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

Chapter 869: Chapter 869: Can’t You Use Your Brain?

Gu Hongrui stayed here for a day and finally reached an agreement on compensation before returning to the city.

Although the village wasn’t planning to extort money, it doesn’t lack smart people. This matter was eventually settled publicly because they were worried they couldn’t find anyone in the future, as those injured wouldn’t recover overnight.

If something unexpected happens later, they’ll definitely come looking for them.

And the grandfather of that tractor driver, Old Master Luo, also learned about Xinyan’s situation from Gu Yingying. He was thinking of thanking them in person in the city once his grandson, Luo Jishun, recovered.

The next afternoon, Gu Hongrui took the group back to the city.

When the father and daughter arrived home, Liang Yifang hurried to greet them: "What’s going on?"

Gu Hongrui glanced at his daughter: "We’ll talk about it later. Let’s first help Yingying change and freshen up."

Gu Yingying went straight into Liang Yifang’s arms: "Mom, I was scared to death; I almost didn’t get to see you guys again."

Liang Yifang couldn’t care about anything else: "Tell mom, what exactly happened, how did it happen?"

Gu Hongrui frowned: "Come on, let her change and freshen up first, prepare some meals for us, and we’ll discuss it after we eat."

Just the repair fees, medical costs, loss of work, and nutrition fees added up to three hundred, not counting any additional treatment costs if the two injured individuals face special situations later.

The situation there is manageable, but the most troublesome is the repair costs for our car, which is quite a significant amount. Combined, it’s likely difficult to get less than a thousand, eight hundred.

The main worry is if my cousin finds out; I wouldn’t know how to explain it.

The car was privately authorized for a personal task, and if nothing happened, it would be easy to explain, but now... afraid Wanqing might pursue accountability.

After dinner, Liang Yifang finally understood the specifics and wanted to scold Gu Yingying a few times. But she also knew that scolding her wouldn’t help, so she sent her to rest in her room.

Seeing her leave, she then looked at her husband: "Hongrui, what should we do about this?"

Gu Hongrui lit a cigarette: "How much money does the family have right now?"

Liang Yifang’s heart skipped a beat: "Why are you asking this?"

Gu Hongrui impatiently said: "With such a big incident, do you think you can hide it from Wanqing?"

Liang Yifang also knew this was a significant matter, but if they had to pay for it themselves, she wouldn’t be willing. After a long pause, she spoke: "Didn’t you mention choosing a location to build the factory before?"

Gu Hongrui didn’t understand his wife’s implication: "What does this have to do with building a factory?"

Liang Yifang thought he was being hopelessly stupid: "Can’t you use your brain a little?"

Gu Hongrui frowned and stared at Liang Yifang: "What do you mean?"

Liang Yifang got up and closed the door: "Just say that the accident occurred while scouting locations for the factory. Wanqing’s personality, she definitely won’t inquire further. Then the cost will go directly into the company’s account, won’t it?"

Gu Hongrui shook his head: "If the truth comes out, how am I supposed to face Wanqing?"

Liang Yifang was unhappy now: "How much money is there in the family, don’t you have an idea?"

This is not a small amount. If we pay for it, how are we going to live in the future?

Does it mean we have to scrimp and save? If someone finds out, how can I have the face to interact and socialize with those ladies?"

Seeing Gu Hongrui’s expression softening, Liang Yifang pressed further: "This money is nothing for the company, but for us, it really isn’t a small amount.

Moreover, the car is originally a company car. If something happens, the company naturally has to deal with the aftermath. Even if Wanqing knows eventually, she will surely understand."
