We clearly only stepped on the third family, how come there are so many people? This makes things difficult.

"My dear sisters and brothers, uncles and aunts, I really only stepped on the third brother's family. I really didn't step on other people's families."

Everyone looked incredulous. No one in the village had seen their crops trampled in all these years. They had finally caught one man, Niu Laoer. How could there be a second person? How was it possible? It was outrageous even with the thought of using one's toes. It must have been him who did it. There was no one else.

"Do you think we will believe you? You are still trying to make excuses now."

"I see you won't cry until you see the coffin, so come with us to see if those crops that were trampled were caused by one person."

"Let's see what you have to say then."

The aunt took the second child to other people's fields and compared the crops that were trampled. "Look, the angle and height of the bend are exactly the same. You still want to deny it."

The second brother couldn't believe what he saw. He thought it was definitely not him who did it, so could they force him to confess?

However, there was so much evidence that I had to believe it, and I even wondered if there was something wrong with my memory.

"This...is really not what I did."

The second child still insists on his own opinion and absolutely refuses to admit it.

"You're really stubborn. It seems that we have to ask the village head to come. His words still carry a lot of weight."

My aunt asked a quick young man to inform the head of the village.

The second brother was a little nervous, wondering if the blame would really be put on him. What should he do?

In fact, compensation only needs to be paid to the third brother's family. But with so many people suddenly showing up, how much money should be paid?

But don’t even think about money. It’s like your life, you must never spend it.

Not long after, Li Zheng came over. His hair was messy from sleeping and he had no time to take care of it. It was obvious that he had been pulled directly from the kang.

Auntie came closer to the village chief and said, "Uncle village chief, now that you are here, please tell me how to deal with this matter. Niu Laoer refuses to admit that he stepped on other people's crops."

"I didn't do it, what am I admitting."

The second brother felt a little tired, so he squatted on the ground and looked up at the head of the village. Suddenly he felt that speaking like that made him look inferior, so he quickly stood up and brushed the dirt off his body.

Indeed, there is no evidence to prove that the second brother trampled on other people's crops. It can only be proved that he trampled on the third brother's crops, but one cannot force people to admit it.

There was no solid evidence. "We still need to think about this matter carefully, but the crops of the third brother must be compensated."

The second brother was a little dazed by what the head of the village said, but after hearing the key points, he was still convinced by the result. The head of the village was worthy of being the head of the village and would not favor any party. If he had not come today, he might have been beaten up by this group of people.

He let out a long sigh and watched the crowd disperse and go home. The second brother stood there motionless. It was better to stay away from them. Even though he didn't have to pay compensation, they might hold a grudge against him and think that he did it. They would drag him to a deserted place and beat him up. Who would he go to for justice?

He waited until he could no longer see anyone and walked home alone. Keeping the money was better than anything else. He would just have to pay him back some of his money when the third brother’s crops were harvested in autumn. Even if he didn’t, no one could do anything to him.

Others were very dissatisfied with the result. How could the headman let him off so easily? What about their own crops? No one would compensate them. They were unwilling to accept this loss.

"Hey, what do you think? Tell me. I feel uncomfortable and can't swallow this."

"What else can we do if we don't have any evidence?"

"Why don't we go and trample on Niu Laoer's land? Otherwise, I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart."

"He is a scoundrel, and you are not. You should discipline him when you have the chance. We cannot do such immoral things."

"makes sense."

"Don't think about it for now. There are many people waiting for an opportunity to deal with him. It's only a matter of time. Calm down and have a good sleep."

The group walked home, and everyone looked unhappy. They got very angry when they mentioned Niu Lao Er.

This is Nier's purpose. It doesn't matter whether compensation is paid or not. As long as everyone feels uncomfortable with Second Uncle, if something happens to him in the future, no one will be willing to help and no one will be on his side. That's good.

But she didn't know the good news yet. She was so busy during the day that she was dizzy and fell into a sound sleep on the kang.

The second brother was walking on the way home. A gust of wind blew and he felt a little chilly. He pulled his thin clothes tighter and listened to what those people said from afar. He felt anxious and angry. Who on earth wanted to frame someone? If he was caught, he would make him pay and beat him till his teeth were missing.

I'm so unlucky today. Why did I have to go on this trip when I couldn't sleep? If I had just lay on the kang quietly, nothing would have happened. By the way, it's all because of my eldest brother. He broke the door and caused me to become like this. He is half responsible for this.

If compensation is required at that time, my eldest brother will also have a share.

Finally I got home, but I still couldn't fall asleep even when I lay down. The wind was indeed strong in the house without a door. I urged my eldest brother to fix the door tomorrow. I must have been kicked in the brain to agree to this. What does it matter if the door is new or old, as long as it can be used, it's good. I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and kept my eyes open until dawn.

Nier felt that there seemed to be some movement outside last night, but it might be a dream. After making the bed and getting ready, she heard a lot of people chattering at the door. What happened brought her home so early in the morning?

After tidying up my clothes and getting downstairs, I saw a familiar face. It turned out that I was not wrong about what I heard last night. The matter of my second uncle had been settled.

Listening to them talking, I found out that the village head asked my second uncle to pay compensation. If he didn't get it by then, he would definitely ask him to pay something else. It was his fault that he always bullied my father, and he deserved this retribution.

Later, when there are few people in the field, go and spread some plant restoration agent, otherwise it will be too late to restore.

The squat toilet is almost done and the house is almost finished. It's really one happy thing after another.

It should be ready for firing in the kiln today. I don’t know what the finished product will look like, but as long as we have Ceramic Zhang, there won’t be any big problems.

After breakfast, I ran to find Master Zhang.

The squat toilet has been put in. The two men stood in front of the kiln, feeling the scorching temperature. The results of several days of hard work will soon be visible.

Nier was feeling a little excited and a little nervous, hoping to get a good finished product when the kiln was opened.

"Master Zhang, do you think it will work this time?"

"With me here, are you still afraid that it won't work?"

Touching his short beard, his eyes were filled with confidence. Although he had never made anything like this before, his years of experience gave Zhang some confidence.

"Then I'll believe it. If you can make it, I'll treat you to a meal. People who eat the dishes I cook always praise them."
