In her previous life, to escape confiscation and liquidation, Cen Yan married her stepmother's niece's son at the urging of her family.
She thought she could escape a calamity, but wh...
Chapter 371 Pay Five Hundred Yuan
Cen Yan inwardly cried out in alarm and quickly followed to avoid causing any trouble.
"What are you doing here?" Qi Jingchuan glanced at the large group of people kneeling in front of the door, his tone sending chills down everyone's spines, especially the leader, Yu Qingguo, who had just been released from the dark room, and was trembling like a leaf.
"I, I, we heard that Comrade Cen Yan is back. The hemorrhage that day wasn't because of a miscarriage, it was, it was her period. Jingchuan, my mother is old. She was locked up in the cell for three days and fainted five times. The leaders had no choice but to allow her to go home and stay at home."
"Now that Comrade Cen Yan is alright, how about we settle our scores and resolve our differences..."
He swallowed hard and quickly stopped talking. Qi Jingchuan's gaze was too oppressive for him, so he pushed Tian Ying, who was kneeling next to him, with all his might.
"Mom! Say something! This is your only chance!"
Tian Ying was filled with remorse and panicked, saying, "I'm sorry, Comrade Xiao Qi, it's my fault. I shouldn't have stolen your family's pork cracklings, and I especially shouldn't have hit you over a little pork cracklings. Comrade Xiao Cen, I..."
The words stuck in her throat, unable to be finished, when Qi Jingchuan coldly interrupted her, his tone unfriendly.
"Since you heard we're back and that the hemorrhage wasn't due to pregnancy or miscarriage, you only listen to what's good for you. You can't even hear my wife say in front of so many people that she needs to rest, and you still come to bother her?"
"Besides," Qi Jingchuan glanced at the Yu family's empty-handed appearance, "they came empty-handed, thinking they could get away with it with just a few words, turning a big problem into a small one, and a small problem into nothing?"
“Although my wife didn’t miscarry, who knows if Tian Ying was planning to kill her when she pushed me like that! This is clearly murder!”
"In my opinion, it would be more appropriate to send this kind of malicious potential murderer to a farm for reform or to a prison cell."
Qi Jingchuan's tone was clear and even, but every word was forceful and clear, which frightened Tian Ying so much that her face turned pale and she felt like her soul was about to fly out of her body.
She hurriedly waved her hands, "No, it's not murder, don't send me to jail, I, my family is willing to compensate Xiao Cen, yes, compensate... Qingguo, please speak up for your mother!"
Qi Jingchuan sneered. They hurt his wife and ruined his good time. Who cares about the Yu family's compensation? What compensation do they need?
"OK."
At this moment, Cen Yan, who had dressed neatly inside, also came out. "Aunt Tian, if you want to apologize and let this matter go, fine, give me five hundred yuan, and I, Cen Yan, will never mention this matter again! Otherwise, you should go to jail for a while."
The thought of the cold, damp, and chilly environment of the detention center, which had triggered her rheumatism time and time again, along with the vicious criminals staring at this old woman, terrified Tian Ying. She immediately agreed to anything, even the offer of 500 or 700.
"Alright, alright, I'll give you five hundred yuan! Son, hurry up and give me the money!"
Yu Qingguo thought about his only mother, gritted his teeth and agreed: "Fine! Five hundred it is, but I don't have the money right now. You have to give me two days to raise it."
"No problem." Cen Yan could wait two days.
But she agreed and advised Qi Jingchuan to accept the money and let the matter drop. She hadn't suffered too much injustice, so there was no need to actually send Tian Ying, an elderly woman, to the detention center.
Sister-in-law Yu disagreed and started making a scene on the spot.
