Principal Fang was so angry that his face turned ashen.
He looked at Lu Jingnian, who showed no intention of intervening and just stared coldly at him.
After a brief standoff, he snorted coldly, then helped Fang Huimei up and prepared to leave.
"stop."
Xiang Wanwan stopped them, pointing at Fang Huimei and saying, "She ruined my vegetable garden and destroyed all my vegetables."
"Pay up!"
"How much do you want?" Principal Fang asked through gritted teeth.
"two hundred."
Those watching the spectacle gasped in astonishment.
Oh my god!
They had never seen so much money before.
Although there's not much to do with money on the island, who wouldn't want to have that much money?
"Jingnian, your wife really dares to speak her mind!"
Principal Fang did not directly agree to Xiang Wanwan's request, but instead spoke to Lu Jingnian in a sarcastic tone.
Lu Jingnian naturally sided with his wife, and he coldly replied:
“She took care of our land herself, and she put so much effort into it. I think 200 is too low; it should be 250.”
"Pfft!" Xiang Wanwan couldn't help but laugh.
She looked at Lu Jingnian with a mischievous grin.
This man, who is usually stern and rarely smiles, is just as sharp-tongued as she is when it comes to insulting people.
"Yes, then it's 250."
Principal Fang was so angry that his chest heaved violently.
The Lu Jingnian in front of him felt unfamiliar, let alone Huimei.
He used to be such a calm and kind person when he was my student. How did he become like this now?
It's true what they say: "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black!"
Principal Fang reached into his pocket, intending to take out money to settle the matter, but Fang Huimei grabbed his hand and stopped him.
"Dad, don't give it to her! It's just a few potatoes. We have dozens of kilograms of them. We can just compensate her and that will be fine."
"And what about tomatoes and onions? We already have those at home..."
Before Fang Huimei could finish speaking, he immediately covered her mouth with his hand.
He felt his blood pressure spike.
The wife was taken away, but it was only said that she was temporarily detained for investigation and that she had not yet been convicted.
But this stupid girl's words were practically a death sentence for them!
Xiang Wanwan's lips curved slightly.
"Principal Fang, don't cover your mouth!"
"Let her speak!"
"Fang Huimei, you just said you had dozens of kilograms of potatoes at home? And tomatoes and scallions, right?"
“Supplies on the island are distributed once a month, and a family can only get a few kilograms at most, but your family has dozens of kilograms.”
"Don't you eat every day? How come you've accumulated so much?"
After hearing Xiang Wanwan's words, everyone immediately realized what she meant.
"It seems that Ouyang Lan really did embezzle the money, otherwise where would the family get so many supplies!"
"And they have the audacity to claim they're innocent? Do they think they're all fools?"
"They've been skimming off our supplies!"
"Let's go get it back."
Everyone was saying they wanted to go to the Fang family's house to retrieve their belongings.
Lu Jingnian immediately stopped everyone.
"Don't worry, everyone. Once the situation is cleared up, we will definitely replenish the supplies that are owed to you."
His words finally calmed everyone down, and they stopped arguing.
Principal Fang knew things were going badly, so he quickly took out the money and left with his daughter.
After everyone had left, Xiang Wanwan gave Wang Sao 150 yuan of the money she had just received.
"Sister-in-law, take this money! I'm so sorry for what happened today, you got hurt."
Sister Wang pushed it back, waving her hands repeatedly.
"No, no! This is your compensation, how can I accept it?"
Xiang Wanwan forcefully stuffed the money into her hand and said sincerely, "Sister-in-law, you saved my life again today. I won't be able to sleep peacefully if you don't take this money."
