Chapter 42: Hometown Follow-up
The car passed by Xiaodie's house and I subconsciously stopped.
I really wanted to walk over and knock on the door, but I didn't know what excuse to use. Just as a result of my entanglement, a phone ringing suddenly rang, interrupting my thoughts.
"Hello?"
I looked at the number and it was called by my second uncle.
As soon as I picked it up, I heard the second uncle say anxiously, "Xiao Fei, that...Boss Zhang and the others are here."
"kindness?"
I frowned and said coldly, "What do they want to do? Is the lesson I learned last time not enough? Second uncle, don't worry, as long as they dare to do whatever they want, I will go back and deal with them immediately."
"No, they didn't come here this time to have a fight."
The second uncle quickly explained.
"Oh? What's that for?"
I was a little confused.
The second uncle continued, "They came to apologize. Boss Zhang and his wife were carried, but they couldn't move. His father said he came over to apologize and was willing to get me 200,000, and wanted to ask you to let Boss Zhang and the others go."
"So that's how it is."
I knew it in my heart. It seemed that the old man could not stand the pain of his son and daughter-in-law, and he did not dare to break up with me. He knew that he had hit the iron plate this time, so he thought about coming over and pleading.
I pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Second, what did you say?"
"I didn't agree, just told them that they couldn't make the decision, so I came over and called you."
"Yeah, then what do you want to do?"
"I……"
The second uncle hesitated for a moment before tentatively saying, "Well, Xiao Fei, I know you want to vent my anger. But now, my health is getting better and you have also cleaned up their family. Old man Zhang is so old that he kneels down to apologize to me. His eyes are swollen when he cries. Look..."
"I see."
I shook my head and replied in a deep voice.
I felt helpless in my heart. My second uncle was still too soft-hearted and was so miserable that he had been hurt so badly. If I hadn't had this adventure, he would have been done for the rest of his life.
But while helpless, I was also happy for my second uncle.
Because he has not been blinded by hatred, kind people will always receive good rewards, no matter when.
After thinking for a while, I had a plan in my heart and continued, "Uncle II, please give me the phone number to Mr. Zhang's father."
"well."
Uncle Er responded and then walked out. After a while, Old Man Zhang's hoarse voice came from the phone, "Mr. Jie... I... I..."
"You don't have to say much, Uncle Second has told me just now."
I said in a deep voice, "Uncle II is soft-hearted and can't bear to see you suffer. I came over to plead with me, but as the saying goes, people are bullied. For the sake of my second uncle, I can let you go, but it won't be that simple."
"Yes, what are the conditions you say."
Old man Zhang said anxiously.
"During the time when my second uncle was sick, his family's wealth had been spent. With the money given by my father, he spent a total of more than 800,000 yuan. It's not enough for you to pay 200,000 yuan in compensation. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I know, just... but, Mr. Xiao Jie, please give me some time, I will definitely get it together."
“No need.”
I shook my head and continued, "I don't expect you to compensate them all. The crimes I suffered from my second uncle cannot be measured by money, and I am not short of money. To put it bluntly, I really don't like this little money."
"But I will let my second uncle accept your 200,000. For nothing else, just to teach you a lesson. I can't just say a few words and let you go. It's too easy."
"Yes...I am so sorry, I..."
Old Man Zhang didn't know what to say for a moment.
I was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, and then said, "Your son and daughter-in-law have only been suffering for a week now, so you can't stand it anymore. My second uncle and second aunt have been tortured for three months. Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about this. For the sake of the second uncle's plea, your son and daughter-in-law don't have to last six months. Let's do this, one month, if you count these seven days, there are still twenty-three days left. When the time comes, someone will come to help detoxify. So you'll be satisfied."
"this……"
Old man Zhang seemed a little hesitant.
"What? You are not satisfied with the six months?" My tone turned slightly cold.
"No, I, thank you Mr. Xiao Jie, thank you..."
Old man Zhang was startled and said quickly.
I nodded with satisfaction, paused slightly, and then said, "The matter of your grandson in your family is God's will. You should have such a disaster. It's not my second uncle. And I saw it when I went to your house that day. I'm afraid your son and daughter-in-law will never have any children in the future."
"I see."
Old Man Zhang's tone was a little bitter, "I have calculated it before, so it's impossible for everyone to have a future..."
His face was filled with heartache.
No matter what, Old Man Zhang was a disciple before, and this little thing can be calculated. It is precisely because he understood that he was facing the verge of death that he felt resentful and committed the murder of my second uncle.
"It's good that you can understand, but I have another word to tell you, the so-called great way is fifty, the heavens are forty-nine, and one of them is preserved. This is the glimmer of vitality left by the heavens. Do you understand?"
"ah?"
Hearing this sentence, Old Man Zhang's tone suddenly became excited, "You, what you mean is that there is still a way for me to save..."
"Yes, I have a way, maybe I can give it a try..."
"Oh my God, Mr. Xiao Jie, no, no, Master, Master, please save my son, I, my Zhang family is willing to give you all their property to repay you..."
"There is no need to give up all the family property. I don't want to have the little things in your house. Just like that. When I go back for the Chinese New Year, I will go and help your son see it."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, thank you Master."
Old Man Zhang thanked repeatedly.
You can imagine how excited he is now in his tone.
The thinking of rural people is actually quite simple. The most important thing is the continuation of the family. Old Man Zhang’s grandson died and his son could not have children again. It can be said that he had long been desperate.
Uncle Er was soft-hearted and couldn't stand his age. He came here to plead with mercy in person, but I understood how terrible a person would become if he had no hope.
I can solve the problem once, but what if something happens again, I don’t have time to arrive?
The so-called "enemies should be resolved rather than formed". Since the second uncle wants to resolve them, I will do it thoroughly for him to do it thoroughly and not immediately remove the poison of Boss Zhang and his wife. This is to let him remember this lesson and not offend us easily in the future.
And then that thought was left behind, which was to give him hope again.
This is the same as the rich people are more afraid of death.
