Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!

Chapter 98 Losing money

“Haha, that’s really funny. Why should we help you? You admitted that your family is lacking. As parents yourselves, you are not independent nor reliable. Instead, you became an excuse for your children to covet other people’s food.”

Ma Yan was disturbed by Yun Xi’s words as it was all true. However, she was still unwilling to give up. “No matter what, our families are related by blood and we live under the same roof. Even if the child really did something wrong, we can always handle it internally. There’s no need to make this matter a big deal like this. It’s obvious that Yun Zhu will not be able to raise his head in the future. How could all of you be so vicious!”

Ma Yan was determined to protect her child.

“That’s right, that’s right.” With Ma Yan backing him up, Yun Zhu also mustered up his courage and agreed with his mother.

Liu Fang was deeply displeased by her words.

“So what if we are relatives? Yun Zhu committed theft, and we can’t do anything to change that fact. You both failed to educate Yun Zhu properly. Humans should never covet other people’s things, and stealing is immoral.”

Yun Xi was deeply amused by Liu Fang’s words. Such hypocrisy.

“Village chief, I don’t care. Their family must compensate us today.” Liu Fang wanted the compensation, so she was adamant about it.

Seeing that Ma Yan was not willing to compensate them, superimposed with the fact that Yun Lin seemed to have nothing to say,Liu Fang turned to the village chief.

“Yun Lin, as the head of the family, what do you think of this matter?” The village chief asked for Yun Lin’s opinion instead.

Yun Lin sighed. This matter was indeed Yun Zhu’s fault, and there was nothing he could do to change the fact. Although he was the head of the family, he was actually controlled by Ma Yan. After all, his children could not do without a mother. It was because of that single fact that Yun Lin tolerated all of Ma Yan’s nonsense.

“Let the village chief decide.”

Yun Lin only said one sentence in the end. Ma Yan was so angry that she rolled her eyes. ‘What a useless man!’ She thought.

“Since Yun Lin said so, I will be a middleman and compensate you according to the price of the things that Yun Zhu stole.”

The village chief was obviously very satisfied with Yun Lin’s answer. He looked at Yun Xi and Liu Fang. “Do you two have any opinions? If not, we will settle it this way.”

“No problem.”

The people from the Yun Gang and Yun Shan’s family said in unison.

“That’s good, then.” The village chief picked up the pen on the table and began to calculate Yun Zhu’s bill.

“Yun Zhu stole a total of three Youtiao from Yun Gang’s family. According to the market price, it is 60 cents per Youtiao. Yun Lin’s family will compensate 1.8 Yuan. There’s no problem, right?”

“No, this is not fair. Although Yun Zhu took three Youtiao from Yun Gang’s family, he did not eat any of them. Now, the Youtiao is still in their hands. It’s not fair for us to pay this amount of money.”

Ma Yan was extremely dissatisfied.

“Ma Yan said that the Youtiao is still with Yun Gang’s family. Is this the case?”

The village chief took a look at the Youtiao in Liu Fang’s arms and got a rough idea of the situation.

Liu Fang cursed in her heart and hated to admit it, but she could only speak the truth.

“Indeed.” Liu Fang paused and added, “But Yun Zhu threw our family’s Youtiao to the ground, and it became inedible. Shouldn’t there be a compensation for this?”

“I see. Then this compensation fee will be calculated according to the price of one Youtiao.” The village chief decided on the compensation amount right away. He was already tired of the two women’s quarrel.

Liu Fang thought that 60 cents were still better than none at all. If she argued further, then there might not even be compensation. 60 cents was not as bad. After all, these fried dough sticks could still be eaten.

Ma Yan was visibly upset and unwilling. Yun Lin threw her a glare, indicating that this should be the final settlement. They could still afford 60 cents.

“Then let’s continue to calculate the accounts between the Yun Lin and Yun Shan’s family.”

The village chief quickly changed the topic to Yun Shan’s family.
