Chapter 1039: Compensation Mediation >
the nearby spirits away every so often, or else something bad would happen, so after Lanly informed everyone, he too disappeared into thin air.Bart beckoned to several people, then walked toward the b...The older policeman blushed, but he still mustered the courage to say:
"Grandpa, please don't get excited. We certainly won't condone wrongdoing, but we hope the family will make amends."
Ripples, upon hearing this, finally withdrew the madness in her eyes, but she still wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said:
Compensation What are they going to offer in compensation for a life That was my son, the father of two children, the pillar of our family.
My daughter-in-law's child in her belly is pitiful, not even able to see his own father.
As she talked, it seemed sorrow welled up again, and she began to cry. This caused her baby in her arms to cry as well.
Now Dabao understands what his father's departure means. He is very frightened, and only in grandma's arms can he feel a glimmer of comfort. Even his mother can't give him a sense of security.
Children are very perceptive. He can feel that ever since his mother became pregnant, she hasn't been as loving towards him as before, and even began to resent his father. This time, it was because of a quarrel between his parents that his mother went back to her maternal grandparents' house alone.
Yu Meifeng was also crying, but her eyes were darting around, as if she was secretly scheming something.
The three Song siblings were truly heartbroken and cried with their mother.
After the ripples had done their performance, Yu Meifeng finally spoke:
"Mom, Qingshan is gone. What are we three going to do The child hasn't been born yet. For the unborn child, his family must also compensate. Death is cheap for him."
This time, Lian Yi did not retort against Yu Mei Feng. She stroked Da Bao's head and said to the older officer:
"I see they can, but you policemen must be present, I'm afraid their family might threaten us."
Of course, we will definitely be there.
The senior officer immediately stated.
"Meifeng, you take Dabao and me to see them." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The ripples told Yumei Feng.
Yu Mei-feng nodded, supported herself with the table and stood up. She gave her father a reassuring look before following her mother-in-law, led by the police, into another house.
A middle-aged couple was sitting in the room, dressed in plain but high-quality official robes. Their attire clearly indicated their wealth, but both of them had a somber expression on their faces. Seeing the elderly woman and her companions, they immediately stood up.
"I hear you guys want to see me. Whatever it is, say it to my face, in front of the cops!"
Ripples was the first to speak.
"Aunt, it was my child who made a mistake, but he didn't do it on purpose."
A middle-aged woman explained in a rather pale manner.
"Auntie, if I killed your son and said I didn't mean to, how would you feel"
R ripples said coldly.
Without waiting for a reply, she continued:
I'm just a housewife, I don't know much, but I understand the principle of an eye for an eye.
"This is my grandson, and this is my daughter-in-law. She's pregnant. Your son ran someone over and killed them! How will this family, with all these old people, children, and a pregnant woman, survive Can you take care of my grandchildren Can you support this family"
The middle-aged couple was robbed of their dignity by the ripples. Their expressions weren't good, but they also knew that their son was in the wrong now. If they angered this family, they were barefoot and fearless. If they persisted, their son's life would truly be in danger.
The middle-aged man who had been silent all along saw his wife being put in her place, so he could only stand up and say:
"This elder sister, you are right. We don't want to shield the child either. When mistakes are made, they should be punished. As parents, we also have a responsibility."
"Your family is in this situation again, and we just want to compensate your family, as a way of making up for our guilt."
Ripples looked at the speaking man. This man hadn't appeared in her past life. Their family had only entrusted that elderly officer, giving the Song family a sum of money and manipulating things to sweep the matter under the rug.
The Song family was in chaos back then, thinking that it's better to avoid trouble than to cause it, so they didn't investigate further in the end. But now she's here, she's definitely going to tear a piece of flesh from the other party.
"I think this gentleman is very knowledgeable, and I presume you are also an official, otherwise you wouldn't have someone speak on your behalf. So, I'll listen. How do you plan to compensate us"
Ripple gave the older officer a cursory glance and then found a sofa to sit down on, gesturing for Yu Meifeng to join her.
Yu Meifeng knew her mother-in-law's power. Now that she was at the forefront, Yu Meifeng obediently acted as a backdrop, just wiping her tears constantly. So whenever her mother-in-law gave her a look, she would hold her waist and sit on the sofa beside her.
"Elder sister, do you think this will work Your grandchildren are still young. Our family will support them until they graduate from high school, and then we'll find two suitable jobs for each child. We'll also give you ten yuan per month for living expenses. What do you think"
The man spoke first.
This condition is already quite good, after all, there's no inflation from future generations now, so the purchasing power of money is very strong.
But ripples wasn't a fool, she just let out a cold snort and said:
“Sir, are you painting me a pie in the sky Supporting two children's education is something that happens years from now. My eldest child is only five years old and not yet of school age. My grandson hasn't even been born yet – at least six years before he can go to school. Before then, you expect me to raise two children with just ten dollars Are you foolish or am I”
This thing will be forgotten in a year or two, except for me, the mother. Who else remembers that the two children lost their father If you turn your back on us and deny it, who am I going to ask for child support
Both sides were speechless, surprised that their previous plans had all fallen through. They had spent half the day discussing it and it really seemed like they had a plan.
Since they weren't from Qing Shan Town anyway, they gave them a couple of years' worth of money upfront. After the matter died down and they got their son out, they just left, and that old woman couldn't find them anymore.
But the police officer who had previously helped mediate the situation had already tipped them off. If things weren't handled well, this old woman would take it all the way up the chain. Since the special event had just ended, they were also afraid of making a mistake and falling back to where they started. So they could only switch to a more conciliatory strategy, but now it seemed that this old woman was very shrewd and wouldn't buy their act.
"Big sister, what do you want to do"
"Since this is compensation, I'll give you a number. You can give it if you can, and we won't force you if you can't. But your son must pay with his life."
"If you can afford it, I'll write a letter of understanding, at least saving your son's life. In the future, if you have the ability to get him out, we won't interfere. But the two families had better not meet again, and don't make me regret my decision now."
The middle-aged couple looked at each other, then back at the ripples. The man spoke:
"Big sister, tell me a number."
"Ten thousand yuan!"
"What"
The woman looked utterly astonished, thinking that the ripples were asking for a king's ransom.
"How is it Feeling sorry for him now Even better, I originally just wanted your son to pay with his life for my son!"
Ripples snarled.
Then he stood up directly and said to Yu Mei-feng:
Let's go!
Dabao, holding onto grandma's hand, glared angrily at the two of them. It was their son who had killed her father.
"Wait a minute!" soon as possible."Lady Hòu had long since patched things up with Sun's Nanny, so she came up with a strategic retreat."Mother, I've thought it over. I'm willing to marry in place of my younger sister...
