Having said that, Yunyi also made a gesture of shooting at Qiu Baolin. "BANG."
She did it to scare him on purpose.
Qiu Baolin thought of Xu Wenchang’s fate and turned pale with fear. Was I so befuddled by my greed that I let my sister persuade me, thinking that by taking advantage of Chu Zhiqing, she would have to marry me to protect her reputation?
Now, he truly regretted it until his guts turned green.
Since their mother, Widow Qiu, had an incident, he and his sister had been scorned and berated. They lived like startled birds, even sneaking around when going to work, for fear that the villagers would remember them and come looking for trouble.
Even when it was time to distribute the grain, they would only sneak out to collect it when no one was around.
Today, his sister had sneaked out. Upon her return, she broached the topic of Chu Zhiqing, mentioning that many families in the village wanted to marry her.
She analyzed with him: Their family’s status was not good, while Chu Zhiqing was not only from a veteran family but also wealthy. Most importantly, she was now adorned with many honors.
If they married her into the family, not only would they have good days ahead, but no one would dare to come seeking trouble with them.
So the two of them devised a plan to take a risk and strike first. Once he took possession of her, she would most likely have no choice but to swallow the humiliation silently for the sake of her reputation.
For this, he even went to the trouble of purchasing Sleeping Drug and some ecstasy-inducing drug at a high price, planning to make it foolproof. However, he hadn’t expected to be knocked unconscious before he could even release the Sleeping Drug into the room.
He looked at Yunyi and said urgently, "Let’s settle this privately. Let’s settle this privately."
All those present turned to look at Yunyi. They despised the actions of the Qiu siblings, but the village’s reputation really couldn’t afford to sink any lower. Otherwise, it would impact the village youths in finding brides and grooms.
Yunyi said indifferently, "Five hundred for a private settlement, not a penny less. Or forget it."
Yunyi knew what kind of person she was dealing with the moment she heard her speak. Xu Wenchang must have subsidized Widow Qiu quite a bit, and their family might really be able to come up with the money. So she said nonchalantly, "I’m not forcing you. Don’t you still have another option?"

After all, they can run, but they can’t hide. With the brigade cadre here, I’m not afraid of them fleeing. Yunyi then said, "Alright, but before you leave, you must write down what happened today and include an IOU. I want to see the money by ten o’clock tomorrow morning. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing you any face."
