Chapter 8: I met the relatives I missed the most!

Ma Chunhua's momentum instantly dropped by half. Listening to the condemnation from the crowd, she felt extremely embarrassed.

She glared at her daughter angrily and pinched her again, "You stupid girl, why are you talking nonsense if it's not you?"

Li Erya was pinched so hard that she started crying. Ma Chunhua could only try to reconcile. "Oh, Grandma Yao, it's just the kids grinding their teeth. What bad intentions could our Erya have? She's just a child! She was just joking with Xiaoliu!"

Jiang Houde didn't respond well. "Is that a joke? If this girl hadn't passed by and seen it, then our Xiaoliu drowning in the pond today was also a joke."

Everyone around started to speak up for the Jiang family and condemned Ma Chunhua and her daughter. Ma Chunhua had no choice but to ask, "Then what do you want to do? Isn't your Xiaoliu fine now? Isn't there anything wrong with him? We are all from the same village, can we just forget about this?"

Ma Chunhua wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, but the Jiang family disagreed.

"Erya's mother, you really can't stand and talk without your waist hurting. It wasn't your Erya who was pushed into the pond. If it was Erya, would you be able to talk so easily?"

Yao Guixiang didn't want to let it go like this. Her grandson almost died, okay?

The two sides couldn't come to a conclusion on how to deal with this matter, and Su Luo felt that this matter couldn't be left unresolved.

Seeing that Ma Chunhua was about to deny it, she spoke again, "I think we should just give the victim's family fifty yuan and a basket of eggs as compensation! Wouldn't it be better to follow this standard?"

Su Luo proposed the same standards that Ma Chunhua had initially proposed to the Jiang family, and everyone thought there was nothing wrong with it.

"Fifty yuan... and eggs... that's too much! I don't have that much at home..."

Ma Chunhua didn't want to pay compensation and almost bit her teeth off. She glanced at Su Luo.

I think it's all this girl's fault. I don't know where she came from, but she talked so much and ended up causing her such a huge loss. It makes me angry just thinking about it!

Yao Guixiang and Jiang Houde, the old couple, looked at each other and both felt that Su Luo was a good girl. Not only did she save their grandson, but she was also helping them to get justice.

Seeing that Ma Chunhua was hesitant and unwilling to agree, Su Luo said calmly, "If you think it's too much, there's another way. Go find the village chief, or you can report the case to the town police station. Pushing someone into the water is no small matter. It's a matter of life and death. Even if the person who pushed the person was an ignorant child, the child's guardian must also bear responsibility. Who do you plan to go to jail for the child?"

Su Luo looked at Ma Chunhua with calm eyes, and there was a hint of intimidation in her words.

Ma Chunhua knew nothing about the law. She was so scared just hearing that she would go to jail for her child.

Jiang Houde felt that Su Luo's words were very intimidating. He immediately pretended to go out to find the village chief, "I will go to find the village chief now and go to the town later."

Ma Chunhua panicked and immediately stopped Jiang Houde to plead, "Old Man Jiang, please don't, please don't, we can talk it over. We're all neighbors from the same village. We'll accept the compensation. Fifty yuan and a basket of eggs. I'll go home and get them now. Just wait!"

Ma Chunhua ran out of the Jiang family's courtyard and went back to get money and eggs.

It took only about ten minutes for her to come back. She put a basket of eggs on the table in Jiang's house, and then she took out some scattered money from her handkerchief, and collected 50 yuan to give to Jiang Houde.

"Dad Jiang, do you think this will work? Can we not pursue this matter further?" Ma Chunhua asked with a flattering look on her face.

Jiang Houde didn't say anything, and Yao Guixiang thought this was fine and tacitly agreed.

Ma Chunhua was about to take her daughter back, but Su Luo stopped them again, "Compensation alone is not enough. I think you should apologize to them! Especially your child. You have to apologize to that child and never call them a wild child again."

If there weren't so many people at the scene, Ma Chunhua would have wanted to jump up and slap Su Luo in the face.

Where did this little bitch come from? Why is she so nosy?

Although she was very dissatisfied, Ma Chunhua had to apologize with her daughter because the villagers were watching.

"Erya and I both apologize to your family. Erya, apologize to Xiaoliu quickly! Hurry!"

Ma Chunhua pressed Erya's head and asked her to apologize. Erya said sorry reluctantly.

That's how it happened. Ma Chunhua took her daughter back home and didn't scold her much along the way.

When she thought about losing fifty yuan and a basket of eggs for no reason, and having to apologize to the Jiang family in public, she felt like vomiting!

How many eggs can you buy with fifty yuan!

It’s all in vain!

The surrounding villagers dispersed after watching the excitement, and the Jiang family compound returned to peace. The only sound was the rustling of the jujube trees in the wind, and the green and yellow jujubes swaying happily in the wind.

After some peace and quiet, Yao Guixiang took her grandson into the house to change clothes. Before leaving, she did not forget to greet Su Luo, "Girl, please don't leave! We will thank you later."

He then instructed Jiang Houde, "Old Jiang, please invite the girl in and entertain her. She saved our Xiaoliu's life! She helped us a lot!"

The old couple were very grateful to Su Luo. They felt that she was not only kind but also smart, and that she helped them handle things so thoughtfully at the critical moment.

"Know."

Jiang Houde had already hung his pipe on the wall and said with a kind smile, "Young lady, you must be feeling hot. Come sit down and cool down. I'll get some tea!"

Su Luo looked quietly at her grandfather's kind and amiable face, tears already streaming down her face.

She finally saw the relatives she missed most in this way!

The old man turned and went into the house to get the teapot and teacup. Su Luo looked at the familiar figure with tears in her eyes. She called out softly, "Grandpa..."

Jiang Houde suddenly heard the girl behind him calling him grandpa. His back froze. He turned around slowly in surprise and looked at Su Luo again, a little bit incredulous. "Girl...you...what did you just call me?"

"Grandpa."

Su Luo wiped away her tears and answered with a slight smile.

Jiang Houde stood there, the mottled afternoon sunlight swaying on his rough, wrinkled face. The old man stared at Su Luo with a pair of puzzled eyes, his eyes full of confusion.

He didn't know why the girl called him grandpa?

Yao Guixiang changed the child's clothes and came out of the house, lifting the curtain. Seeing the girl still standing in the sun in the yard, she blamed her husband, "You are so mean! Why did you let the girl stand outside? It's so hot!"

She personally walked forward to hold Su Luo's hand, but saw Su Luo's red eyes filled with tears, and asked in surprise, "Little girl, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Grandma. I'm just so happy."

Su Luo didn't want to cry, but when she saw her grandparents appear in front of her alive, she couldn't hold back her tears.

I wiped some off, and more quickly appeared.

"What? You...you called me grandma...girl, did you recognize the wrong person?"
