Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

When Qin Huairu saw that Liu Haizhong stopped Wang Shufen's action, she secretly said it was a pity. He really wanted to provoke Wang Shufen and make her hit her.

As long as Wang Shufen takes action, not only will she not have to help Banggeng pay compensation, she can also take the opportunity to blackmail Wang Shufen.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. His plan was seen through by Liu Haizhong, and the plan was stillborn.

Qin Huairu was indeed not going to clean up Banggeng's mess, but if the law really stipulated that if a minor damaged other people's property, she, as the guardian, must compensate for it, then she would have to pay even if she didn't want to.

Qin Huairu pretended to be calm and said, "What are you asking for compensation for? You should ask whoever damaged your property to pay it back."

Liu Haizhong said coldly, "Qin Huairu, stop trying to shirk responsibility. Banggeng is your biological son. He is a minor now and has no compensation ability. You, his biological mother, must pay the compensation."

Qin Huairu said indifferently, "I have long since disowned Bang Geng as my son. He stole something from your house, so you can go directly to him and ask for compensation. You can beat him to death or cripple him, I have no objection."

Liu Haizhong shouted angrily, "You say you don't recognize it? Does the law recognize it? You must compensate my family for the losses."

Qin Huairu said unreasonably, "I don't care whether the law recognizes it or not. I have no money anyway. You can kill me or chop me up as you please."

Liu Haizhong was immediately amused and said with a sharp look in his eyes, "Qin Huairu, you are playing rogue to me, right?"

At this moment, Wang Qiang came with two men and took over the courtyard.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up and he said enthusiastically:

"Deputy Director Wang, you've arrived just in time. Banggeng stole something from my house and damaged my property. Qin Huairu, as Banggeng's guardian, is actually unwilling to compensate him and even claims she no longer recognizes Banggeng as her son."

Wang Qiang said expressionlessly, "Qin Huairu, Banggeng has confessed to his crime of theft. According to the law, if a minor causes losses to others, the guardian should bear the liability for compensation."

"Don't say you don't recognize the stick jokes. That has no legal effect at all."

"Also, the law stipulates that parents have an obligation to raise their children until they are eighteen years old. If you refuse to acknowledge your child now, you will be guilty of abandonment and will be sentenced to jail."

Qin Huairu heard this and her tears fell like pearls from a broken string, her face full of sorrow as she said:

"Deputy Director Wang, it's not that I don't want to pay, but I really don't have the money!"

"My whole family depends on my salary to support them. My monthly salary is only a dozen yuan, which is barely enough to keep them fed and clothed. How can I have extra money for compensation?"

"As a widow, it's already very difficult for me to support my family. I really don't have the ability to take care of my son Banggeng, who is always getting into trouble..."

Liu Haizhong glared and said, "Qin Huairu, stop crying poor here. You got a lot of money just from your divorce from Yi Zhonghai. How can you be broke?"

"Deputy Director Wang, you absolutely must not trust her. This woman is great at crying poor and acting pitiful. She's used this to trick us into donating money before. She's cheated us out of over a thousand yuan, making her richer than anyone else in the hospital."

Wang Qiang nodded and said, "I know about this!"

"Qin Huairu, if you damage other people's property, you should compensate them. This is stipulated by law, and you can't deny it."

Qin Huairu said with tears in her eyes, "Deputy Director Wang, I have returned all the donations I made before. I really have no money left."

Wang Qiang had been working in Nanluoguxiang, so how could he not know what Qin Huairu had done? Therefore, he was extremely disgusted with Qin Huairu and said coldly:

"Qin Huairu, I don't want to waste my time on you. Just compensate the Liu family for five yuan, and we'll be done with it."

"If you refuse to pay compensation, I will have no choice but to put you in jail."

Qin Huairu's face changed slightly when she heard this. She instantly realized that she could not avoid paying the compensation, so she changed her strategy and looked at Liu Haizhong pitifully.

"Uncle Liu, my family is really in financial difficulty right now. I can't come up with that much money all at once. I'll compensate you one yuan first, and then I'll give you another one yuan every month until you pay back the five yuan."

Liu Haizhong was originally dissatisfied with the compensation of five yuan, but since it was the amount set by Wang Qiang, he couldn't object.

Now Qin Huairu said that she would compensate him one yuan a month. He Yuzhu suddenly became even angrier and said angrily:

"No, you must compensate me with five yuan in one lump sum. Everyone in this hospital knows your character, Qin Huairu. I don't trust you."

Qin Huairu burst into tears and said, "Uncle Liu, please have some pity on me. I really can't come up with so much money at once. I will definitely pay back the rest. I can write an IOU."

Liu Haizhong wanted to say something else, but Wang Qiang spoke first:

"Comrade Liu Haizhong, just do as Qin Huairu said. Have her write an IOU and pay one yuan a month until she pays five yuan. I will personally guarantee this. If she dares to cheat, I will personally put her in jail."

Liu Haizhong didn't want to offend Wang Qiang, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Qin Huairu, for Director Wang's sake, I will take a step back and agree to your compensation plan. Hurry up and pay the money and write the IOU."

Qin Huairu said stiffly, "I can't write."

Qin Huairu proposed to pay one yuan every month, with the intention of avoiding paying the remaining four yuan. However, with Wang Qiang's guarantee, she could not avoid paying a penny, so she was naturally unhappy.

Wang Qiang raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "It's easy. I'll write the IOU, Qin Huairu, and you just need to put your fingerprint on it."

As soon as Wang Qiang finished speaking, he took out the notebook he carried with him and wrote an IOU.

After writing the IOU, Qin Huairu reluctantly put her fingerprint on it under the gaze of everyone in the hospital, and according to the agreed method, she first compensated Liu Haizhong one yuan.

After Qin Huairu gave him one yuan, she pleaded with him:

"Deputy Director Wang, I sincerely implore you to keep Banggeng locked up for a longer period of time, preferably until he's eighteen. My family is already struggling, and we simply can't afford his torment."

Wang Qiang chuckled and said, "Bang Geng's theft wasn't a large amount, and since he's a minor, he won't be incarcerated for three years."

"I've decided to lock him up for a year, and when he turns sixteen, I'll send him to the countryside. Do you agree?"

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up, and she said quickly, "Thank you, Director Wang. This is a great idea. I totally agree."

Wang Qiang had a complicated expression and sighed, "Qin Huairu, don't thank me. This is something your neighbors came up with. It shows how much they hate your son."

Qin Huairu didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said calmly:

"Not only do the neighbors hate Bang Geng, but even I, as a mother, hate him. It's not that I'm cruel, it's just that Bang Geng is too naughty and there's no way I can educate him."

"I had to give him up with great pain. After all, I have two other women to support. I can't let our entire family's livelihood be cut off because of him."

After hearing this, Wang Qiang didn't know what to say, so he turned around and left the courtyard.
