The smile on Zhou Yi's face froze. It's not that he was saying anything, but this old man was quite bold in asking for it.
Nowadays, a sheep weighing 100 kilograms cannot be sold for 10,000 yuan even if calculated according to the retail price in Jingzhou market.
I may be rich, but this kind of thing... I just can't describe how I feel.
"Grandpa, even if your sheep grows a few more years, it won't sell for 10,000 yuan, right? At this price..." Zhou Xinran said next to him.
Her personality is relatively straightforward. We are willing to compensate, but that doesn't mean we can be taken advantage of.
Little did they know, the man across the street was yelling, "Less than ten thousand? This sheep of mine is a male... oh no, it's a female. If it gives birth to lambs, I can sell it for twenty or thirty thousand, not to mention ten thousand. Letting you lose ten thousand is already a bargain for you!"
"You don't want to compensate, right? Fine, I'll call the police!"
Zhou Yi felt at a loss for words for a moment. How could the value of a sheep be calculated like this in this day and age?
Does this mean that if you accidentally break someone else's fertilized egg, you will have to pay for it with countless chickens?
"No, sir, this can't be calculated like this. It was indeed wrong for us to kill the sheep, and we should pay compensation, but you are..."
Seeing that Zhou Yi was about to start an argument with the old man, Zhou Xinran quickly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, ten thousand is a bit much. How about eight thousand? What do you think? We'll buy it."
At this point, Zhou Xinran looked at Zhou Yi and said with a smile: "Just think of it as us buying it back to eat. When we go to the farmhouse later, we can ask them to prepare a roasted whole lamb for us."
Spending eight thousand on an ordinary sheep might not seem like a good deal, but that's not how it works.
After all, this is not a buying and selling transaction. It should be considered as compensation for infringement, so it cannot be calculated that way.
Moreover, this behavior actually has a bad influence. Otherwise, one day you see someone's sheep on the road and want to buy them, but they won't sell them.
Then you drive your car and hit someone's sheep to death, and then pay for it. Do you think this behavior is appropriate?
Zhou Yi also remembered a question that Fang Dazhuang often talked about after drinking too much, that is, in our lives, if you dirty someone else's clothes or shoes, and they ask you to compensate you according to the original price, can you take their things away?
According to our normal understanding, this is of course possible, right? If I compensate you with the original price, doesn’t that mean I have bought your things?
But this way of thinking is not legal thinking.
To use Fang Da's explanation at the time, the compensation you pay to the other party is compensation for soiling their clothes. Remember, this is called tort damages, not a sale.
Although it seems a bit unreasonable to use the original price as compensation, you must remember that the amount of compensation is decided by your own negotiation. If you are willing to pay this much money, it will be useless to say it anywhere else.
If you want to take it away, you have to make it clear in advance.
Of course, Zhou Xinran also remembered what Fang Dazhuang said before, so she just said specifically, let's consider it as we bought it.
The man opposite said directly, "No, ten thousand yuan, not a cent less. And why do you want to eat the whole roasted lamb? What's the matter? You want to take my lamb away?"
Zhou Xinran heard this and said, "Ah? Uncle, didn't I just tell you that we bought the sheep? Look, eight thousand yuan, three thousand is your compensation, and the remaining five thousand is the money we paid for the sheep. Isn't that enough?"
"No, what if you hit someone and kill them on the street one day? After paying compensation, you still have to take the body away, right?" The old man was also shouting there.
Zhou Yi and Zhou Xinran exchanged a glance, then said, "Then call the police and let them see what we have to say. We were originally considering resolving this matter for you, but you don't seem to want to."
Seriously, no matter what the matter is, eight thousand yuan in compensation is definitely enough, and a lot more.
But the result must be ten thousand, and the sheep cannot be taken away.
Moreover, to be honest, this old man is the weaker party. When the police come, he can just call a lawyer to handle it. As long as it is not a hit-and-run, the rest can be dragged out slowly.
In short, take legal action, sue, and see how much compensation the court awards. But this is an ideal situation; it doesn't work that way in real life.
Across from him, Uncle Qin was furious upon hearing this: "Call the police, huh? Fine, you two, don't leave. I'm calling the police now. You're right to kill my sheep, aren't you?"
"I'm telling you, look at what that's above you, it's called a surveillance camera. There are surveillance cameras here, don't even think about running away!"
Zhou Yi looked up and saw that there really was a surveillance camera. Was this a coincidence?
But he still said, "Don't worry, we won't run away. We'll just wait and see what the police say when they get here."
It is possible that the police will come and try to smooth things over. After all, there is really no way to talk about this kind of thing.
You haven't seen the outrageous behavior in some mediation events.
A man has been married to his wife for several years, but the child he has raised for several years is not his. In this case, they must get a divorce.
However, under the woman's crying, the mediator persuaded the man not to divorce. Although the child was not his, he had raised him for several years and he must have feelings for the child. After all, the child called him dad every day.
Just raise him as your own son. Don’t those who adopt children or re-form families still raise their children as their own?
It sounds a bit outrageous, but this is a true event in reality...
After waiting here for a long time, a police car finally drove over and two policemen got out and walked over.
