Siheyuan Diaosi Attack
Chapter 40: Apologize
Just as everyone was arguing, Li Yue suddenly heard the mechanical but clear voice of the system: "Ding! Triggering a random task - helping Banggeng resolve the chicken stealing crisis.
Complete the task and you will get 50 points as a reward.
Does the host accept it?"
A trace of hesitation flashed through Li Yue's mind. He originally wanted to teach Banggeng a due lesson, but the temptation of the system made him waver.
He knew very well how valuable points were. After thinking for a moment, he answered silently in his heart: "Yes."
Immediately, Li Yue stepped forward and walked towards Xu Damao with steady steps.
His eyes were firm, and his tone was calm but forceful: "Look at this child, he is still young, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes.
Sending him to the police station may relieve his anger temporarily, but it will be a heavy blow to his future.
As elders, shouldn’t we give him a chance to correct his mistakes?”
Xu Damao frowned, obviously still weighing the pros and cons.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai came over, his voice gentle and persuasive: "Da Mao, Li Yue is right.
We are neighbors in the same yard and colleagues in the same factory.
If this matter gets out of hand, it will not only affect the child, but will also be detrimental to your image in the factory.
As a member of the publicity department, you should show tolerance and generosity instead of arguing with a child."
Li Yue noticed that there was a hint of morality in Yi Zhonghai’s words to kidnap people, but he did not show it, but continued in a sincere tone: “Master Yi’s words make sense.
Let us think about how to make Banggeng realize his mistakes without ruining his future.
After all, the purpose of education is to guide, not to destroy.”
Xu Damao's anger gradually faded after being persuaded by everyone. He pondered for a while and finally spoke: "Okay, since everyone says so, I will let Banggeng steal the chicken for now, but the Jia family must pay for the chicken."
Li Yue's gaze stayed on Xu Damao's face for a moment, then he spoke slowly, with a firmness in his tone that could not be ignored!
Said: "Although I don't know your name yet, it doesn't prevent us from dealing with the problem at hand.
It is a fact that Bang Geng's behavior has caused you inconvenience, and compensation is justified.
According to the market price, an old hen is worth about two dollars. Considering the trouble Bang Geng has caused you, I propose to add another dollar as compensation, making a total of three dollars.
Such an amount not only reflects recognition of your losses, but also gives Banggeng a profound lesson.”
He paused, glanced at the crowd around him, and continued, "If we choose to call the police today, the police station might just keep Banggeng in there for two days and then release him.
But doing so is undoubtedly unnecessary harm to a child.
He still has a chance to correct himself, why don't we give him this opportunity?
Moreover, if the Jia family cannot come up with the money for the time being, I am willing to pay it first."
As Xu Damao listened to Li Yue's words, the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
He knew that what Li Yue said made sense, and three dollars was nothing to him. Even if he had two more dollars, it wouldn't be a big deal. It wasn't too much money.
He was silent for a while, then nodded slowly: “Okay, since you said so, I will accept this solution.
But I hope Bang Geng can remember the lesson today and not do such things again in the future."
Qin Huairu heard this and said, "We will give you the money, but I don't have that much money to give you."
After saying this, Qin Huairu felt a little uncomfortable. She knew that her family was not well off financially, but she couldn't let her child suffer any injustice. So, she decided to let Banggeng apologize to Xu Damao first, hoping to calm the matter down.
Qin Huairu then said to Bang Geng: "You go and apologize?"
Then he pulled Bang Geng in front of Xu Damao, pointed at him and said, "Why don't you apologize now!"
Bang Geng stood in front of Xu Damao with an expression of reluctance and grievance on his face. He knew it in his heart, but he was very dissatisfied with having to apologize to Xu Damao.
Bang Geng stared at Xu Damao with wide eyes, as if expressing his inner dissatisfaction. He thought, "What's wrong with eating your chicken? You also want me to apologize to you? You wish!"
Xu Damao frowned, looked at Bang Geng with displeasure, and said in a bad tone: "Why, you don't want to apologize to me?"
His eyes were full of provocation and dissatisfaction.
At this time, Sha Zhu came over, his eyes widened, and he said to Xu Damao rudely: "Xu Damao, that's enough!
He is just a child, he doesn't know much, do you want to argue with him?"
After hearing this, Xu Damao turned around, looked at Sha Zhu with contempt, and sneered, "What kid?
Does he look like a child?
"If you learn to steal at such a young age, you will definitely be a loser when you grow up. Mind your own business!"
After saying that, he glared at Bang Geng fiercely again.
Li Yue stood aside, watching everything happening in front of him quietly.
She knew that there had always been conflicts between Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, but she didn't expect that they would quarrel over a child.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Li Yue couldn't help but say, "Okay, both of you should stop talking."
Her voice was calm but firm, trying to calm the dispute.
However, Xu Damao didn't seem to buy it. He still insisted to Sha Zhu: "Humph, this matter is not over today!"
Sha Zhu was not to be outdone and responded: "So what do you want?"
The conversation between the two became more and more intense, as if a storm was about to come.
Li Yue looked at Bang Geng and said, "Little boy, stealing is not good.
No matter what your reason is, stealing other people's things is wrong.
If you do something wrong, you should admit your mistake. This is the responsibility a man should have.
Look, the owner has come to your door, and you are not going to apologize?"
Banggeng was very upset. He felt that he was being wronged and was being taught a lesson by this stranger who had experienced the new version of the game.
He glared at Li Yue and said unhappily, "Humph, you don't need to teach me how to do it!"
Li Yue shook his head helplessly, wondering why this child was so stubborn.
He continued to persuade: "Little friend, it is not terrible to make mistakes, but it is terrible to not dare to face and correct mistakes.
As long as you can recognize your mistake, bravely apologize to the owner, and promise not to make the same mistake again, you are a good child.
Come, let's go with uncle to apologize to the owner, okay?"
Banggeng remained unmoved, and even shouted at Li Yue angrily: "Why are you meddling in other people's business? Who wants you to be a good person?"
Qin Huairu was still counting on Li Yue to help him with the money.
So she glanced at Bang Geng. Although she was very angry, she suppressed her anger and hit Bang Geng on the back. Then she smiled and said to Li Yue, "How can you talk like that, kid? Your Uncle Li is helping you, why are you still talking like that?"
However, when Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu was beaten, she became unhappy. She walked to Qin Huairu's side, raised her hand, and slapped Qin Huairu's face hard, making a crisp sound.
Qin Huairu was stunned by the beating and couldn't help but scream "Ah!" She covered her face and looked at Jia Zhang in astonishment, her eyes full of grievance and confusion, and said, "Mom, why did you hit me?"
After hearing this, Jia Zhangshi did not show any apology, but said confidently: "What are you talking about? Who told you to beat my eldest grandson?
He is young and ignorant, why do you hit my eldest grandson, you!
I said I was giving you money, why are you apologizing? "
After saying this, she glared at Qin Huairu fiercely, as if she wanted to vent all her dissatisfaction.
