After Zhou Dafu left, Zhang Rushan asked Song Yuehua, "If Uncle Dafu didn't tell you, would you tell Baozi about it?"
"Of course."
Zhang Rushan laughed and said, "You two have a very good relationship."
"This is not a question of whether the relationship is good or not," Song Yuehua said seriously.
"Baozi did something wrong. That's why he should know the reason."
Anyway, the matter has been clarified, so Zhang Rushan won't say much.
Originally, Song Yuehua thought that Zhou Dafu would have to delay for a few days, but unexpectedly, that night, Lin came to ask her to go to the big house.
"Have you notified Baozi?" Song Yuehua asked on the way.
Lin nodded and said, "Send someone to call the Bao family and the Li family."
That means being open and honest.
When Song Yuehua came over, in addition to Zhou Dafu, Grandpa Zhou and the elders of the clan also came.
As soon as she walked in, Li Jia and Baozi arrived.
"Why didn't your Li Dalang come?" the clan elder asked Old Man Li.
Old man Li sat down on the stool and said, "The eldest and the second son have separated a long time ago. I live with the second son. This matter has nothing to do with the eldest son's family."
This is to clear up the relationship between the whole thing.
Li Er is dead now, so there is no evidence to prove his wrongdoing.
"What do you mean!" Baozi said in a daze, "Is it okay if we divide the family? If you, the Li family, don't give me an explanation for this matter, I will report it to the police tomorrow."
"Report it!"
Old man Li also said angrily, "Every debt has its own perpetrator. If you really want to collect the debt, go find Lao Er."
"Do you really think I'm stupid? Li Er is dead, and none of you with the surname Li can escape!" Baozi pointed at old man Li's nose and said harshly.
Old man Li couldn't stand being pointed at and scolded by the junior, so he rushed forward and was about to fight. It was Zhou Dafu who pulled the two apart.
"I called you here to solve the problem, not to fight!"
Baozi sat down next to Song Yuehua angrily.
"Zhang Rushan has already investigated the cotton field issue..."
Zhou Dafu told several people the whole story of how Li Er burned the cotton field.
"Bullshit!" Baozi said angrily, "Everyone does this, why can't he stand it? I can only say that this kind of person is born evil!"
Old man Li said angrily, "Say it again, I'll tear your rotten mouth apart!"
“Come on!”
Grandpa Zhou slammed the table and said sternly, "Try to make another noise."
Sure enough, both sides fell silent.
"Old man Li, even though Li Er hanged himself, as a father, you can't get away with it."
Without waiting for Old Man Li to speak, Grandpa Zhou looked at Song Yuehua and Baozi again.
"The cotton fields of the two of you burned down. It is impossible for the Li family to make up for all the losses. I called you here so that everyone can sit down and discuss how to solve the problem."
Baozi looked at Song Yuehua and winked, "What are you going to do here?"
As soon as the words fell, the people in the big house also looked at Song Yuehua.
"Daya, what do you think about this?"
Song Yuehua could only say, "Based on the yield in previous years, one-third of the cotton in my cotton field should have been burned, which is 1,000 kilograms."
"Now that the culprit is dead, it's unrealistic to ask you to pay me money. I'll give you two choices: sign a contract and work as a long-term worker in my compound. Half of your monthly salary will be deducted for a total of five years. Or I'll give you two years and pay me 10,000 kilograms of potatoes. It's your choice."
Baozi stared and asked, "Is that it? Ten thousand catties is only worth 10 taels of silver. The cotton in our field is only worth 10 taels?"
"Li Er is dead now. Even if you kill his whole family, you still can't compensate for the loss of cotton." Song Yuehua said, "What are you going to do?"
Baozi said viciously, "The whole family must sign a death contract before this matter can be settled."
"That's absolutely impossible," Zhou Dafu said, "As the saying goes, misfortune doesn't affect one's wife, children, parents, let alone brothers. If Li Er were still alive, I would have no objection to you saying this."
The elders of the clan also advised, "Master Bao, think carefully about how to recover the losses instead of venting your anger."
"All the elders of the village are sitting here. Just make a reasonable request and don't mention the death contract anymore." Zhou Dafu said.
Baozi snorted and said, "I think we should report it to the police."
"If you report it to the authorities, you won't get a penny," said Zhang Rushan as he came in from outside.
"What's the meaning?"
Zhang Rushan said, "A father should not repay a son's debt. County Magistrate Yang is a filial man. It is not worthwhile for you to report him to the authorities."
Baozi looked at Song Yuehua and said, "That's all you can do."
"Then you could give me a reasonable idea. How can you sleep and eat well if you let such an old man become your servant, with a life contract?" Song Yuehua said with a look of disgust.
Old man Li, "..."
Baozi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Just now they said that the two brothers divided the family property. What did Li Er get?"
"He got it from me." Old man Li said shamelessly.
steamed stuffed bun,"……"
"I want to kill this old man, you come with me." Baozi pointed at Old Man Li and Song Yuehua.
Song Yuehua was also speechless. This old man Li was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Zhang Rushan said again, "Master Li, if you don't tell the truth, can I go to the county to check your family division documents?"
"The fields and houses in our family were divided equally. The second son's wife died a few years ago, so we gave him one acre of land." Old man Li finally confessed honestly.
Song Yuehua said, "Convert all his land and houses into money and give them to me."
"Why does it belong to you and not me?" Baozi said angrily.
