Chapter 24 Seeking Justice (3)
Uncle Qi and the others were in a bit of a dilemma, but Luo Ning's request wasn't unreasonable...
"Luoning, you little whore, are you crazy?!" Old Mrs. Xie, having regained her senses, jumped up and down again.
Luo Ning smiled and said, "Seventh Uncle, Eldest Uncle, Third Uncle, you all saw it, right? This attitude... Let's handle this matter officially!"
"Good!" A passionate male voice came from outside, sounding somewhat familiar.
Before long, Luo Ning saw Liu Chunsheng push through the crowd and walk in, carrying a bag in his hand.
"Big cousin, what brings you here?" Luo Ning straightened his back even more when he saw his family.
Liu Chunsheng handed the bag in his hand to Luo Ning, "These are the medical diagnoses and injury reports for my aunt's husband and Xiao Jing!"
"You really are my cousin!" Luo Ning took the bag, squeezed it, and secretly gave a thumbs-up to her amazing cousin. "With this, I can go to the city, to Shanghai, to Beijing! Plus this—"
As if by magic, Luo Ning produced a tape recorder and pressed the button, bringing everyone's ears to the entire argument between Grandma Xie and Liu Aihong...
She had long known that the Xie family wouldn't stay quiet, so she made preparations when she returned to her parents' home. However, she didn't expect to obtain the evidence so quickly.
Old Lady Xie's arrogant demeanor vanished instantly, and she huddled into a ball, while the others were so frightened that their legs went weak.
Everyone clicked their tongues in disbelief; the Xie family was finished now.
"Luoning, we're all family, let's not go through official business!" Xie Yaolin said, trembling.
“What happened yesterday was our fault. I promise it will never happen again. Your mother and I are both so old…”
"Dad, it's not that I don't want to let you go, it's that you won't let my parents go!" Luo Ning said pitifully, tears streaming down her face.
Do you know what my family's situation is like now because of me? We're destitute, penniless, and we don't know where our next meal will come from. Even the mice that come to our house leave with tears in their eyes.
My father was the only breadwinner in my family, and now that he's fallen ill, it's a devastating blow to our impoverished family!
And my sister, she was so traumatized, she was only 16, the prime of her life, and you all drove her to suicide..."
Liu Chunsheng almost suffered internal injuries from suppressing his laughter; Luo Ning's analogy was just too funny.
Those watching the spectacle nodded in agreement. The village chief's family had originally been one of the more well-off families in the village. Luo Ning and Xie Chang'an had a hasty marriage, and within a month, their entire fortune had been emptied. They were still not satisfied and had to borrow money and grain from all over the place.
The village chief is sick, Luo Jing is dying, and Liu Aihong fainted yesterday.
Alas, how pitiful! Everyone felt immense sympathy for the Luo family's plight, and even Xie Changle suddenly felt that the Xie family were truly inhuman!
"Luoning, why don't you think about it again?" Uncle Qi tried to smooth things over when he saw Xie Yaolin's proper attitude.
Luo Ning looked troubled, as if she had made a huge decision. "For the sake of Uncle Qi, I will reluctantly accept the Xie family's compensation of 400 yuan. After all, my father and sister are in the hospital. The hospitalization fees, nursing fees, medical expenses, lost wages, compensation for mental distress, nutrition fees and other miscellaneous expenses add up. 400 yuan is not enough to cover them at all."
Hospitals are places where money is burned; no amount of money is ever enough. Moreover, with two members of the Luo family needing treatment, Uncle Qi and the onlookers thought 400 yuan was really not much.
"In addition, Old Lady Xie must write a guarantee to my family, promising that she will never again coerce or forcibly seize our property!"
An eye for an eye, or acting in the public interest, are not Luo Ning's goals.
Her real purpose was to provide compensation and write a guarantee! In the presence of the clan chief and clan members, she wanted to prevent such a thing from happening again once and for all.
"Why don't you just rob it!" Old Mrs. Xie said resolutely, as if her flesh had been cut out.
"Let's do it through the proper channels then, it'll be more convenient for everyone!" Luo Ning said, and walked away.
"No, fourth brother's wife, we'll pay for it. Go get the money, old man!" Xie Yaolin hurriedly called out to Luo Ning, almost losing his temper.
Once the matter is settled, the old woman, the second son, and the eldest son's wife will all be imprisoned, their family will fall apart, and they will no longer be able to stand on their own two feet in the village.
His words received a unanimous response from the Xie family. They didn't want to go to jail or die. 400 yuan could solve the problem and save the whole family, so why hesitate?
Luo Ning and his clansmen were eyeing him covetously, and his family members had turned against him. Although Old Lady Xie was reluctant to part with the money, she also did not want to go to jail.
Therefore, Luo Ning successfully obtained 400 yuan, and after the guarantee she wrote was read and circulated among the three of Uncle Qi, Grandma Xie put her fingerprint on it.
The thoughtful service throughout not only gave the clan leader and others face, but also solved the major problem of Old Lady Xie being illiterate.
After pressing her fingerprint, Old Lady Xie was still pondering. She planned to wait a while before going to find that little harlot Luo Ning and get her money back.
400 yuan—that's basically all her savings; she absolutely cannot let it fall into the hands of that little whore Luo Ning.
Luo Ning saw through Old Madam Xie's thoughts at a glance. "If you want your compensation back or want my family to support you again, then I won't bother Uncle Qi and the other uncles in the clan. I'll just go to the city and file a complaint. This handprint is sure to win every time."
No two leaves are exactly alike, and no two handprints are exactly alike. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, the police will find you, arrest you, and put you in jail for life. The recordings of you, my mother, and my sister, and the hospital certificates, are irrefutable evidence!
“Yes, we compare handprints and footprints when handling cases!” Liu Chunsheng nodded seriously.
My goodness, he doesn't even know such professional knowledge, how could Luo Ning know?
Seventh Uncle stroked his beard; this Luo Ning was no ordinary person.
After sending Seventh Uncle home, Luo Ning returned to his own home.
Liu Chunsheng's eyes gleamed, and he followed like a shadow.
"Thank you so much for your help today, cousin. This is a reward for you!" Luo Ning stuffed a can of beef jerky into Liu Chunsheng's hand and scooped out some flour to make dumplings.
Today, thanks to her seventh uncle and his two brothers, she was able to pack a few extra portions and send one to their family.
The beef jerky was taken out of Luo Ning's spatial storage; she didn't have the time to make it herself.
My cousin is a genius. He managed to fool Grandma Xie's family by using old newspapers as a medical report. With his cleverness and his grateful help from his older cousin, his future is limitless.
Liu Chunsheng's eyes lit up. Luo Ning was so considerate. He unscrewed the cap, grabbed a piece with his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Once you start eating, you can't stop! "Mmm, this is so delicious! Luo Ning, you should have some too!"
"I'm not eating, I'm busy making dumplings!" Luo Ning shook her head with a smile.
"Cousin, why don't you stay for dinner?"
"Okay, okay, this is good!" Liu Chunsheng was a little hungry and nodded repeatedly.
As Luo Ning finished wrapping the dumplings and started cooking them, her gaze swept over Liu Chunsheng, who was tending the fire in front of the stove, and she suddenly thought of Xie Chang'an.
Yesterday morning, he was sitting there helping her light the fire while she cooked dumplings...
In just one day, the Luo family had essentially severed ties with the Xie family.
I wonder if Xie Chang'an would blame her if he knew.
She won't change even if you blame her. If you're so capable, come and hit her!
After delivering dumplings to the three families of Uncle Qi, Luo Ning and Liu Chunsheng enjoyed a delicious meal of sauerkraut dumplings.
Liu Chunsheng rolled around on the floor, declaring that he would come over for meals every day from now on. He then went home groaning and groaning, clutching his stomach which was about to burst.
When the old lady in the family heard about her aunt's family from her father and second uncle, she insisted on coming over herself, fearing that Luo Ning would be bullied if she was alone at home.
It was freezing cold and difficult to walk in this snowy landscape. My mother and second aunt finally managed to persuade the old lady to send out this cunning strategist.
Luo Ning was a troublemaker in the past, and he didn't like her at all.
After getting married, she completely changed; she became incredibly powerful.
Luo Ning locked the door, slung his basket over his shoulder, and headed out to try his luck on the mountain, hoping to encounter a ginseng spirit.
She didn't rely on the town's medical facilities; she had to treat her father's illness herself.
In his previous life, Luoning was renowned for its medicinal wine, a skill so exquisite it was priceless.
Now, she can use her skills in making medicinal liquor to serve her family!
For my father's illness, acupuncture and medicinal wine should be used together for better results.
Luo Jing caught a cold and needed to drink some medicinal wine to promote blood circulation and warm her uterus, as well as take a medicinal bath, in order to fully recover.
Both she and her mother need to take good care of their health.
The original owner was dirty and lazy, and she had some minor health problems. Liu Aihong suffered from long-term malnutrition, and had even more minor health problems.
As Luo Ning went up the mountain, a figure quietly followed behind him.
