Upon hearing Luo Ge's words, Gu Jinchen paused, glanced at his own stomach, and then turned to look at her.
"Then you go on top."
Like other parents in the village, when their child was wronged, the other party even ca and brazenly provoked them. It was truly unbearable to swallow this anger.
Her hands were itching.
"Huh, what?"
Hearing Luo Ge's words, Gu Jinchen instinctively took two steps forward, but then paused upon realizing.
"Ahem, okay."
It was certainly not right for a man to lay hands on a woman, but it was possible to "tilt the scales" with underhanded ans.
Imdiately after, it was discovered that in the lee where the two sides were initially evenly matched, one side suddenly lost the upper hand.
"Don't know what happened," on Qian's Mother's side, people would suddenly lose strength in their arms or legs, as if struck by sothing, and then go limp.
In no ti, they were pinned down and beaten by Wang Sister-In-Law's group.
"Cough cough..."
"Cough cough cough..."
And the village chief and others nearby, upon seeing the small clods of dirt in Gu Jinchen's hand, broke into another fit of coughing.
Seeing this scene, the n from Qian Family Village who had secretly followed to support their won could no longer sit still.
They rushed out from their hiding places one after another.
"What are you doing! Bullying with numbers, are you not?"
As they spoke, they approached the group of fighting won, laying hands on Wang Sister-In-Law amidst the lee.
Here cos the action!
Seeing this, the n of Gu Family Village exchanged glances, rolled up their sleeves, and went to block them.
Gu Jinchen looked at Luo Ge and followed suit.
As it turned out, the two groups of n were completely unmatched, and in no ti, the other side had fallen in droves.
Qian's Mother and her cohorts had also been thoroughly defeated by Wang Sister-In-Law's group, looking as disheveled as roosters after a fight.
And on the other side, Qian Duoduo and the others, who had been pulled aside earlier, were cowering with their heads down, watching the kids from Gu Family Village leading the big yellow dog and carrying a rooster.
Hu Jun, who had just arrived at Gu Family Village the day before to mooch a al and was dragged into helping, looked at his constable's uniform.
For a mont, he didn't know whether he should step out or not.
Seeing the disarray of Qian's Mother, Luo Ge grinned.
For so reason, although Luo Ge's smile was quite attractive, Qian's Mother still shrank her neck in fear upon seeing it.
"Auntie, let's talk about the compensation now. A total of fourteen kids from our village were injured yesterday. Based on your earlier suggestion, shall we go with five taels of silver per child?"
After speaking, Luo Ge smiled upon seeing the ugly expression on Qian's Mother's face.
"Does Auntie think I'm being too greedy? This is based on what you all taught us. You good people couldn't possibly be greedy, right?"
"Oh, I also have fourteen letters of apology prepared regarding yesterday's incident.
They state that your children intentionally ca and bullied others yesterday. Please have all of you and your children sign them later."
That way, when the matter spreads, these won can't distort the truth, and with the signed letters, they won't be able to talk their way out of it.
Moreover, this was the fact, so having them sign the letters of apology was only fair.
"Also, today's incident was provoked by your deliberate arrogance and provocation.
We... well, it was self-defense, and I've also prepared letters for you all to sign, so that no one will misunderstand us when we leave the village."
Luo Ge smiled as she spoke, and with each sentence, the faces of the people from Qian Family Village grew uglier.
This last part was simply blackhearted - they had co to stir up trouble but couldn't express their grievances.
She had never considered herself a good person, and there was no need to be kindhearted when dealing with people who repeatedly caused trouble, was there?
Being a little blackhearted wasn't a bad thing, right?
"Auntie, what do you think? If you have no issues, let's sign them now. Everyone from your side who ca to make trouble today has to sign."
Luo Ge still had a smile on her face, while Qian's Mother and the others had turned pale.
They were resentful, but upon seeing the vast number of people from Gu Family Village, they swallowed and didn't dare say anything.
At this point, they had lost all the arrogance they had when they first ca to make trouble.
"Five taels might be too much for us to afford," Qian's Mother finally spoke hesitantly.
Wang Sister-In-Law directly laughed.
"Too much? Didn't you think it was too much when you suggested it yourself?"
"You even said if we didn't give five taels, it wouldn't end!"
Hearing Wang Sister-In-Law's words, Qian's Mother was at a loss for words.
However, the people of Gu Family Village also understood that five taels of silver was an astronomical sum for an ordinary family.
Considering the actual situation, they eventually compromised and agreed on one and a half taels of silver per child as compensation.
Luo Ge had them all sign the letters of apology she had ntioned before letting them go.
Those who had silver on them were made to pay imdiately, while those who didn't had to sign IOUs, to be paid later or else reported to the authorities.
Although they were villagers, the people of Gu Family Village were not unreasonable people.
Initially, they were prepared to let things slide if Qian's Mother and her group could speak reasonably.
But those people were simply too much, taking advantage of any kindness shown to them.
So there was really no need to indulge them.
So people just won't learn unless they're taught a lesson. Once they've been taught, everything falls into place.
The others left quickly, but Qian Duoduo's family, being the ringleaders, were the last to leave.
Nowadays, there were two teachers at the village school - one was Elder Mr. Xu, and the other was a young scholar brought in by Elder Mr. Xu.
He was a very learned young man.
With the increasing number of students at the school, Elder Mr. Xu couldn't handle it alone and needed soone to share the workload.
Yesterday, Elder Mr. Xu had taken half a day off and was not at the school.
When he returned today and learned of the incident, he ca to check on the children in the village and happened to witness Qian Duoduo's family causing trouble.
Seeing Qian Duoduo, Elder Mr. Xu sighed.
"From now on, you need not co to the school anymore."
With such character, it was unfit to keep him.
Upon hearing Elder Mr. Xu's words, Qian Duoduo's entire family was stunned. Finally, it was Qian's Mother who spat first.
"If he's not coming, then so be it! We don't care, you old thing! Now return my child's tuition fees!"
Originally, Qian Duoduo was upset upon hearing these words, but after listening to his mother, he also spat.
"Return the tuition fees? I don't care about coming anyway!"
