"Mom, it's him! The one next to him is Yu Jiu! She's the one who hit me, it hurts so much, waaaaah!"
Li Nannan pointed at Yu Jiu and loudly complained, her voice filled with sorrow and grief, which immediately stirred up her mother's boundless maternal love.
"So, you're Yu Jiu, aren't you! You dare hit my daughter? You think there's no law in this rural place? Come on, let's go to the police station! If we don't lock you up and put you in jail, we'll change the name of the Li family!"
Li Nannan's mother wasn't a particularly reckless person who only knew how to solve problems with force. The best way she could think of was to use the power of the police to wipe out these dark forces in one fell swoop!
Li Nannan's father and brother calmed down a bit and gestured for them to stop arguing. Li's father stared at Xu Zijiang, a middle-aged man with a big belly, but his slightly narrowed eyes were something, revealing three parts shrewdness and two parts imposing manner.
“I don’t know exactly what happened, or whether my daughter lied or not, but one thing at a time. No matter what the reason, you can’t beat her like this and lock her up. You’re the team leader and have the right to manage the educated youth, but that doesn’t mean you can abuse your power and bully people at will.”
I think the best way is to go to the police station and clarify things. Then the truth will be revealed. What do you think?
It means that even though my daughter did something wrong, you can't just hit her and call it a day. I want the police to stand up for us!
Xu Zijiang understood what he meant and nodded indifferently.
"Okay, it's best to resolve this calmly. Let's go straight to the police station and bring a few witnesses to testify. Gouzi, go to the Xitang team again and bring Captain Lin and that fat guy Chen Yuan to the police station as well, so that the police won't have to run around looking for people."
His openness and straightforwardness have made Li Nannan's father suspicious. And rightly so, everyone here is his man; forging evidence would be easy. He might have made a mistake by sending them directly to the police station.
"etc."
He immediately called a halt.
"What's wrong now? Is something on your mind again?"
Xu Zijiang looked at him with a half-smile, his eyes cold.
"I dare not say what I'm thinking, but it's not easy for us to come all this way. It's not easy to get time off, and if we have to go to the police station, it might take a long time, which we don't have the time for. How about this, let's negotiate privately. If Nan Nan did something wrong, I'll make her apologize to you, but if she hit Nan Nan, she also has to apologize to Nan Nan, and Nan Nan has to hit her back."
As for the rest, how about we just call it even? I've worked my way up to deputy director in the machine factory, her mother is the factory's accountant, and her brother is a team leader. The factory is very busy; we don't have much time to waste here. After today, I'll take Nannan back home, and she won't cause you any more trouble. How about that? Is that fair enough?
Li Nannan's father began to reveal his identity.
"Wow, the deputy director in the city? That's impressive! He must make a lot of money, no wonder Li Zhiqing looks like a rich kid."
"A family of four, three of whom have jobs in the city, they are workers. No wonder, Li Zhiqing has never suffered hardship, so it seems understandable that he is not used to working here and being managed by the team leader?"
"Of course! I've never gotten up this early in my life!"
Money worship will always exist, especially in this era. It's impressive if a family has one worker, let alone three, especially high-ranking officials. People's opinions immediately start to shift.
Yu Jiu found it amusing. It is said that even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. The Li family may have good social standing, but in the end, they are just a small cadre in a factory. What makes them think they can suppress Xu Zijiang, a local snake who is thousands of miles away?
Just as she was about to retort, Li Nannan's father spoke up again.
"Of course, I know my daughter well. She has been spoiled since she was a child and doesn't know how to do many things. She went to the countryside on a whim. Her family couldn't prepare anything for her, which is why she was assigned here and doesn't know anyone. She has definitely caused you, the team leader, trouble."
How about we compensate you with some money? Is thirty enough? If not, fifty? A hundred?
He casually dropped another bombshell: for those who toil in the fields, this amount of money would be astronomical, but for his family of four, it might just be a month's salary.
Everyone's hearts tightened, a mix of envy, jealousy, and excitement. The captain agreed! Wasn't this free money?
Li Nannan and her daughter became anxious.
"Why should we pay for our Nannan's beating? That's outrageous! Lao Li, what are you doing!"
"Don't say anything yet. If we can resolve this peacefully, what's a little money? Right, Captain Xu?"
Li Nannan's father smiled shrewdly. He knew that transferring Li Nannan back would require his signature, so he couldn't afford to offend the team leader too much. After all, it was Yu Jiu, the female educated youth, who beat Nannan. As long as Xu Zijiang handed over Yu Jiu, he could overlook the rest.
He wasn't exaggerating; he was indeed very busy at the factory. If it weren't for Li Nannan, they wouldn't have been able to spare even a few days to come over.
"Bullshit! I don't need your money. You think you can bully Yu Zhiqing right under my nose? No way!"
Xu Zi, with his fiery temper, immediately retorted. Did she think she could bribe him with a few dozen or a hundred yuan to hand over her wife to him? What kind of pipe dream was that? Was he still dreaming? He wouldn't trade his wife for any amount of money! What kind of man couldn't even protect his own wife?!
"Don't be so arrogant! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're a captain? Believe me, we'll take your word for it and get you removed from your position!"
Li Nannan's brother, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't hold back any longer and angrily shouted. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was clear that he and Li Nannan were siblings.
"you go."
Xu Zi raised his chin indifferently, indicating that he should go and complain and report right away. It's strange that someone who is already in his twenties or thirties can only do this one thing.
"you!"
Li Nannan's brother was enraged by Xu Zijiang's nonchalant attitude. Seeing that they couldn't reach an agreement, he angrily stepped forward and challenged Xu Zijiang to a fight! He had formally studied fighting and knew not only brute force but also many techniques, so he wasn't afraid of Xu Zijiang, who was half a head taller than him. A fight was about to break out.
"Want to fight? Sure, I'm in."
Xu Zi casually raised her hand and got entangled with Li Nannan's brother. The moment their fists met, her brother suddenly realized something was wrong, but it was too late to get up and break free.
Yu Jiu couldn't tell who was winning or losing in their entangled struggle. She frowned and stared anxiously at the two figures locked in combat, her eyes unblinking. It seemed that because of this, she didn't notice the angry Li Ma standing to the side.
She let go of her daughter, grabbed a bucket from the yard, and splashed the whole bucket of water onto Yu Jiu's face. While the water was washing over Yu Jiu's eyes and she couldn't open them, she pounced on her, intending to launch a sneak attack.
"I won't let anyone who dares to bully my daughter get away with this! Yu Jiu! You slut, you whore! I'll tear your clothes off today!"
She screamed and lunged at him.
Li Nannan's clothes were torn to shreds from being hit by tree branches. Although it wasn't to the point of being completely exposed, it was still extremely indecent. When had her daughter ever suffered like this? She wanted the culprit to pay a thousandfold! So there was no need to beat her; just tear her clothes to shreds so that she could never face anyone again and her reputation would be ruined. This was the worst revenge she could take on a girl!
Yu Jiu was splashed with water, and her eyes felt very uncomfortable. She knew something was wrong, so she backed away while raising her arm and vigorously wiping the water off her face, especially her eyes, with her sleeve.
When Xu Zijiang saw that the young educated youth had been ambushed, he was furious. His face darkened, his high eyebrows lowered, and he was in a state of explosive anger. He stopped playing a game of equal strength with Li Nannan's brother and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying.
At the same time, he rushed over and hugged Yu Jiu, blocking Li Nannan's mother who was lunging at her menacingly.
"roll!"
"Ouch, my God! Yu Zhiqing's face!"
"So white!"
