Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 1627 Taking the opportunity
"My request is very simple. My husband, Lao Yi, is so old, and he's been kicked like this."

You definitely need to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up.

The costs of medical treatment, lost wages, nutritional supplements, and compensation for emotional distress... you must be responsible for all of these.

All the expenses added up to seven or eight hundred.

This time, Qin Huairu not only wants to get back the money Banggeng was swindled out of, but also wants to make a fortune.

He Yuzhu used this tactic to swindle a lot of money from Yi Zhonghai back then.

This is also to vent the anger of the Korean comedian.

She's the ultimate master of the "white lotus" tactic. If someone actually uses this trick on her son, then she won't hold back.

If she doesn't get her revenge, how will she ever be able to face anyone again?

However, she forgot one thing: this wasn't BJ.

Even in Beijing, many people can't afford that much money.

Yi Zhonghai was able to produce it because he was a senior worker at the steel mill.

Yi Zhonghai's salary alone is equivalent to that of two or three people. He is also extremely stingy, never using his own money to help others.

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, the village chief didn't even need to ask Brother Wei; he dared not agree.

Even if the entire village pooled their money, they still couldn't raise that much.

"This lady, you've gone too far."

Qin Huairu snorted: "What you did was even worse. I learned this from you."

The village chief, embarrassed to argue with Qin Huairu, turned to Yi Zhonghai: "Brother, you're Banggeng's father, right? What do you mean by this?"

Yi Zhonghai's thoughts were similar to Qin Huairu's; they both wanted to take advantage of this incident to swindle money from the villagers.

If you scam a lot of money, you not only don't have to spend any money, but you can also make a profit.

He was too embarrassed to say it aloud, so he thought of the deaf old lady.

"You said the compensation wasn't enough. You want more. Huairu, I think eight hundred yuan is about right, don't let them add more."

They also need to save money for daily life.

Qin Huairu almost burst out laughing when she heard Yi Zhonghai's answer.

She used to hate this trick of deaf old ladies the most.

Looking at it now, it feels so familiar.

The village chief could tell at a glance that these two were determined to cause trouble.

He got angry: "If you don't want to resolve this, then forget it."

Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu did not pay attention to his words.

They had seen this kind of situation far too many times. The difference was that back then, their stance was that of the village chief.

They understood the village chief's thoughts all too well.

This is something we absolutely dare not escalate.

Just like Yi Zhonghai, no matter what happens, he is not allowed to go to the neighborhood committee.

They were certain that the village chief would eventually give in.

The two sides separated temporarily.

Qin Huairu finally had a chance to examine Banggeng. She angrily slapped Banggeng's buttocks.

"You brat, how can you be so thoughtless? That woman is old and ugly, and you still plan to marry her?"

Banggeng said aggrievedly, "Mom, I didn't want to either. You've never lived here before, you don't know how hard life is here."

"If Sister Feng hadn't helped tidy up the house, no one could have gotten into it at all."

Qin Huairu became even angrier upon hearing this. Unfortunately, she couldn't very well reason with Banggeng.

She used this tactic in the courtyard house. If Banggeng understood it, wouldn't he know what she was doing?

How could she face her son if that were the case?

She didn't think she had done anything wrong, but it wouldn't sound good if people said it.

She was also afraid that Banggeng would get angry, feel ashamed of her as a mother, and abandon her.

Leaving aside Qin Huairu's lecture about the village chief in the house, let's talk about the village chief.

He arrived at Brother Wei's house and said, "You rascal, why are you so impulsive?"

Do you know how much that kick cost?

They're asking you to pay them 800 yuan.

Even if everyone in our village pooled their money, we still couldn't raise that much.

Upon hearing this, Brother Wei was furious: "They're trying to extort money from us."

"You don't even need to tell me. Banggeng's dad is so old. If you just went up and kicked him, who else would they try to extort money from if not you?" the village chief said. Rural people are just less worldly-wise, not stupid.

The village chief came out to try and lower the price.

I'll go in later and have a proper discussion with them. I'll offer them a few dollars in compensation and settle the matter.

Brother Wei is feeling guilty.

He used his own wife to wash clothes for Banggeng and then got benefits from her.

Quite a few people have done this.

Everyone knows this. We're all just trying to support our families; there's nothing shameful about it.

But no one else knew that the couple had swindled four hundred yuan from Banggeng.

Putting everything else aside, the village chief's petty scheme won't succeed with just four hundred yuan.

If things get out of hand, the villagers will know what the couple has been up to.

"Village chief, this is our village. If we are extorted by these three outsiders, how will we ever face anyone again?"

Are they trying to extort me? I'm going to accuse them of taking advantage of my wife.

This time I'm going all out; I'll ask them for 800 yuan in compensation.

"Once we get the money, we'll split it among the villagers."

"Nonsense!" The village chief was somewhat angry.

Normally, each family uses their own wives to make money by deceiving others and earning a living, and he can turn a blind eye to it.

But things absolutely cannot escalate.

If things escalate, their village will become civilized.

If that's the case, how will the children in the village find partners?

"Have you thought about the consequences of what you've done? How will our village ever be able to face anyone again?"

Brother Wei got a scolding and realized he shouldn't act so impulsively.

"What can we do? We can't really pay them eight hundred yuan back."

He simply doesn't have that much money.

He spent several tens of dollars of the four hundred dollars he extorted from Banggeng.

He can't even come up with that four hundred yuan now.

The village chief, unaware of these things, said, "It's almost time. I'll go and talk to them."

Be prepared, I reckon I'll end up having to pay them at least five yuan in the end.

If it really comes down to five yuan in compensation, Brother Wei will definitely take the money without hesitation.

But the result is obvious: this is impossible.

Bang Geng was ripped off for 400 yuan. How could she be satisfied until she got that money back?

Qin Huairu was adamant about paying at least 800 yuan. No matter what anyone said, she wouldn't budge.

The village chief explained the situation in the village to her and hoped she could understand.

This didn't even move Qin Huairu.

The village chief truly couldn't understand how Qin Huairu dared to ask for such an exorbitant amount.

Qin Huairu was very clever. She saw that the village chief had made several trips back and forth, but he never mentioned the four hundred yuan.

She knew that Brother Wei hadn't told the village chief about the four hundred yuan.

That put her at ease.

Although he had already made Bang Geng burn the letter, she still dared not let the matter be exposed.

If it gets exposed, the consequences will be unbearable for her.

While the village chief was negotiating with Qin Huairu, Brother Wei and his wife were also discussing how to keep the money.

Once the money is in their hands, it's their money. They can't possibly take it out.

Brother Wei said, "You damn woman! Why didn't you call me sooner? Now look what's happened, they've tried to extort you."

While crying, Sister Feng tried to think of a solution: "Honey, what is the purpose of Banggeng's parents coming here?"

Brother Wei said, "Of course he's bringing the stick back to the city, not to propose marriage to you."

Sister Feng said, "Since she can threaten us, we can threaten her too, without having to mention the four hundred yuan."

Upon hearing this, Brother Wei immediately became excited: "Wife, tell me quickly, what's the solution?"

Sister Feng whispered the solution in his ear.
