Some things, when done in secret, may seem unnoticed. But now, with the village head personally investigating and even bringing village elders to testify, Wu Si couldn't possibly deny it.
His idea was simple, offer some compensation, and send Qin Niu on his way.
This was also his habitual arrogant thinking at play; he hadn't fully accepted Qin Niu's assertive rise.
In the eyes of people like Big Sister Mo and Wu Si, even if Qin Niu had become somewhat more formidable, he was still just a slightly improved version of the old foolish Ah Niu.
"So now you're publicly admitting to the encroachment of Old Man Liu's house foundation land, right?"
Xu Zhenchang asked.
"I did take up a bit of it."
Under pressure, Wu Si had no choice but to concede.
"You've taken a whole yard and three feet wide of his land, and you call that a bit?"
Xu Zhenchang challenged him.
"I'm willing to compensate; please Master Qin and the village head be generous."
Wu Si bowed and scraped repeatedly.
