Chapter 1259 - 1259 Where's the Money?

1259 Wheres the Money?

The old man couldnt help but look delighted. Excitement instantly filled his expressionless face. Really? They agreed to reconcile?

w.a.n.g Yunzhong nodded. Lets talk inside. Its cold outside!

Yes! The old man quickly answered and entered the house with w.a.n.g Yunzhong.

The old lady was cooking dinner in the kitchen. When she heard the door open outside, she couldnt help but poke her head out and say to w.a.n.g Yunzhong, I heard your car engine turn off a long time ago. Why did you only enter the house now?

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady felt that something was wrong, especially the smile on the old mans face.

Stunned, the old lady asked suspiciously, Whats wrong? Whats there to be happy about?

Without waiting for w.a.n.g Yunzhong to speak, the old man beat him to it. The police station called Yunzhong just now. They said that the other party agreed to reconcile.

What? The old lady was delighted. She rubbed her hand on her ap.r.o.n and walked out. Really?

Seeing that the two elders were so happy, w.a.n.g Yunzhong heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Although w.a.n.g Yunfas rotten matter was a headache, when he heard they could reconcile, he was as happy as if it was the new year.

Thats right. Officer w.a.n.g called me and asked us to talk at nine in the morning tomorrow, w.a.n.g Yunzhong said.

The old lady asked, Where are we going to talk?

The old man also looked at w.a.n.g Yunzhong. w.a.n.g Yunzhong was stunned. He didnt seem to tell him where to talk just now.

It should be in the hospital. Anyway, it s the hospital or the police station. Ill ask Officer w.a.n.g tomorrow morning, w.a.n.g Yunzhong said casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the second floor. Seeing that Xu Qianqian was silent, he pulled the two elders to sit on the sofa.

Whats wrong again? the old lady asked carefully.

w.a.n.g Yunzhong said, Officer w.a.n.g asked us to discuss an acceptable settlement amount in advance. Hes probably afraid that the other party will ask us to name a price tomorrow, so we have to discuss it in advance. When the time comes, appear with a better att.i.tude tomorrow.

Ah? Wasnt the other party supposed to name a price? The old lady was a little confused. They were the party who would lose money, so how could they ask them to name a price?

Isnt this just in case? Even if the other party offers a price, we have to have a psychological stand. At that time, there has to be a bottom line. We cant possibly give them a million yuan if they ask for it, right? w.a.n.g Yunzhong said.

Of course, a million yuan was just a metaphor. It was impossible to ask for a million yuan for such a thing. He had killed no one!

The old lady nodded as if she understood. The old man looked at w.a.n.g Yunzhong and said, We have no experience in such things. How much do you think is appropriate?

We have to give them however much they want. Otherwise, Yunfa wont be able to come out! the old lady said.

w.a.n.g Yunzhong calmed down and thought about it. If he had to go to jail for more than a year, thirty to fifty thousand yuan was not enough. This matter had to be at least a hundred thousand yuan, and it did not include medical fees. It was just a simple settlement fee.

I think it should be about two hundred thousand yuan, w.a.n.g Yunzhong a.n.a.lyzed objectively.

That much? The old lady was shocked and subconsciously asked when she heard two hundred thousand yuan.

w.a.n.g Yunzhong nodded. Weve already given fifty thousand yuan for the medical fees. We dont know if its enough. Since the other party agreed to reconcile, they must want money. In that case, thirty to fifty thousand yuan is meaningless. The other party will probably ask for at least a hundred thousand yuan.

Yunzhong is right, The old man agreed. Two hundred thousand yuan is about there. Lets be mentally prepared and let Li Xia go with the bankbook.

The old ladys heart ached for the money, but her heart ached for her son even more. She could only nod.

Fortunately, she had given w.a.n.g Yunfa and his wife five hundred thousand yuan before. After opening that vegetable stall, there was still a lot of money left. At least, no one else needed to help with this matter. Otherwise, even w.a.n.g Yunzhong would have to consider it if he had to take out two hundred thousand yuan at once.

Not that he could not fork out the money, but it mainly depended on who he lent it to. It was easy for w.a.n.g Yunfa to borrow money but difficult to return it. He was just afraid that if he lent it to him, he could not return it!

Dont let Qianqian know about this, w.a.n.g Yunzhong didnt forget to remind her in the end.

We cant hide it. When Yunfa comes out, shell naturally know, the old lady said.

w.a.n.g Yunzhong frowned and looked at the old lady. How would she have time to care about Yunfa? As long as we dont mention it at home, how would she know? Anyway, if we can, just dont say it. Shes pregnant now, and there are many problems. When the time comes, shell chase after me and ask if I gave them the money!

Got it. Mom wont say it! The old lady nodded, but in the next second, she jumped up from the sofa and ran towards the kitchen. Oh, I forgot about the egg soup for Qianqian!

The next morning, w.a.n.g Yunzhong called Officer w.a.n.g again. The place where they were going to reconcile was at the hospital, in the same ward as before.

At half-past eight, w.a.n.g Yunzhong met Li Xia with the two elders at the hospital entrance.

As soon as they met, the old lady asked, Xia, did you bring your bankbook?

Li Xia had a difficult expression on her face. One could not tell that she was happy because the two sides wanted to reconcile. When she heard the old ladys words, she shook her head.

Everyone was stunned. w.a.n.g Yunzhong said with a cold expression, Sister-in-law, didnt I ask you to bring the bankbook? Were here to reconcile. If you didnt bring the money, do you think they would agree to let him go?

I Li Xia wanted to say something but hesitated. Her expression was extremely ugly. Obviously, she was hiding something.

The old lady was a smart person and saw through Li Xias thoughts at a glance. She immediately asked sternly, Xia, tell me the truth. Where did the money go?!

Li Xias mouth moved, but in the end, she told them the truth. I lent it to my brother.

What?! The old lady felt her eyes blur when she heard that. She almost fainted!

w.a.n.g Yunzhong quickly went forward to support the old lady. Then, he looked at Li Xia and said, Sister-in-law, this is not a joke. Yunfa is waiting for this money to save his life. If you dont take out the money, he will go to jail!

Li Xia was also terrified now. Hearing w.a.n.g Yunzhongs words, she wanted to cry but had no tears. I know, but my brother said that he took the money to pay for goods. He cant return it now, so he has no choice!

We took that money out of our retirement money to supplement the two of you! The old lady stomped her feet in anger, but Li Xia was pregnant so she could not hit her. The old ladys face turned red. Its five hundred thousand yuan, but youre using it to supplement your brother?

My brother needed money urgently. He said that he would return it to me before the new year. No one expected something to happen to Yunfa, Li Xia cried.

The old man remained silent with a cold expression. w.a.n.g Yunzhong looked at the time. It was already the agreed time, so they couldnt be late. He said, Alright, go in first. Well talk about the money after were done talking!
