She wasn't trying to protect her own; she just needed to be reasonable and well-founded in her statements.
If compensation is required, then there must have been some loss. If there was no loss, then there's no reason for compensation.
Some parents felt ashamed after Zhang Xiu asked them this question, but others didn't think that way at all.
"Your child bullied our child, and now you think you can just let it go? That won't do!"
Someone else chimed in, "Exactly! Even if there are no injuries, what if they catch a cold? Can you afford to take responsibility?"
Even worse, some people said extremely malicious things: "This adopted child has no manners! I think we should send him away as soon as possible!"
"Everyone!!"
Just as everyone was talking at once, Wan Suizhou suddenly shouted angrily.
"If everyone wants an explanation, I will naturally accept it! But you are all elders of a child, don't you think it's a bit too much to talk about other people's children like this?!"
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
But soon someone, having gained the upper hand, became unforgiving.
Left with no other option, Wan Suizhou had to agree to compensate everyone.
However, some people with ulterior motives directly demanded an exorbitant compensation fee from Wan Suizhou.
Regardless of the fact that the child standing here today has no injuries whatsoever.
Even if you cripple one of them, it wouldn't cost that much money.
Zhang Xiu said coldly from the side, "Although our family has made mistakes, we will never be taken advantage of! You think you can bully us and exploit us? Absolutely not!"
In the end, the Wan family sought help from the village chief of Lanhai Village to resolve the matter.
Since the village chief has stepped in, this matter must be thoroughly investigated; we cannot simply rely on one side's account.
"Since you say that the Wan family's children bullied others, then bring your children here so I can get to the bottom of this."
These parents all confidently pushed their children out.
The children were somewhat nervous in front of the adults; some were fidgeting with their clothes, others had their heads down, and their eyes looked timid and guilty.
The village chief then asked them, "Tell me, how were you bullied? Where were you injured? If anyone dares to lie, I'll whip them first!"
The children looked at each other, not daring to say a word.
Their parents, however, were the first to become impatient.
"Say it! What did you say at home?! Tell me now!!"
The children shrank back, frightened by the intimidating look in their parents' eyes.
Then everyone subconsciously looked at Baili Wanwan.
Baili Wanwan wasn't afraid at all; instead, she smiled at the children.
As if receiving some kind of signal, the children all said that they had not been bullied.
The village chief was displeased. With a stern face, he glared angrily at the group of villagers: "Are you trying to make trouble for me?!"
"Village chief, please don't misunderstand, how could we dare! We're just here to demand an explanation for our child..."
Several villagers quickly offered explanations.
The village chief sneered and said, "This child says he wasn't bullied, but you parents say he was. Do you think I'm stupid?"
"The child is too young to lie. I think it's you old men who have been blinded by money!"
He angrily berated the group of idle villagers, saying, "I think you might as well go rob someone! How dare you shamelessly stage an accident at someone's doorstep to extort money!!"
Several villagers clearly wanted to argue, but their child's actions made them completely unreasonable and without any basis for their claim.
In the end, it's unclear who lost face first, but they left with their son.
Then others followed suit and left.
"Hmph! This bunch of bastards! They have no conscience at all!"
The village chief looked at the group of parents and was very angry.
At least Wan Suizhou took in the village children and taught them without charging them any money. It's these parents who are so disheartening.
Thinking of this, he quickly apologized to Wan Suizhou.
Fortunately, Wan Suizhou was not a narrow-minded person. After chatting with the village chief for a while, his anger subsided.
But at this moment, Zhao Damei, who was watching the commotion from a distance, remembered something else.
Wan Suijin went out for a while before, and when he came back, he said he had encountered ghosts and monsters.
He had been lying at home for several days, and when he slept, he kept having nightmares. Occasionally, he would call out the name of the little baby that the Wan family had found.
She thought for a moment, and a plan suddenly came to her mind, so she hurriedly went home.
After the matter subsided, two more days passed uneventfully.
One day, Baili Wanwan was playing at the door when she saw Wan Qiusui sneaking towards her from afar.
Baili Wanwan glanced at Wan Qiusui, then remembered her aunt's advice to stay away from him. She clapped her hands, deciding to ignore him and go back.
Unexpectedly, Wan Qiusui blocked her way and asked her with great displeasure, "Why are you running away when you see me!"
Baili Wanwan said, "Get away from me! I don't want to play with you!"
Wan Qiusui was a little angry at what she said. He was about to raise his hand to hit her when he remembered what Zhao Damei had told him. So he turned his eyes to Baili Wanwan and said, "I'm here to apologize to you. I also brought you something nice. Do you want it?"
After Wan Qiusui finished speaking, she took out a small object from her bosom.
It was a strange little pendant, like a necklace.
It looks like a small person, but its appearance is very strange, with its claws bared and it looks particularly creepy.
Baili Wanwan glanced at it and immediately said, "I don't want to..."
As she spoke, she tried to bypass Wan Qiusui and run home.
But Wan Qiuhui blocked her way and threatened her, "You dare refuse! Believe me or not, I'll beat you up!"
Baili Wanwan was very angry and was about to teach him a lesson when she saw Wan Yuekui returning from outside in the distance.
Wan Yuekui seemed to have noticed Wan Qiusui bullying Baili Wanwan, so he ran home while yelling at Wan Qiusui, "Wan Qiusui! What do you think you're doing! Don't even think about bullying Wanwan!"
Wan Yuekui often beat him up, so Wan Qiusui was very afraid of Wan Yuekui.
Just then, Wan Yuekui's gaze was also drawn to Baili Wanwan's.
While Baili Wanwan wasn't paying attention, Wan Qiusui hid the small pendant on Baili Wanwan's person and ran away.
When Wan Yuekui saw him running, he took off his shoes and threw them at him.
The blow was powerful and accurate; the shoe upper struck Wan Qiusui on the back of the head, causing him to stumble and nearly fall.
Fearing that Wan Yuekui would chase after him and beat him up, he didn't dare to look back and ran away, covering his head.
"Brother Kui, don't chase after them!"
Upon seeing this, Baili Wanwan quickly picked up his shoes and went to call him.
Wan Yuekui stopped somewhat unwillingly, and then went back to check if Wanwan had been bullied.
"Why is Wan Qiu Sui here again? Did he bully you? Tell me the truth, and I'll get revenge for you!"
"I don't know either..." Baili Wanwan was also a little confused.
