao was fuming as he spoke to Zhang Xiaowei; if it hadn't been for Zhang's previous instructions to avoid trouble at all costs, Liu Tao would have already thrown punches.
