Chapter 82 [Make an Offer]
Hearing that his wife had burned her feet was a heavy blow in rural areas, because the climate in India is very hot. In addition, the sanitary conditions in rural areas are not very good, and there are mosquitoes and flies everywhere. Burns, especially large-area burns, will cause blisters, and the skin will fall off and the soft tissue inside will be exposed, which is very easy to be infected by bacteria.
Therefore, burns in rural India are a very serious accident, with a mortality rate of 20%. Of course, most of these mortality rates are caused by infection. In addition, the economic conditions in rural areas are not very good, and few people can afford treatment costs, so burns are timely to avoid the risk of infection after recovery. There is also a high probability of disability. In rural India, disability and inability to do physical work will put the family into endless difficulties, whether it is men or women.
Fortunately, my wife was burned in Singh Building Materials Store, and Singh Building Materials Store would not stand idly by. It is not easy to send my wife to the hospital for treatment. Of course, the male host must be present to coordinate some things, so he quickly put down the plate in his hand. He explained in detail to his newly married concubine and his eldest daughter who could be half the family, and then went to the cabinet of the straw shed where the family lived to find the few thousand rupees left in the house, and then followed the store manager Weir to get on the truck.
Along the way, Harsuk asked in detail about his wife's condition and whether it was serious. But the store manager Weir always avoided the question. Without a direct answer, he came to the town instead of going directly to the only Chinese and Western hospital in the town, but came to the commercial street and returned to Singh Building Materials Store. Harsuk felt puzzled, but still followed the store manager Weir in.
He came to the office on the second floor and sat on the leather sofa that he had not sat on for more than 40 years and asked anxiously. "Mr. Weir, my wife Lamasuk was sent to the hospital? Let's go now. I want to see how my wife was injured."
In the office, there were only the old butler Jamal, and Weir brought two very strong staff members to face Harsuk, who still didn't understand the situation. "Mr. Suk, I'm sorry, I lied to you. Didn't your wife's feet get burned? But there was indeed an accident. I hope you can calmly negotiate with us to resolve this matter. After all, if the matter gets out of hand, it will not be a glorious thing for you or our Singh family."
"I hope you can calm down after hearing what happened. If you have any requests, just mention that our Singh family can satisfy you. But if you want to be a rogue, you also know how powerful the Singh family is. We can talk to you properly or not. If the talk fails, you must know what the consequences will be."
These words are both intimidating and threatening. Will did this just to protect the interests of the Singh family. As for the untouchables like the Suk family, he can't control their life or death. One is conscience, and the other is his own future. It goes without saying which one he needs to choose.
Hearing these words, Harsuk felt that the situation was serious. He was a fool to let Mr. Will, the powerful manager of the building materials store, personally run to Wula Village to pick him up, and then say these threatening words. He could hear that something big had happened.
Sure enough, after the store manager Weir finished speaking, he signaled a staff member to go downstairs and call up Almushar, who had finally recovered. The abuser was asked to face the victim's husband and tell him what happened, and apologized proactively. Although Harsukh was not well-educated, he had some experience in using a tricycle to transport goods in the town.
Knowing that impulsiveness has no good results, impulsiveness always makes the Shudras suffer, so he needs to calm down. After careful observation, the young man who was scratched into a bloody gourd by his wife's resistance had some characteristics in his words and deeds, and he concluded in his heart that the abuser was of the same caste as himself, that is, Shudra.
If you are not a noble master, why should I be polite to you? Although you are richer than me, I am not afraid. What's more, we are the victims who are right. Although I dare not compete with the Singh family, I can't touch you, a servant of the Singh family.
So Harsuk, who felt humiliated, jumped up from the sofa just after hearing half of the story, intending to show the violence to the abuser his courage and dignity as a man. But before he could do anything, the thin Harsuk was pressed back on the sofa by two strong young men. This experience made Harsuk sober up all of a sudden.
Seeing the silent noble housekeeper and the young store manager looking at him unkindly, Harsuk suddenly realized. Why did the other party pick him up at night, why didn't they have the opportunity to call the police directly, and what was the purpose of trapping him and his wife in this building materials store? Harsuk knew everything.
This was the Singh family's demonstration to him. The Singh family wanted to protect the abuser Almushar, saying that they wanted him to negotiate conditions. It was just to give him some hush money so that he and his wife would no longer pursue the legal responsibility of the abuser. The enemy was strong and I was weak. I was just a man riding a tricycle to transport goods. Facing the Singh family, which even the mayor was afraid of, I had no chance of winning.
It's better to be pragmatic, otherwise neither he nor his wife can go out. Although the other party is very domineering, he also gave him the reason to ask for compensation. He himself asked to go out first, so Harsuk, who had calmed down, wiped the cold sweat on his head and stammered.
"My request is very simple, just let my wife Lamasuk be safe and sound."
The old housekeeper nodded after hearing this request, and asked another male staff member to go downstairs. Not long after, he heard the crying and struggling of a woman downstairs in the office. Then when the door was opened with footsteps, a woman from the clothing department was dragged in. Harsuk recognized her at a glance. This was his wife. After the two couples met, they hugged each other and cried bitterly.
After a long time, Harsuk calmed down and made his second request. "The second request is to block the news. I don't want to become a laughing stock among the men in the town. I also don't want my wife to face great public pressure and finally choose to commit suicide."
This request is relatively reliable. The Singh family is afraid of the public pressure of more than one million people around Sinjar Town. What's more, a rural Shudra family facing such social pressure will drive people crazy. However, this request seems simple, but are those people watching the excitement downstairs blind?
As the saying goes, the eyes of the masses are sharp, and paper cannot cover fire, so these busybodies caught the handle. It is impossible to suppress the pressure of public opinion. In less than three days, more than one million people around Sinjar Town will know about the scandal of Singh Building Materials Store.
