The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Cai Daxiong walked into the room with his eyes black and purple. Zheng Er's wife was furious when she saw him.

Lying on the kang and unable to move did not affect her loud voice at all.

"Brother, what happened to you? Did Qi Feifei hit you?"

Cai Daxiong didn't say anything. He felt it was too embarrassing for a grown man to let a little girl have sex with Zhou Yi.

When I went out, I swore that I was going to vent the girl's anger, but now I can't open my mouth.

Cai Erniu sat down on the kang with his head down, "Sister, Qi Feifei is not a human being, he is clearly a monkey spirit."

Zheng Er's wife: "What? Monkey spirit?"

Cai Erniu: "You didn't see it, she climbed the tree very fast, like a monkey. Who can beat her? She was right in front of me in a flash, and before I could see clearly, I was hit."

Zheng Er's wife's eyes widened. "So, you two didn't hit her? You just got beaten?"

Cai Erniu also felt ashamed and lowered his head and said, "Yeah."

Zheng Er's wife was so excited that she wanted to sit up. She raised her arms, but her butt hurt when she moved, so she lay down again.

"Can't you two attack together? Can she beat two people at the same time?"

Cai Erniu: "She attacked me all of a sudden. When she hit my brother, I was lying on the ground unable to move!"

Zheng's second daughter-in-law was so angry that she was gasping for breath.

"I can't let this damn girl off. You two should go find the captain now. You can't let her off so easily. She has to pay for the medical expenses. You two could have gone mushroom picking these days, so let her pay for the mushrooms as well. You also have to pay for nutrition. You have to eat better to recover from this injury."

Cai Erniu: "Sister, I'm hungry. Let's go after we finish eating."

Zheng Er's wife glared at him and said, "Okay, Xiaoqin is cooking. It will be ready soon. I'll go after we finish eating."

The brother and sister discussed how much money it would cost.

I hadn't realized the seriousness of Cai Daxiong's eye injury. It was common for him to get black eyes and scratches on his face after fighting, so I didn't think much about it.

After negotiation, they decided to extort at least thirty dollars.

Before we had dinner, Old Man Cai and Aunt Cai came in a hurry.

As soon as Aunt Cai entered the house, she burst into tears and held the hand of Zheng Er's wife, "Da Yingzi, what happened? Who beat you like this? Tell me, I will go and settle the score with her now."

Cai Daxiong said quickly: "Mom, mom, don't worry..."

Aunt Cai turned around and saw that her eldest son's eyes were swollen into slits.

She stopped crying and yelled, "Who beat my son like this? Take mom with you and let's go find her."

As he said that, he pulled Cai Daxiong and was about to walk out.

How could Cai Daxiong dare to do that? Qi Feifei is a person who doesn't play by the rules. If he were to start a fight, he would probably die with his old arms and legs.

He quickly pulled her, "Mom, mom, don't be anxious, let's talk slowly, you listen to our plan first."

Aunt Cai sat on the kang, twisted her mouth and rolled a cigarette, "Okay, I'll listen first."

Several children talked at once and told the whole process and plan.

Aunt Cai: "Okay, I'll go to the captain's house with you guys later."

After dinner, Aunt Cai took her two sons to the team leader’s house.

The captain and Doctor Yao had just finished their drinks and were lying on the kang chatting.

As soon as I saw someone coming, I knew something was wrong.

The captain sat up and greeted, "Auntie Cai is here too? Please sit down."

Aunt Cai wiped her tears and said, "Captain, it's not easy for an old woman like me to come all the way here. My daughter and son were beaten up. As the captain, you have to make the decision for our family."

The captain looked at her without saying anything, waiting for her to continue.

"Look at my son's injury. He had been planning to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms these days. As everyone knows, the two brothers can pick 70 to 80 kilograms of mushrooms a day. Erniu is still looking forward to saving money to get married!"

Before she could finish, the captain's face darkened.

Aunt Cai didn't care about that. "Now Da Yingzi is lying on the kang and can't move. She is a city girl and can't bully others like this, can she?

Qi Feifei beat my children like this, so he should at least compensate our family for medical expenses, lost wages, and nutrition expenses."

The captain held his pipe and asked, "Have you discussed this with Zheng Er's wife? Can you represent her?"

Aunt Cai: "We have already discussed it. Zheng Er is not at home, so I will have to help deal with her affairs."

The captain said in a serious tone, "Okay, how do you want to deal with this? Tell me, I want to hear it."

Aunt Cai: "Da Yingzi hurt her butt and can't work for half a day. We should at least give her some compensation for lost work and nutrition. It should be at least 20 yuan in total.

During the time when Daxiong’s eyes have not healed, the brothers’ lost wages should be at least 20 yuan, right?

Including the cost of medicine and nutrition, it would cost at least fifty dollars.

Let her clear it all at once. The autumn harvest is almost here and we don't have time to argue with her.

Captain, what do you think? "

In those days, the gift was only one yuan or fifty cents. Twenty yuan was enough to celebrate the New Year, and one hundred yuan was enough to marry a wife. A strong laborer could not earn even one hundred yuan in a year.

The fifty dollars they asked for is definitely not a small amount.

The captain looked at them and said, "It makes sense to give Cai Daxiong compensation for lost work, but Cai Erniu is fine, why should he be paid for lost work?"

Aunt Cai: "Daxiong is injured, Erniu can't go mushroom picking alone, and he's delayed. Isn't this all Qi Feifei's fault? Naturally, she has to take care of it."

The team leader said: "You can't just settle accounts like this anywhere. Besides, the incident was caused by your family, so you are also responsible. You can't let the educated youth Xiao Qi bear all the responsibility."

Aunt Cai: "It's not considered Erniu, so I'll give you forty-five."

The team leader said: "I originally told Zheng Er's wife to find someone to help her take care of the house for a few days until she can go out to work."

Aunt Cai said quickly, "No need for anyone to wait on you, I'll take care of you for a few days. I can convert it into money."

The team leader said, "Okay, I understand what your family means. The medical expenses, lost wages, and nutrition expenses of Zheng Er's wife and Cai Daxiong should all be converted into money and paid in full. If there is any problem in the future, you can't ask for the money later."

Aunt Cai: "Yes, that's what I mean."

The captain said: "I still need to discuss the specific amount of money with Qi Feifei to see if she agrees."

Aunt Cai got anxious when she heard this. "Captain, isn't it you who makes the decision? It's just a matter of your word. Why are you still discussing this with her?"

The captain said: "Your child spread rumors and caused trouble, snatched people's waist baskets, and intercepted people on the road. If these were reported to the police station, they would be arrested. How could a little girl from the city not understand?

It's not like you can decide how much to pay or how to handle it. You have to negotiate with her."

When Aunt Cai heard that they were going to the police station, she immediately became scared.

The police and officials in that era were definitely intimidating.

Aunt Cai: "Captain, you are the most prestigious among us. Whatever you say, everyone has to listen. We will listen to you in everything.

Da Yingzi calls you uncle, and we are real relatives. You can't just watch the children get into trouble. Da Xiong and Er Niu are still young and don't know much. You are the elder, so you have to help them. In the end, the children will remember your kindness."

The team leader said: "I am here to serve the people. I have to take care of two families. A little girl came here alone, and we cannot let her suffer because her parents are not here.

Besides, if I don't handle it well, they can still go to the commune or the county.

We still have to discuss it with her.

If you do something wrong, you should admit your mistake.

It's getting late, you should all go back first. Let's find Qi Feifei tomorrow and discuss it together."

Aunt Cai and her family came here full of confidence and high morale, but they were made nervous by the captain's words.
