have no idea……"
Before he could finish speaking, Brother Mao glanced at him, immediately reduced the two taels of silver he had prepared to one tael, and handed it to him.
"This woman, for some reason, not only ran to Qijia Village, but also tried to kill herself by trying to run over the carriage."
The money was compensation from the owner of the carriage, who wanted her to see a doctor.
As a result, she bled profusely from her lower body, and I realized I couldn't take her to the hospital, so I brought her back to you.
After these days, the people of Xiaozhuang also learned that there was a plague in Qijia Village.
Upon hearing that Zhuang Zilan had gone over there to commit suicide, regardless of what had happened, they all retreated, fearing they would be infected.
Even Zhuang Zilan's brothers were like that.
He had seen his sister die and then brought back to the hospital, and he wondered if he could ask the other party for some compensation.
When the tael of silver was stuffed into his hand, he was about to say it was too little when he heard this.
This left him in a dilemma: should he accept the silver ingot, or not?
At the same time, he also knew that the other party would definitely have to pay more than that.
However, they were all pocketed by the person in front of them.
However, these two were soldiers who worked for the government, and he, an ordinary civilian, really couldn't win against them.
Therefore, he had no choice but to accept the one or two taels of silver, while simultaneously forcing a grateful smile on his face.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you so much!"
Brother Mao had previously seen that his eyes were full of disgust for the dead man on the cart.
Therefore, he stayed a little longer than he intended to leave.
Upon hearing this, he said, "My brother and I went through a lot of trouble to bring the deceased back; you should really thank us."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the silver ingot.
The village chief of Xiaozhuang, seeing this, could easily understand what it meant.
He immediately pulled Zhuang Zilan's younger brother aside and whispered something in his ear for a while.
Finally, Zhuang Zilan's younger brother, with reluctance in his eyes, returned the silver ingots that he hadn't even warmed up yet.
"Thank you both for bringing my sister back. This is a small token of your appreciation for your hard work!"
Brother Mao was pleased with his quick thinking. As he stuffed the silver back into his pocket, he also said:
"The people right now, no matter how they died, must be burned."
Find a few people to bring some firewood over and burn it somewhere.
I'm not too busy right now, so I'll stay here and watch the place for you!
The villagers of Xiaozhuang present: "..."
Fortunately, the village chief reacted quickly, saying, "It should be burned, it should be burned."
Everyone knows what's going on in Qijia Village now.
"That brat is incredibly audacious; she dared to run over there!"
He had clearly heard before that the girl had frozen to death.
What exactly happened? How come they weren't frozen to death, but were hit by a car instead?
Regardless of what exactly happened to Zhuang Zilan, the others immediately realized what was going on and, fearing they might be infected, chimed in, saying they should burn it right away.
And there's no need to move it; it can be burned right here.
Therefore, when Chi Kang arrived, he saw the people from Xiaozhuang carrying firewood and piling it on the cart.
Before long, the firewood was lit.
Immediately afterwards, two men, about the same age as his uncle, stumbled over.
He kept muttering things like "Zilan, poor child."
After confirming the person's identity, Chi Kang did not leave. Instead, taking advantage of the fact that no one in Xiaozhuang recognized him, he walked over to Brother Mao's side.
Mao Ge glanced at him sideways, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Are you your sister-in-law's nephew? Didn't you leave? What are you doing here?"
“My aunt was a little worried, so she asked me to come and check. When I got there, someone said you were here, so I came over.”
