Chapter 135: If You Make a Mistake, You Should Be Punished
Yu Yu couldn't laugh or cry, so he raised his foot and kicked Tiedan, "Stop howling, Shunzi is still alive and has been rescued."
"Ah?" Tiedan looked like a fool, with snot and tears still hanging on his face. His expression suddenly froze, and then instantly turned into ecstasy, "Shunzi is still alive? Great, great!"
After he screamed, he grinned and complained, "I was beaten so much that it hurts so much, and you kicked me on the injured spot."
"I don't know, let alone if I ask you to beg for one, how can you grab it?" Yu Yu complained, but stretched out his hand to pull him up, and tears flowed out unconsciously.
Zhang Lingzhi couldn't see this the most. He turned around and began to cry. Bai Tian comforted him and said don't let the children laugh.
"How about I beg a favor for him and the punishment will be waived?" Li Jinniu was a little embarrassed. He never thought that the boy who snatched things knew the girl Banxia. Wouldn't the girl Banxia think he was unkind?
Several other teenagers looked at Li Jinniu, and Ping An took Liuzi to kneel down to Li Jinniu and said, "Please help me to speak. Tiedan is just in a hurry, and he won't do it again in the future."
Bai Banxia suddenly said, "There is no need to plead. If you break the law, you should be punished."
"You..." Ping An looked at her with wide eyes, "Why are you so inhumane?"
Li Jinniu was also a little surprised. He was afraid that Girl Pinellia would think he was unkind, but he didn't know that Girl Pinellia would be more ruthless than him.
"What he did for his friends is indeed touching, but it is illegal to steal people's things no matter what, and they should be punished. If everyone has a helpless reason, then can everyone break the law? Isn't the world in chaos?
"Bai Banxia said.
Ping An was unconvinced, "You are rich enough to stand and talk without back pain. If it were you and your brother was dying, wouldn't you help him grab it?"
"I can do it too." Bai Banxia did not deny it. "When I am desperate, I will do something even if I know I am wrong, but I will accept the punishment I deserve afterwards. Otherwise, I am innocent, and those who were robbed by me for no reason will
Aren't people innocent? It's impossible to have a clear conscience for everything in life, and it's impossible to never make mistakes. What's important is how to face it and how to make amends."
She continued: "If you use others as an excuse, and you use being forced to do nothing as an excuse, what is the difference between you and those evil people?"
She would never plead for Tiedan, because that would only harm the young man.
Bai Banxia's words made Tiedan extremely ashamed. He stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand to Yu Yu, turned to Li Jinniu and said, "Brother, I will go and collect the punishment from you. This is what I deserve for robbing people."
Ping An was still a little confused, but he stopped talking and fell into deep thought.
Yu Yu, on the other hand, froze on the spot holding the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, his brows furrowed tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Don't worry too much. He should be punished for grabbing things, but if you admit your mistakes with a correct attitude, adults usually only give you a few slaps." Li Jinniu comforted everyone.
"It's okay. Take care of Shunzi and don't follow me. I don't want you to see me being spanked." Tiedan scratched his head and smiled a little sheepishly.
Li Jinniu didn't want to delay any longer, so he clasped his fists and saluted Bai Tian and the others, saying that he had to escort them back first.
"Brother Li, thank you for your hard work. Just keep things official." This sentence was Bai Banxia's reminder to him. She understood Li Jinniu's good intentions, but Li Jinniu's words just now were used to make a fuss about his errands.
It may not be possible to save it.
"Okay." Li Jinniu responded with a smile, not knowing how much he understood.
When they walked away, Bai Banxia turned to the fish and said, "You come with me and come back to pick them up after they have settled in."
"Okay." Yu Yu came to his senses and followed her.
Bai Banxia returned to the stall and asked Du Sanniang if she was willing to rent a room to Yu Yu.
She remembered that Du Sanniang had told her in a casual chat that she had an empty house at home, and that if the weather was bad or the stall was late, she asked Bai Banxia and his family to stay there.
"How about letting them stay temporarily for half a month and giving them two hundred coins?" Bai Banxia said.
Du Sanniang waved her hand, "How can a room cost as much as two hundred cash, let alone only half a month, fifty cash is enough."
Bai Banxia gave her a hundred coins, "They will have to use your firewood and water, so just give her a hundred coins."
"Okay, I'll go back and tidy up, and I'll just go over there later." Du Sanniang accepted it readily without any ink.
Seeing that the matter was settled like this, Yu Yu kept thanking Bai Banxia. Bai Banxia asked him to pick up the person and said that he would send the medicine later.
"Let's go pick him up and let Xiao Qi accompany you to get the medicine." Zhang Lingzhi felt sorry for those children and wanted to help them.
"Okay, you guys find a wooden board to carry this person. Don't let his ribs get dislocated again." Bai Banxia explained.
Du Sanniang heard this and said, "I'll help you borrow a flatbed truck for a while."
She ran to a nearby shop to borrow a car. Bai Banxia saw her talking to the other party for a long time from a distance, and secretly gave her a copper plate, but she didn't mention it when she came back.
Du Sanniang is cheerful and never likes to talk about money matters, but she has a warm heart.
Afterwards, Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen went to a cheap drug store to grab medicine. On the way back after grabbing the medicine, Qi Zhen suddenly looked at her and said, "If I hadn't met you, I might be like them."
Bai Banxia was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "If you join them, they won't be bullied. With your skills, it should be the other party who is beaten to death."
"Without you, I would most likely still be half-dead, and I would only be bullied." Qi Zhen said.
Bai Banxia raised her eyebrows, "I don't believe you can be so weak."
Qi Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, "Am I strong in your heart?"
"It's okay, it's just a little worse than me." She laughed and walked forward.
He also laughed, took two steps faster to catch up with her, and grabbed her sleeve again.
After Shunzi was settled, Bai Banxia's family said goodbye and returned to the village, and Yu Yu also went out.
He went to the shop where he stole the notice paper. He knelt at the door with a thorn stick on his back and said, "I stole your notice paper a few days ago. Stealing is not something a gentleman does. I'm here to plead guilty and ask the shopkeeper to punish me!"
The shopkeeper looked confused, "Didn't I lose the notice?"
Yu Yu blushed and said, "I tore off a piece of paper at the bottom. It's not obvious if you don't look carefully."
The shopkeeper looked at the notice and asked the boy to take out the previous one to compare. Hey, it was really shorter.
"Thank you for thinking it through, but it's not a big deal. Just know that you made a mistake and don't do it again in the future." The shopkeeper said, somewhat dumbfounded.
Yu Yu didn't get up, "Someone told me that if I made a mistake, I should accept punishment and work hard to make amends, no matter the reason. It's really wrong for me to steal things, please punish me from the shopkeeper."
As he spoke, he knelt down and buried his head on the ground.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, then walked over, took off the thorn stick and whipped him three times.
"That person is right. I appreciate your attitude of knowing your mistakes and correcting them. I also hope you will remember the lesson and not make the same mistake again in the future."
Yu Yu's back was in burning pain, but he got up from the ground, his back straight. Now he could finally stand up straight and be a human being.
