Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum

"Master Zhao, I also heard about what happened to those kids yesterday. They had some unpleasantness with another student in the school."

Master Zhao knew that Jiang Jiang came to him today just for this matter. As the saying goes, one who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and one who receives someone's gifts will be grateful. After eating Jiang Jiang's meal, he must express his gratitude.

"Mrs. Jiang, to be honest with you, although I am the teacher of the school, I am not the only one who has the final say in this school. This is the village school, and there are more than one student in the village."

Mr. Zhao felt a little guilty, but in the village, the words of the village chief and the elders were more effective than his.

Besides, Li Dongliang and Li Changyuan were ruthless and Wang Jiaqi's body was covered with bruises, but fortunately he didn't suffer any serious injuries. Master Zhao felt that there was still a chance.

He took a sip of tea and said, "Mrs. Jiang, why don't I host a meal for Wang Jiaqi and his family to have with you so that the two families can talk it out to avoid any unpleasantness. If it really doesn't work out, I will write a letter of recommendation to recommend them to study with teachers in my county, especially Laibao. He is very talented and must not be delayed."

Jiang Jiang heard Master Zhao's subtext clearly. If he could reconcile with Zhao Jiaqi's family, that would be the best. If not, he would recommend a few children to study in the private school in the county, which would be a way out.

As for spending more money on studying in the county, that’s nothing.

Jiang Jiang could hear the hidden meaning, and the others could naturally hear it as well. They all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the meal was not in vain.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Master Zhao."

Before leaving, Jiang Jiang asked Li Xu to secretly put half a tael of silver into Master Zhao's sleeve.

Master Zhao remained calm after receiving the silver, secretly admiring that Jiang was indeed a very good person.

Money makes the world go round, and this was true for Master Zhao. Even though he had to teach his students the next day, he had already told his wife at home in advance that he would entertain the Zhao Jiaqi family and the Jiang Jiang family in the evening.

Jiang Jiang did not bring the children with him. Instead, he brought Li Xu and Li Sheng, as well as a few pounds of cakes, and arrived at Master Zhao's house as promised.

With Master Zhao as the middleman, the Zhao Qi family and the Jiang Jiang family shook hands and made peace.

Jiang Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if things didn't get complicated.

But things did not go as everyone expected. In just a few days, the Zhao family suddenly changed their mind.

It is said that Zhao Jiaqi is bedridden and his condition is getting worse. If the Jiang Jiang family is unwilling to compensate, not only will the three Li Dongliang brothers not be able to go to private school, they will also go to the county government to sue the Jiang Jiang family.

Li Xu was so angry that he even broke the bowl.

"Dongliang said that he clearly saw Zhao Jiaqi coming to study yesterday, full of energy and vitality. How come his condition suddenly worsened today and he is bedridden?"

Huang Ying also had a look of resentment on her face.

"Yes! It's obviously the Zhao family who went back on their word and wanted to make a fortune."

It's not surprising that they think so. Zhaojia Village has always had a bad reputation. As one of the poorest villages along with Daxi Village, Zhaojia Village resorts to all kinds of fraud and deception to make money.

A few years ago, Zhaojia Village committed a major crime and was ordered to be punished by the then county magistrate, and the village was quiet for a while.

But what puzzled Jiang Jiang was that if the Zhao family wanted to pay compensation, why didn't they show any sign of it when they were negotiating with Master Zhao before?

She felt that there must be some story behind this.

The news spread quickly, and the affairs of Jiang Jiang's family spread from Zhaojia Village to Daxi Village.

Some are worried, some are indifferent, and some are gloating.

One day, Li Chunhua sneaked into Jiang Jiang's house.

"Sister Jiang Jiang, guess what I saw?"

Li Chunhua secretly told Jiang Jiang that a few days ago, she saw Liang Xiaohua carrying something and returning to her parents' home.

Logically speaking, this is not a big deal. It is normal for people to go back to their parents' home.

But the problem is that Liang Xiaohua's parents' home is in Zhaojia Village, and Liang Xiaohua happens to be a relative of Zhao Jiaqi's family. What's more coincidental is that the Zhao family began to change their mind the day after Liang Xiaohua returned.

With so many coincidences, Jiang Jiang no longer believed that this was just a coincidence.

The news that the family opened a sweet water shop in the town and made money probably has not spread to the neighboring villages, unless someone deliberately leaked it.

The reason why they were able to negotiate with the Zhao family before was, on the one hand, because of Master Zhao's mediation, and on the other hand, because the Zhao family believed that Jiang Jiang's family was of no benefit.

But if Liang Xiaohua exaggerated something, the matter might not end well.

Jiang Jiang took half a pound of bacon hanging on the beam from the kitchen as a reward for Li Chunhua telling her the news.

Seeing that she really couldn't refuse, Li Chunhua had to accept it. She knew that she would not suffer any loss if she followed Jiang Jiang.

"Sister Jiang Jiang, if you have anything to ask for, you must come to me. I can't pay, but can I still help with my work?"

Before leaving, Jiang Jiang also told her not to tell anyone about this.

"Okay! Don't worry, I, Li Chunhua, will do the job." Li Chunhua patted her chest and assured, then left happily carrying half a pound of bacon.

Now that he already knew what was going on, Jiang Jiang didn't mind playing some fun with them to see what tricks they were up to.

She wanted to see how big the Zhao family's appetite was.

Jiang Jiang still entrusted Master Zhao to help convey a message to the Zhao family, and the two families should find a time to sit down and talk again.

Master Zhao already felt guilty about the Zhao family's sudden change of mind, so naturally he agreed to Jiang Jiang's request.

The Zhao family also felt that Jiang Jiang must have given in, and now that the opportunity to take advantage had come, they would not miss it.

The second meeting was somewhat unpleasant for both parties.

Zhao Jiaqi's grandfather Zhao Daqiang made a huge demand, demanding ten taels of silver from the Jiang Jiang family as compensation.

Li Sheng suddenly felt lucky that his wife was not here, otherwise she would probably not be able to resist scratching someone after hearing about the ten taels of silver.

Just by hearing this, Jiang Jiang was completely certain that the Zhao family had already found out about his family's situation.

If one is willing, one can roughly estimate the annual surplus based on the fertile and dry land owned by the Jiang Jiang family. Liang Xiaohua, who keeps an eye on his family all day long, is naturally one of them.

Seeing that Li Xu and Li Sheng were unmoved, Zhao Daqiang used his ultimate move.

"My nephew is a constable in the county government. Your son ignored our friendship and beat my grandson to the point that he is bedridden. Is there any law against this? I will report this to the authorities and make sure they are never allowed to take the imperial examinations!"

These words frightened Li Xu and Li Sheng, who had never been to school.

The two brothers looked at Jiang Jiang for help, but Jiang Jiang also wanted to know what the Zhao family was up to, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, the Zhao family became even more arrogant and revealed their true colors.

"I heard that you are a famous rich farmer in Daxi Village, and your family owns ten acres of fertile land and sixteen acres of dry land."
