Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: An Incredibly Grim Expression

Just as she was about to say something, she heard her second aunt say: "If it weren’t for someone else saving him, he’d already be dead. I won’t ask for more, just two hundred yuan in compensation, and I won’t pursue this matter any further."

Lyu Juncheng heard this and his face turned cold immediately: "Second Aunt, Xiangyang is still just a child. Our two families are real relatives. We’ve already covered the hospital fees and nutrition costs to replenish the body, as well as compensation for my cousin and cousin-in-law’s lost work. Isn’t asking for more compensation a bit inappropriate?"

Yao Hui’s second aunt didn’t care about what he said: "Your Xiangyang pushed your ex-wife, and when she split up with you, she demanded compensation too. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for having a son and not raising him well."

Lyu Juncheng’s face turned as red as a piece of liver, and he said through gritted teeth: "Second Aunt, what’s past is past. It’s been a long time since then. What’s the point of bringing it up now?"

Yao Hui’s second aunt let out a cold ’hmpf’: "You can do it, but won’t let people talk about it. If you all had looked after your own kids, I wouldn’t have to tell you all this."

Both Lyu Juncheng and Yao Hui knew the situation at home, and it seemed that the second aunt definitely wouldn’t let it go without compensation. After exchanging a glance, the two of them immediately turned their heads away.

Yao Hui knew that she probably had to handle this herself: "Second Aunt, you know our family’s situation, we really can’t come up with that much money.

We’ll first cover the hospital fees, and we’ll send over the nutritional supplements for Shiyun as soon as possible. As for the rest, we’ll find a way, but please give us a few more days.

Yao Hui’s second aunt feared that after today, they might go back on their word: "That’s not acceptable. How do I know if you’ll keep your word? I’m too old to make another trip."

Yao Hui was cornered by the second aunt, and her face was extremely unpleasant.

It was only after a leader from the Mechanical Factory intervened to mediate that the compensation was set at one hundred yuan, and Lyu Juncheng was told to quickly find a way to gather it and send it to the Song Family, that the matter was resolved.

When Xinyan saw He Jinxuan, his hands were full of things.

She quickly walked over to greet him: "Why did you bring so many things?"

He Jinxuan smiled: "Didn’t you say before that you wanted to eat braised bamboo shoots? So I asked someone to bring back quite a bit, just to share."

Actually, she had a small patch of bamboo planted on the slope in her space, so it wasn’t like she didn’t have bamboo shoots to eat. She just casually mentioned she wanted to eat braised bamboo shoots, and he actually asked someone to bring back fresh ones.

With his care, Xinyan naturally wouldn’t refuse, and she said with a smile: "Looks like I’m in for a tasty treat tonight."

He Jinxuan’s face was full of smiles: "There’s also some dried bamboo shoots in that bag, which can be stored for a longer time. You can use them to satisfy your cravings when you want to eat some. And when I drive south again, I’ll bring you more fresh bamboo shoots."

Being thought of by someone really feels nice, so she responded with a smile: "Just bring some back every now and then to satisfy the craving, there’s no need to go through the trouble every time."

He Jinxuan’s eyes were full of warmth: "There’s no shortage of these down south, it’s no trouble at all. Just enjoy them."

In the evening, Sister Chen put her cooking skills to use, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal, even the pregnant Gu Wanqing ate half a bowl more.

To avoid indigestion: "Jingchen, accompany me for a walk to digest."

She directly took him away.

Xinyan and He Jinxuan helped Sister Chen clean up the dishes and bowls, cleared the table, and only then did they sit down and start talking.

He Jinxuan pointed to the other two bags: "Yanyan, those two bags are full of specialties from the South and Beijing. They’ll be perfect for gift-giving later."

Xinyan looked at the two big bags: "Isn’t that a bit too much?"
