Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Compensation or Robbing?
Grandpa Chen took a sip of his tea, glanced at Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua and asked, “I wonder why niece Wang and niece Liu came to my place today?”

Wang Muxiao took a sip of water and frowned. She was used to drinking mountain spring water and could no longer swallow the brackish water.

Putting down the cup, she said with a smile, “Uncle Chen, I’m here today to talk about my nephew and niece’s medical expenses. It’s been ten days since your grandson beat my family’s children. Gou Dan’s mother promised to compensate my nephew and niece before.”

Grandpa Chen frowned after hearing her words. But before he could refute, Wang Muxiao said again, “Uncle Chen, you won’t pretend to know nothing and try to avoid the responsibility, right?”

Grandpa Chen was about to explain, but was interrupted by Liu Hua. She clutched her chest, looked at her friend with wide eyes, and said in disbelief, “Ah Xiao, how can you say that about Uncle Chen?”

“Uncle Chen is a wise, generous and righteous man. Two days ago, when his family separated, he gave more than 150 yuan and a lot of food to other branches. Therefore, he will never evade responsibility and pretend to be poor.”

“Am I right, Uncle Chen?” She added with a smile.

Wang Muxiao nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and said apologetically, “Uncle Chen, I’m sorry to misunderstand you. It’s just that my family has no money, and I really have no choice but to come to you. You won’t blame me for this, right?”

Seeing them talking with each other like no one else was around, Grandpa Chen was filled with anger. He knew clearly that these two women were pushing him to the high ground to prevent him from refusing to pay. But, can he refute their words?

Although he gave a little money and food to each member of the other branches, the total amount of money he gave for each branch was indeed almost two hundred yuan. So, what they said was not wrong.

What’s more, when they praise him, if he refutes their words, wouldn’t that be equivalent to admitting that he is a stupid, stingy, and cunning person?

Grandpa Chen almost vomited three litters of his old blood from their shrewdness, and wanted to explain. But before he could utter a word, he heard his second son interrupted him and said proudly, “Of course! My family will never break our promise. Since my sister-in-law promised you and your family, we will honor it.”

Hearing this, Grandpa Chen’s face turned red then green then white as he glared at his stupid son. He wished he could slap him to death to prevent him from talking nonsense again.

But in front of Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua, he could only restrain himself, show a stiff smile, and said through gritted teeth, “It’s indeed like what my son said. Niece Wang, can I see the receipts?”

Wang Muxiao nodded and handed over a stack of receipts, “Uncle Chen, here are the receipts.”

Grandpa Chen counted the money in the receipts, and as time passed, his face turned ashen.

Noticing the change in his expressions, Wang Muxiao said with a sigh, “Uncle Chen, in addition to my family’s children, we also brought Xiao Lin to the hospital. His injury was very serious and it will take at least six months to recover. Fortunately, we sent him to the hospital on time. Otherwise, he may lose his arm. If that happens, this matter cannot be solved by compensation alone!”

After counting the receipts, Grandpa Chen found that the total bill was more than a thousand yuan, and his hands were shaking from shock. He raised his head and asked, “Niece Wang, is there anything wrong with these receipts? How come the total is more than a thousand yuan?”

After listening to his words, Wang Muxiao gave him a polite, understanding smile and said, “Uncle Chen, that’s because in addition to blood tests and X-rays, Xiao Lin also needs to put on a cast and go back for check-ups every two weeks. In addition to medicines, check-up, and consultation fees, we also add a little bit of physical and mental compensation fees. So a total of 1,912 yuan needs to be paid.”

“Since we live in the same village, my family won’t be too demanding with your family. We will deduct 12 yuan and you only have to pay us 1,900 yuan.” She added with a generous smile, as if she had just given Grandpa Chen a great help.

Grandpa Chen’s sons were shocked when they heard her words. One of them slapped the table and said angrily, “Wang Muxiao, don’t go too far! What kind of physical and mental compensation that costs so much? You are robbing my family!”

Liu Hua looked at Grandpa Chen’s second son and said with a frown, “Chen Erlang, you must be careful with your words. It’s not Ah Xiao who went too far. It’s you and your family who have gone too far.”

“The receipt clearly states all the expenses we paid and it has the seal of the county hospital. If you don’t believe us, you can go to the hospital to check the authenticity of these receipts.”

“As for the physical and mental compensation, we only add 300 yuan. Isn’t this what your nephew owes my niece and nephew? What? Your nephew dared to beat other people’s children to the point of breaking their arms and suffering from internal injuries yet your family refused to pay the compensation. Are you taking the Li family and the Lu family as a joke? Are you looking down on me and Ah Xiao?”

“What’s more, one of Xiao Lin’s arms was broken and he won’t be able to work in the farm and get any work points for at least six months. Shouldn’t you compensate him for his losses? Or are you saying that your family will let him starve to death?”
