"Mrs. Huang, it seems you haven't been beaten enough yet. You still dare to spew shit!"
When Mrs. Huang heard Lin Jiuyue's scolding, she subconsciously hid behind Old Man Huang.
"Boss, look, look at that damn girl Lin Jiuyue. She dares to threaten me even when you are here. You have to teach her a lesson, otherwise, our family will lose all face."
Old Man Huang looked at Lin Jiuyue.
The person who came to tell me the news didn't say that the one who beat me up was from the Lin family! If I had known it was from the Lin family, I wouldn't have come here to avoid offending the Lin family.
But now I'm here. If I don't do anything, the villagers will laugh at me.
"Old man, why are you still standing there? Go ahead and take care of her."
Old Man Huang was already in a dilemma at the moment, and when he heard his wife's words adding fuel to the fire, his temper immediately flared up.
"What are you talking about? You're so capable, how come you were beaten like this? Can't you see the village chief is still here? The village chief hasn't said anything, why are you talking so much?"
Old man Huang turned around and started yelling.
Mrs. Huang was stunned by the roar of old man Huang.
Didn't my old man come here specifically to find fault with me? Why is he blaming me now?
"Old man, you..."
"Shut up!"
"Village chief, how do you think we can solve this problem?"
Old Man Huang was also a man who knew the current situation. He did not give Mrs. Huang a chance to speak and turned to ask the village chief.
"I've already said that both parties are at fault in this matter. How about we just let it go? If this gets out of hand, it won't be good for you, the Lin family, or even our Shangbei Village."
Although Old Man Huang did not dare to seek justice for his wife, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with the village chief's solution.
Although he was dissatisfied, he also knew that if he talked to the village chief about this matter, the village chief could only play a mediating role.
Therefore, he turned his gaze directly to Lin Jiuyue.
"Miss Lin, what happened today was indeed done by my wife. Don't worry, I will definitely teach her a lesson when I get back. This kind of thing will never happen again."
Seeing that Old Man Huang was so sensible, Lin Jiuyue's anger dissipated a little.
"Well, I'm sure you all know that words can cause trouble. I hope you don't hear any more gossip about my family. If you do, don't blame me for being rude."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd.
When the onlookers met Lin Jiuyue's gaze, those who felt guilty lowered their heads.
"Miss Lin, don't worry, most of the villagers in our village are good..."
When Lin Jiuyue heard this, she nodded with satisfaction and then gave Xiyue a wink.
Xiyue has followed Lin Jiuyue for such a long time that she can understand what Lin Jiuyue is thinking just by looking at her.
"Miss, do you really want to give me money?"
Xiyue asked reluctantly.
If I had known that I would have to pay money after beating someone up, I would have been gentler when I hit him, so as to avoid causing my young lady to lose money.
"Girl, how come you're even more miserly than your young lady? We're not the kind of unreasonable people who should pay compensation if we hit someone."
As long as it can be solved with money, it’s not a big deal.
I hit someone to vent my anger, but after hitting someone, I still have to pay compensation.
Of course, this was also because Old Man Huang was quite sensible. If all of Mrs. Huang's family members were like Mrs. Huang, he would not give money even if he met an official.
"Go ahead."
Xiyue pouted and reluctantly took out her purse.
His originally unhappy face suddenly became happy the moment he took out his wallet.
My young lady only said that if you hit someone, you have to compensate, but she didn't say how much silver you have to pay.
The money is here with me, and the lady asked me to give it, but she didn't say how much. Doesn't that mean I can give as much as I want?
After figuring it out, Xiyue took out all the copper coins from her purse and handed them to Old Man Huang without counting them.
"This is your compensation. Use it to buy some eggs to replenish your diet."
After Xiyue finished speaking, she glanced at Mrs. Huang.
"My young lady is kindhearted. If it were someone else, you wouldn't even have to pay any money today. You're lucky that I didn't ask you to pay any compensation."
Xiyue grew up in the Li Mansion and had witnessed countless dark things. It was rare to find a master as magnanimous as Lin Jiuyue.
Old Man Huang said nothing. But when Mrs. Huang saw the copper coins, her expression brightened.
I thought I got beaten for nothing, but unexpectedly I got dozens of copper coins.
"Miss Xiyue is right."
After a long while, Old Man Huang said this.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, the village chief spoke.
"Since Miss Lin has already paid the compensation, how about we just let it go?"
Old Man Huang nodded.
I can't afford to offend either the village chief or the Lin family. Now that they can compensate me with a few dozen copper coins, I'll just let it go.
Otherwise, they would not get a single penny and would have offended two people. They would really have no way of living in Shangbei Village.
"This matter was originally done by my wife, who was not honest. Besides, Miss Lin gave some money. If I continue to make a fuss about it, I, an old man, will be too embarrassed to face anyone."
The village chief heard what Old Man Huang said and nodded in satisfaction.
"Well, since you all have no objections, then let's just call it a thing of the past. We can all still be good folks from now on. Miss Lin, what do you think?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled indifferently.
"As long as you don't try to trip me up or say bad things about me behind my back to ruin my reputation, I'm a very easy person to talk to."
The village chief was also very happy when he saw this.
When something like this happened in the village, the village chief was one of the people who most hoped for reconciliation.
"Okay, okay, both of you are reasonable."
The village chief praised him a few words, then turned to look at the surrounding villagers.
"Today, regarding the Lin and Huang families' affairs, I'd like to give a reminder to the villagers of Shangbei Village."
"From now on, if you have nothing to do during the off-season, please avoid gathering together to gossip about others. Next time, if someone says something they shouldn't say and gets beaten up, don't come to me to take care of it."
"Although I'm the village chief, I'm also very busy. You guys should handle trivial matters on your own."
The village chief's words made Old Man Huang blush.
"Alright, alright, everyone, go away. Go do what you need to do."
After hearing this, the onlookers dispersed in groups of three or four.
After the villagers left, Lin Jiuyue called the village chief.
"Uncle, are you free now? If you are, come with me to my house. I have something to tell you."
