After all, this child was not only pushed into the river, but you didn't even tell your parents to come and rescue him, which is a bit scary. No one can guarantee that their own child will not encounter such a thing when playing with them.
So these neighbors should listen carefully, and if it's really like that, they should quickly keep their children away from him and not let them play with such a child.
“Well, your son is fine now, isn’t he? I’ll have my son apologize to your son,” Li Dachun argued.
"What are you saying? Everyone, please be the judge. This is what a normal person would say. An apology is necessary, but we can't just let it go like this," Tingting said, looking at her.
"Then what do you want? Let me tell you, my family has no money." Seeing that things were not going well, Li Dachun immediately spoke up.
“No money, and no food? These two brothers, Cheng and Cai, saved my son, and he still has a fever. You absolutely have to compensate me for the food. Let me tell you, this matter can be big or small, but if you continue with this attitude, we won't be polite,” Jianjun said coldly.
Here's what we'll do: 150 jin of grain and 10 yuan. How does that sound? Even if it's more, we won't give you more; we haven't even distributed the grain yet."
"Everyone is struggling to make ends meet these days. If you hadn't come, we wouldn't have known that my two good-for-nothing sons had done these things. I also know that you two are people who don't cause trouble. How about this compensation?"
"Honey, we're giving them so much grain, what are we going to eat? This is outrageous!" Li Dachun shouted anxiously.
"Alright, our son was in the wrong first. No matter how difficult it is, we have to make Jianjun and his wife happy. It's our fault for not raising him well. What do you think, Jianjun?"
Although Jianjun and Tingting knew this was a ruse by him and hoped to let his son off the hook, they felt it was best not to dwell on the matter since he had already said so.
If Li Dachun and his wife are both so unreasonable, she'll make sure they don't just give her some grain in compensation if she doesn't take them to the city.
“Alright, since you’ve said so, and you’re a reasonable person, let’s just let this matter go. Let those two kids apologize to my son, and we’ll call it even,” Jianjun said, looking at him.
"Alright, thanks then, young man. I'll have my two rascals go apologize to Zhu Zi right away."
The neighbors watched the commotion for a while, and finding that there wasn't much of a conflict, they were a little disappointed and prepared to go home. However, the whole village already knew about the whole incident.
“Little Zhuzi, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have taken your things and caused you to fall into the water. I’ve come to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me,” Fen Dan and Gou Dan said, crying.
"Okay, I understand. I accept your apology. You two can leave now." Zhu Zi didn't want to talk to them.
When Li Dachun's family heard that Zhu Zi had accepted the apology, they knew that the matter was over, and that the food and money had already been brought.
“You’re talented, come here,” Tingting called to the child.
"What's wrong, Auntie? Is there something you need?" Youcai asked, a little puzzled.
"Here's the thing, you saved Zhuzi, so your aunt and uncle are going to give you all the grain and money that Li Dachun's family compensated you with. This morning, you can go and visit the old men in the cowshed, and this afternoon you can come here to learn from them. You can eat here this afternoon, what do you think?"
"Auntie, isn't it too dangerous to leave this money at my house? I'm a little worried. Could you please keep it safe for me? Also, keep the grain here. Youcai and I will study and eat here this afternoon. Thank you for your help."
"Silly child, if you're worried about the money, Auntie will keep it for you. When you need it, I'll give it to you. Take the grain back and put it in the cellar. Don't worry about anything else, just focus on your studies." Tingting patted Youcai's head.
"Alright, stop arguing. Hurry up and get ready. We're about to eat. Look how thin you are. If you don't get healthy, how will you protect your younger brother in the future?"
"Yes, thank you, Auntie. I will remember your and Uncle's kindness."
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Go wash your hands, dinner is ready soon."
Dog Egg and Fen Egg got a beating as soon as they got home. They cried so loudly that all the neighbors heard them, but none of them came out to help. They all thought the kids needed to be disciplined, or they would be ruined.
