The shield coordination meeting between the two families was held as scheduled three days later. Except for the village secretary Liang Yong, who was still hospitalized and could not participate, all the other village cadres at home participated as third-party mediators.

The mediation took place in the room of an old conference room in Shanghu Village. Wang Jinmei, the village women's director, went to clean the meeting room a day in advance, scrubbing the tables, chairs and stools.

In order to prevent conflicts between the parties on both sides in the conference room. The village cadres carefully arranged the placement of the table in advance, and they arranged the conference table into an oval pattern to reasonably arrange the seating positions of the two families. And the positions of Xu Yunqin and Fang Caili were also adjusted accordingly, and these cadres took into account all possible contradictions and conflicts, so Xu Yunqin and Fang Caili's positions were arranged as far away from Fang Yunqing's side as possible.

On the morning of the mediation, both parties were also present: the woman's representatives were Fang Yunqing, Fang Qiuping and his eldest son-in-law Xu Zhihai; The man's representatives are Xu Zhiguo, his friend Xu Yunhe, and his relative's brother-in-law Zhang Yaoming, and the two sides are equal in numbers. The people on both sides sat separately at the table, and the cadres were also interspersed in two groups between the two families. Fang Rende was arranged to sit at the central table as the main mediator of the cadres today. Xu Yunqin and Fang Caili were also found to sit at another table far away from the families on both sides.

Fang Yunqing had already seen Fang Caili and Xu Yunqin coming in from outside. As soon as the two of them appeared, they couldn't control and rushed over to scold and stretch out their hands to hit someone, but they were stopped by their son Fang Qiuping. The village cadres were loudly reprimanding Fang Yunqing for his rude behavior. They clearly told Fang Yunqing that if he couldn't control his emotions, then there were only two options today: either he himself withdrew from the mediation, and his son and son-in-law were fully represented, and the mediation would continue without repentance afterwards; Either directly terminate the mediation, and everyone protects Fang Caili and Xu Yunqin to evacuate safely. Fang Qiuping and the eldest son-in-law both blamed Fang Yunqing's excesses, and hoped that everyone would believe that they had come to solve the problem in good faith, so mediation began.

Fang Rende asked everyone to express their opinions and suggestions first, and then he began to inquire about the parties. Fang Rende asked Fang Caili to start speaking first, Fang Caili stood up and said boldly: "Today I am facing my father, brother and brother-in-law, and the cadres of the whole village, I solemnly state: I Caili and Xu Yunqin are in love with each other, and the love for each other is out of the will of the two of us, and no one coerces and forces us to do this, I believe that my love with Yunqin is very pure and very beautiful." ”

Fang Yunqing lost control of his emotions again, only to see him yelling and screaming for a while, crying and laughing for a while. He pointed at his daughter and cried and scolded angrily: "Hmph! Are you my daughter? It's really my good daughter, I never thought that you would be so inhuman, you are unfaithful and unfilial, abandon your father, brother and sister-in-law, and sister and brother. Fang Caili, you have lost all the face of our ancestors. Your mother's bones are still cold, and you have done such a rebellious thing, and you are still ashamed to preach to me here, I really want to find a crack in the ground to get into. ”

Fang Rende's expressionless face persuaded the other party Yunqing and said: "Yunqing, you have to calm down, everyone gathered together today to solve practical problems, neither a grievance and grievance meeting, nor a criticism and trial meeting. I am not criticizing you as a member of the Fang family, but as a village cadre, I am telling you that your current behavior is hindering our understanding and judgment of the truth of the matter. You are so impulsive and only care about yourself, can you calm down, and when it is your turn to speak, you will put all your demands on the table, so that everyone can understand and analyze it? Otherwise, we won't be able to mediate for this? After all, things need to be viewed in a positive and beautiful direction. Today, we should try our best to properly handle the problem and solve it, instead of aggravating and intensifying the contradictions. ”

Fang Yunqing wanted to refute, but was stopped by his eldest son-in-law with a gesture, Xu Zhihai said to his father-in-law: "Father-in-law, don't go on messing around like this, okay?" Now it is difficult for both parties to sit at the table and deal with the problem. The village cadres have also squeezed out time for us in their busy schedules, and if you make a fuss again, you will push all the reasonableness to the ignorance, do you think about it yourself? If you don't treat this matter calmly, do you want to let the village cadres come forward to mediate the dispute for you? ”

Fang Qiuping also apologized to everyone for his father's failure to control his emotions. In this way, Fang Yunqing became a loner, and he had no choice but to stop messing around.

After the venue fell silent, Fang Rende began to let Xu Yunqin stand up and speak. Xu Yunqin expressed his deep gratitude to the village cadres for attaching so much importance to him and Fang Caili: "I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and encouragement to me and Caili, and I sincerely thank everyone. ”

"Fang Caili and I are childhood sweethearts, a pair of lovers who love each other, here I would like to express my personal attitude: from now on, I and Caili will respect each other like guests and never separate. After my union with Fang Caili, I will also honor both fathers and elders to show the kindness of our parents in raising us. After Yun Qin finished speaking, he bowed deeply to everyone.

Everyone applauded to express their recognition and support for Xu Yunqin's statement this time, and even the eldest brother-in-law Xu Zhihai symbolically slapped his palms a few times, and was quickly stopped by Fang Qiuping's dissatisfied eyes.

Fang Rende made a specific analysis of the amount of economic compensation proposed by Fang Yunqing, he suggested that the woman's parents could appropriately increase the amount of economic compensation, thinking that it was not easy for Fang's parents to raise their daughter, criticizing Fang Caili and Xu Yunqin's elopement caused harm to the Fang family, in order to punish Fang Caili Xu Yunqin for this wrong behavior, Fang Rende believes that Xu Yunqin and Fang Caili should bear this responsibility.

Xu Zhiguo, as Xu Yunqin's parent, did not restrain and educate his children well, and he must also bear certain responsibilities. Xu Zhiguo compensated Fang Yunqing for Xu Yunqin, and Fang Caili, as a child of the Fang family, must apologize to her father and brother, but she does not bear financial compensation.

The economic compensation is apportioned according to the responsibility, Xu Yunqin and Fang Caili apologized and repented to the three members of the Fang family on the spot, and the village cadres supported the young couple's love behavior. Xu Zhiguo should make economic compensation to Fang Yunqing's side, and the two sides should first negotiate and agree on the amount of compensation, and then the village cadres will participate in the negotiation and propose a specific amount reasonably. Considering the harm caused to the young man and woman to the other family, the amount of economic compensation can be appropriately increased, but the village cadres also oppose the Fang family's exorbitant price for this, which is unreasonable.

The village cadres persuaded all the women to recognize the fact that even if they forced their daughters and sons-in-law to come up with unreasonable huge sums of money, from another point of view, they would damage the happiness of their daughters and sons-in-law in the second half of their lives. The village is strongly opposed to such an approach by the woman's parents. Besides, the economic conditions of the man's family do not allow them to deceive like this.

In the end, Fang Qiuping and his brother-in-law also cut down the amount of money a lot, and both sides signed the agreement, and the village cadres, as mediators, also signed their names on the agreement and pressed bright red handprints.

Fang Caili and her father have not spoken a word since the mediation ended that night, and she began her career as a new daughter-in-law in the Xu family. Although Xu Zhiguo got a young and beautiful daughter-in-law, he didn't see him in a good mood. He was almost nervous under the pressure of huge money and foreign debts, and sat at home all day sighing and shaking his head.

Sometimes when others joke with him, he thinks that others are making fun of him, so he will be anxious with others, so that the neighbors dare not talk to him anymore. Fang Caili is a scheming person, and she has long seen Xu Zhiguo's attitude, so she said to Xu Yunqin: "Yunqin, I see that your father sighs all day long, obviously expressing dissatisfaction with us staying at home all day and not making money." We have to figure out how to make money to pay off our debts, otherwise, if we continue like this, it will definitely cause family conflicts. You go and discuss with your parents to see if they can lend us a little money for the journey, and it is better for us and my wife to go out to work. ”

Xu Yunqin said calmly: "Caili, don't worry too much, although my dad is sad, he is still good to us, he doesn't have any opinion of us, it is estimated that he is indeed a little worried about the debt he owes now." Fang Caili continued: "You usually don't pay attention to your father's behavior, of course I don't know your father's attitude towards us, I can feel it, everything else must be secondary, when the economic pressure increases, people will have an unbalanced mentality." ”

Xu Yunqin felt that Fang Caili was determined to go out to work, so he had to bring up the matter of his plan to take Caili out to work. Jin Xiaoju persuaded her son: "You just got married, I will discuss with Caili, don't go out for the time being, let's talk about it after a while." ”

Xu Zhiguo felt that his son's idea was good, he supported them to go out and explore, he said to Xu Yunqin: "Yunqin, if you have such a thought, I will definitely support you, if you don't say it, I will also prepare the travel expenses for the two of you, you let Caili rest assured, I will definitely solve the travel expenses for you." ”

Yun Qin expressed his gratitude for his father's words: "Dad, since you support me like this, I will definitely go out and work hard outside to make money, and I will share the responsibility for the family." ”

Xu Zhiguo said happily: "You just wait, I borrowed the travel expenses, and you will go out to work immediately. ”

Jin Xiaoju was dissatisfied with her husband's behavior, but since Yun Qin and Caili proposed to go out to work by themselves, they only complained about their husbands and stopped objecting. Xu Zhiguo borrowed money, and Jin Xiaoju handed over all the money to Fang Caili's hands: "Caili, mom is sorry for you, you just got married and couldn't bear to let you go out to work, I feel uncomfortable, but you insist on going out, mom is not easy to object, you must pay more attention to your health and safety when you go out, mom doesn't ask you how much money you make to go home, as long as the two of you are outside and you are happy with Meimei, loving and loving mother." Fang Caili wiped away her tears and said: "Mom, you are my mother now, I will take care of myself and Yunqin, you can rest assured, Yunqin and I will also work hard to make money and send it home to pay off our debts, we are leaving, you should take care of your health at home." ”
