Chapter 8 Getting Compensation

Chu Xuan was well prepared, and his first target was Qiu Daguang.

Throw the kitchen knife in your hand.

The knife flew past Qiu Daguang and stabbed steadily into the wall.

Chu Xuan had practiced this move in her previous life when she was bored at her husband's house.

Qiu Daguang was so frightened that he peed himself on the spot. He leaned against the wall, his legs shaking, and muttered, "Almost, almost..."

He was killed.

Chu Zhi ran for his life and happened to meet Wang Depin, Chu Feng and two staff members on duty who were rushing towards him with flashlights.

At this moment, Gao Meijuan and others also ran out to catch the thief.

After several flashlights were shone, Chu Zhi and Qiu Daguang could not escape.

Qiu Daguang's mind raced, and as he struggled to maintain his balance, he spoke first. "Chu Zhi and I caught a king mackerel from the sea. We were planning to come to the village chief to coordinate a tractor to take us to the county town to sell it. We're not thieves."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan tried hard to hold back his laughter. This was the same excuse he had come up with in his previous life.

However, the only change is that Chu Zhi went from arresting Qiu Daguang to becoming an accomplice.

Chu Zhi instantly gained confidence and agreed, "Yes, the big mackerel in this sack was caught from the sea by Qiu Daguang and me. It's not the one Chu Xuan picked up. This one is lighter than hers."

As he spoke, he moved closer to the sack and tried to carry it away.

Stopped by the Wang family.

Chu Zhi didn't dare to do anything to the Wang family, but he dared to bully Chu Xuan and his brother, "Chu Xuan, Chu Feng, are you two blind? Don't you know to come and help me? We are family!"

Chu Feng had been scared by Chu Zhi's beating before, so when he heard this, he couldn't help but step back and try to escape.

Chu Xuan scratched his ear gently. "Chu Zhi, what did you say? I remember you insisted on breaking off the engagement yesterday afternoon. Could it be that you changed your mind and want to help me pay off my debts?"

Chu Zhi pretended to be generous and said, "As long as you two admit that your mackerel is not lost, and you pay off your debt, I can consider renewing this marriage."

I thought Chu Xuan and his sister were still as easy to control as before.

The people around couldn't help but denounce, "Chu Zhi, you are so shameless!"

Chu Xuan was too lazy to waste time talking to him. "A broken relationship is a broken relationship. How can it be reconnected? Xiao Feng and I won't lie for you! I saw you and Qiu Daguang stealing my big mackerel slices with my own eyes. I followed you here quietly. I didn't expect you to even dare to steal from the village chief's house!"

Chu Zhi raised his hand to hit Chu Xuan, but was held down by the Wang family.

Howling, "Let me go! Let me go! I didn't steal!"

Qiu Daguang ignored the stench of urine and argued, "Chu Xuan, you said Chu Zhi and I stole your mackerel. Besides you, who else saw it? Are there any witnesses?"

Chu Xuan looked relaxed, "There are no witnesses."

Qiu Daguang was now arrogant, his legs no longer weak, and he walked to the sack with a proud step, "Since there are no witnesses, there is no way to prove that this fish is yours! This is what Chu Zhi and I caught from the sea."

Gao Meijuan, who had been silent the whole time, kicked Qiu Daguang and said, "Aren't you lying with your eyes wide open? Many people in the village have seen the king mackerel that Chu Xuan picked up, but no one saw you and Chu Zhi go fishing in the sea!"

Qiu Daguang was kicked aside and failed to get the sack containing the fish.

Wang Depin's face was serious. "Qiu Daguang, your ability to confuse right and wrong is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people. As the village chief, I'm not afraid of losing face. Just report the case! Let the professionals come and investigate."

Qiu Daguang was fearless. "No matter who comes to judge, I will say the same thing! I'm also going to sue Chu Xuan for stabbing someone! We don't know who will go to jail then!"

Chu Xuan sneered, "How did I hurt you? I was just catching a thief and it was too dark so my hand slipped."

Everyone said, "Yes, it was a slip of the hand."

All support reporting the case.

Chu Xuan whispered something to Gao Meijuan, and Gao Meijuan nodded calmly.

Half an hour later, the town's security officer on duty arrived on a bicycle.

Qiu Daguang and Chu Zhi still said the same thing as before, insisting that the fish was caught from the sea, and after killing the fish, they pickled it with salt and prepared to sell it in the county town, so they went to the village chief's house to coordinate a tractor.

Chu Xuan's lips curled up slightly. "Although I don't have any witnesses, I have evidence that the fish in the sack is mine."

Qiu Daguang and Chu Zhi looked at each other and suddenly felt unsure.

Chu Zhi stammered, "Chu Xuan, what evidence do you have?"

Chu Xuan pointed at the sack and said to the security officer, "There's a note in my mackerel's mouth. It says 'Chu Xuan's Mackerel King'."

Sure enough, the security personnel found a note in the fish's mouth, and the content matched.

Now Qiu Daguang and Chu Zhi are going to be arrested.

At this time, Qi Hong hurried over. Knowing that her family was in the wrong, she just wanted her husband not to be arrested. She still relied on him to support the family in the future. "We will compensate! We are from the same village and see each other every day. Chu Xuan, and Auntie Village Chief, please don't bother with my man, okay?"

Generally, when something like this happens in the village, the security personnel will respect the victim's opinion.

Chu Xuan's face was cold. "Chu Zhi and Qiu Daguang stuffed this fish into a sack that had been used to hold manure. Grandma Gao and I find it so dirty that we can't eat it. If each of them compensates Grandma Gao and me 100 yuan, I'll agree to settle this privately."

Gao Meijuan spoke at the right time, "That's right. After I gave her the compensation, I agreed to settle it privately."

Qi Hong took out a wad of money from her pocket without hesitation, a total of one hundred yuan, and carefully placed it in Gao Meijuan's hand, "Thank you and Chu Xuan for your magnanimity."

Gao Meijuan took it but didn't give it to Chu Xuan directly. Chu Xuan had just reminded her specifically to put the money with her first.

"Wait for Chu Zhi's 100 yuan compensation to arrive, and then you two can take the fish away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Chunhua and Chu Dashan ran over cursing.

Feng Chunhua was especially shameless, saying, "What's wrong with my son taking my niece's fish? That's called taking, not stealing! This is our Chu family's business. The compensation to the enemy has been paid, so everyone should go away!"

Chu Xuan knew Feng Chunhua was shameless. He took out the letter of severance from his pocket and handed it to the security officer. "Please look, this is the letter of severance. Besides, he not only robbed my family, but also the village chief's family."

Feng Chunhua's eyes were like knives, and she wished she could skin Chu Xuan alive.

The security officer looked at it with the help of a flashlight and then returned it to Chu Xuan.

"Chu Zhi, your family refuses to pay, and the victim refuses to settle privately. If they want to sue you, then I can only take you to the town and lock you up."

Chu Zhi was scared now, "Mom and Dad, save me! Let's pay compensation! Hurry and get the money!"

It’s hard to get married if you have a criminal record.

Feng Chunhua raised her hand and wanted to slap Chu Xuan, but was stopped by the security personnel.

He secretly cursed his son for being kicked in the head by a donkey. It would have been fine if he had just stolen from Chu Xuan's house, but he actually stole from the village chief's house!

In the end, he had no choice but to go home to get the money and pay a hundred yuan in compensation in front of the security personnel.

Gao Meijuan still accepted it.

As for the mackerel in the sack, Qiu Daguang and Chu Zhi took it away.

After the crowd dispersed, Gao Meijuan took Chu Xuan's hand and walked into her main hall. She placed two hundred yuan in her hand and said kindly, "Xiao Xuan, keep it! If Feng Chunhua comes to ask you for money the next day, tell her to come to me directly!"
