After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

When Wang Dami saw that Li Ji and Youshi were willing to pay compensation in silver, he was overjoyed.

The Song Yamen couldn't get the silver itself, and was waiting for this sentence. However, 10 taels of silver was too little, it would take at least a hundred taels.

Zhang San was extremely anxious when he saw that Li Ji and his wife You wanted to leave, but he was in no condition to stop them.

He kept winking at Wang Dami.

When Wang Dami saw Zhang San winking at him, he understood what Zhang San meant and immediately rushed forward and hugged Youshi's thigh.

"Goddess of Heaven, you two bastards are only going to give us 10 taels of silver?"

"What can you do with 10 taels of silver now? The pearl hairpin on your head is worth more than 10 taels of silver. My mother, is your life so cheap? It is not even worth 10 taels of silver. You have such a miserable life, my mother."

Wang Dami cried as she spoke, her cry was so loud that it shook the heavens and the earth and made the gods and ghosts weep. Those who listened to her were sad and shed tears. Even Zhang San was sobbing.

As soon as Youshi heard what Wang Dami said, she immediately covered the pearl hairpin on her head.

After seeing this, Li Ji cursed Youshi for being a fool. Now, 10 taels of silver was not enough to get rid of Zhang San, a bastard, but he was unwilling to pay 10 more taels.

Zhang San felt upset just thinking about it.

When the villagers present saw this scene, most of them started crying along with Zhang San and Wang Dami.

They all wondered why Wang Dami and Zhang San were so filial. If their sons and daughters-in-law were so filial, they would be willing to die immediately.

The village chief was also very moved, "Youshi, Li Ji, this little money is not enough."

The village chief looked at Li Ji. If it weren't for this kid, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed and wouldn't have been lying in bed sick for so long. It was all because of this kid in front of him. Today is a perfect opportunity for me to give this kid a rest.

When Li Ji saw the village chief looking at him, he thought to himself that this was not good. The village chief must be thinking of something bad.

Unexpectedly, the village chief opened his mouth immediately.

"If you ask me, Lianhua is a life after all. Now Zhang San's family only has Wang Dami left. If Wang Dami goes to work in the workshop, there will be no one to take care of Zhang San at home. Their family is in a really difficult situation now."

"Li Ji and You Shi, the compensation you two have to pay is not much, so just give each of you 300 taels of silver."

"What, 300 taels?"

Li Ji and You Shi both screamed in shock.

The two of them didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"Village chief, you are not mistaken, 300 taels, that old woman Lianhua is 300 taels, 300 taels is enough for me to go to the brothel in town and find a girl for the rest of my life."

It was originally a very sad thing, but after Li Ji said this, the villagers immediately burst into laughter.

Wang Dami and Zhang San were very happy. They had 300 taels of silver when their mother died. Add to that the 3 taels of silver their father gave them every month and Wang Dami's tael of silver, and the family was now living a good life.

The two men seemed to see 300 taels of silver waving at them.

The villagers had different thoughts, and the village chief's expression changed. There must not be many families in the village who can afford 300 taels of silver, although the monthly income in the Yuntao workshop is still considerable.

But the whole family needs to feed, and now that living conditions are better, we actually spend more money than before, and we can't save much money in a year.

The villagers now believe that the village chief might really have an affair with Lianhua. Since Lianhua is already dead, he is trying to make some money for her son.

The way everyone looked at the village chief kept changing.

The village chief himself noticed the changes in everyone, but so what? He just wanted to make things difficult for Li Ji. After all, there would be no such shop if he missed this village.

Li Ji and Youshi were so angry that their teeth were itching, but there was nothing they could do. It was true that Lianhua's death was related to them. If the matter was brought to the government office, they and Youshi would not be able to escape. However, 300 taels of silver was not a small amount, and they could not afford it.

"Village chief, we two really can't come up with 300 taels of silver."

Li Ji spoke to the village chief cautiously and in a flattering manner.

The village chief couldn't help feeling happy when he saw the old man in front of him trying to please him so humbly.

I let you spread obscene rumors about me, which made me lose face. Humph, I will make you compensate me for the money this time, and you can't even think of running away.

The village chief pretended to speak earnestly and said, "Li Ji, it's not that I want you to compensate Zhang San's family so much, it's just that you have seen the situation of Zhang San's family. His family is really in a difficult situation. Look at his current condition, how can he find a job in the village?"

"Even when he eats, he needs to be fed. Look at Cheng. You, a grown man, can go wherever you want, but Zhang San can't. Lianhua used to take care of all his food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Even when he goes to the toilet, he needs someone to feed him."

You Shi immediately responded, "Village Chief, his mother Lianhua is gone, but he still has Wang Dami. Wang Dami is his wife. Everyone in the village knows about this. You can ask Wang Dami to take care of him."

When Wang Dami heard what Youshi said, he took Youshi to heart. Zhang San ate and drank Lhasa in bed every day, and the suffocation was so severe that he would die. She didn't want to take care of him.

The village chief glanced at Youshi and said, "The 300 taels of silver you are paying as compensation is specifically for taking care of Zhang San. If you let Wang Dami take care of Zhang San, you will need to pay the money for two people."

"Don't forget that Wang Dami has a job in the workshop. He can earn some money a month to supplement the family expenses. If he didn't have this job, what would they eat and drink?"

"You can ask Wang Dami to take care of Zhang San if you want him to do so. Just pay him 600 taels of silver."

When Li Ji and Youshi heard this, they immediately wanted to vomit blood.

When the villagers heard this, they all burst into laughter. They failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice.

600 taels of silver, that's 600 taels of silver. Yun Tao's family might have so much silver.

Yu Shi immediately stiffened her neck and said, "I didn't agree to give you 600 taels of silver. Don't even think about it."

Yu rolled her eyes at Zhang San and Wang Dami.

The village chief also said kindly, "If you really think 300 taels of silver is too much, then you can go and take care of Zhang San yourself. You two will take care of his food, clothing, daily life, birth, old age, illness and death in the future."

Li Ji and You Shi thought it was not worthwhile because Zhang San was in his current condition and would live a long life.

He won't die in a short time. If he gets sick, the money he'll spend over the years might be more than 300 taels of silver. It's better to buy him out directly.

Li Ji and You Shi looked at each other.

"Village chief, we will give you silver, but 300 taels of silver is too much. We can't afford it. Can you give us less?"

"Even if we were sold for 300 taels of silver, we still wouldn't get that much. Which family in our family has 300 taels of silver? You think too highly of us."

The village chief understood the situation in his heart and was just trying to scare Li Ji and You Shi, but he had to give the silver.

"Zhang San, Lianhua is your mother. Li Jiji and You Shi can't give you 300 taels of silver. How much do you and Wang Dami want?"

Zhang San wanted 300 taels of silver, but he knew that the two of them could not afford it at all.

"280 taels of silver. I'm not in good health and need some supplements, otherwise I'll get sick easily."

When Li Ji and Youshi heard this, they wondered what the difference was between 280 taels of silver and 300 taels of silver; they were almost the same.

Li Ji's heart was set, "150 taels, this is all we have."

Zhang San also refused to give in. "No, the minimum is 200 taels of silver. If you don't want to, we will go to the government office. I don't want a single copper from you. I want your life."

Zhang San was also very determined and refused to give in at all.

The two remained in a stalemate.

Li Ji and You Shi were really at their wits' end. Li Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, 200 taels of silver is 200 taels, but this matter is settled from now on. Don't cause us any more trouble, and don't mention it again in the government office."

Zhang San also agreed immediately.

Li Ji and You Shi returned home defeated like defeated roosters.
