Chapter Eighty-Five: A Car Accident?
Winter in Jiangcheng is coming.
The cold wind howled under the gray sky, and the hail clattered down on the tiles of the road and the roof.
Li Bei drove with Lin Xue on the way back to school, there were few pedestrians on the road, and Li Bei and Lin Xue chatted with each other.
Today, the two of them recorded the last part of the two songs "Lolita" and the chorus version of "Little Dimple" on Li Zuge's side, and the effect of the final song was naturally excellent, which made Lin Xue sigh a little at Li Bei's talent.
However, in order to prevent possible accidents in the future, Li Bei was ready to go back and upload the song to the Internet after discussing it with Lin Xue, Lin Xue had no objection to this, but said that he didn't want to affect his life and study because of this, and he didn't want his real name to appear when he signed it. Li Bei naturally has no opinion.
Recently, the relationship between him and Lin Xue has warmed up very quickly, although it is far from the point of determining the relationship, but the two often go out to record songs together these days, and sometimes they will have a meal together after that, these things have not been hidden from Wang Yu, sometimes Wang Yu is a little suspicious that Lin Xue is really with Li Bei, but when she asked Lin Xue, Lin Xue kept denying it, which made Wang Yu a little confused, In her opinion, Li Bei and Lin Xue seem to be almost no different from ordinary dating couples except for no intimate behavior these days. In the past few days, Li Bei has often been seen coming to the cherry blossom garden to pick up Lin Xue, and the other girls in the dormitory building are no longer surprised.
Wang Yu didn't know that the most important reason why Lin Xue was willing to go out with Li Bei was actually because after knowing the situation at home, he hoped that Li Bei could help her. She really wants to know about this, and I believe she will be moved again. The relationship between the two girlfriends is much deeper than most people think.
"How do you understand the situation at Wang Yu's house?" Lin Xue asked with some concern in the car, recently she looked at Wang Yu, who has always been optimistic, with an unprecedented trace of sadness on her face, and the whole person lost her previous look, which made Lin Xue feel a little distressed, but she had no way to help her, so she could only turn to Li Bei for help.
Li Bei listened to Lin Xue's words, thought about it and said, "I have already learned a little about the specific situation, and I also know what is going on in Wang Yu's family. As for the solution, there is indeed a plan that can help them, but this is not something that I can achieve unilaterally, and this requires the cooperation of the other party. Now I've started to send people to contact Wang Yu's father, and if we can finally reach a consensus, these things won't be a problem. ”
After listening to Li Bei's explanation, the worry on Lin Xue's face decreased slightly, and a smile appeared: "Then please, I really don't want to see Wang Yu go on like this." ”
"Huh! No, it won't. ”
Li Beizheng said, suddenly a tricycle in front of the car seemed to be a little out of control, the uncle riding the tricycle looked a little tired, as if he hadn't reacted, the tricycle hit Li Bei's car straight.
The people on the side of the road were frightened by this situation, seeing that the three wheels were about to collide with Li Bei's car, Li Bei reacted and hurriedly braked, and the car stopped, and immediately it was "bang!" Seeing that the dilapidated three-wheeled front wheel had been bent, the whole car could no longer be ridden, and the old man who was riding the bicycle and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy carrying the back of the tricycle were also thrown out and fell to the ground on the side.
Seeing this, the crowd around them began to gather and surround themselves.
"What's going on? Did the driver of the car hit the three-wheeled one? Someone hadn't seen it before, so he whispered to the person next to him.
"No, what I just saw seemed to be a three-wheeled car that suddenly lost control and crashed into an Audi, this time I guess the old man is going to be unlucky." The man next to him said with a sigh.
At this time, the young man who was thrown to the ground also slowly got up, and hurriedly ran to the side of the uncle to help him up. It's a car! The car that I have never sat in in my life actually let myself be hit, what should I do! Uncle was so anxious that his eyes were a little red.
At this time, most of the people around saw that the uncle was fine, and most of them were relieved.
"It's okay, but it's better to be injured, you see that the front of the Audi car has been hit into a big dent, it is estimated that the repair cost will be a lot, the responsibility for this accident is obviously all on the tricycle side, if you are injured, you can also tear off the skin with the other party, this time it seems that it is not easy to do." Someone sighed.
Hearing this, the others also looked at the old man and the young man sympathetically.
Looking at their clothes, you can know that the conditions of their family will definitely not be very good, and the weak will always be sympathized, but the responsibility for the accident is not on the side of the Audi owner, and this time it makes no sense for others to want to help them.
Li Bei and Lin Xue, who were sitting in the car, were also stunned at this time, they didn't expect this to happen on the way back to school.
Seeing the crowd gathered around him, Li Bei's face was a little solemn, and he said to Lin Xue next to him: "You just sit in the car and don't move, I'll go down and see the situation." ”
Lin Xue nodded and looked at him with some concern.
When Li Bei saw her like this, a smile appeared on his face: "It's okay, don't worry." Just stay in the car. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Lin Xue to reply, he opened the car door and got out of the car.
The uncle and the young man saw the owner of the car get out of the car, the two came over, and the uncle said with a little trembling: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, we didn't mean it, we will pay for how much your car breaks." As he spoke, he took out a large handful of change from one of the pockets of his clothes, and at a glance, most of them were two pieces in pieces, occasionally mixed with these five and ten pieces of change.
Hearing what the uncle said, Li Bei also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he is not the kind of person who touches porcelain and is completely unreasonable, and things are quite easy to handle.
He had heard that there was a gang doing this on the road, and after the owner got out of the car, a group of people immediately surrounded him to ask for compensation, and he was really going to run into those scoundrels, and now he was alone with his bare hands, plus there was a Lin Xue in the car, so it was really difficult to do.
Looking at the shabby-dressed uncle and the young man, the hail in the sky hit the two of them, covering their hair with a misty hoarfrost, the dilapidated and rusty three-wheeled ones drooped aside, and there were some freshly picked oranges scattered in the rear compartment, just because of the previous collision, many oranges were shaken out and rolled to the ground, no one cared.
As for the handful of change handed over by the uncle, Li Bei didn't take it, but said in a somewhat gentle tone: "Uncle, what happened to you just now, did the tricycle fail or what's the matter?" ”
The uncle was a little embarrassed when he heard Li Bei's words at this time, and he didn't know how to answer.
The young man in a shabby school uniform who was supporting him next to him was a little cowering, but then he suddenly mustered up the courage to say: "This brother is sorry, my family is poor, my father guarded the boat by the river last night, and he can have twenty yuan a night." Today I went into the city with him to sell oranges picked from the trees, my dad kept a vigil all night last night, and today he was sleepy on the way home, and he hit your car without paying attention. We'll pay for the car repair, and if it's not enough, there are still these oranges, and I still have a lot of oranges in my house. The simple and sincere words of the young man said that the people around him were a little sad, the boat that kept watch all night could earn twenty yuan, and now how much should he pay for hitting someone's Audi? Two hundred, four hundred, or eight hundred? No one can say for sure, but everyone knows that today will be worse for this family.
Li Bei was a little silent when he heard this, looked at the damaged broken three-wheeler next to him, and after a pause, Li Bei took out his wallet from his pocket, took out five hundred yuan from it and handed it to the uncle: "I also have a little responsibility for this matter, I was still talking to my friends when I was about to hit it before, if I could react faster, maybe it would be fine, this money should be regarded as the money I paid you to repair the tricycle, you can accept it." ”
The uncle took the money a little stunned, and seemed to be still immersed in what Li Bei had just said, looking a little incredulous.
When the surrounding crowd saw that the matter had been solved in this way, they immediately applauded!
Some of the onlookers were ready to call on everyone to donate a little money to the father and son if the Audi owner proposed compensation, but they didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so reasonable, not only did he not blame the old father's mistake for the loss caused to him, but even posted hundreds of dollars to repair the damaged tricycle for the other party! Such a move made them feel admired from the bottom of their hearts.
"Then the boy did a really good job!" An old man watching from the side said.
"Yes, if the father and son meet those who have no sympathy today, it is estimated that they will not stop without peeling off a layer of skin, and the ending will not be like this."
"But the father and son are not bad, they didn't shirk their responsibilities at all after making mistakes, and they were willing to stand up and lose money when they were poor like that."
Someone in the crowd who kept holding a DV and filmed what happened also sighed: "They are all good people!" ”
At this time, Lin Xue had already come out of the car at some point, and looked at Li Bei with a shallow smile on her face.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Li Bei didn't want to stay longer, looked at Lin Xue who didn't know when to get out of the car, glared at her a little resentfully, and then motioned for her to get in the car.
After returning to the car, Li Bei quickly started the car and left the scene, leaving only some after-dinner conversation for a group of onlookers at the scene.
