Zhou Jianguo snorted coldly, "Yu Dabao, are you scared now?"
Why didn't you do this sooner!
"You've not only smeared my family and Erzhu's family, but you've also caused widespread panic in the village. The impact is terrible; this matter can't be left so easily."
Zhou Jianguo felt a surge of anger rising in his heart when he thought about how the villagers had been pointing fingers at him these past two days.
Looking at Yu Dabao kneeling on the ground, Yu Chengyuan felt no pity. "Fellow villagers, what do you all think we should do about this?"
I personally think it's better to send it to the police station!
Give it to Uncle Hat so they know what the consequences are for breaking the law, so they won't forget and continue to harm people next time.
If you have any other opinions, please feel free to share them.
The villagers immediately erupted in discussion, each offering their own opinion.
"This kind of person needs to be sent to the police station to teach him a lesson!"
"Yes, we can't let him off so easily, otherwise anyone can spread rumors in the future."
"From this perspective, what they said about Old Lady Wang's property was also a lie."
These two brothers have such wicked intentions!
"Village chief, they should be severely punished."
"Fellow villagers, second uncle and second aunt, I'm so sorry, I really didn't know that all these things were done by my eldest brother."
My older brother told me that my grandmother had left behind a lot of property, and I believed him. I never imagined it was all a lie.
As a scholar, I feel deeply ashamed, and I apologize to everyone here.
Given the current situation, he has no choice but to prioritize saving the day over the future.
After saying that, he walked to his elder brother's side and whispered in his ear, "Brother, I will not treat you badly in the future, it's just that you will have to suffer."
Now that things have come to this, you should try to ask your uncle for help. He's the kindest person, and there might still be a chance for things to turn around.
"It's not convenient for me to plead on your behalf."
It's all that idiot's fault. He told his grandmother she had gold and silver treasures, but she didn't have a single penny, let alone any gold bars.
It caused him to take several days off, wasting his time for nothing.
However, the reason he reminded this fool to plead with his uncle was not because he cared so much about his older brother.
Instead, he will have to rely on his older brother for living expenses for the next six months.
So it would be best if the eldest brother could avoid going to jail, but he couldn't possibly plead for him personally, otherwise how could he maintain his image of putting righteousness before family?
"Yu Erbao, what are you whispering about next to your brother?"
Is there anything that we, the adults, cannot hear?
Or are you planning some trick again?
Yu Chengyuan wondered if this brat had another idea.
"Yu Chengyuan, don't make wild guesses. I was just giving my brother a few instructions, is that not allowed?"
Yu Erbao stopped pretending with Yu Chengyuan. He hated the man to the core because all his plans had failed because of him.
Yu Erbao then turned to the village chief and said, "Uncle Zhou, my elder brother made a mistake. Even princes are subject to the same laws as commoners."
I won't protect him just because he's my brother. You can deal with him however you want!
Even a tree needs its bark to protect its reputation, and I can't bring myself to beg for everyone's forgiveness.
After finishing his sentence, Yu Erbao turned to his older brother, Yu Dabao, and said, "Big brother, if you go to jail, you should reflect on your actions!"
Seeing Yu Erbao's righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor, the villagers all nodded in approval.
"Is this really Yu Dabao's idea all by himself?"
I think so!
Yu Erbao is a college student with a bright future; how could he possibly do something so heinous?
"I guess Yu Erbao is kept in the dark and doesn't know anything about it!"
"I think so too. Otherwise, why wouldn't he plead for Yu Dabao? He's his own brother."
“They’ve received higher education, so their ideas are naturally different.”
"I think this second child is quite good. The third branch of the Yu family finally has a promising prospect."
As Yu Erbao listened to the villagers' discussions, a satisfied expression gradually appeared on his face.
But in his heart he thought: A bunch of treacherous people want to harm me? Dream on!
They were all manipulated by me.
Yu Chengyuan watched Yu Erbao's performance from the side and sneered inwardly: What a hypocritical and sanctimonious man!
Yu Dabao naturally didn't want to go to jail either. Hearing Yu Erbao's words, he was overjoyed, thinking that his second brother still cared about him.
He just needs to do as his brother says.
A moment later, Yu Dabao suddenly knelt down in front of Yu Dazhu and his wife with a thud, looking like he was sincerely repenting.
"Uncle, Aunt, your nephew is wrong."
You two are the kindest of people. I beg you, please speak to the village chief and the villagers on my behalf and give me a chance to reform.
Now that my parents have gone to that place, we won't even have a home anymore.
Now you have your son by your side, a new house to live in, and money to earn; you are living a happy life that most people envy.
Please have pity on me!
Give me a chance to start anew, and I promise this will never happen again.
Yu Dabao kowtowed as he spoke, putting on a very convincing act.
Yu Erzhu sighed and shook his head. "Dabao, we're from the same village, we'll see each other all the time. I don't want to push things too far, but what you did was really too much."
I watched you grow up, and I don't know how you turned out like this.
Upon hearing that there was room for leniency, Yu Dabao hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Uncle Erzhu, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."
“Da Bao, this matter is not just a matter for our eldest son’s family. It involves your second uncle’s family and the village chief’s family. I am powerless to help you.”
