Chapter 182 Going into the Mountains, Enhancement of Special Ability
Sun Baojun swung a fist and knocked the old man down right away. An elderly man couldn’t withstand his punch, and when he was taken to the hospital, they said his nasal bone was broken and two of his front teeth had been knocked out.
The small amount of compensation he was assigned was nowhere near enough to settle what happened today. By the time the Sun family received the news and rushed to the county town, the old man’s son was already forcing Sun Baojun to write an IOU.
In a burst of impulsiveness, Sun Baojun not only had to pay for the man’s hospital fees but also the cost of dental work, nutrition supplements during recovery, lost wages, and additional compensation. Certainly, one couldn’t just be beaten for nothing.
The family didn’t have enough money to cover all the costs, so Sun Baojun’s wife had to borrow some from her parents’ home before they could finally settle the matter.
But when Sun Baojun returned to the village, he was far from done. He started teaming up with his big brother, Sun Baowen, to create trouble for his second brother, Sun Baoqing. It was only then that the villagers learned that even Sun Baoqing’s job had been gained because of the accidental incident involving Stone’s mom, Sun Mei.
Following these developments, the Sun family’s reputation in Qingshan Village, and even Chaoyang Commune, was utterly ruined. It wasn’t just about finding wives anymore, even the Sun family’s daughters were shunned, as no one dared to tarnish their reputation by association.
The eldest branch of the family was the most anxious. Their daughter was already seventeen years old, and they felt as if her prospects had been compromised. They had no choice but to pull some strings with their relatives to marry her off to a distant place.
Luo Qiao didn’t care about their quarreling. There wasn’t much work in the fields these days, so the secretary granted everyone two days off. The main reason was that the team leader and the secretary had noticed that the members were just chatting and stalling for time in the fields, so they might as well let everyone have a couple of days to themselves.
