Chapter 271 Half of the Family

Facing her husband's questioning, Cao's psychological defenses were instantly broken.

"Why? It's because the Li family is not a good family!" As

soon as Cao's words came out, everyone's eyes were immediately on Li Dongsheng and Liu Caixia. They couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, what did these two people do to make Cao's wife do such a thing as instigating the child?

The previous words have been said, and Cao's wife has nothing to say.

She has been resentful of the Li family for a long time. She talked about them one by one, and they were all trivial matters. But the more trivial the matters were, the easier it was for the resentment to accumulate.

Especially when they heard that Li Kang had broken someone's eggs, and Mrs. Li was still cursing, everyone present sympathized with Cao's wife.

Anyone who has such a neighbor would have to say that it is bad luck.

Li Dongsheng's face was not good. After all, Mrs. Li was his mother. As a son, he was naturally unhappy to be criticized in public.

There was another person who was also very unhappy, and that was Liu Caixia.

She didn't know these things. She didn't expect that when she and her husband were in school and at work, the old lady educated her son in this way.

Originally, she thought that the old lady was just a little bit doting on her children, but she didn't expect that she had a problem with her character.

Fortunately, she knew it early now. If it was later, her son would be used to become a disaster.

Shi Tingyu looked at it coldly. She expressed sympathy for Mrs. Cao's experience, but she probably still had reservations about what Mrs. Cao said just now.

She could do something like instigating the child to sneak into someone else's house to steal candy, so it doesn't make sense that she would not take any action when

she was always with Li Kang. Judging from what happened today, the other party was still able to put up a fuss in front of Li Kang, and it was obvious that he wanted to use their family to deal with Li Kang.

Judging from the psychological quality shown by the other party at that time, it didn't seem like the first time for someone to do such a thing.

But the old lady of the Li family is also a scoundrel. Those who know her say that she loves the child, while those who don't think she has a grudge against the child.

This is training the child to be a cancer.

It's hard for Li Dongsheng and Liu Caixia, who are so smart, to be careless sometimes.

However, no matter how much this matter is said, their family suffered heavy losses. No matter what grudges the two families have, it is a bit too bullying to make such a scene during her child's first birthday party.

Now the matter is clear. It was Li Kang who did it, but it was also instigated by Cao's wife. It is better for the two families to share the compensation.

When Lu Weiguo saw that his wife was about to speak, he immediately grabbed her hand.

It is better for him to deal with such offending things.

The three thousand yuan is not a small matter. If it is not handled well, the family compound will probably spread rumors about his wife's aggressiveness.

After all, in the eyes of those who don't understand, it's just a painting. At most, it will take a few days to repaint it. Why force people to pay the three thousand yuan.

Before things happen to them, people will always take the moral high ground and sympathize with those who show weakness.

Now that Cao's sister-in-law is crying, maybe some of her sisters-in-law are really soft-hearted.

He just saw that some people looked at Cao's sister-in-law with sympathy.

Shi Tingyu saw that Lu Weiguo stopped her from speaking, and because of her trust in him, she did not speak.

Lu Weiguo looked at the Cao and Li families and said, "Today is a solemn birthday banquet. It only happens once in a lifetime. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

As soon as these words came out, Cao's sister-in-law's face looked a little guilty.

Liu Caixia and the others were also embarrassed.

Everyone reacted at this time. Yes, the originally good birthday banquet was ruined like this. Who wouldn't feel disgusted?

I was so attracted by what Mrs. Cao said that I almost forgot that Lao Lu and his family were the real victims.

Seeing that what he said just now had achieved his purpose, Lu Weiguo continued: "This painting was contracted by my wife. Now the painting is destroyed, and there is not enough time to paint a new one. According to the contract, we need to pay compensation if we cannot hand over the painting."

The hearts of the Cao and Li families sank.

When they saw Shi Tingyu washing the painting just now, they were lucky, thinking that if the painting could be repaired, they might be able to pay less.

But after hearing what Lu Weiguo said, they felt it was impossible.

Lu Weiguo had seen the contract and knew the contents.

It clearly stated the price and the time to hand over the painting.

Of course, Shi Tingyu also noted that if force majeure occurs, the deadline will be extended. If the painting cannot be delivered due to personal reasons, the money needs to be returned.

As for the liability for breach of contract, Mr. Gao, who bought the painting, did not make any request.

Just because Shi Tingyu is the only one who can restore his wife's portrait, he will not impose any breach of contract liability. Even if he has to wait longer, he will wait.

Shi Tingyu looked at the embarrassed expressions of the two families, stood up and said to the Cao and Li families: "I will go and get the contract for you to see."

Mrs. Cao was a little panicked. Why show it to her? She didn't destroy the painting.

Shi Tingyu ignored their mood at the time, turned back to the east room, and took out the one with the amount and delivery date written on it.

She took the contract in her hand and pointed to the amount and date on it in front of the two families.

Curious people came over to take a look, and Shi Tingyu did not avoid them deliberately.

Everyone saw the three thousand yuan amount and the delivery date clearly.

Seeing that everyone had seen it, Shi Tingyu put the contract away.

If you want others to pay compensation, you have to prove that the money they want to pay is not made up by their family.

Seeing that both families have seen the amount and delivery date on the contract clearly, Lu Weiguo said, "The painting was destroyed by Kangzi, and the people were instigated by Sister Cao. If you want compensation, each family should pay half."

Sister Cao was furious when she heard it, "Why should I bear half! I didn't destroy the painting!"

Li Dongsheng and Liu Caixia remained silent. If Sister Cao could bear half of the compensation, they would not have to suffer so much.

Lu Weiguo didn't explain much, he just said a few words and made Mrs. Cao shut up.

"We are all from the same compound. It will be better for everyone if we settle it privately. It will be embarrassing

for everyone if we report it to the police station. Li Kang did it, but he is a minor, and someone instigated him. According to the law, those who instigate minors to commit crimes are accomplices." Everyone present was a military officer, and they all knew this.

Everyone nodded in agreement to what Lu Weiguo said. The law does indeed stipulate this.

Mrs. Cao's face turned pale and she sat down on the ground.

Their family's conditions could not catch up with the Li family, and fifteen hundred yuan was too much for them.

Seeing this, Lu Weiguo gave his wife a look.

The two played the good cop and the bad cop.

He finished playing the good cop, and it was the turn of the good cop.

He had seen his wife repairing the painting earlier, so he knew that the painting could be saved.

Since the painting can be saved, naturally both parties will not be asked to pay all the compensation, but the specific amount of compensation is still up to his wife.
