Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Chapter 72 Demanding Compensation

Now the matter has been made clear. The five kilograms of flour from Yi Zhonghai's house, the 1,500 yuan he mentioned, and a rabbit from the Yan family were all stolen by Banggeng.

Deputy Director Liu walked up to Qin Huairu, looked at her crying, and said expressionlessly, "Now that the truth has been uncovered, we are going to take Jia Geng back to the station. If you can get a letter of forgiveness from the Yan and Yi families, Bang Geng will only need to be educated for ten days or half a month before he can be released. If you don't get their forgiveness, I'm not sure what will happen to him because he stole a huge amount of money. He could even be shot."

Deputy Director Liu is now very speechless about the Jia family. From their words and actions just now, he finally understood what it meant that "the upper beam is crooked and the lower beams are crooked". With such a grandmother and mother, how can a normal child be raised?

Moreover, the law is not sound at this time. If the Jia family does not return the stolen money, and Yi Zhonghai continues to pursue them without issuing a letter of apology, Bang Geng may really be in trouble.

When Yan Jiefang heard what Deputy Director Liu said, he knew it was time for him to take action. He couldn't let the war of the Jia family spread to his own family.

Yan Jiefang then stepped forward and said to Deputy Director Liu with a smile, "Deputy Director Liu, Banggeng stole a rabbit from my house. If it were sold at market price, it would be worth three yuan."

"Now that the stolen rabbit has been recovered, as long as his family gives us five dollars, we will forgive Bang Geng's theft. If they don't give us five dollars, we will not forgive him."

After saying that, he did not forget to ask, "Deputy Director Liu, the amount of compensation I want is not excessive, right?"

He just wanted to make the compensation clear in front of the police. Otherwise, after the police left, it would be very difficult to get the Jia family to pay five dollars in compensation, and he didn't want to have any trouble.

Moreover, there is another benefit of forgiving the Jia family now, that is, the only two families left in the conflict are the Jia family and the Yi family, so they can jump out of it in advance and avoid being affected by the affairs of the two families.

When Deputy Director Liu heard Yan Jiefang asking him questions, he thought for a moment and thought that five yuan was reasonable, so he nodded and said to Qin Huairu, "They have made a reasonable request. What do you want to do?"

Hearing Yan Jiefang asking for five dollars, how could Jia Zhang agree to compensate Yan Jiefang five dollars? She immediately shouted back, "I don't agree to give Yan Laokou's family five dollars. Didn't we just take his rabbit? Now we have returned it to his family, and his family didn't suffer any loss!"

Yan Jiefang smiled after hearing this, but he was not angry. He looked at Jia Zhang, whose eyes were wide open, and said with a smile: "Aunt Jia, you have to think it over carefully. If you don't have the letter of forgiveness issued by my family, even if you get the letter of forgiveness from the uncle, Banggeng will still go to jail. At that time, Banggeng will also be expelled from school."

"Aunt Jia, we are not asking for five dollars to embarrass your family. We are mainly asking for Bang Geng to realize his mistake. If he is caught stealing someone's things, he must return double or triple the amount. This is to teach him a lesson. I am also doing this for the good of your Jia family."

As soon as Yan Jiefang finished speaking, the surrounding voices fell silent in an instant. Even Deputy Director Liu's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but curse Yan Jiefang in his heart for being shameless and speaking so righteously about compensation.

Since the police were present, Jia Zhang couldn't go through with the formal method of summoning Old Jia, and she couldn't beat Yan Jiefang in a normal way of speaking, so she couldn't utter a word and her face turned red.

Qin Huairu cursed inwardly when she saw her mother-in-law's behavior. She slowly looked at Yan Jiefang, and immediately showed a pitiful look on her face. She said, "Jiefang, you also know that our family is not easy. There is no money left after eating and drinking for the whole family, and we still have to pay back the 1,500 yuan to the old man. Can you please be kind and not take the five yuan?"

"Bang Geng is young, and he didn't steal your rabbit on purpose. Can you forgive him this time for the sake of being neighbors in the same yard?"

Yan Jiefang sneered in his heart. He came from the future and knew what kind of person Qin Huairu was through TV dramas. She was a complete white lotus.

Since Banggeng dares to steal our things, he should be prepared to be cheated.

Yan Jiefang replied expressionlessly: "Sister-in-law of the Jia family, I also know that it is not easy for you to support a large family by yourself, so I asked you for five dollars."

"If Bang Geng steals things from my house and doesn't get a penny in compensation, that will only encourage him to steal more. In the future, you will steal my things and I will steal your things in our courtyard. Anyway, we don't have to pay if we get caught. If we can't be caught, the stolen things are mine. Wouldn't our courtyard be in chaos then!"

After speaking to Qin Huairu, Yan Jiefang did not forget to ask the people watching the excitement: "Everyone, tell me, does Sister-in-law Jia need to compensate my family five dollars?"

After Yan Jiefang's introduction, the residents of the courtyard who were watching the fun nearby realized that if they didn't make the Jia family pay compensation, they would have to suffer in silence the next time a stick of evil was stolen from them.

"The Jia family will pay the money, and stealing will be punished."

"Of course he has to pay compensation. We can't spoil Bang Geng. We have to let him know that stealing will be punished so that he can correct his bad habits."

"Jiefang, you are right. Qin Huairu, quickly compensate Jiefang five dollars."

"..."

Seeing that everyone was on Yan Jiefang's side and clamoring for her to pay compensation, Qin Huairu sighed inwardly, knowing that she could not escape this time.

After taking a look at Jia Zhang behind him, a feeling of powerlessness and fatigue surged up, and he couldn't help but sigh.

There was no way she could get away with the five dollars, so Qin Huairu said to Jia Zhang: "Mom, give me five dollars to compensate Yan Jiefang."

Faced with the combination of the police and Yan Jiefang, Jia Zhang was helpless, but when it came to dealing with Qin Huairu, she was like Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts and could easily control her.

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance without any sympathy. Her face turned cold and she said, "Qin Huairu, you slutty fox, don't think about my pension money. I can't give you any money."

Jia Zhang would never give her retirement savings to Qin Huairu. If she opened a loophole, even if she gave it to her this time, based on Jia Zhang's understanding of Qin Huairu, there would definitely be a next time, and by then her retirement savings would definitely be taken away by Qin Huairu.

In addition, Jia Dongxu died, and Jia Zhang was worried that Qin Huairu would abandon her and Banggeng, so she needed to save some retirement money for emergencies.

"Go and borrow money from Yi Zhonghai. Let him take advantage of you, and he will lend you money." Seeing Qin Huairu's unhappy expression, Jia Zhang whispered to Qin Huairu.
