Chapter 908: Let

~7 min read 1,365 words

One bundle is one thousand yuan; Lu Qiao took out twenty bundles before stopping.

"This is twenty thousand yuan, it is my compensation; Mother Dong, if there is no objection, please accept it in the witness of the two leaders and write me a receipt by the way."

At this time, Old Mrs. Dong was already leaning on the sofa powerlessly.

Looking at Lu Qiao's movements, she opened her mouth with a hoarse voice: "It's my fault; I didn't educate my eldest granddaughter well. Let her become what she is now."

Lu Qiao's expression returned to calm; expecting to solve all problems at once is impossible.

Dong Mingming is not yet an adult now.

And she will always get better.

If there are no special circumstances, Dong Mingming will still have to continue living in this family until she grows up.

This is a helpless thing.

Fortunately, they live door to door, so she can still take care of her in the future.

As for Dong Yuanyuan, she won't hold onto her for now.

So Lu Qiao relaxed her tone, and her voice became gentle: "Let's settle one matter at a time; Dong Mingming's matter has nothing to do with the compensation; your antique vase was broken, you must certainly feel heartache; they all say gold in troubled times, jade in prosperous times, which means, in a peaceful era, our antiques might become more and more valuable, but specifically how valuable, I can't say for sure now, so I can only compensate according to the current price..."

The old lady sat up straight and looked at Lu Qiao very seriously; although Old Mrs. Dong is biased and not good to Dong Mingming, this doesn't mean she is a fool.

She understood Lu Qiao's words.

It means this vase might be worth more than fifty thousand in the future, but let's say the ugly words upfront, I can only compensate according to the current price.

You can't say your things have appreciated, and you will come to me for money later.

It is just to extinguish some thoughts she might have in the future.

What the old lady is worried about now is not the antique vase.

She still has two of this vase, all put away properly.

This broken one is not as good as those two.

But according to the current price, it is indeed about forty thousand.

She really had nothing to say about Lu Qiao's compensation amount.

Because today, no matter if Lu Qiao compensates or not, she can only pinch her nose and admit it.

Because if it really comes to arguing, it will be like just now, tracing back bit by bit.

That is to put her Dong family's face in front of others to hit.

This face has already been hit so hard that she feels she has no face to see people until now.

So Lu Qiao being able to give this compensation is already very reasonable.

The old lady didn't prepare to continue arguing. She hoped Lu Qiao would leave quickly after the compensation was done.

She is really very uncomfortable now.

And Lu Qiao is right; the most important thing now is Dong Mingming in the hospital.

So Old Mrs. Dong said: "Today's matters are one after another; my brain is messy now."

"My meaning is, no matter if it is what I proposed or what you proposed, Comrade Xiao Lu, actually it's all fine."

"But this matter can't be handled like this, so let's follow yours."

"Comrade Xiao Lu, don't worry, I will write you a situation explanation letter."

"I guarantee that no matter if the vase appreciates or depreciates in the future, let's draw a period to this matter as of today."

"After today, let's not mention the vase matter, okay?"

Lu Qiao looked at Old Mrs. Dong.

If she had been as reasonable as today in the past, this family wouldn't be in its current state.

This generation, whether the family conditions are good or not, there are many children in the family; although it is the 80s now, the post-80s are only a few years old.

In the early years, children were not raised as carefully as in later generations; most were very rough.

So you say this child has depression, they will feel you are talking nonsense and looking for trouble.

And many people don't know what this disease is now.

If they knew, the first instinct would be that Dong Mingming is a mental patient, a lunatic.

So Lu Qiao will never mention these three words.

Still the same sentence as before; Dong Mingming is not yet an adult; she has no reason to adopt Dong Mingming, nor is it possible to send Dong Mingming to an orphanage; these are all unrealistic.

If Dong Mingming recovers and is discharged from the hospital, the greatest possibility is that she will still have to return to this family.

So Lu Qiao's voice became even gentler: "Okay, I will listen to you, Mother."

The old lady was not used to Lu Qiao being so gentle.

She just wanted to let Lu Qiao leave quickly.

That waste eldest granddaughter of hers, her usual ability was gone.

At this time, she was just standing there like a frost-beaten eggplant, not knowing what she was thinking.

Really feeling heartache and hatred, and even more disappointment and regret.

So the old lady picked up the fountain pen and didn't pay attention to her son or daughter-in-law, and wrote the guarantee letter for Lu Qiao neatly. Then she handed it to Lu Qiao, accepted the money, and wrote a receipt.

Old Liu and Xiao Jiang acted as witnesses and signed their names.

These two people looked at each other; it seemed that nothing was solved by coming here today.

It was just signing a name.

But they really witnessed the legendary Lu Qiao.

I heard that the Women's Federation and the neighborhood committee both wanted her to manage some things, but Lu Qiao was too busy and refused, but said she could go to help.

Now the neighborhood committee is preparing for that something-something compulsory mediation committee.

He thought, according to Lu Qiao's outstanding language organization and logical thinking ability, what problem couldn't be solved?

There was still some expectation in his heart.

The two people said goodbye quite neatly.

Then Lu Qiao also immediately wanted to return to the opposite side with Qin Hengzhi.

However, Lu Qiao said: "I wasn't alarmist just now; Dong Mingming is a timid little girl. She might really have been scared by this matter; if the matter is not resolved, even if Mingming wakes up, it's not guaranteed that she won't do this again if she encounters similar things in the future."

"So I hope to find a time, let's go to the hospital together and tell her that this matter has been resolved."

"Maybe she knows the problem is resolved, and the big stone pressing on her heart is moved away, and she feels relaxed, naturally, she will recover faster."

Old Mrs. Dong felt that she was a cheap-skinned person; she seemed to have been scolded by Lu Qiao until her brain became clear.

Just now saying her brain was messy was just an excuse.

So why find a time?

The old lady gritted her teeth and didn't even ask for the opinions of her son and daughter-in-law, and didn't even look at Dong Yuanyuan, but said directly to Lu Qiao: "No need to find a time, if you have time today, Comrade Xiao Lu, then let's go now."

Lu Qiao's expression became even gentler: "If it's like this, that couldn't be better; the earlier she recovers, the better for Mingming's body."

No one asked for Dong Yuanyuan's opinion.

If it were in the past, Dong Yuanyuan would certainly jump and shout, saying things like I won't go, I don't care, what does it have to do with me, etc.

But now she didn't dare to say it.

Lu Qiao's mouth was too powerful; she didn't dare to confront her.

And until now, she didn't know why Lu Qiao guessed so accurately.

Is she really that clever? ===== CHAPTER 909 =====
