When Zhou Yunzhou got off work and went to record his work points, accountant Li Changbing was apparently accompanying his daughter to record work points, but in fact he was waiting for Zhou Yunzhou to come over after work.
When Li Xiaomei saw Zhou Yunzhou, she hid behind Li Changbing in fear and then recorded Zhou Yunzhou's work points.
Li Changbing felt so distressed when he saw his daughter's frightened look. If he really asked his daughter to kneel down and apologize to his wife as Zhou Yunzhou said, his daughter would lose her dignity. She wasn't even married yet.
Li Changhe smiled apologetically, "Yunzhou, uncle heard from Xiaomei. It was Xiaomei who did the wrong thing. Uncle apologizes to you on her behalf. She is still young and naive. Please forgive her this time."
Zhou Yunzhou put the farm tools in the corner, then patted the dirt off his hands and said, "As long as she does what I say, I won't do anything to her. Just because she's young, she can just talk nonsense? If I remember correctly, she's a year older than my wife."
Zhou Yunzhou was about to leave after he finished speaking. His wife was still waiting for him at home. Li Changbing quickly stopped him and said, "Yunzhou, Yunzhou, I will definitely control her from now on and will never let her act so recklessly again. If she does it again, I will definitely not forgive her."
"Oh, your daughter might be very patient. She even asked me to think about the consequences of offending her. Uncle Changbing, I just want to know what the consequences will be for me. Tell me, should I be worried, or should you, the accountant, be worried?"
Li Changbing was also very worried. This damn girl was really spoiled. How could she dare to say anything?
Li Changbing suddenly remembered something and turned around to slap Li Xiaomei twice. "Apologize! You have done something wrong and you should bear the consequences. Apologize quickly."
Li Xiaomei has been spoiled by Li Changbing's wife since she was a child, and she has a bad temper. Now that Li Changbing beat her in front of so many people, she naturally refused to accept it.
"Dad, why did you hit me? I'm going to tell Mom that you hit me for a stranger," Li Xiaomei said crying.
However, Zhou Yunzhou only thought her voice was noisy. He scratched his ears with a sly smile and said, "Are you two done yet? If you don't apologize to my wife and clear my name in front of the villagers, I won't settle with you if my wife is even slightly unhappy."
Li Changbing asked his eldest son and second son to hold Li Xiaomei down and make her kneel down to apologize. After all, she was his sister, and his eldest son Li Zhong and second son Li Guo could not bear to do it.
"Dad, why do you treat my little sister like this? Why should we be afraid of Zhou Yunzhou when so many people in our family are like him?" Li Zhongxin was dissatisfied. Why should she listen to Zhou Yunzhou?
Li Guo was also unwilling to accept it. He didn't believe that Zhou Yunzhou could do anything to their family alone. He was just a wild child who was not loved by his father or mother.
Zhou Yunzhou smiled nonchalantly, "Alright, it's your freedom to apologize or not. We'll just wait and see. Don't worry, you'll soon know why your father is afraid of me."
Li Changbing asked Zhou Yunzhou to really expose the matter to him, otherwise he would be too embarrassed to face anyone in the village.
Li Changbing glared at his two sons, "Do as I say. I'm the father, and you're the boss? Make her kneel down and apologize."
More and more people came to the warehouse to deliver farm tools and record their work points. Li Guo and Li Zhong could only listen to Li Changbing and force Li Xiaomei to kneel down.
Li Xiaomei couldn't struggle free, and her crying voice became hoarse, especially when she saw Ruan Zhiqing, whom she had a crush on, in the crowd. She felt that she had lost all her face and would never be able to see Ruan Zhiqing again.
"I don't just want her to kneel down. I want her to apologize in front of the villagers. If my wife has any misunderstandings, this matter will not be over."
Li Changhe gritted his teeth and hardened his heart, slapping Li Xiaomei again. "Speak, apologize loudly and explain what happened clearly."
Li Xiaomei was forced to kneel on the ground by Li Guo and Li Zhong, sobbing and apologizing to Zhou Yunzhou, "I'm sorry, Comrade Zhou Yunzhou, I ruined your reputation by talking nonsense. I solemnly apologize to you.
The story that Comrade Zhou Yunzhou liked me and I rejected him was a fabrication I made up to satisfy my own vanity. He never even looked me in the eye, nor did he pay any attention to me. I hope everyone will stop discussing this behind my back. We never had any relationship from the beginning to the end."
After she finished speaking, Li Xiaomei looked at Zhou Yunzhou viciously and asked through gritted teeth, "Is this enough? What else do you want?"
Zhou Yunzhou looked like he was watching the fun. "Uncle Changbing, I see your daughter is not young anymore. Any decent-looking man in our village must have had some affair with her. I don't know if it has affected her reputation, but she has definitely affected the reputation of the men in our village."
After Zhou Yunzhou said this, the mothers of several men who were previously rumored to have fallen in love with Li Xiaomei but were rejected by her were unhappy.
"Grandma's legs, you're the one who ruined my family's reputation, you bitch."
"How shameless! An unmarried girl dares to ruin others' reputation and elevate herself. Do you think your reputation as Li Xiaomei is so good? You are an unmarriageable scum."
Several old women pointed at Li Xiaomei and cursed her, spitting all over her face. If Li Guo, Li Zhong and Li Changbing had not protected her, these old women would have torn Li Xiaomei apart.
Wang Ergou then added fuel to the fire, saying, as Zhou Yunzhou had taught him, "Uncle Accountant, I think your daughter has ruined the reputations of so many unmarried men. If you don't compensate these aunts, it will be difficult to shut up the villagers. I think they should be compensated for their emotional distress."
Although the women in the village didn't know what mental damages were, they knew that Wang Ergou was helping Zhou Yunzhou deal with Li Xiaomei.
"Yes, they must compensate us, or we will sue the Commune."
"Not only will I report this to the commune, but tomorrow I'll spread the news to all the nearby villages. I wonder if your old girl can still find a husband."
Things were getting increasingly out of control. Li Changbing could only suppress his anger and comfort everyone, "Whatever compensation you guys say, our family will do our best. Xiaomei is naive, so don't be angry."
Wang Ergou shouted from the crowd, "He's got to pay ten or eight dollars in compensation, otherwise his reputation will be ruined. In order to explain what happened to his reputation, he has to explain who caused it."
"Yes, you must compensate my family ten dollars."
"My family also has to pay ten yuan because my son was slandered and the betrothal gift cost an extra twenty yuan. Asking your family for ten yuan is already a bargain for you."
Li Changbing's head was about to explode when he heard this, and he almost fell to the ground. How much money would this cost?
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth before agreeing, "Okay, I'll give everyone the money this afternoon. I also hope that everyone will keep their promise and not spread this. My daughter's reputation cannot be ruined."
Although the matter was resolved and these people promised not to spread the news, they still cursed Li Xiaomei after handing in the farm tools and recording the work points.
"Bah, what a thing, if there's no mirror there's always urine, all those bugs want to get their hands on my son."
"What can it be? It's nothing. His daughter's reputation can't be ruined, but then my son's reputation can be ruined? He deserves to be unmarried."
