Chapter 211: Singing the Same Song
Shen Yi pursed his lips, looking serious.
Liu Tiechui on the side echoed: "Brother-in-law is right, fortunately Shen Yi's wife and children are fine, otherwise I don't care if the person lying in there is my father-in-law or not, I will definitely not let him off easily!
Even if Shen Yi's wife and children are fine, this matter cannot be covered up so easily! You must not only compensate for the losses caused to the Shen family, but also double the compensation! If it happens again, I will not recognize any relatives and will directly send you to the county government!"
Ma Xingteng nodded like a grandson, "Yes, yes, my brother-in-law is right. I was also very angry when I heard about this just now, but my father is injured all over. If you listen carefully, you can still hear his screams. As a son, I can't find a good time to say a few words to him."
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows and looked sharply towards the backyard of the clinic, "What is his specific injury?"
Ma Xingteng spoke the truth without reservation, "There is a hole in my head, and I just bled a little too much. It's not life-threatening, but my eyes were covered with the powder, and it hurts so much that I can't open them. Doctor Li cleaned them and applied medicine to them, and they are much better now, but I have to apply medicine for the next few days, and I can't see anything.
He also had a broken leg, which was said to have been caused by a fall. No one knew how he fell so badly. It would probably take him a year or two to recover. In addition, he had a rash on his body, which was painful and itchy. He kept wanting to scratch it. Doctor Li was afraid that the more he scratched, the worse it would get, so he simply tied his hands.
Tsk tsk tsk. Not to mention me as his son, even anyone who sees his current appearance would have to say one word: 'miserable!' Or 'very miserable'."
His voice was loud enough for everyone inside and outside the clinic to hear it. It was estimated that within half a day everyone in Moshi Town would know about Mr. Ma's miserable situation.
Shen Yi was originally full of anger and wanted to take the initiative to cut off business relations with Ma Xingteng. Now that he saw that he took the initiative to apologize and did everything he planned to do, he felt relieved instantly and his expression eased a lot.
"Since he has already learned his lesson, I will not pursue the matter. However, there will definitely not be a next time!"
Ma Xingteng nodded frantically, "I promise, if it happens again next time, I...I will take care of him for you!"
Shen Yi and Liu Tiechui both looked over in shock.
Can such outrageous words be spoken so brazenly?
After Shen Yi left, Ma Xingteng breathed a sigh of relief, his expression becoming more solemn, "Brother-in-law, thank you for your help today. I will come to thank you in person after I finish the matter."
Liu Tiechui waved his hand and said, "It's just a small favor. But your father has caused a lot of trouble. I'm afraid you should prepare for a rainy day."
Ma Xingteng's face became even uglier.
Early the next morning.
When Su Tai was at home taking care of the children, the Ma family came with a large group of people and drove two large carts of things to her house, saying that it was an apology to Su Tai.
When the villagers saw Su Tai, they all exclaimed that she was amazing. Even the village chief couldn't help but praise Su Tai several times.
Su Tai remained calm when she saw the things. She thanked the Ma family's steward and closed the gate again.
Shen Yi came back after noon.
Su Tai said, "The Ma family sent a lot of things today, saying they were gifts of apology, and I accepted them all. There were many supplements, ginseng, bird's nest, ganoderma lucidum, and deer antlers, all collected, as well as eight complete pieces of brocade and two sets of pure gold and gemstone head ornaments. I calculated that those things were worth several hundred taels.
I heard that Ma Xingteng's stepmother is not an easy person to deal with. Since the family has not yet been divided, it may not be easy for him to bring so many things here. Since she apologizes sincerely, let's forgive that old man this time."
Chen Yi raised his mouth corners in amusement, his face full of doting, "Okay, then I'll listen to you. Let's forgive them this time. Counting the days, the strawberries are almost harvested, and it will be the turn of the watermelons in a few days."
Speaking of things in the field, Shen Yi frowned unconsciously, “Xiao Tai, you said that in three or four years, when the ringo really bears fruit, can we still sell the fruits we grow?”
Su Tai nodded without thinking, "Apples can only be harvested in autumn or autumn and winter, which does not conflict with the fruits we grow. In fact, those who grow apples can make a lot of money if they can wait.
After all, ringo is durable in storage and can be stored at low temperatures for a whole winter. It is fragrant, sweet, and juicy, so it is definitely popular, and you can make a lot of money from it, especially at the end of the year.”
"In that case, should we plant some as well?" Shen Yi stroked his chin in thought.
Su Tai thought about it, but still shook her head and refused. "We are already eye-catching enough by growing strawberries and watermelons. Those people are relying on Ringo to make money. If we follow suit, we will be suspected of trying to make money from them, and we will inevitably be criticized. We should continue to maintain the status quo so that everyone can have a good rest in the winter. After working hard for a year, we still have to worry about this and that. What kind of life is this!"
Shen Yi also felt that what Su Tai said made sense, so he stopped talking about it.
By the time the watermelons were sold, it was almost autumn. At this time, those who grew apples had already determined that their trees would not bear fruit this year. Many families panicked and ran to the door of Ma's house in the town to make trouble.
"At the beginning, Mr. Ma swore that ringo was so good and that it would make us rich, so we followed his lead to plant it. He is a liar, all of him is a liar!"
"We have worked hard for a whole year, but now we have no money and no food. I cannot live any longer."
"Oh my God! Why don't you open your eyes and kill that heartless thing!"
The troublemakers were particularly serious. The doorman and thugs were all blocking the back door. They all looked nervous and had beads of cold sweat dripping down their faces.
"This won't work, butler, what should we do?"
The housekeeper was also in a dilemma, and had to step out to calm everyone down. "Don't worry, the eldest master has already sent people to dispatch food. We will hold on for a while."
In the backyard, Sang was already packing her luggage and preparing to sneak out through the back door, but as soon as she walked out of the yard, she was stopped by Bai and her men, "Where are you going, mother?"
Sang felt guilty, her eyes flickered, and she quickly hid the bag behind her, "I... I have something to go out for."
Bai sneered, "Did you go out for something or are you in a hurry to escape? It is said that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes. This is really reflected in mother!"
Sang was so angry that she stopped pretending. "Yes! I am leaving. What's wrong? Don't you want to leave? Stop pretending to be so affectionate with me."
Bai looked at the corner of the corridor and sneered, "Mother, you are afraid of death, but don't think that everyone is as bad as you. If I really want to leave, who can stop me with my identity as a daughter of the Bai family? The Ma family hasn't been defeated yet, but you are so impatient to escape. If they really lose, will you step on them?"
Sang was ashamed and angry, and she yelled at the top of her voice, "Get lost! I don't have time to waste with you, I'm leaving today, let's see who can stop me!"
