"This five hundred yuan was the compensation you promised to Baozhu in order to prevent us from accusing you of hooliganism.
Since you want it back now, there is no reason for us not to return it.
It's just right that you've taken the money now, and we can go to the Public Security Bureau to discuss the rest."
After hearing this, how could Wu Wenjie dare to leave?
The cloth bag in his hand also became a hot potato.
He understood what Cao Changzheng meant.
Anyway, if I take the money today, they will sue me for hooliganism.
No matter whether they will really sue him or not, the knife will always hang over his head.
Now it was Wu Wenjie's turn to be in a dilemma.
He struggled desperately:
"But Baozhu and I were clearly in love with each other. We couldn't help but taste the forbidden fruit. Baozhu also volunteered. This can't be considered a hooligan crime, right?"
As he said this, he cast a pleading look at Cao Baozhu.
I hope she can speak up for me and admit that she had sex with me voluntarily.
He completely forgot how he had just humiliated Cao Baozhu.
But Cao Baozhu did not forget, she would never forget this moment in her life.
How the man she loved most used the most vicious words in the world to trample on her face and dignity.
So when faced with Wu Wenjie's call for help, she smiled sadly.
"No, it's obvious that you forced me to do it."
Wu Wenjie felt something was wrong when he saw this. Thinking about what he had just said, he really wanted to slap himself in the face. Isn't this just digging his own grave?
But he still needed Cao Baozhu's help, so he could only hurriedly explain:
"Baozhu is not like that, don't misunderstand me, I just said that to scare them.
Actually, that’s not what I think at all.
I really like you.
Can you please don’t be angry?
Have you forgotten what I promised you before?
I do all this for you!"
Hearing this, Fourth Aunt Shen almost exploded again.
“Shut up!
Even now, you still want to deceive my daughter!"
As she said that, she immediately pulled Cao Baozhu back and away from Wu Wenjie.
"Baozhu, I'm sincere in what I say, please believe me!"
Even Lin Laosan couldn't stand it anymore.
"Okay, okay, can you please stop talking? See? You're so disgusting that I'm getting goosebumps."
But Wu Wenjie didn't give up at all. He still looked at Cao Baozhu affectionately, his eyes telling of his helplessness.
Cao Changzheng was afraid that Cao Baozhu would be soft-hearted and deceived by Wu Wenjie's appearance, so he made a quick decision:
"Stop talking nonsense here. Either take the money and come with me to report to the police, or leave the money and get out immediately!"
At this time, the group leaders were getting a little impatient. They saw Cao Changzheng and others chattering, and they couldn't hear what they were saying at all.
Aunt Wang immediately urged Wu Wenjie:
"Young man, are you going to tell me or not?"
"That's right, there are so many of us waiting."
Wu Wenjie looked back at those people, then looked at Cao Changzheng with an expressionless face, and he was in a dilemma.
He really wanted to take the money and run away, but he was worried that the Cao family would report him to the police.
If I am really convicted of hooliganism, will there be any future?
What’s the use even if I get a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?
At worst, I can just get away with it this time and think of other ways later.
He just didn't believe that he couldn't get money except from the Cao family.
Having made up his mind, Wu Wenjie no longer hesitated. He reluctantly took the cloth bag out of his clothes and handed it to Cao Changzheng, then ran away without looking back.
This running away made Aunt Wang very anxious.
"Hey? Why did you run away?
They beat you up like this, and you just let it go?
This is too cowardly!"
Fourth Aunt Shen was already in a bad mood, and when she heard this, she angrily retorted:
"What? Aunt Wang is unhappy because she didn't find a chance to deal with my family, right?
You just assumed it was my family's fault without any reason. Then, can we follow their example and say it was your family's fault whenever something goes wrong? "
"Hey, Xiao Shen, what are you talking about?
When did I ever wrong your family?
Do you dare to say that the injuries on that young man just now were not caused by your family?
You all saw it with your own eyes, didn’t you? "
Aunt Wang didn't forget to pull others into the water.
But now Wu Wenjie has left. Even if it was really the Cao family who did it, the parties involved don't care. What qualifications do they, the spectators, have to hold the Cao family accountable?
So no one spoke for a while.
Only a few people who had a grudge against the Cao family and were on good terms with Aunt Wang echoed the sentiments.
How can Aunt Wang continue to perform after this?
But she had finally caught the Cao family's handle, and she didn't want to let it go so easily, so she kept insisting on the fact that the Cao family beat people.
Cao Changzheng was exhausted by what happened today. He had no intention of dealing with these neighbors at the moment. He just wanted to go home and settle the score with Cao Baozhu.
As for Fourth Aunt Shen, she usually only knows how to show off and stir up hatred, and her quarrels are completely empty show.
He was no match for Aunt Wang and was soon at a disadvantage.
Shen Wenfang wanted to help, but she was not familiar with the place, and almost all the people living in this family compound were from the commune office.
She was worried that she would accidentally offend someone she shouldn't offend, which would bring trouble to her family and Aunt Shen's family, so she didn't dare to speak easily.
Seeing that Aunt Wang was getting more and more angry, as if the Cao family had committed a capital crime, and if it continued like this, who knew how long it would take, Lin Ran was really getting impatient and stood up immediately.
She took out a few big unity notes from the cloth bag and waved them in front of everyone.
“We did beat the man, but he was a thief who stole money from the Cao family. We beat him accidentally in order to catch him.
We originally wanted to get the lost money back and then hand the thief over to the police station.
This will prevent him from causing trouble in the family compound again in the future.
But Aunt Wang acted as a guarantor, and now that the thief has escaped, I guess Aunt Wang is satisfied now, right?"
When everyone heard that the man was a thief, they immediately became anxious.
"What? That guy turned out to be a thief? I just spoke up for him!"
"No, are thieves so rampant these days? They even stole things from our family compound?"
"What should we do now? The thief ran away. Who knows if he will come to rob our family compound again?"
“…”
People were in panic for a while.
Some people couldn't help but blame Aunt Wang.
"It's all Aunt Wang's fault. She insisted on letting the thief go. Now, we've let the tiger back into the mountains. We'll all be living in fear from now on!"
"Exactly. It would have been great if Director Cao had sent the thief to the police station."
"Yes, it was Aunt Wang who misled us just now. Otherwise, how could we possibly speak for the thief?"
Some people have very creative ideas.
"Could it be that Aunt Wang is in cahoots with that thief?"
"Is this true?"
Everyone panicked even more.
