Chapter 167 Who is wronged?
Liu Shangang stood up suddenly and said: "If my eldest son hadn't borrowed money from everywhere to get a letter of forgiveness, do you think our family of three would have been able to get out safely? Who is wronged?
If you hadn't come after my husband with the intention of harming him, would we have become the rats crossing the street in the village?
I swear to God, I didn't ask for a penny more. Three hundred yuan is to appease the anger of the Ge family, and two hundred yuan is for my son's leg treatment and tooth replacement. If you don't agree, then I, Liu Shangang, will lose my reputation and come to your door every day to block people and go to your workplace to make trouble. You can do whatever you want."
Ge Xiulan saw that Liu Shangang had almost finished speaking, and it was her turn to go on stage next.
He slapped his thigh and started howling: "Oh my God, I really can't live anymore."
Her shout made the brothers Chen Weidong and Chen Weiping, who had left earlier, break out in cold sweats. If they really made a scene here, their already ruined reputation would be exposed.
The two of them quickly ran into the main room: "Stop, stop, stop, let's discuss what's going on, don't make any more trouble."
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Ge Xiulan pretended to wipe away her tears and said, "You think I want to? Your mother has not only ruined my family's reputation, but also offended my husband's family and my own family. If you don't compensate me, no one will be happy."
Finally, the Chen family went out to borrow money. After running for more than three hours, they finally managed to collect 500 yuan.
Chen Jiefang called the people from the street neighborhood committee and two neighbors to act as middlemen, and asked Liu Shangang and Ge Xiulan to write a receipt stating that they had received the money. The feud between the two families was settled, and they were not allowed to come to claim compensation again.
Liu Shangang took the money and did not go home the same way, but took a detour to the road to the next commune.
Ge Xiulan looked puzzled and asked, "Dad, isn't this the way back to the commune?"
Liu Shangang quickened his pace: "The Chen family has found so many people to be the middlemen, what do you think they are up to?"
Ge Xiulan was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat: "Are you saying that Chen Jiefang did it on purpose?"
Liu Shangang didn't bother to answer his wife's questions, but was carefully identifying the direction.
Ge Xiulan was a little scared of the unfamiliar environment, so she took a few quick steps and took her man's arm: "Where are we going?"
Liu Shangang said unhappily, "Where else can we go? We'll have to take a detour back to the commune."
After taking this detour, by the time they returned to the commune clinic, the sky was already turning pale. The two returned to the clinic exhausted.
Liu Jiandong opened his eyes when they pushed the door open and said, "Dad, why did you come back just now?"
Liu Shangang's eyes were sore, and there happened to be an empty bed next to him: "I'll take a nap first, you stay alert and don't let anyone get close to me."
When Liu Jiandong saw his father's bulging pockets, he knew that he had made some money: "Okay, you two should close your eyes."
Perhaps feeling relieved after borrowing the money, Ge Xiulan followed and lay down, and the couple fell asleep in seconds.
When the doctor from the health center came to check on the couple in the morning, they were awakened by the call: "Just take care of your son at home. Try to give him more nutrition during this period to help him recover."
They were lucky enough. As soon as they went out of Liushangang, they encountered a mule cart that was picking up educated youth. They sat on it without caring whether there were any extra seats.
Fortunately, the car was big enough, so when the village chief and the educated youth came out, they could barely fit in, but they all had to carry their own belongings.
The village chief glanced at the people in the car, took out a handful of feed and fed it to the mule tied under the tree: "Thank you for your hard work today, old friend. Eat this handful of feed and we will set off."
