Everyone was shocked.

Bingyi looked at Xie Fanjin in surprise, and finally understood why Xie Fanjin didn't let him go with them to pick apricots. It turned out that Xie Fanjin knew that this group of people were going to be caught.

The old woman saw that the apricot trees on the two trees had become bare in the blink of an eye, and she almost couldn't breathe.

She was supported by her husband and pointed at everyone present: "Pay compensation, you must pay compensation!"

"Then tell us how much it is and we will give it to you." Old Man Chen wiped his mouth and quietly threw away the apricot kernel in his hand.

The old woman held up two fingers, her face furious: "Twenty cents per person!"

Old Madam Chen glared at him and said, "You're trying to rob me! These apricots of yours can't even be sold for twenty coins!"

The old woman said: "Yes, if I sell them on the street, I'm happy with it if it's less than 20 coins, but I'm not happy with you stealing my apricots. You have to pay 20 coins each!"

Mrs. Chen Er put the apricots in her hand into her pocket and said in a very bad attitude: "No, two copper coins at most, take it or leave it!"

In fact, she didn't want to give a penny. In the past, she wouldn't even look at these broken apricots, what good stuff were they?

The old woman sneered, "I don't think you're good people either, otherwise I wouldn't be exiled. You dare to act tough with me? Even if I can't get the money, I'll still teach you a lesson!"

Master Chen rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward: "Come on, teach me a lesson and see!"

With so many people in the Chen family, are they still afraid of an old woman and an old man?

As a result, just as he rushed over, the old woman slapped Mr. Chen Er in the face, making him stagger: "I just taught you a lesson, so what?"

Mr. Chen gritted his teeth, picked up a stone on the ground and smashed it on the old woman's head. He was exiled anyway, and the barefoot were not afraid of those who wore shoes.

When Mr. Chen threw the stone, blood immediately appeared on the old woman's head.

Her husband was shocked when he saw this: "Old woman, old woman, how are you?"

Mr. Chen was also a little scared. He was angry just now and it was too late to regret now.

Mrs. Chen Er even gloated a little: "Serves you right! You just ate a few of your lousy apricots and then extorted our money. You deserve a beating!"

Seeing this, Old Master Chen stamped his feet in anger. How could the Chen family have such two idiots? He took a deep breath and hurriedly said to Old Madam Chen, "Quick, pay some money, and this matter will be resolved!"

Old Madam Chen hugged her bag tightly, frowning bitterly: "We only have so little money left, and we may not even have enough to cover our family's expenses along the way!"

Although the old woman's head was bleeding, she wasn't seriously injured. It was probably just a superficial wound. She still had the strength to raise her voice and shout, "Help! They're bullying me! They stole my apricots and broke my head!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people came out of the ground carrying hoes.

Mr. Chen's face turned pale with fear: "Let's talk it over, let's talk it over."

The people approached the old woman to inquire about the situation. The old woman trembled with anger: "These people stole our apricots and I caught them. They gave me two copper coins to send me away, and then they hit me on the head and made me bleed!"

The leading villager raised his hoe and said, "Pay me money, or I'll break your legs!"

"Mother..." Mr. Chen could only ask for help from Old Madam Chen.

Things had gotten to this point and it would be difficult to resolve the issue without paying the money. Old Madam Chen wanted to borrow money from the officials, but the officials stayed away and she couldn't ask for it.

There was no other way, so Old Madam Chen rummaged through her bag and pulled out a pair of silver earrings: "I don't have any silver, but this will do, it's inlaid with pearls!"

When the fire broke out, the bundle was stolen. Xie Fanjin only took the silver and money in the bundle. As for their jewelry, he did not touch any of it.

The Chen family didn't have many pieces of jewelry, but they were worth some money, so Xie Fanjin didn't do anything so drastic.

The old woman looked at it for a long time, and when she was satisfied that the pendant was worth some money, she said, "Go away! I advise you to be conscientious. Otherwise, next time you will not be exiled, but beheaded!"

Everyone in the Chen family felt ashamed, but dared not say a word.

"Okay, okay, let's hurry up and get on our way!" Wang Tiezhu struck the gong.

The old woman's gaze finally fell on Wang Tiezhu: "You, you have to pay too. You ate my apricots too!"

Song Qiang had a bad temper and immediately drew his sword: "You old woman, are you looking for death? We ate two apricots from you and you dare to ask us for money? Didn't you just get a pair of earrings?"

The old woman, with blood on her head, said angrily, "That's not your money. You ate my apricots, so you have to pay. Twenty coins per person, not a single copper coin less!"

Song Qiang was so angry that he walked up and kicked the old woman.

Being bullied by Xiao Yanxi and Xie Fanjin was bad enough, but he was actually bullied by a village woman. How could he swallow this?

The old woman was kicked in the chest and fell to the ground. Her husband rushed forward and said, "Old lady, are you okay? We don't want this money anymore, let's not take it anymore!"

A few apricots are indeed not worth much money. These officers have weapons in their hands and are not vegetarians. The common people cannot defeat them!

"Hey, how can the police still beat people? You are going too far!"

When the villagers saw this, they immediately blamed Song Qiang and his men, but as soon as Song Qiang and his men pulled out their weapons, the villagers became frightened.

Wang Jiacheng couldn't help it, so he hurried forward and handed a piece of silver to the old woman lying on the ground: "Grandma, we'll pay for the apricots..."

"Old woman, old woman, old woman, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

The old man held the old woman in his arms and rocked her for a long time, but the old woman showed no signs of waking up. His face changed drastically, and he felt the old woman's breath with his trembling hands, then cried out: "Old woman... Oh, old woman, if you die, how can I live? Wake up..."

Wang Jiacheng was holding the silver coins in his hand, he was stunned and his face was full of fear.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xie Fanjin hurried forward to take the old woman's pulse. She met Xiao Yanxi's concerned gaze in shock and shook her head helplessly.

Xiao Yanxi was a little shocked. He didn't expect that the person was gone just like that.

Chen Xinyu was also startled and quickly hid behind the crowd. Then something flashed in her eyes and she poked her head out from the crowd again.

She pretended to be puzzled and said, "She was fine just now, how come she collapsed? Xie Fanjin, don't you know medicine? Come and take a look at her!"

After hearing what Chen Xinyu said, the old man knelt down in front of Xie Fanjin and said, "Girl, please save my wife. As long as you can cure her, we will give you the medical fee even if we sell everything we own!"

Xie Fanjin glanced at Chen Xinyu with an unpleasant expression. Chen Xinyu pretended to be serious and said, "Xie Fanjin, my grandmother and second aunt were seriously injured before, and you cured them with just a few injections. This old woman was just kicked, and you can definitely cure her too. I believe..."

"Shut up!"

Chen Xinyu still wanted to flatter Xie Fanjin and embarrass him, but Xiao Yanxi interrupted her coldly.

Chen Xinyu looked innocent: "Cousin, I just feel sorry for the old lady. I wonder if Xie Fanjin can't cure her, right?"

Xie Fanjin calmed down and said to the old man kneeling on the ground: "The old man has passed away. You should prepare for the funeral."

The old woman’s condition was not just because of this injury, but mainly because her time was up.

The villagers all looked sad and cried out loudly.

Xie Fanjin's words also made the old man lose hope. He pointed at Song Qiang with a sad face and said, "You killed my wife. I will go to the county government to sue you. I want you to pay for my wife's life!"
