Chapter 134 : Not allowed to report to the police? Then pay money

Su Xieqiu listened to his endless chatter, and her face darkened. “Captain, what do you mean by saying I’m awesome? I used to be so obedient, but I was bullied by them a lot. Yang Lanhua made me do all kinds of work and would starve me for a few days if she was not satisfied with me. Even her daughter and daughter-in-law took advantage of me. Why didn’t you say we were a family back then? Why didn’t you persuade them to be nicer to me? Now you come here to be a peacemaker, but I don’t know if you’re doing this for justice or friendship.”

Su Xieqiu pinched her waist, glared, and put on an appearance of not being easy to mess with. She said loudly, “From now on, I’ll be a person who’s not easy to bully. If anyone dares to mess with me, I will never let them have an easy time.”

Han Baoqiang originally thought that since he was the team leader and Han Zhenyu’s cousin, Su Xieqiu would definitely give him face.

But he never expected that this girl would speak so bluntly. Not only did she not save his face, but she also ridiculed him and made him lose face in front of so many people.

Han Baoqiang was angry and annoyed, and said with a stern face, “Zhenyu’s wife, I am Zhenyu’s cousin. I don’t want your family to be so upset, so I came here with good intentions to help you reconcile. Instead, you think of me like this. How can a little girl have so many thoughts and do things so heartlessly? Who will dare to get along with you in the future?”

Su Xieqiu interrupted him impatiently, “Come on, stop making yourself sound so noble. Save your kindness for others. I don’t need it, and I don’t trust you.”

Then she muttered to herself, thinking, ‘Everyone knows that your wife and Yang Lanhua, Yang Chunhua, are as close as one person, and you were just about to take sides. I’m not stupid, I won’t ask you to help mediate.’

Han Baoqiang’s face flushed with anger, “You… you really don’t know what’s good for you.”

“Yes, I just don’t know what’s good for me,” Su Xieqiu snorted coldly. “You want to plot against me? No way.”

Yang Chunhua’s husband should have been smarter. Even though he was angry with his wife and sister-in-law, he couldn’t just watch them go to jail.

But now the situation was becoming increasingly tense, and that troublemaker Su Xieqiu was refusing to give in.

He felt overwhelmed, and after discussing with his cousin and son for a while, he decided to ask the captain to go over and persuade them again, and also to find out what their demands were.

The captain glared at them, then called Grandpa Du aside and kindly advised him, “Old man, to be honest, I have a pretty good relationship with Zhenyu, and I’ve done enough for the Han family.”

“But I still want to advise you to reconsider. If Zhenyu’s wife really reports to the police and arrests Yang Lanhua and Yang Chunhua, not to mention the impact on our team, Zhenyu and his wife’s reputation in the village will not be good in the future. Now they want to settle it privately, how about you put forward a condition and let this matter go today?”

The captain said this from the bottom of his heart. Half of the people in the Sanhua Brigade have the surname Han, and most of them are related to him.

In the eyes of rural people, fighting is not uncommon. Sometimes brothers even fight with each other, but no one has ever suggested calling the police.

Grandpa Du and Su Xieqiu had no intention of reporting to the police. They said that just to scare the Han family.

The captain had advised them twice, and his advice was so sincere. If they did the opposite, it would be a bit ungrateful.

Grandpa Du pretended to hesitate for a moment and said, “Captain, I know you mean well, but Zhenyu’s wife has suffered a great injustice and can’t swallow this anger. I don’t know if I can persuade her.”

When the captain heard him say this, he knew there was hope for this matter, and he immediately smiled and complimented him, “Old man, I see that Zhenyu’s wife respects you very much, so your words must be effective.”

Grandpa Du forced a smile and waved at Su Xieqiu.

When she came over, he explained what the captain meant, then gave her some fake advice.

Su Xieqiu pretended to be unhappy and said, “Captain, you’ve all seen how arrogant the Han family is. Not to mention Yang Lanhua and Yang Chunhua, even Han Meili dared to slap me in the face in front of so many people. I’ve been bullied like this. If you still don’t allow me to report to the police, where is the justice?”

The captain was choked by her words and felt that the Han family was foolish.

He really didn’t know how Yang Lanhua raised her daughter. She was about to get married and still didn’t know how to restrain herself. She was so foolish it left him speechless.

Grandpa Du was worried that his granddaughter-in-law would overact and that the captain would get angry and not care about anything else, leaving them with no way out. He was just about to give her a signal to stop.

But Su Xieqiu said seriously, “Captain, you’ve helped us a lot during this period, and you and Han Zhenyu have a good relationship. So I will give you a favor today and not report it to the police.”

The captain was a bit angry at first, but hearing her flatter him, his anger subsided. Just as he was about to smile, he heard Su Xieqiu continue

“Captain, although I won’t report it to the police for your sake, this matter cannot be left unresolved. The Han family must compensate me. Because of the slap Han Meili gave me just now, my old illness has flared up. I’m afraid I won’t be able to work for a long time. She has to compensate me with food and money. And Yang Chunhua and her two daughters-in-law are even worse. I have nothing to do with them, so why did they break into my house and commit crimes, demanding compensation from me?”

After saying that, she looked at the captain again and said, “Captain, I’m not blackmailing them. If I don’t make them pay a little and learn their lesson, others will think I’m easy to bully. Then anyone will dare to break into my house and beat me up in the future.”

Captain: “…”

He thought to himself, ‘Who would dare to come to your house to cause trouble when you’re such a troublemaker?’

He couldn’t say this, so he smiled and asked, “Then how much are you going to ask them to pay? Just tell me a number and I’ll go talk to them.”

Su Xieqiu calculated her current needs and began to make demands. “Yang Lanhua and Han Meili must compensate me with 100 yuan, 50 eggs, and 100 kilograms of grain. As for Yang Chunhua and her two daughters-in-law, although their behavior is worse, since their family asked the captain to intercede for them, I can’t demand too much and will let them pay the same amount as Yang Lanhua.”

“…”

After hearing the conditions, the captain really wanted to ask her, ‘Please do it for my sake and don’t make this difficult for me.’

He glanced at Grandpa Du, who seemed calm, as if he didn’t think Su Xieqiu’s demands were excessive. So, he had no choice but to pass on the message.

When the two families heard the large sum, they were furious, especially Yang Chunhua’s youngest son.

He cursed, “They have no money, so let them report to the police. Look at what that woman thinks. She really thinks the police station belongs to her family and she can arrest anyone she wants.”

Yang Chunhua’s husband yelled, “Shut up.”

Then he turned to the captain with a sad face and said, “Hongbing, we are all farmers. After a year, we don’t have much money left except for food. We really can’t take it out.”

The captain now understood that Han Zhenyu’s wife was so cunning and must have left room for bargaining.

He said to the two families, “Then you all discuss how much you can pay. I’ll talk to Zhenyu’s wife and ask her to lower the amount. If the negotiation fails, you can go to the public security bureau to resolve it.”

He really wanted to take care of these messes.

Yang Chunhua’s husband hurriedly thanked him, “Okay, okay, thank you, Captain.”

After several rounds of bargaining, Su Xieqiu was still not satisfied.

The captain gritted his teeth in anger, glanced at her, and said, “I don’t think your head is seriously injured. It’s not as bad as Han Meili and Zhang Qianyun’s. It’s okay. If you keep pushing them, it will be hard to resolve.”

Su Xieqiu reluctantly agreed, “Well, since the captain has interceded for them, I’ll suffer a little loss today and give the captain some face.”

The captain didn’t want to pay attention to her anymore. When he saw that she agreed, he hurried over to pass on the message, hoping that the matter could be resolved as soon as possible. It really annoyed him.

In the end, it was decided that each family would compensate Su Xieqiu with 20 yuan, 15 eggs, and 20 kilograms of cornmeal.

Su Xieqiu had the team leader write an agreement. If the two families did not cause trouble again in the future, the matter would be over.

If they caused trouble again, Su Xieqiu had the right to hold them accountable.

This was the end of the matter.

Xiang Guoqiang put away the pen and letter paper, looked at the Han family returning to the village, and then looked at the backs of Su Xieqiu and her group.

He smiled and said to Roger next to him, “This Su Zhiqing is really something.”

The agreement just now was written by the team leader from the Youth League Institute, using Xiang Guoqiang’s pen and writing paper, so they knew the full details of the matter.

Luo Jie smiled and nodded, “She’s really something, especially her mouth. It’s as fast as a machine gun. Her mind works quickly, and it seems like her skills are good too. Her sister-in-law’s were beaten by her, and in the end, they had to pay her. Her scheming and methods are really admirable.”

The two of them looked at the female educated youth whispering to each other at the same time.

They felt that if they kept talking like this, they would probably be beaten up and maybe even have to pay with eggs.

But Su Xieqiu didn’t think it was shameful to blackmail others!
