Chapter 277: Oh, Damn Coincidence
Chapter 277: Oh, Damn Coincidence "Yes, how should we calculate the payment?" Shu Yu asked with a furrowed brow. Lu Sanzhu immediately became excited, but when Shu Yu glanced at him, he quickly restrained his expression and composed himself. The three young masters exchanged glances, and the one standing at the front extended a finger. "One tael of silver?" Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. Of course not, it was one hundred wen. The three young masters couldn't help but widen their eyes. They weren't stingy individuals; all of them were accustomed to spending money extravagantly. The problem was that they felt aggrieved themselves. Not to mention one tael of silver, they weren't willing to give even a single wen. Moreover, judging from their petty behavior, they should be secretly delighted with one hundred wen. They considered this amount as sufficient to dismiss a beggar. They were about to shake their heads, but unexpectedly, Shu Yu said, "Only one tael of silver? Do you think you're dismissing a beggar?" The three men were taken aback. Even Lu Sanzhu, who had been quite satisfied, looked at Shu Yu in astonishment. Not only him, but even Tang Wenqian and Lan Hua also turned their gaze toward her. Wasn't one tael of silver quite a lot? Shu Yu was already calculating with a furrowed brow. "Your payment is only one tael of silver. It's really stingy. My third uncle soaked in the water for such a long time, and his hands and feet wrinkled. Who knows if he'll catch a cold?" As she spoke, Shu Yu glanced sideways at Lu Sanzhu. In an instant, he had a sudden inspiration and turned to the side, sneezing twice fiercely. Oh, damn coincidence. Shu Yu pointed at him. "Listen, listen! He has already caught a cold. When he goes back, he will have to see a doctor and take medicine. At the very least, he will have to stay in bed for two days. The medical fees, the cost of the medicine, and the compensation for lost work all need to be compensated. And my third uncle just wanted to demonstrate his swimming skills, swim back and forth, and come up. Who knew you wouldn't be satisfied and even made a loud commotion, attracting people from the surrounding area. Look, even our fellow villagers have come to watch the excitement. This won't do. My third uncle still has face. If the villagers spread the news, everyone will laugh at him. What will he do then?" Tang Wenqian, expressionless, stood there among the villagers. Shu Yu sighed, "You're the ones who caused these consequences. My third uncle's spirit has been injured. So there should be compensation for the mental distress, right? And also, my third uncle only agreed to demonstrate his skills. He didn't give you permission to hit him with a bamboo pole, did he? He was hit on the head several times just now. Who knows if there will be any brain problems? What if he suddenly goes crazy and starts hitting women and children? It's all your fault." Everyone fell silent.
So the payment could be calculated this way as well? Even Hu Li coughed lightly and silently looked in the direction where the officials were. He misunderstood the situation. Sir were right. Lu Miss... she wasn't an ordinary young girl, and she wouldn't suffer. The three men were also dumbfounded, looking at Shu Yu in disbelief. Were they responsible for all of this? "Then tell us, how much?" they asked. "Anything less than ten taels is a loss for us," Shu Yu said generously. "Ten taels? Why don't you go rob someone?" one of them retorted. Shu Yu smiled. "Aren't I robbing you right now?" The three men refused, "But you pushed us... into the water, and there were seven of us. Aren't we the ones at a disadvantage?" Shu Yu fell silent. The three men thought she couldn't come up with a response. However, she quickly raised her head and nodded in agreement. "You're right. This matter is a bit complicated. So, I propose that we go to the government office and let the officials decide who bears more responsibility." Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!
