Li Erniu and Wu Biao’s women were both bought from outside, call the police? Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble for themselves?
"Village Chief, we really can’t call the police,"
The two looked at Wu Laohu with fear in their eyes.
The faces of the other villagers were also looking bleak.
"Little Shan, where are you taking this? We’re all from the same village, it’s inevitable to have conflicts when living in the same village, so calling the police is unnecessary,"
A group of villagers had already started to mediate on the side.
No one wanted to summon the police to the village, which was full of unsavory incidents.
Especially for Village Chief Wu, Wu Damming.
His power in the village came from the fact that it was far from the emperor and beyond his reach. If the police came, who would listen to him afterward? Besides, with so many things in the village that couldn’t stand the light of day, once exposed, he, as Village Chief, would inevitably be held accountable, and he might even end up being the one who receives the heaviest sentence.
"No way, the trouble today can only be downplayed, we definitely can’t bring in the police. As for that little bastard Zhang Xiaoshan, I’ve got ways to deal with him later, I’ll make sure he dies by my hand without even knowing what hit him."
After mulling it over, Wu Damming made up his mind.
He definitely had to show Zhang Xiaoshan who was boss, but not today. He would find an opportunity later to deal with Zhang Xiaoshan quietly and unnoticeably.
"Alright, Little Shan, we don’t need to call the police for today’s incident. Give Li Erniu and Wu Biao some compensation for their medical expenses, and let’s call it even,"
Wu Damming finally spoke up and set the tone.
Wu Damming felt he had made a concession, thinking Zhang Xiaoshan should know when to stop. But in reality, he was overthinking it.
Zhang Xiaoshan said angrily.
"Shouldn’t I have beaten these two bastards?"
"They asked for this, why should I compensate them?"
"Many people in the village have been bullied by these two before, how come I haven’t seen them compensate others?"
"Village Chief, you’re not taking Wu Biao’s side just because he’s your relative, are you?" Zhang Xiaoshan joked with a laugh, but his tone was laced with a sharp edge.
Wu Damming was cornered and at a loss for words.
"Right, Doctor Zhang was being a Good Samaritan, why should he pay? I think we should call the police and have them investigate the village properly,"
Before Wu Damming could speak, Xu Jing stood up, emotionally shouting her point.
"Shut your mouth, you wretch."
Hearing Xu Jing shouting about the police investigating other issues in the village, some of the men wouldn’t have it.
Wu Biao and Li Erniu were even more panicked. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
The two looked at Wu Damming with pleading eyes.
Wu Damming was also in a difficult position at this point.
After some thought, he said to Xu Jing with a smile,
"Mr. Xu, don’t be agitated, it’s all the fault of these idiots coming here to cause trouble, getting beaten is what they deserve. So, let’s just forget about today’s events, they got hit, and you’ve vented out, let’s drop it."
"Village Chief Wu, the women in the village..."
Xu Jing was persistent, still wanting to call the police, when Zhang Xiaoshan interrupted her,
"Mr. Xu, I think what the Village Chief said is right, let’s just let it go. After all, I did break their bones. If the police come, I might be charged with assault..."
Hearing what Zhang Xiaoshan said, Xu Jing hesitated.
Yes, Zhang Xiaoshan had indeed been heavy-handed, and if they really argued, he could get into trouble, too.
Seeing Xu Jing fall silent, Wu Damming breathed a sigh of relief and with a wave of his hand said,
"Alright, today’s matter ends here, everyone go home."
"Clan Leader, this woman is a calamity, you can’t keep her, and after you throw her out, don’t forget I should not be beaten for nothing."
Just as the situation seemed to be calming down, Wu Biao became discontent.
