"Qiaowa, it turns out that Arou's relative is sick. No wonder she has to be hospitalized to take care of the patient."
Mo Yan pulled Lu Siqiao along and looked inside through the glass window.
As the sun set, Li Rou peeled an orange, whispering softly to the woman on the hospital bed, and even put a segment of orange into the woman's mouth.
The woman bore a resemblance to Li Rou, but her face was haggard and her eyes were empty. Even when Li Rou tried her best to please her, she could only force a smile, her eyes revealing a sense of despair.
Mo Yan suggested going in to take a look, but before they could even step inside, three people rushed in from outside. Before they even arrived, they shouted, "Zhou Yuemei, I heard you're trying to keep my son's compensation money for yourself. You wish!"
The one who was cursing was an old woman in her sixties, with a sharp and mean-spirited appearance. She rushed up to the woman, put her hands on her hips, and said, "You brought death to my son, and I haven't settled that score with you yet. Quickly hand over the compensation for my son!"
Upon hearing this, Li Rou quickly stood up and angrily said, "Grandma, that money is compensation for the car accident. You only have three percent, which is 100,000 yuan. This was agreed upon beforehand, and the lawyer has also discussed it with you. Stop talking nonsense!"
It turned out that Li Rou's father had passed away and her mother was ill.
"Bullshit! Why should you get 200,000 while I, his own mother, only get 100,000?" the old lady said indignantly. "Zhou Yuemei, are you colluding with the lawyer to embezzle my son's compensation money?"
"Grandma, this compensation is arranged according to the order of heirs. The state has a basis for this. My mother and I will each get one share, and you will get one share. If you have any objections, you can go and ask a lawyer. If that doesn't work, you can appeal!" Seeing her mother's pained expression, Li Rou pushed the old lady and the man and woman behind her out and said rudely.
The old lady slapped her across the face and cursed, "You good-for-nothing, you have no manners! How dare you talk to me like that? If Li Shen hadn't been responsible for you and your daughter, he wouldn't have married your mother. Look, you've only been married for two years and you've already killed him! What a tragedy!"
Seeing this, the other patients nearby advised, "Grandma, please watch your words. The child's mother is also sick. If you have any complaints, you should wait until she has had surgery. Then everything can be discussed."
This was a three-bed hospital room, which became incredibly crowded after the old lady and others barged in.
A little while later, the nurse came over.
"Madam, this is a hospital. No noise and disturbances are allowed. If you keep acting like this, we'll call the police." The nurse chased them out.
But the old woman was incredibly fierce. She sat on the ground, throwing a tantrum and complaining, "I lost my husband early in life, and now my son is gone too. My heartless daughter-in-law is even embezzling my compensation money. She's trying to drive this old woman to her death!"
Li Rou, her face ashen, stepped forward to help her up: "Grandma, why don't you go home first? I'll come back to find you later."
The old lady ignored her.
She then turned to the man and woman beside her for help, saying, "Uncle and Aunt, please try to persuade my grandma!"
Helpless, the couple feigned innocence and tried to persuade her instead: "Arou, your father was the most filial to your grandmother when he was alive. There are too many unreasonable aspects to this compensation. Why should you and your mother receive two shares while your grandmother only receives one? When you grow up, you can work and earn money, but your grandmother can only live off her parents. What will she eat?"
“Uncle, what are you saying? Don’t you need to support Grandma? Why should Grandma rely entirely on that compensation money for her old age?” Li Rou wasn’t stupid either, and retorted.
Li Zhi said with a roguish grin, "Your uncle is incompetent. Whoever is capable should contribute more."
“My mother is currently undergoing surgery, and the surgery alone cost 100,000 yuan. She needs the remaining money for her recovery. We don’t have much money,” Li Rouyi said firmly. “I no longer have a father, and I will not give up the remaining money. If you have any objections, you can go to the police or a lawyer!”
Seeing that she was unyielding, the old lady went crazy and started scratching her face, even raising her hand to hit her.
The nurses and others stepped forward to stop them, but were blocked by Zhou Zhi and others.
Just as the situation was getting out of control, a small figure slipped in.
She grabbed the old lady's hand, and when she loosened her grip slightly, she rammed into her second son, Zhou Zhi.
"You brat, how dare you hit me!" Upon seeing who it was, the old woman flew into a rage, her sharp eyes seeming to spit fire.
Lu Siqiao brandished the camera in her hand and said coldly, "I've already called the police and recorded photos of you hitting someone. If you have any problems later, talk to the police and your lawyer."
Grandma Zhong was taken aback when she realized that the woman had been secretly filming her from the side. She panicked and yelled, "You brat, who are you? What business is it of yours what the Zhou family does!"
Li Rou was also surprised by Lu Siqiao and Mo Yan's sudden appearance. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and her eyes reddened.
"Arou, you don't need to worry about it, leave it to Qiaowa." Mo Yan came up and held her hand, indicating that she should leave it alone.
Lu Siqiao walked up to the Zhou family and said calmly, "I am Li Rou's classmate. Her business is my business."
"You brat, hand over the photos!" Zhou Zhi seized the opportunity to try and snatch the camera, but Lu Siqiao stuck out her foot to block him, and he fell face-first into the mud.
Lu Siqiao said coldly, "What's the rush? The police are almost here. Aren't you in the right?"
“We’re in the right. My son is dead, and Zhou Yuemei and her daughter are robbing me. What’s wrong with me going back?” Old Mrs. Zhong said shamelessly, even as she was about to die.
Exhausted by these shameless, money-grubbing relatives, Li Rou said, "We've already given you the money. The 300,000 yuan compensation is divided into three parts: one for the spouse, one for the children, and one for the parents. What more do you want? My mother is sick and urgently needs money for surgery. You not only won't help, but you also want to drive my mother and me to our deaths!"
"Hmph, that's what your mother deserved! You and your daughter brought death to my Ah Shen, and he's come back to haunt her!" Old Mrs. Zhong shouted. "I'm not being unreasonable, just hand over the 50,000 yuan. Otherwise, I'm not finished with you!"
I've never seen anyone demand money so arrogantly and domineeringly.
Li Rou's mother, Zhou Yuemei, fainted from anger. She rushed forward with the nurses to help, but in the ensuing chaos, she couldn't even attend to Old Mrs. Zhong.
Grandma Zhong and the others were driven out of the ward to wait. They were still angry and continued to curse and swear, which was extremely vicious.
"Excuse me, who is Miss Lu Siqiao?"
A middle-aged man in a suit appeared before the crowd, followed by two police officers.
Upon seeing the police officers in uniform, the Li family finally quieted down and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lu Siqiao stepped forward and began to speak with the middle-aged man.
"Hello Ms. Lu, I am Feng Qici, a lawyer who handles civil and other cases..." Feng Qici handed over his business card and introduced himself. He did not look down on Lu Siqiao because of her youth.
Lu Siqiao briefly recounted the situation of the Li family's disturbance and said calmly, "Uncle Feng, I have only one request: the Li family must not harass Ms. Zhou Yuemei again. Moreover, they should be taught a lesson for forcibly demanding a share of the compensation."
The Li family was dumbfounded.
Who is this little girl?
