Li Mu counted on his fingers one by one and accused these people of what they had done.

"Anyway, after all the hard work, you have to compensate me 5,000 yuan, and then agree to let me rent a storefront. I won't set up a stall there anymore."

Several parents only heard what Li Mu said before, and occasionally talked with their heads down, but when they heard that they had to pay a compensation of 10,000 yuan, they instantly became a little uneasy.

"Young man, you are asking for too much." The older middle-aged man frowned and said in a serious tone.

Li Mu was not afraid at all, and asked back: "But they didn't hit us, it was just that the police happened to come."

"If they hit us, do you think it would be as simple as just talking about reconciliation?"

Hearing what Li Mu said, the middle-aged man's face instantly turned ugly and he didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere became silent for a moment.

Li Mu knew that the few people originally just wanted to give him a few hundred dollars to be done with, but they didn't expect Li Mu to ask for so much.

After a long silence, several family members looked at each other and said, "Let's go out and discuss it with the others."

...

...

After getting Li Mu's consent, several people left in a hurry.

Zhou Qiang was so shocked watching Li Mu's actions that his jaw dropped. Even he felt that Li Mu was asking for too much. After all, the loss on their side was not that big, just some tables, chairs and benches.

The total value might not exceed two hundred yuan, but Li Mu asked for five thousand yuan.

Zhou Qiang felt that the other parent would definitely not agree to this price.

But now Zhou Qiang didn't dare to interrupt Li Mu easily. After all, Li Mu must have his reasons for saying that.

If he interrupted and disrupted Li Mu's plan, wouldn't it be a loss? The compensation might even be greatly reduced.

Li Mu knew what Zhou Qiang was thinking at the moment. While no one was around, Li Mu whispered, "Don't think about it. You definitely won't give me that much money. The price I have in mind is just to compensate you with 3,000 yuan. After all, we have to do some work after renting the store, and we may not have enough funds later."

"Besides, fish ponds are very capital-intensive. We need to research and develop ways to maximize the value of fish."

"No matter what they say, you have to pay them 10,000 yuan. Do you understand?"

After hearing Li Mu's explanation, Zhou Qiang nodded to show that he understood.

I don’t know how long it took, but after a few people came back from the discussion, their faces looked a little pale.

"Young man, this is the maximum amount we can give you. You can rent the shop. We won't embarrass you anymore. Let's both make concessions so we can meet again in the future!"

The middle-aged man at the beginning came back, raised a finger, and went straight to the point.

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Li Mu snorted: "Since you don't want to reconcile, then follow the normal procedure. I don't need so much money."

After saying that, Li Mu got up and prepared to leave, and several people suddenly became a little panicked.

He hurriedly said, "Three thousand. I'll give you three thousand as compensation. That's enough. We can't give you more."

"The tables, chairs and benches they smashed were not worth that much money."

Hearing what was said behind him, Li Mu walked straight towards the door without stopping.

Originally, after hearing the compensation amount Li Mu mentioned and that they had already agreed to it, Zhou Qiang hesitated and wanted to say that he accepted it, but when he thought of Li Mu getting up and leaving, Zhou Qiang hurried to follow him.

One of the women who came in couldn't hold it in any longer and walked directly to Li Mu and begged, "Please, young man, he is our only child. If he goes to jail, we don't want to live anymore."

"Please, let them go." As he said this, he wanted to kneel down to Li Mu.

Li Mu reached out his hand to hold her and said, "Don't try to blackmail me morally. I'm a cold-blooded person. I said that number and that's it."

After saying that, he left without any hesitation.

When the woman saw Li Mu walking without stopping, she burst into tears in the house.

Zhou Qiang asked in confusion: "Brother, didn't they agree? Why didn't they just refuse?"

"Humph, these people are obviously rich, but they still only agreed to compensate us 3,000. When they saw that I was leaving, they agreed to give us 5,000."

"Since it's so easy to negotiate, I'll wait for them to take out the ten thousand yuan."

"To put it bluntly, they want to solve the problem with money, but they don't want to give us that much. What if they come to cause trouble? Let's give them a little warning first."

After hearing what Li Mu said, Zhou Qiang felt that it made sense.

The crowd surrounding the door saw Li Mu coming out, thinking that there was a result, and immediately stepped forward to say something.

Li Mu avoided him with a cold look on his face.

The middle-aged man was looking at his companion crying in the house, and he suddenly felt annoyed, so he shouted angrily: "Stop crying, why are you crying? Crying makes people upset."

"Why shouldn't I cry? My son is going to jail, and it was you who came up with this idea. If we only give 5,000, we can afford it together."

After hearing what the woman said, the middle-aged man felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have tried to test her again and again. This guy is not simple.

After a while of stalemate, several people walked out.

When the woman came out with a red face from crying, everyone knew that things were messed up and their children could not come out yet.

So everyone had a sad face, and some even suggested going to Li Mu's house to hang banners to accuse him.

But the middle-aged man who had a rough idea of ​​what kind of person Li Mu was shouted angrily: "You are all crazy. Don't mention that the children haven't come out yet. I guess we will all go in."

After hearing what this person said, the family members began to whisper among themselves, trying to find a solution.

Different from the scene in the police station at the moment, Li Mu and Zhou Qiang were in a very good mood. They even decided to take a day off tonight and not set up the stall.

On the way home, I bought some loose snacks and prepared to drink them at home.

When they got home, Lin Wan had already prepared the meal and invited the two to come and eat.

As soon as she sat down, Lin Wan couldn't wait to ask, "What's the matter? Has the problem been resolved?"

Li Mu shook his head, stuffed the braised beef that Lin Wan had prepared into his mouth and said, "No, but it will be ready soon."

Lin Wan nodded after hearing this.

After a while, Lin Wan heard people outside the door discussing Li Mu's arrest, so she shouted angrily at the door:

"Stop nagging me. My man was bullied. The police called him over to mediate. He was not arrested."

Hearing Lin Wan defending him like this, Li Mu felt warm in his heart, and everything he drank had a hint of sweetness.

When the person outside the door heard what Lin Wan shouted, he quickly shut up.
