Ma Jinbao saw stars and staggered to his feet against the wall.
"Still dare to be stubborn?"
"You're slandering a girl for being unchaste; in the countryside, that would have resulted in her being drowned in a pig cage."
Du Jianshan said aggressively, "Do you think you can smear someone's entire life just by being smooth-talking and spouting a few words?"
"What did you say about Ayiguli? Shameless? Seducing a sent-down youth? You think you can just leave without apologizing?"
"dream!"
Ma Chunmei, her face swollen and covered, leaned against a tree. Upon hearing this, she struggled to stand up as well.
"Are you even being reasonable? You beat us during the day and then try to extort money from us at night. Isn't this just bullying us?!"
"You're trying to extort me! I'm going to report you to the commune!"
Ma Jinbao shouted something and turned to run away.
"Smack!"
Wang Tieniu grabbed a tree branch and lashed it across his back with a whoosh.
"Trying to run away? Sue us? We've already stripped you of your belt, and you still want to sue us?"
Ma Jinbao screamed and squatted down, clutching his head.
"Brothers, let's go, keep serving them!" Wang Tieniu waved his hand, and several educated youths gathered around him again.
"Ouch, ouch, I give up! Stop hitting me, stop hitting me..." Ma Jinbao cried and shouted.
"You think you can just refuse to pay compensation like this? Do you think we're your backyard?"
"The reputation of these educated youth girls is also a matter of life and death! Don't think that just because they don't have relatives here, you can say whatever you want to them!"
"You ruin someone's reputation with just a few words. Can you afford to compensate for it?"
"You want to sue someone? Then pay compensation first, and then sue!"
“Okay, okay… I’ll pay, I’ll compensate you…” Ma Jinbao cried as he reached into his pocket, his hands trembling.
"How much compensation... you name the amount."
Du Jianshan pointed at Ayiguli to the side: "Ask her yourself, she's the one who's being insulted!"
Aygul's eyes reddened with anger: "I don't want money."
"People like this need to be beaten!"
"Your words are as filthy as throwing shit. What would I do with your worthless money?"
Du Jianshan nodded: "Did you hear that? They're not after your money."
"But I want you to remember, this beating today is not for me, but for her innocence."
"And another thing, if you ever dare to gossip behind my back again, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
"Your petty behavior is not tolerated in our army!"
Ma Jinbao's lips trembled, half his face still smeared with blood from his nose, and he nodded vigorously: "I remember, I remember... I'll never dare to do it again..."
Wang Tieniu scoffed: "You're only chickening out now? Where were you before?"
"Hurry up and take out those few tickets from your pocket; consider it payment for your lesson!"
Ma Jinbao, trembling, pulled out a few grain coupons and an industrial voucher, stacked them together, and handed them over: "That's all... Here you go..."
Du Jianshan didn't reach out, but instead glanced sideways at Wang Tieniu: "Is that enough?"
Wang Tieniu chuckled: "This amount of money can't even buy a pot, let alone compensate a girl for her reputation?"
"It has to be at least three times."
"right!"
Aygul stomped her foot, "Add another twenty catties of white sugar! I want to make jam. I don't want to see their faces. I need something sweet to calm my nerves!"
Ma Jinbao's face turned green, but surrounded by people, he didn't dare to say "no" and could only lower his head and reach into his pocket again.
"I...I'll go back and get it..."
"Who would believe you?" Du Jianshan sneered.
"Let your sister force you to go and get it; you won't be released until you've taken enough."
