Li Wenhua breathed a sigh of relief, at least the matter was over. Although he was somewhat resistant to Tian Guihua's lecture, he knew that she was right. If this matter were brought up, his own child would still be in the wrong.
"Thank you for the reminder, Auntie. I'll definitely teach them a lesson later." Then she tugged at Li Shuixin and said, "Come with me to Auntie's house later and apologize to Xiangyun properly."
Once someone started, the other families followed suit. Zhou Jinfeng also wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible, so he pulled his daughter along and was about to step forward.
Tian Guihua then said, "You two families haven't settled things yet. If you don't make things clear, then I'll have to consider you both as the culprits."
I'll go to the neighborhood committee and your school to discuss this matter.
The Zhou and He families froze. If things escalated, it would definitely be noted in the children's files, which would have a huge impact on whether they were sent to the countryside or to work in a factory.
Bai Ailian's eyes flickered, and her eyes immediately reddened. "Auntie, we've been neighbors for many years, and you've watched the children grow up. How could they possibly have such a cruel heart to take someone's life?"
These bumps and bruises weren't what they wanted. Besides, so many families have offered compensation. Even if Xiangyun suffered a great injury, all these things can make up for it.
I don't know why Ping An blamed everything on Xiao Lan, but things have come to this point, so we accept it. Look, besides giving everyone the things we need, we'll also compensate them with five yuan. Is that okay?
Please don't go to the school or the neighborhood committee to say this, otherwise this child's life will be ruined.
Xie Shengnan came to her senses at this point. Rather than dwelling on Zhou Xiaolan now, it would be better to settle this matter first.
She was thinking that when her child graduated next year, she would try to find him a temporary job. If she left a bad mark, she wouldn't be able to get a good job even if he went to the countryside.
She quickly grabbed He Ping'an and walked to Tian Guihua, slapping He Ping'an hard on the back. "My son was wronged, but he was the one who hurt someone. We'll accept it. I'll catch an old hen and give Xiangyun ten yuan to help her recover."
Xiao Yulan, who had come along to handle the matter, also chimed in, "Auntie, everyone knows Xiangyun has been wronged. How about we just leave it at that for now..."
Others chimed in to help, since the place was so big and everyone had some kind of connection to each other.
When Tian Guihua thought of her granddaughter when she was first brought back, her head covered in blood, her face pale, and her lifeless body, she couldn't stop crying. "My poor little darling, she almost lost her life, and all she got was a perfunctory apology."
So they actually think our family got the better deal and benefited from it?
I'd rather forgo these benefits than let my child be sick.
"I'm begging you, old woman. If you can help my granddaughter recover completely and save her from this suffering, I'll give you all these things in return..."
Well, these companies are truly wicked to the core. They compensate you with some items and still think they've gotten a good deal.
Initially, everyone was envious and jealous of the compensation offered by each family, but now they realized that the suffering Hua Xiangyun had endured was truly real.
He was carried back covered in blood that day, and everyone thought he wouldn't make it. They heard that he had been lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) for many days and couldn't get up. If this had happened to them, they wouldn't have let it go so easily either.
When Tian Guihua started crying like that, everyone looked at the Zhou family with hostility, clearly indicating that these families had no intention of sincerely repenting.
Bai Ailian, "..."
“When my little one was taken to the clinic, the doctor there said he was almost dead. If it weren’t for a kind fellow villager passing by, it would have been too late if we had waited any longer.” Tian Guihua cried, “That child was someone you all grew up with. How could you be so cruel?”
Even if you don't want to do it yourself, can't you at least ask someone for help? You call yourselves children, but how can your hearts be so hard? Seeing my little darling lying there bleeding..."
As she spoke, Tian Guihua's voice gradually weakened, and she clutched her chest, her face turning pale.
Xiao Yulan, who had been standing beside her, quickly helped her up. "Aunt Hua, don't get agitated. We can talk things over. Besides, they've realized their mistakes..."
"They don't seem to realize their mistakes at all; they're just trying to shut us up because they have something to offer. With their arrogant attitude, it's no wonder those kids don't value human life... From now on, any kid going out with them should be careful..."
Bai Ailian was about to speak when Zhou Jinfeng, who was beside her, grabbed her arm and said, "Don't say anything more."
At this time, leaders from several nearby factories came over after hearing the news.
If you ask someone else, you'll know the whole story, and it's not good not to stand up and express your opinion.
After some negotiation, the previously proposed compensation will still be paid, but these companies will not be eligible for any awards or promotions in the factory for the next few years.
Seeing that several leaders had intervened, Tian Guihua decided to stop while she was ahead. It was impossible for her little darling to get these people punished, so this was the best possible outcome.

After three days of effort, Hua Xiangyun finally managed to retain some Qi in her body, and her complexion improved somewhat. Only then could she sit in the courtyard and bask in the sun.
"Little sister," Hua Zhiping said, walking in with his wife Li Lijuan, carrying a burlap sack. "Why did you come out? Does your head still hurt?"
Hua Zhiping took over Hua Guangzong's job at the Grain Bureau two years ago, and today is his day off.
His wife, Li Lijuan, worked as a sales clerk at the grain and oil supply station. All the family's supply books were handed over to her, and she collected them all on their behalf, unlike other families who had to queue up early in the morning.
Sometimes when there are too many things, Hua Zhiping will help carry them back, just like today.
Hua Xiangyun smiled at them and said, "I've been lying in bed for several days. If I stay in bed any longer, my bones will stiffen. Brother, did you bring me anything good to eat?"
The original owner would ask this question every time this happened, and in order to maintain her character, she would blurt it out naturally.
"You little glutton, so you were waiting for your brother here," Hua Zhiping said, walking over with the bag and squatting down beside her. "How could your brother forget you?"
As he spoke, he quickly opened the bag and took out a paper package. "These are Golden Rooster biscuits that your sister-in-law asked someone to get from the supply and marketing cooperative. Try them. If you like them, ask your sister-in-law to find someone to help you next time."
Li Lijuan stood to the side with a smile, "Your brother is right. If you like it, your sister-in-law will ask someone to exchange it next time."
Hua Xiangyun took the paper bag and smiled sweetly at them, "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law. You must be out of cookie coupons, right? I have a few left, I'll give them to you in a bit."
Spoiled by her family, Hua Xiangyun naturally accumulated a lot of vouchers.
