Lu Jiaxin didn't want to argue with Lu Hongjun, so she said loudly, "What can two thousand yuan do? The resettlement fee should be at least ten thousand."

This amount not only shocked Lu Hongjun, but also shocked Lu Jiaguang and Liao Xiangmei. Ten thousand, it's a pity that this girl asked for it.

Ding Jing almost screamed, but luckily she controlled herself at the last moment: "Jia Xin, we only have 2,000 yuan in savings at home."

Lu Jiaxin sneered and said to Lu Hongjun, "The bed, wardrobe, sofa, color TV, refrigerator, washing machine and other things in our house were all bought when my mother was alive. If you don't give me money, I will move all these things over, and then write about how Zhao Siyi hooked up with Fan Yinuo and Ding Jing drugged my food so that I failed the college entrance examination and submit it to newspapers and magazines. If it's quick, you can see your name in newspapers or magazines in half a month."

Lu Hongjun's face turned green: "Lu Jiaxin, are you crazy?"

If she really did this, not only would she be embarrassed, but her company might also force her to retire early.

Lu Jiaxin pointed at Ding Jing and said, "That's right, I'm crazy. You guys drove me crazy. I was stupid before. I just hid in my bed and cried when I was wronged. If anyone wants to make life difficult for me in the future, she won't be able to live a good life either. If not, we'll die together."

Lu Jiaguang originally thought that 10,000 yuan was too much for settling in, but after hearing what Lu Jiaxin said, he thought it would be better to ask for more so as not to give Ding a bargain: "Uncle, you only have Jiaxin as your child, and your things will all be hers in the future. Although 10,000 yuan is a lot, you can afford it, so just agree to her!"

If Ding Jing hadn't still had some sense left, she would have rushed up and scratched Lu Jiaguang in the face.

Lu Jiajie also agreed, "Yes, Third Uncle, your property will be left to Xinxin a hundred years from now. It doesn't matter whether you give it to her now or in the future."

Ding Jing couldn't help it anymore and said loudly: "It's easy for you to say, 10,000 yuan, where does our family have so much money?"

The Lu brothers ignored her and just looked at Lu Hongjun.

Lu Hongjun sighed and said, "I'll give you 5,000 first, and I'll give you the rest next year."

Lu Jiaxin couldn't let him delay that long: "Although I don't take care of things, I still know roughly how much money the family has in savings. Give me 6,000 first, 2,000 before the New Year, and the rest before the Dragon Boat Festival next year."

She actually has something on Ding Jing, but she is not capable enough to take this step now. Lu Hongjun has been operating in Sijiu City for so many years, and he must have accumulated many connections. She might need them in the future, so it is better not to fall out with him. Of course, if he doesn't give her a penny, she doesn't mind falling out with him. She is not like her original self who has feelings for Lu Hongjun, so she can still gain sympathy after a falling out. Lu Hongjun and Ding Jing will be so infamous that even Zhao Siyi may not be able to stay in school.

Lu Hongjun was silent for a while, but finally agreed: "Xiao Jing, go and take out two thousand. Jia Xin, use the two thousand to buy you things, and save the remaining eight thousand as a dowry."

He did this to prevent Lu Jiaxin from squandering the money, or for someone to find out and take the money away.

Lu Jiaxin agreed.

Seeing that Ding Jing didn't move, Lu Hongjun said, "Xiao Jing, go get the money."

Ding Jing said tearfully, "Hongjun, I have saved more than 2,000 yuan in the past four years by living frugally. Now you openly offer us 10,000 yuan. How are we going to live in the future?"

Lu Hongjun pulled her into the house and came out after a while. He handed a dozen large treasuries to Lu Jiaxin and said, "Use them sparingly. Don't spend money like water like before."

How could there be only 5,000 yuan in savings when the family could keep 2,000 yuan in cash? Lu Jiaxin felt that she would lose 10,000 yuan, so she would have to find a way to get money from Lu Hongjun in the future.

After Lu Jiaxin took the money, she looked at Ding Jing and said, "There are a full closet of clothes, more than 20 pairs of shoes, and two sets of skin care products. If I don't want the things, it will be three thousand. Give it to me within three days, or I will go to the police to sue Ding Wen for theft."

Lu Jiaxin snorted and said, "As soon as I left Sijiu City, you couldn't wait to take away my passbook and valuables in the house, and gave my clothes, shoes and socks to Ding Wen to eliminate any trace of my existence. In addition, you let your lackeys spread rumors in the family compound that I was sold to a low-class place by human traffickers. Ding Jing, I just want compensation, but you want to kill me so that Zhao Siyi can inherit my father's property and connections."

Ding Jing discovered that Lu Jiaxin's words were now sharper than a knife.

A dark light flashed in Lu Jiaguang's eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Xinxin, don't worry. If the Ding family doesn't want to compensate, I will go to the Water Affairs Bureau to ask for it for you."

The second in command of the Water Affairs Bureau was the brother-in-law of his comrade-in-arms. With this relationship, the Ding family dared not not pay the compensation.

Ding Jing knew about this relationship. She suppressed her anger and said, "Three thousand is too much. Those clothes, shoes and socks are not worth that much money. At most, one thousand."

Lu Jiaxin said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, three thousand, not a cent less."

Lu Jiajie rolled his eyes and said, "It's okay if the Ding family doesn't want to pay compensation. Let them buy Xinxin new clothes, shoes and socks. They must be exactly the same."

Ding Jing didn't say anything else. Lu Jiaxin's clothes, shoes and socks were all branded goods, and several of her winter clothes and shoes were brought back from Hong Kong. These few items alone cost more than a thousand yuan. If she wanted to buy everything, three thousand yuan would be far from enough.

Seeing that she had compromised, Lu Jiaguang said to Lu Jiaxin, "Just take the valuables. I'll have Jiajie deliver the rest to you later."

He's going to call a small truck tomorrow, but it won't be enough to carry all these things.

"good."

The settlement fee and compensation were finalized, and Lu Jiaxin also had to deal with another matter. She looked at Liao Xiangmei, who had always treated her as invisible, and said, "Aunt Liao, Fan Yinuo and Zhao Siyi have been dating for more than half a year. I don't want to be the bad guy, and my father and eldest and fifth brothers are here, so the engagement is cancelled."

She asked Liao Xiangmei to come over, firstly as a witness, and secondly to take the opportunity to cancel the engagement.

When Liao Xiangmei received Lu Jiaxin's call, she knew that she could no longer keep the secret and that the engagement could no longer be extended. She said sadly, "Xinxin, it's because Auntie didn't teach Yinuo well that you have been wronged."

Lu Jiaxin took out a silver safety lock from her pocket and handed it to Liao Xiangmei: "This is the token you gave me when our two families got engaged. I'm returning it to you now."

Liao Xiangmei held Lu Jiaxin's hand and said, "Xinxin, I will go to your mother's grave tomorrow to apologize to her. You can keep the silver lock as a gift from your aunt. I didn't bring the jade pendant your mother gave you today, but I will give it to you tomorrow."

Lu Jiaxin put the silver lock in Liao Xiangmei's hand and said, "Aunt Liao, this is the safety lock that Fan Yinuo wore when he was a child. I can't keep it. If you don't want it, I will just throw it away."

Liao Xiangmei sighed, took the silver lock, held Lu Jiaxin's hand and said, "Xinxin, it's Yinuo's fault that he doesn't know how to cherish her. Don't let this affect our relationship."

Lu Jiaxin refused outright: "Aunt Liao, Brother Yinuo and I are engaged. If we continue to have frequent contact, he and Zhao Siyi will think that I haven't let it go."
