When Old Lady Ho saw Ho Tung, Ho Sai, Ho Nam and Ho Bei standing together with the village chief, she felt something was wrong and wanted to slip away quietly.
"Village chief, Old Mrs. He is trying to run away." A woman grabbed the corner of Old Mrs. He's clothes.
Old Mrs. He blushed and slapped the woman's hand. "I couldn't see clearly, I just wanted to change my position. Who said I was going to run away?"
Old Mrs. He had a thick bandage wrapped around her left arm, and only her right hand could move. She looked very funny.
"Let the He family stand in the front." The village chief gave an order, and everyone consciously surrounded the He family in the front of the drying yard.
"Let me tell you now, because of the mistakes made by the He family, the village has suffered heavy losses. Now let's discuss solutions and how to deal with the He family.
Because more and more children have been born in our village in recent years, the amount of old grain in the barn is getting less and less every year.
There is almost no old grain in the past two years.
In order to pay the public grain tax, we can only dry the wet millet and see what the situation is before making a decision.
As for the execution...
Because the He family was not proactive in harvesting, nearly three acres of rice were blown to the ground by the rain, and the village decided to use the He family's work points to offset the loss.
Furthermore, He Dong and his men from the He family destroyed a large hole in the roof of the barn, and nearly one-third of the rice was washed away by water. The situation was serious and their attitude was bad, so these losses will also be borne by the He family.
However, the He family's work points are no longer enough to deduct, so, Mrs. He, what are your thoughts now? Compensation?"
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the people in Lao He's family exploded.
I confirmed again and again whether it was the Ho Tung brothers who did it.
After hearing a firm "yes", Tian Xiaocui and her sisters-in-law began to panic.
It’s over now. All my work points have been deducted and now I have to pay compensation. It’s really painful.
The one who was most angry was He Aiguo’s wife Zhao Moli.
She didn't agree to split up the family from the beginning.
The other two families, on the other hand, gathered their husbands and went on strike to split the family property.
Not only did I not earn any work points, but so many were deducted. My whole family will be starving next year.
The two boys, Ho Tung and Ho Sai, have caused such a big trouble for themselves. Now they don’t know how to compensate them.
Old Mrs. He was so angry that she picked up her shoes and hit the children in the face, and the children started to hide.
The scene was chaotic for a while.
"Enough, haven't you made enough of the trouble? How are you going to compensate us? We're exhausted after a long day today. We don't have time to sit here and watch how you educate your children. Now you know how to talk to your children. You didn't tell them earlier or later, but only told them when something happened. You, the He family, really know how to educate your children." The village chief roared.
The crowd was silent.
The work points deducted as compensation for the nearly three acres of land were enough to make him anxious and heartbroken, and he would never pay the other money no matter what.
"Ask the children's parents. It has nothing to do with me. They should pay for it themselves." Anyway, these monkeys have grown up. If they hadn't gone on strike and refused to harvest, and if their children hadn't also been lazy and stayed indoors, wouldn't all the trouble have happened?
He Aiguo and his brothers also realized the seriousness of the matter. If they dared to refuse to pay compensation, they would probably be drowned in the villagers' spit.
"Village chief, we have no money."
The village chief looked at them with an attitude of "I have no money, you can do whatever you want" and was so angry that he almost burst into tears.
"In that case, I'll bring a few village officials to your house and search to see if there's anything we can exchange for money. We'll exchange everything until all the money is paid."
When Old Mrs. He heard this, she was unwilling to give up. She had hidden so much money and bills in her room. If they were found out, she would be in trouble.
"No, why are you searching the house? If you dare to search our house, I will die in front of you." After saying that, he picked up a sharp stone and put it against his neck.
"So what do you want? You don't want to compensate?" The village chief's patience was almost at its limit.
"Village Chief, the old He family's house is very spacious and can be sold."
Su Qing listened from the side and silently gave a thumbs up to this brother.
When the village chief heard this, it seemed like a good idea.
The old house of the He family is quite big, with four main rooms, three wing rooms on each side, a kitchen and a dry toilet, and two plots of land behind the house.
"Then we can use the He family's old house to make up for the loss, and there's no need to deduct work points."
When the He family heard that they would not have to deduct work points, they no longer cared about the old house. After all, they all lived in houses with blue bricks and tiles now, so who would want to live in an adobe house?
"Old He family, the old couple, and He Aiguo and his brothers, please sign your names."
In this way, the matter came to an end as the He family compensated the village with an old house.
The village chief then arranged some village affairs.
"Everyone, the next step is to plant and harvest peanuts. I hope everyone will be more proactive and stop procrastinating.
Today and tomorrow, a few women who cannot do farm work will come to the drying yard to dry the grain. They can get seven work points.
In addition, everyone who helps today can add six centimeters."
Two days later~
Accountant Liao took the young men in the village to pay the grain.
Even if the rice is dried again, the quality is still not as good as before, and the rice will be broken after being husked.
However, the village did not even have old grain to make up for the shortage, so they could only pay with these soaked grains. As a result, the staff of the grain station were very dissatisfied with Accountant Liao and his group.
If it were the millet from before, it could be given as high-quality food.
Maybe Shuixiang Village can even win the honor of being a production brigade.
Now, if Accountant Liao didn’t have acquaintances at the grain station, he wouldn’t even be able to pass the test.
Everyone has a very bad impression of the He family.
