Zhao Xiaoqin sighed and continued, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. If you continue like this, how are Tingting and I supposed to live?"
Liu Yuanzhi reached up and scratched his hair, but didn't say anything.
Zhao Xiaoqin glanced at Liu Yuanzhi and said, "We've only taken a little over half a month off, so let's get to the bottom of Mom's situation as soon as possible, find a lawyer, and see how much compensation Shi Mubai can offer. We should know when to stop."
The person is already dead.
Doing anything now is futile.
If we delay any longer, it will only disrupt their work.
The dead are dead!
Those who survived must find ways to continue living.
"Money, money, money, all you know is money. What else do you know besides money?" Qi Chengze looked at Zhao Xiaoqin.
Zhao Xiaoqin took a deep breath. "I know you'll say I'm materialistic, but in the end, isn't everything in life about money? If it weren't for money, your mother wouldn't have become a nanny! Without money, even basic necessities like food and clothing can't be provided; only money can allow us to continue surviving in this society!"
Zhao Xiaoqin is a very realistic person.
If it weren't for the money, my mother-in-law wouldn't be in this state today!
Liu Yuanzhi's face was full of pain. He rubbed his temples, feeling a terrible headache.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Zhao Xiaoqin put down her bowl and went to open the door.
"They're here, they're here."
The person who arrived was none other than Qi Chengze.
Zhao Xiaoqin didn't recognize Qi Chengze and looked up with some confusion, "Who are you looking for?"
Qi Chengze said, "Hello, are you Mrs. Liu? I am Qi Chengze, and I am also a friend of Shi Mubai. I am here today to discuss the issue of compensation for Aunt Liu with Mr. Liu Yuanzhi."
Upon hearing Shi Mubai's name, Liu Yuanzhi, who had been sitting on the sofa, jumped up, walked over to Qi Chengzhe, grabbed Qi Chengzhe by the collar, and said with bloodshot eyes:
"Where is Shi Mubai? He's the one who killed my mother! Why isn't he here?"
He wanted to make Shi Mubai, the murderer in Zhangjiajie, repent before his mother's portrait.
Qi Chengze did not resist, but sighed, "Mr. Liu, I understand how you feel right now, but the deceased is gone, please accept my condolences."
Please accept my condolences.
Liu Yuanzhi was so angry he laughed.
He's a friend of a murderer, and he still has the nerve to tell himself to accept the loss!
What qualifications does he have?
Zhao Xiaoqin immediately came over and pried her husband's hands off Qi Chengze's collar. "Let go! Yuanzhi, let go of Mr. Qi right now!"
Ultimately, Qi Chengze was just Shi Mubai's friend; he wasn't the one who killed his mother-in-law.
Zhao Xiaoqin did not want her husband to vent his emotions on innocent people.
Moreover, judging from Qi Chengze's attire, he, like Shi Mubai, is probably not an ordinary person.
Liu Yuanzhi reluctantly let go of Qi Chengze's hand.
Zhao Xiaoqin looked at Qi Chengze and forced a smile. "Mr. Qi, please come in and sit down."
After saying that, Zhao Xiaoqin looked at Liu Yuanzhi and whispered, "Be careful what you say."
Liu Yuanzhi remained silent.
Zhao Xiaoqin then busied herself making tea for Qi Chengze.
Soon, Zhao Xiaoqin brought out tea. "Mr. Qi, please sit down. The house is a bit messy, please don't mind."
"Mrs. Liu, you're too kind." Qi Chengze accepted the tea from Zhao Xiaoqin with both hands and sat down on the sofa.
Zhao Xiaoqin continued, "Mr. Qi, my husband does have a rather impatient personality, and he has just lost his mother. Please don't take it to heart."
Qi Chengze nodded. "Mrs. Liu, I can understand how your family feels right now."
Before Zhao Xiaoqin could say anything more, Liu Yuanzhi stood up from the sofa and walked into the room.
Zhao Xiaoqin frowned slightly and turned to look at Qi Chengze. "Mr. Qi, I'm sorry, I'll go in for a moment."
Qi Chengze expressed his understanding.
Zhao Xiaoqin entered the room.
Liu Yuanzhi threw a cushion at her and angrily said, "Zhao Xiaoqin! That's my mother! My own mother! How much money are you planning to exchange my mother's life for?"
“Yuanzhi, calm down. Mom is gone now. No matter what we do, it won’t help!” Zhao Xiaoqin took the pillow that Liu Yuanzhi threw at her with a good temper. “Shi Mubai is not short of money. We might as well take this money.”
Zhao Xiaoqin continued, "Think about it yourself, how much money do we earn in a year when we work ourselves to the bone? When Mom was alive, she worked as a nanny every day, having to watch other people's faces to get paid. Don't feel guilty, this is all Shi Mubai owes us! If we don't take anything, that will really break Mom's heart."
Zhao Xiaoqin was a smart woman; she could tell that Qi Chengze's purpose in coming here was to compensate them.
Since Shi Mubai offered it willingly.
Then why don't they want it?
We can't let my mother-in-law's sacrifice be in vain.
Liu Yuanzhi pursed his lips and remained silent.
Zhao Xiaoqin patted Liu Yuanzhi on the shoulder and straightened his collar. "It's decided then. You go out first and talk to them properly to see how much money Shi Mubai is willing to offer."
"Our mother has lost her life, after all; losing a million won't do."
After saying that, Zhao Xiaoqin pushed Liu Yuanzhi outside.
Liu Yuanzhi entered the living room and looked at Qi Chengze sitting on the sofa, "Why isn't Shi Mubai here!"
Even if it's about discussing compensation, it should be Shi Mubai who does it.
What's the point of sending Qi Chengze?
Qi Chengze stood up from the sofa. "Mu Bai has already died by suicide by cutting his wrists. The day after tomorrow will be the seventh day after his death."
What?
Liu Yuanzhi was stunned when he heard Qi Chengze's words.
He has passed away!
How is that possible?
"You're lying to me!" Liu Yuanzhi looked at Qi Chengzhe. "Don't think that you can escape your responsibility like this."
"I'm not lying to you." Qi Chengze had anticipated that Liu Yuanzhi wouldn't believe him, so he directly took out Shi Mubai's death certificate. "Take a look at this."
It wasn't until Liu Yuanzhi saw Shi Mubai's death certificate that he dared to believe it was real.
He died.
Shi Mubai is actually dead!
That's strange.
Liu Yuanzhi hated Shi Mubai the most; if it weren't for him, his mother wouldn't have died in vain.
But when he actually saw Shi Mubai's death certificate, he was not happy.
Qi Chengze then took out another check. "And this one. The amount on the check is one-third of Mu Bai's entire estate when he was alive. He instructed me to transfer this third of his estate to you to make up for his mistakes."
Liu Yuanzhi glanced at the check; it was such a long string of numbers that he had never seen so much money in his entire life.
This is much more than the one million Zhao Xiaoqin mentioned!
If he accepts this check, they'll never have to work again for the rest of their lives.
But Liu Yuanzhi did not accept the check. "Now that Shi Mubai is dead, my past grievances with him are settled. You can leave!"
All he wanted was to get justice for his mother.
Qi Chengze glanced in the direction of the bedroom. "Don't you need to discuss this with your wife?"
"No need! I can make that decision myself."
Qi Chengze placed the check on the table. "These are Mu Bai's last words before he died. No matter what, you must accept the check."
Liu Yuanzhi picked up the check on the table and tore it to shreds, somewhat angrily: "I told you, I won't take the check."
Qi Chengze sighed and had no choice but to turn and leave.
"Wait! Mr. Qi, you can't leave!" Zhao Xiaoqin's voice suddenly rang out in the air.
