Chapter 451 Regret
There's no point in wasting time on someone whose brain is full of shit.
I just want to get rid of these people as soon as possible, so I can get rid of them.
"Wait," Bai He stopped A Da as he was about to step forward. She glanced at the group of troublemaking women, then looked at Zhou Hai and Old Huo, "You think you can just leave like nothing happened after you've beaten someone in our Linshui Village? I won't allow that."
Zhou Hai and Old Man Huo also immediately realized what was happening, along with Aunt Zhou and the others.
Yes, they beat someone up in their Linshui village and thought they could just leave like that? Dream on.
"Pay up!" Granny Zhou said, hands on her hips. "We won't bully you. You scratched Chang'er's neck, so each household should pay one tael of silver, and we won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise..."
Granny Zhou exchanged glances with the other old women around her, and snorted coldly, "Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
"This, this..." The village head of Xiahe Village, who had been speechless, finally found an opportunity and said, his face flushed, "One tael is too much..."
"It's inevitable that there will be occasional disputes among neighbors. Even if a fight breaks out, the apology will only be an egg..."
"Who said we're from the same village as you? You're all so shameless."
"Putting aside everything else, just the fact that you from Xiahe Village came to cause trouble and we reported it to the government office will make you suffer the consequences."
"We've already wasted so much of Chang'er's time, why waste words with them? Don't we have two constables here? Let's ask you two to make a trip to the county government and have the magistrate uphold justice for our Chang'er!"
"Yes, please let the county magistrate come and uphold justice for our Chang'er."
The aunts, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers of Linshui Village were filled with righteous indignation, their voices echoing throughout the hall.
This terrified everyone from Xiahe Village, and the elder who had spoken earlier now deeply regretted his actions.
If he had known that the people of Linshui Village were so fierce, he would never have come here.
And these women, of all people to mess with, they just pick on the ones who are the most difficult to mess with.
The two constables named, Chen Jiu and Wang Quan, immediately patted their chests and said, "Fellow villagers, rest assured, we brothers will take care of this matter and will report to the magistrate without fail."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and threw punches at the same time, with Wang Quan ultimately winning.
Wang Quan was overjoyed. Lord Wu didn't say it to his face, but it was definitely a done deal with Lin Da Dongjia.
When Lin Da Dong was bullied, he reported it immediately, and Lord Wu will surely remember his merit.
I often show my face in front of Master Lin and Lord Wu. If I ever stop being a yamen runner, it wouldn't be bad to be Master Lin's bodyguard.
Wang Quan, carrying his knife, was about to head out the door, all excited and eager.
The village head of Xiahe Village hurriedly stopped him, pleading, "Wait, we'll pay, we'll pay, brother constable, we'll pay with silver..."
Wang Quan pursed his lips. He's finally sober now. Where was he before?
If a reconciliation can be reached without alarming Lord Wu, that would be a good thing.
However, Wang Quan looked at Lin Chang'er, wondering if Lin Da Dongjia was willing.
Judging from the situation just now, it was clear that Boss Lin was no longer willing to communicate with them.
Lin Chang'er didn't want to bring the matter to Wu Qingfeng's attention, so she nodded to Wang Quan and looked at the village head of Xiahe Village.
The village head of Xiahe Village hurriedly spoke up, "But, but one tael of silver is just too much. As you know, Master Lin, we all toil in the fields for a living. Earning a little silver is not easy, and saving it is even harder. A few dozen coins a month is already a blessing from heaven. One tael of silver is something they couldn't scrape together even if they sold everything they owned..."
Then he looked at Lin Chang'er with a troubled expression.
Lin Chang'er wasn't trying to rob anyone. She was just going along with the old women to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they would think she was easy to bully, especially since these women showed no remorse whatsoever.
Lin Chang'er thought for a moment and said, "If you don't have money, then let them work to pay off the debt. Last time there was a big flood, which washed away a section of the roadbed on the main road. Let the men from those families repair it."
"Once the repairs were completed that day, the matter was considered closed, but I still maintain my stance: I won't accept any kids from Xiahe Village..."
