The ward on the third floor was obviously much more luxurious, and Lin Wang's face darkened instantly.
His face darkened even more after hearing Erniu's words.
"Dad, I never expected Su Dashan to be staying in such a nice hospital room, even better than our brick house."
This isn't hospitalization; it's clearly enjoying life.
"You idiot, just say so if you don't want to live in a brick house."
Lin Wang was almost driven to his death by his stupid son.
Seeing his father was angry, Lin Erniu realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly lowered his head to make himself less noticeable.
Lin Wang took a deep breath and continued walking forward.
Standing at the door of Su Dashan's ward, I gently knocked, which attracted the attention of the people inside.
"Didn't the nurse just leave? Who's here now?"
Yan Ling muttered to herself.
Li Hanting walked over and opened the door unhurriedly. There stood a father and son he didn't recognize, but he could vaguely guess their identities.
Lin Wang recognized the person in front of him as Li Hanting at a glance.
He had met Li Hanting a few times in the past few years, and the other man's face lingered in his mind.
Who's here?
Because the hospital bed is at the very back, no one can see the main entrance.
Seeing no movement at the door, Su Xiang peeked out and asked.
Li Hanting turned to the side, and everyone except Su Jingjing's pupils dilated instantly.
"You, Lin Wang, still have the nerve to come here? What, you want to come to the hospital and beat me up?"
Yan Ling rolled up her sleeves, striking a pose reminiscent of a shrewish woman launching a tantrum.
Lin Wang walked past Li Hanting with his head down, placed the fruit on the table, and said with a fawning smile, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? I came here specifically to see Dashan."
"Pah! Who's your sister-in-law? Don't try to claim kinship. We don't have any relatives like you. Don't forget, our two families are sworn enemies."
Yan Ling spat it out, her words as offensive as could be.
Lin Wang's expression stiffened for a moment, then he brazenly took two steps forward to get closer to the hospital bed. "Dashan, is your head injury any better?"
Su Dashan saw his wife giving him a meaningful look and kept his mouth tightly shut.
Lin Wang continued, "This was my husband Da Niu's fault, and I've already given him a good scolding."
"Don't worry, the Lin family will definitely compensate for the medical expenses this time."
Yan Ling sneered, "Compensation?"
"Okay, the surgery fee is one thousand yuan, plus daily expenses, the total cost is one thousand one hundred yuan, it's all written in black and white, you can pay me back."
He then asked his daughter to lay out the bill details for them to see.
"My God, over a thousand yuan!"
Lin Erniu didn't even have fifty yuan in savings, so a thousand yuan was an astronomical sum in his eyes.
It’s over!
This time, my older brother has gotten himself into serious trouble.
Lin Wang's eye twitched; he thought it would only cost three or five hundred at most.
They don't have a thousand yuan.
No wonder the Su family stayed in such a nice hospital room; they had other plans in mind. Of course, they didn't care about the money that wasn't theirs.
"In addition to medical expenses, there is also compensation for emotional distress."
When Yan Ling first saw Lin Wang's silly expression, she was overjoyed.
She learned about the concept of compensation for emotional distress from her daughter.
"Mom, we haven't been working in the fields these past few days, which has caused us to miss a lot of work."
"Yes, yes, and also lost wages."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, united in their hatred of the enemy, listed out all the losses and expenses.
Lin Wang and his son immediately felt that they had come here to be humiliated.
He doesn't argue with women.
Turning his attention to Su Xiang, he said with difficulty, "Brother, you know I don't have that much money either. Could you perhaps make an exception for me?"
"Da Niu is my lifeline, he can't go to jail."
He neither wanted to pay money nor go to jail; he got all the good things in the world.
For a fleeting moment, Lin Erniu thought that if his elder brother went to jail, the family would be at peace.
Su Xiang, who was always a nice guy, ignored Lin Wang's request.
Dashan is his son, and his father has seen the suffering he has endured these past few days.
"The final outcome will be determined by the law."
This one sentence silenced Lin Wang and relieved the Su family, who were afraid the old man would soften his stance.
Su Jingjing and A Ting exchanged a glance, silently asking him how he knew their father wouldn't soften his heart.
Li Hanting's lips curled slightly as he leaned down and whispered in Jingjing's ear, "Because I understand Dad."
Su Jingjing was slightly surprised.
In fact, Li Hanting greatly admired his father-in-law's character. As the village chief of Sujiazhuang, he worked diligently and tirelessly, always contributing to the villagers.
The Lin father and son returned to Lin Family Village in a daze.
I could hear the noise inside even before I entered the house.
"Fourth brother's wife, you're still not up. Do you want me to feed you? All you do all day is cling to men in bed."
Granny Lin banged on a gong and drum in the courtyard, yelling and cursing at everyone she caught.
"Third son's wife, you're always trying to cheat and be cunning. I asked you to wash the vegetables, and look how many leaves you've torn off."
The third daughter-in-law of the Lin family secretly rolled her eyes; she was much more diligent than the fourth daughter-in-law.
"Second son's wife, haven't you eaten? You haven't finished washing these few clothes yet."
There were at least three buckets full of clothes on the ground, but Granny Lin said it was just a little bit.
She was actually worried about Erniu, and couldn't muster the energy to work.
"Eldest son's wife..."
Lin Wang couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly pushed the door open.
"What are you babbling about? Can you please lower your loud voice?"
Several gossipy women who were on their way to work had already been squatting in the corner eavesdropping.
The village chief's house has been quite a scene these past few days. First, someone broke the head of the neighboring village chief's son, and then Lin Daniu was arrested. One thing after another has caused quite a few laughs.
"Erniu, you're back."
Lin's daughter-in-law dropped her clothes, quickly wiped her hands, and ran to her husband's side.
"Old man, you're finally back."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family ran out of the house, excitedly asking, "Dad, is Da Niu back?"
I looked left and right, but I couldn't find any sign of the big shot.
Lin Wang's face stiffened for a moment as he glanced at the people filling the courtyard.
He sighed, "Let's come in first and talk."
Upon hearing the sigh, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.
Lin Wang sat in the head seat and remained silent for a while before recounting the events in detail.
"More than a thousand yuan, the Su family is trying to extort money from us."
Old Mrs. Lin only cared about money. Every penny her sons earned had to be handed over to her. She absolutely forbade them to hide any money.
Lin Siniu's drowsiness was also driven away.
“Dad, if we pay off this money, we’ll be penniless, and we might even be in debt.”
Lin's fourth daughter-in-law chimed in, "Yes, Father, Si Niu is right."
Immediately afterwards, Lin San Niu, Lin San's daughter-in-law, and others stood with Lin Si Niu. The three families, who usually quarreled, temporarily put aside their grudges and united to defend every penny of the family's money.
Only Lin's eldest daughter-in-law cried and begged, "Da Niu, if you go to jail, we mother and children won't live anymore."
Then everyone noticed another serious matter.
Turns out, not only will they have to pay compensation, but they can't escape going to jail either!
