Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife looked at the village chief. Instead of getting angry, she agreed.
“Uncle Li, please uphold justice for us!” As she spoke, she even knelt down in front of the village chief.
The village chief’s expression changed.
He quickly went forward to help Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife.
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter impartially. If anyone is not convinced…” At this point, the village chief paused.
“Just go to the county government and complain!”
Everyone was shocked.
However, when they saw Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife’s tear-stained face and Fourth Uncle Lin’s appearance, no one said anything.
They indeed looked very miserable this time. If Second Uncle Lin’s family did not accept the village chief’s decision, it would not look good on them.
After all, if such a thing were to happen to them, they would have to suffer. They could not accept it either.
Although they thought so, everyone believed that the village chief could handle the matter well.
Because besides being the village chief of Daishi Village, he was also the patriarch of the Li Clan, the largest clan in their village.
If anyone dared to disobey the village chief, then they could not stay in Daishi Village anymore.
Indeed, when they heard this, they trembled.
“What do you think?” The village chief looked at Second Uncle Lin.
None of them was a good person in this family.
Not only did he chase away Ms. Lin’s family, he even wanted to push away the only people with a good character, Fourth Uncle Lin and his family.
Second Uncle Lin’s body trembled.
He glanced at Deng Shi, bowed, and said to the village chief, “w-we’ll accept your decision.”
Only then did the village chief’s expression improve a little.
“Alright then!”
“Today’s incident was caused by Deng Shi, which led to the subsequent events.”
“Second Uncle Lin, you don’t know the severity of the situation. You brought Lin Dashan and Lin Xiaoshan to beat up Fourth Uncle Lin, causing him to be seriously injured.”
“Next, I will sentence you and your family to bear the cost of his recovery.”
“You will pay for Fourth Uncle Lin’s injury at the clinic on top of 5 taels of silver as compensation,” The village chief said.
When Deng Shi heard this, she immediately exploded.
“Why do we have to pay for everything? Fourth Uncle Lin also hit me!” She pointed at her slightly swollen face and said to the village chief.
The village chief frowned.
“You provoked his family first. You deserve to be beaten!” He said with some disgust.
“I only asked you to provide compensation.”
“Since you don’t agree, then you must also pay for his missing work.”
“They are working in the Liu family’s workshop. Although Fourth Uncle Lin is only doing odd jobs, he is still earning money every day. In addition, his land had not been tidied up yet.”
“You injured him and delayed the work in the fields.”
When Second Uncle Lin heard this, his expression changed drastically.
He quickly went forward and pulled Deng Shi back, saying, “we agree! It’s my fault!”
Then, Second Uncle Lin looked at Fourth Uncle Lin.
“We will compensate you. Please, let us off!”
Fourth Uncle Lin turned his head away.
Begging him now?
When he took his sons to beat him up just now, he also begged him, but had he paid any attention?
Not only did he ignore him, he also hit him harder.
When Second Uncle Lin saw this, his face turned pale and he quickly looked at Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife.
“Please!” He pleaded.
“Humph!” However, he only received a cold snort from Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife.
When the village chief saw this, his face became stern.
“Since that’s the case. Then, you will compensate Fourth Uncle Lin 2 taels of silver as compensation for his loss of work.” He said in a deep voice.
When Deng Shi heard this, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.
“This is unfair! 2 taels of silver for the loss of work? He also hit me. Why shouldn’t he compensate me? Chief, you’re biased!” She shouted.
Hearing this, the village chief’s face instantly darkened.
Second Uncle Lin’s expression changed and he quickly went to pull her away.
However, Deng Shi actually waved his hand away.
“Why are you pulling me? I’m not convinced! You coward, you’re his brother. What’s wrong with teaching your brother a lesson? You still want to plead guilty and compensate!” The more she scolded, the angrier she became.
Then, a crisp sound was heard.
Second Uncle Lin slapped the uninjured half of her face.
He hit her quite hard, and Deng Shi almost lost her balance.
Seeing this, Lin Dashan and Lin Xiaoshan didn’t help her up..
