"Auntie, what are you talking about medical compensation? Are you saying my mom has contacted you? And you gave her a thousand yuan?"
"Yes, your mother came to the school and asked for justice for you. As a parent, I can understand this, but your aunt's family is not well off, and she had to borrow the thousand yuan from Ningning's aunt." Shumei explained to Zhou Yu with self-blame.
When Zhou Yu heard this, he almost spit out the orange in his mouth.
The stingy woman was absolutely right. She really never misses any opportunity! I just said I had a minor injury, and the doctor said it was nothing serious, but she insisted on having me hospitalized. So that's what she was thinking!
How could I have such a snobbish mother? She's really obsessed with money. No, I can't let her exploit Ningning's family. They're not rich to begin with.
"My injury doesn't cost much, and my family doesn't need the money. You and Ningning don't have to worry about the medical compensation. You don't have to pay for it. I'll ask my mother to return the money to you later." Zhou Yu said vaguely to Shumei while eating an orange.
"No, it will make Auntie feel even worse if you do this. This is what I should do."
Shumei is not shy and can chat with a child very well.
"No, we can't retreat. This is only natural and reasonable." Shumei said firmly.
"What do you mean by natural? She's just knocking..." Zhou Yu really wanted to make his mother's purpose public, but when he thought about it, if Ningning's mother knew that his mother was such a person, he would definitely be affected as well.
She's blackmailing...
Zhou Yu muttered to himself in his heart what he had not finished saying.
He didn't want Ningning's mother to look at him strangely, like a monster, and he didn't want to ruin his image in Ningning's mother's eyes.
No matter what Zhang Shuangning did, in his eyes, she would always be his goddess. The goddess's mother was the old goddess, a god, who had to be treated with care.
He actually developed such feelings for a female classmate. It seemed a bit too mature for his age. However, everyone loves beauty. After all, Zhang Shuangning was born with a beautiful face that everyone loves!
"Auntie, Ningning and I are not only classmates, but also good friends. Besides, this is really just a minor injury. You see, I can walk and run. I'm really fine. It's my mom who made a fuss and had me hospitalized." Zhou Yu said, quickly jumping off the bed and spinning on the ground to prove that he was really fine.
"Classmate Zhou Yu, you... stop jumping and spinning. Be careful of your injuries." Shumei was so anxious when she saw him like this!
"Auntie, I just want you to know that I'm really fine. And I accidentally got hurt while playing with Ningning, so it's really not Ningning's fault. If I have to ask you for money for something like this, how can I be friends with Ningning in the future? However, it's still possible to let Ningning come and help me with tutoring." Zhou Yu grabbed Shumei's hand and said from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, he really looks like a very, very sensible child.
In Shumei's eyes, he was just like little Youchen, so lovable and so sensible. She had never expected that someone with such a bad temper could have such a good-tempered son. She nodded slightly, expressing her approval of Zhou Yu.
This scene was witnessed by Zhou Yu's mother who came in carrying a lot of bags.
Shumei's existence really surprised her.
She threw her things onto the bed next to her unhappily and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
"Mother Zhou Yu! I'm here to buy some fruit and visit Zhou Yu."
Zhou Yu's mother ignored her and yelled at Zhou Yu, "Why don't you get back to bed? Why are you jumping around barefoot on the floor? Are you planning on catching a cold or fever tomorrow?"
Zhou Yu's mother still had a lot of authority in front of Zhou Yu. After she said this, Zhou Yu obediently crawled into his bed without saying a word.
"It's just right that you're here, so I don't have to call you again tonight. Here, this is the hospitalization fee, mental damage compensation, loss of work wages, and nutrition fee that I just calculated while I was busy. The total is 1,780 yuan. After deducting the 1,000 yuan you gave me, you still have to pay me 780 yuan." Zhou Yu's mother took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Shumei, counting on her fingers.
"What? One thousand seven hundred and eighty yuan? Are you seeking justice for me? Or are you selling your son?" Zhou Yu couldn't believe his ears. He just sprained his foot, but his mother actually asked for such a huge amount of money from Zhang Shuangning's mother.
