Chapter 35 Compensation
Neither of them spoke, and they were silent all the way. Song Shuyan listened in a trance to the rustling footsteps, one steady, the other frivolous.
Arriving at the Youth League Home, Song Shuyan went straight into the house to change clothes.
Zhou Jingshen looked at the small courtyard calmly. Several yellow mud houses stood side by side. On the left were two houses side by side. At the door of one of the houses, there was a small pile of sweet potatoes with mud that had not been cleaned off.
Someone came out of the house and greeted him warmly, "Hello, comrade!"
She even gossiped and asked, "Are you dating Song Zhiqing?"
Zhou Jingshen didn't answer directly, but his sharp eyebrows softened a little, and his pursed lips curled up a little, "Song Zhiqing and I are from the same compound. I was asked by my elders to come and see her when I have time."
In the room, Song Shuyan took off the coat he had put on him, which still retained his clean scent.
She blushed quietly.
I quickly put down my coat, opened my suitcase, and picked and chose a light blue blazer to change into.
It was a bit cold, so I put on an off-white round-neck long-sleeved wool sweater.
This outfit makes her look like a pure and beautiful little white flower, charming and lovely.
She lifted her skirt and turned around with satisfaction.
“Ah…Ah!”
A sudden sneeze ruined her good mood.
Wet hair feels uncomfortable against the scalp.
She didn't rush out, but found a clean towel and began to wipe her hair carefully.
She inexplicably felt that it was shameful to go out and meet people with wet hair.
Outside, several educated youth surrounded Zhou Jingshen and chatted with him.
Zhou Jingshen doesn't talk much, but he answers every question briefly and powerfully.
Helan came out of the bathroom and saw a straight-statured, handsome soldier comrade coming into the yard. His eyes lit up.
Before she could be happy, Song Shuyan walked out of the house. The handsome American comrade walked towards her and spoke to her with his head down.
"Let's go out and talk?"
Song Shuyan curled his fingers and asked, "What to talk about?"
She smiled lightly and said, "Okay."
At this time, there was a commotion outside, and Wang Po led a group of people and stormed into the Youth League Home angrily.
She screamed in a shrill voice, demanding an explanation from Song Zhiqing!
"Song Zhiqing, come out here!"
"Kicking me into the river for no reason is unjust!"
Wang Pozi only listened to one side of the story. Her relatives and friends followed suit and criticized Song Shuyan, saying, "That's outrageous!"
"How could Song Zhiqing do this!"
Zhou Jingshen's face darkened and he glanced coldly at the group of people who were swarming into the Youth League Home.
Song Zhiqing's face also turned cold. He sneered a few times and stood up without any fear. "I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you still have the nerve to complain first?"
She said in a deep voice, "Why didn't I kick others, but only you?"
Qin Fei dragged the heavy wooden barrel and came last. She finally returned to the Youth League Home. She put the barrel aside, pushed away the onlookers, walked to Song Zhiqing, and helped him with her hands on her hips.
"It was Granny Wang who pushed Shuyan into the river first!"
Mrs. Wang argued, "I was just being careless! But Song Zhiqing kicked me on purpose!"
Qin Fei yelled, "What do you mean by 'accidental'? You clearly did it on purpose! Shuyan said he could swim and didn't need help. And your bachelor son jumped into the river and kept swimming towards Shuyan. Everyone knows what you are planning!"
Zhou Jingshen's brows grew even colder, his eyes like knives, stabbing at Mrs. Wang and her wretched son.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Zhang Siyou shrank his neck, smiled fakely and waved his hands.
"What are you doing?"
The captain also came and asked, "What are so many people doing here?"
Song Shuyan sneered and walked straight to the captain. "Captain, you've come at the perfect time. Mrs. Wang deliberately pushed me into the river and teamed up with her son to set a trap for me. If you don't give me a satisfactory solution to this matter, I'm going to report it to the police!"
"Sue Wang Po for attempted murder, and sue that guy for intending to be a hooligan!" She pointed at Zhang Siyou with a serious and earnest expression.
Zhang Siyou was so scared that he kept denying it, "No... I didn't!"
Mrs. Wang slapped her thigh and sat down. "Oh my! Is there any justice in this world? I won't live like this! I'm already old, and I was kicked into the river, and I can't even get an explanation!"
"My son went down into the river to save someone out of kindness, but he was accused of committing hooliganism!"
"God is blind!"
"They only bully us orphans and widows!"
Zhou Jingshen's face was sullen, his aura full of oppression. He slowly said, "Since you both insist on your own opinions, let the police decide who is right and who is wrong!"
Veins on the captain's forehead throbbed, and he quickly said with a smile, "Not really, not really!"
If we report this little thing to the police, will their team still want this year's advanced title?
He also looked at the still-raging Wang Po with a sullen face, "Shut up!"
After hearing the general idea of what happened, doesn't he still know what's going on?
Song Zhiqing is not a troublemaker.
It’s different with Mrs. Wang. How many conflicts has she had with her neighbors?
Zhang Siyou is not a good person either. He was sneaky at work and even peeked at his widowed sister-in-law taking a bath!
Because of this incident, his sister-in-law moved with her children to an unused old house in the village.
The captain took a deep breath.
The team leader still had some influence in the village, and his words made Wang Po not dare to act rashly anymore.
Mrs. Wang was unwilling to give in. She avoided looking around and was thinking about how she could extort some money from Song Zhiqing.
She was kicked into the river, that's a fact!
The surroundings gradually quieted down, and the team leader asked Song Shuyan, "Song Zhiqing, how do you want to solve this problem?"
Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied, "I am the victim!"
The captain ignored her.
Song Shuyan touched her chin and thought, this matter is disgusting, she doesn't want to do this every now and then, she must get some compensation, and be ruthless, to let the villagers know that she is not someone to be trifled with, if they want to plot against her, they have to think about whether they can come up with the compensation money!
She chuckled, "I want Mrs. Wang to compensate me for twenty yuan! I was washing clothes and she pushed me into the river, and my clothes were washed away!"
This is also true.
She spent eighteen dollars to buy that shirt!
She only wanted two dollars in compensation for mental damage, considering that it was Wang Po's first offense and that she had vented her anger by kicking her into the river.
If there is a next time.
She won't let them off so easily!
But when she said that, everyone gasped.
"Twenty...twenty dollars!"
"Why don't you just go and rob her!" Wang Po's voice cracked. This is so unfair! She was kicked into the river by this little bitch, and she still had to pay her twenty?
What is this little bitch dreaming about!
The villagers also pointed at Song Shuyan.
"That's too much!"
"Twenty yuan! Even if Mrs. Wang sold all her belongings, she still wouldn't be able to come up with that!"
The captain also frowned and looked at Song Shuyan, and was about to say that she was asking for too much.
Song Shuyan glanced at everyone calmly and said, "I was blown away by that dress. I spent twenty bucks on it."
