On the other hand, Liu Aimei still hadn't given up, and her desire to regain her position grew stronger.
A while ago, she spent twenty yuan to bribe the cleaning staff in Tongtong's community, asking them to do everything they could to find out about Tongtong's affairs.
I thought it would take one or two months.
Unexpectedly, within just a few days, the cleaning lady told Liu Aimei that she had gotten along well with Tong Tong's nanny and knew that Tong Tong was going to her sister's house this Friday. Her sister was a kindergarten teacher in Chuanfu Town on the outskirts of the city. Neither of the sisters were from the capital. The older sister had married and moved to Chuanfu Town and found a job as a kindergarten teacher with her high school diploma.
Liu Aimei sneered, "Fine."
Since Tong Tong insists on blocking her way, she shouldn't blame her for being impolite.
As instructed by the nanny, Liu Aimei rode her bicycle to Chuanfu Town early in the morning. She quickly found out the location of the kindergarten. Today was a weekday, so Tong Tong would definitely be at work. Liu Aimei only needed to wait outside the kindergarten gate and ask the parents who Teacher Tong was.
However, around 4 PM, the first person Liu Aimei saw wasn't Sister Tong Tong, but Xiong Jing!
Xiong Jing emerged from the two-story building of the kindergarten, carrying a bucket in her hand and dressed in white, clearly a chef's outfit.
Liu Aimei was immediately stunned and stood there.
It all came so easily; I never expected to find Xiong Jing by such a twist of fate!
Liu Aimei didn't have time to wait for Tong Tong; instead, she kept staring at Xiong Jing.
It had been almost a year since she last saw Xiong Jing, and she looked about ten years older. Her hair was dry, and her face was sallow and thin. She looked like she was in her thirties. She quickly cleaned the bucket, went back to the cafeteria to change into her regular clothes, and then left the kindergarten without noticing Liu Aimei in the crowd.
Liu Aimei followed Xiong Jing all the way to the town's health center.
Liu Aimei narrowed her eyes slightly. Could it be that Xiong Jing's mother was hospitalized?
Xiong Jing walked quickly ahead. After entering the third floor of the inpatient building, a man was getting water outside the ward. When he saw Xiong Jing, a smile appeared on the man's face.
"You've arrived so quickly."
Xiong Jing: "I came over as soon as I got off work. How is my mom?"
"Your eyes aren't better yet; you'll need to stay in the hospital for a few more days."
Xiong Jing couldn't help but complain, "I told her a long time ago that she didn't need to go to the city to find a job, she could just find one in town, but she insisted on going to the city. Now look what happened, she got her eye smashed! And now she has to waste time having surgery!"
“What’s done is done, and there’s no point in saying anything now. The Chen family will be here soon, and we’ll stick to our guns and pay 800 yuan in compensation. We absolutely cannot back down.”
Xiong Jing hummed in agreement.
Liu Aimei was standing at the corner of the corridor and heard their conversation clearly.
Was He Shulan's eye injured?
Liu Aimei never expected to have such a great experience in Chuanfu Town; hiring a cleaning service was definitely worthwhile.
It's already 5:30, and Liu Aimei is debating whether she should go back to the city first...
Just then, footsteps came from the stairs below.
Liu Aimei pretended to be a patient's family member, turning her back to look out over the railing.
"Anyway, this matter absolutely has to be resolved today. I'll give you a maximum of five hundred yuan; I can't give you more than that."
"Stop talking, let's go."
The two spoke in hushed tones.
Only after the two had walked away did Liu Aimei look over, and then she returned to the corner of the corridor...
From 5:30 to 6:00, Xiong Jing and the other person, along with the couple, became increasingly louder in their conversation, and the nurse had to stop them several times.
Liu Aimei heard the gist of it: the middle-aged couple's son skipped school and went with his best friend to steal money from another female classmate's family. The two broke a window, and the glass happened to pierce He Shulan's eye, who was passing by. Now she has to have eye surgery, and the middle-aged couple has to pay her compensation.
If they don't pay 800 yuan, Xiong Jing and the others will call the police.
When the glass shattered, Old Lady Xiong's eyes were full of blood. She hugged the legs of the middle-aged couple's son with all her might and heard another man call him Chen Jiamu.
Old Mrs. Xiong remembered the names, and also the school uniforms the two were wearing.
Chen Jiamu and his companion were startled and ran away, leaving Xiong Laoniang behind. Later, a kind passerby took Xiong Laoniang to a clinic, where the glass shards were removed and she received simple bandaging. Xiong Laoniang then returned to Chuanfu Town, where she had no money and could only seek medical treatment.
Following the name and school provided by Xiong's mother, Xiong Jing found Chen Jiamu...
In short, if they can't reach an agreement on 800 yuan, Xiong Jing should go to the parents of the female classmate whose glass was broken, and both sides should call the police together. That way, Chen Jiamu will definitely be sentenced!
As for Chen Jiamu's good friend, he was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. Even if he wanted to pay compensation, he couldn't find his parents. So Xiong Jing could only keep an eye on Chen Jiamu's parents.
In short, we couldn't reach an agreement in the end.
If Xiong Jing bites her to death, she'll demand 800 yuan; otherwise, she'll call the police tomorrow.
Finally, Chen Qing said with a dark face, "Eight hundred it is. We still need time to raise the money."
Xiong Jing: "You only have one week. If I don't see the money by this time next Friday, your son can expect to go to jail!"
Mi Xiuhua's face contorted with rage. "You'd better keep this to yourself!"
The man next to Xiong Jing spoke up, "As for cooperation, as long as you are sincere enough, we certainly won't go back on our word."
Mr. and Mrs. Chen left in a huff.
About ten minutes later, Xiong Jing and the other person also prepared to leave.
Liu Aimei followed the two at a distance, watching them enter a small alley in the town and go into the middle of the bungalow.
Liu Aimei narrowed her eyes slightly. "Xiong Jing got married again?"
It was almost seven o'clock, and Liu Aimei dared not delay any longer. She hurriedly went back to the kindergarten, retrieved her bicycle, and headed back to the city.
