Chapter 138: Kneel Down and Apologize
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The village chief’s home.
...“Youcai, this matter has blown up to such a big extent. I, Old Sun, have never suffered such a big loss in all my years in the Trinity Village. Under normal circumstances, I would have gone to their door long ago. I don’t want any compensation, I just want to break their arms.”
Old man Sun sat cross-legged on the kang with his head lowered. His weather-beaten face was full of threatening cunning.
Li Youcai listened without saying a word.
“I’m not exaggerating. You know what kind of temper I have. I wasn’t at home the day before yesterday. If I were at home, I wouldn’t have been bullied.”
Li Youcai nodded. “I’m aware of that. However, things have already happened. It’s best to mitigate the issue.” As the village chief, he definitely did not want things to get out of hand. Besides, he was also terrified when he saw Wen break Sun Dahai’s arm with his own eyes.
“Village chief, do you want me to swallow my teeth and blood?” Old man Sun’s attitude immediately changed. “That won’t do. Breaking an arm is a small matter. Losing face is a big deal. If I let this matter go, how can I face others in the future?”
“Then what do you think we should do about this?” Li Youcai was also having a headache. He was stuck in the middle and it was not easy to deal with.
The Sun family and the Su family were both big families in the village. If something went wrong, it could cause a fight between the two surnames.
Old man Sun’s old and turbid eyes flashed a touch of ruthlessness. He was not as short-sighted as his wife at home, who only knew how to look at money. He was not like Sun Dahai, who only knew about women. Old man Sun knew very well that if he wanted to establish his reputation in the village where no one dared to provoke him, he had to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.
He wanted to let people know that the Sun family was not to be trifled with.
Now, Su Wen was the chicken that had to be killed. Only by humiliating Su Wen would people forget what Yunyun had done.
After understanding this, Old man Sun pretended to be generous and said, “As an elder, I don’t want to argue with a junior. I know that the Su family’s life is hard, I can let them go without compensation.”
Li Youcai immediately looked at Old man Sun in a different way. Although Old man Sun looked honest, he was a ruthless person. If he said that they did not need to pay, of course, he would not just let it go.
Could it be that he wanted to break Wen’s arm?
However, it would be a good thing if a broken arm could solve this problem. It’s just that Wen is going to suffer, he sighed.
Old man Sun acted like a good old man, “Just let Su Wen kneel down and apologize to Dahai and Yunyun. After all, it’s just an arm! Forget about the compensation, what do you think of this matter?”
Li Youcai was a smart person, and he immediately noticed the problem. He wanted Su Wen to kowtow to Sun Yunyun and Sun Dahai, not to old man Sun and Zhu Yueju. The problem was completely different. It was not too much to kowtow to an elder.
However, it was a completely different story for Sun Yunyun and Sun Dahai. If
Wen really knelt down and kowtowed, how could she face anyone in the future?
There would probably be no place for her in the Trinity Village. It did not matter if she kowtowed. There were so many people with the surname Su in the village who were of the same generation as Su Wen. Those who were one generation later than her would be one head lower when they saw the Sun family in the future.
That Wen girl was the one who had completely offended him.
“This matter…” Li Youcai really did not dare to stand up for Su Wen anymore. No matter how much the Su family disliked Su Wen, they would not be willing to suffer such a big loss.
“What’s wrong? Village chief, you’re not willing? I don’t want Su Wen’s arm, and I don’t want her to pay for it. I just want her to kneel down and admit her mistake. That’s not too much to ask, right?” Oldman Sun pressed.
