Those who didn't sincerely apologize received some form of psychological punishment. Anyway, nobody understood why, and those companies themselves didn't dare to tell anyone.

They must feel guilty for doing something wrong; that's probably what everyone in the village is guessing.

Finally, unable to endure the torment and suffering, those people chose to sincerely apologize, truly showing they dared not do it again!

How could I dare!

That's terrifying!

They didn't want to feel guilty and sleepless at night!

It was quite mild before, so I didn't take it to heart. Everyone has nightmares sometimes!

Besides, they had done something wrong, so they were already feeling guilty. It was quite normal for them to be like that late at night. That's how they comforted themselves!

But last night was absolutely terrifying!

They're still trembling with fear!

I'd rather sincerely repent and apologize properly than see that horrible thing again tonight!

It's true what they say, "If you have nothing to hide, you won't be afraid of being knocked on the door in the middle of the night!"

The villagers have always been superstitious, and they felt that those people must have been insincere and offended some deity. So, somehow, the topic of being a good person started to spread!

Not to mention the villagers, even the village chief thinks that way!

You mustn't do bad things!

Otherwise, the inner torment would be unbearable; it would be torture to death!

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he could guess what it was roughly!

It's still necessary to have a sense of awe!

Didn't you see? Everyone who wasn't sincere was exposed!

The more perfunctory the apology, the more severely it will be punished!

After sincerely apologizing, they didn't say anything else!

snort!

They still say it's not like that!

That was the end of it, and from then on, very few people dared to have any bad intentions!

Because these stories have been circulated in an almost mystical manner, countless versions have been passed down, but without exception, they have all been shrouded in mystery.

Humans have an instinctive fear of things they can't see, and when this is spread, it does have a deterrent effect to some extent!

The village chief didn't stop it; in fact, he was happy to see it happen. No matter how many times he said it, it was no use. People's hearts need something more powerful to keep them in check!

Encouraging everyone to do good and not do bad things is a good thing in itself!

When Zhou's grandson heard this, he was terrified. He felt that his apology was not sincere enough and wanted to apologize again!

Aunt Zhou stopped them, saying, "The Mo family has already forgiven you, why do you need to go again? Going again would be superfluous, and it would let everyone know that you are scared and guilty! You apologized sincerely back then, what will people say about you if you go again? What are you afraid of? None of those things happened to you, which means you are truly remorseful! Just continue to do well, there is absolutely no need to go again. If you anger the Mo family, it will be even worse!"

The two grandsons thought about it and realized that it made sense. If they weren't sincere, they would have come to them long ago!

I didn't go in the end, but I was still worried and kept a close eye on things.

They were only truly relieved when the matter was resolved and no similar incidents occurred again.

Aunt Zhou was also very anxious. She said she wouldn't, but she was still quite scared inside!

Who knows if they'll come looking for us!

Not knowing when he'd be held accountable, he's become much more restrained and no longer as arrogant as before.

The whole family listened to the version of events circulating outside every day, which was agonizing and mentally tormenting. As a result, they became much more tolerant and gentle.

I've also gradually learned how to get along with people, to consider others more, and to not dare to have bad intentions.

After some time, the buyers said that given their recent good performance, they could consider repurchasing their crops.

This delighted Aunt Zhou's family; could it be considered a blessing in disguise?

However, the acquirer was still quite blunt in pouring cold water on their plans, saying that if they went back to their old ways, they would still be disqualified.

"No, no! We won't do it again. We'll definitely behave and do things properly! Thank you, manager!"

Aunt Zhou led the way, saying that they were very grateful to the person in charge for giving them a chance.

They also knew that this opportunity was very rare, and if they were disqualified again, they might never have another chance!

Who would want someone who's moody and unpredictable?

Therefore, they must make the most of this opportunity!

You must suppress your temper as much as possible, treat others kindly, avoid being sarcastic or mean, and never insult others casually!

Whether their family can turn their fortunes around depends on their performance; success or failure hinges on this moment!

Everyone in Aunt Zhou's family was overjoyed. They immediately held a family meeting upon returning home to discuss what to do next.

This is a critical time for survival. Disaster is imminent, and their family has not made any proper preparations. They are already behind many other families. They can't continue like this, or they might not even be able to survive!

This is the opportunity that God has given them. They can't be lazy. They have to work hard and earn more money. With money, you can go anywhere in the world. Without money, you can't even take a step!

Having money makes you feel secure!

Believe it or not, even Aunt Zhou herself has changed. She probably has something to look forward to now, and she's motivated and working with a lot of energy!

If anyone asks, she'll probably say, "I don't want to die! Do you think someone will help us if we don't fight for our lives?"

She knew very well that if something big happened, everyone would be too busy taking care of themselves to care about others. If her family relied on others, they probably wouldn't survive!

Su Nanxi saw how hard the Zhou family was working, but she didn't say anything and just glanced at them before moving on.

Just know what you're supposed to do!

The opportunity has been given; whether they can seize it is their problem.

Just like Cao Erdan, he was treated well. What kind of life he lived was his own business!

Su Nanxi didn't think much of Cao Erdan because he had a clueless mother and a weakness that his mother could manipulate!

Besides, Cao Erdan was still a child, how could he be a match for Cao Sanniang, who had experienced the harsh realities of society? Moreover, his opponent was his own mother, the one being suppressed, so it was only a matter of time before she was defeated.

I heard that Cao Erdan paid off part of the bill for some reason and gave some money to his mother, but I didn't see Cao San Niang buy anything. She didn't even buy a single piece of meat to cook!

The reason why Cao San Niang got the money so easily was because she said that her sister was very weak, had no energy, and looked pale, and needed to be nourished. That's why Cao Erdan was so quick and eager to settle the money and give her some of it!

But they didn't buy any meat, and they made excuses and kept putting it off!

Cao Erdan bought some for himself later. He wanted to eat some too, so he bought a little more and spent a lot of money. He left the meat at home and went out to pick flowers.

When he came back for dinner, there was only a plate of vegetables, and not a single piece of meat in sight!

Cao San Niang denied that there was meat in the house, and Cao Er Dan searched the whole house but couldn't find it. He even wondered if he was hallucinating!

"Mom just went to my maternal grandparents' house!"
