Chapter 22 Just pay some money and you’ll be fine
Mr. Zhao quickly finished talking to the village chief and turned back to find his old wife.
The Zhao family all came, and even Li Yuebai came to see Lu Ming, who was still in tears.
"How is it?"
Li Xiuxiu was the most impatient, and Mr. Zhao couldn't wait to ask as soon as he came over.
Mr. Zhao glanced at Ma Er's wife, who was still kneeling on the ground, and sighed.
"They are all from the village. She has evil intentions, but she didn't make a big mistake. I discussed with the village chief that her family should give some gifts to Lu Yatou."
"After the flash flood, there are many places in the village that need money. The Ma family will provide more money. This will not happen next time."
"What? That's it?" Li Xiuxiu was the first to be unconvinced, "She has already stolen the baby, why should we let her go like this?"
"Isn't it, dad? I know you are soft-hearted, so you won't be so soft-hearted!"
Mrs. Zhao and her husband followed suit, with expressions of disapproval.
On the other hand, Zhao Laosan and his wife remained silent.
Boss Zhao also disagreed, "Dad, the punishment is too light. No one will dare to steal children in the future."
Mrs. Zhao was not in a hurry to object, and asked clearly about the specific situation, "How much gift will the Ma family give? How much will it cost?"
Mr. Zhao: "Let her family take care of the gift given to Lu Yatou. If it's less, it will only be considered if the village chief and our family look at it and nod. In addition, his family will pay half of the money for repairing our house."
"I didn't check the amount of money given to the village in detail. It depends on the village chief's intention. It's quite a lot."
Li Xiuxiu sneered, "The village chief still knows how to do things. If the Ma family steals my child, the entire village will be compensated."
Mr. Zhao also knows that it is not appropriate. Such compensation is naturally a good thing for the entire village. The Zhao family will suffer a loss, especially the third room.
If you don't leave your child alone, you won't know the pain.
.
"Third, what do you think?"
Zhao Laosan, who had been sullen and silent, was called by his father. He touched Lu Ming's little head lovingly and wiped away the small tears on the girl's cheeks.
"You all listen to dad."
"Third brother! You can't let it go like this."
Li Xiuxiu is so anxious that she just wants to pay a little money and settle the matter? If the child is gone, who cares about the little money to repair the house?
This time, Zhao Lao Er did not take advantage of his wife's side. He put his hand on Zhao Lao San's shoulder, "Forget it, wife, my third brother already said that he listens to his father."
The more Li Xiuxiu thought about it, the angrier she became. He Sutong quickly pulled her aside and said, "Second brother and sister, don't get angry. Look, the third brother and sister didn't say anything."
Speaking of this, Li Xiuxiu became even more angry. The third sister-in-law is weak and weak, but she cannot allow me, my sister-in-law, to stand up for her.
"Second sister-in-law, it's okay. Whether the Ma family is willing to pay the money or not is another matter. If you are not satisfied with the money, just pay the money and the problem will be over."
Li Yuebai kissed Lu Ming's forehead. Her daughter was well-behaved, she only cried for a while and never caused trouble to others. What a good child.
The clay figurine is still somewhat bloody, not to mention the mother who is concerned about the safety of her child.
Thinking that Lu Ming was almost taken away by Ma's second daughter-in-law, and that the Ma family came to make trouble during the day, saying that they would drown Lu Ming, Li Yuebai couldn't stop the anger in his heart.
That's it on the surface, but behind the scenes, if something happens to the Ma family, he deserves it.
Zhao Lao Er leaned into Zhao Lao San's ear and whispered: "Third brother, don't forget to call Second Brother."
I had noticed that there was something wrong in the third brother's eyes, and he was holding back his anger, so he said that with his temperament, he would not let it go like this.
Boss Zhao patted his brother on the shoulder, "Brother, I'll tell you the truth, go ahead and do it."
Give trouble to two people
Boss Zhao is already familiar with the matter of wiping his younger brother's butt.
While the Zhao family was talking, Ma Er's daughter-in-law kept listening secretly with her ears pricked up. However, there were so many people watching and they were always noisy, so she could only hear a few words intermittently.
Pay an apology? This is great! As long as anyone pays, the problem will be solved. The Ma family has money and can afford it.
Mrs. Ma stood aside and waited anxiously. She wanted to leave early, but the village chief refused, so she had to stay in embarrassment and was completely humiliated.
"mother."
Boss Ma, who had arrived late, walked slowly towards Mrs. Ma wearing a satin gown.
Boss Ma was clean and tidy, and he could tell that he had just left the house after cleaning up.
"My son."
Mrs. Ma seemed to have seen a savior and hurried over.
Mrs. Ma had just had a fight with her daughter-in-law. Her clothes were covered in mud and there were several muddy footprints. Her face was stained and her hair was spread out. She looked like a crazy woman.
"Mom? How did you do this?"
Didn’t you say that your younger siblings were taken away? My mother was surrounded no matter what.
Boss Ma is here, and Ma’s second daughter-in-law is more hopeful, "Brother."
Boss Ma heard Ma's second wife's voice and looked over with a frown.
Mrs. Ma looked miserable, and Ma's second daughter-in-law didn't show any mercy. There were a few scratches on her arms that were bleeding.
It happened that the village chief came forward, and Boss Ma stepped forward to question.
"Village chief, how come my mother and siblings were beaten like this? Even if my siblings did something wrong, what does it have to do with my mother!"
The village chief did not take the blame: "I didn't let anyone beat them."
Madam Ma smiled coquettishly and took her son's arm, "Son, it's none of the village chief's business."
You can't offend the village chief if you offend anyone in the village.
Boss Ma didn't know why. He wasn't the village chief. Could he be the Zhao family?
The Zhao family are all scholars.
Literati, you don’t know how to hit women, right?
"It's all that bitch! How dare you hit me!"
Mrs. Ma started to scold Ma's second daughter-in-law again.
"Bitch! I won't beat you to death when I get back!"
Ma Er's wife shrank back, praying that the man would come back soon. If Ma Er came back, she would still have a way to survive and would not be beaten to death by her mother-in-law.
After the discussion came to an end, the village chief cleared his throat without wasting time.
Still have to sleep.
"Okay, okay, everyone, calm down and listen to me."
The village chief spoke, and the noisy crowd fell silent instantly.
"I have discussed it with the Zhao family. Since everyone is here, I will say it in front of everyone."
Ma's second daughter-in-law was the most nervous, with her heart in her throat. Her parents had no intention of standing up for her. If she was kicked out, how would she live?
"The Ma family apologizes to the Zhao family. The Ma family will get half of the money spent on building a new house for the Zhao family, and they have to make an apology to Lu Yatou. I won't agree to anything less!"
"In addition, the Ma family also got 30 taels for the village to rest and recover."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd that had been quiet just now exploded.
"Mother, 30 taels!"
"Can the Ma family just pay some money and settle the matter?"
"How to divide 30 taels? Will each family get a little bit?"
"Quiet! Quiet!" The village chief raised his voice.
"Ma family, do you agree?"
Ma Er's wife nodded hurriedly, "Agree, agree! Village chief, we have no objection."
"Bah! You bastard, you still want my family to pay for it? I won't do it!"
Mrs. Ma refused without even thinking about it. Even if she had to compensate the Zhao family, she still wanted to give 30 taels to the village. Why!
Anyway, she didn't want to spend a penny, so she just divorced Ma's second daughter-in-law, and it wouldn't cost so much to marry another one.
Rich.
"You!" Ma Er's wife got up from the ground, pointed at Mrs. Ma, and said fiercely: "Don't forget who came up with the idea. If you don't pay, I will fight with you!"
Madam Ma disagreed, "You are deceived and want to steal the baby, don't rely on me."
Ma's second daughter-in-law rushed over angrily, but was stopped by Boss Ma.
"Old immortal, it was you who came up with the idea. When we went to Zhao's house to cause trouble during the day, you were the one who took the lead. Everyone was watching!"
"If we can't make trouble during the day, it's you who asked me to steal the child, and then let me steal it out and drown it after you betrayed it!"
After saying this, Mrs. Ma also started to panic.
"Shut up! You bitch, I'll beat you to death!"
Boss Ma was caught in the middle, and his thin body couldn't even resist the two women.
When things got to this point, the village chief was so angry that his liver ached.
Two vicious women! What a cruel heart.
Li Yuebai's eyes were already red, and his heart ached.
My Lu Ming was almost drowned by two poisonous women!
Li Xiuxiu couldn't bear it any longer. She stepped forward quickly, opened her bow from left to right, and slapped Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Ma's second daughter-in-law several times in the face.
After a few slaps with enough force, Mrs. Ma was slapped to the ground. Her face was swollen, and she pointed at Li Xiuxiu tremblingly, "How dare you hit me."
"It was you who hit!"
Li Xiuxiu kicked her hard several times. Mrs. Ma was kicked so hard that her bones hurt and she rolled around.
Ma Er's wife covered her face and took a few steps back silently, not daring to offend Li Xiuxiu.
This damn girl was known to be fierce before she was married, and she would hit anyone. After getting married and having a baby, she restrained herself a lot, and she almost forgot how ferociously she used to hit people.
