Ye Zhiwei stared blankly at Anna's mother, who had two completely different faces.
Aunt Wu didn't care whether the others had other things to do. She coaxed her youngest son, who was a little shy and timid, and finally managed to coax him away. When she looked up, she saw Ye Zhiwei with her arms around him.
Ye Zhiwei's face was incredibly intimidating. She was already very beautiful and had an aggressive look, and even when she wasn't smiling, she gave off a sense of pressure. She was clearly not in a good mood right now, and the expressionless face with her slightly furrowed brows gave Aunt Wu a sense of oppression. Aunt Wu, who had initially thought that Ye Zhiwei was just a rich girl, didn't dare to be so arrogant under Ye Zhiwei's gaze.
He grumbled and went back to his room to get the money.
Although Aunt Wu was still heartbroken over her husband's death, she was, after all, a naive housewife. With the family so short of money and the other party suddenly bringing so much cash, Aunt Wu was not really willing to return the money.
To Ye Zhiwei's amusement and exasperation, Aunt Wu went back to her room and counted the cash again. The other person had taken nearly 300,000 yuan in cash in a box, and Aunt Wu simply took out 30,000 yuan.
The driver's wife gave a cold laugh with an odd expression: "We brought 300,000 yuan, and you want 30,000 yuan back? If you accept the money, then give us the letter of understanding. If you refuse to give us the letter of understanding, then please return the 300,000 yuan to us. You can sue us directly in court for the money you want, and we will give you whatever amount is due."
The driver's wife had clearly learned the general situation from the lawyer: criminal cases like this are usually settled out of court, so the compensation is usually high. In reality, the total compensation awarded by the court probably wouldn't be much. The woman's husband is already dead, so there's no need for medical expenses, and funeral expenses are actually not much. Her husband's imprisonment is already considered compensation for the family's mental distress. If the family were to request compensation for mental distress, it would be rejected. Even if some judges sympathize with the family and support them, the amount would generally not be much.
She had already obtained the other party's previous medical records with Qin Manshu's help, and she paid a doctor to help her see the case because she knew that even without this accident, the other party's husband would not live for long. It is said that the family could not borrow money and could not continue to provide medical assistance. What could have been an accident that would have given the other party a sigh of relief is now showing a greedy face, as if her husband could have recovered without them.
Aunt Wu's attitude had already left the driver's wife with little hope. Ye Zhiwei's previous remarks had only made her feel more disoriented. Her husband might face a severe sentence, and Aunt Wu was unlikely to forgive him. She decided not to hold out too much hope. Disheartened, the driver's wife wiped away her tears and looked at Aunt Wu with a cold attitude, a stark contrast to her earlier apologetic and hopeful demeanor when she first arrived.
It was during this farce that Ye Zhiwei learned that Qin Manshu had probably given the driver's wife a lot of money. It was obvious that the driver's wife did not feel that she needed to pay too much money in compensation for this matter. 300,000 yuan is a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but the driver's wife was not so concerned about the 300,000 yuan. She was only dissatisfied with Aunt Wu's attitude.
How much money did the Qin family give to this family, a driver's family that was clearly in poor financial condition? It seems like they could say that 300,000 yuan was a trivial amount.
As the situation escalated, Ye Zhiwei knew that unless Aunt Wu made a statement, the matter would likely remain deadlocked, and now the driver's wife had said she would call the police.
Aunt Wu cried her heart out, lamenting the injustice of heaven and shouting that the police were there to rid the people of evil and should have killed these heartless devils.
Ye Zhiwei checked the time and realized she couldn't stay any longer. Anna, who was standing next to her, also felt that Aunt Wu was going too far. Later, she somehow found a key, opened the door, and gave the money to the driver's wife.
Aunt Wu's eyes widened in astonishment as she stared at her daughter, who dared to disobey her orders and do such a thing. She grabbed something and threw it at Anna, then went over to snatch the money, shouting, "This is my money! This is what I should be compensated for! You killed my husband, so it's only right that you give me some money! You bunch of bandits—this is my money, my money!"
The driver's wife had a lawyer's help, and after things escalated like this, she grabbed the money and quickly left with the lawyer. Aunt Wu even chased after them, shouting, "Robbery! Robbery! Robbery!"
But Aunt Wu is known for her sharp tongue and meanness. Everyone in the neighborhood knows what kind of person she is. After her husband got into trouble and she was refused when she asked them for money, she started throwing a tantrum, cursing everyone for being heartless and calling them all bad people who were bullying her family. Every time you see Aunt Wu's family, you have to distance yourself from them on one hand, and pity Anna on the other. This woman is the type who will hold a grudge and bite off a piece of flesh if you offend her even for the smallest thing. Seeing this, everyone just felt sorry for the driver's wife and the lawyer who fled in panic.
When civilized people encounter unreasonable and rude people, they really can't say a word. Aunt Wu's image as a victim who should be pitied is terrifying.
Ye Zhiwei was already having a headache. Seeing that Aunt Wu was about to come back after chasing after them, Ye Zhiwei immediately said to Anna, "Why did you just give them the money? You could have told them to call the police and let them handle it. Even if the police didn't handle it, they could find their own way to get relief. Aren't you afraid that your mother will take her anger out on you when she gets back?"
Anna lowered her head and said, "Mom was wrong to do this. It's really inappropriate for us to accept this money without giving a letter of understanding. What if they call the police and the police think Mom is committing fraud?"
Ye Zhiwei sighed, "This doesn't even qualify as fraud."
Seeing that Aunt Wu was about to go inside, Ye Zhiwei immediately reminded Anna, "You'd better leave quickly. Wait until your mother calms down before coming back—"
Anna didn't leave at all. She seemed to be used to Aunt Wu's scolding as soon as she entered the door. Not only did Aunt Wu scold her, but she also hit Anna hard with her own hands. "My life is so miserable. How could I have such a heartless daughter like you? I provide you with food, shelter and a place to live, and you treat me like this. This is how you treat me. You good-for-nothing. You good-for-nothing. What sins did I commit to give birth to you?"
Anna remained silent, while Aunt Wu became enraged and started grabbing weapons, even brandishing a knife to attack someone.
Ye Zhiwei had never seen such a madman before, and the security guards behind her immediately restrained Aunt Wu.
Ye Zhiwei replied expressionlessly, "Your attitude changes when you take out a knife. Do you intend to kill your daughter?"
Aunt Wu was furious. "What business is it of yours if I discipline my daughter? She's my daughter. Even if I really kill her, what can you do about it?"
