Ye Qingqing and Ye Duoduo were chatting animatedly when a villager from Bone Village who had already left with Zhu Qiangguo carrying cloth returned.
He still dragged Ye Qingyun here.
As soon as this Bone Village villager entered the yard, he complained to Ye Qingqing with a red face: "Ye Qingqing, your elder brother Ye Qingyun dropped the two bags of fabrics I was carrying into the bottomless hole on the roadside outside the county town. It was not me.
It's all Ye Qingyun's fault for not holding those two bags of fabric securely."
"I was walking smoothly carrying two bags of fabrics and just when I reached the big hole, Ye Qingyun suddenly jumped out of the grass on the side of the road and knocked me down.
Ye Qingyun fell on me and pressed me down, but I didn't roll into the big hole. The two bags of fabrics rolled down the big hole before I could grab them and disappeared without a trace."
"At that time, Ye Qingyun was still up and wanted to run away, but I caught him in time. Ye Qingqing, Ye Qingyun will have to pay you for those two bags of fabrics."
"This is entirely Ye Qingyun's fault, it has nothing to do with me. If he didn't come out of nowhere and knock me down, I would definitely hold those two bags of fabrics firmly in place. Whoever loses the fabrics will have to pay for it.
At that time, there were more than a dozen villagers weeding corn seedlings on the hillside in front of the big cave. Several of them saw Ye Qingyun knocking me down.
I also invited three witnesses to testify for me, they are right behind and will be here soon."
"Bai Lao Er, please let me go quickly. The fabric was lost in your hands, so you should pay for it. I didn't intentionally knock you down. Who asked you to block my way?"
Ye Qingqing saw that the villagers' faces were red with anxiety, their eyes were full of panic, and they were so anxious that they were about to cry.
Ye Qingqing knew that he was afraid that he would have to pay for the two bags of fabrics. His family was one of the poorest in Bone Village, and there were two patients in his family who needed money for a long time.
All the belongings of his family combined were not enough to cover the cost of a bag of fabric.
Although his family is poor and has a heavy burden, his character is particularly good and his moral bottom line is even higher. He is the kind of person who never lies or falsely accuses anyone.
As for Ye Qingyun, Ye Qingqing knew from the look on his expression that he deliberately asked Brother Bai to drag him in front of him.
He knocked down Brother Bai and lost the cloth, with the ultimate goal of coming to see him.
Ye Qingqing glared at Ye Qingyun and said immediately: "Brother Bai, don't panic."
"I know this."
"We grew up together. With your character, Brother Bai, I will believe your words even if there are no witnesses. Don't worry, no matter whether Ye Qingyun pays for those two bags of fabrics, Brother Bai doesn't have to pay for it."
"Brother Bai, did you fall somewhere? Do you want to go to the county hospital?"
"Just tell the truth. Don't worry about medical expenses and examination fees. I will pay for your medical expenses and examination fees. If you get injured while working for me, I should pay for your medical expenses and examination fees."
As soon as Ye Qingqing finished speaking, Brother Bai moved his hands and wiped his eyes.
The value of two bags of fabric was an astronomical figure for Brother Bai. Brother Bai was prepared for Ye Qingyun not to pay, or for Ye Qingqing not to let Ye Qingyun pay, and for him to pay.
I really can't afford to pay for the sale, and it's really not my fault.
Who would have thought that Ye Qingqing would express his stance before the witnesses arrived!
Brother Bai looked touched and choked with emotion as he said: "Ye Qingqing, thank you for believing in me. Thank you. I didn't fall anywhere and I don't need to go to the hospital."
"Those two bags of fabric were indeed thrown away because I resisted them. I am also somewhat responsible.
You know, my family is poor and I don’t have the money to compensate you, so I only have the strength. So, let me give you free fabrics or other goods that last for 2 months to offset my responsibility in this matter.
In the future, if you need any goods that need to be shipped or moved, just come to me!"
