Chapter 226: Chapter 227 Compensation for Losses

Several men with the Li surname suddenly panicked, and upon hearing that their wives and children had become someone else’s possession, they were both angry and frantic, and unanimously pointed out the mastermind.

“It was him who told us to do this, we just originally planned on stealing a few fish from your village, but it was Shengzi who said that Captain Xu’s family was wealthy.

He said that your daughter had clung to the thighs of a factory boss from the county, not knowing how much money she’d stuffed into her purse, and also said that you didn’t care about our life or death, clearly having so much money yet still arguing with us over a few fish, not letting us live a good life.

So our minds were clouded by greed, and we thought to set fire to your house, ensuring you wouldn’t receive a single penny.”

The bachelor known as Shengzi, seeing everyone pointing at him, also panicked, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground, kowtowing loudly to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu was scared stiff, quickly bouncing to the side. Getting knelt to during the New Year, by someone unrelated, wasn’t that just tempting fate.

“You better stand up quickly. We can settle for a peaceful meal together, but you’ll have to compensate for our family’s financial loss!

But as for you, the mastermind, we won’t let you off. The rest of you will rebuild our house, and after compensating the US$ 500 inside, we’ll let bygones be bygones.”

Rebuilding the house, and US$ 500 on top of that, they didn’t have work, just relied on odd jobs; how could they have so much money?

This is practically driving people to death.

And constructing a house also requires a good amount of money.

Several big men suddenly started wailing, “Aunt, we don’t have that much money!”

“No money? Then go discuss it in prison.” Truly, they thought she was easy to talk to. They had burnt down her house, and if they dared to do it, they had to dare to take responsibility.

If there were no losses, and she easily forgave these people, after arson, they might well commit murder next time.

Had it not been for consideration of the neighboring village, also being instigated by others, she didn’t want to just let the matter slide.

Originally harboring a glimmer of hope, the men thought that acting pitiful might resolve the situation, but upon hearing about jail, they became desperate, “Don’t, aunt, we’ll pay the money, even if we have to borrow, we’ll pay.”

“Not paying is fine too, we can turn this over to the police for handling. Xu Laoer, go to these people’s homes to get the money to settle this matter.”

Upon hearing his mother’s words, Xu Laoer quickly ran towards Li Jia Village.

Before long, he had brought several people back home, all from Li Jia Village, led by the Li Jia Village Captain.

Li Jia Village Captain’s face was flushed with anger, infuriated by these few individuals, it seemed he was about risk losing face completely.

Seeing the people from Li Jia Village on the ground, he kicked the youngest one hard, “So you don’t want a family, committing such acts.

I think it’s best to send you to prison for some serious reflection.”

As soon as Li Jia Village Captain said this, the faces of the younger ones kneeling on the ground changed drastically, crying, they ran to Li Jia Village Captain, pleading, “Captain, we know we were wrong, please spare us.

We have old and young to look after, Captain, we can’t go to prison.”

Seeing that it was about enough, Li Jia Village Captain, with a guilty expression, looked at Mrs. Xu, “Sister-in-law, look, they’ve also realized their mistake, let’s do as you said. We’ll rebuild your house and compensate for the losses.

But sister-in-law, you also know, we’re just country folks from the village, we don’t have that much money at home. How about I have them write an IOU, and when the money is gathered they can repay you.”

Mrs. Xu heard this and was displeased. If they just wrote an IOU and kept on delaying, what was she to do then?

Eldest Sister-in-law Xu offered a suggestion from the side, “Mom, I think we should let their family come work for us and you can directly take their wages.”

Mrs. Xu’s eyes lit up, that could work. But the characters of these people weren’t all that great, so just make them do the most tiring jobs, the ones without any need for skills.

Having made up her mind, Mrs. Xu said with a smile, “Since Captain Li has already spoken, I can’t refuse to give Captain Li face. Let’s sign an IOU. If they can’t pay back the money, they can work off their debt here. Once it’s paid, they’re free to go.”

Captain Li immediately agreed upon hearing this. Who didn’t know about Xujia Village’s hiring practices by now? But they were just so strict. It was indeed lucky for these people to even get this opportunity.

What Captain Li probably couldn’t guess was that Mrs. Xu was a real skinflint and one who held grudges too. Once these people got inside, they would truly understand what it meant to cross a woman.

Xu Ying and Third Uncle Xu managed to pull in a few big orders on the train and finally made it back three days before the New Year.

As soon as they arrived at Yu County Station, the New Year atmosphere overwhelmed them, with couplets plastered at the station and red lanterns hanging everywhere.

Along the way, every household had couplets pasted all over, and the front of the doors was bathed in a red glow.

Xu Ying and Third Uncle Xu first made a trip back to the factory. The workers in the food and textile factories were especially busy this year, not even stopping for New Year’s.

However, the wages were genuinely high, and of course, those who wanted to go home for New Year’s could take time off to rest.

But the majority wanted the high wages, considering a day’s pay was worth several ordinary days.

Hardly anyone was resting.

Nevertheless, the heads of both the food and textile factories were considerate of their workers, allowing them to take turns resting.

Xu Ying and Third Uncle Xu had not yet returned to the factory, pondering which one to visit first, when the factory head personally came to receive them.

Mr. Sun and Mr. Niu arrived almost at the same time, and upon seeing Xu Ying and Third Uncle Xu, they behaved as if they’d found treasures, all smiles with their mouths unable to close. “Hey, Xiao Xu, Old Xu, pooh, Xu JianShe, you’ve come back.” Mr. Sun’s face was all smiles, without a hint of embarrassment.

Mr. Niu’s mouth twitched. That old guy was as shameless as ever, so naturally, Old Niu couldn’t fall behind. “Xiao Xu, Xu JianShe, the factory has prepared New Year’s benefits for you, as well as your recent wages. Why don’t you head back and pick them up?

I’ve also got some things I want to discuss with you both.” How exactly did they land those foreign orders?

Mr. Sun hadn’t expected Old Niu to catch him off guard and immediately became anxious, quickly interrupting, “Old Niu, that’s not playing fair. Everything should be done in order. Xiao Xu is working in our factory.

Naturally, he should go to our factory first to get his things. Xiao Xu, Xu JianShe, everything is ready for you, let’s go back and pick it up.”

Xu Ying and Third Uncle Xu looked perplexed, as if their tails were about to wag up to the sky, just showing off foolishly.

“Mr. Sun, Mr. Niu, this is a bit difficult for me. I want to go to both your places, but I can’t split myself in two,” Xu Ying said with a troubled expression on his face.

Mr. Sun tilted his head back, “You should come to mine first. You started working there first, so it’s only right to respect the order.”

Mr. Niu was not happy about this, eager for gossip, “No, I have something to discuss with Xiao Xu.”

“I have things to say, too!” Old Sun chimed in.

“Stop, what things? Why don’t we talk about it here!” Xu Ying said, blinking.

Mr. Niu glared at Mr. Sun and then turned to Xu Ying with a smile on his face, “Xiao Xu, how did you manage to win the contracts from the foreigners?”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Sun immediately perked up his ears, as that was exactly the question he wanted to ask too.
