The deceased, Zheng Guoyuan, was 43 years old this year, at the age when he had elderly parents and young children to take care of.
When the Zheng family received the notice from Jing Fang, they suddenly fell into dark despair.
Everyone, young and old, cried hysterically in the hospital for a long time. Although they were in pain and despair, the result could not be changed: Zheng Guoyuan died.
After crying, the Zheng family members were grief-stricken, full of hatred and anger, and clamored to find the driver who was the culprit of the accident.
Lin Rou had been released on bail a long time ago, and the Zheng family hadn't even met her. For this reason, the Zheng family members were even more angry and started a commotion in the P police station.
At around 7 o'clock, several legal officers from Yantong went to the P police station.
Lin Rou was also notified by the police station. She contacted her secretary, Xiao Yang, who said she didn't need to go and that colleagues from the legal department would resolve the issue.
Confusing, hesitant, wavering, afraid... After wandering around the hospital restlessly for more than half an hour, Lin Rou finally decided to go and have a look.
After leaving the hospital, Lin Rou took a taxi and went to P Police Station.
Inside the P office, the legal staff's first round of negotiations obviously ended in failure.
The family members of the deceased Zheng Guoyuan were still in a state of rage and hatred at the moment, shouting and killing the legal officers. If it weren't for the police station's inspectors mediating, the family members would have probably beaten them up long ago.
Lin Rou was frightened by the sight of the family members with red eyes and ferocious faces shouting and yelling at the lawyer from a distance outside the police station.
Lin Rou swallowed fearfully and subconsciously hid aside, not daring to go in.
If she went in, she would probably be eaten alive by the deceased's family.
People who lose their minds because of anger are often the most terrifying, because when a person is impulsive, he can do anything.
I'm afraid he'd want to beat her to death!
Lin Rou was timid. She didn't dare to face the family of the deceased.
Without showing up, Lin Rou chose to leave. Before leaving, she took a last look at the person over there and silently said in her heart: I'm sorry.
She really didn't mean it.
If I could go back in time... Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Ultimately, the guilt for the deceased could not outweigh the worry for her own safety. Lin Rou was afraid, fearing that the deceased's family would do something extreme and hurt her. She did not dare to face them, and finally left quietly with guilt and self-blame.
The first round of negotiations ended in failure.
Yantong's legal team was not discouraged either. After all, the relatives of the deceased were in the most pain and anger. It was normal that they could not communicate and negotiations failed at this time.
Just calm down and everything will be fine.
Of course, relevant work still needs to be done.
Compared with the deceased's wife, parents, and children, the legal staff turned their attention to the deceased Zheng Guoyuan's brother-in-law, Hu Sanjin, whose emotions did not fluctuate much.
The legal officers met with Hu Sanjin for a private talk.
The lawyer was eloquent and after a conversation with him, considering the high compensation, it was obvious that my brother-in-law Hu Sanjin had listened to him and was very moved.
Hu Sanjin had a basic understanding of Zheng Guoyuan's family situation.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law are still alive, in their sixties, and there is an old lady in the family who is nearly eighty years old.
Zheng Guoyuan has two children, a 20-year-old son who is currently attending university, and a 17-year-old daughter who is currently attending high school.
Zheng Guoyuan's wife works in a textile factory and Zheng Guoyuan is an office director. The couple's salary is just enough to make a living.
With elderly parents and young children to take care of, life is quite difficult.
Now that Zheng Guoyuan, the pillar of the family, is dead, how will they live in the future?
Hu Sanjin was only slightly sad for a while about the death of his brother-in-law Zheng Guoyuan, but he was more worried!
We have to consider the reality that if Zheng Guoyuan dies, what will happen to his father-in-law, mother-in-law and grandmother?
My father-in-law, mother-in-law and grandmother are typical farmers. They have no pension and can't support themselves by growing vegetables in the countryside.
His wife, Zheng Guoyuan's sister Zheng Guoai, married out. As a daughter who married out, they did not need to provide for their parents-in-law in their old age. They only needed to go back to visit them during the holidays and give them some money during the Chinese New Year. That was enough as a token of their appreciation.
But now, my brother-in-law Zheng Guoyuan is dead. Even if his wife is willing to support the elderly, her salary may not be enough to support two children.
The burden of supporting his parents in their old age would undoubtedly fall on his son-in-law. But he was powerless! His wife was busy taking care of their granddaughter and didn't earn any money. His son had to pay the mortgage, and their small family struggled financially. He also had his parents to support, and he was working hard to earn a living.
He really can't afford it.
Reality is always so heavy.
The person is dead. Even if the driver is killed, can he come back to life?
No way!
Therefore, high compensation is more realistic.
The persuaded brother-in-law Hu Sanjin immediately started to persuade his wife Zheng Guoai. Zheng Guoai was also quickly convinced and returned to the Zheng family to act as a lobbyist.
The Zheng family, after the initial anger subsided and they calmed down a little, the reality was before them.
He was their son, their husband, their father, the pillar of the family. If the pillar fell, the family would collapse!
After sadness and anger ferment over time and settle down, what lies before our eyes is: reality!
People cannot escape reality.
Zheng Guoyuan's wife and Zheng Guoyuan's elderly parents have to consider: their son and grandson are still in college, and their daughter and granddaughter are still in high school. Studying costs money!
