Finally, the village chief couldn't stand it anymore and came out to remind everyone to get back to the topic.
"Alright, everyone, be quiet. Chen Chun and Chen Xiao just said they don't agree to apologize. What do you think should be done?"
"Village chief, since Chen Chun and Chen Xiao both refuse to apologize, I think it would be better if Chen Yan's family compensated Chen Chun and Chen Xiao with ten taels of silver?" Villager A came out to offer advice and expressed his thoughts.
"I think it's okay, let's do it this way." The village chief thought this was a good idea. Not only could they pay money, but they could also learn a lesson and it could also have a suppressive effect.
With this precedent, villagers will restrain themselves more and dare not act recklessly, otherwise they will have to pay compensation.
"Chen Yan, do you agree with this approach? If you agree and are willing to compensate Chen Chun, Chen Xiao, and Chen Mo with ten taels of silver, you won't have to drive them out of the village." The village chief asked Chen Yan to choose.
When Chen Yan heard that he had to pay thirty taels of silver in compensation, he initially wanted to disagree. However, he thought that if he paid thirty taels of silver, he wouldn't be kicked out of the village. If he made a fool of himself today and was kicked out again, it would be a loss.
If you lose money, you can earn it back, but if you are driven out of the village, you will have nothing.
"I agree. I will compensate them thirty taels." Chen Yan hesitated for a moment and made a decision.
Jinhua was about to make another scene, but her son and daughter-in-law stopped her. They all knew the consequences of being kicked out of the village, so for their son's sake, they had no choice but to give in.
"Okay, since you agree to pay compensation, Chen Yan, you go home and get the money to compensate Chen Chun, Chen Xiao and Chen Mo." Seeing that the matter had been resolved, the village chief asked Chen Yan to go back and get the money to compensate Chen Chun, Chen Xiao and Chen Mo, so that they would not regret it or default later.
"I don't want the ten taels of silver from my family. Just compensate Chen Chun and Chen Xiao. Uncle, I just want to tell you that if it's not your thing, don't think about it. Don't end up doing the opposite and end up losing the silver in vain." Li Yun did not want the ten taels of silver from Chen Yan. With her current assets, she didn't care about the ten taels of silver at all.
I just want to tell them one thing: don’t be greedy for things that don’t belong to you.
"I understand." Chen Yan felt that it was shameful to be scolded by his niece-in-law, especially since the student was a junior, it was extremely embarrassing.
Not wanting to see everyone's laughing faces, he went home to get the money without staying any longer.
He found a box in the secret hole under the bed, opened it, and found a piece of silver wrapped in red cloth. He counted it and found that there was only 42 taels and 500 coins in total. Some of this silver was given to him by his parents.
When my parents were alive, they often asked my second brother for money, claiming it was for medical treatment, but in reality, they were giving the money to him. In those years, they asked my second brother and Chen Ye for a total of 20 taels of silver, and the rest of the silver was saved by their frugal living.
Fortunately, my second brother did not take the ten taels, otherwise I would have only twelve taels left and I wouldn’t know how to live.
He took out twenty taels of silver, wrapped the remaining silver in cloth, put it in a box, moved the bed, and left home with the silver.
He went to Chen Mo's house and gave the silver to Chen Chun and Chen Xiao respectively.
"Village chief, I have already compensated Chen Chun and Chen Xiao with silver. Can we go home now?" Chen Yan didn't want to stay here any longer, for fear that his wife would say something outrageous and offend the villagers again. They no longer had the silver to compensate them.
"Chen Yan, Jinhua, listen carefully, this incident is over. If something like this happens again, don't blame me for being rude. No matter who pleads for mercy, it will be useless. You will all be expelled from Qingshan Village.
I will also explain the reasons to the other village chiefs. No village is willing to accept you. ” This time, the village chief decided to establish his authority so that Chen Yan’s family would not dare to cause any more trouble.
He didn't want to bother with these trivial matters anymore, nor did he want to offend Chen Mo and Li Yatou and make the villagers lose their qualifications to work.
"Village chief, we know we were wrong and we will never do it again." Chen Yan quickly lowered his posture and assured the village chief.
He didn't want to stay here, he just wanted to leave this place where he couldn't hold his head up.
"Since you all know your mistakes and want to learn a lesson, just go back." Since the silver has been compensated to Chen Chun and Chen Xiao, there is no point in them staying here, so it is better to let them go back.
Jinhua is an arrogant and domineering person who often offends people. If we continue to keep her, who knows what trouble will happen.
"Thank you, village chief." Chen Yan took Jinhua and went home with his son and daughter-in-law.
He came with high arrogance and left in panic.
Li Yun watched his uncle's family fleeing in panic, feeling somewhat emotional. Life is such a strange thing. When others live better than you, you feel uncomfortable, envious, and want to take possession of them.
But these things, some things, you can't get them just because you want them.
Just like my uncle's family, they all thought that my father-in-law was honest and kind, but stupid and easy to cheat, so they came over and wanted to take the money for themselves.
But they didn't know that Li Yun had changed his chip. If it was the original Li Yun, he would definitely let them succeed. With a modern soul, it was impossible for him to let them succeed, so they could only fail miserably and lose all their troops in the end.
So don’t be greedy, otherwise you will lose both the wife and the army.
When Chen Yan's family returned home, Jinhua started making a big fuss. Now that they had to pay twenty taels of silver as compensation, how would their family live in the future?
"Chen Yan, you useless piece of shit, why did you give them twenty taels? Don't you know what kind of life we live? How can we live if you give us the silver? You useless ghost, you trash, why don't you just die? Why am I so miserable? I married a trash like you and can't do anything well. My wife, you don't even dare to help the children when they are bullied. What's the use of you?" Jinhua howled at Chen Yan, beating and scolding him, not treating him as a man at all.
Chen Dagou took Jin Yue back to his room. He was so regretful today that nothing he could do worked. Everything was fine before, and he thought he could get the money.
