He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

Niu Aiguo's collective resolution was quite simple.

All the villagers present participated!

Raise your hand if you believe that Niu Bayi has already paid off his family debts through his years of dedication and doesn't need to use a fishing boat to do so.

Raise your hand if you think Niu Bayi still needs to use a fishing boat to repay his family debts.

Many people believed that Niu Bayi should return the fishing boat, so he gave the fishing boat to Niu Dazhuang to settle all family grievances!

Those who think Niu Bayi doesn't need to return the fishing boat, then he doesn't need to. His past contributions are enough!

"Hey, what do you think, August 1st?"

After Niu Aiguo finished speaking, he asked a question.

Niu Bayi nodded without hesitation.

Niu Dazhuang immediately shouted, "No, I disagree! Why should others have to raise their hands for my family matters? That's not fair!"

Ma Chunhua also shouted, "Yes, I disagree too!"

Chen Dagui and Chen Meifeng shouted in unison, "It's our family matter, what business is it of yours to interfere? We don't agree!!"

He Zhenzhen sneered, "What's the use of disagreeing? The ties have been severed. You're the only ones who can argue and make trouble. Can't we all work together for a fair judgment? Disagreement is invalid!"

Niu Aiguo spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Zhenzhen is right, disagreement is invalid!"

"If the kinship hasn't been severed, it's your family matter. But if the kinship is severed and there are still disputes, then it's my matter, and it's the matter of the whole village!"

"Everyone, raise your hands to vote. Those who think the fishing boat should be returned on August 1st, raise your hands!"

Niu Dazhuang, Ma Chunhua, Chen Dagui, and Chen Meifeng all raised their hands in a flurry.

Niu Dazhuang also glared at the fishermen who were helping him.

Several fishermen hesitated at first, but when they saw Niu Dazhuang glare at them, they raised their hands.

Among the villagers on the dock, some raised their hands, but there were only three or four scattered around.

They were all people who had a good relationship with Niu Dazhuang.

Niu Aiguo looked at it and nodded.

"Alright, fifteen people raised their hands. Niu Dazhuang, your family shouldn't count normally, but I'll make an exception and count you, though. However, you can't count both arms, only one!"

The group of fishermen burst into laughter.

Then, Niu Aiguo exhaled and spoke.

"Raise your hand if you think Bayi doesn't need to return the fishing boat; everything he did in the past is enough to repay the debt of kinship!"

Immediately, He Rong's family raised their hands.

He Zhenzhen held it particularly high.

She even lifted it up while jumping.

Then, with a whoosh, so many arms were raised almost simultaneously.

So many arms were raised like a forest, gleaming in the sunlight.

Niu Aiguo nodded in satisfaction and slowly raised his hand.

There were also twenty or thirty people who didn't raise their hands.

Besides those who raised their hands earlier, there were also some who clearly abstained, not wanting to join in the fun.

But that's enough.

There were so many hands raised that it was impossible to count them all.

If there aren't eighty, there are at least a hundred.

He Zhenzhen clapped her hands excitedly.

"The eyes of the masses are discerning, and everyone harbors a sense of justice! Thank you all, on behalf of the August 1st Army, I thank you all!"

With tears in her eyes, she stood by the boat and bowed deeply to the dock.

He Rong, Zhang Xiuli, and He Laifu laughed excitedly and clapped their hands.

Niu Bayi smiled slightly and didn't say anything, but like He Zhenzhen, he bowed slightly to all the villagers.

As for Niu Dazhuang and the others, their faces were deathly pale.

Niu Aiguo turned his head and stared at them with a stern look.

"That's it, let's call it a day!"

"Ba Yi doesn't need to compensate you for the fishing boat. He's done enough in the past. Since we've severed ties, there's no need for us to have anything to do with each other anymore. Don't make things complicated, or don't blame me, Niu Aiguo, for being ruthless."

"Do you understand?"

He Rong also spoke up.

"Niu Dazhuang, you'd better accept this, or you won't be able to live in the village anymore. Everyone has seen what you've done all these years, what your wife has done, and what Bayi has done."

Niu Dazhuang stood there, stunned, unsure of what to say.

Ma Chunhua was at a loss, but then she quickly changed the subject.

"Fine, even if we don't compensate for this fishing boat, we'll compensate for the other one!"

"Everyone saw it, my son was beaten terribly by Niu Bayi. He can't take care of himself anymore, and he might be disabled for life!"

"You have to compensate us with a fishing boat, or at least 10,000 yuan. If you don't compensate us at all, call the police immediately!"

Niu Dazhuang immediately nodded.

"That's right, even if I can't compensate for mine, I absolutely have to compensate for the much more expensive one!"

Chen Dagui immediately began to wail.

"My life is over. Niu Bayi beat me to a pulp. If he doesn't pay me back, I can't live. I'm calling the police and having him arrested! Niu Bayi, pay me back my fishing boat, or at least ten thousand yuan!"

The fishermen got excited and sided with Niu Dazhuang and the others, harshly criticizing Niu Bayi.

Make him pay for the ship right now!

Or else we'll lose money!

Niu Aiguo was at a loss and could only smile bitterly, "Bayi, I've taken care of the previous ones for you, but I can't help you with this one."

Niu Bayi said, "Uncle Aiguo, thank you so much. You've done more than enough for me. I'll take care of this!"

Then he raised his voice and spoke.

"Chen Dagui, first of all, you weren't beaten that badly by me at all; you were just faking it!"

"Secondly, you colluded with pirates to rob my seafood at sea and even rammed and destroyed my father-in-law's fishing boat. I haven't even made you pay for it yet, and you want me to pay? Where do you get the nerve!"

Chen Dagui shouted, "I didn't! You're framing me! You just don't want to pay me back, so you're fabricating this story about me colluding with pirates against you. How could I do such a thing!"

Ma Chunhua also shouted.

"That's right, my son is a good person, how could he collude with pirates? You're talking nonsense!"

"No one in the whole village will believe a single word you say, right, everyone?"

Now it's her turn to get the villagers to speak up for her.

Anyway, there's no way to prove it now that the dead are dead.

They weren't afraid of a single one.

Niu Bayi sneered, and suddenly his tongue crackled like thunder!

"The pirate leader you've been colluding with is called Ghost Head Biao. Do you want him to testify?"

Chen Dagui was stunned, and his face paled.

"Ghost Head Biao is dead! How can he testify?"

Chen Dagui truly believed that Gui Toubiao and the others were dead.

If he hadn't died, he would have appeared by now.

Niu Bayi said, "Gui Tou Biao's gang of men are dead, but he's lucky he survived. He's recuperating in a cave. Let's go find him and confront him now!"

He looked around.

"Everyone, Chen Dagui colluded with pirates to try and kill me, and now he's turning around and blaming me, pretending to be something he's not, demanding compensation. He's utterly despicable!"

"Now let's go find Gui Toubiao to testify and prove whether Chen Dagui made him do this!"

"Those who want to come, come with me."

Then, he jumped off the fishing boat.

The He Zhenzhen family, who were standing nearby, were initially filled with anxiety and fear.

But upon hearing Niu Bayi say this, his face lit up with excitement.

As long as it's proven that Chen Dagui did this wicked thing, even if we cripple him, we won't have to pay compensation!

He Zhenzhen quickly jumped down after her.

"My Bayi doesn't lie. Everyone, follow me. Let's go find Gui Toubiao now and have him testify that it was indeed Chen Dagui who ordered him to rob Bayi and kill him!"

Chen Dagui was trembling all over.

"You're lying, Ghost Head Biao is definitely dead, he... he couldn't possibly be testifying for you!"
