Chapter 113: Earning 80 taels less
All the men present, including Yin Huaishan, were stunned. They had never seen a woman who dared to step on a man and beat him.
So fierce...
It was clearly Boss Cai's hand that was broken, but it felt like it was their hands that were broken, which made people feel a chill down their spines.
"Ahem...Village Chief, I have already chosen the land. I will come back tomorrow to sign the contract."
"I will come with you tomorrow, too. The village chief has some things to do at home, so I left early."
The other two families also said goodbye. The old village chief didn't have time to deal with them, so he waved his hand and let them go.
"Village, village, village chief, help!"
"Help me? You beat up our village teacher and I wanted to beat you to death. Why are you asking for help?"
The old village chief rolled his eyes at him and stepped forward to help Song Wenhui lift Yin Huaishan up.
"Huaishan, how are you? Are you okay?"
Yin Huaishan's old face turned red and he quickly said that he was fine.
"I'll go to my little sister's place and get some ointment to apply on it."
The old village chief nodded, walked up to Boss Cai and asked in confusion: "I remember you were supposed to do the labor service at the quarry for two months. Why are you back after only one month?"
Boss Cai's hands were aching so much that his forehead was covered in sweat, and he felt guilty so much that he couldn't say a word.
"Okay, if you don't tell me, I'll have someone go to the quarry and ask them. The crime of evading corvée labor is a serious one. Your family's household registration will be cancelled and you will be turned into slaves."
"Village, village chief, what I am doing now is not considered as escaping..."
The old village chief raised his eyebrows.
Yes, this guy has inquired about the rules of corvée.
Although there was always a shortage of people for corvée service, the government was not so cold-blooded and ruthless. It stipulated that if a conscript suffered from a serious illness, his service could be postponed.
Now that both of Cai's hands were broken, he must be seriously ill. After all, if he went to the quarry in this condition, he couldn't even lift a pickaxe, so it would be a waste of food.
"Well, you can't go like this. But your family still has one month of corvée service, so let your son go."
After saying this, before Boss Cai could breathe a sigh of relief, the old village chief's voice turned cold again.
"Now that we have finished talking about corvée labor, let's talk about you beating up the teacher. How evil of you are you? You dared to commit a crime in the village in broad daylight."
"I, I, I..."
Boss Cai wanted to make some excuses, but the village chief and so many people saw it clearly, so he couldn't justify himself no matter how hard he tried.
"I will report these matters to the police. If you have anything to say, go to the jail and talk to the police."
When he heard that he was going to report to the police, Cai Lao Da's eyes turned red with anxiety. He was really mad at the two people at home today, so he couldn't help himself when he saw Yin Huaishan.
When he was beating them, he noticed Yin Huaishan and his wife, and didn't notice the village chief at all. If he knew the village chief was nearby, he would not have attacked them even if he was so confused.
Boss Cai subconsciously wanted to grab the village chief's trouser leg, but his hand suddenly felt a sharp pain and he fainted from the pain.
"Huaishan, you and your wife should go home early and ask your sister to get some medicine to rub on him. Leave this man to me."
The couple had no objection. They had already fought back. The village chief had just said he would report the case to the police.
For committing a crime in broad daylight, Boss Cai will be severely punished if he doesn't die.
Song Wenhui silently supported her husband and walked back.
She calmed down now and thought back to her fierce action just now. She couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Everyone says that women should be virtuous and chaste, but I was fighting like a shrew. My husband...
Yin Huaishan suddenly turned his head and said seriously, "Hui Niang, I find that you are smarter than I thought. How did you come up with the idea of throwing mud in Boss Cai's eyes just now?"
"Ah... I just picked it up."
"You are much smarter than me, Hui Niang. I never thought you could do this."
Song Wenhui blushed a little when she was praised. She looked up and wanted to say something, but then she noticed her husband's red and swollen cheeks, which was really heartbreaking.
I should have kicked Boss Cai a few more times just now.
Two of the Cai family's corvée laborers were from their own family and their younger sister's family, but these people were not from his eldest wife's family. They were replaced by people from the second wife's family. What was there for him to hate?
He rushed out for no apparent reason, throwing stones and hitting people.
It's just like a...
"He is crazy. They were the ones who stole from us first. He deserves to be punished. And he has the nerve to seek revenge."
Jiang Wan was so angry that she couldn't stand it, and Yin Ning's face was also tense. She was not good at scolding people, but she felt better after hearing her cousin scold her.
"Dad, is it really just your face that's injured? Are there any other injuries? Is your leg okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I just got hit on the face a few times. You don't know, your mother... ah!"
Yin Huaishan felt a pain in his waist and quickly swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and changed his words.
"Your mother called the village chief in time."
Song Wenhui finally breathed a sigh of relief. The image of her in her daughter's heart was that of a gentle and virtuous woman, and that image could not be destroyed.
"Aunt, what do you think? Is Dad really okay?"
Yin Huaixi carefully examined her eldest brother and nodded, reassuring the whole family.
"It's true that only his face was injured. Big brother's legs are not as fragile as before. If he takes good care of himself, he will be able to walk without crutches next month."
"I told you it was okay, but you didn't believe me."
Yin Huaishan held up his swollen face and rubbed the medicine on it himself. Although he grimaced in pain, he still rubbed it vigorously as his sister instructed.
The village chief had already reported the beating to the police, so the matter was settled. Jiang Wan was worried that his unreasonable daughter-in-law would come home to cause trouble, so he had no plans to go fishing these days and just stayed at home.
Although Liu Lian didn't come, the batch of bricks from the brick kiln did arrive.
She placed an order of 4,000 yuan for the first time, and 2,000 yuan was delivered, leaving 2,000 yuan left. Together with the 4,000 yuan she placed an order for later, a total of 6,000 bricks were delivered this time.
The ferry terminal in the village was very crowded because there were not only 6,000 bricks from her family, but also tens of thousands of bricks ordered by new neighbors.
They were planning to build a green brick yard directly, which was much more eye-catching than Jiang Wan's. With neighbors blocking the way, she quietly hired a few villagers to push the bricks back into the yard.
"Now the bricks are in place. I'll go to the village to find someone and we'll start building the small pharmacy tomorrow!"
"That's great. Our Wanwan is amazing. She set up my mother's pharmacy so quickly."
Yin Huaixi hugged her daughter and kissed her little face. The mother and daughter were in such a good mood.
They were happy, but Qi Xiao in the city turned green when he saw the delivery note.
Both were bills for 4,000 bricks, all at 3 cents a brick!!
In other words, he earned eight taels less! !
Eight taels! !
Qi Xiao was so distressed that he nearly crushed the cup in his hand, but then he realized the cup was quite expensive and quickly let go and grabbed his chest.
No, I'm a little out of breath.
