Chapter 287 Chapter 288: Sin
Father Zhou pointed at Xiong Er's wife and said, "Just now everyone heard from your second son's wife that it was Boss Ma who told you about the bezoar himself. Even when your second son came to my house to steal things, he confidently said that all these things in my house were bought with the money from selling your bezoar."
"If this matter is not made clear, my family will never have a peaceful life in the future. Today, while the brigade cadres are all here, let's go to Fangtian Brigade to confront Boss Ma and make this matter clear!"
After hearing this, Xiong Dahai looked at Zhou Sufang and cursed inwardly: "What a spendthrift woman! I told her not to talk about the bezoars, but she keeps talking about it all day long, saying that all the things in the Zhou family were bought with the money from selling the bezoars."
The second brother, the volcano stick, held a grudge against him and went to Zhou's house to steal things. You stole once and succeeded, so forget it! You are still not satisfied, so you come a second time.
And Ma Changgui, why did he mention the bezoar thing in front of the elder sister? If he didn't know about the bezoar, he would be happy that the sick cow was sold for the money of the healthy cow, and there would be no such trouble!
"Old Zhou, it was not Boss Ma who told me about the bezoar. When I heard about it, it had already spread throughout the team. I don't even know who was the first person to spread the rumor. How can I go to Boss Ma?"
Zhou's father said angrily: "You don't even know who said that, and you still come to my house to ask about the bezoar. Besides, the dead cow is sold to my family and it belongs to me. Even if we find the bezoar, it is none of your Xiong family's business.
You are saying without any evidence that my family took your bezoar? You are saying that my family bought my things by selling your bezoar? Where is your bezoar?
Let’s make it clear in front of the brigade cadres today! Otherwise, if you want to fight or sue, my Zhou family will accompany you! "
Xiong Dahai was so angry that he thought to himself: Who is the Zhou family's second branch originally from? Everyone in the Funiu Brigade knows it. If it weren't for the bezoar, how could you have the money to repair the brick house and buy a tractor in just a few months?
Secretary Xu also said, "Old Bear, we heard what you said just now. When Zhou Laoyao pushed your sick cow off a ridge and killed it, he was wrong, but the Zhou family should also compensate you for a healthy cow."
"Logically speaking, if your family took the money, the dead cow would belong to the Zhou family. Even if the Zhou family took out the bezoar from the cow's stomach, it would have nothing to do with you."
He thought to himself, your Xiong family is clearly bullying Zhou Dasong because he is honest, but you didn't expect that honest people will always have help from heaven.
Captain Zhou also said: "Old Bear, your family, the second branch of the Zhou family, and my family are all relatives. I would like to take the liberty to express my opinion today."
"I think you should find the person who spread the rumor that the Zhou family got the bezoars, and ask him whether he saw with his own eyes that the Zhou family got the bezoars out of the cow's stomach."
"If he didn't see it with his own eyes, but he spread rumors that the Zhou family got the bezoar, this person must be trying to mess with both of your families. Otherwise, your family would be happily preparing to build new houses for the third and youngest sons, and the second son would not do such a foolish thing as stealing things."
Accountant Ye saw that both of them were speaking in the Zhou family's favor, so he had to smooth things over, "Yes, Old Xiong, you and Old Zhou had already settled the matter amicably. But because of a word from that person, you two families are in trouble again, and your second son was also harmed."
Xiong Dahai also understood that Secretary Xu and Captain Zhou were on the side of the Zhou family. "What Secretary Xu said is right, and what Captain Zhou said also makes sense. I will go and find out tomorrow who is making up stories with bad intentions and causing unrest in my family and the Zhou family."
Then he bowed to Zhou's father and said, "Old Zhou, my family was wrong about the bezoar. Your family has never taken my bezoar. I will tell my family not to mention it again.
Please be merciful and spare my second son this time. If you have any conditions, please tell me and I will try my best to meet them."
Father Zhou said in a deep voice: "Old Bear, your second son came to my house last night and stole six bags of cement. If my family hadn't discovered it carefully, he would have come again tonight and tomorrow night. I don't know how much loss my family would have suffered."
"My condition is that your second son must apologize to my family. As for compensation, how should you decide?"
Xiong Dahai thought for a moment and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I promise to apologize! I will pay you three times the amount of the six bags of cement he took away. I hit you, so go to the hospital tomorrow to see where you're injured. I'll pay you whatever you deserve!"
Father Zhou said readily, "For the sake of Secretary Xu and Captain Zhou, and because we are all in the same team, I agree."
Xiong Dahai looked at the bruised and battered Xiong Laoer and said, "Please ask your third brother to release my second brother."
Father Zhou turned his head and looked at Zhou Huaishan, "Third brother, let the second bear go."
"Oh!" Zhou Huaishan let go of the hand that was holding Xiong Laoer.
Zhou Sufang immediately stepped forward to help him untie the ropes on his body. Looking at his face that was swollen like a pig's head, she asked distressedly: "Old Second, where does it hurt? Are there any bones that are injured?"
Xiong Laoer lowered his head, clenched his teeth and endured the pain without saying a word.
Xiong Dahai waited until the rope on him was untied, and said to him, "Come here, Lao Er, apologize to Uncle Zhou!"
"Why?" Xiong Laoer pulled the corner of his cracked lip and grimaced in pain. "I stole cement from his house, and they beat me up. I even lost one of my front teeth. And they want me to apologize? No way!"
Secretary Xu and his colleagues were stunned after hearing what they heard. After so many years in the brigade, they discovered today that the second son of the Xiong family is still an unreasonable volcano stick!
"Tsk~" Zhou Huaijun sneered, "How fucking bizarre! This is the first time in my life that I've seen a thief act so self-righteously."
Xiong Dahai glanced at the expressions of Secretary Xu and the others, and shouted at Xiong Laoer, "I'm telling you to apologize to your Uncle Zhou. Did you hear me?"
"No apology!" said Xiong Lao Er, and then he limped away.
"Stand up right there!" Zhou Huaishan rushed forward to stop him, "If you don't apologize today, you can't get away."
Xiong Lao Er looked at him and said, "If you have the guts, beat me to death and bury me today."
Zhou Huaishan raised his fist and said, "Okay, I'll beat you to death as payment!"
"Third brother, let him go!" Father Zhou grabbed him and said, "Our family doesn't need people like this to apologize."
Zhou Huaishan looked at him, "Why?"
Father Zhou said: "It's not worth dying for such a person!"
"That's right, it's not worth it!" Zhou's mother and Li Qiuyue also stepped forward and pulled him back.
The second bear limped away.
Zhou Sufang hurriedly followed with a flashlight, "Second brother, slow down, look at how you are beaten up and covered in wounds, what a sin..."
After seeing this, the old man felt that it would be a sin for any family to marry a woman like this!
Secretary Xu shook his head after reading it. With such family education, how could the Xiong family produce a good person?
After seeing this, Accountant Ye felt that he should not have come here.
Captain Zhou lowered his head and laughed secretly, the whole family jumped up and down, thinking that they had great abilities!
Xiong Dahai bowed to Zhou's father and said, "I'm sorry, Old Zhou. I will ask him to come and apologize to your family and compensate you. I will ask the eldest brother to send it to you when I get back."
Father Zhou glanced at him calmly and waved his hand, saying, "No need to apologize. Just send the rest to Accountant Ye."
"Yes!" Xiong Dahai agreed, and then said to Secretary Xu and the others, "Sorry for the poor woman's ignorance of etiquette."
Secretary Xu smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, you two families have explained the matter clearly, and we will go back to sleep."
Xiong Dahai and Xiong Laoda walked in a hurry as if there were dogs chasing them.
After thanking Secretary Xu and his men, Zhou's father asked Zhou Huaishan and his brothers to send them home.
