It wasn't until 9:30 p.m. that the Song family finally quieted down.
The third and fifth brothers returned to the Xu family with Xu Songyuan. The two brothers exchanged a glance and knew what the other was thinking.
Song Jianmin mouthed: I'm going tomorrow.
Song Anmin nodded: Let's go together!
Song Anmin will rest at home tomorrow. Lao Wu has no classes in the morning, but will have classes in the afternoon.
Back in the house, the two lay on their respective beds, neither of them able to come to their senses for a long time.
That's outrageous.
Did Tan Ronghua kill his own brother while having an affair with his sister-in-law?
The score is played on the plain.
Song Anmin stared at the ceiling: "Fifth brother, I can't sleep."
Song Jianmin: "I can't sleep either."
Song Anmin narrowed his eyes and said, "You know, the Tan family only has Tan Ya left now, their future is going to be tough."
Song Jianmin curled his lip, "Don't pity her, she might have known about the poisoning before."
Tan Ya's life is indeed not easy. After returning home today, Tan Ya was beaten by her grandparents.
The elderly couple blamed Yin Cui for the deaths of their two sons. Tan Ya looked just like Yin Cui, so Tan Ya had nowhere to hide. In the end, Tan Ya's grandmother hugged her and cried bitterly, lamenting the injustice.
The next morning, Grandpa Song took Song Xinfu and the third and fifth sons to the Tan family.
Qian Yu'an had to go to school, so Grandma Song and Xu Guiying stayed at home to take care of the child.
Song Zhicheng and his two sons met up with them near the Tan family's home.
The news about the Tan family had already spread, and they were able to find out which floor the Tan family lived on just by randomly grabbing a passerby.
Tan Ya was also at home today. When she heard the knocking, she opened the door and turned pale when she saw several members of the Song family standing outside. In addition to the elderly couple, the Tan family also included Yin Cui's family members.
"Why are you here?"
What are you doing here?
Grandpa Song stood at the front, staring at the people inside. "Tan Ronghua and Yin Cui injured two people in my family. This is not over yet!"
Grandma Tan's face turned pale, and she looked at her husband.
The two reacted quickly and tried to pretend to faint.
Grandpa Song shouted directly, "You must pay for the medical expenses, the compensation for emotional distress, and the subsequent recovery and nutrition expenses! Also, you should pay for the losses that Tan Rongguo and his family caused to our store! It was your family that made a mistake. If you can't resolve this, we will call the police and let them handle it!"
The two of them were no longer dizzy and looked at Tan Ya.
"It's your mother's fault! You should pay for it!"
"Why should I pay? Tan Ronghua was involved too, so you should pay as well!"
"Tan Ya, what kind of attitude is this?!"
The Tan family was in chaos when Song Anmin, in a booming voice, stopped them, shouting, "What's all the fuss about! No matter how you distribute it internally, we want to see the money today!"
The Tan family members' expressions changed drastically.
Grandpa Song said coldly, "Don't tell me you have no money. Your Tan family owns two houses. Even if you sell them, you'll still have to pay back the money!"
Yin Cui's family members pretended to be dead inside the house.
Tan Ya didn't let any of them off the hook. "Grandma, Uncle, what should we do?"
"This is trouble caused by your Tan family. What does it have to do with us? Tan Ya, your surname is Tan. You should ask your grandparents to pay up."
"That's right, Ya Ya, this has nothing to do with us..."
Grandpa Song was too lazy to listen to them and simply told his fifth son to call the police.
Wang Ya and another police officer from the station were on duty, and they discussed compensation in the Tan family's living room.
With the police present, Tan Ya and her grandparents could no longer evade responsibility. The older ones pretended to faint, since there were still the younger ones. Song Anmin and Song Jianmin stood at the entrance of the Tan family's house, blocking the way and preventing Yin Cui's family from leaving.
They talked from nine in the morning until 1:30 in the afternoon.
The Tan family was to pay a total of 5,800 yuan in compensation, which included medical expenses for Xu Songyuan and Xu Guiying, compensation for mental distress, and the cost of subsequent examinations and treatments. The bulk of the compensation was 4,500 yuan, which was the loss caused to Phoenix Pavilion by Tan Rongguo's poisoning case.
Phoenix Pavilion's losses are far more than this, but things have come to this point, and if calculated based on market profits, the Tan family simply cannot afford to pay.
Yin Cui's family contributed part of the money, Tan Ya contributed part of the money herself, and Tan Ya's grandparents also had to give money. In the end, they were short 2,000 yuan. Tan Ya had no choice but to write an IOU in her own name. Whether she sold the haunted house downstairs or found a way to borrow money herself, she had to pay off the 2,000 yuan within a month.
That was about it. The fifth brother rushed back to school for class, Grandpa Song took the Song family back to Heping Lane, and Song Zhicheng went back to the grocery store.
Chen Zhou only had one class in the afternoon, and after class she waited for him in the classroom next to where Song Jianmin was teaching.
The two of them finally left get out of class and went home together at 5:30.
When Chen Zhou heard Song Jianmin talk about Tan Ronghua and Yin Cui, her reaction was even stronger than the third and fifth sisters' the night before. She was incredibly shocked. She looked at Song Jianmin seriously and said, "Song Jianmin, Tan Ronghua isn't married yet. If we get married in the future, and you... if you mess around, I will definitely divorce you!!!"
Song Jianmin flicked Chen Zhou on the forehead, "Chen Xiaozhou! How dare you talk like that? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Don't slander my character!"
Chen Zhou scoffed, "Let me tell you, I believe you now. But people change. Nobody says you have to love someone forever. If you ever fall for someone else, you have to tell me. Otherwise, if I find out, we'll both die!!!"
Song Jianmin became increasingly suspicious as he listened. "Chen Zhou, so you're thinking of falling for someone else?"
"Song Jianmin, you're talking nonsense! Don't spout gibberish!"
"Chen Zhou, there's something wrong with your thinking. Neither of us would fall in love with someone else."
Chen Zhou snorted, "Whoever cheats will leave with nothing!"
Song Jianmin put his arm around Chen Zhou's shoulder and said, "Trust me, you have to have faith in us."
The two argued and bickered all the way to Phoenix Pavilion.
Chen Zhou has to work tonight, and Song Jianmin is helping out at the shop. His father came to the shop again tonight, glanced at the two of them peeling potatoes in the back kitchen, and shook his head and smiled.
Several tables were empty tonight, so around 8 p.m., Song Xinfu rode his bike home.
As usual, Song Jianmin and Chen Zhou waited until nine o'clock before going back.
Even though it's not spring yet, the Song family has a habit of soaking their feet in hot water before going to bed at night.
Song Xinfu brought two buckets of hot water into the room and sat down next to Xu Guiying on the bed, talking about Lao Wu and Chen Zhou.
Song Xinfu said, "If the two of them really get married, they should at least show some appreciation."
When Song Guomin and Liu Aimei got married, they gave a bride price.
Now that the eldest son has been separated, it's the third and fifth sons' turn to be given something.
Xu Guiying nodded, "We'll give it to Chen Zhou then."
Song Xinfu then brought up the matter of talking about his family that morning.
“If Tan Ya sells that house, its value will definitely drop.”
That house is haunted, and Tan Rongguo died such a tragic death; it definitely won't sell unless the price is lowered.
Xu Guiying narrowed her eyes, about to speak, when she caught sight of Song Xinfu preparing to smoke.
Xu Guiying threw him onto the opposite table, yelling, "Smoke, smoke, no smoking!"
