Village Chief Zhou sighed and said, "Of course, I will ask them to return the money to you."
"Not only the money from selling Zhou Xiaoju, but also the money from smashing the herbs in my yard and kicking my cat to death. I have to pay for that."
“This…” Village Chief Zhou was a little embarrassed. “These herbs have been picked up, so they shouldn’t be used in any way, right? If I have to pay compensation for a stray cat, isn’t it a bit…”
From his point of view, he also felt that it was the fault of Zhou Shugen and his son. The key point was that asking for money was not easy. He was the village chief and his word did not count for everything!
"Uncle Zhou knows what this cat looked like when it came to my house, and you've seen what it looks like now. I spent a lot of money to raise it. And these Gastrodia elata in the yard were all dug out from the mountains. Good Chinese herbal medicines are divided into different qualities..." She picked up a piece and showed it to Village Chief Zhou. "These have been stepped on like this, and their quality is extremely poor. I see there is a medicinal material purchasing station in the town. If you don't believe me, Uncle Zhou, you can go to the town to ask what the price of Gastrodia elata is. Usually, when I treat the villagers, I think that everyone has a hard time, so I only charge a symbolic amount of money for food. Now someone is destroying it wantonly, you can't let me suffer this loss, right?"
Jiang Nian pressed on step by step, and Village Chief Zhou had nothing to say.
He sighed deeply and said, "I know you are right, it makes sense, but asking for money is not as easy as you think. Jiang Nian, I know you are a good girl. Since you came here, you have been really good to the people in our village. Our villagers also remember your kindness, but there are always some ignorant people in every village. I can only try my best to persuade you. If you can't get it, don't blame me."
She loves her cat, but to others, it is just a useless animal. If someone really cares about a cat, such a thing as kicking a cat to death would not happen.
As for those medicinal herbs, their appearance is only taken into consideration when they are sold. In the countryside, people use them for their own use, so who cares about this?
"It doesn't matter, Uncle Zhou, go ahead." Jiang Nian had no intention of making things difficult for him.
Life is peaceful, and she doesn't necessarily want to fight and kill, but the premise is that you don't force her.
You know, she is not a good person.
It was only after integrating the original owner's memories that he was inevitably influenced by her and became more kind.
Things like treating these villagers were something she would never have done before, let alone charging such a small amount of money, which was not even enough to buy medicine.
After Village Chief Zhou left, Niu Aixiang worriedly asked, "What if they refuse to pay the money?"
Zhou Xiaoju had a complicated expression, but was very sure, "They definitely won't give it to me, not even the money from selling me. I'm afraid the village chief will have made this trip in vain."
On the way back, she said that she would definitely return the 80 yuan to Jiang Nian, and at that time she did not expect Zhou Shugen to return the money.
Anyway, Jiang Nian must not be asked to bear this loss.
Li Rui sneered and joked to Zhao Heping, "I always thought the villagers here were all kind, but I didn't expect that there are even more shameless people than you. Even though I have only been in the countryside for a short time, I have seen all kinds of monsters and demons. It really was not a wasted trip!"
Zhao Heping is a man of deep scheming and thick skin, and he doesn't take Li Rui's words to heart at all.
"We are just getting started. There is still a long time to go. You will gain more experience in the future."
Niu Aixiang already felt very guilty towards Li Rui, and now she couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Zhao Heping, "Brother Heping, we really owe Li Rui this matter, please don't be like this."
