Chapter 179: Helping the Injustice
"Village head, my family has already compensated Li Sihui for 20 eggs. Do you still want compensation?"
Zhou Changjiang's mother was almost crying. The family's financial resources were not enough to support such a fuss.
"How about this! You help Li Sihui do ten jobs, and don't bully them anymore. Everyone in the village should know that the child is pitiful enough."
Zhao Yaozu was in a dilemma. Rural areas were not well-off, and if the award was too high, the Zhou family could not afford it. Besides, Li Sihui was a good person and had done no harm, so it was not good to ask for too much.
Zhou Zixu snorted coldly but did not speak. As for the affairs of the village, he still had to respect the decision of the village chief.
"Listen carefully, if you bully Li Sihui again, I won't let you go."
Zhou Zixu walked up to Zhou Changjiang, patted his shoulder with a smile, and spoke in a low voice so that only the two of them could hear it.
To outsiders, this was considered an intimate gesture, but Zhou Changjiang was in agony. Zhou Zixu's hand was too strong! He almost broke his bones. It hurt so much.
Moreover, the pressure from him made Zhou Changjiang feel cold all over. He felt like a mountain was pressing down on his head, and he was so scared that he dared not even breathe.
Zhou Zixu left after he finished speaking. This was the village branch and there was no need for him to stay here any longer.
"Brother Zhou, you...seem to be very nice to that dead...Li Sihui."
Zhao Yuying had followed him all the way here. Seeing him defending Li Sihui like this, she felt very uncomfortable. When she saw Zhou Zixu coming out, she went up to him with a voice full of grievance. She almost blurted out the words "fat pig", but she forced herself to hold it back.
"What? You can't even help someone who is in trouble?"
Zhou Zixu glanced at her and found that this girl was not kind and was completely different from her brother.
He just said this to her indifferently without even telling her that he had arranged for her to go to the city to study.
Seeing his disdainful eyes, Zhao Yuying felt very wronged. What was wrong with her? Why did he always dislike her?
She watched him walk to the car without looking back, coldly drove away the children surrounding the car, and drove away without even looking at her again.
"......"
Zhao Yuying stamped her feet and twisted her body. When she couldn't get something at home, she would use this trick to get angry and act like a spoiled child, pretending to be pitiful.
Unfortunately, that was only useful for her family. Zhou Zixu was too lazy to even look at her. Even if she sprained her waist, he would not pay any attention to her.
Zhao Jinchen came back carrying a wild rabbit and gave it to Li Sihui, but she refused and could not take it home.
Seeing his sister looking towards the village entrance and getting angry, he asked in a deep voice.
"Who is this about?"
"Brother, why did you come back just now? Your comrade is here and seems to have something to ask you."
When Zhao Yuying saw her eldest brother, she immediately yelled at him angrily. If her eldest brother was at home, Zhou Zixu would not have left in such a hurry.
She suddenly remembered that Zhou Zixu seemed to have something to say to his elder brother.
Her eyes flashed. Could it be about going to the art troupe? She stared at Zhao Jinchen with complaint. It was all her brother's fault. He delayed her business.
"Zi Xu is..... someone you know?"
Zhao Jinchen was stunned for a moment, stopped talking halfway, and temporarily changed the question.
"That's Brother Zhou who wanted to help me join the art troupe."
When Zhao Yuying mentioned Zhou Zixu, her face flushed slightly. She actually felt that if her elder brother was willing to say a word, she and Zhou Zixu might be able to get engaged.
Thinking of this, she looked at her elder brother with hope, but her eyes were too hot. Zhao Jinchen frowned and poured cold water on her.
"Are you asking him to help you join the art troupe again? I'm telling you, don't get your hopes up too much. You have to take an exam, and if you don't have real talent, they won't accept you."
