Chapter 385: The Past (Medium)
Afterwards, Chu Chengye told Wu Xiuying that as soon as he opened his eyes, people turned on their backs, everyone was lying on the ground wailing, there was blood everywhere, and he didn't know how many people died. Chu Chengye's brain was blank, he only felt that everything was over, he was dead, and there was a cliff not far from him, and he wanted to jump down when he rushed over.
Fortunately, Chu Yuanqing grabbed him and told him that now was not the time to think about life or death, and that he should send people to the hospital for emergency treatment first. Chu Chengye's mind turned a corner, and he ran to call the police for help, and went to work hard, forcing himself not to think about anything else.
Since that day, Chu Yulan has never seen Chu Chengye again, and she didn't see Chu Chengye again until the winter vacation of her freshman year and when she returned home for the New Year.
She didn't remember who was the one who pulled the line and let her know Liao Defeng, but she only remembered that Wu Xiuying knelt and begged her, begging her to marry the Liao family, finish her college well, and begged her to save Chu Chengye. In fact, even if Wu Xiuying didn't ask her, she would agree, it was her father, how could she not save her when she died, but Wu Xiuying's actions still hurt her.
Because Chu Chengye was driving without a license, after the car accident, the court ruled that Chu Chengye was fully responsible, which means that he must not only bear civil liability, but also bear the corresponding criminal liability. If it weren't for Chu Chengye's active treatment at the time of the car accident, and civil compensation for the injured and the deceased afterwards, he might really need to go to jail, and the sentence is three years.
The villagers generally have nothing to do and rarely go to court, and even if there is really something, they will choose to solve it privately, which is the so-called private. There are not no people who know how to find a lawyer in a lawsuit, but there are very few, Liao Huarong is one of them, after Ma Yulin's death, she found a lawyer from the provincial capital.
Through the lawyer's calculations, Chu Chengye was finally required to compensate more than one million dollars, Feng Dongmei had no backstage, but she chose to stand with Liao Huarong very smartly.
There are more than one million, ordinary villagers have never heard of so much money, even Wu Xiuying, who has a little money, is an astronomical amount. In those days, Wu Xiuying was stronger than ever, getting up early and greedy for darkness, running between the county seat and home every day, just to rescue Chu Chengye from the sea of suffering as soon as possible.
At that time, there was no formal "Traffic Law", and Chu Yulan remembered that after consulting professionals, Wu Xiuying's opinion was that if there was no money, there was no need to compensate for civil liability, and only criminal liability was required.
In other words, as long as Chu Chengye can get out and squat in prison for three years, he can not pay money to the deceased. Even if you do go to prison, you don't necessarily need to sit for three years, you only need to sit for one or two years, and then apply for a parole to get out of prison.
According to Wu Xiuying, the policies and regulations of that year were that if you admit beating, you will not be punished, and if you admit punishment, you will not be beaten, unlike later generations, which had sound laws, people-oriented, and even beatings and punishments.
It's a pity that Chu Chengye didn't agree to do this for three reasons.
The first reason is that his conscience is disturbed.
Chu Chengye is kind in his bones, and he feels guilty that because of his own reasons, he caused the other party to die. The deceased, like him, were all villagers in the same village, and they were also the pillars of the family, with old people, children, and wives in the family.
He really couldn't watch the old and weak women and children helpless, and there was no guarantee for his future life, even after losing money, he felt that he had no face to see the family of the deceased.
The fact is also the same, for a long time after that, Chu Chengye did see these two families, so he stayed away. And these two families didn't see Chu Chengye once, so they beat and scolded them, and even smashed Chu Chengye's house to pieces once.
