PFC Chapter 281: Compensation
Chapter 281: Compensation
Liu Chunli was originally rubbing his hands with his head down. When he heard Su Chen's voice, he raised his head and saw the plate in his hand. He hurriedly stood up and walked forward to greet him.
"Achen, why are you here?"
Su Chen didn't answer him.
He looked at the messy ground, the fallen round table and the lame bench, and his eyes darkened.
"Who of you smashed it?"
His voice was very soft and clearly did not sound angry, but those people subconsciously avoided his sight.
Su Chen stretched out his legs, hooked his toes, and easily stood up the eight-immortal table. He put the plate with the pork elbow in place, then turned around and said, "Uncle, give me one of the big plates at home. I'll take this one back later."
"Oh oh oh, good."
Liu Chunli hurriedly searched in the cupboard and after searching for a long time, he found a large bowl.
Su Chen didn't despise it and poured the pork elbow from the plate into the old lady. Then he walked through the crowd and helped the old lady up.
"Grandma, I took my parents to the city to look at houses today. We had lunch at a restaurant. Mom said this pork elbow is very tasty and stewed until it's soft and mushy. It's perfect for you. Would you like to try it?"
The old lady nodded blankly: "Oh, okay."
He still didn't react even after Su Chen stuffed a pair of chopsticks into his mouth.
Su Chen lifted up one of the good benches, wiped it, and let the old lady sit down to eat her pork elbow. Then he looked at the group of people standing there: "What? Are you bullying my uncle because there are only elderly people in his family now?"
The group of people waved their hands again and again: "No, no."
Liu Chunli laughed dryly and explained, "Ah Chen, they are neighbors, but... there is a misunderstanding."
"It's inappropriate to just smash it up like that because of a misunderstanding, isn't it?"
The group of people nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, it's not appropriate."
"Yes, we know we were wrong."
But one of the young men was not happy.
"How is it wrong? My wife fell down at your house and almost had a miscarriage. What's wrong with throwing something at you?"
"Pregnant woman?" Su Chen looked at Liu Chunli curiously.
The latter nodded with a dry laugh and wiped his forehead.
"Well, it's because they think you have connections, Ah Chen, so they want to let people hide in our house so that they don't dare to come and arrest them. That's right, that's right..."
Liu Chunli said helplessly: "The kitchen floor was a little wet at that time, and Xiaolin fell without paying attention."
The young man snorted softly: "Whether I noticed or not, my wife fell down in your house, and you have to pay for this money!"
"I, I didn't say I wouldn't compensate you!" Liu Chunli sighed. "But, but you're asking for a thousand right out of the blue. How can you do that? That's... exorbitant."
Su Chen finally understood.
It's my own fault.
The old lady and my uncle were kind-hearted, which is why things turned out like this.
He sighed and nodded: "Yes, I have to pay."
The young man was stunned for a moment, then looked him up and down. "Uncle Liu, did you hear that? You're a sensible relative!"
Then he smiled and rubbed his hands: "That thousand yuan..."
“You can give the money, but we have to give it outside.”
Su Chen said, turning to look at Liu Chunli: "Uncle, do you have a gong?"
"No, but I can borrow it."
"That's Ah Chen, what are you going to do?"
"This one came here to hide and asked for a thousand. What if someone comes here to blackmail us in the future? It's a good opportunity to make it clear with everyone in the town now. If any pregnant woman wants to come to our house in the future, we can refuse her openly."
Su Chen said, looking at the young man: "Is it okay?"
The young man frowned, but when he thought of the thousand yuan, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
Qingping Town Center.
The sound of gongs.
It attracted about a hundred people to watch.
Su Chen asked Liu Chunli and the young man to explain everything clearly, and then he said, "Everyone, please be witnesses. My uncle was kind-hearted, but the pregnant woman fell. I'll pay the compensation, but the Liu family's money didn't come from the wind. After paying this thousand, if there are any pregnant women coming to our house in the future, don't blame my uncle and his family for refusing you."
"Also, a reminder to everyone: pregnant women are precious. If you really want to take them in in the future, please be careful."
He counted out a thousand and handed them to the young man.
"Now that the money is paid, the matter is settled, right?"
The young man was delighted: "Yes, yes, we won't ask for any more money."
"Leave a written receipt."
After both parties signed and put their fingerprints on the agreement, Su Chen struck the gong again: "Disband, all dispersed."
Liu Chunli went into the house as soon as he got home, and came out with a stack of money after a while.
"Achen, this is one thousand."
Su Chen pushed it back: "Uncle, it was actually me who implicated you today. If I hadn't gone to the police station, they wouldn't have come to our door."
"That's different. You went there to help."
The two of them pushed and shoved for a while, and finally the old lady slapped the table and said, "Alright, alright, Ah Li, if Ah Chen doesn't want your money, just take it back."
She happily nibbled on the pork elbow: "Mmm, delicious, Ah Chen, this is really delicious, very tasty~"
"Really? I'll go to the restaurant later and bring it back to you, grandma." Su Chen said, "Grandma, we're moving to a new house on our 18th birthday. Mom said she wants to take you over to stay for a few days. Is that okay?"
The old lady waved her hands repeatedly: "Go to the city? That won't work. I won't be used to living there."
"That's right, Ah Chen, your grandmother has never been to the city in her life. She must not be used to the food and accommodation here."
"My mom is here, so if you're not used to it, just tell her. It's settled. I'll be here to pick you up, Nineteen."
Su Chen said as he picked up the plate and entered the ghost path.
Liu Chunli was left looking down at the money and sighing.
The old lady nibbled on her elbow happily again. "Are you stupid? Didn't Ah Chen move to a new house at the age of eighteen? Why don't you just give this wallet a red envelope later?"
Liu Chunli's eyes lit up.
"Mom, you are so smart!"
"Nonsense! I've been eating more salt than you for so many years. Come on, this meat smells delicious. Have some too."
……
When Su Chen returned to the Lakeside Hotel, Old Man Su and the others had already left the box and gone to the lobby.
When he went downstairs, he happened to meet Lin Jingchun and others coming down from the third floor.
"Captain Lin, are you done eating so soon?"
"Well, Ah Mao is the only one on duty at the station. Pack some food and go back early so he won't go hungry during the New Year." Lin Jingchun hesitated and asked Su Chen in a low voice, "Master, when do you think we can do it?"
"Anytime," Su Chen raised his eyebrows. "Captain Lin knows Master Cai, right? Just ask Manager Wang to ask him to do it."
Lin Jingchun was astonished: "He also has real skills?"
"I've already caught the ghost, so does it matter if I have real skills or not?"
Lin Jingchun: “…”
Okay, it seems so.
No, this means that Master Cai is really incompetent.
"That Feng Shui..."
"Isn't it just the right time to go downstairs? By the way, I can ask Brother Yu to treat me to a meal later."
Lin Jingchun suddenly realized.
After rearranging the hotel lobby, Su Chen went to pay the bill and took Liu Chunhua to Chunming Street.
As soon as they reached the street corner, A Biao started to introduce excitedly.
"Uncle and aunt, this area originally belonged to Ayu's family. Later, some of it was divided up. However, after the opening, Ayu returned most of it. Now a lot of it is rented out..."
"This shop makes very authentic Guangbing. They're available even during the Qingming Festival. If they make oil at home, they'll put some oil residue in the middle. It's delicious!"
"The rapeseed oil from this oil shop is the most authentic. Whenever a child in our neighborhood falls or gets bruised, we just apply rapeseed oil on them and they'll be healed quickly."
"Auntie, this bicycle shop is owned by my friend. If you want to buy something later, I'll bargain for you..."
