After Jiang Yifeng finished speaking, everyone looked at Laifu.
At this moment, the pressure was on him.
Laifu stood there stunned for a while, then suddenly started scratching his head and making a hissing sound from his mouth.
Seeing this, Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but ask: "Can you tell me, what are you scratching your head for?"
Laifu's face was full of confusion and he replied: "Benefactor, I don't know how to explain this matter."
"Just say what's on your mind."
"That's okay."
Laifu took a deep breath, looked at Cao Meng for a moment, and finally looked at Jiang Yifeng, "If I only consider myself, I want Cao Meng to join the village."
Jiang Yifeng had no expression on his face and asked, "He almost killed you, don't you hate him?"
"hatred!"
Laifu replied without even thinking: "I am the only one in our family. If I die, our family will be extinct. I will not be able to see my parents even if I die."
Having said this, Laifu smiled bitterly, "But while I was recuperating, he and Cao Mengyao came to see me almost every day, apologized to me, ate with me, told me stories, and said they would be my family. I was thinking, even though I almost died, I had two more family members, which looked good, so I wanted to keep them in the village."
Laifu is still a half-adult child. Although he usually looks smiling, he is actually very lonely inside and longs for a family.
Otherwise, he would not have been thinking about marrying a wife and having many children when he was dying.
The meticulous care given by Cao Meng and his sister made Laifu feel like a family member.
"but……"
At this moment, Laifu looked resolutely and spoke again, "However, if the benefactor doesn't want them to stay, I won't let them stay. The benefactor gave me two lives. This life of mine belongs to the benefactor. My benefactor." Whatever you say is what you say.”
If other people said such things, Jiang Yifeng would think that the other party was throwing the blame back again.
But it was Laifu who said this. This guy only thinks about being a bitch with a big butt, giving birth to many children, and having a family. He doesn’t have that much brains at all.
Therefore, what he wanted to express was to completely obey Jiang Yifeng.
"good!"
Jiang Yifeng shouted and looked at Cao Meng, "Since Laifu wants you to join Coal Village, I will give you a chance. As long as you do one thing, I will promise you to join Coal Village."
Cao Meng's face lit up and he said hurriedly: "Sir, don't say one thing, even if it is a hundred things, I can do it."
Jiang Yifeng said solemnly: "With your brain, you probably can't think of forcing someone to die. Who is guiding you behind your back? Tell me those people."
Cao Meng, who was steadfast in his oath one second, suddenly turned ugly in the next second, lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing that Cao Meng was silent, Jiang Yifeng continued: "Don't you really want to join Coal Village? As long as you tell the names of those people, I will immediately agree to your request and help you build a big house."
thump!
After hearing this, Cao Meng suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Then, he loudly said: "Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to join Coal Village, but I cannot say their names."
Jiang Yifeng asked with a cold face: "Why can't you tell them their names?"
"I don't think this is right."
Cao Meng's eyes were firm and he said word by word: "They helped me and are my benefactors. If I surrender them, it would be unkind and unjust. Even if I join Mei Village, I will look down on myself."
Jiang Yifeng reminded: "If you leave Coal Village, your sister will no longer have a free private school to study, and she will be hungry with you. It is not certain whether she can survive this winter."
Cao Meng was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Just...even so, I can't confess them. This is my bottom line."
Jiang Yifeng snorted coldly, "I don't know what to say. If that's the case, then get out!"
"benefactor……"
Seeing this situation, everyone asked for mercy.
"Shut the hell up."
Jiang Yifeng suddenly shouted loudly, shocking everyone, "I have given him a chance, but he didn't grasp it. Do you want me to leave a disobedient person in the village?"
"..."
When everyone heard this, they all closed their mouths.
Cao Meng didn't say anything more, kowtowed three more times to Jiang Yifeng, and then walked towards Coal Village.
In the cold wind, his back looked particularly desolate, which made many people unable to bear it.
Waiting until Cao Meng's figure disappeared, Jiang Yifeng suddenly said, "I think you really want him to stay, so I'll give you a chance."
Li Erniu quickly asked, "Benefactor, what opportunity is there?"
Jiang Yifeng said: "As long as those who are advising Cao Meng behind the scenes stand up, I will let Cao Meng join Coal Village."
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers fell silent for a moment.
Those people are afraid to come forward.
Life in Mei Village is so good, even better than when they were in Yuzhou. They are worried that if they stand up, Jiang Yifeng will be kicked out of Mei Village, and they will have to live a homeless life again.
However, thinking of Cao Meng's lonely figure, they couldn't bear it and felt very entangled in their hearts.
"Benefactor, I am here."
While everyone was thinking about it, Laifu was the first to stand up and said, "Benefactor, I'm sorry, I really didn't want the brothers and sisters to leave, so I helped find a way. I'm willing to accept any punishment."
Li Erniu sneered, "Although I'm a little stupid, I really made some suggestions. I asked Cao Meng to wear a little more shabby clothes, so that he looks pitiful."
"I……"
"With me..."
"And I……"
After Laifu and Li Erniu, people stood up one after another, a total of fifteen people.
"Boss, and...and me..."
The last one to stand up was Tang Shubai. He was too timid to look directly into Jiang Yifeng's eyes.
As a scholar, he understood that people with high status would not allow their subordinates to be half-hearted and play tricks on him, so he knew that Jiang Yifeng was very angry.
but……
He saw so many people who had never read the book stand up, and felt that if he did not stand up, he would have read so many years of sage books in vain, and he would no longer be qualified to talk about etiquette, justice, and integrity in the future.
"Is there anyone else?"
Jiang Yifeng glanced at the others, his voice cold and biting.
After a long time, no one came forward again, and the number of people who came forward was the same as Li Erniu said.
"No matter what your purpose is, it is wrong to deceive me. I will punish you with one month's salary and treat the whole village to a meal." Jiang Yifeng finished speaking with a cold face and continued: "In addition, I am very happy with your performance today. satisfy."
After saying that, Jiang Yifeng walked towards Coal Village with Zhong Bugui and Su Dongchu.
Looking at Jiang Yifeng leaving, everyone was confused. They didn't understand what Jiang Yifeng meant, so they could only look at Tang Shubai.
Tang Shubai thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Did the boss just say that as long as we stand up, Cao Meng will be allowed to stay?"
