Xiao Yuanbing wasn't there to die. Seeing Lin Wei's reaction, he quickly explained, "No, no, it's not for Yuanyuan. It's like this, do you remember the boy you saved before your college entrance exam? A boy about your age?"
Lin Wei nodded, and her initial suspicions instantly vanished as she realized what tricks these two were up to.
Yes, those were copper coins.
The person behind us is so tempting, it's time to make a move on him.
Even though she was mentally prepared, she still didn't expect these people to be so shameless—
“That’s my nephew. I overheard your mother mentioning him, and that’s how I found out that you were the one who saved him.”
"Thank you so much back then. If it weren't for you, my nephew would have been killed by that car bomb. We've been trying to find that girl, and we never expected her to be right in front of us. Weiwei, it's all fate."
Xiao Yuanbing waved the gift in his hand, "I've come to express my gratitude, truly just to say thank you."
"Of course, I've heard about your brother's situation, but I'm not your uncle, so I have no reason to covet Yuanyuan, and therefore..."
If she hadn't been trying her best to hold it in, Lin Wei really felt she would have burst out laughing.
Why are these people always able to make things that don't exist sound like the truth?
But now that these two have arrived, they certainly won't give up until they achieve their goal.
Instead of driving people away, it's better to speak frankly and clearly.
Besides, that copper coin was already lost when her father died, wasn't it?
Lin Wei looked at Lin Xiaomeng and, after obtaining her aunt's consent, invited her into the house.
Lin Yuan took the initiative to clear the table of dishes and chopsticks. Lin Wei politely poured a cup of tea for the two of them before sitting down.
"If it's about your nephew, there's no need to be so polite. Anyone would have done the same in that situation."
“That’s different. You saved a life, so I should come to thank you in person, both morally and practically.” Xiao Yuanbing pushed the gifts he brought towards them. “They’re nothing valuable, but please accept them.”
Lin Xiao tried to decline, saying, "No, it's no trouble at all."
"Please don't refuse. Actually, I should have brought my nephew along to thank you, but he was seriously injured and is still in the hospital."
"Oh, was he badly injured? Yes, when I dragged him out, he was covered in blood, especially his face, which was covered in blood. I couldn't even see what he looked like." Lin Wei asked again, "Is he alright?"
"It's alright, he's just too weak and needs to rest. He can't be discharged from the hospital yet. I'll bring him to your home later to thank you in person."
That concludes the discussion.
Seeing that the conversation was getting off-topic, Xiao Yuanbing gave Ni Fang a wink.
Ni Fang immediately asked, "Weiwei, I remember when you woke up, didn't his nephew leave you a copper coin? That copper coin is the Xiao family's heirloom. Boss Xiao's idea is, can we return the copper coin to their family?"
"Of course, just name your conditions, after all, you saved his nephew's life."
"Oh, it's about the copper coins." Lin Wei suddenly realized, but only said, "Uncle Xiao is that person's uncle, so I should return the copper coins to you. But Mom, you know that copper coin was lost a long time ago. I asked you if you had seen my copper coins the day you and Uncle moved away."
“I remember, but I was worried that you might have made a mistake. You always treasured those copper coins, how could you suddenly lose them that day?”
Lin Wei pretended to blame her, "It didn't just suddenly disappear. The string that held the copper coin was the old string you gave me. It wasn't tied tightly and had fallen twice before, but because I was careful, I picked it up each time it fell."
"Later I asked you to buy me a new rope, but you said it was just a copper coin and it was gone. That day, Dad was busy with his funeral and we went to many places. I didn't even know where I lost the copper coin. I thought I hadn't lost it outside. When I came back and asked you, you said you hadn't looked for it at home, so I didn't look for it carefully."
Ni Fang was getting a little anxious. "You silly girl, why don't you look for it? But Weiwei, you're a good girl. You can't just take it for yourself because I told you it's someone else's family heirloom."
Lin Xiaomeng didn't like hearing this. "No, you're the one who says 'good child' and you're the one who says 'bad child.' Is your mouth a judge? It's all up to you to decide what to say."
"If you can speak, then say a few more words. If you can't, then shut your mouth. The things were lost when Weiwei's father died. That's been so long. What are you asking for now? What? You want her to replace them for you?"
"What compensation?" Lin Wei abruptly changed the subject. "I've never saved anyone, what family heirloom? I don't understand what you're talking about."
Seeing that Lin Wei wouldn't admit it, Xiao Yuanbing became anxious.
"No, Weiwei, that copper coin is quite important to our family. If possible, we'd be willing to pay to buy it back, okay?"
“Buy what? I don’t have any here at all. Uncle Xiao, if you’re framing me because of a copper coin, then I really won’t admit it.”
"No, no." Seeing that Lin Wei had misunderstood, Xiao Yuanbing quickly explained, "No, Weiwei, don't get agitated. No matter how much money you have, it's not as important as my nephew's life. I just hope..."
"Damn it, you finally revealed your purpose. All you've been saying is trying to frame me. You might as well just say that I stole the copper coins."
“I told you, the copper coin was lost a long time ago, a long time ago. You didn’t take good care of your family heirloom and it’s my fault for losing it? No, if you have to blame someone, you should blame my mother. If she hadn’t refused to buy me a good rope, the copper coin wouldn’t have been lost.”
“If you keep pressing this issue, I’ll call the police right now and tell them that you… you’re trying to extort money from me.”
Lin Wei feigned sudden realization, "Oh, I know, could it be that the 30,000 yuan compensation my dad received when he died was too much, and now you're feeling sorry for him and doing this on purpose?"
"You're really something. I didn't take a single penny of my dad's compensation. Even if you feel bad about it, you should talk to the woman next to you. Why are you coming to me?"
"In short, they just think I'm a kid who's easy to bully. Call the police, we have to call the police immediately. I won't let this go until we get to the bottom of this today."
Wherever Lin Wei needed to call the police, the two children from the Su family next door heard the news and immediately called the police.
Before Lin Wei could even kick the two people out, the police arrived.
Next—
Naturally, they all went to the police station and gave detailed statements.
But frankly speaking, these kinds of things are nothing more than mediation.
"Those copper coins are long gone. You didn't take good care of your own things, and now you're blaming me. Even if you ask me for them, I can't conjure up any more copper coins."
"And even if you are his uncle, so what? Even if there is a need to hold someone accountable, the person involved should come to me."
