Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "But Captain, how do we calculate that loss? They earn 50 cents a day, and at this rate they'll have to work at least five more days. Five people working five days would be 12.5 yuan."
“They can compensate for the money, but the work points are paid by the village collective. You know best how work points are calculated. When it comes time to distribute the grain, everyone will receive less grain.”
"So, should everyone pay for the extra work they do?"
Lin Xiaoxiao's voice wasn't loud, but everyone around her could hear it clearly.
Lin Guang's face darkened further. What was wrong with this woman?! She was making his family and the whole village dislike him.
“Yes, Lin Zhiqing is right, my family can’t contribute these work points.”
"That's right, there are hundreds of work points these past few days, why should my family have to pay for them too?"
"I disagree as well."
"The Lin family has deep intentions, I can't figure them out either. It's simpler to report to the police station."
"If it's an attempted theft, it'll just mean a few years in jail; it won't lead to death." Lin Xiaoxiao deliberately exaggerated, since not many people understand the law these days.
Lin Guang's face turned completely pale.
All three of them shouted, "No, no, we can't report this to the police!"
Lin Shui's older brother immediately told the truth, "It was me, it was me who accepted bribes from Wan Zhiqing that made us come here to smash the houses. We really didn't steal anything."
Damn it, he wouldn't do something so stupid as to go to jail for a woman, even if it meant going to jail for himself and his family.
As for future benefits... they can't even protect themselves now, who knows what the future holds!
If he really had to be stationed at the fence, even if there were positions available for Wan Zhiqing, no one would dare to take him.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly dull person was actually the most clear-headed in the family.
“Yes, my eldest son is right. It was Wan Zhiqing who wanted to frame Lin Zhiqing and Han Zhiqing. She said she would give them benefits if they did well... We were all confused for a moment.” Lin Guang quickly chimed in after seeing that his eldest son had exposed Wan Zhiqing. He was too old to want to end up in jail!
Not to mention the two of them, even Lin Shui himself was afraid. He quickly explained to everyone how Wan Qing had approached him and what to do about the matter.
Lin Shui cried as she said, "We came here to smash the house, not to steal anything, and we don't have any issues with anyone!"
“We’ve been working here the whole time and haven’t even entered Lin’s yard.”
Waaaaah.....
They are so unlucky.
Everything was fine before, so how come the cow was stolen today?
The Lin family was desperately trying to explain. Captain Wang looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, then at the Lin family.
I'm at a loss. What kind of situation is this?
How did another Wan Qing appear? When the Lin family said this, many people believed it, after all, Wan Qing's reputation was not good, and he and Lin Shui had an improper relationship.
This sounds like the whole story. If Wan Qing really instigated it, then it's all Wan Qing's fault.
Seeing that Captain Wang was hesitant, Han Qiushi stepped forward and said, "Regardless of whether what they said is true or not, it's better to report this to the station."
"After all, my partner's yard does have quite a few things."
"Furthermore, damaging village property is no small matter. If this is something that can be resolved with just an apology, then people in the village can smash houses in the middle of the night whenever they want to, whoever they don't like?"
"Anyway, as long as you apologize properly, you won't get arrested, so the victims will be the ones who suffer in the future."
"They're demolishing it before it's even finished. If the house is completed, isn't it very likely they'll just use fire to put it down?"
"If a crime is committed, it cannot be forgiven, otherwise wouldn't bad people become more and more rampant in the future?"
"Today is an unlucky day for me and my partner. If we don't take this into account, then other people will soon be unlucky too."
“There’s no room for discussion on this matter. I’m not disregarding the villagers’ feelings; I’m doing this for everyone’s future stability and for the sake of everyone’s property.”
Lin Xiaoxiao chimed in, "That's right, we can't open this door. If we do, no one will be able to sleep peacefully anymore."
Everyone listened to what Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi said.
That's right. If someone dares to openly smash a house just because they don't like someone, who knows what they might do in the future.
After that, no one dared to talk much to the people around them. If they offended someone, who knew if someone would smash their house with a hoe in the middle of the night? Anyway, if someone found out, they could just apologize.
This matter needs to be reported to the department!
If they didn't report it, what would become of the whole village? No one dared to think about it. While they despised Wan Qing, they also felt more wary of the Lin family.
Seeing the obvious change in everyone's expressions, the Lin family felt like the sky was falling. They suddenly thought of Wang Lili's family, who hadn't gotten any advantage from Lin Xiaoxiao's words.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiqing's boyfriend was also so quick-witted.
The problem is that they didn't actually intend to steal anything; they just wanted to damage the house.
How could they dare to do such a thing?
If you really wanted to steal something, why make such a big fuss?
The Lin family felt extremely aggrieved. If the whole family went to the police station, their Lin family would be finished.
Realizing he had led the whole family astray and that Lin Guang had also resorted to petty tricks, he was truly frightened: "We really did this because we listened to Wan Qing. It was all my fault; I did it for those little benefits..."
"I won't dare again, I'll never dare to say it again..."
"We were all so foolish, misled by Wan Zhiqing, that's why we did this. I shouldn't have thought like that, sob sob..."
The two sons beside him were also weeping and repenting.
Seeing that no one in the village stood up for them, Lin Guang gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, we were wrong today. I'm willing to pay to fix up the houses for Han and Lin."
"As long as you don't report it to the police station, our family will do whatever we want."
Lin Shuiniang, trembling with fear, also knelt before the two of them, saying, "Lin Zhiqing, I know you have good intentions. All the children in the village like you. Wan Qing is trying to harm you."
"But we're willing to pay you money, I beg you to let my family go."
"If all three of them go to jail, how am I supposed to live?!" Lin Shuiniang pleaded desperately.
Everyone looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi, waiting for them to speak.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi exchanged a glance before speaking, "Okay, I can give you a chance."
"However, it won't be that easy for me to forgive you. You have to..."
