Chapter 29 Compensation
The head of the village cleared his throat. He really didn't want to get involved in this mess, but he couldn't ignore it. Shen Lianxin was unforgiving, and he couldn't continue to smooth things over. "Two taels of silver is too much, and Widow Yang can't afford it. The village doctor in our village can't charge so much for seeing a doctor. 2 coins for a few prescriptions is enough. Let her compensate you 200 coins."
Shen Lianxin said the two taels of silver casually because she was dissatisfied with the village head's decision. She didn't expect Widow Yang to pay it. "The village head is fair. 2 coins is 200 coins."
Seeing Shen Lianxin agreed, the head of the village looked a little relieved and looked at Widow Yang. Widow Yang grinned, "Head of the village, medical expenses don't cost 200 coins. I'm a widow raising two children, how can I afford 200 coins? You have to be fair."
When the head of the village heard this, his face darkened. This was the second time today that he was questioned about his fairness. Didn't he care about his reputation as a head of the village? Shen Lianxin questioned him. It was true that he wanted to smooth things over. But his decision this time was also made considering the difficult life of widow Yang. He came up with the 200 coins, and was questioned about his fairness. The head of the village was also angry.
"You were the one who started the fight and then beat people up. You deserved to be beaten up. You even dared to question the head of the village. You must pay 200 coins, not a cent less, to the Shen family immediately. Otherwise, you must move out of Yunshan Village."
When Widow Yang heard this, she sat down on the ground and said, "I don't have so much money at home. How can I compensate her?" Widow Yang began to cry.
"If you don't have money, you can use food as payment."
Food is life. Widow Yang felt regretful, but she didn't dare to contradict the head of the village. She winked at Yang Dali, who went home to get food. Soon he came back with a bag of rice and knelt on the ground, "Grandpa head of the village, this is all the food in the house."
Shen Lianxin opened the bag and saw that it was all brown rice, not worth much, and there were only about 10 jin, so 50 wen was good. The head of the village looked at Shen Lianxin, and the meaning was obvious. It was not easy for the villagers to make a living, so let them go. But the head of the village said 200 wen, and it was impossible for him to go back on his word.
Shen Lianxin nodded, and the head of the village also breathed a sigh of relief. They were from the same village, so it was impossible for someone to force him to death. "You must learn a lesson from this incident and never make the same mistake again."
After saying that, he stood up and left. Shen Lianxin walked him to the door and said, "Goodbye, Li Zheng!"
The village head glanced at Shen Lianxin and nodded without saying anything.
Widow Yang and Yang Dali then fled back home. Shen Lianxin ignored them.
The crowd dispersed, and Aunt Zhang held Shen Lianxin's hand, "Lianxin, I'm going back too."
Looking at Aunt Zhang who was in a mess after helping her child in a fight, Shen Lianxin was grateful and said, "Stay for dinner."
Aunt Zhang laughed. "What do you want to eat? Have you cooked? Come on, clean up quickly. The child needs to be comforted. You must be tired after coming back from so far away. Take a rest."
Aunt Zhang patted her hands and went back. Shen Lianxin smiled silently and did not stay long.
Seeing that the crowd had left, Old Lady Shen came over and looked at the children distressedly, "Damn it, why did you beat my grandson like this? As soon as I heard the news, I dragged your second uncle over. As soon as I arrived, I saw the village, so I let your second uncle go back."
Old Lady Shen couldn't hide her distressed look. Shen Lianxin felt warm in her heart when she heard what Old Lady Shen said. She bought some trauma medicine, iodine, wound healing spray, and gauze cotton swabs from the space mall.
"Mom, help me apply medicine to Chengxin and Chengan, I'll go cook. You can stay for dinner tonight." Shen Lianxin pulled Gu Chengjing and Gu Chengzhen over, confirmed that the two children were not injured, and hugged them to comfort them. Gu Chengxin and Gu Chengan also patted their heads.
Old Mrs. Shen said unhappily, "Where have you been? Your child is being bullied. How can you be a mother?"
"Grandma, don't blame mom. She went to the city to make money." Gu Chengxin and Gu Chengan didn't want others to say bad things about their mother, so they hurried to explain.
Shen Lianxin smiled without saying anything, went into the house and carried the backpack to the kitchen, because she was going to get something out, and the backpack was a cover.
Several children were injured, so Shen Lianxin had to give them some nourishment. Besides, she had not been at home for the past two days. Apart from a pot of braised meat she left behind when she left, the children probably only ate some rice and no vegetables. She glanced at the rice jar and saw that the rice at the bottom of the jar was basically unchanged from when she left.
The children were probably so scared of being hungry that they didn't dare to eat even though they had rice, fearing that Shen Lianxin would stop caring about them at any time.
With a sigh, Shen Lianxin bought 100 kilograms of rice directly from the space mall and poured it into the rice jar. It was a full jar of rice, and she would not be reluctant to eat it. Wash the rice and cook it, a big pot full.
I bought some spare ribs from the mall. I put them in a pot with cold water and blanched them. Then I took them out and heated oil in a pot. I added sugar and fried sugar color. I added onions, ginger, peppercorns, cinnamon and bay leaves. After they were fragrant, I added water, salt, soy sauce and cooking oil and started stewing. After stewing for a quarter of an hour, I added potatoes, boiled over high heat until the soup was reduced, and then served. The fragrant spare ribs and potatoes stew were ready. It was a big pot full.
Shen Lianxin started to fry the eggs again. After the eggs were fried, she took them out and added oil and tomatoes. She fried them until they produced soup. If they were dry, she added some water. Then she added the eggs and a little sugar and salt. She took the dish out of the pan and the nutritious and delicious scrambled eggs with tomatoes were ready.
Shen Lianxin washed another handful of lettuce, added oil, stir-fried some minced garlic, and a little cooking oil. No salt was needed, and a simple stir-fried lettuce was ready.
Shen Lianxin was an efficient cook and everything was ready in no time. The aroma wafted in the air and the hungry children immediately gathered around her.
Old Madam Shen looked at the dishes prepared by Shen Lianxin. There were meat and eggs, and the portions were quite large. How much would this cost? She felt distressed. Shen Lianxin saw what the old madam was thinking and consoled her, "Mother, I went to the city to do some small business this time and made some money. You don't have to feel bad for me. You know what I am doing."
Old Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes at her and said, "Even if you have money, you have to spend it carefully. If you spend it all at once, you'll be laughed at. I'll go back. I've cooked dinner at home." With such delicious food, Old Mrs. Shen felt embarrassed to stay for it. It didn't matter if Shen Lianxin was shameless enough to eat for free. After all, she was her daughter. How could she be so shameless as to eat her daughter's meat for free?
"The meal is ready, why are you leaving?" Shen Lianxin found this little old lady quite interesting and she was thinking about her. She winked at Gu Chengxin, who immediately pulled Old Lady Shen to stop her from leaving.
Gu Chengxin and Gu Chengan, one holding a basin and the other fetching water. They knew that their mother loved cleanliness and would not allow them to eat without washing their hands, so they took the initiative to prepare the water. Shen Lianxin gave them an approving look.
"Mom, let's go wash our hands before we eat." People who are a little more particular will also wash their hands before eating. Old Mrs. Shen did not refuse. When she walked over and saw the soap used by the children, she exclaimed, "What is this? Why is it so fragrant and good?"
Gu Chengxin explained, "Grandma, this is soap. Mom said it's for washing hands."
"Everyone in the village uses wood ash to wash their hands and things. You have never seen this. Is it the soap that only rich families can use? My goodness, this piece is worth a lot of silver."
