"Brother, are you stupid!" Yun Jianzhou was extremely agitated. "Even if we didn't spend any money, what Liu Yu did was real. Why shouldn't we claim compensation? Moreover, you yourself said that we were really delayed. Now that the farmland has just been allocated to households, every family is racing against time. So it's not excessive for us to ask for some compensation."
"I think Brother is right," Yun Que'er chimed in. "If we asked for money, it would make us seem as petty as Liu Kui. Brother's words not only show that we are more magnanimous than Liu Kui, but more importantly, they also serve as a warning to others, preventing them from getting any wrong ideas."
The incident had made quite a stir today, especially with the secretary present. Even those who disliked the Yun family would have to think twice before engaging in any petty theft in the future.
Anyway, Yun Fujin's words were quite well - spoken and had the effect of intimidating others.
Although Yun Jianzhou agreed, he still felt reluctant.
"Liu Kui has ruined so many of our family's good deeds. Isn't it too lenient to just let him off without asking for money?" Yun Jianzhou folded his arms and grunted discontentedly. "Anyway, I think we're being too kind to Liu Kui."
Yun Que'er smiled helplessly. "Second Brother, don't you understand the saying that even a hero can be stymied by a lack of money? Liu Kui's life is already difficult enough. If we try to get money from him at this time, he might do something desperate in a fit of desperation."
Yun Jianzhou didn't agree with what Yun Que'er said.
"Why are you feeling sorry for him? A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if Liu Kui is down on his luck now, his family still has more resources than ours. It's not excessive to ask for some money from him."
Yun Fujin sighed. "Jianzhou, you're too impulsive. Just listen to what Xiao Que'er has to say."
Yun Jianzhou was very unhappy and plopped down on the edge of the bed.
"Then you speak! Say whatever you want..."
"Because people have different views on wealth," Yun Que'er said. "In our family, we only consider ourselves poor when we can't even afford to eat. But for Liu Kui, he already feels destitute. We can't change his mindset. So if we push him too far at this time and he takes revenge on our family, what should we do?"
Yun Que'er looked at Yun Fujin. "So I think Brother is actually helping our family avoid risks. Brother is right."
Yun Fujin nodded. He thought the same way.
Money is only temporary. Even if they got some, it would eventually run out.
Moreover, they had their own hands and feet and could work hard to get what they really wanted. Why should they take advantage of others?
Yun Jianzhou was somewhat convinced, but due to his previous dissatisfaction with Liu Kui, he still felt a bit uncomfortable.
But he couldn't say anything more. Whatever he said would be refuted, so it was better to keep his mouth shut and avoid making a fool of himself.
"Fine, fine. You guys always have a point. Anyway, in this family, my words are the least important."
Yun Que'er and Yun Fujin exchanged a smile. It was good that Yun Jianzhou had listened.
Yun Fujin pulled Yun Jianzhou back. "Who said you're unimportant? You're the brains of our family. Besides Xiao Que'er, you have the most ideas. We'll rely on you a lot in the future. Don't be discouraged."
"Right, Second Brother. You're my idol. You're just a bit impulsive sometimes. But we'll work hard together. We'll correct our shortcomings in time, and our life will surely get better and better." Yun Que'er flattered Yun Jianzhou so much that his mood improved a bit.
"Okay, stop it. My teeth are going to ache." Yun Jianzhou playfully poked Yun Que'er's head. "It's already the middle of the night. Go to sleep quickly. Now that the matter is resolved, we'll plant the saplings in the field tomorrow. Hurry up and don't oversleep in the morning."
Yun Que'er grinned and got into the quilt on her own initiative.
"I definitely won't stay in bed tomorrow."
"I hope you'll do as you say." Yun Jianzhou scoffed and lay down on the bed.
After such a ruckus in the middle of the night, Yun Que'er couldn't fall asleep easily.
She felt that she had only dozed off for a while when she was woken up by the urge to pee.
She quietly lifted the quilt and sat up, only to find that Yun Fujin beside her was also gone.
Where did he go? Could he have gone for a stroll in the middle of the night?
Yun Que'er put on her slippers and went out. At the door, she saw Yun Fujin squatting in the yard, sighing at the damaged saplings of their family.
"Brother, why aren't you asleep yet?" Yun Que'er walked up and squatted beside Yun Fujin.
"Neither are you," Yun Fujin said. "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"
"I've been too restless. I'm really not sleepy."
Yun Fujin chuckled and stroked Yun Que'er's head.
"You just promised your second brother that you'd get up early tomorrow. He'll have something to say about you if you oversleep."
"Second Brother won't do anything to me." Yun Que'er raised her head proudly. "But Brother, you've been so tired. You should rest earlier."
"I'm the same as you. I just can't fall asleep." He looked at the mess in front of him and suddenly said, "Xiao Que'er, don't you think Liu Kui was really wronged in this matter?"
Yun Que'er frowned and whispered.
"You've noticed it too, Brother."
Yun Fujin nodded. Yes, Liu Kui had been busy with the investigation these days and really didn't have enough time to do those sneaky things.
Moreover, as far as they knew, Liu Kui had been really stressed out these days.
If he could still find the energy to cause trouble for others at this time, they would have to admit that Liu Kui was really something.
But there were many doubts in this matter, and Liu Kui's protests didn't seem fake, which made them unsure of their speculations.
"Anyway, it's true that Liu Yu came to cause damage today," Yun Que'er said. "We just don't know if he was involved in the previous incidents."
The siblings fell silent simultaneously and sank into deep thought.
If it really had nothing to do with Liu Kui, they hoped that the real person pulling the strings behind the scenes would learn a lesson from today's incident and stop being so sneaky.
"Forget it. Let's go back to sleep," Yun Fujin took Yun Que'er's hand. "Whether it's him or not, the truth will come out in the end."
The yard of the Yun family fell completely silent, but in the middle of the night, the lights in another household were on all night.
The village head's wife waited at the door for a long time and finally waited for her daughter to come back.
She quickly stepped forward and grabbed her daughter's hand.
"How was it? Was the situation not exacerbated?"
