Chapter 2657: Chapter 2658: The Shackles of the Era

Lin Yi stood on tiptoe, looking out the window, and found a few children running into the distance.

Seeing this, the truth of the matter was already clear.

Crack!

Crash!

Just then, the window glass was smashed again.

Xiao Bing and Luo Qi dodged quickly, and the broken glass didn’t fall on them.

“Haha… there’s still one more piece, let’s see who can hit it accurately.”

A teenage boy said with a laugh.

Next to him were two other kids of the same age, picking up stones and aiming at the last intact piece of glass.

“Damn it!”

Xiao Bing’s temper flared up, and he shouted at the kids outside the window:

“I remember you all; destroying public property will get the police to arrest you in a little while!”

“Bleh bleh bleh, we’re not afraid, try calling the police to catch us!”

The teenage boy taunted, pulling faces and shaking his hips, clearly not taking Xiao Bing seriously.

“This is really too much,” Luo Qi said coldly.

Anyone with eyes could see it.

Not only the adults in the village, but even the children didn’t take Ma Biao seriously.

They thought he couldn’t do anything to them.

Subconsciously, Luo Qi looked at Ma Biao standing nearby.

He found his gaze empty, with no emotional fluctuations.

He even picked up a broom to start sweeping.

“It’s spilling in, hurry up…”

The matter of the broken window wasn’t resolved when voices came from outside.

The three exchanged glances, sensing something was wrong, and quickly retreated from the house.

They saw a small four-wheel vehicle parked outside Ma Biao’s wooden fence, loaded with sand and gravel, along with a lot of trash.

On the vehicle stood three middle-aged men holding shovels, tossing everything into Ma Biao’s small vegetable garden.

“Aren’t these people going too far? With this mess, how can his garden be planted?”

Luo Qi looked at Ma Biao again, but this time, his eyes were no longer empty and lost.

Two lines of old tears streamed down his weathered cheeks.

Luo Qi’s heart trembled, and she suddenly remembered that Ma Biao was even older than her grandfather.

Yet their circumstances were completely different.

This must not be the first time; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so indifferent.

He knew well that he couldn’t stop it.

“Damn it!”

Luo Qi cursed and reached towards her lower back.

“Cough cough…”

Lin Yi coughed lightly, stopping Luo Qi, who calmed down and walked straight out.

“What are you doing? Stop immediately!”

A middle-aged man who had a conflict with Ma Biao earlier stood on the vehicle, looking down at Luo Qi.

“Aren’t you being too nosy? We can do whatever we want, what does it have to do with you?”

The middle-aged man pointed at Luo Qi’s nose and cursed, “Get lost, or I’ll beat you too!”

“You can try.”

“Damn it, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!”

The middle-aged man shoveled a pile of sand and tossed it towards Luo Qi without a word.

Luo Qi moved quickly, having anticipated the middle-aged man’s action.

She stepped aside, dodging the flying sand and stone debris.

With one hand, she grabbed the sideboard of the four-wheel vehicle, and with a forceful push, Luo Qi agilely jumped onto the vehicle and kicked the middle-aged man’s lower back, knocking him off the vehicle!

“You bastard!”

Realizing something was wrong, the other two men didn’t hesitate and swung their fists at Luo Qi!

But they didn’t fare much better than the middle-aged man.

Both were kicked off the vehicle by Luo Qi, one after the other.

“Murder! Help!”

The wife of the middle-aged man cried out loudly, rolling on the ground as if she had suffered a great grievance.

“If you scream again, I’ll beat you too!”

The middle-aged woman was so scared she didn’t dare make a sound, and everyone present was intimidated by Luo Qi’s momentum.

At this moment, the middle-aged man stood up and walked over to Ma Biao.

“Ma Lao’er, you’ve got some nerve, calling for help now.”

“You’re bullying me too much,” Ma Biao said:

“Just because I didn’t lease the land to you, you’re vandalizing it. I’m so old, can’t I just live in peace?”

“You might as well die, I’ll tell you today, if your land…”

The middle-aged man’s words hadn’t finished when a scream erupted from his mouth.

The finger pointing at Ma Biao was grabbed by Lin Yi, causing such pain that the man’s face turned pale, his expression twisted, and even his body bent over.

“All the slogans on the streets tell you to respect the elderly and care for the young, are you blind or illiterate?”

“Pain, pain, pain…”

Ma Biao twisted his body, gnashing his teeth in pain.

Lin Yi swung his hand and threw him out!

Regaining his freedom, the middle-aged man quickly ran away.

“Restore their garden and glass to the way it was, or this won’t end.”

The middle-aged man didn’t speak, seemingly wanting to refuse but not daring to.

“I better do it myself,” Ma Biao said:

“He didn’t toss much, I can clean it up quickly, no need for them.”

Lin Yi looked at Ma Biao expressionlessly, his feelings incredibly complex.

Sorrow for his misfortune, anger at his inaction.

These are the shackles the times impose on people, and he has no way to break them.

The roaring sound came as the middle-aged man drove the four-wheel vehicle away in a rush.

But the villagers watching the scene remained.

“Lin Bro, I think we should call the police,” Luo Qi said.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and nodded, “People like them need to be taught a lesson; otherwise, something might happen.”

“You guys should save your energy.”

As Luo Qi was calling the police, they heard a middle-aged woman interjecting nearby.

“What do you mean, don’t the police even manage your village?” Luo Qi asked coldly.

“Of course they manage it.”

The middle-aged woman said while eating seeds:

“But the police will only detain them for a few days, then let them go. Ma Lao’er will still be bullied, and it will get worse. Unless you can always guard him, don’t count on anything else.”

Lin Yi and the others were silent.

A sense of helplessness spread in their hearts.

Even though he belonged to the Central Guards Brigade and had billions in wealth.

But some things were still beyond his reach.

“Lin Bro…” Xiao Bing called softly.

“Let’s get to work.”

Lin Yi sighed, “You two go measure the glass, go to the town and buy a few pieces back to install.”

“Bing Sis can handle that herself; I’ll stay and work with you.”

“Alright.”

With tasks assigned, they started working.

Luo Qi collected all the broken glass, and Lin Yi helped Ma Biao clean the sand and gravel from the garden.

It wasn’t until after seven in the evening that they finished.

“Th-thank you all…” Ma Biao said woodenly.
