The four of them sat down and drank a round of tea before Manager Wang asked, "How did the government handle this matter?"
When Xu Jiang mentioned this matter at this moment, she was calm and said, "I redeemed their sentences."
"What... cough cough!" Shopkeeper Wang choked to death on a mouthful of tea.
Liang Mo quickly patted his back. Fortunately, he didn't drink it because he thought it was too hot, otherwise it would have been about the same.
"How could you redeem their sentences? Did they force you?" Without waiting for Xu Jiang's reply, Shopkeeper Wang beat his chest again in regret. "It's all my fault! If I had gone with you, nothing would have happened!"
Liang Mo couldn't help but ask, "Why did the boss redeem their sentences? What if they come to cause trouble again later?"
"It's precisely because I'm afraid they'll cause trouble that I'm atoning for their sentences. After the abdication, I'll have the responsibility to supervise them, and I can keep them under control." Xu Jiang stared at the gradually darkening green in the lamp. "I don't want to be blinded by hatred and drag my relatives, friends, and neighbors into trouble."
Then she looked up at Shopkeeper Wang and asked, "Brother, your car overturned today. Someone did it on purpose, right?"
A hint of anger crossed Wang's usually amiable face. "I was delivering rice and flour back home. Just as I was about to enter the village gate, a string of firecrackers startled a cow. The cow started running wildly, scraping against the stone railing, and the cart flipped over."
Fortunately, he had been using this car for a long time and had fallen off several times, so he had some experience. Otherwise, if the car flipped over and hit him, he would have been seriously injured if not killed.
Seeing him fall, several people who looked like thugs came out to warn him and told him to mind his own business.
He didn't understand what it meant at first and thought they were lunatics who had mistaken someone else. It was not until he returned to Huailiu Lane and heard about Xu Jiang's story that he figured out the whole story.
"Xu Hao is now involved with Wanjuanlou. He must be trying to overturn the verdict and prevent you from testifying for me, so he resorted to such despicable means." Xu Jiang said guiltily, "I have implicated my brother."
Then he offered him a cup of tea.
Shopkeeper Wang accepted it and then said, "Drink this tea, and don't talk about whether it's implicated or not. Besides, I'm fine."
Xu Jiang was grateful. "Now that I've atoned for their sentences, Xu Hao won't have a chance to overturn the verdict. You can also avoid this trouble and won't have to testify on my behalf in court. Xu Hao doesn't know about this yet, and the government wants to use a trick to lure him out and trap him. To prevent you from testifying on my behalf, he'll probably use some other tricks. To avoid alerting the enemy and to ensure safety, brother, please stay away from me. It's best to make it known that you're severing ties with me. This way, you can avoid any trouble."
Shopkeeper Wang slammed the table, "This is so frustrating!"
"Please be patient, brother. Once we catch him and put an end to this matter, I will invite you to have a good reunion with the neighbors."
"This sister's broad-mindedness is incomparable to ordinary people. If it were someone else, I would not associate with her."
"They can't be blamed for this. It's all my fault. Besides, I have to do business in Huailiu Lane for a long time. There's no need to damage the relationship over such a small matter."
Shopkeeper Wang didn't know what to say, so he raised his cup to her and said, "Everything is in the tea. Come, I toast you."
Liang Mo also raised his glass and said, "I toast to the host too." The more he got along with Xu Jiang, the more he admired her. She had real abilities, was smart, and was open-minded and bright. She really made him feel ashamed of himself.
Yin Yin also raised her glass timidly, "I toast to my sister, too."
Xu Jiang clinked glasses with hers and drank with a smile.
On the way back to the house, Yin Yin was in a bad mood and didn't talk much. Xu Jiang coaxed her for a long time before she started talking.
"I just felt bad. I was angry that they didn't help, but I also felt that my sister was right."
"You're angry because you care about me and worry about me. That's emotion. You agree with me and understand that you can't blame them. That's reason. But emotion and reason are often difficult to reconcile, which is why you're so upset and it's difficult for others to understand. So it's normal for you to feel bad."
Xu Jiang held her in her arms and patted her back. The girl was still young.
She continued, "In life, we inevitably have to weigh and choose between emotion and reason. Excessive emotion harms reason, and excessive reason harms emotion. If we let our emotions lead us astray, how will we get along with people we meet in the future? How will we do business? It's better to let this go. Once this matter is over, let it remain the same as before."
Yin Yin nuzzled into her arms and said in a muffled voice, "Yin Yin knows."
Xu Jiang smiled and pinched her face.
When it comes to emotion and reason, she also has a hard time choosing. She is extremely reluctant to redeem the sentences of Xu Wu and Xu Twelve.
But if she insists on going her own way based on her love and hate, she will inevitably fall into their trap and drag the government office, the Lou family, Master Lin and even the neighbors into the water. How will she deal with herself in front of them in the future?
This was her grudge, and she should bear it.
However, this matter still needs to be informed to Lou Jing and Master Lin, so that they can be more vigilant. It is not difficult to deal with Xu Si because he has the county government waiting for him, but the people behind him are difficult to deal with, so this matter cannot be concealed.
In addition, I need to ask Lou Jing for advice on how to accommodate Xu Wu and Xu Twelve.
After returning to Lou's house, Xu Jiang went straight to find Lou Jing.
Taikang Restaurant.
Xu Si was enjoying a table full of delicious food and wine, his mouth drooling with joy. Manager Wu stared at him and felt nauseous.
After all, he is a person who came from a remote corner and lacks rules and education.
"I'll go to the prison tomorrow and ask around. If the timing is right, it's time for you to take action."
"My injuries haven't healed yet, so I need to wait a few more days."
Bang!
Manager Wu slammed his hand on the table and said, "You can wait, but we can't."
These days, this man has been asking for food, drinks and money for this matter, which has made Manager Wu furious. If his superiors had not ordered him to keep him, he would have beaten him out with sticks.
"You're not the one who's going to take a hundred lashes. My body hasn't fully recovered yet. If I take another lash, how can I survive?"
