Chapter 292: Mouth Change Fee
As soon as Xu Haoran walked into the mourning hall, he saw a sad scene, Xu Erhu's wife was very young, but about twenty-one or twelve years old, carrying a child on her back, unable to speak, and was asleep.
Xu Haoran walked to the statue and put on a stick of incense, and said to Xu Erhu's wife: "Sister-in-law, the festival mourning changes." ”
It's okay not to speak, but Xu Erhu's wife cried even more.
Even the child on his back woke up, and the mother and son howled and cried together, which made the listener sad and the listener wept.
Although Xu Haoran and Xu Erhu are both from Xujia Village, they have actually grown up since they were young, because of the age gap, they rarely play together, and at most they just meet and say hello.
But at this moment, Xu Haoran felt indignant about what happened to Xu Erhu.
Even if Xu Erhu is at fault, he shouldn't pay a penny, at least he has to compensate a little, so that Xu Erhu's wife can raise the child.
"Haoran, I know you have some ways in Linchuan City, please help us, I will kneel for you. ”
At this moment, Xu Erhu's father, Xu Zigen, walked in, and when he saw Xu Haoran, he didn't care about the difference in seniority, knelt on the ground, and hugged Xu Haoran's legs.
Xu Haoran was taken aback by Xu Zigen's actions, and hurriedly reached out to help Xu Zigen, saying, "Uncle, don't be like this, I can't afford it." ”
Xu Zigen said: "We have no choice, we have no money to find a lawyer, and even the money for the funeral is borrowed, how will the child live in the future." ”
Xu Haoran said: "Uncle, you get up and talk, really don't be like this." ”
Xu Jianbiao said: "Brother Gen, you get up first, if you can help him, you will definitely help." ”
Hearing Xu Jianbiao's words, Xu Zigen got up from the ground.
Xu Haoran helped Xu Zigen and said, "Let's go over there and sit down and talk." ”
When they arrived at the side room, Xu Haoran sat down with Xu Zigen and Xu Jianbiao, and Xu Jianbiao said, "Brother Gen, tell me what you know." ”
Xu Zigen said: "Erhu has been working in Repulse Bay for more than a year, and it used to be good, and he could pay his family thousands of yuan every month, doing hard work, but no one expected that something would happen a few days ago, and the real estate development company suddenly called us to claim Erhu's body, and said that he was drunk and did not listen to dissuasion before the accident, so they refused to compensate." ”
Xu Jianbiao said: "Erhu has a family and has always been very stable, how can he know that he wants to go to work and still drink?"
Xu Zigen said: "This is what we think is strange, Erhu usually doesn't drink, only when he gathers with relatives and friends, or during the New Year's holidays, he will drink a little, but not much, how can he drink when he goes to work?"
Xu Haoran said: "Do you suspect that there is something strange about his death?"
Xu Zigen said: "I suspect it, I heard that the construction is dark, once something happens, anything can be done." ”
Xu Haoran said: "It's just speculation now, and it's hard to find out." ”
Xu Zigen said: "Of course we know, in fact, even if the truth is found out, if he really didn't drink, but just fell to his death, the real estate developer will only lose money." So we're not going to scrutinize it, as long as they pay compensation. ”
Xu Haoran sighed a little, this is the sorrow of the poor, knowing that he has been treated unfairly, he still doesn't dare to seek justice, he thought about it, and said: "Uncle, if you just ask for compensation, I can help you ask." ”
Xu Zigen was overjoyed when he heard Xu Haoran's words, and excitedly took Xu Haoran's hand and thanked him.
Xu Haoran said: "Uncle, don't get excited, I'm not necessarily sure." ”
Xu Zigen said: "No matter what, we have to thank you, we have no other way." ”
Xu Haoran said: "I may go back today, and there will be news in a day or two." ”
……
Coming out of Xu Erhu's house, Xu Haoran was still very emotional, although it had nothing to do with him, but Li Muhua's family was too unconscionable, his family's development of Repulse Bay, to say the least, was hundreds of millions of profits, and now that something happened, he was not even willing to compensate the family of the deceased?
When he returned home, he saw Jin Linger and Xu's mother chatting happily, and Xu Haoran was also very happy.
looked at the time, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Haoran called his mother into the house, and said: "Mom, I have a lot of things, and I can't come back often, I'll transfer some money to my father's account, you can watch the flowers yourself, don't save too much, spend where you should spend." ”
Xu's mother said: "We don't have anything to use money, you don't have to send us money, keep it for yourself." ”
Xu Haoran smiled: "Mom, it's easy to make money now, don't worry about me." ”
Xu's mother said, "Okay then. After speaking, he paused and continued: "That Miss Jin is good, don't let people down." ”
Xu Haoran said with a smile: "I know, as long as you agree, I will start to prepare for marriage, and I will call you again when the date is set." ”
Mother Xu couldn't close her mouth when she heard Xu Haoran's words, and said, "That's good, that's good." Hurry up, your dad is crazy about hugging his grandson. ”
"Got it, Mom. ”
After Xu Haoran finished speaking, he leaned over and kissed his mother on the forehead.
It's a little uncomfortable, they are old, but they can't stay in Qingyang Town to take care of them.
"Would you like to stay at home for the night before leaving?"
Xu's mother said.
Xu Haoran said: "I still have a lot of things to do in Linchuan, let's talk about it later." ”
Xu's mother said, "Okay then. ”
Xu Haoran and Xu's mother went out of the house, and Xu's mother called Jin Ling'er aside and took 800 yuan to Jin Ling'er.
The money itself is nothing, what matters is the meaning, the 800 yuan is called the change of mouth money, and Jin Linger has to change his mouth when he takes it.
Jin Ling'er also knew the customs, and after a little hesitation, she took the money and shouted, "Mom." ”
Mother Xu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and said with a smile: "Miss Jin, we know that you are from a rich family, and eight hundred yuan is nothing, but this is our heart, I hope we don't dislike it." ”
Jin Ling'er said: "You can call me Ling'er, it doesn't matter if you have more money or less money, what matters is your heart." ”
Xu's mother said: "Well, if you want to go back, I won't leave you, be careful on the road." ”
Jin Ling'er said, "Okay." ”
Then Xu Jianbiao and his wife personally sent Xu Haoran and Jin Linger to the parking place at the entrance of the village, and Xu's mother nagged for a while, until Xu Jianbiao impatiently said Xu's mother, and then he was willing to let Xu Haoran and Jin Linger leave.
Xu Haoran drove the car and said with a smile: "Is my mother very verbose?"
Jin Ling'er said: "No, I think it's very good, I must be very happy to have my mother so concerned." After speaking, there was some sentimentality in his eyes.
Xu Haoran said, "What's wrong?"
Jin Ling'er said: "It's nothing, I'm just too happy." My mother died early, and it was my father who brought me up, so I never felt the warmth of my mother. ”
Xu Haoran said: "In the future, my mother will be your mother, and in the future, you just don't think she is verbose." ”
Jin Ling'er said, "How come?" After speaking, she took a long breath and said with a smile: "Your mother just called me aside and gave me eight hundred yuan." ”
Xu Haoran smiled and said, "I'll give it to you, don't tell me." ”
Jin Ling'er said: "Don't you know the meaning behind this?"
Of course, Xu Haoran knew that he had experienced it before, but he said: "I don't know." ”
Jin Linger said: "This is called a change of mouth fee, and your parents agree with us." ”
Xu Haoran smiled: "Yes, I thought my mother disagreed and wanted to give you a little compensation." ”
Jin Ling'er looked at Xu Haoran and knew that he was playing himself, so he said angrily on the spot: "Xu Haoran!"
Xu Haoran laughed and said, "Of course I know that it is a change of mouth fee, so let's go find a decoration company tomorrow and choose a decoration plan." ”
Jin Ling'er smiled: "Okay." Speaking of which, he is also full of expectations, what is Xu Haoran's home like?
The car drove out of Qingyang Town, Xu Haoran remembered Xu Erhu's matter, so he said to Jin Ling'er: "I went to see Xu Erhu's family just now, and his father knelt down and begged me, hoping that I could help him." ”
Jin Ling'er said: "With your character, you must have agreed." ”
Xu Haoran said: "I didn't promise that I would be able to get compensation, but I just said that I would help ask." ”
Jin Linger said: "His family is also quite miserable, so if you can help, you can help." ”
Xu Haoran said: "Well, I will do my best, hoping to help his family get a sum of money to ensure that the child's growth is okay." ”
Jin Ling'er said: "Those people's hearts are also black enough, and their families are dead, so isn't it natural to compensate their families with a sum of money?
