Chapter 499 Apology
The news that Shao Dalang's leg would not be lame soon spread throughout the village. Only then did the Ding Jincai brothers, accompanied by their parents, go to the Shao family's main house with their heads hung to apologize.
Fang, Xu, Qiao Xuan and others were all very unhappy, especially Fang and Xu. They should have come yesterday, but the two brothers got scared and ran back home after getting into trouble. It was they who sent Shao Dalang back.
Now that I heard that everything was fine, he came to apologize. It's really disrespectful.
Fang taunted, "It's really rare that you guys still remembered to come today. I thought you weren't coming!"
Xu, who never caused trouble, also laughed out loud, "My mother and I thought differently. I thought they would come yesterday!"
The Ding brothers and their parents all looked embarrassed.
Jincai's mother forced a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, they are ignorant and were frightened yesterday, so they ran away home. Their father and I were frightened and angry, so we scolded them severely! When we came to our senses, it was already dark. We thought it was too late to disturb them, so we hurried here this morning. Well, no matter what, it was the brothers who were ignorant and caused the trouble, so you can't blame your sister-in-law for being angry."
Fang felt a little disgusted after hearing this, but she didn't know what to say, so she just kept a cold face and said nothing.
Uncle Shao coughed and said, "Hey, this is an accident, no one wanted it to happen. Fortunately, our Dalang was not seriously injured and will recover after some rest. If you are willing to apologize, then this matter is-"
Fang: "It's like this anyway. Fortunately, my son is lucky and has a long life. Let's just forget it! But what are you going to do about the medical expenses?"
Ding Jincai's brothers, parents and parents were all stunned.
"Medical expenses?"
"Yes," Fang said, "It's impossible that our family should pay money when our Dalang suffers, right?"
Ding Jincai murmured: "But, but our family has no money, and you guys don't lack money."
His parents didn't say anything, but it was clear from their expressions that they meant the same thing.
Fang got angry and said coldly, "You are the ones who did something wrong. If you don't pay for the medical expenses, who will? What does it have to do with whether my family is short of money?"
"But they didn't do it on purpose!"
Qiao Xuan smiled, "If that's the case, next time someone pretends not to have done anything to harm our family, will we just apologize and not have to worry about anything?"
"That's right, it's not that cheap!"
Fang glanced at them and said, "Well, you pay half of the medical expenses."
The Ding family looked at each other, but had nothing to say.
Although it was not intentional, it was their fault that Shao Dalang was injured.
The Shao family was easy to talk to, only asking them to pay half of the medical expenses. Even if they went to their house and asked them to pay the full amount, they would have no choice.
"Well, that's fine." Jincai's father sighed and said with a wry smile, "These two useless guys are indeed at fault in this matter, so let them pay for it."
Fang's expression softened a bit, and she continued, "In that case, you can take two taels of silver first. I didn't ask for a random price, and I know exactly how much medicine I ordered. If you don't believe me, just go to Mingrentang in the county town and find Manager Qin to check the account!"
They believed this, but did not express their willingness to accept it.
Jincai's father and mother even tried to play the victim and talk to Fang and Uncle Shao and ask them to reduce some of the medical expenses, but how could Fang agree?
She either cared about the small amount of money or was angry and refused to give in.
