Chapter 254 The Control Group Quit Working (4)

Qiu Zhi stood up in a panic and tried to stop them while continuing to speak.

"Wait, let's solve this privately! Sister Cui, Brother Jiang, let's talk it out."

Cui Ai snorted, "Talk nicely? Didn't I talk nicely to you just now?"

"Qiuzhi, you stinky bitch, you're scared when you hear about reporting to the police? You're guilty as a thief! And you dare to deny it."

Cui Ai finally understood. If Qiu Zhi knew nothing and was just protecting her son, that would be fine. At least it proved that Qiu Zhi still had some good points.

But now it seems that Qiu Zhi obviously knows it.

This made Cui Ai even angrier. She had to save some food from time to time to help the mother and son.

Now it seems that all my good intentions have been wasted!

Jiang Sanyu looked at Qiu Zhi and felt a little bit reluctant, so he spoke to his wife.

"Otherwise..."

When Cui Ai saw Jiang Sanyu's expression, she knew that he had softened his heart. She was so angry that she grabbed Jiang Sanyu's arm and started yelling.

"What do you mean by 'count it?' Jiang Sanyu, I'm telling you, this matter isn't over yet!"

"If you dare to be soft-hearted and side with this bitch, I'll take Xiao Yi and move on!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sanyu became anxious and no longer cared about whether he was soft-hearted or not. He hurriedly followed Cui Ai, begging for mercy.

"Wife, please don't. I haven't said it yet. Besides, Xiaoyi is my child, and I feel bad for him.

Let’s go, let’s report to the police. We need to get an explanation for this matter, or we’ll be framed...”

Mo Ci followed the couple silently. Of the couple, Cui Ai had a stronger personality.

Jiang Sanyu is a soft-hearted person. As long as he sees the other party showing weakness, he will think of giving up.

Fortunately, Cui Ai is here.

As for the official today, whether to report it or not is secondary. Mo Ci does not care about the final result.

I just want to change the image of this orphan and widowed mother in the eyes of the villagers of Liushui Township.

These two people are not worthy of the help of the people of Liushui Township at all. Since Jiang Yi has such a wish, it would be better if he could complete it as soon as possible.

The important thing is that Jiang Yi never mentioned that he had been hit by Cui Ai, but if you think about it carefully, Mo Ci could also make up for it.

It was simply because Jiang Yi was hit like that and was not rescued in time, which led to fragmentary amnesia.

Or maybe the plot must make him forget this part, so that Du Shizhou can do bad things and remain safe and sound.

As for Jiang Yi, he had to rest for a long time because of the hit on his head.

He could have gotten a good ranking in the Tongshi exam, but in the end he only got a low ranking, but at least he passed the exam to become a Tongsheng.

This is the case when Jiang Yi is smart. If it were someone else, there would be no doubt about whether he would fail the exam or not.

With his head hit and so much blood lost, he's not sure if he can continue studying.

Therefore, the reason why Du Shizhou attacked Jiang Yi was that he couldn't stand the fact that Jiang Yi was better than him academically.

Tsk tsk tsk, this Du Shizhou is really so vicious at such a young age.

Keeping him here would probably be a disaster.

While pondering in her mind, Qiu Zhi on the other end saw that they did not stop and hurriedly continued to speak.

"I paid for Jiang Yi's medical treatment and bought him a chicken to nourish him. Sister Cui, please be kind. How can I go to the government office so easily?"

This...

Cui Ai paused. Giving money was secondary. The second half of the sentence was the key.

Don’t look at how heroic and confident Cui Ai looks now, but he is still afraid in his heart.

After all, they are ordinary people who have done nothing wrong and tremble at the sight of soldiers and officers.

If they were to go and see the official, they would be even more frightened, and Cui Ai was a little hesitant for a moment.

Qiu Zhi saw that her hesitation meant that what she gave was not enough.

Qiu Zhi despised this woman for her greed, but she had to raise the price.

"Fifty taels, another fifty taels as compensation, as an apology for Shi Zhou."

Qiu Zhi didn't really think much of fifty taels, but for these people, it was definitely too much. She didn't believe that these two would disagree.

As soon as these three words came out, everyone present widened their eyes in surprise.

Fifty taels! For them, one tael of silver was enough for a family of four to eat for half a year. These fifty taels...

But besides being surprised, they soon felt chilled.

The fact that Qiu Zhi could mention "fifty taels" of silver as compensation proved that she had more than fifty taels.

But since Qiuzhi came to Liushui Township, has she not received their help in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation?

Even when Qiu Zhi and her son first arrived, they were worried that they wouldn't have enough to eat, so they gave them some of their own rations.

Everyone was already hungry, and even if we gave the food to the mother and child, they still wouldn't be full, but at least they could feed two more people, right?

And this group has been around for several years.

But Qiuzhi never gave them any reward, it was just nice talk.

In the past, people thought that Qiu Zhi and the others had a hard time, and no one took it seriously. But now, Qiu Zhi’s words seemed to slap them in the face.

For a moment, everyone's faces looked a little ugly.

Qiu Zhi was still proud of the mere fifty taels, which opened the eyes of these peasants. Then she looked at Cui Ai and waited for Cui Ai's answer.

She didn't think Cui Ai would refuse, and of course, Cui Ai really didn't intend to refuse.

Fifty taels? Even in all these decades, their family had only saved less than five taels of silver. Now it was fifty taels. She couldn't bear to refuse it.

Besides, her husband Jiang Yi is a scholar and spends a lot of money. With these fifty taels, the family can feel a little more relaxed.

only... ...

Cui Ai's gaze fell on Mo Ci. Mo Ci looked up at Cui Ai and nodded.

"Mom, I will listen to you."

Cui Ai looked at her husband again, and seeing that he had not yet come to his senses, she was speechless for a moment, so she simply spoke herself.

"Alright, I'll take fifty taels. Also, make that little bastard Du Shizhou apologize to my Xiaoyi!"

Du Shizhou still had a face full of hatred at this time, and if Qiu Zhi hadn't pulled him back, he would have even run over and bit someone.

Qiu Zhi's face was not very good at this time. She originally wanted to get rid of this matter by showing weakness.

But who would have thought that Jiang Yi was so smart and would think of reporting to the police.

The reason why Qiu Zhi brought Du Shizhou here was to hide from people.

If they really went to see the official, they would be in a passive position. At least before she received the news, they must not alert the enemy.

But Qiu Zhi was unwilling to ask the young master and a peasant child to apologize.

Just weighing the pros and cons, I can only inconvenience the young master for now, Qiu Zhi pushed Du Shizhou and said as she bent down.

"Shizhou, you have to apologize if you do something wrong, okay? Come, apologize to Jiang Yi."

While speaking, Qiu Zhi also winked at Du Shizhou.

Although Du Shizhou was only ten years old, he knew his identity very well, and even knew the specific reason why he stayed in Liushui Township.

Similarly, even when these people were helping him, he felt it was their right and hated their expressions of pity and sympathy.

Now, the person he hates most is Jiang Yi.

They were obviously the same age, studied in the same private school, and were taught by the same teacher.

But Jiang Yi is smarter than him, and Qiu Zhi always asks him to work hard and not let a peasant get away with it.

So when he learned that the teacher had eliminated Jiang Yi from the examination, he was extremely jealous.

He became even more daring and asked the man to meet him at the foot of a mountain where almost no one went, and knocked him unconscious.

He thought Jiang Yi would die, but he didn't expect that he would be so lucky.

Thinking of this, Du Shizhou became more and more angry and simply pushed Qiu Zhi away.

"I don't want an apology. He deserves it! He deserves to die!"

He ran out while shouting. Qiu Zhi was pushed to the ground and had no time to chase him.

"Help me catch him, he's just a kid..."

Qiuzhi couldn't help but shout, but none of the onlookers moved, and the looks they gave Qiuzhi were very strange.

In desperation, Qiu Zhi had to chase after him by herself, but she was stopped by Cui Ai just after she took a step.

"Wait, it's not over yet."

In a hurry, Qiu Zhi had to rummage in her pocket and took out a silver note worth one hundred taels and slapped it into Cui Ai's hand.

"One hundred taels, that's enough!"
