Chapter 856 872: No compensation, just a fat pig
Zou Gui and his wife felt that no one was more capable of talking to themselves than him, so they did not dare to argue with him anymore, fearing that he really meant it as a shock fee. "Secretary Zou, are you just going to watch them blackmail our family?"
"Secretary Zou, where are the broken things in my house? Will it be in vain if they come to our house and beat us up?"
"Why are you howling? Who said you are not good people?" Secretary Zou looked at Zhou Datian and whispered, "More than three hundred is a bit much. Look at the three of his family members. Their faces are yellow. I know they must have been beaten a lot.
Lao Zhou, talk to the youngest Zhou family and ask them to pay a small amount of compensation for my sake!"
"What do you think is appropriate?" Zhou Datian pointed at the old man leaning against the chair and added fuel to the fire, "My second father is in his seventies and almost eighty this year. He watched his great-grandson faint and collapsed to the ground in panic.
Jiaming's grandmother was also terrified and was still lying in the house! Fortunately, they had good medicine, otherwise, now it would not be a matter of asking his family to compensate for the medicine. "
"Zou Xin was wrong. He shouldn't have attacked a child."
Secretary Zou pondered for a moment and whispered, "Old Zhou, the bicycle's fender is just scratched, just go get a new one. I think the old man is in good spirits, I'll ask them to pay 100 yuan, and forget about the damage your people did, what do you think?"
Zhou Datian shook his head, "One hundred is too little, so, one hundred and eighty, no less!"
Secretary Zou said, "One hundred and twenty. If it's OK, I'll tell their family. If not, I won't care and just let them go to the police station."
They ask for a sky-high price and pay a low price. If they can pay less, it will also save the face of their own village.
Zhou Datian pointed at Zou Gui's family and said, "What if we agree and they don't give us face? What should we do?"
Secretary Zou patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, if he dares not to give it to me, I will let Zhou Huaian go to the pigpen to pull the pigs!"
"Okay! I'll talk to the youngest brother!" Zhou Datian called Zhou Huaian and told him what Secretary Zou said, "Youngest brother, for the sake of uncle and Secretary Zou, let's spare their family this time, okay?"
"Zhou Laoyao, you are doing big things, you don't care about those little things, be magnanimous and don't bother with that kind of person..." Secretary Zou kept putting high hats on his head without paying any money.
Zhou Huaian hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. They must apologize to my nephew. If they do it again, it won't just be the door panels that are removed."
"Don't worry, if it happens again next time, I won't need you to tell me, I'll just find someone to tie him up and send him to the police!"
Seeing that he agreed, Secretary Zou patted him on the shoulder happily and said, "I knew that Brother Zhou was the most reasonable person. In the past two years, several nearby villages have become rich thanks to you. This year, our village has built more than ten brick houses."
Zhou Huaian smiled slightly, "How could I have that ability? It's just that the boss in the provincial capital gave me face!"
"You are so modest!"
Secretary Zou walked up to Zou Gui and said, "I spoke well of you for a long time, and with the help of Secretary Zhou from Fu Niu, we finally negotiated the price down to 120 yuan.
You should quickly take out the money to compensate them and apologize to them, otherwise I will not care about it and let them arrest your son and take him to the police station."
Zou Xin's mother was dissatisfied and said, "They came to our house and beat us up, and they also asked us to apologize to them. Is there still a book for sale in the world?"
Zou Gui's face darkened. "Secretary Zou, Zhou Laoyao's family is very sinister. They beat people in places that cannot be seen. My husband and I, as well as our eldest brother, were beaten so badly that our bodies were in pain. They have to compensate us for those things."
Secretary Zou said in a deep voice: "Three hundred and eighteen, and it was negotiated down to one hundred and twenty. Do you think they compensated you? If you feel sorry for the money, don't encourage your children to go out and cause trouble, otherwise you will be shot sooner or later.
Zou Xin, for your grandma's sake, I'm going to make it clear to you. We are under strict control now. If you dare to touch Mina, you will be sent to jail for life!"
Zou Xin was shocked. "I didn't. Zhou's kid picks me up and drops me off every day. If you don't believe me, ask him."
Secretary Zou looked at him with disdain, and then said to Zou Gui, "Don't just stand there, go get the money."
"I have no money!" Zou Gui acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"Hmph~" Secretary Zou snorted coldly, "It's easy if they don't have money. I'll ask them to go to the pigpen to pull pigs." After that, he turned around and left.
"Secretary Zou!" Zou Gui hurriedly pulled him, "Eighty, I'll give you eighty."
Secretary Zou ignored him and said, "Zhou Laoyao, you guys go..."
"Here! Pulling pigs, right?" Zhou Huaian looked at him with shining eyes. The other members of the Zhou family were ready to go, waiting to go to the pigpen to pick out the fat pigs.
“No, no, no!” Zou Gui said hurriedly, “Secretary Zou, I’ll give it to you! I’ll give it to you!”
"You won't cry until you see the coffin!" Secretary Zou rolled his eyes at him in disgust, "Go get it quickly!"
"Oh!" Zou Gui walked into the house listlessly. After a long while, he came out with a stack of money and handed it to Secretary Zou, "One hundred and twenty."
Secretary Zou grabbed a piece of the Great Unity and pulled it twice. Seeing that he was reluctant to let go, he said, "If you don't want to give it to me, forget it."
"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!" Zou Gui let go of her hand with a pained look on his face.
"Hurry up and ask your Zou Xin to apologize to the child!" Secretary Zou took it with a mocking look in his eyes, turned around and handed it to Zhou Huaian.
Zou Gui was so angry that he kicked Zou Xin, who was sitting with his head down, and grabbed his ear, "Hurry up and apologize to him. You've been causing trouble for me every day!"
Zou Xin glanced at Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yiding who were staring at him with ill intentions, then stood up and walked over to Zhou Jiaming listlessly, "I'm sorry!"
"Don't bully those younger than you in the future!" Zhou Jiaming raised his head and pulled Zhou Huairong, "Old man, let's go back."
"Everybody, we're back!" Zhou Huairong wanted to put on a full show, so he squatted down, carried him on his back and walked out.
"We're back!" Zhou Huaian pulled Yang Chunyan, went over and helped the old man up with Zhou's father. Zhou Huaishan carried the bicycle, and the group walked out in a large group.
Yang Chunyan said to Zhao Meina: "If you are afraid, just move to Funiu."
Zhao Meina held her arm and said, "Don't be afraid, there's a dog at home. Uncle Yi Ding also said that he would set a trap under my fence later and beat the shit out of him if he dared to come."
"Yes, cripple him!"
"Aunt, you can raise the half-grown chickens at home. The Zou family will call them back and sell the grown ones for money."
"Okay, go back and weigh it later and I'll give you the money."
"No need. The chickens are all earned. Let your family raise them and eat cured chicken during the New Year."
"Okay! Auntie will make you a cured chicken!"
Everyone sent her to the door, carried her backpack and went to the tractor on the farm road.
Zhao Huifang held a flashlight and looked at Zhou Jiaming distressedly, "Chunyan, look, Jiaming's face is getting more and more swollen."
Yang Chunyan took a look and said, "The bruises have spread out and will heal faster."
"Will his face be disfigured?" Zhao Huifang asked worriedly.
"Won't!"
Zhou Huaishan said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Men don't rely on their looks to make a living!"
Zhou Jiaming smiled and said, "My father said that good looks can go well with rice. I can eat a big bowl of rice just by looking at the person, without having to cook."
"Nonsense! A man earns his living by his ability." Old Master Zhou glared at Zhou Huaian in annoyance, "Don't listen to him, he keeps coming up with all kinds of crooked ideas every day."
"Hahaha!" Zhou Datian and his group laughed. "The youngest one is really good-looking, just like the pretty boy on TV."
Zhou Huaian at the cockpit said with a smile: "My fellow uncles and brothers, I am a real man, not a gigolo!"
Zhou Huaiqing laughed, "Youngest brother, you looked like a real man a few days ago, but since you haven't driven the tractor to collect the goods, your face has become as pale as a gigolo again."
"Nonsense, I've always been like this, okay?"
A tractor driver was walking back laughing. He passed by a house with a dog, causing the dog in the yard to bark non-stop.
The young guys whistled and knocked on the car board, scaring the dog so much that he hid at the door and didn't dare to come out.
Ten minutes later, the tractor arrived at the brigade's drying dam. Zhou Huaian exchanged a few polite words with Xu Hongbing and others, saw them off, and arrived at Zhou Yiding's house. He got off the tractor and went with him to get the animal traps back to Guanyin.
Zhou Huaijun drove the tractor and took the people to Tiankan Road. He watched the uncles and aunts who came to help walk away before driving the tractor back home.
When Zhou's mother heard the noise, she quickly opened the gate and asked, "Are you back? Is Jiaming in pain?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore!" Zhou Jiaming said with a smile, "Grandma, a lot of people from our family went there, and his yard was full. Apart from his two brothers, there was no one else to help."
Mother Zhou nodded happily, "Grandma told you before that brothers and sisters should unite and not fight among themselves. Only then will there be someone to help you when you encounter problems. Do you understand now?"
Zhou Jiaming nodded, "Got it! If anyone in school bullies Xiaowen or Xiaoru, we will help them."
Zhou Xiaowen nodded, "Last time my deskmate bullied me, Xiaokang and Xiaoru helped me, and he didn't dare to bully me anymore."
Zhou Jiakang looked at Xiao Jiu'er and Xiao Long who were lying side by side in the crib, "Aunt Yao, Aunt San, their younger brother is so young. When they are in the first grade, we will all be in junior high school. Who will help them then?"
Yang Chunyan laughed and said, "Two boys were bullied, and others were laughing to death."
Li Qiuyue nodded, "That's right, we still have to study tomorrow, you all should go home and take a shower and go to bed."
Zhao Huifang said, "Grandpa, let's go back to sleep too."
"Go back! Boil an egg for Jiaming!" The old man handed the money Zhou Huaian gave him to Zhou Huairong, "Use it to buy some wine and food, and call the uncles and brothers who helped, the Xu family, and Lin Wu to have a meal."
Zhou Huairong took the money and said, "Okay, we'll go to town to buy it tomorrow."
Father Zhou thought about it and said, "A blacksmith must be strong himself, and brothers and sisters must unite. Think about it, when the Xiong family brought the cow to our house, none of the uncles and aunts stood up.
You have to understand that uncles and aunts are willing to help for free because they want to give us face. Our family has only gotten better in the past two years, so our relatives and friends pay more attention to our family."
Yang Chunyan's sister-in-law thought about it and felt that it was true. When the Xiong family came to visit, none of their uncles or friends came to help.
The old man took two puffs of his leaf cigarette and said, "Face is not given by anyone, you have to earn it yourself!"
"Yes!" Zhou Huairong and his three brothers responded and left with the children.
