"Within our ability," Zhang Pei finally came back to his senses and regained his senses. Thinking of what Lawyer Sun taught her before, he said, "As long as it is reasonable, we can negotiate. I have 100,000 yuan here. I'll give you an emergency first, after all, the three children have to study and eat," she put the money on the table.
Seeing the money, the Wang family calmed down, and they stopped crying or screaming, and Mrs. Wang took the money to her side vigorously. She glanced at her youngest son and signaled something with her eyes. It should have been discussed before coming. Mrs. Wang said,
"What is this enough money? Is my son's life worth 100,000 yuan? I heard that the man in your family is an official. If he goes to jail, he will lose his cap. Your daughter is studying piano at the Capital Conservatory of Music. Tuition fees are very expensive, your family has a house and a car in the capital, so you must not be short of money," said Mrs. Wang with a greedy look in her eyes, raised her right hand, and stretched out three fingers, "Three million is our minimum requirement. "
"How could we have so much money?" Zhang Pei was dumbfounded.
Attorney Sun frowned.
The Wang family has already found out the details of their family. They know Liu Chengyu's workplace, their home address, and the school Liu Man attended.
The Wang family came to the capital for a few days, how could it be possible to collect this information in such a short period of time
After thinking about it, Lawyer Sun looked at the lawyer named Zhao Feng, who actually smiled at him.
After the accident, Zhang Pei took a special inventory of the family's property. She and her husband had only three hundred thousand yuan in savings. Even if they sold the car, they could exchange it for two hundred thousand yuan, but that's not a million dollars. Liu Man spends money lavishly, buying whatever he wants, and the couple can't save money at all. Zhang Pei also regrets now that he should not have been used to Liu Man before, and he doesn't know where the money went when he ran out of money.
"Your house is in the city center, right?" Wang Zhihua is also a university student in the capital and knows the housing prices in the capital very well. "If you sell the house, you will get rich."
Zhang Pei definitely disagreed, "The house is sold, where do we live?"
"That's your business. My brother is so young. His life could have been very long. He still has three children waiting to be fed. How do you think this account will be settled? One million is not much for a child," Wang Zhihua asked .
The greedy look of the Wang family angered Zhang Pei, "Don't even think about it, we will never agree."
Zhang Pei grabbed Liu Man's hand and said to Lawyer Sun, "Don't talk, don't talk, let's go."
After finishing speaking, he walked out without looking back, and Liu Man was dragged out by her. Before leaving the box, she turned her head and saw the lawyer named Zhao Feng, who had a confident smile on his face.
The first negotiation broke up unhappy.
As soon as he left the sight of the Wang family, Zhang Pei couldn't help but said angrily, "They are like lions, three million. Is their son worth three million?"
Zhang Pei was also so angry that he spoke harshly.
Lawyer Sun said, "Even if Wang Chunhua isn't worth it, Cheng Yu is worth it."
His words poured down like a bucket of cold water.
Due to the strong protection of Liu Chengyu's immediate boss, although Liu Chengyu was arrested, he has not yet been fired from his work unit. The dinner on the night of the accident was hosted by his leader, and Liu Chengyu blocked the drink for the leader.
Now his leader is using his connections to suppress the matter, but if the Wang family goes to his unit to make trouble, or makes trouble on the Internet, the matter cannot be undone.
This is what Sun Yiyi was worried about. He said to Zhang Pei, "Their lawyers are not easy to deal with. Nowadays, young people have more ideas. If he can encourage the Wang family to ask for three million, he must be sure. Backhand."
After Lawyer Sun made such an analysis, Zhang Pei was at a loss and frightened, "What's behind?"
"The courier was killed by an official drunk driving, and the other party's officials oppressed him, and the courier's family had nowhere to redress their grievances," Lawyer Sun said. "They just ask the water army to write similar news headlines on the Internet, and Chengyu is finished."
Hearing this, Liu Man frowned tightly.
Spreading biased news, taking advantage of the public's sympathy for the weak, and inciting their emotions have worked since ancient times. The neighbors of Liu Man's cold palace are all vicious women in the eyes of others, but if they She was really as vicious as the rumors said, why would she become a loser and be trapped in the harem for a lifetime.
"Then what should we do?" Zhang Pei looked at Lawyer Sun helplessly, "We can only take out 500,000 cash at most, and we can't really sell the house."
"I'll go to the procuratorate and the court again." Sun Yiyi felt that the matter was very difficult. Liu Chengyu's identity was too sensitive. Civil servants, drunk driving, the death of the other party, and poor families, all these sensitive points were added together, and he couldn't justify it. Cleared up.
It has only been five or six years since Liu Man's family moved into this community. The community is affordable housing. Liu Man's house has a total of 140 square meters. The purchase price was very low back then. Otherwise, Liu Chengyu's salary would not be able to afford such a large house in this area.
Zhang Pei never agreed to sell the house.
The next day, Zhang Pei and Liu Man went to a pawn shop. Zhang Pei brought all her jewelry, including the wedding ring Liu Chengyu gave her when she got married. The staff of the pawn shop estimated the value of each item. Zhang Pei’s jewelry was neither too much nor too little, a few diamond rings, a few gold necklaces, a few gold bracelets, a few pairs of earrings, and a few pieces of emeralds. Everything was in order. placed in front of Liu Man, and the quotations from the staff were in his ears.
"The gold here is 70% of the market price, and the jade is half the price. If you agree, we can sign the contract directly."
"Is it only half price for jade? This is jadeite, and this is real Hetian jade. It was very expensive when you bought it."
"Sorry ma'am, the jade market fluctuates a lot. Our company can't bear the corresponding losses. To be on the safe side, we pay half the price," said the staff member indifferently, with a businesslike look.
Liu Man saw Zhang Pei looking at the jewelry with a slightly reluctant look. Everything was given to her by Liu Chengyu on her wedding anniversary and her birthday.
Zhang Pei took a deep breath and said with determination, "I agree."
Liu Man felt very sad and distressed. She thought of Mrs. Xu's illness and the last few months when she was dying. Mrs. Xu kept selling her few jewelry left, begging those palace people to treat her well. She remembered Mrs. Xu's loving and distressed eyes, and she gently touched her head, "What should you do after I leave, I just hope that these palace people can be a little grateful for taking my things." But Facts have proved that the palace people have no conscience at all.
At this moment, Zhang Pei's figure merged with Mrs. Xu, and the corners of Liu Man's eyes were sour. She didn't know whether it was the love Liu Man had left for her mother in her body, or her own longing for Mrs. Xu.
In the end, all the jewelry was only sold for 140,000 yuan, which is still far from the three million yuan.
