Qin Li looked at his back and breathed a sigh of relief.

Watching Su Haibin walk away, Zhang Laizi rubbed his chest and said to Qin Li and Wang Meilan:

"I've been hit by you again. I'm afraid all my bones have been broken. I can't take it anymore. You have to accompany me to the hospital for a checkup. I need to be hospitalized for treatment."

Wang Meilan knew that he was trying to cheat, and gave him a disgusted look, "Five hundred at most. If you agree, I'll give it to you now. If you don't agree, you won't get a cent."

"No, not even a cent less. My bones were broken and I need to be hospitalized. It will take at least a hundred days to heal the broken bones. I was being kind by not asking you to add another five hundred cents. If you want to bargain again, I will also increase the medical expenses."

When Wang Meilan heard this, she immediately started to curse Su Haibin again, even though she knew that even if Su Haibin didn't do anything, this idiot was already prepared to extort a large sum of money from them.

"One dollar is too much. We can't afford it. How about we both give in and give you 800 yuan?"

Qin Li only wanted to resolve the matter as quickly as possible, so she did not dare to bargain too much, thinking that 800 yuan should be acceptable to Zhang Laizi.

As she spoke, she kept observing He Laizi's facial expression. Seeing that he looked unhappy, Qin Li quickly added:

If you are willing, we can write an agreement right away, sign your name, and we'll be even. If you are not willing, that's up to you. You won't get a penny from me in the future. I'm not afraid of you causing trouble, but you have ruined my reputation. I don't think you will be much better off than me. You should learn more about the crime of hooliganism."

Zhang Laizi thought about it. He certainly understood what it meant to quit while he was ahead. If he insisted, he was afraid that Qin Li would turn around and leave, and it would be embarrassing if he went after her to negotiate.

800 yuan is not a small amount. In their village, even the village chief's family may not be able to come up with 800 yuan.

When he returns to the village with the 800 yuan, he will be the richest man in the village.

His parents had always hoped that he could get married as soon as possible so that they could have children to carry on the Zhang family line.

In the past, people thought he was ugly and refused to marry him. If he took out 500 yuan and asked the matchmaker to help him find a wife, he thought it should not be a difficult task.

Ever since he had cheated on Qin Li, he had become wealthy. The widow was extremely kind to him, trying her best to serve him every day and even proposed to marry him.

When he had no money before, he had thought about marrying his grandson's widow, but when he thought about having to help her raise her sons, those would be two boys who would grow up in a few years and he would have to help them find wives by then. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not worth it.

If you can get so much money all at once, forget about being a widow, it would be more cost-effective to find a virgin girl. It would be great to use the money to raise your own children.

Thinking of this, Zhang Laizi no longer insisted and decided that eight hundred was fine.

However, in order to prevent Qin Li from feeling that they were at a loss, he deliberately pretended to be reluctant and nodded to Qin Li.

"Okay then, but you have to pay it all at once and agree not to have any contact with me in the future. I have to abide by that."

Qin Li nodded when she heard this, then turned to look at Wang Meilan.

"Lili...you..."

When Wang Meilan heard Qin Li say that she would give Zhang Laizi eight hundred yuan, this number still exceeded her expectations. Although it was two hundred less than one, she still felt reluctant to give it.

"Mom, please come here." Qin Li pulled the corner of Wang Meilan's clothes and walked forward.

After the mother and daughter walked some distance away and made sure that Zhang Laizi couldn't hear them, Qin Li finally spoke.

"Mom, 800 yuan less is good enough. I'm afraid he won't want to pay even a penny less. Since he agrees, let's give him the money quickly, so he won't regret it later."

After Qin Li finished speaking, she saw Wang Meilan standing there for a long time without saying a word, with an embarrassed look on her face. She knew that her mother was stingy with the money.

She had to pretend to be sympathetic, "Mom, you don't know, this matter is like a bomb that can explode at any time for me. I live cautiously every day because of this matter, fearing that one day I will be exposed and Wang Wenbin will know. The only way is to get rid of him. Don't say it costs 800, even if it costs a little more, I will accept it."

"Yes... Lili, that's 800 yuan. Based on my salary, it will take me at least 8 months to save up the money. 8 months is 240 days. I have worked for almost half a year for nothing."

Wang Meilan's mouth was bleeding. She tried to say to Qin Li, "Why don't we talk to him again and see if 600 is okay? Yes, 600. If he agrees, I'll give it to him right away."

Without asking, Qin Li knew that Zhang Laizi would definitely not agree, so she had to persuade him to talk about Wang Meilan again.

"Mom, I'm pregnant now. As long as this problem is not resolved, I will always be worried. It will definitely not be good for the baby in my belly. Don't you want to have a lively and smart grandson? I am under such great pressure every day. Do you think I can give birth to a lively and smart child?

Mom, let’s not do this. Consider this money as a loan from me. I will pay you back slowly in the future. What do you think?”

After hearing Qin Li talking about the baby in her belly, Wang Meilan finally couldn't hold it back any longer.

She works so hard all her life, busy all day long, isn't it all for the future generations?

Of course she hoped that Qin Li could give her a smart and clever grandson.

So Wang Meilan finally surrendered.

She took out the prepared paper and pen from her bag and drafted an agreement on the spot. Zhang Laizi signed his name in person, and then Wang Meilan and Qin Li pooled together 800 yuan and gave it to Zhang Laizi.

"From now on, we are even. I hope you are a trustworthy person." Qin Li said this with some reluctance as she handed the money to Zhang Laizi.

"Let me go. From now on, I don't know you and you don't know me. We are just strangers who don't know each other."

Zhang Laizi snatched the thick stack of money from Qin Li's hand and quickly stuffed it into his own pocket.

After that, he pretended to be cool and said "Goodbye" to Qin Li and Wang Meilan, then turned and left.

"Goodbye, never let us see you again in this life."

Wang Meilan shouted at Zhang Laizi's back, but still not satisfied, she cursed him in a low voice, "You bastard! I'd better trip you when you walk, choke you when you eat, or drown you when you take a bath..."
