The parents of the older children were definitely unwilling to accept the 10 yuan compensation per person.
But it's hard to say it out loud.
Everyone turned their attention to the parent of the child who was leading the group.
They have to pay 20 yuan in compensation.
The man in that family was a straightforward fellow; he yelled at his wife:
"Hurry back and get the money."
The woman was very reluctant and didn't want to leave.
The man seemed to have a bad temper.
He glared at her fiercely: "What, you don't want to go back and get it?"
Look at what you've done to this child!
You're not even willing to pay a little money in compensation, what if someone beats your child up like that?
Are you as easy to talk to as they are?
That ignorant, foolish woman does nothing but spoil her child.
I'm satisfied with how spoiled they've become.
From now on, you'll have to come up the mountain with me to work every day.
To avoid having nothing better to do and getting into trouble.
The last two sentences were said to his son.
The woman was both ashamed and angry after being scolded by her husband in front of so many people, so she ran back to get the money.
I've really lost face today.
She used to boast in the village about how good and considerate her husband was to her.
I could never bring myself to hit or scold her, and I never even said a harsh word to her.
But today I was proven wrong, and quite badly at that.
The man who had just hit the child saw his wife still standing there.
He turned around and yelled, "What are you still doing here?"
Do I have to go back and get it?
That old woman has absolutely no tact.
The woman glanced at her son and could only go back to get the money.
At that time, people kept their money at home.
Moreover, it was hidden very well.
I'm afraid someone will find out and steal it.
People from the new century, some of them carry tens of thousands of yuan in cash and wander around.
Some of these eye-catching bags even seem to be afraid that others won't notice them.
He held the money blatantly in his hand.
After everyone brought their money, they all handed it over to the village chief.
The village chief looked at the 160 yuan in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
Let's just consider this a lesson for these kids.
The village chief handed the money to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, you can use it for your own purposes."
Xiao Xiao only took 20 yuan, and then looked at the other children who were being beaten.
"Take this and buy some things for the child to replenish their energy."
The children suffered today, and I thank you all for that.
He then bowed to everyone.
Everyone would definitely shake their heads to indicate that they wouldn't be polite.
Yuan Ping'an reached out and took another 20 yuan.
Somewhat embarrassed, he said, "There are two more people; I'll carry them for them."
The parents of the children who were beaten didn't say anything at this moment.
Since they've already paid compensation, and such a large amount at that, what can they say?
Besides, Xiaoxiao is a very honest person. Even though her own Yuan Ping'an was beaten up like that, she only asked for 20 yuan.
They divided the rest among themselves.
To be honest, if it were them, they definitely wouldn't have been able to do this.
Everyone knows who Yuan Ping'an gave the 20 yuan to.
They all knew it, but no one said it.
This 20 yuan is for the two children who went down the mountain to inform the others.
The matter has been resolved.
Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, and let Yuan Shitou carry Ping An back with the family.
The village chief looked at the families who hadn't yet left and shook his head.
"You should focus more on your children."
Look at what's happened today, thankfully no one was killed.
If someone dies, things will get really serious.
You have no idea how tightly these things are regulated now.
I advise you to keep your tails between your legs and honestly farm in the mountains.
It's probably impossible for Yuan Shitou to lead you to make money in the future.
"Sigh, good deeds never get rewarded; instead, they bring misfortune upon me."
They talked as they walked down the mountain.
Those who had come to watch the spectacle also left one after another.
Before long, the mountain was deserted.
The child who started the fight was taken home by his parents.
His mother was thinking of letting him go inside to hide.
To avoid getting beaten up later.
His dad is ruthless when it comes to beating people; he never holds back.
But this time he was surprisingly calm.
As soon as I entered the house, I sat down and watched the interaction between the mother and son.
He slapped the table: "What, do you think I'm dead?"
They're still up to no good right under my nose.
You ignorant, stupid woman.
Look at this son you spoil every day.
As she spoke, she glanced at her son.
This son is his eldest son, who is 13 years old this year.
He's not very obedient at home, so he's probably going through a rebellious phase.
He's spoiled by his mother; you can't really call him lazy.
He would do anything willingly without complaint.
If it's something he doesn't want to do, no matter what you say, he won't do it.
The man stared at his son and asked, "You said that just for such a small thing as cutting grass, you led a group of older kids to fight a group of younger kids?"
What are your thoughts?
Do you think you're very capable?
They can be their boss.
You say you don't want to mow the lawn, and no one is forcing you to do it.
Why are you causing trouble for Yuan Ping'an? What did he do to you?
The child's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head without saying a word.
His little body was trembling, afraid that his father would beat him.
"You kneel there and slowly reflect on your actions."
After you've reflected on your actions, tell me exactly why.
Was your behavior today right or wrong?
He got up, rubbed his temples, and said to his wife:
“Don’t give him any food or drink, just make him kneel there and reflect on his actions.”
If I find out you've given him anything, don't blame me for being rude.
The man took two steps, then turned back to his wife and said:
"We don't have any hay for the rabbits at home yet, go and cut some hay."
The woman dared not say anything, and could only nod in agreement before leaving.
Only the older child who had been fighting remained in the room, kneeling alone in repentance.
The child's name is Yuan Tiezhu.
At this moment, large tears streamed down his face.
He was really terrified today.
At first, he just wanted to vent his anger and mock Yuan Ping'an to embarrass him.
Who can blame him when he's considered a good child by so many adults?
Not only is she good at studying, but she also has a sweet tongue.
They call everyone "uncle," "papa," "aunt," or "madam."
And he can play with a lot of children.
He is clearly a child without parents.
Not to mention how good his maternal grandparents were to him.
His uncle was good to him, and his aunt was also good to him, treating him like her own child.
It made him very jealous.
Jealousy can drive a person mad.
So at such a young age, he couldn't control his emotions and did something so extreme.
In fact, when they were fighting, he wished he could kill Yuan Ping'an.
But after calming down, he regretted it and was also very scared.
Fortunately, Yuan Ping'an was not killed.
If he gets beaten to death, his life is over.
Forget about getting married in the future, he'll probably have to spend several years in jail.
In more severe cases, one must eat peanuts.
He was trembling all over; he was terrified.
