dispelling the bear chief's concerns. Then, while staying in the bear tribe for a period, she discovered that the tribe's specialty, sweet sticks, were actually corn from her world.Because of this dis...A middle-aged man called out to Lianyi, and he finally understood. The other party had no intention of making amends at all. They had quoted an unreasonable price, one they couldn't afford, trying to force them back.

"Elder sister, is there any room for negotiation on this number"

"No."

The ripple's answer was very concise.

"Sister, this isn't a small amount. You have to give us some time, we need to raise it."

The man frowned and said.

"It's alright, after all your son is locked up here now. Even if there is a trial, it will take time. Our family will be watching closely. If you can't come up with the ten thousand yuan in compensation before the verdict, I'll be even happier."

Ripples stared intently at the man's eyes and said.

The frenzied hatred in her eyes made the man's gaze flinch, he avoided Ripple's stare and nodded before falling silent, no longer attempting to stop her from leaving.

The ripples came out of the room with her daughter-in-law and eldest son, just to see the three siblings and Yu Meifeng's father waiting at the door.

She feigned weariness, rubbing her temples, and said to Yu Meifeng's father:

“Dear mother-in-law, things have been chaotic at home these past few days. Meifeng is pregnant again and can't do heavy work or get too excited or upset. I also need to look after Da Bao, so I'm worried I won't be able to take good care of Meifeng. Perhaps she could go back to her parents' place for a few days first, and we can bring her back after the funeral arrangements for Qingshan are completed. What do you think”

"Alright, these are all small matters. Please take care, uncle."

Yu Meifeng's father was a more honest man, and he also knew the local custom that pregnant women couldn't attend funerals. He would be happier if his daughter could avoid the trouble, so he agreed readily. On the other hand, Yu Meifeng herself was somewhat reluctant.

"Mom, I think I should go back! Besides helping out with the funeral arrangements, I also want to see Qing Shan off for one last time."

Her eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.

"I know your feelings, but you also know the customs here. Don't you think about yourself and the child in your belly Don't worry your parents."

The ripples sighed and said.

"Then I'll listen to Mom."

Yu Meifeng touched her stomach. In the end, she compromised for the child in her belly and returned to the Yu family with her father.

After the family went back, Lianyi did not tell the children about the middle-aged couple she had encountered. She only took out her money box and gave some money to Lao Er to prepare for the funeral arrangements, then asked Lao Si to go to Luojiacun to announce the death.

The original person comes from Luo's village, and there are three brothers in the village who have always kept in touch over the years, so they must be notified. Also, the neighbors around here.

When the Song family hung up white cloth, neighbors spontaneously came to visit.

The funeral went well, but as ripples had sent a white-haired person off to the afterlife, she didn't show up on the day of the burial. She could only silently weep in the house. All the old girlfriends around her shed tears for her too.

After Qing Shan's seventh day of mourning passed, Lian Yi let Qing Chuan go back to work. The third daughter and the youngest son were on summer vacation and stayed with Lian Yi every day. Lao Si, following Lian Yi's instructions, went to the police station every other day to inquire about the progress of the case.

The middle-aged officer was also a bit helpless. Chen said they would try to raise money, but there's been no news for so long. Are they giving up

Just as he was about to report the case, the Chen couple arrived with people, wanting to see Luo Lianyi.

Song Qinghai saw that the Chen family had arrived and immediately ran home to tell his mother.

"Xiao Hai, are you seeing this right"

"Mom, I'm sure I didn't see wrong, even if those two people were turned to ashes, I would recognize them."

"Alright, I understand. Go busy yourself, and I'll wait for them."

"Mom, I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay home with you."

The ripples nodded, not chasing the child away, and the child was still very filial.

As expected, half an hour later, Mr. and Mrs. Chen arrived with a man.

"Is Lao Da (Sister Luo) at home"

"In."

A ripple answered, letting the youngest son go to open the door and lead the person in.

The Chen couple saw the young man carrying filial piety into the house. After entering, they noticed that the courtyard of the Song family still had white lanterns hanging. Their eyes flickered, and then they carried their belongings into the main room.

This is the dining area of the Song family. There is an old Eight Immortals table and a few faded stools.

Ripples sat in the main seat and made no move to stand up to greet them. These people were not worthy, she merely uttered a word faintly:

Sit!

The three people put down the rice, noodles, and oil in their hands, and only then did the Chen couple sit down opposite Lian Yi.

Chen's father placed his black leather bag on the table, taking out several bills and laying them down one by one. Then he took out a draft paper and placed it in front of Lianyi before finally speaking:

"Sister, we've gathered all the money. Please count it. If there are no problems, just sign and put your fingerprints here."

Ripples didn't rush to cash the check, but instead let her youngest son read the contents of the paper that needed a signature first.

Song Qinghai is a senior in high school this year, reading this will definitely be no problem. He picked it up and read it aloud:

"Letter of Apology, to the Family of Song Qingshan, the Victim"

Half an hour later, Song Qinghai finished reading. Li Anni listened and said to the middle-aged man standing behind Chen's parents:

"Please modify a few things. First, Chen Bing's drunk driving must be clearly stated, because as the at-fault party, he is responsible for compensating my son's family."

Clearly define a sum of one million yuan. This is not compensation from your Chen family out of humanitarianism, but compensation for the loss of my son's life, it's a payment in lieu of damages.

Third, this letter of understanding must be made in three copies. My family keeps one copy, the police station keeps one copy, and you keep one copy. Do you have any questions

As the ripples of news spread one by one, the only man standing there flickered in his eyes. He knew that the Chen family had kicked an iron plate this time, and the other party had blocked all their back doors they could use.

The Chen couple didn't expect that a housewife would be able to articulate such crucial points in an organized manner. It seems they had underestimated her.

Of course not.

Chen's father said.

"Okay, let's go to the police station now. I don't feel safe carrying this much money. It's better to deposit it in a nearby bank."

Ripple didn't give the three people any time to delay, and immediately stood up.

Under the relentless pressure of ripples, things unfolded exactly at her pace.

The Chen couple watched as ripples left, and in the end they said nothing. Since the money had already been spent, it was better to first save their son before worrying about anything else.

After putting the money in the bank, Lian'Yi went home with her deposit slip. She didn't hide this from her children either. The next day at noon, Yu Mei-feng came back leaning on her waist.

"You're here, how are you feeling these days"

Ripples is embroidering a handkerchief at the moment. This is for practice, the original owner had muscle memory, but she needs to fully master it, which will take some time.

"Thank you for your concern, I've been doing well at home these two days, and the child hasn't been causing any trouble."

Yu Mei-feng smiled and touched her belly, saying.

"That's good. Since you're here, let's talk about how to distribute the compensation from Qingshan."

Ripples knew the other party's purpose, so she got straight to the point.

Yu Mei Feng's eyes lit up, and she still said in a sweet voice:

"Mom, I hear you."nyone with a clear head would know which choice was better.As for those who were unsuccessful, Suyun also did some soothing:"Don't be discouraged, everyone. Not being chosen isn't your fault. It's sim...
