Chapter 027 Compensation
Until a voice came out, "Master, these pancakes and fruits can't be eaten."
"Ouch, compensation!"
Zhou Xiaomeng looked back at Gu Weizhi who was crying, slapped her on the head, and finally remembered.
But looking up, those officials had already escorted the gangsters away, and she couldn't follow them to the Yamen to ask for compensation.
And she really didn't want to interact with those stupid officials.
But looking at the mess all over the floor, there are still one, two...five pancakes and fruits, each worth twenty cents, which is one hundred cents, as well as the aunt's basket and the oilcloth covering the basket. These add up to a lot of money.
Woolen cloth.
well.
Zhou Xiaomeng couldn't hold it back, she let out a sigh, glanced at the three people whose eyes were on her, tugged at the corner of her mouth helplessly, and shrugged.
Seeing the varying degrees of injuries on the three of them, she felt a burst of sadness and resentment. Now that she was fine, she had to pay for the medical expenses herself.
I can only find opportunities to ask those gangsters to get it back in the future.
But suddenly she felt a chill on her back. She narrowed her eyes sharply and turned around quickly, but saw nothing.
But the keenness of martial arts practitioners made her feel that it must be unusual.
Before she had time to explain to the husbands and Aunt Zhou, she handed the young man directly to the third husband and chased after him.
I followed my intuition until I reached the third intersection and finally saw that figure.
That's right.
This is the person I saw before.
A tiger rushed over and threw the man to the ground from behind. He didn't bother to get up, grabbed the man's collar and turned his face away.
"It's you."
Zhou Xiaomeng looked at the old face in front of her and recognized it as Aunt Wang who had bought pancakes rolled with green onions before.
"What are you dragging me for? Let me go."
Aunt Wang felt pain in her body, her heart was tight, and her eyes were panicked, but she still scolded Zhou Xiaomeng to let go of her.
This woman grew up on what she ate, and her hands are so strong.
Thinking of Zhou Xiaomeng's way of dealing with those official ladies alone, I felt less confident.
"What are you doing sneaking around? Why are you running?"
Zhou Xiaomeng was about to let go of her hand when she suddenly remembered that the adult was talking about someone kneeling down to stop the sedan and confusing right and wrong.
"It's you?"
"What?" Aunt Wang saw that Zhou Xiaomeng did not immediately rebuke her, thinking that she was too preoccupied. She just looked at what happened and did nothing.
"Are you talking nonsense to that adult?" Zhou Xiaomeng had already made up her mind, but she still asked, knowing that Aunt Wang would not admit it, so she stared at the change in the other person's expression.
"I don't have any nonsense. I just took a look and it doesn't break the law."
Aunt Wang felt guilty, her eyes were even more flustered, and her mouth was even more stubborn.
"You don't admit it, do you?!" Zhou Xiaomeng's eyes glowed red, remembering the unreasonable disaster that her husband and Aunt Zhou had suffered, and raised her hands high towards Aunt Wang's old face.
Aunt Wang was stunned. She didn't dare to think about what would happen to her old face if Zhou Xiaomeng's hand that could catch arrows with bare hands fell on her face. She covered her face and shrank away to hide.
Zhou Xiaomeng grabbed hold of her clothes and couldn't hide away. She was so frightened that she admitted everything.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, little lady, please forgive me. As long as you don't hit me, you can do whatever you want."
After saying that, he knelt down directly.
Zhou Xiaomeng's hand paused in mid-air, not because she was reluctant to do it, but because she felt afraid of getting her hands dirty.
He grabbed Aunt Wang's clothes and escorted her back to Aunt Zhou's stall.
The stall has almost been packed up.
The pancake fruit that fell on the ground was taken away by several hungry beggars.
Although it is too dirty to eat in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a rare and good opportunity for them.
Zhou Xiaomeng didn't say anything more, and pushed Aunt Wang, who had her face and neck shrinking and didn't dare to look at anyone, towards Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou was a little confused, "Why did you bring this person here?"
"Speak for yourself."
Zhou Xiaomeng crossed her arms and looked at Aunt Wang, not afraid that she would run away.
"Xiumei, I, I was wrong. I shouldn't have made trouble for you with those gangsters, let alone talked nonsense to the adults in the sedan. I was wrong. Considering that we have known each other for decades,
Please help me beg this little lady to stop hitting me."
"What?" Aunt Zhou screamed, and before Zhou Xiaomeng could react, she grabbed Aunt Wang's clothes, raised her hand high and slapped Aunt Wang.
Everyone was confused.
"Xiumei? You?"
Aunt Wang obviously did not expect that the always timid Aunt Zhou would take action. Her face was so numb from the beating that she forgot to cover it for a moment.
"Don't call me by my name, Wang Fugui. We have known each other for decades. Although you usually have trouble with me, I never thought that you would find someone to deal with me. Wang Fugui, you deserve to die."
While Aunt Zhou scolded Aunt Wang Fugui, she hit her head and face.
Not only was Zhou Xiaomeng and her two husbands stunned, but Wang Fugui and Mrs. Wang were also petrified.
…
From the conversation between the two, Zhou Xiaomeng also learned that the two were old friends who had known each other for decades. They were best friends when they were in the village and had been inseparable since childhood.
The difference came from the men. They both fell in love with a man at the same time, but the man liked Aunt Zhou and even married Aunt Zhou.
From then on, Aunt Wang hated Aunt Zhou and her husband. Not only did she later marry the man's brother and become relatives with Aunt Zhou, but she also opposed Aunt Zhou in everything.
Aunt Zhou later came to the city to sell pancakes and fruit, and Aunt Wang stole the cake and sold it too, but the taste she made was not as good as Aunt Zhou's, so she tried to trick Aunt Zhou.
This time, they directly bribed the gangsters on the street to target Aunt Zhou, and also wanted to send Aunt Zhou to prison.
After learning everything, Zhou Xiaomeng felt deeply: Men are a disaster.
well.
I secretly took a look at my two husbands and felt even more like this.
When Aunt Zhou was tired of beating her, she chased Aunt Wang away.
Zhou Xiaomeng stopped the person.
Aunt Wang's old face was already blue and red, and her voice leaked when she spoke.
"Keep beating, keep beating, I really can't see anyone anymore, please spare me."
After saying that, he knelt down directly in front of Zhou Xiaomeng.
"I won't beat you, but you have to compensate. Let me calculate, these five pancakes and fruit are worth one hundred cents, and the aunt's stall is worth one hundred cents. There are also physical losses, medical expenses are only five taels of silver, and mental losses, I
It’s only ten taels of silver, and there is also the work delay fee, so I get twenty taels of silver.”
"Well, the total is thirty-five taels of silver and two hundred wen."
"What?"
Aunt Wang was confused, her head was buzzing, and she didn't hear the words in front of her clearly. She only remembered that this fierce little lady wanted thirty-five taels and two hundred Wen to take care of her.
"You'd better beat me to death."
Aunt Wang is known for being stingy, and even if she has money, she won't pay for it. She is known for asking for money without shame, and for asking for money without her life.
"Okay, then I'll beat you to death."
Zhou Xiaomeng didn't waste any time, and started to move her wrist directly towards Aunt Wang, trying to strangle Aunt Wang's neck.
Aunt Wang was frightened, seeing Zhou Xiaomeng's evil mouth and murderous look in her eyes, thinking about how she taught the scarred face a lesson and how she dared to resist.
The so-called asking for money rather than life is just bluffing.
In a life-or-death situation, life is of course the most important thing.
"I didn't bring that much. I only have ten taels of silver with me. Is it okay?"
"Okay, I'll count what you owe, and you can give the rest directly to Aunt Zhou. If you don't give it, see how I deal with you."
As he spoke, he firmly grabbed her collar and pulled her forward.
"Give, I'll give."
Aunt Wang was frightened and nodded like garlic.
After Aunt Wang left, Zhou Xiaomeng checked the injuries of the three people and felt that they still had to go to the hospital.
If Mrs. Zhou doesn't go, she has to say that she is too old to waste the money.
After doing some calculations with Zhou Xiaomeng, she found that the commission from selling pancakes and fruits was a total of 775 yuan, including the things Zhou Xiaomeng bought. In addition, she also received the ten taels of silver given by Aunt Wang.
They were given to Zhou Xiaomeng together.
Zhou Xiaomeng was not polite to Aunt Zhou, but just reminded, "Auntie, don't forget that she has to replenish you fifteen or two hundred coins after you go back."
"Yeah." Aunt Zhou nodded. Over the years, she had been thinking about the friendship in the past and didn't want to completely break up. But since she wanted to put herself to death, she didn't need to be merciful anymore.
"Little lady, can you still come tomorrow?"
"Auntie, how many days do you need to rest?" She looked at the injuries on her body and hesitated.
"No need, little lady, you don't know, selling things with you is really exciting."
"Okay, then I'll be there on time tomorrow, but aunt, I think we need to improve a bit, okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, aunt, let's just say goodbye."
…
After she separated from her aunt, she hugged the young man and helped the two husbands to the hospital.
