Chapter 272 Pay the money and send them away

Shi Tingyu received the man's gaze, looked at Cao's wife and the others and said, "I will do my best to repair the painting. We all live in the same compound, so I won't let you pay for it all. You two families can pay half of the money."

After hearing this, the Cao and Li families both breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, each of them had to pay 1,500 yuan, but now they only have to pay 750 yuan. Isn't it a relief?

They must feel distressed, especially Cao's wife. She calculated in her mind that 750 yuan is almost the money their family can save in a year.

But it's better than paying 1,500 yuan.

Shi Tingyu considered more.

They invited people to the first birthday banquet, one is to invite people with good relationships, and the other is to invite people who have personal connections and need to go out.

No matter which one it is, everyone still has face.

The painting she worked so hard on was destroyed, and she felt the most distressed, but she also had to take some consideration into account.

The painting could be repaired, and if they insisted on asking the other party to pay in full, then their family would inevitably be accused of being too cruel.

The military district leaders would inevitably have opinions about their family, and she didn't care, but Lu Weiguo was still in the military system.

Asking them to pay 750 each would be enough to make them feel painful for a long time.

Seeing that Shi Tingyu had already stated the solution and no one from the two families raised any objections, Feng Wei spoke a few words on behalf of the Lu family.

"My sister-in-law is very open about what she does. Even if this painting can be repaired, the effect will definitely not be as good as the original one. It has also damaged your sister-in-law's reputation and reputation. It is possible that future paintings will be affected or cannot be sold at a high price."

"However, since my sister-in-law said that she only wants to pay half, then is this matter settled?"

Feng Wei looked at the Cao and Li families inquiringly.

"We have no objection." Li Dongsheng said.

Cao Kun also said, "We have no objection either."

Everyone's faces relaxed when they heard this, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Everyone went to the yard in groups of three or two to chat again.

Lu Weiguo stepped forward and patted Feng Wei on the shoulder and said, "Thank you."

"It should be." Feng Wei said that this matter really should be discussed by him.

Han Tuan and Xu Zhengwei had a good relationship with Lao Lu, but they could not say these words.

Li Dongsheng and Cao Kun were both battalion-level officers. If the two regiment-level officers spoke up, it would inevitably make people feel that they were bullying others.

Only he, a battalion-level instructor, said this to prevent people from gossiping.

Others could continue to talk and laugh, but the Cao and Li families could not stay any longer.

They said goodbye to Lu Weiguo and his wife, as well as Lu's father and mother. After something like this happened, they could not stay there any longer.

Li Dongsheng said, "I'm really sorry for what happened today. We've ruined our good life. We will educate the child well when we go back. As for the compensation, I'll send it to you after I get the money this afternoon. Now we'll take the child back first."

Lu Weiguo nodded. Seeing that the other party spoke in a sincere tone, he also said a few words, "Old people can't help but spoil their children. Now the child is still young, and some of his personality and habits are still in the process of being formed. It's not too late to educate him well now."

Li Dongsheng nodded, with mixed feelings in his heart.

This time he went back, he had to pay attention to the child's education.

Li Dongsheng and his family left, and Cao Kun and Cao's wife also came to say goodbye.

Cao Kun's face was gloomy at this time. He sighed and said, "Captain Lu, this time I made things difficult for you. I will talk to your sister-in-law when I go back. The compensation money will be sent to you tomorrow at the latest."

Lu Weiguo nodded without saying much. The matter was resolved. As for Cao's sister-in-law, she would definitely not dare to use their family to make trouble in the future.

Maybe they felt that the birthday banquet was a bit unpleasant, Feng Wei and others did not go back until the evening, and they had to dilute the unpleasantness with a whole afternoon of jokes.

Lu Weiguo had a headache when he saw Feng Wei jumping up and down.

The sky gradually darkened. After sending away the last wave of guests, the Lu family finally regained peace.

Finally, Lu's mother had the opportunity to talk to Shi Tingyu alone, "Xiaoyu, can your painting really be repaired? If not, I have some money in my hand, you can use it first."

Shi Tingyu was somewhat moved and pulled Lu's mother's hand to go back to the house to get the money, "Don't worry, Mom, the oil painting can be repaired. When the canvas is dry, I will just paint on it again."

Seeing that she said it lightly, Lu's mother spoke doubtfully, "Mom doesn't understand painting, don't fool me."

Shi Tingyu did not know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, it's true. If you don't believe me, you can watch by my side while I repair it. When it's repaired, you can see if it's different from before."

Lu's mother nodded solemnly. She had to watch. Nowadays, children only report good news and not worries.

They are not yet unable to move, so those who can help the children should help, and there is no need to let the children carry everything by themselves.

In the evening, when Lu's mother was making dinner, Li Dongsheng came over with a big stack of reunions.

He hurriedly gave the money to Lu Weiguo, said hello and left, as he had things to deal with at home.

He originally said that he would come to give the money in the afternoon, but he didn't expect that after returning home, the old lady heard about it and made a big fuss. She bluntly

said that she wanted to settle the score with Mrs. Cao next door.

If he and Caixia hadn't intervened, the two families would have had to fight.

It was also the first time in his life that he got angry with the old lady.

When he came to return the money, the old lady was still crying at home.

He decided to send the old lady back tomorrow. He also had to tell his grandfather about this and let him temper the old lady.

Cao Kun's family was no exception.

He knew that his wife had been offended by the old lady next door, but Cao Kun felt that his wife was not fair.

Although he lost more than 700 yuan this time, he didn't think of doing anything to his wife.

His wife has always been the most stingy with money. After spending more than 700 yuan, she would never do such a thing again next time without his teaching.

But he didn't intend to say it. His wife couldn't bear the pain of the money she lost, so she sat on the bed and cried when she got home.

Coupled with the loud voice of the old lady next door, his wife cried even harder.

Mrs. Cao wanted to go over and argue with the old lady, but the words that Lu Weiguo said at that time about inciting juvenile delinquency were still ringing in her ears. She was also afraid that the old lady next door would really hold on to this, so she could only swallow her resentment.

Fortunately, such days ended in less than two days.

Because the next day, Li Dongsheng sent the old lady away. Two

days later, Mrs. Cao heard the movement next door. This time Liu Caixia's mother was taken in.

After Li Dongsheng sent the old lady away, there was no one to take care of the child, so he thought of his mother-in-law. After discussing with his wife, he took his mother-in-law over and gave her thirty yuan a month to help take care of the child.

On the day when Liu's mother came, Mrs. Cao met each other in the corridor.

Liu's mother smiled and nodded to her and went into the house.

She was a kind person, and after what happened when Cao's wife instigated her grandson, she decided that even if she hated the other party's behavior, she could not break up with the other party.

Otherwise, if the other party used some tricks at any time, her grandson would be in danger.

The previous incident of the other party instigating her grandson was an example.

Since then, although the Cao and Li families have not interacted much, they can still maintain a superficial peace.
