Chapter 52 This is what I want

"Village head, if you don't give us an explanation today, even if I report it to the capital, you must make this family pay for the life of my poor nephew!" Sheng Chunhua's words scared the old village head. What a guy!

It seems that if he doesn't handle it well today, he will be the one to suffer the consequences.

Why is the old village chief still the village chief of Zhengjia Village at such an old age? From the name, we can tell that everyone in this village has the surname Zheng. The old village chief is the oldest elder in the village, so he has absolute authority in the village.

The old man closed his eyes and sighed, "What kind of explanation do you want? I will do whatever I can!"

The three members of the Sheng family looked at each other, this was exactly what they wanted to hear.

The mother and daughter of the Sheng family looked at Sheng Wanqiu at the same time, their meaning was self-evident.

Sheng Wanqiu suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to rise, looked at the Zheng family with a mocking look and said, "Now I don't know whether my brother is alive or dead. I will never agree with their point of view that my brother was burned to death in this fire."

"People must have hope. As long as I don't see my brother's body, I will not give up looking for him."

"Since you, the village head, have spoken, I will not deny you this bit of face for the evil deeds this family has done. So they can be spared the death penalty, but they cannot escape the punishment for living. They must compensate us for our mental damages and lost wages of 100 taels of silver, and let this matter rest."

"Otherwise we will come to your house every day in the future. After all, a life is worth a life. My brother is gone, and he is also a man. It is just right to give him a life in exchange for my brother's!"

After Sheng Wanqiu finished speaking, she pointed at Zheng Huaili, who was sitting on the ground holding Xiao Zhuizhui.

Zheng Huaili shrank back. The look in this woman's eyes seemed like she wanted to eat him. Did he really have to be beaten to death by this crazy woman if he didn't pay compensation?

It’s all the fault of that bitch Jiang. If it weren’t for her, his father, his sister, and he wouldn’t have been beaten.

Zheng Guang also looked at Jiang Cui. If looks could kill, Jiang Cui would have been torn into pieces by five horses. It was all because of this bitch's bad idea.

Now he has to pay a compensation of one hundred taels. If he doesn’t, his son will definitely be buried with that little beast.

The women of the Sheng family are all ruthless. They would start fighting without any hesitation, and they seemed to want to beat him to death with every blow. Zheng Guang was really scared.

"Zheng Guang, are you still breathing? If you can still breathe, tell me something!"

Lao Li was getting angry as he looked at Zheng Guang lying on the ground. Before, this bastard had beaten his ex-wife to death, and his ex-wife's family had also come to their house and made a scene. It had only been a short time, and he was causing trouble for him again.

If I wasn't old and in poor health, I would definitely beat this bastard severely.

What could Zheng Guang say? Although he usually flirted with other women, he really only had this one son. If he didn't agree, given the ruthlessness of the women in the Sheng family, his only son might die outside one day.

"I agree, but I don't have that much money right now. My house just burned down. Where can I get that much money?"

"How about I write you an IOU now?" Zheng Guang said cautiously, fearing that Sheng Chunhua would come over and kick him a few times.

"No, do you think we are stupid? If you run away with your children overnight, who will I ask for compensation?"

"Today's matter must be resolved today, otherwise I will take your son away. When you give me the money, I will release him!"

Sheng Chunhua stepped forward, grabbed Zheng Huaili's collar, and pulled him up from the ground.

"Dad! I don't want it! Give them the silver quickly!"

Zheng Huaili was almost scared to death. If he fell into the hands of this crazy woman, his life would definitely be over.

Seeing his son's pale face, Zheng Guang could only agree. He took off his shoes and took out a silver note from the soles of his shoes. This was the silver that saved his life!
He is about to hand it over. I feel so heartbroken that I wish I could just die now.

Sheng Chunhua didn't dislike it at all and wanted to reach out to take it, but was stopped by Sheng Wanqiu.

"Aunt, wait a minute!"

"Come on! Put your fingerprints on this piece of paper. Each of you four must do it. No one can be left out!"

Sheng Wanqiu took out the letter of guarantee that she had written long ago from her bosom. Although the handwriting was a bit ugly, it was definitely understandable.

"Aren't you a scholar? Read it! Loudly! Quickly! Don't force me to do anything!" Sheng Wanqiu handed the letter of guarantee to Zheng Huaili, and her fingers made a clicking sound. She learned this from her grandmother, and it was quite intimidating!

"Letter of Guarantee! Article 1: Jiang Cui and the Zheng family are not allowed to come to Qingshan Village for any reason!"

"Second rule, Jiang Cui is not allowed to harass the Sheng siblings again!"

"Third, the Sheng siblings and Jiang Cui will never see each other again in this life!"

"Anyone who violates this rule will be killed on the spot without any responsibility!"

Zheng Huaili finished reading the letter of guarantee stutteringly, and the people around him heard it clearly!
"Let's start with you. Go ahead and press the fingerprints! After you're done here, we'll take the banknotes and leave. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences!" Sheng Wanqiu took out a small box from her pocket. This was the red ink she got from Ding Dali, which was used to press fingerprints.

Zheng Huaili obediently pressed his fingerprint, followed by Zheng Shuer, then Zheng Guang, and finally Jiang Cui.

"Wanqiu, are you really so heartless? I am your mother!" Jiang Cui was still making her last struggle, looking at Sheng Wanqiu with pleading eyes.

"If I had a choice, I would rather you die so that my father can live!" After saying this, Sheng Wanqiu took Jiang Cui's hand, dipped it in ink, and pressed it on the letter of guarantee.

"Aunt, take the money, let's go!"

Sheng Chunhua then took the banknote from Zheng Xian's hand and put it into her pocket swiftly.

"Grandpa Lizheng, thank you for upholding justice for us this time!"

"If a young tree is not pruned, it will not grow straight. I'm sure you, Grandpa Lizheng, understand this principle. I'll take my leave now!"

Sheng Wanqiu bowed politely to Lao Lizheng, then helped Mrs. Sheng get on the donkey cart. Just as they were about to leave, she rolled her eyes, jumped off the cart, and walked towards Zheng Guang.

Zheng Guang was trembling with fear. He had already left, so was he going to be beaten again? He was truly unlucky.

"I know you must be very angry. You should know that if the Jiang family hadn't deceived you, you wouldn't have married such a big disaster."

"Your loss is entirely the fault of the Jiang family. They should be held responsible, right?"

"I remember Jiang Erzhu is studying in town, and it costs a lot of money every month. He is also Mrs. Jiang's darling. If you control him, you can have as much money as you want."

"At worst, Jiang Dazhu still has a pair of children. If we can find them a wealthy family as slaves, they'll definitely be worth a lot of money. What do you think?"

Sheng Wanqiu's voice was not loud, and only Jiang Cui and his children, who were close to Zheng Guang, heard it.
