Xiao Lingyu continued, "If people feel sorry for them, or if they think I'm cold-blooded and merciless, so be it.

"Because I don't think I've done anything wrong. Everyone has to pay for the mistakes they've made, no matter who they are. It is true that Zhang Xiaolan has been imprisoned, but what about the damage she caused? Is my family supposed to suffer that loss silently?

"A family is a unit. They share the joy and suffering together. Zhang Xiaolan has contributed to her family before she is captured, so it is only logical for her family to help her after she is captured!"

Xiao Lingyu would never compromise. She wouldn't pity them either.

In her previous life, when the Xiao family was in the most difficult situation, it was one thing that these people didn't help her family, but they added insult to injury. They helped the Chen Family and took advantage of her family.

Xiao Lingyu had a very strong memory.

The villagers looked at the proud Xiao Lingyu and the kneeling Xiao Chengcai. The contrast was too stark. They thought Xiao Lingyu was heartless.

Zhang Chunxiang's mother-in-law, Auntie Li, stood out and said, "Lingyu, we know that your family has worked hard for your wealth.

"However, your family's strawberries have already earned a lot of money. You don't lack this little bit of money. But look at their family. They have to eat, drink and marry. I think they really don't have the money to compensate you.

"Why don't we just forget about this? After all, the culprit, Zhang Xiaolan, has already been punished, right?"

Aunt Li pressured Xiao Lingyu with her seniority. Even Xiao Lingyu had to call her fourth grandmother.

As soon as she finished speaking, Old Master Gong came out of the room with a cane.

He looked at Aunt Li and said sternly, "Big Sister Li, you're wrong. The Xiao Family doesn't lack 108,000 RMB, and the culprit has been captured, but the unlawful has to be punished.

"Fortunately, the villagers helped to put out the fire in time, and the consequences were not that serious. If the entire strawberry field were burned down, then the culprit wouldn't just be imprisoned but shot.

"The Xiao Family doesn't lack 108,000 RMB, but they have the right to ask for compensation. After all, why should they suffer for the mistake made by the culprit?

"108,000 RMB might look like a lot, but no one is asking them to pay the debt in one go. They can pay in installments. Don't tell me they can't even do that?

"That's simply shameful!

"Is this how you want to educate your younger generation? When you do something wrong, instead of admitting to it, you should push the blame to someone else?

"I'm telling you, people who have such thoughts will never be able to get rich!"

The villagers were shocked by Old Master Gong's last sentence. People who shirk responsibility will never be rich.

All the villagers hoped that their children would be successful and rich. Of course, they had to set the best example for them.

Old Master Gong continued, "Big Sister Li, I think you shouldn't worry about them. If they really don't want to pay compensation, then we can only ask the court to enforce liquidation."
