The matter seemed to have been resolved, but Huang Haihe's fate would definitely not be any better. After all, even his own people had betrayed him. In order to clear their names, Minister Hao and Wan Chengkang had done everything they could to push the blame onto Huang Haihe. Huang Haihe had nowhere to go.
Xu Yun didn't plan to leave even though he couldn't wait for news of Huang Haihe's sentence. Zuo Meiyan had already taken care of the most important matters in Sky Entertainment Group. It wouldn't matter if he and Ruan Qingshuang stayed here for a few more days.
From seven to ten in the morning, Xu Yun only took three hours to solve the problem at the stone factory. Then, all the villagers gathered outside Ruan Qingshuang's house.
Xiao Zhang was holding the loudspeaker that he borrowed from the village committee. He proudly said, "Today we hit the jackpot. Brother Xu Yun not only helped us get rid of Huang Haihe, the big bully, but he also decided to share the money that Huang Haihe gave him as compensation for the street lights. It will be used as compensation for the pollution of the stone factory."
Everyone's faces were brimming with unconcealable joy. When the first family walked out of the Ruan family's house with a hundred thousand dollars, the people waiting outside all widened their eyes in envy. Looking at the hundred thousand dollars, such a thick stack of money, it was really … really incredible.
"Next! Old Xing family, go in! " Xiao Zhang held a list that Xu Yun had asked him to prepare and read it out one by one. Of course, he had to be careful. Otherwise, what would happen if someone took more money? After all, it wasn't a small amount. It would definitely be very attractive to ordinary people.
Therefore, Xiao Zhang read out each family on the list. Every family came to take the money, signed their names, and left after taking the money. Everyone who came in and out was deeply grateful to Xu Yun and the Ruan family.
Old Zhang held a hoe and acted as a temporary bodyguard at the Ruan family's house. He said to Old Ruan, "Old Ruan, now the entire village owes you. You will be the benefactor of our village from now on."
"If you want to thank someone, you should thank Xiao Xu. If it wasn't for Xiao Xu, what could I have done?" Old Ruan smiled and said, "I was born to be bullied and suffer. It's Qingshuang who is lucky … Hahaha, she ran away in pursuit of her own happiness and ideals."
Elder Zhang patted Elder Ruan's shoulder. "Brother, don't talk about it anymore. It's all in the past. Qing Shuang knows that you blame yourself. She doesn't blame you anymore."
The two old men were both injured, but one was still standing and the other was still sitting at the door, guarding the family's "treasury". Speaking of the things that happened many years ago, Old Ruan's heart still couldn't calm down for a long time. Many things were like this. It seemed casual, but once it happened, it would cause lifelong regret.
One of the men from the Xing Family was in the hospital, while the other was lying at home. The ones who came were the old lady and her daughter-in-law, as well as the young lad who was at the age of seven or eight years old!
Xu Yun looked at the young lad. Oh, he knew him. Today, this was the young lad who threw stones at the motorcade and even climbed up a tree to hit them with a slingshot. Later, when the thugs came, the young lad wasn't afraid at all. He stayed on the tree and helped Xu Yun hit the thugs with his slingshot.
Those thugs who had their heads smashed by stones weren't done by Xu Yun. They were all hit by the young lad with his slingshot.
"What's his name?" Xu Yun clapped his hands and motioned for the young lad to come over.
Old Xing's daughter-in-law pulled her son embarrassedly. "His name is Goudan … Today … he caused trouble for you. I'm really … sorry."
"No, he didn't cause any trouble." Xu Yun smiled. He could tell that the young lad was nervous. "He was helping. Good man."
"Mom, did you see that? I told you I'm a man!" Goudan said righteously. "I just wanted to hit those bad guys!"
"Little Goudan, why did you hit those bad guys?" Ruan Qingshuang was afraid that Goudan would get used to violence. After all, he was still so young. She tried to persuade him. "We live in a civilized society ruled by law. There are many things that we shouldn't use violence to solve."
Goudan said logically, "Because the rule of law didn't solve the problem of the bad guys bullying me. They even injured my grandpa and my dad. My dad is still in the hospital."
Xu Yun patted Goudan's head. "You should study hard and enter the police academy. If you can become a high-ranking officer in the police force, you can change some things. You're still young. You'll understand slowly. "
"I understand. If I can control those policemen, they'll listen to me." Goudan nodded. "If I become a high-ranking officer, I won't collude with bad guys!"
"Well said," Xu Yun said. "Remember what you said today. You're a man now. You have to keep your words. Otherwise, Uncle Xu will give you trouble later. "
"Uncle Xu, don't worry!" Goudan was still quite sensible. "I'll definitely study hard and become a high-ranking official. My mom said that as long as I'm successful like Uncle Xu in the future, no one will dare to bully our village anymore!"
Xu Yun nodded. "Well said! You're ambitious. Goudan, I'll give you another hundred thousand in addition to the hundred thousand that your family deserves. It'll be your scholarship fund. If you don't study hard, I'll come back to the village to teach you a lesson. "
Goudan was a little surprised. He didn't have much of a concept of a hundred thousand. After all, he only had fifty cents worth of banknotes. When he kowtowed during the New Year, his family would give him fifty cents worth of banknotes.
Goudan's grandma and mom were really flattered. They hurriedly waved their hands and said no. They said they couldn't accept it. It was unfair to others.
Xu Yun smiled. "There's nothing unfair about it. I asked for the money. I'll give it to whoever I say. No one will have any objections. "
"Uncle Xu Yun, you're so good to me," Goudan said. "I'll study hard in the future. I'll repay you even if I have to be an ox or a horse."
"Goudan, this money isn't just for you. I know that your dad broke one of his hands a few years ago when he was working outside. " Xu Yun said, "It wasn't easy for your dad to support the family in the past. It's even harder now. When you're successful in the future, you should be filial to him."
Goudan was a little uncomfortable. "He beats me, scolds me, and lectures me all day. I don't want to …"
"Beating is affection, scolding is love." Xu Yun said, "Your dad did it for you. Understand, kid. You'll understand when you grow up. Take the money and protect your grandma and mom. You're the only man in your family now. Do you understand? "
"Yes!" Goudan said with determination, "I promise to complete the mission."
The money from the Xing Family left safely under Goudan's protection. Xiao Zhang continued to let the next family come forward to collect the money.
More than two hundred families in the village received the money. More than ten families with special circumstances like Eggface's also received an additional 100,000 yuan. This was nothing to Xu Yun, but it wasn't easy for those special families to receive it.
The workload of distributing the money was huge. It was already three in the afternoon by the time everything was settled. They didn't have time to eat lunch. There was no choice. There were so many people waiting to get the money. Xu Yun and Ruan Qingshuang were embarrassed to let them wait outside.
Now that it was finally settled, Mother Ruan hurried to the kitchen to cook.
"Xiao Zhang, this is your family's." Xu Yun handed 200,000 yuan to Xiao Zhang.
When Xiao Zhang saw this, he quickly waved his hand. "My family isn't in trouble … There's no need for my family to receive special treatment. Other people get more money because the male laborers in the family have trouble and the children are young … In my family, my dad and I have two strong laborers. If I get more money … I'll feel embarrassed."
Anyone would be tempted and jealous if an extra 100,000 yuan was placed in front of them. Even a well-off family in the city would be tempted. After all, it was money for a small car.
If it was placed in front of Xiao Zhang, it would be a temptation of millions. However, Xiao Zhang actually rejected it. He didn't lie and said that he really wanted it. Who wouldn't want money? However, if he really took it, he would really feel embarrassed.
Old Zhang looked at his son. He decided to listen to him and let him make the decision.
