The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm
Chapter 378 Discussion
"Then let me talk first."
The old lady must be the first, and no one can surpass her.
"Village head, you see I'm old and my legs are not very flexible. I want to go down the mountain first, so I asked my second son to ask if they can give us some convenience and let us go to the front of the line."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, spitting everywhere. People who were closest to her stepped back one after another, and those behind her stretched their necks to watch the excitement. Naturally, they couldn't step back too far. Then someone in the crowd whispered, "Don't step back, you're stepping on my feet."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
I had no choice but to stand there, wiping my face with my sleeves from time to time.
"Who knew that he didn't agree and even insulted me. I couldn't stand it, so I asked the eldest and second brother to carry me over."
The old lady covered her legs with her hands, her mouth drooped, and her eyes were full of grievance.
But the village head would not be fooled by her. This person was very good at pretending and he was almost deceived by her before.
"As a result, a group of them rushed over and my leg was injured."
As she said this she uttered "ouch" twice. If the eldest and second oldest brothers didn't know her very well, they would have been fooled by her pitiful appearance.
Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything else, a voice came from the crowd.
"Hmph, stop pretending. You think you're right to cut in line? I'm wronging you by not letting you cut in line, right? You can be so shameless now that you're old, taking advantage of your age."
"Yes, if you want to be filial, go find your own children. Don't tell us. They are not our elders. We won't serve them~"
"That's right, I won't serve you."
The village head waved his hand and said, "Speak nicely, don't say anything angry."
The old lady was a little angry after hearing what they said, but she was more secretly happy. Her leg was injured and she had been wronged. No matter what, the result would be in her favor. Either she would get compensation or she could get to the front of the line. Either way, she would not lose out.
After listening to the explanations from both sides, the head of the village finally understood. The old lady wanted to take advantage, but when she didn't get it, she got angry and wanted to use force. But now her leg is injured, but there is no doctor here, so it is difficult to judge whether she is really injured.
If you get injured, it will be a headache to decide who will compensate you and how much.
The man who was caught by the old lady just now still has a pale face and looks dazed. He doesn't know where his soul has gone. It's really scary.
The man seemed to be still muttering, "I can't pay the money, I can't pay the money."
The head of the village frowned and held out his hand, "Come, let's go over there and talk."
The old lady thought that he was an official after all, so she had to give him some face.
"Okay, let's go."
The crowd did not disperse, but looked over here eagerly, as if they could hear what they were discussing this way.
The village head waited until the old lady's stretcher was safely placed on the ground before he dared to start talking, for he was afraid that she would lose her temper and something unpredictable would happen, which would then be blamed on him.
"Old lady, I think we should both take a step back and not push people too hard. Sometimes it will backfire. What do you think?"
The old lady looked at the head of the village. This man always spoke in a roundabout way and never spoke directly, so she couldn't figure out what he meant.
"Then tell me how we can both take a step back."
The village chief squatted down and looked at the other person directly.
"If you ask me, let's put the compensation aside for now. No one can afford it now."
"Even if we ask them to pay compensation, it's just a verbal promise, and you can't get it."
"I'll go and discuss it for you and get you to the front of the queue. What do you think?"
The old lady thought that it would be better to pay compensation than to cut in line, and she would be happier to get the money. But after what the head of the village said, she felt that there was some truth in it.
These days, people can't even afford food or clothes, and no one can afford to pay. But he came right up and asked for no compensation. He felt uncomfortable, so he decided to make a scene, just in case he could get the money.
The old lady stiffened her neck and stared at the head of the village, as if she wanted to pierce a hole in him.
"No, I don't agree."
Seeing her being so ungrateful, the village head stroked his beard and realized that this person valued his life the most. It was very likely that he was just looking for an excuse to blackmail others and was not really injured. "Why don't we find a doctor to take a look and see where the injury is and how serious it is? We can tell at a glance."
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "It's hard to find one now. When we get to the place arranged by the county magistrate, there will definitely be a doctor. After the examination, there will be an explanation of how much compensation is required, right? I can't just say it's a certain amount, don't you think?"
The old lady touched her leg and found that she had not touched it just now. It seemed that the doctor had exposed her. She didn't know how those people would scold her behind her back. She didn't get the money and got into trouble.
You must not see a doctor. This approach will not work. I thought that there were no doctors here and I could get away with it, but it seems that this is not going to work.
The old lady's neck softened, her eyes were not as bright as before, and her tone was not as arrogant as before, "I don't want the money, but you have to help me get a good position."
As long as the old lady doesn't lose her temper, doesn't throw things at people, and agrees to this matter, it's already very good. Asking her to make any more concessions is definitely impossible.
At this critical juncture, don't add to the chaos.
"Okay, I'll try my best. I'll go talk to them. The boat to pick you up will be here soon. If they agree, I'll arrange it for you."
The old lady understood the hidden meaning of the headman's words, which was to ask her not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise she would miss the ship and would also slow down everyone's progress. Okay, then she wouldn't make it too difficult for him. At least it was good enough for him to be able to join the team.
The head of the village walked to the front of the group of people, and the chattering sound disappeared instantly. The people behind him stood on tiptoe for fear of not being able to see.
"I have already persuaded the old lady not to pursue who crushed her leg, so there is no need to mention the matter of compensation."
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, patted their chests, and felt less tense.
"Just now a bunch of people surrounded her, and some people pushed in from behind. Not only the people in front are responsible, but also the people behind who didn't touch her. Don't think this has nothing to do with you."
The head of the village knew the old lady very well. She was greedy for money and would risk her life for it.
If we neither compensate her nor let her cut in line, I'm afraid there will be a big uproar.
The best way is to let her cut in line, fulfill her wish, and prevent others from losing money.
Involve everyone in this matter, and then let the old lady cut in line without much objection. Otherwise, no one will be able to go down the mountain tonight.
After looking around, he said, "There's just one condition. Just allow her to cut in line."
The pale-faced man was barely recovering, but he was so frightened that he almost stopped breathing.
