"How can you ride a bike like that, little girl? How can you crash into someone? Now my mother has been hit by you and can't get up. Tell me, what should we do?"
Without waiting for Li Mingxi to speak, she spoke to the crowd.
"My mother-in-law and I were just about to visit relatives, but she bumped into us just as we arrived in the county town. Can you all give us some advice? What should we do?"
Someone nodded in agreement, "That's right, little girl, look, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were just walking peacefully, and you bumped into them all of a sudden. Isn't that bad luck?"
After a pause, he made a suggestion.
"In my opinion, you should stop talking and just compensate them. I see you're riding a bike, so your family should be well off. You'd better pay the money quickly, otherwise, if this gets out of hand, it won't be good for anyone!"
Li Mingxi listened to his words and felt that this person was talking without any consideration. He asked her to pay compensation without even understanding what was going on. Why?
Little did I know that there were many people who had the same idea in their minds.
An older lady also stood up and slowly began to offer suggestions with the demeanor of an elder.
"That's right, little girl. I think you should pay the money quickly. Otherwise, this matter will be difficult to handle. If a quarrel really breaks out, you will definitely be the one who suffers the loss!"
At this moment, the woman spoke with a sad face.
"No, we don't want her to pay us any compensation. What's the matter? Just because she's rich, she doesn't take us poor people seriously?"
Someone nearby started to make peace, "Sister-in-law, look at your mother-in-law. It's obvious that she was hit hard. If you don't charge her, then if something happens to the old lady, she'll have to pay for medical treatment, right?"
"That's right, sister-in-law, you can't be so stubborn. The most important thing now is to collect the money and then take your mother-in-law to the hospital for treatment!"
The woman wiped her tears and asked doubtfully, "Really?"
"Of course, sister-in-law, seeing how injured your wife is, it will cost at least several dozen dollars to see a doctor!"
When the woman heard this, she was shocked!
Shocked, he asked, "Are you serious? That it's so expensive?"
"Of course, sister-in-law, if you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital and ask them!"
The woman didn't seem to believe what the man said and looked at the people around her in confusion.
The onlookers nodded in agreement.
"That's right, this guy is right!"
Seeing them singing the same tune, Li Mingxi felt extremely speechless!
From the beginning to the end, before she said anything, this group of people had already planned to make her pay compensation.
No one asked her what was going on.
This group of people seemed to firmly believe that she was the one who hit someone!
However, through his observation just now, Li Mingxi has discovered that several of the onlookers are accomplices of this woman.
The implicit words of those people just now were guiding everyone to attack her!
Just as Li Mingxi was thinking this, the woman spoke.
"Little girl, you saw it too. My mother-in-law was indeed hit hard by you. Tell me what to do now!"
As she spoke, she began to wipe her tears again, looking pitiful.
Li Mingxi felt that if she were an outsider, she would subconsciously think that this person was innocent.
I was walking on the road with my mother-in-law, but I encountered such an unexpected disaster.
This is the success of this man!
The woman waited for a long time, but Li Mingxi didn't speak.
She started crying again, "Little girl, why don't you say anything? What's wrong? Did you bump into my mother-in-law and don't want to recognize her?"
As soon as Li Mingxi said this, before he could say anything else, the onlookers stopped listening.
They all started to criticize Li Mingxi, "You look like a decent girl, but who would have thought you would be like this!"
Just then, someone made a suggestion.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. If this girl doesn't compensate you today, we will definitely not let her go!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone responded, "That's right, sister-in-law, don't worry, if this person doesn't compensate you, we will definitely not let her go!"
Staring at the accusing eyes of the onlookers, Li Mingxi spoke.
"Auntie, what you said just now implied that I hit the old woman lying on the ground, but as far as I know, my car didn't hit your mother-in-law at all!"
After a pause, Li Mingxi continued, "Besides, if this person was really hit by a bicycle, he wouldn't be in this state now, right?"
Before Li Mingxi could finish his words, the woman's face turned red, her neck thickened, and she pointed at Li Mingxi excitedly and started shouting.
"You're lying. If you hadn't hit him, why would he be lying here?"
"Also, I was walking next to my mother-in-law just now. How could I not know whether she was hit by you?"
As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Li Mingxi with anger.
"You hit someone and don't want to admit it. Do you want to be sent to the police?"
When the people nearby heard that Li Mingxi was going to be sent to the police, they spoke in a panic.
"Little girl, you'd better pay the money quickly, but don't dare to go to the police, otherwise, your future will be ruined!"
After talking about Li Mingxi, he began to persuade the woman again.
"Sister-in-law, don't be impulsive. If you send her to the police station, this girl will be finished!"
The woman snorted coldly, "If you don't let me hand her over to the police, that's easy. Just ask her to pay me a hundred yuan!"
Everyone who heard this was shocked!
One hundred yuan! You know, an ordinary worker’s monthly salary is less than thirty yuan, and now this woman is asking for one hundred yuan!
This is not a small number!
Now, someone started to persuade him.
"Sister, aren't you asking for too much? I can't seem to come up with that much money from this girl!"
"That's right, that's right. I see your mother-in-law's injuries aren't serious. It'll only cost a few dozen dollars. You can't ask for such a high price!"
The woman stiffened her neck, refused to listen, and spoke in an unquestionable tone.
"No, just one hundred dollars!"
Then, as if she was afraid that others might not understand her, she began to explain herself.
"I'm not asking for too much. She just refused to admit that she hit my mother-in-law. Shouldn't I teach her a lesson?"
"Besides, my mother-in-law can earn eight work points a day in the brigade. Over the course of a year, that's a lot! Now that she's hit me, I definitely won't be able to earn that many work points in the future!"
"Besides, with my mother-in-law in her current condition, I don't know how many months she'll have to stay in bed. In this case, is it too much for me to ask for?"
Some people originally thought that this woman was really unreasonable, but after listening to her explanation, they felt that this was reasonable.
For a moment, everyone looked at Li Mingxi with a strange look!
