Chapter 106: The toad crawls on your instep. It won’t bite you, but it will disgust you.
What's even more perverted is that when Wen Wan finished her make-up midterm exam and was about to return to Qinghe Village, she found out that Xie Changqing had already settled the village affairs and let her stay in a hotel so that it would be convenient for him to come and see her in the evening.
Wen Wan cursed him as a pervert in her heart again.
Xu Keqin has been detained, while Wen Ya and Lu Yiming are still participating in the labor reform of repairing the dam, but their reform time has been extended by three months.
The bastards in the village who followed Xu Keqin to cause trouble for Wen Wan were also sent to the back mountain to open up wasteland.
Fortunately, winter is the slack season for farmers, so it does not delay work in the fields and the village can reclaim more land to grow crops. Everyone is very happy with the outcome.
But these bastards felt very wronged, so when they heard that Wen Wan and Xie Changqing had returned, they immediately ran over.
Although she was not afraid, Wen Wan still pretended to hide in Xie Changqing's arms subconsciously.
Seeing her like this, Xie Changqing was very happy. The expressions on the little brats' faces were even more different, and it could be seen that they were all thinking different things.
Wen Wan looked around and thought they must have something to ask her.
It's not hard to guess what's going on. The farmers are reclaiming wasteland, and although it's voluntary labor without pay, they have accepted it over the days.
The main reason for being able to accept it is not because you have done something wrong, but because you can accept pioneering more than being soft.
Because clearing new land only requires some effort, and effort is free.
After all the trouble Wen Wan had in the hospital, plus the mental damages, nutrition fees, and other things, the compensation amount is not a small amount.
Xu Keqin is facing the confiscation of his family property. It is impossible for him to come up with money under such circumstances. They can only share the cost equally, and in the end each person has to come up with a lot of money.
It’s a problem for rural people to have food, so where would the money come from? Even if they have money, they would feel it is unfair and don’t want to spend it.
Precisely because they didn't want to pay, they went to the back hill to open up wasteland without making any noise, just to behave better and see if they could avoid having to pay.
The leader was Xu Yichang, the nephew of Xu Keqin. He first made a heartfelt apology, and then said that he was instigated by Xu Keqin to shirk the main responsibility.
Finally, he got to the point and pleaded for himself.
"Brother, sister-in-law, the elders in the clan have scolded us one by one. We really know we are wrong. Even if something serious happened, we shouldn't take advantage of brother's absence to bully sister-in-law, a young wife.
What we did was particularly unkind. Our hands and shoulders were all bruised from all the time we were clearing the land.
We depended on the harvest from the fields. Xu Keqin would embezzle part of the grain, so the grain we got could only barely feed our family.
The money for our children's schooling was borrowed from here and there, and we really don't have the money to compensate.
Besides, we are also victims in this incident. That female comrade acted quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. My legs are still unable to walk normally until now, so I can be considered as being punished.
Please see if you can spare us."
Wen Wan raised her head from Xie Changqing's arms and looked at him, meaning to let him make the decision.
Xie Changqing raised his eyebrows in surprise and was about to speak when Xu Fengqin appeared out of nowhere.
"You guys are really shameless. You hurt him so badly that he had to stay in the hospital for several days. Now you're just going to let it go? Don't even think about it."
Knowing that she was Wen Wan's sister-in-law, although the bastard was angry, he didn't say anything.
Xu Yichang said very politely: "Sister-in-law, my second brother and sister-in-law didn't say anything, you..."
"What's wrong with me? I'm Wanwan's family. I can't talk anymore, right?"
"Yes, yes. I didn't say you couldn't, but you..."
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Xie Changqing looked at Wen Wan and said, "You handle it! Anything is fine."
Wen Wan understood what he meant instantly, curled her lips, looked at everyone and said, "I know you were also bewitched by Xu Keqin.
You guys are the same. You followed him here to cause trouble to me without asking for the details of the situation, and you did it while my Xie Changqing was not at home.
It's not easy to deal with a group of men bullying a young wife. In the future, your son will also talk to his wife. The men in our village often form groups to bully a woman. If this gets out, who would dare to marry their daughter to our village?
Even if there is someone willing to marry, the bride price will definitely increase!
You have to look at everything in the long term, not just at the present.
Even if we only look at the present, this is a new society, and the new society has laws. If you really hurt me, none of you will be able to escape, and you will all have to go to jail like Hacken Tsui.
This kind of thing is against the law, and it will be useless even if I plead for mercy.
Fortunately, things are not so out of control. I believe you were just impulsive at the time. I am fine now. Life is not easy for people in the countryside. Now I have to do voluntary labor for another three months. I think I will forget about the compensation.
But reclaiming wasteland is a punishment imposed by the town, and I have no say. Besides, reclaiming wasteland is for the benefit of our village, so it is a good thing.”
The speech was both kind and strict. He told them the short-term and long-term consequences of beating others, and at the same time, he sympathized with their difficulties and waived the compensation.
The bunnies looked at each other for a moment, then nodded happily to each other.
"Second sister-in-law, you are completely different from what they said. You are such a good person."
Wen Wan said "Oh" out of curiosity, "How do they describe me?"
Xu Yichang scratched the back of his neck a little embarrassedly, "Nothing, just... I'm fine."
After the person left, Xie Changqing raised his eyebrows again in a questioning manner, apparently jealous.
Wen Wan was a little speechless, "No way, big brother, I just said a few words to him, and in front of you, you don't have to be so possessive!"
Xie Changqing felt warmed by his small emotion being seen and responded to. He then nodded and commented: "You are willing to let them go."
"You've paved the way for me so far. If I don't appreciate it, I'd be not only heartless, but also extremely stupid."
Xie Changqing never thought of asking them to pay compensation. He included the compensation in the penalty notice just to get Wen Wan to do him a favor.
As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain, and there is also a saying that goes, "Leave a way out for others so that you can meet again in the future."
Although these villains cannot do anything big and bad, they are like toads crawling on the back of your feet. They won’t bite you, but they will disgust you.
Even if they are sentenced according to the law, they will only be detained for a few days at most.
After a few days of detention, the hatred grew stronger.
They would not think that it was Xu Keqin who harmed them, but only that Wen Wan was too unkind. They lived in the same village and she did not really get beaten, but she was so cruel as to lock them up for a few days.
Although I don't dare to settle the score with her openly, it's completely okay to do some small things behind her back.
For example, putting laxatives, contraceptives, and other drugs into the well may not kill people in the short term, but it will cause great harm to the body over a long period of time.
Or they would throw stones at her windows in the middle of the night, pretending to be ghosts and scaring her to death.
In short, there are many people who do bad things, but there are only thieves who can do it for a thousand years, and no one can guard against thieves for a thousand years.
Now she is generous enough to let them go. Although they may not be able to show any mercy when encountering problems, they will definitely not harm her again.
To Wen Wan, there was nothing wrong in the first place. Going to the hospital was just an attempt to make Xu Keqin's crime more serious.
In short, the benefits of letting them go are far greater than punishing them.
What's more, they have already been punished with three months of labor reform, and Wen Wan has also done them a favor, what a good thing.
