After both parties introduced themselves, Village Chief Zhao recounted what had happened.
Shuanzi's parents had blank expressions on their faces and looked dazed, as if this kind of thing had happened countless times.
The village chief next door also sighed at this time.
"We know about this. Although stealing is not a good thing and children should not make this mistake, I hope you can give him another chance considering that he is still young. When I go back, I will definitely let his parents teach him well. If such a thing happens again, you can deal with it. I will not interfere. I also hope that you guys will give me some face." The head of the next door village sounded very sincere at this time.
"Yes, please, if there is any loss, let the child work to compensate for it." Shuanzi's father also said, his voice full of sadness and grief.
Such a good child is ruined like this.
After hearing this, the villagers hesitated and discussed.
"Whether to forgive or not is not up to me, it's up to the victim." Village chief Zhao said helplessly.
Zhao Guocheng was called to the front.
"This is the victim. Two people went to his house to steal things last night. They took a lot of food and a piece of meat. Fortunately, they were discovered in time, otherwise they would have definitely broken into the house to steal silver. If they had hurt someone, the loss would have been huge." Village Chief Zhao pointed at Zhao Guocheng and said.
Shuanzi's mother immediately knelt down towards Zhao Guocheng.
"Please, spare him. I let him work in your house for a month for free. I just hope you can give him another chance." Shuanzi's mother said while crying.
At this time, Erbazi's mother also knelt down and said, "Guocheng, Guocheng's wife, I am also kneeling down shamelessly, begging you to give them another chance to start a new life. It's useless for us to say anything. Let them promise themselves, in front of everyone, that if they do such sneaky things again in the future, you can just hand them over to the authorities, and I will pretend that I have never given birth to this son."
Shuanzi's mother said cruelly, "Yes, if they continue to steal in the future, you can just hand them over to the authorities, and I will pretend that I have never given birth to this son."
Zhao Guocheng was really shocked when he saw the posture of these people.
"Get up, get up quickly. I can't bear your kneeling. This will shorten my life!" Zhao Guocheng quickly stepped aside and asked someone to help the two women up.
"My family discovered the matter in time, and nothing was missing. All items have been returned. However, many villagers have lost a lot of things during this period, and everyone suspects that they were taken by the two of them. This matter does not need an explanation from me, but from everyone.
Of course, although my family didn't suffer any loss, we can't pretend that this incident never happened. How about I ask the two of them to work for me for free for a month, and I'll provide them with a meal. If they agree, then forget it. If they don't agree, then you can do whatever you want with them. " Zhao Guocheng said.
Erbazi's parents and Shuanzi's parents looked at Zhao Guocheng as if they were looking at a Buddha.
Also provide meals?
Is there such a good thing?
"Promise, thank you, you will be rewarded." After saying this, Shuanzi's mother wanted to kneel down and kowtow again, but was stopped by someone.
Erbazi's parents also looked at Zhao Guocheng with gratitude, speechless.
Erbazi's father didn't want to come at first, but the village chief sent someone to call him, so he had to come.
"Brother, I won't say anything else. I will remember your kindness. I won't have any objection if you order him around as much as you can this month. Just do it. I would feel bad if I didn't do more work for your family." Erba Zi's father said sincerely while holding Zhao Guocheng's hand.
Wang Ronghua understood the purpose of Zhao Guocheng's actions and had a brief discussion with him before coming.
Erbazi and Shuanzi were both confused.
What?
Working for Uncle Zhao for nothing for a month?
That would be exhausting!!!
The two of them were wailing in their hearts, but now they dared not say a word because they were the ones who made the mistake.
"What should I do if they stole things from my house? I don't want them to help with the work. There is not much work to do at home. Just pay them compensation!" some villagers said.
"Yes, I don't want them to help me with the work."
The villagers were talking about it, thinking that money is more real. These two people just like to steal and do nothing. What kind of work should they do? They will just eat and not work. They will have to feed a grown man for a month in vain. It's so cruel. Where can they get so much food?
But Zhao Guocheng thought differently.
At that time, plums and peaches were on the market in large quantities, and he needed people to help. Now two people were sent here, and he felt it was a good deal.
Everyone has their own plans.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Guocheng suffered a loss.
I have to give them a free meal to feed these two scoundrels.
Erbazi's parents and Shuanzi's parents were so angry that they wanted to beat up their own children.
He actually stole so many things.
"Mom and Dad, I didn't steal theirs. You just suspect me, but you have no evidence. I didn't steal yours, but you blame me for your lost things. How can this be right? I only stole from Uncle Zhao's house last night. I don't admit to stealing from others, even if you beat me to death. I didn't steal." Erbazi said.
Shuanzi also said stubbornly: "We really didn't steal yours. Your things must have been stolen by someone else. We only went to this house at the end of the village twice and didn't go to other people's houses." Shuanzi said again this time.
"Oh! Look, you said you didn't steal it, but you went to Zhao Laoer's house at the end of the village twice. It must have been you who stole it."
"Bullshit, we didn't do that. We went to Uncle Zhao's house to steal things because we knew he had money from buying mountain products. Also, his family bought meat yesterday, so I went there because I was craving for meat. I didn't take anything from yours. Don't accuse me and ask my family to compensate me. It's impossible. I don't admit it." The second bully said with an unhappy look on his face.
"Yes, we will never admit it. We didn't steal anything from you. We only went to the one at the end of the village." Shuanzi also said.
The two men refused to admit it even if they were beaten to death, and the villagers were speechless.
Zhao Guocheng didn't know what to say.
If it's not them, then who else could it be?
But the way they spoke didn't seem like they were lying.
This matter caused everyone to argue endlessly, and for a while they were almost quarreling.
"Everyone be quiet!" said Village Chief Zhao with a frown.
"Whether you stole it or not, we will naturally find out later. Everyone listen to me, although you all lost things, but we didn't catch the people on the spot, we can't say that it was definitely Erba Zi and his two friends. This time I am not siding with Erba Zi, but speaking fairly. If Zhao Laoer's family is caught, then these two people will not be able to escape. Although they don't admit it, they have the motive to be suspected. Let's just wait and see." Village Chief Zhao came out and said a few fair words.
