Chapter 107 Compensation for two taels of silver, ten eggs and a chicken
No matter what happens, the ancient village chief, as the head of a village, still has to stand up and uphold justice.
He looked at Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang and asked for their opinions: "What do you think of what the villagers just said?"
How is it?
Of course that's not good!
Old Mrs. Jiang stared at her eyes and retorted in her mind. Her third daughter-in-law had suffered such a big crime just now during childbirth. She actually wanted the old woman to get over it with just a few words of apology.
no way!!!
Just when Mrs. Jiang was about to blurt out her objections, Jiang Zhiyue grabbed her.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Zhiyue, saw her shaking her head, and swallowed what she wanted to say. After stopping Old Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Zhiyue looked at the family in front.
There is no need for them to speak up about this matter, and someone will naturally disagree on their behalf.
The ancient village chief happened to see Jiang Zhiyue's little move, and he had some bad premonitions. Sure enough, it was as Jiang Zhiyue expected.
As soon as Mrs. Jiang swallowed her words, Mrs. Fang opened her mouth and refused.
Old Mrs. Fang shouted confidently: "Why, why should I admit my mistake when I am right?"
Those who were persuading the Jiang family also stopped talking and looked a little embarrassed.
Old Mrs. Jiang understood Jiang Zhiyue's intention of not letting her speak just now.
She snorted and said, "Look, what did she say? It's not that our family is unwilling to expose this matter properly."
Everyone's expressions froze and they stopped saying anything.
Jiang Zhiyue said: "This matter cannot be revealed without you admitting it. The aunts and village chief present are all witnesses. Report it to the official!"
After hearing the news, Mrs. Fang panicked a little.
This, this, this, this, this, this, this is such a trivial matter, and no one died, so why bother reporting it to the official?!!
The people do not bother the officials. Ordinary people have never seen what officials are like in their entire lives, so they naturally feel a sense of awe in their hearts.
Fang's man screamed anxiously and kicked Old Mrs. Fang.
Old Mrs. Fang was in pain and glanced at her man timidly.
She said in a panic: "Isn't it nothing? There is no need to report it to the official!"
Old Mrs. Jiang glanced at her and said, "It's okay if you say it's okay. If it hadn't been for you, my third daughter-in-law would have almost had a dystocia!"
Old Mrs. Fang still wanted to refute, but as soon as she said the words, not only did she see Mrs. Jiang's eyes as if she wanted to eat her, but the people in the village also looked at her unkindly.
Even her own man kicked her hard.
Old Mrs. Fang was sitting unsteadily, so she was kicked and fell directly to the ground, facing the ground.
The floor of Jiang's yard was paved with stone pillars several times, making it very solid.
Mrs. Fang's teeth were not very neat, and when she knocked them, her lips were pricked.
The ancient village chief couldn't bear to see their stupidity, so he called two people to help them up. The dirty rags were also pulled out of the mouths of several members of the Fang family, so that they could speak.
As soon as the cloth strip from Mr. Fang's mouth was taken out, he said anxiously: "We apologize, we apologize." He said fiercely towards Ms. Fang: "Apologise quickly."
Fang's mouth was bleeding, her eyes were wandering, and she said hesitantly, "I'm sorry." Jiang Zhiyue rubbed her ears and asked, "What? I didn't hear you."
Fang Angrily glanced at Jiang Zhiyue secretly, and said in a louder voice: "I'm sorry!" After saying that, she yelled: "I also apologized, let us go quickly."
Jiang Zhiyue said in a cold voice: "My third aunt is already like this, do you think you can just apologize?"
Mrs. Fang asked in shock: "What else do you want?"
Jiang Zhiyue looked at the Jiang family, who immediately received the signal.
Mrs. Zhang said: "My brother and sister suffered this crime because of you. No matter what happens during the confinement period, you have to repair your body to avoid leaving the root of the disease."
"You pay five taels of silver, and then pay a dozen eggs and two chickens."
This time, it wasn't just Fang, even Fang Hou and his sister Fang Hua were shocked.
"What! It costs five taels of silver! And I have to give you chickens and eggs?!!!"
How could their family have so much silver? Five taels of silver was basically all their family property.
If everything is given to them, how can they live in their own homes?
Fang's man had a sullen expression and said nothing, obviously dissatisfied with the result. He looked at the ancient village chief and immediately put on a mournful expression.
He had a sad face, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together. He didn't look like a kind-faced person.
He looked miserable and wanted the ancient village chief to come forward and make peace with the Jiang family.
He opened his mouth and said: "Village chief, you know that we are all from the same village, how can our family come up with so much money? If we take this out, our family will be gone.'
The ancient village chief thought to himself that if the Fang family really took out these five taels of silver, the family would probably be unable to survive as he said.
Moreover, this old man Fang is not a good person. It would not be good if he makes him anxious and jumps over the wall. But the Jiang family cannot do without an explanation.
He first spoke to the Fang family with both kindness and power.
After they all nodded in agreement, they looked at Jiang Zhiyue and asked if it was possible.
The ancient village chief rubbed his brow. His old body was almost falling apart after standing for a day.
He could tell that the whole Jiang family, for some reason, especially listened to this little girl, so he also looked to her for advice.
Everyone present heard what the village chief said just now, showing equal kindness and power to the other party's family.
He reduced the compensation Zhang just proposed to two taels of silver, one chicken and ten eggs.
His words were not only addressed to the Fang family, but when he spoke, he frequently looked in the direction of the Jiang family to observe their expressions.
Seeing the ancient village chief, Jiang Zhiyue said generously: "In that case, let's do what the village chief said." Then she looked at Old Mrs. Fang and asked in a slightly raised voice: "What about you?"
Mrs. Fang's chest was filled with a sigh of relief. She couldn't go up or down, so she swallowed the curse she wanted to blurt out.
She rolled her eyes and turned her body to the side, out of sight and out of mind.
Fang's man hurriedly said: "Girl is kind-hearted, we agree, if you let us go, we will go back and get the money." Jiang Zhiyue looked at his eyes rolling around, and chuckled: "Then it's settled.
.”
She and Jiang Dalang looked at each other, and Jiang Dalang walked towards the four members of the Fang family.
But after he untied the rope from Mrs. Fang's body, he stood there motionless and had no intention of continuing to untie the others.
Seeing that Jiang Dalang didn't continue to help them untie them, they thought he wanted them to do it themselves.
But when Mrs. Fang started to help her man untie the rope, Jiang Dalang stopped her directly. Jiang Zhiyue's voice came again: "Then go back and get something to change him."
The Fang family was stunned, and then they realized why Jiang Dalang only untied the rope for Fang himself. This was to prevent them from giving anything after untying the rope!
Old Mrs. Fang looked at her man.
The Fang man's face was full of displeasure, and he felt that he was going to be completely embarrassed.
He cursed at Mrs. Fang: "You damn bitch, look at what I'm doing, why don't you hurry back and get something!" After that, he sat on the ground and kicked Mrs. Fang, but no one was hit.
Mrs. Fang has been kicked several times now, and she feels like her body is about to fall apart.
Seeing that the kick was about to come again, Mrs. Fang hurriedly hid aside and ran out of the Jiang family's yard.
They were all in the same village. No matter how slow her movements were, Mrs. Fang took the things and returned to the Jiang family's yard, reluctantly handing over the things in her hands.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Old Mrs. Fang holding something in her hand, not wanting to give it to her, so she snatched it away.
Two silver nuggets, ten eggs and a half-dead looking chicken.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at the rotten eggs in the basin and the dying chicken and felt suffocated.
This old woman must have acted like a monster on the way and deliberately broke the egg!
There is also this chicken, which is an egg-laying thing. Who doesn't raise it well, but it is delivered half-dead?
She said to Mrs. Zhang: "Go to the bowl in the room and pour the eggs into our own bowls."
When Mrs. Zhang took a bowl and poured the eggs out, the egg liquid dripped out, and there were broken shells mixed in.
The chicken was carried by Mrs. Sun in her hand. Old Mrs. Jiang originally put it on the ground, but as soon as the chicken was placed on the ground, it fell to one side.
Mrs. Sun picked it up and looked at it, only to find that the neck of the chicken was almost broken, and it had only one breath left, so she could only carry it in her hand.
Seeing the expressions on Mrs. Jiang's and others' faces as if they had eaten flies, Mrs. Fang was very proud.
Old Mrs. Jiang just couldn't stand her look, so she said deliberately: "It just so happened that so many eggs and a chicken were delivered. Let's eat them tonight to replenish our health."
Zhang and Sun agreed with smiles.
The pride on Old Woman Fang's face suddenly froze, and Old Man Fang behind him roared: "Damn it, come here and untie the rope for me."
This matter was considered to be over. After Mrs. Fang untied the ropes of several members of the Fang family, they ran away.
After the remaining people said auspicious words and congratulations, they also left the Jiang family one after another. After those people left, the two midwives were the last to leave.
The whole day was wasted on this matter, and both Jiang and Zhang's families didn't eat all day.
They didn't care, but little Wang had just given birth and needed to take good care of herself.
Mrs. Jiang asked Mrs. Zhang and the others to cook with the eggs and chickens that Mrs. Fang had just sent.
And she went back to Xiao Wang's house to see the two little dolls.
Sanlang and Shilang are not young anymore. It is not easy to enter the little Wang family's house at this time, so they can only beg Mrs. Jiang to take him out and let them see.
Jiang Zhiyue could no longer hold on anymore, her brain was buzzing, so she told them not to eat dinner and then went back to her room to rest.
After returning to the house, Jiang Zhiyue took out some fast food from the space to fill her stomach, then lay down and fell into a drowsy sleep after a while.
