That old lady is shrewd; she knows how to assess the situation.
Liu Cuihua secretly curled her lip, feeling disdainful, but on the surface she still tried her best to please the old lady, because she already knew that only the old lady could beat that brat.
This was the conclusion she reached after visiting the Li family.
Although she was indignant, there was nothing she could do, because the first and second wives had already separated their households. No matter how much she argued and complained, it was no match for the old lady's tearful lament.
Grandma Su's tearful speech didn't mention compensation at all, but every word she spoke revolved around money.
Su Xiao recognized it, and so did Director Shu.
The majority of people present were also somewhat affected by the old lady's tearful complaints.
Su Xiao took a deep look at Grandma Su and Grandpa Su.
Grandpa Su was an indecisive, honest, and simple rural man.
Grandma Su, however, was a shrewd and capable old lady, the head of the household and the one in charge.
The old lady's family originally owned a tailor shop and had some wealth. She was educated, thoughtful, and pampered from a young age. However, due to the times, her family declined, and she married Grandpa Su, a farmer, to make a living.
In times of chaos, seek peace; in times of prosperity, find a way out.
She knew that there was no future in toiling in the fields, so she wanted to raise her two sons with all her heart and was determined to help them go out into the world.
Unfortunately, as the eldest grandson, Su Dayong was spoiled and pampered by the old lady of the family, and she couldn't get involved in his education. When the child grew up, she found that he was brave but not resourceful and had a bad mind.
She personally mentored and taught the second son, Su Eryong, who lived up to her expectations, displaying courage, resourcefulness, and loyalty.
So what's wrong with her favoring the second son?
But she wasn't unkind to the eldest son either; otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths, spending money and pulling strings to help him find a job at a shoe factory in town.
The second son, Su Eryong, lived up to his potential. After graduating, he went straight to work at a machinery factory and became a permanent employee, so she didn't have to worry about him at all.
Seeing that both of her sons had settled down in town and that life was getting better and better.
But then came a sudden and devastating piece of news, which inevitably left her heartbroken.
Now that things have come to this, she has been pondering what to do next for several days and nights.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Director Shu spoke up, "First of all, we express our deepest regret and apology for the unexpected passing of comrades Su Eryong and Tian Niu."
Today, the official document submitted by the factory to the higher-ups has been received. The organization has decided to provide compensation to the families of comrades Su Eryong and Tian Niu.
The one-time death compensation is 3,858 yuan per person for both comrades, totaling 7,716 yuan. Funeral expenses are 100 yuan per person. In addition, the two elderly people and their child under the age of 18 will each receive a monthly pension of 15 yuan… As for their jobs, their children will take over… If the children do not require their services, the factory will provide appropriate compensation…”
More than seven thousand seven hundred...
Liu Cuihua and Su Dayong's eyes turned red when they heard the number, and they hurriedly looked at Grandma Su.
The old lady sat upright, her eyes slightly lowered, seemingly lost in thought.
Su Xiao listened attentively without saying a word. In fact, some of the content was something she had discussed with Director Shu a few days ago during her visit.
Factory Director Shu read the contents aloud and looked at everyone, "Does anyone have any opinions? You can raise them now."
Su Xiao shook her head. "No."
Grandma Su glanced at her and shook her head, "No."
“Um…” Liu Cuihua suddenly spoke up, and everyone’s eyes turned to her.
