When the Chen family saw him still smiling, they became even angrier.
Wei Zhen then resorted to tantrums and insults.
When Wu An arrived at his doorstep, his elder brother, sister-in-law, and father came out of the yard. He asked, "Are you alright?"
Mei Yueqin shook her head.
Wu Yingwei snorted coldly, "You're still worrying about us."
"How do you plan to handle this?"
"You really don't want us to get involved?"
"No need," Wu An smiled and said, "Just handle it the way it should be handled."
Mei Yueqin immediately became anxious: "That won't do!"
Wu Ping frowned deeply: "A'an, is this the method you mentioned?"
Wu An nodded.
Wu Yingwei gave him a deep look and said, "Given that you beat someone up to the point of hospitalization and they're still not discharged, this situation is very serious."
"The Chen family also underwent a disability assessment."
"This isn't something that can be solved by paying money; I'm afraid I'll end up in jail."
Wu An said, "Dad, I understand everything you're saying."
Wu Yingwei breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."
He didn't say much.
Although I feel heavy-hearted, I am also gratified. Wu An is really different now. He hasn't been faking it; he has truly grown up.
They've taken responsibility.
Mei Yueqin shook her head: "I disagree. This is a matter of a lifetime."
"What will happen to you if you end up in jail?"
Going to jail is no small matter.
In the city, it's hard to find a job after being imprisoned, and you also have to endure strange looks from others, always feeling inferior.
Not to mention in rural areas, where people tend to follow the crowd, and even the smallest things can be blown out of proportion by gossip. Once someone has been in jail, it's difficult for them to find a wife, and they might not even be able to find someone with a disability.
"Sister-in-law, please calm down." Wu An smiled and said casually, "Going to jail will cause a lot of trouble in the future."
"But I won't go to jail."
Wu Ping interrupted, asking, "Why?"
"We'll wait and see," Wu An said. This wasn't something that could be explained in a few words, and with the Chen family members watching him closely, he couldn't explain it too clearly.
Wu Yingwei stared at Wu An with a probing gaze, not understanding where his second son got his confidence from.
Wu An beat Chen Long; the facts are clear, and there is both eyewitness testimony and physical evidence.
If the police were called, Wu An would have no room for argument.
Mei Yueqin and Wu Ping wanted to say something more, but he took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, and said, "Alright, both of you, say less."
"He has an idea now."
"Let's listen to him."
After saying that, he leaned against the door to smoke. At first glance, he looked just like the villagers watching the commotion. Who would have guessed that this was Wu An's biological father?
Old Meng asked, "Aren't we going to care?"
"I can't control it." Wu Yingwei finished one cigarette, lit another, and said, "He says how to handle it, so we'll handle it. I'm not afraid of going to jail."
"They seem fearless."
"I don't know if it's just a bluff."
Old Meng saw that Wu Yingwei hadn't been able to refill his cigarette several times, so he helped him refill it. He thought to himself, "You old rascal, you seem indifferent on the surface, but you're probably very anxious inside." But he said aloud, "I think A'an has something up his sleeve."
Mei Yueqin and Wu Ping also came over.
The villagers were also discussing the situation.
"What does Old Wu mean by this?"
"You're not going to take care of Wu An anymore?"
"I think so. After all, Old Wu has severed his father-son relationship with Wu An, so in principle he doesn't need to care about Wu An anymore."
"But the Chen family probably won't let this go."
"Yes, Wu An has changed for the better recently, but he definitely can't handle such a big matter on his own. In the end, he'll have to rely on his family."
"The Wu family's life was just getting better, and now they've caused this trouble again."
"Who told Wu An to commit such a heinous act?"
"..."
Mao Wang grinned from ear to ear as he saw the Chen family coming to cause trouble, and he immediately took up a good spot to watch the show.
After Wu An arrived, he even called Shen Fang: "Shen Fang, where are you? Come and see what's going on."
Shen Fang asked, "I'm at my grandma's house, what's there to see?"
Mao Wang explained the situation.
Shen Fang was stunned.
Mao Wang said gloatingly, "Since you're at your grandma's house, it's okay if you don't come. I'll film a video and show it to you later, so you can be happy too."
"What's there for me to be happy about?" Shen Fang said in a harsh tone, "I'm going back now."
She had just hung up the phone when she received a message from Wu An.
She replied that she would be right back.
Upon seeing Shen Fang's reply, Wu An smiled with relief.
This is a sure thing.
...
Wu An had no intention of making trouble. He came up to Wei Zhen and said, "I was originally going to come to you too, but since you came to me first, let's settle this matter."
Wei Zhen, looking every bit the shrew, cursed and said, "You little brat, no wonder you beat my son so badly, you're still so tough even now."
"You're not even willing to lower your head and apologize!"
Wu An said, "An apology is out of the question. You'd better draw a line."
"Are you calling the police to arrest me?"
"Or do you want to settle this privately?"
Wei Zhen's eyes widened, not expecting Wu An to be so direct. She paused for a moment before saying, "Let me tell you, my son's injury assessment is enough to put you in jail for life."
"so……"
Wu An asked, "So you called the police?"
"Of course not..." Wei Zhen answered subconsciously, then realized what she meant and said angrily, "Kid, let me tell you, don't provoke me!"
"If I get angry and call the police, you're finished."
Wu An suddenly realized: "So you're not angry now?"
"..." Wei Zhen cursed inwardly, "Are all young people these days so brave?" She said aloud, "I'm too lazy to waste words with you. If we settle this privately, you'll have to pay... 50,000 yuan for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress!"
Wu An laughed: "Only fifty thousand?"
Wei Zhen quickly corrected herself: "I...I misspoke, it was 80,000!"
Wu An said, "Eighty thousand isn't much."
"Your son has been hospitalized for almost a month, and I heard his condition has worsened. Is 80,000 really enough?"
Wei Zhen was completely baffled by him.
What does this kid mean?
You still think the compensation wasn't enough?
She asked with surprise and doubt, "Then 100,000?"
Wu An smiled and said, "To be honest, I've made some money recently."
"So the amount of compensation doesn't matter, as long as it's reasonable and based on evidence."
"I can't just pay you money because you made a baseless accusation."
Wei Zhen cursed inwardly, thinking, "Is he showing off his wealth?" She took out the file bag in her hand and said, "You need to have some evidence, right? This is my son's disability assessment for a level two serious injury."
Wu An's eyes lit up; this was a good thing! He said, "Let me see it."
Wei Zhen handed it over: "This is a photocopy."
"Tearing it up won't change anything."
Wu An opened the file bag, took out the documents inside, glanced at them briefly, and saw that they had official seals on them. He said, "These are good things, how could I bear to tear them up?"
