Village live broadcast: Reject sky-high betrothal gifts at the beginning

Chapter 108 Human Causes
"Then how can it work? You didn't release those beasts, so how can you make you lose money?"

Shen Tao immediately refused.

"Yes, Da Liu, you don't have to blame yourself too much, you don't need to pay for the money."

"Anyway, it's just a few chickens and ducks. It's not a big deal, so don't worry about it."

Although the villagers are all superstitious about mountain ghosts, even so, they have no intention of blaming Liu Zhe.

The main reason is that Liu Zhe has done a lot of good things for the village during this period. He also contributed to the village's road construction alone, and led the villagers to work so that everyone earned a lot of money.

The villagers are now grateful to Liu Zhe from the bottom of their hearts, and naturally they don't have any intention of blaming him.

The village head and his son wanted to take advantage of this incident to punish Liu Zhe severely, but they didn't expect that everyone would be so tolerant towards Liu Zhe.

Not only did he not blame him at all, he even refused to let Liu Zhe pay for the poultry that died at home.

Seeing that Liu Zhe was so loved by the villagers, Qin Fugui felt inexplicably angry.

Even a dignified village head doesn't have this kind of treatment. How can this kid be able to do it?

"I said, don't be embarrassed, everyone. The fact that the beast went down the mountain this time was originally the fault of Big Liu. It is reasonable to ask him to lose money. Why are you being so kind to him?"

Qin Haizhu couldn't help being angry, and was annoyed for no reason when he saw that everyone had no intention of pursuing responsibility.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, it's just a few chicken cubs, and they will die if they die."

"That's right, the National People's Congress Liu brought us so much money during this period, and now we have to ask him to pay for the death of a few chickens in our family? We don't do such ungrateful things!"

No matter what Qin Haizhu said, the villagers always turned to Liu Zhe.

Hearing these voices of support for Liu Zhe, Qin Fugui and his son turned pale with anger.

But it was their own loss after all, and the villagers themselves didn't mind, and the father and son didn't have much to say.

"Surnamed Liu, you are so capable. All these things happened because you went to the mountains to collect herbs, and everyone is still so tolerant to you."

Qin Haizhu squinted his eyes slightly, and said to Liu Zhe with a displeased face.

Liu Zhe recognized the sarcasm in these words, and proudly said: "The reason everyone tolerates me is because I regard them as friends. If your family can do something for the village, I believe the villagers will love you too!"

The more proud he was, the more livid the faces of the village chief and his son became.

"Don't be so complacent, kid. It's their business not to ask you to pay for other people's losses. I don't care about it, but our family also has losses. Don't rely on this compensation!"

Qin Haizhu sneered.

"You're talking nonsense. Your family doesn't raise any poultry or livestock. Where's the loss?"

Knowing that the village chief and his son wanted to blackmail Liu Zhe, Shen Tao immediately retorted angrily.

"Our family does not raise poultry, but my son was scratched by a fox that came down the mountain just now. Isn't this a loss?"

Qin Haifu gave Qin Haizhu a look as he spoke.

Qin Haizhu immediately understood what his father meant, and raised his arm to reveal a wound: "This is where I was scratched by a fox. Why don't you pay me for medical expenses?"

Liu Zhe glanced at Qin Haizhu's arm. The wound was in a flat shape. It was not scratched by an animal's claw at all, but it seemed to be scratched somewhere.

"Open your eyes and talk nonsense, how do you look like you were scratched by a fox? Who knows how you did it!"

Shen Tao said disdainfully.

"What the hell, labor and management didn't talk to you, why are you meddling in so much business?"

Qin Haizhu was upset, pointing at Shen Tao and yelling.

Shen Tao retorted: "I just can't understand you guys making excuses to touch porcelain, can't you just tell the truth?"

Seeing that the two sides were still arguing, Liu Zhe interrupted Shen Tao by raising his hand.

"Forget it Xiaotao, he wants money, I'll just pay him!"

"No way, Da Liu, their father and son are clearly friends!" Shen Tao didn't understand why Liu Zhe insisted on losing money.

In fact, Liu Zhe knew that the village chief and his son were touching porcelain without him saying it.

But who made the current situation unfavorable to him, before the investigation of the beast descending the mountain incident, the public opinion is now on Liu Zhe.

If the village head and his son insisted on using this as an excuse, Liu Zhe would have no advantage at all.

Instead of that, it's better to lose the money.

However, Liu Zhe will not take this loss for nothing. If he finds out the truth afterwards, he will definitely get back the debt of the truth.

"You're a smart kid, and since you're so savvy, just pay 5000 yuan and forget it."

Seeing that Liu Zhe agreed to pay compensation, Qin Haizhu proudly reported a number.

"Damn, why don't you grab it? You want five thousand for such a small hole?" Shen Tao roared.

"What's wrong with Wuqian, I was scratched by a fox, who knows if those beasts on the mountain have viruses or bacteria, I have to go to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup?" Qin Haizhu said in a snarl.

"you……"

"Okay, five thousand is five thousand!"

Shen Tao wanted to say something more, but Liu Zhe immediately responded.

After all, he took out five thousand cash and threw it to Qin Haizhu.

"I'll pay you for the damage, but you'd better not let me find out that this matter is related to you, otherwise, the price will not be as simple as refunding the money."

Liu Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the village head and his son's eyes obviously flashed a faint coldness.

Of course, this was just a momentary change in eyes. Liu Zhe didn't notice that the village chief and his son turned around and left after getting the money.

"Da Liu, why do you want to pay Qin Haizhu money? It's not obvious that you're being cheated."

"It's really impulsive. Qin Haizhu's wound wasn't scratched by a fox at all, so he shouldn't be clinging to him!"

After the village chief and his son left, the villagers helped Liu Zhe pack up their grievances one after another.

In fact, the 5000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket for Liu Zhe now.

He is not bad at all, and it doesn't matter if he loses, just use it to stop the mouth of the village chief and his son.

"It's okay, it's just a small amount of money, and it's useless to let their father and son take advantage of it."

Liu Zhe waved his hand with a look of indifference.

Everyone also knew that Liu Zhe was a man who was not short of money, so he didn't say anything more.

"Then what are you going to do now, can we continue to collect herbs?" Shen Tao asked.

"Let's stop the work of collecting herbs for now, and wait until I go up the mountain to find out the matter first." Liu Zhe said.

"What, you want to go up the mountain?"

"No, no, I don't think you should go to the mountains."

"The mountain god is angry, why go up the mountain? It's too dangerous!"

As soon as they heard that Liu Zhe was going to investigate on the mountain, Shen Tao and others objected one after another.

Everyone still believes in ghosts and gods, but Liu Zhe doesn't think so.

Not only did he not think it was a ghost, but he even felt that it was very likely that it was done by humans.

The villagers of Xiangyang Village have lived here for generations, and there have been no wild animals down the mountain for hundreds of years. How could wild animals go down the mountain for no reason.

Liu Zhe thinks that eight out of ten are human-made reasons, and when it comes to human-made reasons, Liu Zhe's first suspicion is the village chief and his son!
