Wang Aidang and the others were practically spitting blood when they heard this. No wonder their family members had been defeated by this person; he turned out to be a tough nut to crack.
She was really anxious now: "Lin Zhiqing, let's talk this out. They were wrong. I apologize to you on behalf of my family, and to everyone else as well."
"But my family is really not well-off, and I really can't afford that kind of money."
Just then, Captain Wang came over, fearing that the situation would get out of control again. He looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and said, "Lin Xiaoxiao, can you give me some face? Let them compensate you ten yuan, okay?"
Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, that's fine. As long as they cooperate, I'll cooperate too."
Captain Wang looked at Wang Aidang and asked, "You'll have to pay Lin Zhiqing ten yuan. Do you agree to that?"
"Captain, how much does my family earn in a year? We don't have that kind of money!" Wu Cuie spoke up at this moment. Taking her money was no different from taking her life.
"Look at how badly we've been beaten, why are you helping a mere educated youth...?"
Captain Wang glared at Wu Cuie, but didn't respond to her words. Instead, he stared straight at Wang Aidang.
Wang Aidang was very reluctant to take the money. He felt indignant that they were helping a former educated youth instead of one of their own. He wanted to try and get the money back a little more.
"Captain, I have a family to support. If I give out this money, we'll all starve to death."
Captain Wang saw that the family was still not subdued by the beating, and said, "Will ten yuan make you starve to death? When you act so domineeringly, have you ever thought about others?"
"Since you don't want to take the money, then go to the police station."
"Your problems are your own to solve!"
Seeing that Captain Wang really didn't want to help them, Wang Aidang became anxious and immediately shouted, "Ten yuan is too much! We are all farmers, we earn money with work points. If we give away ten yuan, our family will really starve to death this winter!"
Some people believe this, while others don't, because their family has many members, so they earn more work points.
No matter how little money you have, you'll still have a few dozen yuan on you. Some people are good at saving money and might even have a few hundred yuan.
"Captain, I'm willing to compensate Lin Zhiqing, but ten yuan is really too much."
“Look how badly they’ve been beaten, and we still have to spend money to see them. We won’t earn any work points these days.”
"Captain, please help me make a decision."
Captain Wang asked him uncertainly, "You're going to listen to me on this? If you listen to me, then you can't have any objections."
Wang Aidang: "Okay, I won't object, I'll listen to the team leader."
After thinking for a few seconds, Captain Wang turned to Lin Xiaoxiao and said, "Lin Zhiqing, how about we ask them to compensate you with 7 yuan and give you 20 eggs?"
Upon hearing that not only money but also eggs were to be given, Wu Cuie behind the scenes was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder.
If Wang Aidang hadn't been keeping her under control, she would have screamed long ago.
Wang Aidang's heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do. It was their family who had tried to extort money first, and if they went to the police station, they wouldn't be in the right.
And at the very beginning, this woman even tried to hit him.
There are witnesses all here. If we don't give them to us, are we supposed to go and sit in jail?
I never expected such a tough guy to come to the village. They've been so successful these past few years, but today, he practically humiliated them, leaving them unable to say a word.
Actually, Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't trying to ask for an exorbitant amount, since earning a few dollars these days is quite difficult.
She insisted on not letting Wang Lili go because her family went too far. She could forget about being beaten in a few days, but the lesson of paying money was different.
She wanted to let Wang Lili know that if she wanted to cause trouble in the future, she should think twice about whether she had enough money in her pocket.
Another reason is that they want to make an example of their family members to warn others.
After all, she already had a bicycle, lived alone, and ordered so much furniture. Many people in the village were watching her, and she scared them off, so everyone knew she wasn't someone to be bullied.
This will help avoid a lot of trouble in the future.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, but I don't want to see their family when I'm working in the future."
"If I saw them, I can't guarantee what I would do."
Captain Wang readily agreed: "Okay."
"I'll arrange a place for you to work then."
And so, under Captain Wang's arrangement, the family had to prepare the goods and money within three days.
Lin Xiaoxiao gracefully retired after achieving her goal, and before leaving, she gave a wink to a few educated youths.
One of the quick-witted educated youths shouted, "You've already compensated Lin, but what about me? I want two yuan. Your son beat me back then."
Another voice emerged, and soon two or three voices demanded compensation.
Lin Xiaoxiao heard that, in the end, under Captain Wang's supervision, Wang Lili's family had to pay several tens of yuan in compensation.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao received the majority of the money; the rest of the families received only a few cents, with some receiving a dollar or two, and others a few cents.
Although the amount of money received was not much, doing this really made those who had been bullied in the past feel relieved.
From today onwards, Lin Xiaoxiao's reputation has spread far and wide in Wangjia Village. She made the most troublesome family in Wangjia Village look bad without lifting a finger.
This is really amazing. In the past, no one in the village would dare to go against them.
But as soon as Lin Xiaoxiao arrived, she dared to...
These past few days have been the busiest time, but that hasn't stopped everyone from discussing Lin Xiaoxiao's achievements. They're working and gossiping at the same time, it couldn't be more fun.
By the time work ended, the other teams also knew about Lin Xiaoxiao's situation. At this point, everyone felt that it was best not to mess with Lin Xiaoxiao if possible.
Otherwise, I would definitely be in big trouble.
Lin Xiaoxiao was unaware of her newfound fame. With the captain's permission, she went home first.
After returning, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't rest. She first went to the cellar to check how well it was ventilated. She found that the odor inside wasn't as strong anymore, but it was still a bit damp.
Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and walked to the storage room, taking out a wood-chopping knife.
I'm going to go up the mountain to get some mugwort and gather some firewood.
I'm planning to make myself a stewed goose in an iron pot for dinner tonight.
She had left the goose in the backyard for two days, and every time she saw it, she couldn't help but drool. Since there was still time, she decided to take the goose to see its mother today.
After gathering firewood and mugwort on the mountain, she returned home.
Just as Lin Xiaoxiao put the mugwort in the cellar, she heard a knock on the door.
"Sister, my forever sister, are you home?"
She was wondering who it could be, but when she heard the familiar voice, she knew it was Wang Xue.
Lin Xiaoxiao made a point of checking the house for anything that shouldn't be there before opening the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard their excited voices: "Lin Zhiqing, you are really amazing!"
"Today you have avenged many of us."
Lin Xiaoxiao opened the door and smiled helplessly. Several educated youths had arrived, each carrying something in their hands.
These people are so sensible.
