Father Lin almost fainted from the pain. The carriage bumped into his back, knocking him down and then ran over his legs.

The carriage is not heavy, so the injury on the leg should be fine. But on the back... Anyway, there is only one feeling, which is pain!

I couldn't tell where it hurt, I just felt the pain all over my back. Chu Yunli stopped the carriage and turned around and said: "It's our matter. Although I hit you, I should compensate you. But we can't have the final say in this matter."

, if I gave you the money and you still come to trouble me in the future, I can’t explain it clearly. So, what should I do about this matter? I have to find someone to testify."

Father Lin didn't want to solve the problem at the moment. He just wanted to find a doctor to treat his back.

I heard the woman on the carriage say briskly: "You wait here, I'll call someone!"

Father Lin looked up again, only to see the carriage going further and further away.

It's strange, wasn't this road used to be filled with people returning home from work?

Father Lin had already planned to hit the carriage here.

After the collision, if she was willing to honestly compensate, everyone would be happy. If not, he would shout that there should be someone on the roadside, and if it was louder, people at the entrance of the village should be able to hear it.

But now, let alone shouting, he felt that even breathing was painful. It seemed that he would faint in the next moment and never wake up.

While waiting, Father Lin really felt that he might die here.

What a way to make money, at this moment, he really regretted it!

After Chu Yunli drove the carriage home, he looked at the two children, then went to the entrance of the village, informed everyone, and then went to find the village chief. A group of people rushed in the direction of Father Lin.

Seeing the people curled up on the ground unable to move, some people called for a doctor, while others blamed Chu Yunli: "You hit someone and didn't ask for help to find a doctor. How could you leave the person here?"

Some people wondered: "Could it be intentional?"

Chu Yunli suddenly turned to look at the speaker: "You must speak responsibly and don't open your mouth. If he is injured like this, he will have to pay for it with real money! If I did it on purpose, why should I bring you here? Anyway, he

No one here knows either."

Soon, the village chief and several respected elders of the Lin family in the village arrived.

Chu Yunli stepped forward and said: "I don't know why he appeared here. Anyway, I bumped into someone. I don't mean to shirk responsibility. I came to the elders because I sincerely want to solve the matter. To put it bluntly,

I mean, it’s just for compensation.”

"I said it bluntly in front of everyone. I was the one who injured the person, and I am willing to hire a doctor for him. I will pay for all the medical expenses and medical expenses..."

"What about the manpower to serve him? How do you calculate it?" Mrs. Zhou, who was supporting Lin's father, raised her head at this time: "Also, he is so seriously injured, he must need good things to replenish his body. Who will provide these?"

Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "Then you mean, I can just pay the money?"

"Yes!" Old Mrs. Lin emerged from the crowd: "We don't want you to find a doctor. People don't tell secrets. With the hatred between our two families, we don't dare to drink the medicine you asked the doctor to buy!"

Chu Yunli nodded: "You can pay money, how much do you want?" Facing the Lin family's joy, she took the lead and said: "Think about it before you speak. If you talk nonsense, I will not only refuse to pay, but I will also go to the prefect."

Help me make the decision."

Then he explained: "How many people have been hit by oxen and horse-drawn carriages on our road? The horse-drawn carriages cannot go too far. Who is walking in the middle of the road? I admit that I was wrong, but he is not innocent either."

Everyone: "..."

Listening to her explanation, it sounded like she was deliberately blackmailing someone.

Let's put it this way, no matter the cattle or horses raised, they are all afraid of people.

When the horse saw someone on the road, he avoided it if he could. It was not late at this time, and the carriage should not be very fast. Under such circumstances, how could it hit someone?

There are so many oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages in the village, but they never hit anyone all year round!

The more I think about it, the more suspicious it becomes.

Father Lin was surrounded by everyone, and he felt suffocated. His body was in too much pain, and his ears were buzzing so loudly that he couldn't calm down and listen to what they said. He kept looking towards the town, only to

I hope the doctor will come faster, even faster.

Sensing everyone's gaze on him, Lin's father raised his head, and Mrs. Zhou beside him said quickly: "Luo Hongyue means that you are deliberately blackmailing people!"

Father Lin: "...she bumped into me on purpose!"

Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "Is there anyone in the world who thinks money is too much? I bumped into you on purpose, and I want to pay you with money! My two sons can't leave yet, and there will be plenty of places to spend money in the future. That money

Instead of giving you flowers, I might as well buy the meat myself."

That makes sense!

Father Lin was so angry that he scolded: "Who is not afraid of pain? I have been injured like this, who dares to say that I did it on purpose?"

Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "We didn't mean it, how much compensation do you want?"

Old Mrs. Lin didn't want to delve into the reason, gritted her teeth and said: "Twenty taels."

Chu Yunli waved his hand: "Isn't this bullying? Let's ask the prefect to uphold justice."

As she said that, she took out her coins and prepared to find someone. Mrs. Zhou became anxious and hurriedly got up and pulled Old Mrs. Lin to the side. She whispered: "Mom, we can't look for you. The two of us discussed it before he went out today. It was originally

If you want to get hurt and get some money, who knows..."

Old Mrs. Lin's eyes widened and she wished she could strangle her new daughter-in-law to death. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's such a bad idea, why don't you come by yourself?"

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said: "Mom, now is not the time to talk about this. It is important to stop the person quickly."

Indeed, someone over there had already stepped forward to take the money and wanted to go back to set up the cart. After a while of delay, the person left.

Old Mrs. Lin glared at her new daughter-in-law bitterly: "I'll settle the score with you later!"

After putting down her words, she returned to the crowd: "For the sake of the two children, ten liang."

Chu Yunli laughed angrily: "Just treat them as if they don't exist. I don't need you to look after them. I'll give you four taels to heal your wounds. Besides, I gave away four taels of wealth today when I went out. It's really unlucky.

.No more, if you are willing to ask the prefect to make the decision, I will accompany you at any time!"

The Lin family is now afraid of the government office. Besides, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law know very well that if this matter is not investigated, how can they dare to go to the government office?

Mrs. Zhou was a little reluctant: "Four taels is too little. You have so much money, you can help other families in the village, why can't you help the child's grandfather..."

Chu Yunli was speechless and sneered: "You are four liang less? Let me tell you how much less is less? Who can afford so much money to compensate for an accident? As for the child's grandfather, it is even more unreasonable.

.From the time those two children were born until now, have you ever asked them? Have you ever taken care of them? How can you be so embarrassed to be their elders?"

She took out four silver coins and said: "The Lin family pretends that they don't exist, and they also pretend that they don't have this family. People live with a face, so don't come here to get married in the future."

She handed over the money, and Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Zhou both reached out to take it. Chu Yunli collected the money: "Before giving the money, we have to write a deed. Otherwise, what will happen if you come to pester me again in the future? Besides, who will give the money to?"

, and you have to write it clearly. If you ask me for money again in the future because the money is not in his hands, who should I talk to to reason with you?"

Everyone also saw the lawsuit between the Lin family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and felt that Chu Yunli's concerns were reasonable.

The village chief found a pen and ink, and began to write the deed: Luo Hongyue's carriage hit Lin Li, and the four taels of silver were stolen. The letter was written as evidence.

Because so many people came, there were only six witnesses.

Chu Yunli gave the money, folded up the deed, and began to recall the past: "I still remember when Li and I were together, and my son's grandfather went to the town to find someone to write a letter of separation. Later, when we didn't finish it, he ran away again without bothering us.

I added it after a trip to the town... At that time, I thought no one in the village could write, but I didn't expect that you could also..."

Talking about the past again inevitably reminds people of the two bowls of medicine that the Lin family knocked over when they separated. At that time, the Lin family... didn't even want Luo Hongyue to come out alive, right?

People in the village didn't know about their reconciliation. If Luo Hongyue died, they would all think that she suffered too much loss in giving birth to a child.

Comparing the two, everyone felt that the Lin family was only interested in profit, and Luo Hongyue was particularly kind.

Mrs. Zhou was a step too slow to pay four taels of silver coins, and was taken away by Mrs. Lin.

After the matter came to an end, the people in the village continued to live their lives as usual, but they all subconsciously alienated the Lin family.

However, Lin has a large family and does not need help from outsiders.

The morning in early spring was extremely cold, and Chu Yunli usually got up late. Sister-in-law Li came over early in the morning and was busy. When she got up, breakfast was already ready.

"Hongyue, the old man over there fell down last night."

Chu Yunli was surprised that this was really not her fault. She asked out of curiosity: "How did you fall?"

Sister-in-law Li lowered her voice: "I heard from the fat aunt next door that the Lin family had a quarrel last night. It seems that the Zhou family sent their children to study in the town and asked the Lin family for money. The old man and the old lady were not willing, and the two parties somehow refused.

The fight started, and then the old man fell to the ground. I heard that he couldn't get up at that time. I just saw Mr. Zhou going out, so he should have gone to ask a doctor."

The Lin family used to be quite wealthy, but Chu Yunli found a way to dig out all that money. Now, the Lin family only has the four taels she gave them yesterday.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got it, Mr. Zhou would send his son to study. Father Lin risked half his life to get the money. How could the Lin family agree?

When the money was paid yesterday, Chu Yunli saw it clearly. At first, Mrs. Lin was unwilling to give up, but later she was pulled over by Zhou to whisper a few words, and then she planned to put an end to the matter. Such a change can only be attributed to Mrs. Lin.

I learned that my son was deliberately blackmailing me. In other words, Mrs. Lin didn't know that Lin's father came to blackmail me. She just learned about it.

However, Zhou had already learned about this.

So, could it be possible that before Lin's father took action, the two of them had already discussed how to use the stolen money to educate their children?

Listening to this, Chu Yunli finished his breakfast. Just as he put down his bowl, there was another noise outside.

Old Mrs. Lin ran out to ask for help and asked her neighbors to help her find Mr. Zhou.

After asking, I learned that Mrs. Zhou had been asking for a doctor early in the morning, but had not come back at this hour. Mrs. Lin felt strange and subconsciously looked at her money, only to find that the few taels of silver she had just received yesterday.

All the remaining copper coins were gone.

The thing is very clear. There was a thief in the Lin family, and Mrs. Zhou ran away with the money!
