Chapter 901: Laying things out properly
The military department also has people specifically responsible for these disputes among military dependents; of course, they are usually not used, as there are their own neighborhood committees and women's federations and other grassroots departments in the residential compound.
Qin Hengzhi applied for the military department to intervene and handle it; this request is normal, as this is not a dispute, but a matter that needs fair handling, because it involves a vase worth tens of thousands of yuan and a child in the hospital.
As for the neighborhood committee, most of the time they handle neighborhood disputes and trivial family matters; the methods are basically mutual persuasion to shake hands and make peace; to put it bluntly, they hit both sides with fifty boards and try to smooth things over.
But there is nothing wrong with doing this; grassroots work is all like this.
It is difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs; many neighborhood disputes... for example, things placed in the corridor opposite are so many that they are almost blocking the door, and the opposite side also says the other side is noisy every day and doesn't let people live in peace, the naughty child is not watched, and always runs to their house to knock on the door... all such things are public saying they have reason and the mother-in-law saying she has reason.
But the Qin Hengzhi and Dong Ze families... are not like this; the two families haven't fallen out, and now that the office location is placed at the Dong family, it means this as well.
Everyone sits down and lays things out properly, so that the Qin family knows how to compensate, although Dong Ze privately said he didn't want any compensation, what does it have to do with a cat, it was two children quarreling and tearing at each other and accidentally touching it...
But Qin Hengzhi said no need, compensation should still be compensated, just see how much compensation is needed.
So, choosing the time after dinner, two people from the military department came, one was Xiao Jiang, one was Old Liu, and the two were responsible for handling this matter.
Lu Qiao and Qin Hengzhi were also sitting on the sofa at the Dong family at this time.
Logically speaking, this matter should be resolved in a small conference room or office, but following the opinions of the two families, it was at home.
After all, they live door to door, so this is also convenient.
Lian Liying also returned today.
She sat on a chair on the side. Her expression was haggard and very silent, but what she should do was done quite well; she boiled tea, and there were cups in front of everyone.
Lu Qiao looked at the few people in the Dong family without moving a muscle; except for Old Master Dong, everyone who should be there was here.
Grandma Dong, Dong Ze, Dong Yuanyuan.
It can be said that no one's expression was good.
Especially Dong Yuanyuan; even if she had a bottom line in her heart, a flash of panic also flashed in her eyes.
It felt like today was not what she imagined.
She sat in the corner of the sofa with her head down. Completely unlike her usual arrogant appearance.
Old Mrs. Dong had lost a lot of weight.
Her expression was also very haggard, as if she had aged several years all of a sudden.
The old lady quietly looked at Qin Hengzhi, and then looked at Lu Qiao, not knowing whose idea this was.
But if it weren't for Yuanyuan going around telling people that it was the cat Lu Qiao kept that caused the trouble, Qin Hengzhi wouldn't have applied for the military department to handle it.
At this time, she didn't even have the heart to blame her granddaughter.
Even looking at her felt distressing.
This is an ungrateful wolf that can never be fed; no matter how well you treat her, you can't get a bit of sincerity from her.
It's not about shirking responsibility here; it's really the same as her selfish mother.
Lu Qiao withdrew her gaze; Little Cangcang told her in her ear: 【Little Master, there is a nurse accompanying in the ward now, Huang Huang and Three Sparrows can't get in yet, maybe have to wait until later.】
Lu Qiao told Little Cangcang in her heart: "You go tell them two not to worry, if it's too late, come back quickly."
Little Cangcang flew away again with a swoosh.
Then Old Liu said an opening remark over there.
After all, the two of them were not here to socialize as guests.
He said: "Regarding compensation, Comrades Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiao have no objections. Then let's determine how much they should compensate."
"After all, neither of them was at the scene on the day of the incident. Only the three Dong family grandmother and grandchildren were at the scene."
Now Dong Mingming is in the hospital, and there is no way to go to her for investigation.
So as the two of us, we need Mother Dong and Yuanyuan to recount the scene at that time. Which of you two will speak first?"
Yuanyuan went to look at Grandma Dong.
Grandma Dong took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, clenched her hands, and began to talk about what happened at that time.
"... The two sisters have always been noisy for so many years. Many times I don't like to pay attention to them. After all, they are biological sisters, and it is normal to be noisy. I also scolded this one and that one like in the past. But neither of them was convinced..."
"Then the cat from Leader Xiao Qin's house didn't know how it jumped in. I really don't know about this. It should have run up and used its claws to push the window open, and because of this cat, the two people quarreled."
"The little cat jumped onto the desk; Yuanyuan, this child, has a violent personality and was shouting to drive the cat away. The younger sister naturally disagreed; she had been playing well with this cat these days, I know this, and then in the blink of an eye, I heard a series of sounds."
"Then I saw the two children standing by the desk, and that cat was also standing on the table."
"I heard Yuanyuan say that the cat's tail accidentally swept the vase, and only then was the vase swept to the ground and broken."
"But the premise is that Yuanyuan, this child, wanted to drive the little cat away; this is not the cat's fault, after all, it is a small animal, not a human, and seeing someone driving it away, it is also very scared."
"This is actually caused by carelessness; both of my children have responsibility, and this matter really has nothing to do with Xiao Qin and Xiao Lu."
"But since everyone is sitting together, and the comrades from the military department have intervened, let's resolve this matter once and for all, so as not to cause conflicts because of this matter in the future."
"My opinion is to divide this responsibility into ten parts; the two sisters Yuanyuan and Mingming occupy six parts."
"I also have responsibility, I occupy three parts, and Xiao Qin's family occupies one part."
"My meaning is, if according to the current price, Xiao Qin needs to compensate five thousand yuan; I don't know if my calculation is right?"
Xiao Jiang and Old Liu looked at each other.
Indeed, saying so is also very reasonable, but the amount of compensation is not small.
They say that raising cats and dogs is not easy to raise. If they cause trouble, the owner really has to be responsible.
It's the same principle as someone being bitten by a dog, the dog owner still has to compensate for the medical expenses.
If the bite is serious, not only medical expenses but also other expenses must be compensated.
It's just that who could have thought that the price of this vase was so expensive.
Lu Qiao looked at Old Mrs. Dong with a smile that was not a smile; this is really avoiding the heavy and taking the light, picking Dong Yuanyuan and herself out.
The words inside and outside were that Mingming led the cat in, and then led to this matter.
But the problem now is that there is no way to prove what the three grandmother and grandchildren said before the cat entered.
Even if Mingming clarifies what happened at that time now, if the old lady and Dong Yuanyuan insist that they didn't say those words, it seems there is nothing to do with them. ===== CHAPTER 902 =====
