Chapter 13 Compensation for Emotional Distress



Seeing this, Old Lady Qian was so angry that her lips trembled.

"Everyone says you're honest and good-tempered, but you don't like to talk much. But today I see you're such a quick-witted girl. It seems everyone has misjudged you before."

"Grandma Qian, why drag others into this? This has nothing to do with anyone else. My sharp tongue is better than your guilty conscience."

Grandma Qian didn't understand the meaning of the last four words, but they didn't sound like nice things. But wasn't this burden from the Yu family uneducated? How come he speaks so eloquently?

...

Taking advantage of the argument between Shen Qianqian and Old Lady Qian, Yu Linyun rushed straight to Old Yu's field.

A few years ago, when the household contract responsibility system was implemented, the Yu family also had several acres of land. Now that it's almost planting time, they've been busy in the fields these days.

"Grandma! Something's happened!"

Yu Linyun braced himself on his knees, panting heavily.

"What's up?"

Grandma Fang looked up at her granddaughter, her expression showing some displeasure.

With the work in the fields so busy, the second daughter-in-law suddenly stopped letting the two children work in the fields, insisting that they stay home to study. She said that if they wanted to work, she would call her eldest grandson, who was studying in the county, back to work together.

Problem!

Her eldest grandson is going to university; he was a top scholar in the past. Would a top scholar work in the fields?

"Grandma, Grandma Tiger is causing trouble at our house!"

Grandma Fang glared: "What? What's she doing here?!"

Yu Linyun swallowed hard and repeated everything Shen Qianqian had instructed her to say. After listening, Old Madam Fang put down her work and stormed over.

"Qian Cuichen's grandson bullied my grandson, and he still has the nerve to come to our door and cause trouble? He's gone too far! How's your brother? Where is he hurt? No way, Qian Cuichen has to pay us back!"

Yu Linyun immediately replied, "Xiaoyang said his head hurts. Dahu and the others often beat him, so his head is always hurting. He even fainted just now and is lying in bed now... Dahu's grandma came to see cousin Qianqian, and she asked me to come and see you. She said that you and grandpa are the heads of the family. She also said that this matter could be a big deal or a small deal. If it's small, my brother will be traumatized for life. If it's big, you'll lose face in the future, and when others see you, they'll only say how powerful Dahu's grandma is, more powerful than you..."

In order to get the two eggs, Yu Linyun took the task very seriously and explained Shen Qianqian's instructions clearly and thoroughly.

Grandma Fang was pleased that Shen Qianqian had come to terms with reality and knew who was the master of the house, but she was angered by her granddaughter's next words.

"She, Qian Cuichen, is nothing!"

"What do you mean she's the most powerful? She's the most powerful when she's doing something wrong!"

"We're going back! If she dares to bully my grandson, I'll make her pay back all the medical bills!"

Yu Linyun nodded silently. Money was important; they needed money.

The Yu family members in the field saw Old Lady Fang stomping her feet on the ground, then putting down her things, seemingly intending to leave with Yu Linyun.

Wan Yindi also went up to ask what had happened.

Grandma Fang said, "Don't worry about anything, just do your work." Then she ran off.

Yu Linyun muttered a few words to her mother from behind.

Upon hearing that his son was in trouble, Wan Yindi also ran away, even ahead of Old Lady Fang. Old Lady Fang: "..."

On Old Yu's side, Old Lady Qian was losing ground time and again.

The people who had originally encouraged us to come along stopped responding.

Old Mrs. Qian was furious; these people had no guts and were easily intimidated by this little girl.

live.

She wanted to drag the little girl out and beat her up, but unfortunately, the girl had an axe.

Things aren't as good as they were a few years ago, otherwise she would have given that girl a good beating long ago.

Grandma Qian: "No matter what conflicts you had before, it is a fact that you hit my Da Hu and the other children. They all have injuries, and you can't lie about it. I'm easy to talk to. As long as your Yu family gives us five yuan for medical expenses, this matter will be over."

When the other parents heard this, they thought it made sense. Although they didn't want their children to have any conflict with Da Hu,

Ge, but it's a fact that Shen Qianqian hit their child, so they should pay compensation! (Shen Qianqian smiled.)

"Okay, I can pay you back."

Grandma Qian was suspicious; could the other party really be so easy to talk to?

“I can compensate you, but you also need to compensate me and my cousin Yu Linyang for medical expenses and emotional distress. It’s not much, just twenty yuan per person.”

The onlookers gasped in amazement.

Twenty yuan per person! Shen Qianqian is really daring to ask for that much!

Old Mrs. Qian burst into a tirade: "Twenty yuan? Why don't you just rob me? And you want compensation for emotional distress? I think you're just telling a crooked story!"

Not only was Old Master Qian furious, but the other elders also glared angrily at Shen Qianqian.

Shen Qianqian was tall and stood on the threshold, taking in everyone's expressions.

She remained calm and composed, her voice firm and strong.

"Your child has been bullying my cousin for a long time, following Da Hu's lead. They took him to secluded places, beat and verbally abused him, and even extorted money from him. Do you, as elders, really condone this kind of behavior from a scoundrel? This is a new society! The country is developing, and we are progressing, yet some bad apples want to sabotage it. I don't believe that such a scoundrel could come from our Wuxing Production Brigade, a place with such simple and honest people!"

Shen Qianqian took a deep breath and looked at the boys with sharp eyes, which made them lower their heads in guilt.

"Dear uncles, aunts, and grandmas, I was just passing by today and they threw stones at me, spread rumors about my personal relationship issues, and even targeted me like those scoundrels. This is bullying and oppressing! This is hooliganism! If I really pursue this, he will be executed! At the very least, he will be arrested by the police like Su Qiang and have a criminal record for life!"

Shoot! Execute him!

Upon hearing Su Qiang's name, everyone snapped out of their daze, as the scene of him being taken away by the police a few days ago was still fresh in their minds.

"Tell me, didn't you speak rudely to Sister Qianqian?"

A short-tempered elder slapped the child on the spot, and the child burst into tears.

Come.

"It wasn't me, it was Da Hu who said that. I... I only threw a stone once and it made a 'bang bang bang' sound. I'll never dare to do it again."

Shen Qianqian watched them discipline the child, and only stopped them when they had finished.

“Teaching children is still the same as teaching them back home. Children also have pride. Staying here will only make them resentful.”

The children looked grateful when they heard what she said.

They're so mean! They actually sided with Da Hu to bully Shen Qianqian. She's such a good person, and she even spoke up for them.

Grandma Qian was completely numb; her premonition had come true—this Shen Qianqian was no easy opponent!

No, no, she has to leave. Pay compensation? What a load of rubbish!

Shen Qianqian changed the subject: "Since you are sincerely repentant, I personally can waive the medical expenses and compensation for emotional distress, but my cousin definitely needs it. He has been bullied for a long time, and the mental stress is immense. He fainted when he got home and is still in bed. Each of you can contribute three yuan plus five eggs. Grandma Qian's family will pay five yuan and ten eggs, after all, it was your Da Hu who led this, he is the main culprit. Grandma Qian, don't you think so?"

Grandma Qian, who was planning to sneak away, suddenly felt like she had a thorn in her side!
