Lin Zhaodi's words silenced the other villagers. Those who had daughters volunteered to ask, "If their daughters were wronged, would they really be able to accept thirty yuan?"
"Wang Jinhua, what do you mean by siding with justice over relatives? Qiao, the educated youth, has already come to our Hongqi Village to work in the countryside. His household registration has been transferred to Hongqi Village, and he is now a member of our Hongqi Village. He responded to the country's call to work in the countryside, but we treat him as an outsider. Isn't this disheartening to the educated youth?"
Fu Dazhuang, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly stood up and said indignantly, "Wang Jinhua, are you crazy? Why report something to the police when it can be solved with money? Are you proud of having a son who is guilty of hooliganism? Don't you understand what hooliganism is? If you are found guilty, you will be executed immediately."
Fu Dazhuang spoke loudly, but he felt guilty. He only knew that his mother was helping that beautiful educated youth, so he had to help her, otherwise his mother would definitely deal with him when she returned.
As for the crime of hooliganism which would result in the death penalty, he was just trying to scare Wang Jinhua, and he didn't know if it was true.
When Wang Jinhua heard he would be executed, her face turned pale with fear. She only had this one son, and her eyes looked at Qiao Shu with a hint of pleading: "Qiao Zhiqing, please be kind and spare Ermazi this time since it's not a serious crime. He's the only one in our Wang family who can carry on the family line."
Qiao Shu sneered in his heart.
Why are you asking for help now?
She looked at Wang Jinhua and said word by word, "Aunt Wang, what about my request just now?"
Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly: "Promise, we promise."
Their family conditions were pretty good. Ermaizi's father was a carpenter and occasionally took on odd jobs, earning twenty yuan a month, which he could still manage if he gritted his teeth.
"There is a second request."
Wang Jinhua nodded quickly: "Go ahead."
"My second request is that you clarify what happened today. If there are any rumors about me, Qiao Shu, your son will go to jail!"
Rumors can kill people. Even if this matter has been resolved today, if it gets out, Qiao Shu will still lose her innocence.
She wanted to live her life with integrity and a clean conscience, and didn't want to be weighed down by gossip.
Wang Jinhua nodded repeatedly. This was simple. As long as her son was safe and sound, it would be fine.
Seeing Wang Jinhua agree, Qiao Shu was finally satisfied. She smiled and said, "Okay, my third request is that I'm emotionally wounded and need to rest. However, I'm an educated youth and I'll starve to death if I don't work for a day. I want you to do ten centimeters every day for five consecutive days, and then I'll let Wang Ermazi go."
Ten centimeters!
This is fatal!
Wang Jinhua's expression turned very ugly, but thinking of her son, she could only grit her teeth and nod: "Okay, I promise you."
Qiao Shu then curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction, turned to look at Xu Da, and said with a smile: "Captain, I leave this matter to you."
Xu Da: “…”
He wanted to say something, but looking at Qiao Shu's smiling face, he felt he couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and agree. Well, as long as this matter could be resolved properly, it would be fine.
"Okay, I'll get things done as soon as possible. Give me the Wang family's compensation first, and then I'll give it to you. Don't worry."
After getting the promise, Qiao Shu stopped pestering her.
Xu Da was relieved when she saw that the matter was finally resolved. She looked at the villagers and said, "I hope this matter won't be made public. If it gets out, I will find out who is responsible."
Xu Da's face was dark, but he still had some of the majesty of a captain, and those people did not dare to refute him.
The matter was finally resolved and everyone dispersed.
