BXBX NOVEL Chapter 390: 390 Qingyue loses money 4
“Second Uncle, are you nuts, voluntarily reducing the money,” Liu Dayou couldn’t bear it anymore, “If my second Aunt found out, she’ll scold you to death!”
“But your second Aunt was also at fault…”
“Anyway, the Xiao Family must compensate five taels of silver! Otherwise, we will sue…” Liu Dayou stood his ground, unwilling to let the silver slip away. They had agreed to give him fifty percent of the compensation, three taels would only get him one and a half taels, whereas five taels would get him two and a half taels, almost double the amount. Only a fool would take less.
Su Qingyue gave Liu Dayou a look, “If you want to go, go ahead. I suppose if Liu Laoshi really did get the money from me, he would share the benefits with you. Otherwise, why would you be so enthusiastic?”
“You…” His intentions being seen through, Liu Dayou became furious, “What benefit could I get? My second Aunt was bullied by you, I’m helping my second Uncle to fight for justice. As a nephew, it’s right and proper for me to help my Second Uncle!”
“If you want to sue, I won’t waste my breath arguing.” She glanced at Liu Laoshi, “Uncle Liu, I thought you were not so heartless, so I’ll give you a heads-up. That day, my second and third brothers were unconscious, and Liu Zhengshi was gloating on the side. That’s fine, but when I asked her to leave the room and stop interfering, she refused. I had no choice but to kick her out, and I ‘accidentally’ used a bit too much force, all because she was delaying treatment for my brothers. Speaking of which, my brothers’ injuries were indeed worsened because of her, and they almost died. If we end up in court, you might not necessarily win, and you could even end up having to compensate me.”
After hearing this, Yishan and Yuchuan were both deeply moved. So, she had kicked Liu Zhengshi out for their sake.
Listening to Su Qingyue’s analysis, Liu Laoshi became scared, “I think we should not sue…”
Liu Dayou, not wanting to see his silver slip away, said, “Dashan and Chuan are fine now. Who would believe your version?”
Su Qingyue smirked, “By your reasoning, just because my second and third brothers are fine now, no one will believe that your second Aunt, Liu Zhengshi, almost killed them. Then, who would believe that I kicked your second Aunt?” “Many villagers saw it.” He emphasized.
She shrugged, “That settles it then. Many villagers also witnessed how your second Aunt was wasting my time while I was trying to save lives. They also saw how she was gloating in front of severely injured and ill people. As long as the county magistrate is reasonable, you won’t get a single cent.”
This time, Liu Dayou had nothing to rebut, his face turned pale.
Liu Laoshi was not a bad person, “Wife of the Xiao Family, we’re in the wrong, I think we should drop this…”
“Second Uncle, how can you just drop this… You, you… If you don’t get the compensation, how will you explain to my second Aunt?”
“Actually…” Liu Laoshi started fearfully, “The villagers have been saying that my wife deserved it, when such a big accident happened at Xiao’s house, she still acted like that…”
“She really is a hopeless case. I’m done with you. Do whatever you want!” Liu Dayou stormed off in anger.
Su Qingyue didn’t stop him but said to Liu Laoshi, “I thought you were an honest man. Your nephew is the one who can’t be helped. What benefit fee did he ask of you this time around? Anything more than ten percent, he’s a black-hearted one. If he’s just trying to help, then he can be counted as someone with a conscience. With his appetite, I reckon he would want to divide half of your so-called compensation. If you want money, earn it yourself, don’t think of extorting others all the time. Let me tell you the truth….”
