Upon hearing this, Wang Yindi, who had already reached out to hug his leg, suddenly froze. But as expected of a "master" in this field, she turned around and hugged her arm without changing her expression, crying even louder. Her tears flowed like a flood, and her veins bulged, as if she had really suffered the pain of losing her arm.
Looking at Wang Yindi's "exquisite" acting skills, Xie Yan couldn't help but sigh. This person was simply born in the wrong era! It's a huge loss to the entertainment industry that she didn't become an actress!
The limitations of her era severely hampered her "extraordinary" acting talent. If she were alive today, she would undoubtedly be a phenomenal actress whose performances would be absolutely breathtaking!
He'd be best suited for villainous roles; with his looks and acting skills, he'd definitely win an Oscar.
When the parents ran over, Xie Yan interrupted their spellcasting and said loudly, "You should know that I know a little about medicine. I know very well whether your daughter is injured or how badly she is injured."
“And if you’re trying to scam money using excuses like a broken arm or a headache…” He paused and continued, “Of course, I will definitely compensate you.”
Upon hearing this, the couple, who had been feeling apprehensive, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Based on what Xie Yan said earlier, they thought they wouldn't be able to extort money from him today!
Unexpectedly, Xie Yan turned out to be a paper tiger. Wang Quanse glanced at Xie Yan with utter contempt. "Hmph! Another brain-dead idiot!"
I heard this guy is very rich!
This time, we must bring back as much money as possible, preferably two or three hundred, so that his son will have money to get married in the future.
Xie Yan looked at the undisguised greed in Wang Quanse's eyes and couldn't help but sneer, his smile full of disdain and mockery. "Of course, this money is, after all, used to compensate for the loss of an arm and a head injury, so the arm must be broken and the head must be injured!"
When he said the last few words, Xie Yan deliberately emphasized his tone, his voice as cold and sharp as ice shards, sending a chill through the air.
The crowd of onlookers seemed to be hit by a gust of cold wind, and they all gasped in shock.
Their eyes widened in astonishment, their gazes all fixed on Xie Yan.
Among the crowd, some people couldn't help but whisper among themselves. An old man with a wrinkled face clicked his tongue and said in a low voice, "I never expected this young man from the city to be so ruthless when he does things!"
A lean, middle-aged man next to him quickly chimed in, "Otherwise what? Let me tell you, these city people are all like black sesame seeds. They look fair and clean on the outside, but they're all black inside."
“Yes, yes!” another woman echoed, her face full of dissatisfaction. “Don’t be fooled by their sweet talk. When they really turn their hearts out, how can we honest country folk compare to them!”
"Yes! Look at that family over there. He was such a good young man, but ever since he went to the army and met some city people, he's like a completely different person." An old man with gray hair joined the discussion, his tone full of regret.
"Tell me, how many despicable things has he done since he came back!" someone added angrily.
"Hmph, there's not a single good person among these city folks!" The crowd chimed in, filled with righteous indignation, as if they wanted to vent all their dissatisfaction with the city people.
Upon hearing these words, Yu Yuehui's face turned red with anger, her eyes widened, and she was about to turn around and argue with those people.
Xie Yan reacted quickly, grabbing her hand and gently squeezing it to calm her down. "It's alright, let them talk!"
After saying that, Xie Yan deliberately raised his voice, which echoed in the air with a hint of sarcasm, "After all, they are all very kind-hearted people. Next time they are extorted, they certainly won't be as vicious as I am."
“They’re kind-hearted people, they’ll definitely be willing to pay, right!” After saying that, he looked around at the people with a sharp gaze, as if he could see through their thoughts.
Those who had just been arrogant and pointing fingers at him suddenly looked down at him like wilted eggplants, quickly lowering their heads. Whether they felt any remorse was anyone's guess.
Upon seeing this, Xie Yan let out another cold laugh.
Then, Xie Yan turned to Wang Quanse, his eyes full of mockery, "See? How helpful the villagers in our village are! If you ever try to stage an accident again, remember to look for them!"
He deliberately dragged out his words, "They'd all be happy to give you that money, but I'm not as kind as them, after all, my heart is black!"
At this point, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Wang Quanse with a half-smile, "So, have you two reached a decision? Do you want the money or not?"
Wang Quanse was furious, his face flushed red, his eyes bulging like copper bells. He pointed angrily at Xie Yan and cursed, "Bullshit! What makes you think we're trying to extort money from you?!"
He pounded his chest a few times, as if trying to vent his anger. "We may be poor, but we're not poor in spirit! If you two hadn't ganged up on my daughter and beaten her half to death, would we be asking you for money?"
His voice trembled slightly with emotion, "Yes, we are poor, but does that mean we deserve to be bullied by people like you?"
Xie Yan's face turned cold, and his voice was sharp and icy, like an icicle in the dead of winter: "Someone was indeed half-dead today, but it wasn't your daughter."
"Oh, right! I almost forgot to tell you, the female educated youth who was sent to the hospital was beaten by your daughter!"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother, who was wailing like she was mourning at a grave, suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with a fierce light, and shouted, "That damned bitch deserves to be beaten to death!"
Her voice was shrill and piercing, like the hooting of an owl, “A shameless woman who cheats on her husband has the nerve to send him to the hospital! Even if she dies, she deserves it!” She put her hands on her hips, spitting as she spoke, “It’s already a great act of magnanimity of our family not to send her to a labor camp!”
Xie Yan's lips curled into a sly smile as he said slowly, "Then why don't you send her to a labor camp? Do you dare?"
Wang Yindi understood the veiled meaning in Xie Yan's words and panicked. She quickly grabbed her mother, who was about to speak again, and pretended to be in great pain, wailing loudly, "Ouch! Mother, my head hurts, it hurts terribly!"
She screamed and rubbed her head frantically with her hands, her exaggerated performance making it seem as if she was really in extreme pain.
