Chapter 325: Someone Cries to Create an Atmosphere
I laughed in anger, "If it was my dad's car that was scratched, would you also blame him for buying such a good car?"
My mother said confidently, "Everyone knows your father's Mercedes-Benz, but how many people in this small county have ever seen a Bentley?"
When Aunt Liu heard this, she felt that my mother was right and immediately became excited, "Shuyao, you are absolutely right. Who would recognize you when you drive such an expensive car? Isn't there an old saying that goes, 'Ignorance is not blameworthy'?
We had no idea it would be so expensive.”
I'm really convinced. Is this how this sentence is used?
So you think you're right even though you're ignorant?
No, can I just scratch a cheap car? I'm so angry.
I wanted to say something else, but Old Wu signaled that it was okay. He took out his cell phone and made a call. After hanging up, he said to the police, "Comrade police, please remember what happened today. We need to return to City A this afternoon.
If my signature or other formalities are needed now, we will do it together, and a lawyer will take over the matter later."
As he said this, he sent their police numbers to the lawyer in front of the police.
"Won't the owner of this car come and handle it personally?" the policeman said while registering.
"My boss has a lot of things to do and will leave it all to the lawyer."
Seeing that Old Wu was being businesslike, Aunt Liu turned around and started crying to my mother.
"Shuyao, I've watched you grow up. It's your daughter who caused this car, you can't just ignore it."
Very good, my mother started to act like she was only helping the right people and not her relatives. "Mengmeng, you see, this matter has something to do with you. How are you going to solve it?"
I was completely baffled by what my mother said, "Mom, are you okay? I've never seen you take the blame so much on yourself, no, on your own daughter.
The car is not mine, and I am not the one who scratched the car. I am just a passenger in the car. What do you want me to solve?
Can we be good citizens who abide by the law?
Let the police and the law handle it."
It was a rare occasion for my dad to stand by me and oppose my mom. "Mengmeng is right. Don't get involved in this matter. The police are here. Just handle it as it should be handled."
After that, he began to smooth things over, "Come on, come on, let's start the meal and have a seat."
My mother was pulled to the table by my father, but she was still a little reluctant. "Didn't you see Aunt Liu is still crying?"
My dad also has a knack for saying nonsense. "A funeral only has a good atmosphere if someone cries."
Just as the meal started, Aunt Liu's son came rushing back. I don't know what he said to Aunt Liu, but I heard him say helplessly: "If you keep going like this, Xiaobao will be spoiled by you sooner or later! If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price!"
He found Old Wu and said, "Mr. Wu, I'm sorry, my child is too naughty. There's no need to bother the police with this matter. I agree to settle it privately. I'll pay you the price and go to the police station to settle this matter."
Finally, there was someone in this family who was sensible, and Old Wu readily accepted his advice.
The meal finally started. I paid a contribution on behalf of Old Wu and sat at the table outside to eat. My mother rarely said anything.
The old country chef’s skills are really good. The big pork elbow is stewed until it is really tender. The taste is something you can’t make at home.
We ate at the same table with my uncle and his family.
When they were halfway through the meal, one of my uncle's cousins came over and sat down next to him, saying, "Xinrong, Shuxin is an unlucky person. Don't be too sad."
Fortunately, a man is in his prime at the age of 41. With your conditions, it is not difficult for you to find another older girl.
Let me tell you, your cousin’s aunt has a daughter who is still a virgin..."
She was talking excitedly when she heard a "bang" and my mother slammed the chopsticks on the table.
