Chapter 210: The scenes from her past life suddenly hurt her
When the police arrived, the man had already subdued the men and collected all the evidence.
All the evidence points to the cleaning company making an operational error that resulted in the old man being killed.
The dead cannot be resurrected, and mistakes do not cost them their lives. But the men demanded that they go to jail and pay compensation.
The man was ruthless and the evidence was complete. If she wanted to avoid jail time, she had to gain the man's forgiveness.
"Mom, we can't be bullied like this!" Wen Jing was very angry after learning the whole story and was determined to seek justice. But Deng Xiuzhen grabbed her.
Wen Yu calmed down a lot, looked at Deng Xiuzhen and asked, "Mom, do I have to pay?"
Deng Xiuzhen nodded: "Although the old lady was in poor health and could no longer hold on, she was still alive when we went there. It was indeed me who knocked over the bed rails and hit her."
Wen Xin has become much less talkative since that incident. At this moment, she just looked at Deng Xiuzhen and said nothing.
"But he can't ask for too much!" Wen Jing said indignantly.
"Forget it. Let's not bother with that kind of person. Just take a little loss." Deng Xiuzhen said with a sigh.
"Mom, how much does he want?" Wen Yu asked.
"How much? He wants one million!" Wen Jing was so angry that she gasped.
"What? One million? Even a young and strong man would only be compensated 500,000 or 600,000, but a dying old man is asked to pay one million? Isn't he robbing money?" Wen Yu's voice broke.
"Mom, are you really going to pay so much? This is blackmail, I can't give it to you, do you understand?" Wen Jing raised her voice.
"I..." Deng Xiuzhen just opened her mouth, but was interrupted. Tan Yanlin came over, looked at Deng Xiuzhen and muttered: "I'm hungry"
Before Deng Xiuzhen could even open her mouth, Tan Wenjing had already started to pull Tan Yanlin away: "Stop making trouble! Go to the side and wait for a moment!"
"Please wait a moment, we'll talk for a few minutes and then we'll start cooking right away." Wen Yu spoke tactfully, but Deng Xiuzhen could see the impatience in his eyes.
She was a little bit unbelievable: Do the children dislike Tan Yanlin?
She couldn't help but think of her past life, and the scenes from her past life suddenly hurt her.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Deng Xiuzhen standing there in a daze without saying anything, Wen Jing and Wen Yu calmed down and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I just suddenly feel a little dizzy. I'll be fine after a rest. We'll talk about it later." Deng Xiuzhen wanted to calm herself down.
"Okay, okay, then you take a rest. We'll go cook and talk after we eat."
The three children, Wenxin and Wenjing went to the kitchen to cook. Wenyu poured Deng Xiuzhen a cup of hot water and sat next to her, asking her how she felt, with obvious concern in his eyes.
After drinking a cup of hot water, Deng Xiuzhen felt much better. She turned her head to look at Tan Yanlin, who was sitting there blankly like a three-year-old child with a look of grievance in his eyes. Deng Xiuzhen made a decision: to test the children. She wanted to know what the two children's attitude towards Tan Yanlin was just now, was it because they were impatient and didn't pay attention to their words and actions, or was it because they were unfilial in their bones.
The meal was ready quickly. Wen Yu went to call Tan Yanlin. Wen Jing first served a bowl of soup to Tan Yanlin and Deng Xiuzhen respectively, and kindly reminded them to be careful not to get burned, and then served herself the meal.
"Mom, we can't let the other party ask for such a high price." Wen Yu spoke after taking a bite of rice.
"I consulted a lawyer and also found someone to help mediate. I don't need one million, but at least three or four hundred thousand." Deng Xiuzhen lowered her head and looked so worried that she couldn't eat. In fact, the man, Yao Chenchen's father, was a bastard gambler. Not only did he gamble, he also committed many crimes. At first, he asked for one million, and he was full of confidence. He planned not to give in, and he would get one or eight hundred thousand from Deng Xiuzhen.
Unfortunately, Deng Xiuzhen contacted Tian Guoqiang, who sent people to investigate him thoroughly and wanted to arrest him and put him in jail for extortion. He immediately backed down. He agreed to give 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. If it really didn't work, he would not even ask for the money. After all, he didn't dare to touch the people who were protected by the leaders of the public security system. He was just a lazy, gambler, and coward. He could scare ordinary timid people, but when he really faced a ruthless person, he would run the fastest.
Fortunately, Deng Xiuzhen didn't want to have a bad reputation and affect the company, so she promised to compensate him 150,000 yuan. He quickly agreed and signed the settlement.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't intend to lie to the children, but she was interrupted by the children as soon as she opened her mouth, and she didn't have time to say the rest. Seeing their attitude towards Tan Yanlin, she didn't want to say anything more.
"Three hundred thousand or four hundred thousand? That's about right!" Wen Jing and Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Wen Xin ate her meal silently without saying a word.
well……
Deng Xiuzhen let out a long sigh, pushed the bowl and chopsticks aside, and couldn't eat anymore.
mom?
Several children looked at Deng Xiuzhen together.
"We used the family's money to buy this house, and invested the extra money in the company. We didn't expect so many problems to happen. As a result, the company didn't make a penny and even lost a lot. Now the family can't even come up with 300,000 or 400,000 yuan..." Deng Xiuzhen said, sighing repeatedly.
"Mom, don't worry. If we don't have money, we can borrow from Grandpa Zhao and pay him back when we make money." Wen Jing reacted quickly and found a way to deal with it immediately, which made Deng Xiuzhen secretly stunned for a moment.
"But given our situation, it may be difficult to pay back the money." Deng Xiuzhen said and looked at Tan Yanlin.
"The company can't make money anymore?" Wen Yu asked.
"Are you stupid? You must be unable to make money, that's why your mom is so anxious!" Wen Jing rolled her eyes at Wen Yu.
Wen Yu did not respond, but just looked at Deng Xiuzhen.
"The company is always having problems and has already started to make losses. Especially this time, your father, Aunt Zhang and I all got into trouble. There's no one to take care of the company. Not only did we not make a penny, but even a lot of our things were taken away. Now we don't have a single client, otherwise five or six of us wouldn't have gone to that old lady's house. If we hadn't gone there, we wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing. Alas..." Deng Xiuzhen said and sighed heavily.
"How about we sell the company? After that, you can find something else to do. Everything will be fine when I graduate." Wen Jing suggested.
"Yes, Mom, nothing good has happened since this company opened. My sister is right. You should sell the company and we can live frugally and get by. When we graduate, we will support you and Dad." Wen Yu said seriously.
"But the company can't be sold for much money now, not even enough to pay compensation. You have to pay tuition and living expenses." Deng Xiuzhen said embarrassedly.
Wen Jing looked at Tan Yanlin, pursed her lips and said, "Mom, don't worry, let's borrow money from Grandpa Zhao first and get through this difficult time. As for paying back the money, I don't think Grandpa Zhao will force us. I will graduate next year, and when I start working, I will be able to earn money to pay back the debt."
