As expected, Li's father couldn't hold back any longer.

"Zhang Guiying, you're extorting money!" He pulled Li Yaozong over. "If you beat my son like Zhao Xueyi, then our two families will be even, okay?"

Li Yaozong, "..."

Now it's Li Yaozong's turn to doubt whether he's his biological son.

Zhang Guiying rambled on, "My family are all civilized people. Do you think we're all as barbaric as you? Besides, can your son compare to my son?"

"My son is a broadcaster at the bus station. He has a high salary and good benefits. He's injured and can't work for a few days. Do you know how much his salary and bonuses will be deducted? Do you know how much of an impact this will have on the bus station?!"

Zhao Xueyi proudly puffed out his chest.

Zhang Guiying angrily told the two police officers, "They actually accused me of extortion! Officers, I think we should stop mediating. I don't want the 100 yuan. I'm just trying to save face. You should just arrest and detain me."

The police officers quickly calmed her down.

After Zhang Guiying calmed down, she came to persuade Li Gui again, "100 yuan sounds like a lot, but reputation can't be bought with money. You should weigh it yourself."

Mr. Li was so angry he could barely stand.

After some intense bargaining, the final compensation was set at 80 yuan.

Although 80 yuan is not a small amount, it becomes much more acceptable when compared to 100 yuan.

Mr. Li gritted his teeth and told Wu Ximei to go inside and get 80 yuan.

After receiving the money, Zhang Guiying's expression immediately brightened, and in the presence of the police officers, both parties signed a settlement agreement.

The police officer breathed a sigh of relief.

Before they could even catch their breath, Zhang Guiying said again, "Officer, the matter of the Li family beating my son has been resolved. Now let's settle the matter of the money the Li family owes my family."

Mr. Li immediately became wary, "My family really doesn't have the money to pay back right now. I've already said that I'll pay back part of it after the autumn harvest when we sell the corn, but you still disagree... Zhang Guiying, are you really going to drive our whole family to our deaths?!"

Zhang Guiying ignored her and pointed to the yard, saying, "Police officers, look around, how many households in Lijia Village live in brick houses? Li Gui built this house five years ago."

"Look at the livestock in his yard. There are pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. If a family has no money, who can afford to raise so many livestock? He's obviously trying to renege on his debt."

"It's not easy for us to travel from the city to the countryside. The whole family took time off work to come. We can't afford to drag this out for so long. If the Li family doesn't pay back the money today, we'll have no choice but to take their belongings as payment."

Mr. Li roared, "How dare you!"

Zhang Guiying immediately complained, "Police officers, look, you're still here, and Li Gui dares to threaten my whole family! Next time you're not here, we'll have even less chance of getting our money back!"

As she spoke, she cried and pulled Chen Baozhu and Zhang Xia out to take the blame, saying, "Over the years, I've been taking care of my daughter's children, and both of my daughters-in-law hate me to death."

"My two daughters-in-law gave me a death sentence when I came to the countryside to ask for money. They said if I didn't get the money, my husband and I wouldn't go back. Officer, if we don't get the money, this old woman will be the one who dies!"

Zhang Guiying's weeping brought tears to the eyes of all who heard it and saddened all who saw it.

Pitiful!

So pitiful.

The police urged Li Gui to repay the money as soon as possible.

Li Gui insisted that his family had no money.

The police officer immediately became enraged, "Is it reasonable for you not to return a single penny?!"

"Officers, please stop talking. Their family treats money like their own father. Asking them for money is like asking for their lives. They definitely won't give it to you."

Zhang Guiying glanced around the yard. "The Li family owes us a total of 2166 yuan. Their cow looks to be about 700 or 800 jin (350-400 kg). According to the market price, this cow is worth 1000 yuan."

"The old sow in the pigsty looks like it weighs three or four hundred jin, so I'll charge her 200 yuan. Two sheep will cost 150 yuan, and there are ten chickens, ducks, and geese in total, so I'll charge her 100 yuan. All these livestock will cost a total of 1450 yuan."

"I'll settle the remaining 716 yuan with grain. Grain prices have risen a lot this year, with wheat costing 5 cents a pound. I'll take 1432 pounds of wheat, and that'll settle the debt."

"Officers, please be witnesses for us. Don't come back and say we robbed their property."

The police, wanting to intimidate Li Gui, agreed on the spot.

With a wave of her hand, Zhang Guiying immediately arranged for Zhao Binghe to go to the pigsty to catch pigs, Zhao Xueyi to go to the cattle pen to fetch cattle, and Zhao Xiazhi and Zhao Qiuzhi to take two sheep and catch chickens, ducks and geese from the pen, respectively.

Ignoring Wu Ximei's attempts to stop her, Zhang Guiying kicked open the door to the grain storage room.

house.

The grain in the three granaries was piled high.

Zhang Guiying shouted angrily, "Good heavens! Police officers, come quick! The three granaries are overflowing, with at least three thousand catties of grain! Li Gui still has the nerve to say he has no money!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers...

They all rushed into the house where the grain was stored.

They were stunned to see the granaries piled high with grain.

At this time, the police officers still had a strong sense of justice. Seeing the situation, they immediately frowned and said to Zhang Guiying, "Find bags to put the grain in, and we will be your witnesses."

"Thank you, officers."

Zhang Guiying rummaged through the granary for a long time and found a large pile of bundled urea bags. She moved a tall stool, opened the lids, and began stuffing wheat into the bags.

The livestock in the yard kept bellowing.

Wu Ximei was so angry that she sat down on the ground, slapped her thigh and cried out, "God, my family can't live like this! Zhang Guiying, please stop!"

Li's father tried to stop the people, but was stopped by two police officers.

Mr. Li's heart was breaking. "Stop! All of you, stop! I'll pay you back! I'll pay you back, okay?!"

"I knew you were rich!"

Zhang Guiying didn't want to bring grain to the city either, it was too much trouble, so she scolded, "What are you standing there for? Go get the money!"

"..."

With red eyes, Li's father went to the next room.

In less than two minutes, he came out with a thick wad of ten-yuan bills. "Here is 500 yuan, which is all our family's savings... I'll pay you back this first, and I'll pay the rest later."

Zhang Guiying jumped off the stool, took the money, counted it to make sure it was 500, and immediately put it in her pocket. After putting the money away, she jumped back onto the stool to continue filling the grain container.

Mr. Li was furious. "I already said the rest would be given to us later. Why are you still storing my family's grain?"

"Give it to me later? Do you even believe that yourself? What can you do with 500 yuan? Even if I take away that 500, I still need to buy 432 jin of your family's grain to pay off the debt."

Zhang Guiying continued packing the grain, working hard.

Mr. Li turned to the two police officers for help, but they pretended not to see him.

Mr. Li broke down, "Wait a minute."

He went next door and came back with another wad of cash in his hand.

This time the money was a bit thicker than before. In addition to the "Great Unity" denomination, there were also five-yuan notes, two-yuan notes, and even one-yuan notes.

Mr. Li walked with faltering steps, as if all his energy had been drained away. "This is truly all the savings my family has. Take it all."

Zhang Guiying cursed under her breath.

She knew that Li Gui, that cunning old man, had something up his sleeve.

Zhang Guiying counted the money again. The stack of cash totaled 612 yuan. Adding the 500 yuan from before, it made a total of 1112. "That's still not enough! We're still short 1054 yuan!"
