Ah Zhuang was at a loss for what to do. He figured that paying a fine would be better than ending up at the police station.

He turned to Aunt Yang and said, “I’m sorry, Aunt Yang. I was young and impulsive, and I had a bit too much to drink. I wasn’t thinking clearly. Please tell me how much your belongings cost, and I’ll reimburse you.” He didn’t think her possessions were worth much anyway, considering they were all old and worn out.

Gu Zi didn’t want to waste any more time. She pulled out a list and said, “I’ve already asked Aunt Yang to list the items that need to be compensated. A wooden door, a cotton quilt, a table, a bowl of peanuts, a bowl of rice porridge… all these, plus the emotional distress caused by the late-night fright, will cost you 30 yuan. Pay this to Aunt Yang, and we can consider the matter settled.”

Ah Zhuang’s eyes widened in disbelief when he heard the amount he had to pay. “What? All those worthless things cost 30 yuan?” He stared at Gu Zi’s list, belatedly realizing that he might have been tricked. The amount was almost equivalent to his monthly salary.

Su Shen, noticing Ah Zhuang’s hostile gaze, stepped in between him and Gu Zi, protecting the latter. He said in a stern voice, “Either we settle it this way, or we report it to the police. It’s your choice. If you can’t afford to pay now, we can deduct 30 yuan from your salary this month. Just sign here and let the village chief witness it.”

He then produced a document that Gu Zi had prepared, a declaration of Ah Zhuang’s voluntary apology and compensation to Aunt Yang. Gu Zi was right; Ah Zhuang was full of tricks. Having him sign a written apology and posting it on the village office’s notice board would prevent him from causing trouble or spreading rumors about this incident in the future.

Ah Zhuang looked at the declaration in front of him, feeling both angry and resentful. However, he had no reason or courage to refuse to sign it. He didn’t dare to act recklessly in front of Su Shen.

After signing, he stood up, dragging his wooden stool across the floor, creating a loud, grating noise that echoed his frustration. He asked, “Brother Shen, did you and your wife intentionally scare me? I’m also an employee at the factory. Aren’t you being biased?
