Chen Shuning wasn't sure whether to call herself lucky or unlucky.
Her misfortune was that, having had a stable job and a prosperous life, she lost her life in a fire at a newly opened la...
She glared angrily at Li Li and her daughter, who thought they were clever but were actually incredibly stupid.
When he turned to look at Yang Wanqiu, he had already put on a kind and gentle expression and said, "Yang Zhiqing, you see, this is just a misunderstanding. You don't have anything else to do, so how about we have Zhao Di and her daughter apologize to you?"
Looking at the brigade leader who had a kind face but whose words were all in favor of Shen Zhaodi and her daughter, Yang Wanqiu sneered inwardly.
However, he pretended to be aggrieved and pointed to the bag of sorghum rice that had been spilled on the ground, saying, "Captain, you know that I only received this much grain and so much of it was spilled."
And this is precisely the time to stock up on firewood for winter, but look how badly they beat me! My arm aches so much now that I can't go up the mountain to gather firewood.”
Although Yang Wanqiu didn't finish her sentence, Shen Baogen understood that Yang Wanqiu was asking for compensation.
To be honest, Shen Baogen also felt that although it was understandable for Li Li and her daughter to hit someone, it was not advisable.
So after thinking for a moment, he spoke up. However, this time Shen Baogen did not speak to Yang Wanqiu, but instead said to Li Li: "What Yang Zhiqing said makes sense. Dazhu's wife, no matter what, it was wrong for you and Zhaodi to hit people. I think you should compensate Yang Zhiqing with twenty catties of grain and ten bundles of firewood."
In Shen Baogen's opinion, although Yang Wanqiu's grain had been spilled on the ground, it was still edible if picked up, and twenty catties of grain was not a small amount.
Adding ten bundles of firewood would be enough.
As for the Shen family, if they were diligent, they could gather ten bundles of firewood in just two days.
With three daughters to help out, twenty catties of grain was nothing to the Shen family.
Therefore, he proposed the terms for this compensation.
Others may not know, but Yang Wanqiu herself knows that although her injury hurts, it is not to the point that she cannot go up the mountain. What she just said was a bit of an exaggeration.
Therefore, Yang Wanqiu was satisfied with Shen Baogen's suggestion.
Yang Wanqiu was satisfied, but Li Li was not happy. She had been looking for an opportunity to teach Yang Wanqiu a lesson.
Another point is that she also felt that her own brat had been stealing things from her family to help Yang Wanqiu out of the house.
Therefore, she definitely wouldn't be willing to bring out anything to compensate Yang Wanqiu.
However, Li Li dared not challenge Shen Baogen, and instead turned her attention to Yang Wanqiu.
"You little slut, stop pretending to be pitiful. If anyone's injured, it's me and Zhaodi. If anyone's going to pay compensation, it's us. Don't think I don't know. My Dabao has been stealing things from home and sending them to you, you little slut."
Faced with Li Li's constant use of the term "little bitch," Yang Wanqiu became less polite to the brigade leader.
Yang Wanqiu rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "So you know Shen Wenge stole the stuff? Then go ahead and report it to the police. Anyway, I didn't take it. If you don't compensate me for the stuff today, fine, then I'll go to the town and report it to the police. Let's see if they'll do anything about you beating people without cause?"
Wang Xiangjun, who had been hiding in the background, did not want to stand out, but now he saw that Yang, the educated youth, was not a good person either, and his wife and mother-in-law were indeed in the wrong.
So he hurried over and, with a benevolent air, said to Yang Wanqiu, "Yang, we were indeed in the wrong today. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother and Zhaodi. You are a knowledgeable and cultured young person, so please don't take it to heart, okay?"
"Don't worry, I'll deliver the things to you as the team leader instructed, okay?"
Yang Wanqiu naturally wouldn't make things difficult for the team leader and accountant at this time. Since Accountant Wang had said so, she couldn't continue to make trouble.
So he quickly put on a wry smile and said, "Accountant Wang, look at this, I got beaten up for no reason... Sigh, I'll do whatever you say."
The rest was easy. With Accountant Wang's assurance, Yang Wanqiu first said a few polite words, and then squatted down with a wronged expression to pick up the grain on the ground.
Food was precious in this era, so Yang Wanqiu would never throw it away just because of a little sand.
Then the brigade leader found someone to help Yang Wanqiu deliver the grain back to the educated youth settlement, and the farce came to an abrupt end.
