Chapter 18
"After all, Mianmian will go to school next spring. What if their children are also in school and they continue to bully Mianmian together? Can anyone of you guarantee that after this incident, they will never bully my daughter again?"
In the silence, Yun Jin looked at the village chief, straightened his back and said coldly: "This is my only request. If you can do it, just pretend nothing happened yesterday. If you can't do it, then you can tie me up and beat me to death, otherwise I, Yun Jin, will crawl to the police station."
"..." The village chief was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhao Guangcheng with a complicated expression: "Xiao Jin has made a request, what do you think?"
"Promise!" Zhao Hongnian's wife said impatiently, "We agree, but we can't go to school. Anyway, the two kids don't learn anything in school every day. I think it's a waste of money. What's the point of studying? It's better to send them out early to learn a skill to make money!"
Zhao Hongnian used a lot of strength to hold his wife back. He hurriedly said, "Wait, don't listen to her. Let's discuss it again. Is there no room for this matter?"
He looked at Yun Jin, but the latter kept his eyes down, as if refusing to communicate.
"It's such a big matter as my child's education..." Zhao Guangcheng also frowned and looked at the village chief in embarrassment, wanting him to help speak up again.
But the village chief had already been biased against his will once before. If he did it again, Yun Jin would be very disappointed. It would not do him any good if he made a big fuss at that time.
Therefore, the village chief did not speak. Seeing that the village chief did not speak, the other village cadres also sat there as if it had nothing to do with them, waiting for Zhao Guangcheng's family to come up with a result.
"Boss, just agree to it. It's just that he doesn't want to study, right? He Kaijin read a lot of books, but in the end he was sent down to our village to be a teacher. What's the point of studying?" Zhao Guangcheng's wife and eldest daughter-in-law had the same idea. They didn't understand why the two men didn't agree quickly. After all, it didn't matter and it didn't cost them a thing. It was better than letting their grandson be shot or eat in jail, right?
"What do you know?" Zhao Guangcheng took a deep puff of the pipe, his annoyance showing on his face.
After thinking for a moment, he scolded his son in a cold voice: "No matter what, you must educate your two bastard sons when you go back. This time they almost poked a hole in the sky! If they cause any trouble in the future, I'm afraid our whole family will be buried with them!"
A man in his 60s was scolded by his own father. Zhao Hongnian looked gloomy. "Dad, the key now is whether to agree to Yun Jin's request. This woman is too vicious. She wants my Zhao family to never stand up straight again!"
From ancient times to the present, the affairs of scholars are always a big deal. If a family can produce a promising scholar, it is a matter of setting up an ancestral hall and holding a banquet to bring honor to the family.
But Yunjin insisted that the four boys in the family were not allowed to go to school, which was simply severing the roots of the next generation of the Zhao family!
It has to be said that her mind was so vicious that even Zhao Hongnian, a man, felt a chill in his heart.
The other party's soft character that was easy to bully and easy to talk to in the past was completely reversed. In just a few words, Zhao Hongnian looked at Yun Jin as if he was looking at a poisonous snake.
However, Yun Jin didn't care what they thought of her. She sat beside her daughter's bed and thought about it all night last night. In the silent and cold night, she only thought about two possibilities in her mind.
The first possibility is that the daughter is unfortunate and will never wake up again. In that case, Yun Jin will do as she said just now. Even if her legs are broken, she will crawl to the county public security bureau to report the case.
If the Public Security Bureau does not sentence those four little bastards to death, Yun Jin will spend the rest of her life doing only one thing, which is to kill them to avenge her daughter, and then commit suicide after killing them.
The second possibility is that her daughter wakes up. This possibility becomes a reality in the second half of the night, so Yun Jin uses all the time in the second half of the night to think about how to make Zhao Guangcheng's family, especially the four Zhao Yunhai brothers, pay a heavy enough price for this.
Yunjin was very aware of her disadvantages in Zhaojiagou. Even if she wanted to report the case to the police and have Zhao Yuntao and three others arrested and imprisoned or shot, she had to consider her daughter's future situation.
Mianmian is only five years old now and will be able to go to the village primary school next spring. If Yunjin insists on reporting the case, it will be tantamount to offending the entire Zhaojiagou and even the brigade cadres who are in charge of Zhaojiagou. Not only will Mianmian not be able to go to school, but the situation of the mother and daughter will probably be more difficult than before.
Yun Jin was willing to risk her life for her daughter, and was also willing to spend all her efforts to create a relatively comfortable environment for her daughter. Now, with only one option left, she has done her best.
The four grandsons of the Zhao family were abolished, but some leeway was left for them.
When Zhao Guangcheng's family was in a tangled dilemma and Zhao Hongnian wanted to use the same old trick to let the village chief put pressure on Yun Jin, Yun Jin hid her clenched hands in her sleeves, restrained the hatred in her heart, and whispered: "Uncle Guangcheng, I have chosen to give in for the sake of Uncle Guangping and everyone in Zhaojiagou. I just want your children to stop studying in Zhaojiagou Primary School for the sake of Mianmian's future safety. I didn't stop them from going to other primary schools. Isn't this enough? How far do you want to push us, an orphan and a widow, to be satisfied?"
It seemed that because of their family's hesitant attitude, Yun Jin's emotions, which had just calmed down, fluctuated violently again. Her eyes were filled with red bloodshot and tears as she stared at the Zhao family hatefully. Her questioning in a crying voice became more and more sharp.
Seeing that her emotions were about to break down again, the villagers outside the office became dissatisfied and helped to condemn Zhao Guangcheng and his son.
"Uncle Zhao, I'm not saying anything bad about you, I just can't stand it anymore. Yesterday, your Yunhai Yuntao beat Mianmian up like that, and just now you said you would pay the compensation and be polite. But now you don't want to agree to such a small request? Isn't this pure bullying?"
"Yes, Brother Hongnian, you used to be a reasonable person. Why are you so confused today? Yunjin has already made so many concessions and suffered a great injustice. How can you force her? Although her last name is not Zhao, she is also from Zhaojiagou. Mianmian is a child we watched grow up. Your family shouldn't be too harsh, right?"
"If it were you, you should just agree to it right away. Yunhai and Yuntao are causing trouble at school every day. My kid has been bullied by them. I heard his grades aren't that good either. It probably doesn't matter whether he continues to study or not. Sister Yunjin has already given him such a big step. We are all watching. Guangcheng, don't go too far."
"Who said it wasn't true? Mianmian has really committed a terrible crime this time. Your family..."
“…………”
The crowd outside the door was talking to each other, and as the biased words became more and more, the faces of Zhao Guangcheng's family became more and more ugly.
Yun Jin admired the changes in their facial expressions. The corners of his lips raised slightly, and if you looked closely, you could read a hint of satisfaction.
Just a dozen minutes ago, they mobilized the villagers to force her, and now it is coming back upon them double.
Yun Jin has been able to live peacefully with her daughter in Zhaojiagou for so many years. If she didn't have some survival wisdom and means, she would have been gossiped about behind her back by those gossipy women in the village.
Zhao Guangcheng, who was targeted, had been in Zhaojiagou all his life. When had he ever faced such an embarrassing situation where thousands of people pointed fingers at him? He couldn't even smoke the tobacco in his hand. With hidden anger, he stopped his son and daughter-in-law from arguing pointlessly. After looking at Yun Jin sitting on the stool, he coughed and said in a heavy voice: "Okay, we agree to your conditions. When we go back, we will let the two children drop out of school. The two little ones will never study in Zhaojiagou Primary School in the future. Are you satisfied with this?"
Yun Jin moved her gaze to him and smiled slightly: "Since it's settled, let's talk about the compensation. I also want to know how much money is needed to compensate for the five lives of my daughter and your child."
Zhao Guangcheng: “…”
The system quietly acted as a spectator for the whole morning. It first witnessed the host mother leading the villagers and village cadres to force Zhao Yuntao's four children to lose the opportunity to study in Zhaojiagou Primary School. Then it witnessed her raising the minimum compensation price with a few words, and using the fact that Yunmian injured her head and bones and needed to eat well as a bargaining chip, it forced Zhao Guangcheng's family to pay a full 100 yuan plus all the chickens and ducks, and even squeezed out the twenty or so eggs in the Zhao family's cabinet.
But this is not the end...
Finally, Yunjin started the topic by saying, "Since your child isn't going to school anymore, why don't you take care of Mianmian and sell me Yuntao's textbooks, school bags and stationery at a low price?" With just a few words, she inspired the villagers to "help others with their kindness" and they demanded all the textbooks and school supplies for first and second grades without spending a penny.
What shocked the system the most was that Yun Jin had been fleeced so much that Zhao Guangcheng's family was almost at odds with each other, and the villagers, including the village chief, actually felt that they had treated Yun Jin and her daughter unfairly and made them suffer great injustices, and they kept thinking about her in their words.
Finally, the village cadres unanimously decided that Yunmian's examination fees and round-trip fare at the county hospital would be funded by the village.
The system that witnessed the whole process: "..."
"Mianmian, through this incident I have understood a very profound truth about life." The system murmured to itself while squatting beside the host's pillow.
Yunmian held the egg her mother stuffed in her hand and asked curiously, "What's the reason? Is it because my mother is so amazing?"
She has understood this truth a long time ago!
"No, it's not." The system sighed deeply, "I understand why I bound you among billions of people."
A big question mark appeared in Yunmian's round eyes.
The next second, the slightly excited voice of the system uncle was heard: "Because you have a very powerful mother! This is the legendary buy one get one free, great value for money! Mianmian, you are already great as a host, but your mother is even smarter and more powerful. If she comes to work in our General Administration, she will definitely become the leader of the Quick Travel Bureau! ”
