Although Zhang Dabao was indeed a bastard, he didn't deserve to be killed, after all, this is a society governed by law.
Upon hearing Old Man Li's inquiry, Wu Xiaoshan frowned and said, "What he did endangered the interests of the entire village; he must apologize to everyone face to face and promise to reform and never make the same mistakes again."
Originally, when Zhang Dabao saw Elder Li asking for Wu Xiaoshan's opinion,
he felt certain that Wu Xiaoshan would not let him off the hook.
To his surprise, Wu Xiaoshan simply said he had to apologize in front of the entire village.
"Xiaoshan, thank you. It was all my fault before, I promise not to trouble you again in the future or cause trouble for the villagers," Zhang Dabao said, teary with gratitude, and proceeded to kowtow three times to Wu Xiaoshan.
"All right, as long as you are willing to admit your mistake, I think the villagers will certainly forgive you considering old times," Wu Xiaoshan replied.
