Seeing that Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan were about to go back with Uncle Li, Du Manjun quickly winked at the people behind him.

Really, if they just leave like this, what will happen to his plan? The people behind him are stupid. Why are they so tough?

"Hiroo Kotake, wait a minute. Going into the mountains may not be dangerous. Let's just stay where we were last time. Don't go in. Even if there are dangerous animals, they will run away when they hear the sound of the tractor."

Among this group of people, there are still some people with a better attitude, and there are some people who really need to go to the mountains to collect some firewood to spend the winter well.

"Moreover, Manjun said that we won't let you go for nothing. If we find wild vegetables and mushrooms, we'll pick them and give them to you. If we see any animals, we'll catch them and give them to you. After the spring, you two will go to the capital, and you'll need money a lot. In addition, no one of us will give you another dollar, a total of 25 dollars, so we won't let you go for nothing."

They had already discussed it when they came. Among the group of people, some played the good cop and some played the bad cop, using both soft and hard tactics.

Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan stopped walking. They really needed money, but 25 was nothing to them now.

But who would complain about having too much money?

[Why did Du Manjun go to so much trouble to get my husband and I to go up the mountain? He even gave us money. If something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. He is either after money or he wants to kill us.]

Xu Haonan feels the same way.

"Do we really have to go, to get $25 for doing nothing?"

Du Manjun's eyes flickered. He thought the other party had loosened up a bit, and a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that he wanted to suppress it, but he couldn't control it at all.

He was afraid that the other party would change his mind again, so he hurriedly followed up.

"If you think 25 is too little, I'll personally pay another 20 bucks. All you have to do is come with us and drive a tractor."

[She's still asking for more money. There are so many people in the village who can drive a tractor. Why did she have to find Haonan? This must be a complicated matter.]

Shen Zhizhu tried to speak.

"I didn't expect the village chief's son to be so generous. He really spent a lot of money to make the villagers feel safe when going up the mountain. Then I won't go. It's so cold and I want to stay at home."

Du Manjun didn't expect Shen Zhizhu to praise him, and he didn't know how to react for a moment. But when he heard that Shen Zhizhu didn't want to go out, he quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

Those who really wanted to go up the mountain did not make things difficult for Shen Zhizhu.

"Du Manjun has a hard time. His father did something wrong. He said that he would replace the former village chief, forgive everyone's sins, serve everyone for a few years, and then take the exam to go to a big city. He is a good person. The weather is cold, and it is normal for a girl like you to be afraid of the cold. It's better for you to stay at home. We will go early and come back early."

Shen Zhizhu's question made them think that he agreed to let Xu Haonan go. They all knew that Xu Haonan especially listened to Shen Zhizhu.

Now that Shen Zhizhu has given in, the matter is settled. Anyway, the one they want to have a sense of security with is Xu Haonan. If others don't want to go, then they can just rest at home. They have no objection.

Their lack of opinion does not mean Du Manjun is willing.

"Xiao Zhu, why don't you go? You're smart, and I can talk to you if anything comes up. Besides, you two are newlyweds, so it would be worrying for Xu Haonan to go up the mountain alone. It's 45 yuan, you can't go alone."

Shen Zhizhu raised her eyebrows. She knew that Du Manjun had bad intentions.

[Okay, it’s a hammer. The other party is coming for the two of us. I don’t know if it’s revenge or they want to kill us. They insist that Haonan drive the tractor, or the tractor breaks down, or... wait, the tractor breaks down? ]

She looked heavy-hearted. Could it be that Du Manjun had taken them to the mountain and caused an accident with the tractor in order to kill them?

She felt that this was very possible, and she shouldn't think of human nature as so ugly, but Du Zaide suggested that Shen Xiaojie set fire to them.

It is not impossible that Du Manjun wanted to avenge his father and kill them.

After hearing Shen Zhizhu's thoughts, Xu Haonan thought it was very likely. He often hunted in the back mountain, and after a battle with a wild boar, he was more sensitive to malice than ordinary people.

He could clearly see the calculation and malice in Du Manjun's eyes.

"No, take the money back. As far as I know, you, Du Manjun, can drive a tractor. According to what you said, the sound of the tractor will definitely scare away the animals around. Then there will be no danger. You can go by yourselves."

Since he knew there was such a possibility, he had to avoid it. He didn't want Shen Zhizhu and himself to take this risk.

Du Manjun lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs.

"Are you still blaming my father? He was just confused for a moment. I went to see him a few days ago and he said he was very regretful and shouldn't have done such an evil thing on impulse. He told me to do my best to compensate you."

"The night I came back, I brought a basket of things to visit you. Aunt Li opened the door for me. We have realized our mistakes. I will do my best to serve you in the next three years. You two are the ones that your father is most worried about, and you will leave here soon. I want to compensate you as much as possible."

Du Manjun's tone was ups and downs, and he sounded very sincere. I don't know what was going on in his mind, but he actually cried.

"Please give me a chance to make amends. Let me apologize to you sincerely on behalf of my father."

He bowed 90 degrees and looked very serious.

Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan looked at each other and saw caution in each other's eyes.

[For someone like Du Manjun who doesn't take others seriously to bow in front of so many people, you can imagine how big his plans are.]

The group of people who had previously scolded Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan suddenly felt a surge of justice and stood by Du Manjun's side.

"45 yuan doesn't even pay you. You really think you are ordinary people. You are so high and mighty. I have apologized. What else do you want?"

"That's right, isn't it just a trip to the mountains with everyone? You don't have to do anything, and you can get wild vegetables and mushrooms, and you can also make money. I don't know what you are being so pretentious about."

There was urgency in their eyes, and they wished that the forty-plus yuan was given to them.

Xu Haonan still wanted to refuse. Since it was obviously aimed at them, they should just avoid it. Anyway, it wouldn't be long before they could leave here.

"Okay, where and at what time shall we meet tomorrow? Haonan and I will definitely be there."

Du Manjun looked up with some surprise. He didn't expect that the first person to agree would be Shen Zhizhu. He no longer had any hope.
