"No wonder the villagers don't get along with you educated youth. You all bully people like this. How can you treat people well?"
"You must apologize to Hu San and pay his medical expenses today!"
Upon hearing this, everyone started discussing it, with many villagers just watching the spectacle.
If they don't understand Han, how could they not understand Lin? Lin never hits or causes trouble for no reason; he only speaks up when someone does something wrong.
The educated youth unconditionally stood on Lin Xiaoxiao's side. Just because Wang Juan said that the educated youth and the villagers were not united, they stood on Lin Xiaoxiao's side.
Lin Xiaoxiao frowned again. "You mean, the one who gets hit is always in the right?"
Wang Juan slightly raised her chin. "Otherwise, you didn't beat Hu San like this just to avoid admitting it, did you?"
"You dare to hit people but don't dare to admit it, you're all cowards. You still want to lead the villagers to run a factory? With characters like that, the village's factory will go bankrupt sooner or later!"
“You can ignore my little antics all the time, since they’re your own business. But this is different now. We’ve invested money in this factory, and I won’t allow people with questionable character to participate in its management and operation. Who knows if you’ll do something underhanded and then deny it?”
"Fellow villagers, aren't you afraid of having someone like this managing the factory?" Wang Juan looked up at the surrounding villagers after reading the report, hoping that her words would be accepted by them. The money in the factory was the village's money, and she didn't believe that no one cared.
However, none of the surrounding villagers responded; they not only remained silent but also stared at her indifferently.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Wang Juan was puzzled and helpless. Why was everyone so indifferent?
It's true that Lin Xiaoxiao has helped the village a lot, but they can't take credit for it and bully whoever they want in the village. If this continues, won't they be able to do whatever they want in the future?
Why should I?
They are clearly the masters of this village, so why do these educated youth from outside have such high prestige?
To put it bluntly, the villagers are all related, whether near or far. Shouldn't they all unite to resist when it comes to such matters?
Because she knew that some people were a little uncomfortable about the workshops being set up in the village. She had taken the lead in speaking out, and others should have joined in. But to her surprise, not a single person spoke up.
Lin Xiaoxiao scoffed, "Wang Juan, you're really laughable. Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
"So the person who got beaten up is innocent? If that's the case, if someone goes to your house and takes your money, and you find out, and you beat the thief half to death, then the thief, seeing how badly he's injured, not only doesn't have to pay back the money, but the thief is in the wrong."
"If you're so reasonable, don't blame the thief if you encounter one in your house tomorrow, because you said the person who got beaten was right."
"This is the first time I've ever heard of such a principle in my life."
Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Wang Juan's face turned red with anger: "You...you're being unreasonable!! How can you give an example like that?"
"You're using a fallacy of semantics!!"
Lin Xiaoxiao scoffed, "Now you're accusing me of changing the subject? Didn't you just say that?"
“Wang Juan, you and Hu San got into this mess because you were fools, I don’t care about you. But this time it’s definitely not Han Qiushi’s fault. If we’re at fault, I’ll make sure you get all the compensation, from medical expenses to compensation for emotional distress and nutritional expenses.”
"But ask yourselves honestly, do you have the right to take this money?"
"You...you're just taking advantage of all these people standing on your side, clearly trying to bully us." Wang Juan became more and more agitated as she spoke, pointing her finger at Lin Xiaoxiao as she said angrily.
Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't going to put up with her. She directly brushed Wang Juan's hand away. "There's no reasoning with a fool like you. But I'm warning you, if you keep pointing at me like that, I won't be polite."
After making those harsh remarks, she wasn't finished: "You think you're right just because you got beaten up? I haven't even settled accounts with you yet."
“My partner is such a good-tempered person. What heinous thing did you, Hu San, do to make someone as gentle as Han Qiushi take action?”
“You feel wronged for your boyfriend, but I feel wronged too. My boyfriend has never argued with anyone since he came to Wangjia Village. Now he has hit people. He must have suffered a lot of grievances back then.”
"You must have bullied my people too much. You even made us pay compensation. I want you to pay for emotional distress as well."
"This time, the success of sourcing and selling goods largely depended on Han Qiushi's quick thinking. If you make my girlfriend confused and the village factory can't operate properly, you'll be the biggest sinners in the village!!"
Wang Juan really hadn't expected Lin Xiaoxiao to be so quick-witted, actually portraying them as the ones in the wrong: "You're talking nonsense, nonsense! Hu San may be a bit unruly, but how could someone of his size possibly bully Han Qiushi?!"
"Lin Xiaoxiao, you're completely distorting the truth! One of you uses your size to hit people, and the other uses your sharp tongue to slander us!"
Lin Xiaoxiao stepped forward and said loudly, "Really? You're saying we're bullying people? Then why didn't Han Qiushi hit anyone else? Why didn't you hit them?"
"And besides, with such a sharp tongue, why don't I ever use it to slander others?!"
Seeing the people around her nodding in agreement, Wang Juan felt both angry and flustered. She knew the truth was on her side, but she couldn't think of anything to refute Lin Xiaoxiao.
Wang Juan's eyes reddened as she thought about how she and Hu San had both been bullied, and tears streamed down her face.
"Impossible. How could Hu San bully others? His face is so swollen he's unsightly, and he has a fever of 39 degrees Celsius. Even if you don't believe Hu San, don't you all trust him?"
Li Mei said coldly from the side, "Although I don't have daily contact with Han Zhiqing, I know he is definitely not the kind of person who would hit people randomly."
"But I've heard about your Hu San. He's a real troublemaker in his own village and he's always bullying people."
Wang Xue: "That's right. If you want justice, you have to be in the right to seek justice. You're just asking questions without even knowing the facts. You're clearly trying to ruin their reputation."
Liu Lele, standing to the side, was less sharp in her words: "Wang Juan, I know whether you're domineering or not, but someone like Hu San is no good man. You might even be deceived by him."
“I’ve been playing with Lin Zhiqing for so long, and I’ve never seen them bully anyone. You should find out more before you come here to ask.”
The villagers nearby also spoke up for Lin Xiaoxiao, "Yes, you can't say that about whether or not they manage the factory. Without the two of them, where would the brigade's factory be?"
"Not to mention management."
"Yes, did you ask Hu San properly?"
