Chapter 837: Suffering the consequences of one's own actions (Part 9)
Liu Biao and the other three felt terrible after hearing what the captain said. They really wanted to refuse this punishment at this moment, but they knew that the captain had already given them a heavy sentence. If they continued to be ungrateful, their punishment would definitely be heavier than it was now. So they nodded to the captain to show that they accepted the punishment.
After hearing what the captain said, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Biao and the other three with sympathy. At the same time, she secretly decided in her heart that during the three months that Liu Biao and the other four were carrying manure, she would give them leave and would resolutely not let them come to her house.
"Captain, how can you not send Liu Biao and the others to the police station? They have committed a serious crime, and you are covering them up." When Li Li heard the captain say that he would not send Liu Biao and the others to the police station, she immediately questioned the captain excitedly.
The captain's face suddenly turned ugly after hearing what Li Li said. The thing he hated most as a captain was being accused of abusing his power for personal gain. Li Li seemed to want to kill him.
"Li Li, listen to me carefully. Lu Xiaoxiao is the victim. She has the right to decide whether to send Liu Biao and the others to the police station. Since Lu Xiaoxiao said that she would not send Liu Biao and the others to the police station, I naturally have nothing to say. So the sheltering you mentioned does not exist at all." The captain said to Li Li in a cold tone.
After hearing what the captain said, Li Li knew that the decision of whether to send Liu Biao and the others to the police station was in Lu Xiaoxiao's hands, so she immediately walked up to Lu Xiaoxiao and said, "Lu Xiaoxiao, why don't you send Liu Biao and the others to the police station?"
"They promised to help me work for a year, why should I send them to the police station?"
"They are the ones who want to harm you. If you let them go like this, aren't you afraid that they will come and harm you again?"
"Of course I'm not afraid. If I can catch them once, I can catch them a second time. But I'm curious about something. Since you said that Liu Biao and his men sneaking into my house to teach me a lesson had nothing to do with you, then why do you care so much about whether I send Liu Biao and his men to the police station or not?"
Li Li panicked a little after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said. Fortunately, Chen Qingqing pinched her arm hard to calm her down. After she calmed down, her brain worked quickly and she thought of a reason every once in a while.
"Lu Xiaoxiao, we are both educated youth. Although we don't live together, I still care about you, so I will naturally worry about your safety."
After hearing what Li Li said, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sneer in her heart, then she looked at Li Li and said, "Li Li, thank you for your concern, but I won't send Liu Biao and the others to the police station, because Liu Biao and the others are from Tianshui Village, and it's not even the New Year yet. If I send Liu Biao and the others to the police station now, how will the people in the surrounding villages view Tianshui Village?"
"Well said." The captain spoke immediately after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
"Captain, since I, Lu Xiaoxiao, bought a house and settled in Tianshui Village, I am a member of Tianshui Village. I will naturally not do anything to discredit Tianshui Village."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the captain smiled for the first time today. He looked at Lu Xiaoxiao and said, "Lu Xiaoxiao, you are very good. On behalf of everyone in Tianshui Village, I welcome you to join Tianshui Village."
"Thank you, Captain." After hearing what the captain said, Lu Xiaoxiao knew that from today on, the captain would treat her as a person from Tianshui Village, instead of treating her as an educated youth as before.
It seems that she has to thank Chen Qingqing very much. If it weren't for Chen Qingqing's calculations, how could she have gained so many benefits?
