"I can't be so selfish and put all the burden on you. This should be my job."
Xia Yanbing looked at his brother and knew that he was worried about this. He sighed and said:
"It's okay, brother. I can make money. Don't forget. When you finish your studies, you will definitely make more money than me. If you feel bad about it, just spend the money on me."
Seeing that his brother was still hesitating, Xia Yanbing said, "If you don't agree, I'll go home and tell my parents, and they'll punish you."
Brother Xia looked at his younger siblings and said bitterly, "Let me think about it and talk about it tomorrow. I'll think about it carefully."
"You need to think carefully about such a big thing. But brother, don't worry about what will happen next. Go and study for a year first. I still have things for you to do."
"I know."
After talking about her own affairs, Xia Jin talked about her cousin's affairs. After everything was arranged, they went back to rest.

On Monday at noon, Xia Jin and Gu Jingmo were walking home when they heard everyone talking about the Luo family. Hearing this, she looked at the people around her.
Gu Jingmo patted her head and said, "Who really thought it was true? The news came out this morning because this incident is indeed the biggest thing that has happened in the past few years."
"It's also to warn everyone and serve as a negative example so they can learn from it. Therefore, the government has made all the details of this case public."
"This also includes the murder they committed. This is truly unprecedented in recent years, so within a few hours, the news spread quickly and almost everyone knew about it."
Xia Jin said as he walked: "So what happened to them in the end?"
"Father Luo and his accomplices at the factory were sentenced to death, but his wife, who had no involvement in the incident, was only sentenced to a few years of forced labor."
"They'll have to make up for the factory's losses over the past few years, and they'll also have to compensate the victims. Your classmate should have been released today."
Xia Jin nodded and said, "I don't know if they can come up with the money. What if they spend all the money? Are we going to let them escape?"
"Of course not. If they've spent all the money, they can just mortgage the house or something. The police will definitely have their own way anyway. They don't have to think about not paying it back anyway."
"That's great. In this way, Aunt Cuihong can also get some money. That's great. Their life will definitely get better and better."
"If they hadn't swallowed up their family's compensation, their family wouldn't have to live so hard. They're doing much better now."
Gu Jingmo smiled and said, "This was also the result of poor supervision by the factory leaders at the time. Normally, this would have been punished, after all, such a big mistake occurred under his management."
"No matter what, she is responsible for so many things, but later I thought about it and realized that he was the one who discovered this matter, and so many leaders from their factory were arrested."
"If he were punished again, the factory would be leaderless, so they docked his wages for a few months and asked him to write a self-criticism to read at the meeting."
"After all, as a factory director, you don't know what's going on in the factory. You're really derelict in your duty as a factory director."
Xia Jin nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. If he had been more strict in management, or had been more familiar with the situation in the factory, some of these things could have been avoided."
Later, Gu Jingmo said that the matter had been known to the superiors. Murder had been concealed for so many years, and the impact was really bad. In order to warn the people behind him not to do this, a parade was organized.
County Chief Tian and Factory Director Wang were called there and were scolded. After all, such a big thing happened under their management, and they didn't find out about it until so long. This was their dereliction of duty.

The Luo family originally went to the police station in the morning and wanted to continue waiting there, but unexpectedly they released their grandson.
Before they could be happy, they received the bad news that their son wanted to execute their daughter-in-law and send her to labor camp. Grandma Luo couldn't bear the blow and fainted on the spot.
Luo Zisen hurriedly carried her to the hospital. After she woke up after receiving two bottles of medicine in the hospital, he asked sadly whether this was true.
After hearing his grandson say it was true, he almost fainted again. Fortunately, Grandpa Luo pinched his Ren Zhong and he did not faint.
She started crying as soon as she heard that her family would have to pay so much money, she cried even louder.
Grandpa Luo comforted her here, and then asked Luo Zisen to go back and tell his grandmother the news, and go home to change clothes and take a shower. His body was smelly after being locked up in there for a few days.
When she went to her grandmother's house and got the news, the old woman almost fainted and sat down on the ground, her legs so weak that she couldn't stand up.
They helped her to the bed, and she began to cry, "My daughter, why are you so miserable, my daughter?"
After crying for her daughter, she cried for Luo Zisen. She knew that her grandson was completely ruined. He could still go to school, but how could he go without money?
Besides, everyone here knows about this matter. If they knew that their children were in the same school as the murderer, they would definitely make a fuss.
At that time, the school will definitely expel his grandson to reduce the impact, and no factory will be willing to hire him when he looks for a job. The fact that his father is a murderer will affect his life.
Unless he goes outside, to the south, to a place where no one knows him and start a new life, but he is still young and has never lived on his own since he was a child. How can he survive outside?
Not only was she thinking about these things, but Grandpa Luo and the other two were also thinking about these things. Their son was gone, and they couldn't save him, but their grandson was still there, and his future life was what they needed to consider.
Finally, Grandpa Luo thought that after they had completed all the procedures and paid all the compensation, the old couple would sell their house here and return to their hometown.
Then he gave the money to his grandson and asked him to take it out. Isn't the south developing very well now? Let him go anywhere and use the money to start a small business or find a job.
If the villagers despised them for being the parents of a murderer and excluded them, they would follow their grandson to the south, where they would be able to take care of him and feel more at ease.
After thinking about all this, Grandma Luo also thought about their future life. Those who knew them would definitely exclude them. No one would associate with a family that had a murderer or a labor camp prisoner.
