The people present were not stupid. Looking at Li Mei's expression, they knew that she was not so easy to talk to on a normal day. Now that she had given in and taken out the money, it went without saying that Ergouzi's claim of stealing the money was fake.
I've heard in the village before that her son, Erhu, likes to take his parents' things and has been beaten several times. This time, maybe it was her son who took it and put it on Ergouzi.
The village head heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the matter was settled. However, his anger was only just beginning to rise again.
"The matter of stealing money has been resolved. Next, let's settle the matter of my son being beaten by you." Bei Yutang did not forget to seek justice for Xiao Zimo.
Slapping someone or pinching their ears is not something you can just let go of.
Li Mei was immediately furious. "You slapped me too. So, we're even now."
"That's different. You were the one who tried to hit me first. Couldn't I resist and wait to be beaten by you?" Bei Yutang retorted sarcastically.
Li Mei had no idea that her tongue had become so sharp that it left her speechless.
Bei Yutang turned to the village head and said, "Head, my son's slap and Li pinching his ear all the way here, these two things cannot let Zimo suffer this unfair humiliation in vain."
The village head thought about it and agreed. "Then what do you want?"
"Treat others in their own way." Bei Yutang said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?" The woman watching the fun was confused.
Bei Yutang patiently explained, "How can she treat my son? Why is she going back?"
Li Mei was furious. "Kinomo, don't go too far. You're dreaming of fighting back."
The village head was also a little embarrassed and couldn't help but look at Bei Yutang. He had never seen Mu Zhitao's tongue so sharp before. Back then, she only knew how to throw tantrums and act like a scoundrel, never listening to reason.
He is notoriously difficult to deal with in the village, and now that he is starting to reason with her, he becomes even more difficult to deal with.
The village head was in a dilemma. "Mu, how about asking Li to apologize to you?"
Bei Yutang stared at Li Mei coldly, "Li, if you don't agree, let's go to the government office to resolve this matter."
Li Mei was also furious. "It's Shangguanfu, don't think I'm afraid of you."
Bei Yutang raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say you were afraid of me. Oh, and please, can someone take Er Huzi away with you? He's involved in this case, too. Once the case is settled, it'll be great for the mother and son to have some company in jail."
It was easy to expose a child's lies, especially when they were lying on the spur of the moment. She had plenty of ways to get Erhuzi to tell the truth.
She had learned a lot about interrogation tactics in the previous mission worlds.
"Do you have any evidence to prove that it wasn't your son who stole it?" Li Mei was hoping for a lucky break. She wanted to find out first and then think of a solution.
"I don't need to tell you. How to prove it? You'll know when you get to the government office. Then, either you or your son will be sent to jail."
Bei Yutang's tough attitude made Li Mei feel uneasy.
"Choose. Either let us return it, or meet at the government office." Bei Yutang looked at her with sharp eyes, not giving her any chance to escape.
"Go ahead and hit me." Li Mei said with her face turning pale and blue.
If I really go to jail with my son, I will lose all my dignity and face.
