"Dayong! What nonsense are you spouting! Put the knife down right now!"
When Lu Mingfa saw Zhao Dayong acting like this, he felt a headache coming on and quickly came out to stop him.
Zhao Dayong glanced at Lu Mingfa, then at Aunt Zhang and Lu Xiaolan, and suddenly threw the knife on the ground, squatted down, grabbed his hair, and started crying.
"You can't bully people like this! You're trying to drive my whole family to their deaths! Lingdang is such a good child, how can you treat her like this! What are you up to! Do you want to drive my whole family to their deaths before you're satisfied!"
Seeing Zhao Dayong, a grown man, squatting on the ground and crying his heart out, many people couldn't help but feel sorry for him and looked at Aunt Zhang and Lu Xiaolan with condemning eyes.
Someone in the crowd said, "Tsk tsk, the captain's family is really powerful. Look at them, they're driving someone to their death!"
"Exactly! If Lu Xiaolan didn't have a father who's the brigade leader, would she dare to be so arrogant and bully people like this?"
"I think our Daqingshan Village is about to become famous. Soon the whole commune will know that our village's brigade leader's family drove someone to their death."
"With someone like this as the brigade leader, I don't think our village will ever be able to win the title of advanced village!"
"..."
Upon hearing these words, Lu Mingcai finally realized something was wrong, but by then it was too late to smooth things over.
He tried to reach out to Zhao Dayong, but Zhao Dayong shoved him away, showing him no respect whatsoever.
Seeing that Zhao Dayong was about to completely break ties with him, Lu Mingcai panicked and glared fiercely at Lu Xiaolan: "Look what you've done! Hurry up and apologize to Zhao Lingdang and your Uncle Dayong!"
Lu Xiaolan was furious, pointing at her face and saying, "Dad, look at my face! Zhao Lingdang beat me up like this, and you still want me to apologize to her? Why should I!"
Aunt Zhang chimed in from the side, "It was just a few words of argument, why beat someone up like this? Why resort to such violence?"
Lu Mingcai was absolutely furious with those two blind fools!
What kind of time is this to be arguing like this!
Zhao Dayong wiped his face and stood up from the ground. "No need to apologize! We can't accept that!"
He grabbed Zhao Lingdang's hand and was about to leave.
Lu Mingcai quickly stepped in to stop them, smiling obsequiously, "Brother Dayong, don't bother with these short-sighted fools. I'll teach them a lesson later to get revenge for you..."
Zhao Dayong flung Lu Mingcai's hand away and said coldly, "No need! You, surnamed Lu, you're just relying on being the brigade leader. Someone like you doesn't deserve to be the brigade leader at all! Bah!"
After he finished speaking, he spat on the ground and pulled Zhao Lingdang away.
Lu Mingcai was publicly humiliated, and his face turned ashen.
He turned around and glared fiercely at Aunt Zhang and Lu Xiaolan, "What are you still standing here for? Get your ass home right now!"
What a disgrace!
Aunt Zhang and Lu Xiaolan were scolded and were about to leave when Ye Weiwei stopped them: "Wait! Settle the score first before you go!"
The crowd parted to make way, revealing Huo Jiang, Huo Xiao, and Ye Weiwei, who had already been placed on the door panel.
The speaker was Ye Weiwei.
Lu Mingcai got a headache as soon as he heard Ye Weiwei's voice. He had just been humiliated by Zhao Dayong and his daughter, and now he was even more sullen. He asked with a dark face, "What accounts do you want to settle?"
"Give me two hundred yuan for my second brother's injuries, considering we're from the same village. I won't ask for more."
"What?!" Aunt Zhang shrieked when she heard Ye Weiwei ask for two hundred yuan. "Are you dreaming?! What injury requires two hundred yuan in compensation? Don't try to extort money from me!"
Lu Mingcai also angrily said, "Ye Zhiqing, are you treating us like suckers?"
Lu Xiaolan was furious. She felt that nothing good ever came of her ever meeting Ye Weiwei!
Ye Weiwei is a jinx!
She shouted, "It has nothing to do with me... Zhao Lingdang knocked him down, not me... You should ask Zhao Lingdang to pay for it..."
Ye Weiwei sneered: "It's because you didn't want to be in the back and wanted to take Zhao Lingdang's place. Zhao Lingdang didn't want to, so you pushed Zhao Lingdang out. That's why Zhao Lingdang bumped into my second brother. If you hadn't pushed Zhao Lingdang, would my second brother have fallen while walking normally?"
If you kill someone with a knife, are the police going to arrest you instead of the knife?
"Ye Zhiqing is right! I saw that it was you who bullied Zhao Lingdang and pushed her out, which caused Huo Jiang to be knocked down."
“I saw it too, it has nothing to do with Zhao Lingdang.”
"To say that Huo Jiang is really unlucky is an understatement. He had just recovered from his injury when he got hurt again."
"This is adding insult to injury! I saw him fall to the ground and couldn't get up. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak."
"That must be quite a serious injury. Huo Jiang is a real man, otherwise, how could he have done that?"
"It was clearly Lu Xiaolan who hurt someone, and she was just pointing her finger at the other person and cursing them with those filthy words. No wonder even an honest child like Zhao Lingdang couldn't stand it and lost her temper."
"To be honest, Lingdang is a very honest and easy-going child. She fell to the ground and twisted her ankle and couldn't get up. Luckily, Ye Zhiqing helped her up and set her bone."
"Oh dear! Why did that bell just leave without saying a word? They should at least compensate us for something!"
"That's why this kid is so honest! If it were me, I wouldn't let it go so easily!"
"Pay up! You absolutely have to pay up!"
Lu Mingcai's face turned ashen upon hearing the whispers around him.
He glanced at Ye Weiwei, then at Huo Xiao, and finally at Huo Jiang, forcing a smile as he said, "Xiao Lan was indeed in the wrong. Two hundred yuan, right? Okay! I'll have your aunt send the money over later..."
"Husband!" Aunt Zhang was furious when she heard that Lu Mingcai had agreed so readily.
That's two hundred yuan!
How can you just give away such a large sum of money like that!
Huo Jiang's worthless life isn't even worth two hundred yuan. He just fell down, and he should only get ten or eight yuan at most. How dare he ask for two hundred!
She suspected that her husband had lost his mind from anger!
Fearing his wife might say something that would provoke public anger, Lu Mingcai quickly shouted, "What are you yelling about! Get your ass home right now!"
Seeing that Lu Mingcai was truly angry, Aunt Zhang dared not utter another word and slunk away with Lu Xiaolan.
Lu Mingcai smiled ingratiatingly at Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao, but seeing that neither of them paid him any attention, he turned to Huo Jiang and said insincerely, "Huo Jiang, I'm sorry to have troubled you. I'll definitely teach that girl Xiao Lan a lesson when I get back to get revenge for you!"
Ye Weiwei scoffed, "Then you really need to teach that captain a lesson. Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk, or who knows what trouble Lu Xiaolan might cause next time. Don't push an honest person too far, or you'll end up like the Sun family, who burned everything down. Don't you think so?"
