Chapter 188: Chapter 188 An Jing, You’re So Amazing_1 Chapter 188: Chapter 188 An Jing, You’re So Amazing_1 Wu Dashan and Wu Xiaoshan, having each been beaten with ten heavy blows, received absolutely no dical treatnt in jail for the past few days. Consequently, their wounds beco sowhat gangrenous. With no money to see a doctor, Aunt Liu Hua in desperation could only kneel before the doctor, begging for rcy to treat her two sons first and promising that her family would definitely repay the debt in the future.
The doctor agreed to provide treatnt, while Madam Liuhua’s house also accrued a significant amount of external debt, leading to a particularly desolate ho situation.
Yet, the villagers of Jiuping Village felt no sympathy for Madam Liuhua’s family, regarding their plight as deserved.
If only they had agreed to pay the money in the beginning as compensation, wouldn’t that have been better? Now, they had not only paid the money but had also suffered a beating, and on top of that, incurred heavy debts.
Even though Aunt Liu Hua had a good reputation, because she owed money to most of the villagers, her family’s status within the village plumted dreadfully low.
The news of An Fu’s action of reporting to the governnt spread to the surrounding villages, and within ten miles, no villager had ever dared to involve the authorities. An Fu was the first to boldly take such a step, surprising everyone since he was always considered easy to bully.
From that mont on, nobody dared to look down on An Fu again.
And as An Fu was from An Village, the ergence of such a resilient figure ant that no one dared to underestimate An Village any longer, discarding the notion that its people were easy to bully.
When An Fu received the three taels of silver from the Governnt Official, he cried. He hadn’t cried when he had injured his leg, but this ti, An Fu wept.
Shi Xiaolan and Yun Da also cried.
An Hegui’s eyes turned red as if he were about to cry. It was money that Shi Dashan and the others had paid as compensation. It was the first ti they had stood up so firmly.
…
An Fu had sustained a head injury, and the doctor advised that he should not exert himself for so ti. Therefore, An Hegui and the others dared not let An Fu continue making tofu. As for the tofu-making, An Hegui called on his two younger brothers’ families to help with the work.
On this day, Shi Xiaolan ca again to deliver tofu to An Jing, but this ti, she was not accompanied by An Fu, but by An Yijin and An Eryin.
After delivering the tofu, An Yijin and An Eryin left imdiately, while Shi Xiaolan stayed in the thatched cottage to talk with An Jing.
An Jing hesitated for a mont, but still asked, “Xiao Lan, do you hold any resentnt against us? If we hadn’t involved your family in making tofu, Brother An Fu wouldn’t have encountered this misfortune.” An Fu was still recuperating.
Shi Xiaolan beca imdiately agitated, “An Jing, why would you say sothing like that? You had good intentions in suggesting we make tofu. We are so grateful to you that we could never bla you. Please never speak of such things again. We are not ungrateful people. Besides, we truly should thank you. Thank you for encouraging us to take legal action. Do you know, the way those who once bullied us look at us has completely changed now? They no longer dare to bully us as they did before. All thanks to you.”
In this place, “without the people’s complaint, the governnt will not investigate,” but as long as one dares to report to the authorities, they are sure to investigate thoroughly.
It’s just that everyone has always been sowhat fearful of the governnt, considering it high and mighty, and nobody dared to report.
Seeing that Shi Xiaolan truly bore no grudge against them, An Jing smiled and said, “It’s good that you don’t bla us. As for reporting to the authorities, I rely made a suggestion. It was your own decision to take action. Don’t credit all this to ; I dare not accept such responsibility.”
“An Jing, you’ve beco so capable. The way you are now, it’s wonderful,” Shi Xiaolan suddenly expressed her admiration, giving a thumbs-up to An Jing.
An Jing just smiled.
