Pay two...
Wang was interrupted by Li Hehua before she could finish speaking.
"Mother, let's discuss this again."
Li Hehua looked so eager, as if she was afraid of missing out on some unexpected fortune.
Wang originally wanted to offer twenty yuan in compensation, but she was afraid that if she said too much, the eldest son's family wouldn't be able to afford it and wouldn't be able to come up with the money. So, saying more would be pointless.
Yang Juhua rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking to herself, "That idiot Li Hehua, how much bigger does she want to gamble?"
The old woman said that twenty was already a lot, and she still thought she could win the gamble.
If they hadn't separated their households yet, she wouldn't want to meddle in this mess!
The group stood to one side and began to discuss.
The Yu brothers simply sat on the millstone, craning their necks to wait, looking just like two ducks stretching their necks to be fed.
"Third son's wife, why are you stopping me?"
Wang looked impatient, her brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.
"Mother, didn't you say twenty was too little?"
Twenty yuan is too good for those two ungrateful brats.
Li Hehua's eyes gleamed with greed, as if she wanted to dig out all the money from the main house.
“Mom, I think my wife is right, twenty is really too little.”
Yu Sanzhu immediately chimed in, his fat face jiggling as he looked like a comical clown.
"Third brother, third brother's wife, what do you two think is a reasonable amount of compensation they should pay?"
"If it's too much, I'm afraid they won't be able to provide it, and then it'll be a waste."
Wang expressed her true thoughts, feeling uneasy and uncertain.
"Mother, you're right. I also think it's too much. Let's make it twenty!"
Even if we lose, it won't be too bad for us!
Yu Erzhu immediately echoed his mother's words. He didn't want to make things too big, since it wouldn't be good for either side to lose. They had already become the laughing stock of the village.
"Mother, Erzhu is right, how about twenty? That's not too much."
Yang Juhua never expected that Wang Shi and the third branch of the family would be so greedy, not only apologizing but also demanding compensation.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, which side are you two on?"
Why do I feel like you guys are always taking their side?
Those two are ungrateful wretches; they've severed ties with us now. What affection can we possibly have left for them?
Twenty yuan is too little. Considering what he took from us, it's just a drop in the ocean.
"Mom, don't listen to my second brother and sister-in-law. We don't need much; 50 yuan will suffice."
Li Hehua glared at Yang Juhua, looking as if she wanted to devour her.
"Third sister-in-law, why are you yelling at my wife?"
50 yuan? You're kidding me! My brother still owes me money!
If the fish basket incident was just a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be enough to just have them apologize?
A small amount of money as compensation is fine; why ask for so much?
If we lose, we'll have to pay them this much money.
Now that we've severed ties with them, there's no need to make everyone unhappy anymore.
Yu Erzhu was also getting anxious; his third brother's family was simply asking for an exorbitant amount.
"You two good-for-nothings have no guts whatsoever compared to your parents. No wonder you've been like this for so many years."
Alright, you guys stop talking. I'll listen to Lao San and the others, and we'll just pay 50 yuan.
If they don't have the money right away, just have them write an IOU.
Wang waved her hand and said, as if she had already won.
After being yelled at by his mother, Yu Erzhu immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, hanging his head dejectedly and not daring to utter a single word.
Seeing this, Yang Juhua simply stopped talking, since the matter of losing money had nothing to do with their second branch of the family.
That money won't end up in their own pockets anyway, so the third brother and his wife can do whatever they want.
I've already kindly reminded you, so the rest has absolutely nothing to do with me.
She pulled her husband aside and whispered, "Honey, don't worry about the third son and his wife. We don't need to get involved."
At this moment, Yu Chengyuan shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hey, have you guys made up your minds yet?"
My mom is waiting for us to come home for dinner!
They brought this on themselves, so it would be unreasonable for them not to collect some interest.
"What's all the fuss about? It'll only be a little while."
We've agreed not to make a fuss.
We won't ask for much, just fifty yuan.
Wang spoke, her neck stiff.
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.
"Has this old lady Wang gone mad?"
He immediately asked for fifty.
"He's the grandson I watched grow up, how could you be so heartless?"
"They're obsessed with money."
The houses over there in Dazhu haven't even been built yet!
How could she possibly say that?
"This must have been a terrible idea from Mr. and Mrs. Yu!"
"I think so, those two are no good!"
"What are you all arguing about?"
What's it to you?
Is fifty yuan a lot?
I'm already being lenient by not asking for two hundred yuan.
Wang waved her cane, spitting as she cursed incessantly.
Seeing this, everyone took two steps back, fearing they would suffer this undeserved disaster.
"Alright, fifty it is. The villagers all heard it."
Now please look carefully.
Whose fish basket is this?
