The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Tang Yi smiled calmly and said, "Aunt Li apologized, and we all heard it. However, Tang Baoyu has never apologized. Moreover, I don't think my mother's request is excessive. How he bullied me, I should feel it again in the same way he bullied me. Isn't it right?"

Tang Dafu said from the side: "That's right. Why do you keep asking Baoyu Niang to apologize? Isn't Tang Baoyu the one who should apologize the most?"

"You love your son, and so do we. Your son is made of flesh and blood, and so is mine. Besides, who doesn't know that Xiao'er relies on tonics to survive?" Li Taohua said, "You just said you saw the village doctor last night and spent a full five taels of silver. I thought I heard someone nearby say it was a rip-off. Aunt Yang, didn't you say that?"

Li Taohua looked at the old woman in the crowd.

Yang took a few steps back, looking embarrassed. "Well, I mean, five taels of silver is too much. That doctor is such a rip-off."

"Then I have to say a few words on behalf of that doctor," Li Taohua said. "Five taels of silver is indeed a high price for ordinary people. However, the tonics he used were extremely expensive. Tang Jizu's entire family was present and heard everything the doctor said. My daughter, repeat what the doctor said."

Qin Huiyin said, "The doctor said that after this incident, my little brother's health has been further damaged. Take these few doses of medicine first. Whether he can recover will depend on the next few months. If he can't recover, I'm afraid... Five taels of silver can provide a family with food and clothing for two or three years, but it may not save his life. Do you still think five taels of silver is expensive?"

"These five taels of silver are for the doctor's consultation, not for our family. You are talking about a big scam, as if we want this to happen." Tang Luwu said angrily.

"Also, if anything happens to my little brother, this matter is not over yet." Tang Yichen looked at Tang Jizu sharply, "You'd better pray that these five taels of silver are not wasted, otherwise I will make you pay with your lives."

"What's with the idea of ​​paying with one's life or not? Don't say that. Aren't you afraid of scaring Xiao'er?" Tang Jizu forced a smile. "Well, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. It's already happened, and asking Baoyu to crawl through your pants is really a bit offensive. How about I ask Baoyu to kowtow and apologize?"

The whole village was watching. If Tang Baoyu were allowed to crawl into Tang Yixiao's crotch, he would never be able to hold his head up again.

Tang Yichen also knew it was impossible.

Li Taohua wanted to make this happen, but she also knew that if she forced Tang Baoyu to crawl through her pants, the whole village would think her family was being unreasonable. After all, it hadn't happened to them, so they couldn't feel the pain. Everyone wants to be nice, and if a few nice words could do someone a favor, who wouldn't want to?

What's more, this Tang Jizu seems to have some connections. It is not so easy to establish a good relationship with him normally. This time, I can make him owe me a favor by saying a few words for him. Isn't that a great advantage that comes right to my door?

"Dafu, I think it's feasible. We are all from the same family tree. The child is ignorant, so give him a chance to reform. Kneeling and admitting his mistake is already very sincere. Why don't we let him kowtow and apologize this time? If he does it again next time, we won't let him go. What do you think?" The village chief was the first to speak up for Tang Jizu.

This was within the Tang family's expectations.

They'd discussed this matter over breakfast. Tang Dafu insisted on making Tang Baoyu pay, but Li Taohua poured cold water on him, telling him to stop daydreaming in broad daylight. While they were right, if they persisted in pursuing this matter, the villagers might sympathize with Tang Jizu's family, and they would be the ones to lose their support and be blamed.

They have to find the right balance.

"My brother has been taking medicine and is getting weaker and weaker. He needs to eat something good to replenish himself." Qin Huiyin said, "How about this, you just give me three taels of silver as compensation. If you kowtow, each head is worth one penny."

One head cost one penny, and three taels of silver equaled three thousand heads. If the mother and son could crack three thousand heads, the three taels of silver could offset the loss.

They just wanted to make it clear that their main purpose was not money. They also proposed a plan of not giving money, so if they wanted to save the money, they should show their sincerity.

"My daughter's idea is good. You two can discuss who will stay and kowtow." Li Taohua said.

Tang Yi smiled calmly and said, "If Tang Baoyu kowtows, each head will be worth two cents."

The village chief looked at Tang Jizu and then at Tang Yichen.

The village chief wanted to win over both Tang Jizu and Tang Yichen. He had just spoken for Tang Jizu, doing him a favor. Now he had better keep silent and not offend the other one.

"In my opinion, just take it. If you do something wrong, you should be punished." said Mr. Tang San.

"Eat it! We still have work to do in the fields! Don't waste time. Finish eating quickly so we can get to work earlier."

"Da Zhu's family, no one forced you to stay here and watch others kowtow! I think you just want to see Bao Yu's mother suffer."

Widow Wang curled her lips and said, "It's just a trivial matter that has been going on for two days. In my opinion, the child is ignorant and just needs to be disciplined. Huiyin's mother, don't hold on to this matter so much."

"Our Xiao Ge'er was wronged, and now it's our fault? Next time, let him beat your son and let him crawl through your crotch..."

"He dares!" Widow Wang glared at Tang Baoyu. "If he dares to touch my son, I will chop off his legs."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? This is between our two families. I just asked you to be witnesses. If you have something to do, leave now. If you have something to say, shut up." Li Taohua put her hands on her hips and cursed. "By the way, did any other families bully my son yesterday?"

Li Taohua pointed at several frightened children in the crowd.

"Did you bully our Xiao Ge'er? I'm telling you, Xiao Ge'er is the youngest child in our family. When you bullied him, didn't you consider that his three older brothers and sisters would come after you? Apologize to our Xiao Ge'er immediately and make amends for the harm you've done to him."

"Mother Huiyin, what do you think we should do?" Seeing that even a fierce shrew like Li Erniu couldn't get the upper hand over Li Taohua, those families didn't dare to confront her head-on, so they wanted to say a few nice words to get away with it.

Qin Huiyin said softly, "Don't worry, aunts. I know that all of you brothers have been deceived. After this incident, you should be able to distinguish between good and evil. Since you have done something wrong, you must apologize to my brother. You should support this, right?"

"Support, definitely support." Those women had never been so honest.

As long as they don't kowtow, everything else is fine. They just want this matter to be completely over, otherwise it would be too painful to not sleep all night like last night.
