Chapter 431: Spending money to avoid disaster and keep things peaceful
Chapter 431: Spending money to avoid disaster and keep things peaceful
After the two of them finished talking, they returned to the courtyard.
After Yi Zhonghai's emotions were relieved, he calmed down and took the initiative to admit his mistakes with a guilty look on his face:
"Fellow villagers, after the criticism and education from Village Chief Wang, I have come to realize my mistakes.
There was indeed a misunderstanding between Bao Qian and me, and I acted too rashly on impulse.
I also said some bad things in front of everyone, and I promise that this will never happen again.
In addition, in order to make up for my mistake, I am willing to compensate Bao Qian 100 yuan to reach a settlement.
Also, I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone, so I'll give you another 100 yuan as a token of my appreciation and apology."
When everyone heard this, they were all a little bit surprised and thought that the people in the city were really rich.
At the same time, they were all secretly delighted. They didn't expect that they could just watch the fun, beat someone up, and get money for it. Where can you find such a good thing?
At this time, everyone forgot to stand up for Bao the widow. It was a dirty business, so how could it compare to their own interests?
If a virgin was defiled by this old man, he would really kill her to vent his anger.
Village Chief Wang also chimed in, saying, "Master Yi is very sincere. He gave me all the thirty yuan he had on him, and he will send the rest as soon as possible.
After all, family disgrace should not be made public, so it is best to make a big deal out of a small matter, don’t you agree?”
Everyone responded, and even Aunt Lin’s family, who took the lead, were very satisfied.
She just learned from her eldest son that she had received the balance payment, and she didn't expect that she could get another chance to make a profit.
For a moment, the scene was somewhat harmonious.
Only Widow Bao felt sad, angry and uneasy. They didn't consider her opinion at all and didn't even ask a single question.
One hundred yuan in compensation is indeed a lot, and she is not a virgin, so there is no need for her to hold on to it and try to kill herself.
But Widow Bao was very afraid of being retaliated against. After what happened today, she had a deeper understanding of Yi Zhonghai and saw through the madness in his bones.
So she pleaded in a tearful voice, "Uncle, I... I'm scared!
What if something happens to the child in the future? I don't dare to ask for compensation!"
The old village chief frowned and scolded impatiently: "Women's opinions! What's there to be afraid of!
With so many people witnessing it, Wang Daming and the other three guys are from Wangjia Village after all. How could they be bullied?
With this 100 yuan compensation, your family will be rich for a long time. Why don’t you know what’s good for you?
And you two have no idea what’s going on!
If things really get out of hand, what good will you get? Pushing someone to death will only lead to retaliation, and that will only bring disaster upon yourself!"
Everyone tried to dissuade her, fearing that Widow Bao would be stubborn and ruin such a good plan.
Yi Zhonghai also struck while the iron was hot and assured: "Bao Qian, I was just saying this in anger.
After this matter is resolved, I promise not to set foot in Wangjia Village again. From now on, we will go our separate ways and pretend we have never met."
Yi Zhonghai suffered a major setback in this village, and he would definitely not be able to face anyone present in the future.
And he really had no intention of retaliating in a short period of time.
Because the person he wanted to take revenge on the most was the person who plotted against him behind the scenes.
What else could Widow Bao say? She could only agree, otherwise she would really become a public enemy.
She could only remind herself to keep a closer eye on her child in the future, otherwise she would regret it.
Yi Zhonghai finally got through this and limped away in embarrassment.
The onlookers were too lazy to look at him any more, and all looked at the old village chief expectantly.
Village Chief Wang snorted coldly, ignoring everyone's gazes. He took out the thirty yuan given by Yi Zhonghai, handed it to Widow Bao and instructed:
"Take this money first. He will have someone deliver the rest within two days and give it to you then."
Widow Bao took the money and said gratefully, "Okay, thank you, uncle."
Although she knew that the old village chief disliked her, she did not feel any resentment. At least the villagers had never rejected the three children, and that was enough.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Hey... Uncle, how do we divide the 100 yuan?
Is it everyone who sees it at the scene who gets a share, or is it based on how much effort you put in?"
Aunt Lin quickly chimed in: "Of course it's based on merit. The more you work, the more you get. I'm the one leading the charge today, so don't try to grab it."
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Wang angrily scolded, "Old Third, please calm down. I haven't held you accountable yet!
For such a small profit, they help outsiders and don't care about the reputation of our village at all!"
Aunt Lin wanted to refute, but was immediately pulled away by her husband. If she continued to talk, her family fortune would be exposed, so she decided to just keep quiet and make a fortune.
Village chief Wang shook his head, speechless. He had no way to deal with her cousin's sister-in-law.
But fortunately, they informed me in time, otherwise if they were too late, Yi Zhonghai might have been beaten to death.
He had some knowledge and knew that Yi Zhonghai was a seventh-level worker in a large factory and was considered a treasure.
Not to mention being beaten to death, anyone who is missing an arm and unable to work will be investigated thoroughly, and will be punished severely.
Village Chief Wang suppressed everyone's impetuous mood and said, "Don't even think about this 100 yuan. It will be used as public funds for the entire village.
Food is becoming increasingly scarce, so the village must store more. I will find a way to buy food and then distribute it to the people."
Everyone was a little unhappy. There were only about thirty or forty people at the scene, but the total number of people in the village, young and old, was more than two hundred. The gap was huge.
But no one dared to speak out in rebuttal. After all, no one was stupid and knew that opposition would be futile and would offend more than a hundred people who were not present.
After getting the result, everyone dispersed, leaving only the mess in the yard and the lonely widow Bao.
She rubbed her neck, still feeling the pain.
The feeling of fear rose again, and I was not happy at all about getting 100 yuan in compensation.
Widow Bao suddenly thought of her three children who had gone out to catch insects and had not returned yet, so she immediately hurried out to look for them.
I'm afraid she will have to be cautious and watchful for some time to come, because she doesn't believe Yi Zhonghai's guarantees at all.
