Everyone was so regretful that their intestines turned green, regretting why they had offended Mr. He and Gu Yunxi by being so quick-tongued.

That’s fifty cents a day! A young and strong man in the village went out to do hard work and only earned twenty or thirty cents a day. The salary offered by the Lu family was as much as that!

Those who were helping Mr. He were surprised and happy when they heard what Mr. He said, and ran to the village chief's house, fearing that they would be late and not be able to register.

After a while, the women who were sitting under the banyan tree almost dispersed, leaving only Mrs. Li and Mr. Mo.

Gu Yunxi looked cold, glanced at them, and then looked away.

These people actually want to go, after all, the wages are high even in all the places in the country!

However, even if they wanted to go, the Lu family would not invite them. Each of them is more lazy than the other. Can they do the Lu family's work well? She didn't believe it anyway.

She sneered and said to Mr. He, "Mom, I don't want to leave. Let's go home."

Hearing this, Mrs. He nodded, not wanting to continue to quarrel with Mrs. Li and the others here.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law slowly walked home again...

Just as he was walking to the door of his house, he bumped into Father Lu, who was in a hurry. He took a hoe from the house, put it on his shoulder, and walked outside.

He quickly stopped him: "Dad, how long have you just finished lunch? Why don't you take a break and then go to the fields?"

But Father Lu was very anxious and said: "Daughter-in-law, just now Yuancheng ran over and said that something happened in our melon field. The melons were smashed. I have to take a look..."

After saying that, without waiting for He's response, he rushed out and walked quickly towards the melon field.

This frightened Ms. He, and she quickly ordered Gu Yunxi to enter the house, and she followed her and ran to the melon field.

Gu Yunxi was left alone, standing at the door, speechless.

She thought for a moment, then held her belly and slowly walked towards the melon field.

It just so happened that I had just wanted to go out for a walk to eat, but Mrs. Li and others affected my mood. The melon fields were not far away, so I went over to see what happened.

When Gu Yunxi walked to the melon field, he saw his father-in-law, brothers Lu Yuancheng, Lu Yuanping, and the village chief surrounding the melon field to the east, pointing at something.

Next to them, the hands of three eight or nine-year-old children were tied, and those children were crying non-stop.

When she got closer, she discovered that several of the watermelons on the easternmost side had been smashed to pieces, and the reddish pulp was still exposed inside.

Gu Yunxi was very angry. These melons, which her family had grown from seeds to now, were smashed to pieces when they were about to mature.

Apparently, it was these children who did it?

They were so vicious that they came to their medicine field and smashed this good watermelon!

Gu Yunxi walked up to Mr. He and pointed at the children: "Mom, what's going on? Did they ruin our melons?"

He was hunched over, picking up rotten watermelons in the field, when she heard Gu Yunxi's voice and raised her head.

"Oh, ancestor, why are you here in the melon field? Didn't I let you into the house?"

"Isn't it because of those kids? You didn't learn well at a young age, so you came to our melon field and tried to steal our watermelon."

As He spoke, the anger that had been suppressed for a while came back up again.

She pointed at the children and cursed: "Those who kill a thousand cuts don't want others to grow something. I have hands and feet, but I don't know how to grow it myself, and I come to steal from others."

"People say you steal needles when you are young and steal gold when you grow up. Now you dare to steal our melons at such a young age. How can you do it when you grow up?"

"These good melons were not yet ripe. When I found that I couldn't eat them, I smashed several of them. It's really vicious!"

Gu Yunxi had never seen Mr. He so angry and cursing. For a moment, he was a little stunned, but he felt very happy in his heart.

Those children deserved it! It's so bad. He couldn't eat the melon after stealing it, but smashed it. This kind of thinking can be described as vicious.

"Mom, don't be angry. How many melons they smashed at our house, let their parents pay us more compensation."

"If compensation is not given, these children will be sent to see the officials."

"I don't believe it. If these children are sent to see officials, their parents can still sit still."

When Mrs. He heard Gu Yunxi comforting her like this, the fire in her heart subsided a little. She stared at the children, frightened and made them shed tears even more quickly.

If the son doesn't teach, it's the father's fault. These children really need to be educated by their parents.

However, these children are not from their village.

Father Lu asked them where their home was with a dark face. They were frightened and confessed truthfully.

"We, we are all from Xipogou, uncle, please let us go. We know we were wrong and we will never dare to do it again. Wuwuwu... don't send us to see the officials."

Father Lu looked at them begging, but his heart was not moved at all. These melons in the field were grown by him with his own hands. It took a lot of effort to grow to such a big size and have feelings!

Now, they were smashed to pieces by these children. Although they only smashed a few, it was only because Lu Yuancheng noticed them in time and stopped them.

If Lu Yuancheng didn't come to see it, he didn't know what kind of damage they would have done to this melon field!

If you don't punish them properly this time, when the watermelons mature, more people from nearby villages will think that their family is easy to bully and steal them!

The village chief looked at Father Lu's gloomy face and knew that he was not going to spare these children easily, so he also had an idea in his mind.

"Brother, these children are not from our village. Let's send them to Xipogou Village Elder Pan and ask him to call the parents of these children to come out and discuss how to solve this matter."

Because of this matter, if these eight or nine-year-old children were directly sent to the government, their village would also become enemies with the people in Xipogou.

Furthermore, not only this melon field, but also the eldest brother’s twenty acres of medicinal fields were purchased from Xipogou.

On someone else's territory, you have to show some kindness.

Father Lu also understands this truth.

He nodded and agreed.

Several people dragged the three children and walked angrily towards the village of Xipogou...

He cleaned up the ruined melon field, and followed the village chiefs with Gu Yunxi to see how they would solve the problem.

As Gu Yunxi walked, she looked at the children who were crying all the way back and thought to herself, these children must be beaten. They didn't learn well at a young age and deserved to be beaten. She had no sympathy for them at all.

However, she overestimates the goodness of human nature and underestimates the evil of human nature.
