【5】Apologize to Xinghua
"The village chief, take advantage of the villagers all here and talk about this matter today." Wu Daguang faced the villagers: "I, Wu Daguang, will definitely pay back the money. Before the end of this year, I will return the money I owe over the years to you."
"Who can't speak loud words?" someone shouted.
"I have a base here and a field. It's summer now, and there are crops in the fields. I'll mortgage it to you."
"How much does that acre of land cost? Your house is useless."
Wu Daguang's eyes turned cold and he simply played with it: "If you believe me, I will pay back the money. If you don't believe me, do you have any solutions?"
These words made the villagers present unable to speak. They really had no choice. In the past, Wu Daguang was useless and came to collect debts. Now he said that he could only choose to believe that he could not kill people like the old society.
"Since you don't make a sound, I think you have agreed. Wu Daguang, I, vowed to the sky today and I will definitely return it before the end of the year."
Seeing the situation, the village chief said to everyone: "Since Daguang is willing to do it, we will beg him for a few months. It is not easy for a man to pull a daughter."
No one took the initiative, but no one believed Wu Daguang's words.
Wu Daguang didn't want to end it. Before Xinghua was clear, he wanted to tell the villagers that he was no longer Wu Daguang of the past, and that if he provoked him, he would be in trouble.
"Village Chief, I heard from my daughter that someone had snatched her new clothes. I didn't want to investigate who snatched the new clothes. The person who snatched the clothes secretly handed them over to the village chief in private and asked the village chief to return the apricot blossoms to my family. As for Erlaizi, I think he should go to the place he should go. Not only did he eat the apricot blossoms for a day, he also beat the apricot blossoms. I remember saying that selling the apricot blossoms to whom the next village was about to sell the apricot blossoms? The crime of trafficking children seemed to be a serious crime." Wu Daguang looked at Erlaizi on purpose, and in fact, these words were also said to the villagers.
Erlaizi has never been to school and is normal to steal chickens and dogs, but he never thought of going to prison. When he heard Wu Daguang say this, he suddenly became soft.
Wu Daguang predicted that no one would help Er Laizi. Er Laizi was so famous in the village that everyone called for a beating. Besides, the villagers heard that selling children was a serious crime, so no one dared to get involved.
The villagers saw that Wu Daguang was a little different from before, and they couldn't say what was different. They probably had changed since that suicide, and maybe they could really pay back some of the money.
"Village Chief, you are the one who decides for me, and I am also not wasting everyone's money." Er Laizi could only ask the village chief, who was his only way out.
Wu Daguang pulled the corner of his mouth, and was determined to pay the price for Er Laizi. How could he avoid it: "You still want to bring the village chief to the village chief if you commit a crime? Do you think the village chief will shelter a criminal?"
The village chief is a smart old man. How could he not know that Wu Daguang gave him a way out? As long as he followed the words, Wu Daguang really changed.
"I can't help it, Er Laizi, either. This is really a serious sin. We can't cover you up."
Er Laizi was so panicked when he learned that the village chief was not protecting him. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He knew that it was useless to ask anyone, so he could only ask Wu Daguang. However, the two of them changed their positions and became bullied people, and they felt uncomfortable.
"Follow me to the Public Security Bureau." Wu Daguang deliberately intimidated.
Er Laizi was stunned. He was afraid, how could he not be afraid?
"Brother, I really didn't mean it. I just tried my best. Brother, I'm wrong. You don't care about villains." Er Laizi took out 30 cents from his pocket and handed them to Wu Daguang: "Brother, this is the money I got from Xinghua. Brother, you go around me once, please."
Wu Daguang snatched back the 30 cents and kicked Er Laizi in the stomach. Er Laizi was kicked far away and he covered his stomach and did not dare to fight back. Wu Daguang could imagine that Xinghua was like this in the middle of the night.
"I ask you to apologize to Xinghua." Wu Daguang said coldly to Erlaizi.
Erlaizi was a little embarrassed, "Brother, Xinghua is a child, I..."
"Do multiple-choice questions, you think about them yourself."
After Wu Daguang finished speaking, he turned around and left. He wanted to use Er Laizi to kill Ji Jinghou. Don’t think that he and Xinghua are easy to bully.
Wu Daguang went home and did not unload the truck. He immediately added a lot of meat to the apricot blossoms that had been hungry for a day to make up for the suffering the apricot blossoms suffered today.
After waiting for about an hour, the village chief brought Er Laizi to apologize. The village chief returned the clothes that the village woman had snatched back to Xinghua.
Erlaizi was embarrassed when facing a four-year-old child. He went to see the village chief intentionally or unintentionally, and Xinghua also looked at Wu Daguang from time to time.
The village chief deliberately did not go to see Er Laizi.
Er Laizi had no choice but to say to Xinghua: "Xinghua, it's uncle who did something wrong, it's uncle who is sorry for you. Look at Uncle who takes the initiative to admit his mistake, can you forgive me?"
Xinghua, who was apologized, became even more nervous. When she heard Erlaizi's words, she was so scared that she shrank back and turned to look at her father, who nodded to her.
Xinghua responded with her trembling lips: "As long as you don't bully me again in the future."
"No, no, no, who will bully you in the future, I will help you hit him." Erlaizi said tacitly, the smile on his face was extremely fake.
"Okay, you have completed the task. Our apricot blossoms don't need your protection." Wu Daguang spoke.
Er Laizi wanted to escape, but because Wu Daguang did not dare to act rashly, he heard Wu Daguang speak and said goodbye to him as if he had heard the imperial edict, "Then I'll leave first."
The village chief left behind walked to Xinghua with a loving look on his face, wanting to touch Xinghua's head, Xinghua avoided it in fear.
The village chief just wanted to show his good side. After Xinghua was beaten, the village chief could see that he was an old fox after he went.
"Da Guang, I'm actually here and I have something to say to you."
"Uncle, just say anything you have." Wu Daguang politely brought the bench to sit down for the village chief.
"It's not easy for everyone. I'll do it. You've owed more than a thousand quick money over the years, so I've recorded it all." The village chief took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to Wu Daguang.
Wu Daguang took over the bill. The book was new and his handwriting was neat. It was obvious that he had just written it for a while and remembered every note clearly. The villagers were afraid that they would not pay it back.
"I still have one in my hand, you can hold this one." said the village chief.
"Don't worry, village chief, I will pay back all the money owed by the villagers."
Wu Daguang looked through the bill casually, his eyes on the recent debt, which was from the day before yesterday, owing two bones to Butcher Liu.
"No, village chief, when did I owe Butcher Liu two yuan? I bought the big bones and gave it to you. I can't recognize such a foolish account. I think I, Wu Daguang, can't bully me."
The village chief glanced at the bill accidentally, not saying that there was a problem with the bill or the bill was fine. Instead, he was very good at saying that it was good: "I'm not afraid of this. When I pay back the money, the villagers will be there. It was not your borrower. The villagers and I will make the decision for you."
In fact, the village chief simply didn't believe that Wu Daguang could take out so much money within one year.
