You have the right not to speak.

Haihua shrugged helplessly, with an indescribable expression on his face. He said softly: "You Li family, when you took advantage of our Chen family and pretended to be the boss to cheat, did you ever think that you would be in such a situation today?" "My grandfather said he was very angry. My grandfather is a person who cherishes his feathers and cannot tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. You, Li Zhi, deceived us first, so let the Lord of Justice settle this lawsuit."

When Father Li heard this, his expression became even uglier. He turned around and glared at Li Zhi, who was standing behind him with his head down. Li Zhi shuddered and muttered, "I... I was also bewitched at that time."

Haihua's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a cold and witty smile, his voice seemed to carry a piercing chill: "Bewitched? Do you want to brush this matter off with just such a light sentence? It's simply a fool's dream! You actually dared to collude with the Yue family and murder our security guards, and even my close friend Brother Wei was not spared. Because of your actions, we have suffered huge losses, how should this account be settled? Now, I receive many people coming to report your evil deeds every day, but I have not reported some of them. It can be said that I have already let you off the hook and done my utmost!"

At the same time, Wei Tianxian, who was standing not far away, happened to hear these words, and he couldn't help but feel touched. It turned out that Haihua had been silently bearing the pressure in order to protect himself and others, but he never complained to anyone. At this moment, Wei Tianxian secretly made up his mind to repay this friend who spoke out for justice.

Everyone in the Li family looked at each other, not knowing how to respond. Father Li took a step forward and said with a smile, "Brother, we are all from the same place, and we will see each other sooner or later. If it really comes to the point of a lawsuit, it will not be good for anyone. Otherwise, we will compensate you for some of your losses, what do you think?"

Haihua looked at Li's father firmly and said, "If compensation can solve the problem, I would have offered 30 yesterday. If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place."

When everyone in the Li family heard this number, there was an uproar. Li Zhi almost collapsed to the ground, thinking that he should go to jail.

Boss Li's face turned pale: "Haihua, you are asking for too much! Even if we sell everything we have, we can't come up with so much money. We even give you the house as compensation. Why do you have to kill us all?"

At this time, Li Laoer, who had been silent all this time, could not help but say, "Haihua, we are all from the same village, don't take things too far."

Haihua raised his head suddenly, his eyes sharp: "To the extreme? Who was the first to do it? When your Li family did that wicked thing, you should have thought that this day would come!"

Third uncle came over and scolded, "Look at you all, you are all dressed so fancy and you wear different clothes every month. I'm already giving you face by not stripping you all off and handing you all in to the authorities." Zhang Mei heard this from a distance and couldn't help shrinking her neck. She wanted to get away so much. She was about to suffer from depression from all the scolding she had received these days.

Haihua said coldly, "I just went to see that house. It's shabby. The neighbor said it's not worth the price at all. It should be reduced by half. The water pipes need to be overhauled. If you go to jail and let my grandfather calm down, I can tolerate it. If you keep making a fuss, I will put your whole family in jail."

The scene fell into a stalemate again, and the air seemed to freeze. The Li family looked at each other, waiting for the eldest brother Li to make a decision. Father Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "Haihua, you name a price, as long as our Li family can afford it, we will definitely pay it!"

Lawyer Liu Jianfeng stood up, cleared his throat and said, "I'm Lawyer Liu hired by the Chen family. We have only sued Li Zhi now. It is best for your family if Li Zhi goes to jail. I estimate he will be in jail for about a year. If you continue to make trouble, it may become ten years. Don't blame us for not reminding you then."

Li's father's face turned pale instantly, and he said with trembling lips: "Lawyer, this... this can't be done. Li Zhi is still young. If he really goes to jail for that long, his life will be ruined. No, absolutely not."

Haihua snorted coldly: "Who can be blamed for this? He should have thought about the consequences when he did the bad thing."

Li Zhi knelt on the ground with a plop and cried, "Brother Haihua, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it again."

Haihua looked at Li Zhi and felt a little bit reluctant, but when he thought of what the Li family had done in the past, he hardened his heart again: "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. It's too late to say this now."

Zhang Mei quickly stepped forward to help Li Zhi up, then turned to Haihua and the lawyer and begged, "Haihua, lawyer, please have mercy on us. We are willing to do our best to compensate you, just to let my husband go."

Lawyer Liu Jianfeng said with a serious expression: "This is not something we can decide. It mainly depends on the law enforcement department. You should leave quickly. The noise is not good. Don't make it difficult for the village chief. Change your ways and be a decent person in the future."

Zhang Mei was in tears, pulling Li Zhi away slowly. Seeing that the protagonists had left, everyone followed them and left as there was no point in arguing. Looking at their backs, Haihua was filled with mixed feelings.

Haihua sighed deeply, turned around and walked into the house. Great grandfather and great grandmother sat on the chairs, looking solemn. Haihua said softly: "Grandpa, do you think we did the right thing?"

Old Master Chen was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "My child, we are right, but we should forgive others when we can. If the Li family can really repent, it can be regarded as a good karma."

Haihua nodded and fell into deep thought. In the days that followed, Haihua often thought of Li Zhi's regretful eyes and Zhang Mei's tears. He knew that this incident would always leave a deep mark in his heart.

After this incident, the Li family suddenly became more reserved and low-key. Time flies, and soon, the court finally arrived at the moment of sentencing Li Zhi - sentenced to one year and eight years in prison! This sentence undoubtedly made Li Zhi pay a heavy price for his past behavior, and it also sounded a wake-up call to the whole society.

After all these twists and turns, Haihua also deeply realized that justice may be late sometimes, but it will never fail to come. It is based on this cognition that he secretly made up his mind to work harder in the future and do his best to protect the glory and reputation of the family and resolutely prevent similar incidents from happening again. Only in this way can we live up to the great foundation created by our ancestors and live up to the earnest expectations of our clansmen.
