Chapter 323: Compensation

Translator: Lonelytree
Xiao Lingyu directly asked them to pay the debt.
“No, that’s impossible!” Xiao Chengcai’s mother jumped out and said angrily, “Why should I give my family’s money to you? Besides, didn’t the court say my family could pay in installments? Then we’ll pay in installments.”
Xiao Lingyu sneered, “Grandma Chen, the court said you could pay in installments when your family doesn’t have the money. But now that you do, you can pay me directly.”
Grandma Chen was stunned, and a sense of panic rose in her heart. She would rather die than have Xiao Lingyu take her family’s money.
Grandma Chen immediately sat on the ground and cried with both her hands on her thighs, “Wicked girl, are you trying to kill us? In that case, I might as well die. That way, I won’t live to see my family being scammed!
“God, please open your eyes. Someone is evil and wants to destroy my poor famil
Everyone was speechless.
In the past, there were still people who felt sympathy and pity for Xiao Chengcai’s family. After all, Zhang Xiaolan was imprisoned, and they had to compensate a large sum of money.
However, after Xiao Chengcai divorced Zhang Xiaolan, the villagers were disgusted. Now, they leaned that Xiao Chengcai had earned a large sum of money after selling out the Little Cattle King. The disgust grew.
“Tsay, Chen Wuhua, stop wailing and crying. No one will sympathize with you and pity you,” said Zhang Chunxiang’s grandmother. “Your family has done those awful things, so this is just karma.”
Xiao Chengcai’s mother immediately stopped and scolded Zhang Chunxiang’s grandmother angrily, “What awful things have we done? We merely told someone about an animal? How is that wrong?”
The rotten apple didn’t fall far from the rotten tree.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at Xiao Chengcai’s mother and said, “Grandma Chen, you have to pay because you’ve done something wrong. You can’t wiggle your way out of it. I will go to the court and update them about your family’s monetary situation!”
‘When Xiao Chengcai’s mother and Xiao Chengcai heard this, they were slightly stunned.
Just as they were about to make a scene, Xiao Lingyu said directly, “That’s right, we can’t do anything to you. However, do you know why the demolition team came today? It was all because of you!”
The last sentence was cold and harsh.
This sentence shocked everyone present.
Then, someone reacted and asked, “Lingyu, what exactly is going on?”
“Right, how is this related to that?”
Everyone surrounded Xiao Lingyu and asked.
The village chief waved his hand to stop everyone from asking further. He said, “Everyone, quiet down! We will explain this clearly. Return to your seats!”
Everyone obliged. After everyone quieted down, Xiao Lingyu said, “Originally, the developer had his eyes on the soil in Taoyuan Village. He wanted to occupy this land. However, when his people came to Taoyuan Village to inquire, they acquired the village’s agricultural secret from Uncle Chengcai.
“Therefore, the developer changed their target from the village to the Little Cattle King.”
Some villagers didn’t understand and asked, “If their target is the Little Cattle King, why would they come up with a tourism development plan?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “That’s because they need a legitimate excuse. Tourism development is their best excuse. Moreover, they know that the true value of the Little Cattle King cannot be revealed. Therefore, they needed a cover story to occupy Taoyuan Village.
“At the end of the day, they needed Taoyuan Village to start their own farms!”
The villagers somewhat understood.
But…
“Why couldn’t they steal the Little Cattle King and start a farm elsewhere?” Someone asked doubtfully.
“Because Taoyuan Village has made a brand out of fresh fruits and vegetables.” Xiao Lingyu said, “They want to take over our established reputation.”
However, they still didn’t quite understand.
“Lingyu, so what if they want to develop Taoyuan Village? You have the Little Cattle King. Can’t you bring him away with you?”
Xiao Lingyu chuckled mirthlessly. “Do you think they will let me? These are big bosses, and we are mere villagers. It’ll be easy for them to force my family to leave Little Light behind.
“You saw the dangerous and fierce demolition team yourself. If it weren’t for Mr. Gong’s bodyguards, do you think we would be able to stop them from storming into the village today?”
The scene was silent!
This time, they understood.
Those people’s real goal was the Little Cattle King!
They wanted the Little Cattle King, and to do that, they decided to take over the entire Taoyuan Village.
Therefore, this ordeal started because of the Little Cattle King.
“If they are serious about developing Taoyuan Village into a tourist destination, they would have followed the procedure. They would give everyone a large sum of compensation too. However, they clearly didn’t do that. They just wanted to take advantage of us,” Xiao Lingyu concluded.
“Then Lingyu, does that mean that they will come back to demolish the village again?” Someone asked worriedly.
“That’s right, Lingyu. Will that happen?”
Everyone asked anxiously.
This was the land they had lived on for their entire lives. They definitely couldn’t let someone demolish the house just like that.
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I don’t know either.”
Hearing Xiao Lingyu’s answer, many of the villagers were disappointed.
Suddenly, someone asked Gong Tianhao carefully, “Young Master Gong, will those people come back?”
Gong Tianhao had the aura of a king. When most of the villagers saw him, they were a little afraid and fearful.
Gong Tianhao said lightly, “I don’t know either. However, don’t worry. If they dare to come back, I’ll have people chase them away.”
“Okay. Thank you, Young Master Gong.”
Someone nodded.
“Yes, with Young Master Gong’s words, we can sleep peacefully.”
They were relieved.
In their eyes, Young Master Gong was very powerful.
Gong Tianhao supported Xiao Lingyu and didn’t say anything else.
Then, his sharp gaze landed on Xiao Chengcai and Xiao Chengcai’s mother’s faces as he said coldly, “Xiao Chengcai, I advise you to obediently take out all the money and pay your debt. Otherwise, you can go in and accompany your wife.”
Hearing this, Xiao Chengcai’s face suddenly turned pale. He suppressed the panic in his heart and said nervously, “lL… I didn’t commit any crime. Why would I go to jail?”
Wen Zi kindly reminded him, “Uncle Chengcai, that’s wrong. You did commit a crime.”
Xiao Chengcai was stunned and asked in disbelief, “What crime did I commit?”
“You committed the crime of divulging trade secrets!”
Wen Zi directly explained to him, “According to article 219 of the criminal law of China, whoever causes serious losses to the person with the right to trade secrets shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or a single fine.
“Whoever causes especially serious consequences shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and fined.
“Yours is the latter. You’ll be both fined and jailed.”
With this, Xiao Chengcai’s face turned ashen.
He could not believe it. This… This was also a crime?
“No, no, this is impossible!” Xiao Chengcai’s mother suddenly got up from the ground and cried out in shock, “You’re framing us. You’re in cahoots with Xiao Lingyu. You’re just trying to trick us into giving her the money, aren’t you?”
She pointed her finger at Xiao Lingyu and then said angrily to Xiao Lingyu, “Xiao Lingyu, you bitch. Will you only be happy when my family falls apart? Why can’t you let my family go? Are you that ruthless?”
‘When Gong Tianhao heard the words “Bitch”, a ruthless light flashed across his eyes.
‘This old woman has too good of a life!”
‘Wen Zi stood in front of Xiao Lingyu and shouted at Xiao Chengcai’s mother, “Your family did something wrong, so who are you trying to blame?
“Let’s recount them. First, your daughter-in-law. Why did she start the fire? If she didn’t, she wouldn’t need to land your family in debt.
“Second, your son. The Little Cattle King is a secret that belongs to the Xiao Family and the Taoyuan Village. However, he sold it for profit. So why are you making a fuss now?”
