Chapter 503 Chapter 504: Loss of Money
"Tsk tsk!" Xu Hongbing stepped forward and looked at the Xiong family members. "He is so wicked. The youngest Zhou gets two yuan for the special one and one yuan for the last one. He only charges one or two dimes per pound. Fortunately, the boss doesn't believe him! Otherwise, we would have worked for nothing this winter."
"That's right. There isn't a single good person in the Xiong family. They never do good things and always think about harming others."
"Yes, I shouldn't have agreed to let Lao Xiong settle down in the Funiu Brigade..."
"You eat our food and live in our house, but you still want to destroy our jobs and drive the Xiong guy back to the mountains..."
"Yes, drive them out of the village, so they won't harm people here!"
Mother Zhou looked at the villagers who were shouting loudly and felt that the immoral things done by the Xiong family should be made known to everyone so that they would understand how evil the hearts of those bastards were!
Zhou Sufang finally understood what it meant when everyone pushed down the wall.
But this is not the old society anymore, and everyone is just making a fuss. No one has the right to drive them out of the village.
When Mr. and Mrs. Xiong realized that they had angered everyone, they hurriedly took their children and left.
Zhou Huaian stepped forward to stop them, "Wait! You must give an explanation today for your child's harm to the herbs!"
Gan Xiuqin still didn't realize it, "It wasn't us who did it. You scared my Guangyao. The kid was scared..."
"It was your two kids who destroyed the herbs in Zhou Laoyao's family. I saw it with my own eyes." Before he finished speaking, Grandpa Li and Li Guanghui's mother and husband squeezed into the crowd.
Xiong Guangyao saw that Mr. Li was so scared that he hid behind Zhou Sufang and grabbed her coat tightly, "Grandma, I don't want to sit in the detention room, I don't want to sit in the detention room..."
Zhou Sufang understood everything, but still pretended to know nothing, "What happened to Uncle Li? What did the Guangyao brothers do?"
Old Master Li said, "Old Xiong's family, the day before yesterday I went up the mountain to herd sheep and saw with my own eyes your two eldest grandsons chopping down other people's medicinal trees and cutting up all the grass and herbs all over the ground."
"As if they were not satisfied after chopping them down, they used sickles to chop down the fence and beat the herbs inside. If I hadn't seen and told them off, who knows how much of the Zhou family's herbs would have been destroyed by them."
"I am already over seventy years old. If anything I said here today is a lie, I will go to the hell of tongue-pulling after I die, and I will never be able to be reborn!"
Zhou Sufang hurriedly said: "Uncle Li, we don't mean that!"
Mr. Li said calmly: "I don't care what you mean, I have said what I need to say!"
Zhou Huaian stepped forward and said gratefully: "Thank you, old man, for your righteous and straightforward words!"
"Thank you, old man! It took a lot of effort for our family to grow those herbs at home. If they were all destroyed by them, a year's hard work would be wasted." Zhou's mother also said gratefully.
"You don't deserve my thanks!" Mr. Li waved his hand. "I just happened to see it. I just said a few words to the two kids and chased them away."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Last time, my Guanghui was attacked by a wild boar. Thanks to your youngest brother, he gave him the hemostatic medicine and helped to send him to the town without charging a penny. Thank you very much."
Li Guanghui's mother also said to Zhou's mother: "It was thanks to your youngest son last time, otherwise I don't know how much more suffering my Xiaohui would have suffered."
When the Xiong family members saw that the Zhou and Li families were talking politely and lively, Gan Xiuqin was so angry that she slapped Xiong Guangyao on the buttocks twice, "Puff! Puff!" The noise sounded a bit loud, but in fact, it was cold and he was wearing thick clothes, so it didn't hurt at all.
She hit him and cursed him, "You're going to die, you spendthrift. Our family doesn't even have money to buy meat for the New Year, and you still go out to cause trouble. Wait until the police catch you and lock you up."
Boss Bear lowered his eyes and watched in silence.
Xiong Guangyao avoided Gan Xiuqin by circling Zhou Sufang, "Grandma, I don't want to be in the detention room. Don't let the police arrest me and lock me up..."
"Why are you cursing him during the holidays?" Zhou Sufang hugged him and started crying, "Guangyao! Why are you so disobedient? Our family is in such a difficult situation now! Your grandfather is paralyzed in bed, and we are old and have no way to make money. What can we use to compensate him?"
Zhou Huaian looked at the performance coldly.
Zhou's mother remained silent. They had been pressuring their children for years, asking them to be tolerant and not to argue with others. In the end, they were bullied by others...
"Hey, my goodness!" Xu Hongbing said sarcastically, "Who are you beating the kid for? Shouldn't you pay for damaging someone else's herbs?"
Thinking about all the troubles he had suffered at the hands of those bastards of the Xiong family, he became so angry that his teeth were itching. It was clearly them who stole the things, but every time he got the blame.
The old people always say that evil will be punished, and good will be rewarded. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come. When the time comes, everything will be repaid! Now the retribution has come!
"That's right, you were cursing Auntie Zhou just now! You have nothing to say now, right? Give the money to Zhou Laoyao!"
Gan Xiuqin looked at Zhou Sufang and whispered, "Mom, what do you think we should do?"
A black-hearted woman acts like a mother when she wants money!
When giving us pension money, we kept cursing and asking us two old bones to just die. Do you think I don’t know?
Zhou Sufang said angrily: "How should I know? Your husband and I rely on you for support! It's none of my business. I'm leaving!" After saying that, she actually turned around and left.
Gan Xiuqin was dumbfounded when she saw this...
Boss Xiong looked at Zhou Huaian who was standing in front of him with his arms folded, then looked at the villagers gathered in front, thinking that if he didn't pay compensation, he might not be able to leave today.
But if I have to pay compensation, my family has no other way now. It is better to use every penny of the money we have saved. It is better to say a few nice words and apologize than to pay compensation with money.
Thinking of this, he said to Zhou Huaian, "Zhou Laoyao, I'm really sorry. We really didn't know that the two kids had ruined your family's herbs."
"We will take good care of them in the future and will never harm your herbs again. We are all from the same village, so we will meet each other sooner or later. Can you spare the two children this time?"
Zhou Huaian didn't expect that Boss Xiong was actually such a miser. Even at this point, he could still say such things with a shameless face.
He looked at him with a face full of sarcasm, "I still remember when your second son went to my house to steal cement and was caught by my husband and his men, what did your husband say in front of the brigade cadres? I was soft-hearted and let your second son go, but your family held a grudge against me and harmed my family time and time again."
Mother Zhou took over and said, "I don't want him to apologize, but he must pay me compensation! My family worked so hard to grow the herbs, and they finally survived. We were about to sell them in the spring, but your two little brats ruined them like that. You have to pay me compensation! Not a penny less!"
A villager nearby said, "Zhou Laoyao, ask him to pay the money! Let me tell you, last year my cow ate more than a dozen rapeseeds from your private plot, what did you say at that time!
They said that the rapeseed could produce several kilograms of rapeseed, and that they were yours to keep for seeds, and that they would grow a lot of rapeseed seedlings next year. My brothers pulled my cow and forced me to pay three dollars in compensation.
"Fuck! He is so mean! He asked someone to pay him three yuan for a dozen rapeseed seedlings. Zhou Laoyao's family has medicinal herbs and medicinal trees. Gold has a price but medicine is priceless. He must pay for it!"
Zhou Huaian looked at the silent Xiong family members with dark faces, "Two medicinal trees are five yuan each, and those herbs are ten yuan in total. Not a penny less!"
"It's already 20 yuan in total. Why?" Gan Xiuqin shouted in dissatisfaction, "The two kids just picked some incense and cut down two medicinal trees..."
The crowd said, “Tsk…”
Looking at everyone's contemptuous eyes, she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.
Mother Zhou glanced at the villagers who were watching, "Listen everyone, what did she curse me and Uncle Li just now? After all this time, we already know it clearly!"
She pointed at Gan Xiuqin and said, "Don't you know? How do you know that those are the fragrant herbs? I tell you, the herbs scattered in the forest have grown to a foot long, and they are all destroyed by your two little brats!"
"Yes! I knew it was my kid who did it, but I cursed him so viciously and said such ugly things!"
"There is no other person as shameless as this in the entire Funiu Brigade."
"Debt collector! Who asked you to destroy other people's herbs?" Boss Xiong was so angry that he slapped Xiong Guangyao in the face, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground.
"Ah... Woo woo..." Xiong Guangyao sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
He was still not satisfied, so he hit him again, "Twenty dollars! Do you know how long it takes me to earn twenty dollars? You debt collector, who made you want to do this..."
Oh! It is true that if they are not from the same family, they will not enter the same door.
Zhou Huaian looked at him coldly, "Boss Xiong, you don't have to beat the kids here in front of us. Just tell me today, your two kids ruined my herbs, are you going to compensate me or not?"
When Boss Xiong heard what he said, he suddenly remembered that when he was at Zhou's house, the old man asked Zhou Dasong to compensate for the cow, and now it has been returned.
"Mother Zhou, can you pay less? We really have no money left..."
"Not even a cent less! I'm saving those herbs for seeds, and I'm still losing money after paying twenty dollars."
Boss Xiong was dumbfounded, "..."
Gan Xiuqin started to cry poor, "My family doesn't even have money to buy meat for the New Year, where can I find 20 yuan to compensate your family..."
Zhou's mother said angrily: "That's your family's business, hurry up and pay the money, I still have to go back for lunch!"
Gan Xiuqin said with a bitter face, "Auntie Zhou, we have only given the old man 50 yuan for pension. We really have no money left at home. Please give me one day. I will go back to my parents' home to borrow money and send it to your family!" Then she pulled Xiong Guangyao, who was sitting on the ground, and left.
Zhou Huaian took two steps forward, "No! Bring me the money to compensate my family first and then leave!"
Boss Xiong stepped forward and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we'll go to your mother-in-law's house to borrow it and send it to you." Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Dalin, who was carrying a backpack, and said, "Uncle, uncle, lend me twenty yuan, and I'll pay you back after the New Year!"
Zhou Dalin's mouth twitched a few times, he glared at him, and whispered, "Where did I get the twenty dollars to lend you?"
Boss Xiong looked at his back and said, "You know, the money I borrowed from my mother-in-law's family hasn't been returned yet, and I even used up the money from the meat to give to my husband."
Zhou Dalin said angrily: "You lent the money to your mother-in-law, but you didn't lend it to me..."
Boss Xiong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go get it tomorrow and send it to you right away!"
Friends, now it has been changed back, please take a look again
