Chapter 214 Compensation of 2
Ma Baoxin sought out Long Xinyu for two reasons: first, Long Xinyu's husband worked in the traffic police; and second, Long Xinyu was skilled at handling such disputes.
To Long Xinyu's surprise, Deng Xiuzhen, who seemed like an ordinary woman and couldn't even drive, was surprisingly knowledgeable about traffic regulations and spoke with impeccable manners.
Fortunately, they didn't throw tantrums or argue, and they weren't greedy; their demands were all within reasonable limits.
The final agreement reached was that Ma Baoxin would bear all costs (the costs, as initially determined by the hospital, include this expense and the cost of removing the steel plate later). Another point of contention is the potential impact on Wenxin's later development, such as possible intellectual impairment.
The total compensation is 200,000 yuan.
Both parties signed their names and pressed their fingerprints. Ma Baoxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Two hundred thousand yuan had ripped him off and severely damaged his family's finances.
But I've wasted so much time staying at the hospital these past few days. And judging from the girl's condition, her mind is sometimes clear and sometimes confused, and her memory is a complete mess. I'm afraid half of her life is ruined.
Paying 200,000 yuan is far better than bearing the burden of a disabled person's life. At least the psychological pressure is less.
Long Xinyu was quite satisfied, as she had successfully resolved another dispute and facilitated a reconciliation between the two parties.
Deng Xiuzhen appeared calm, but inwardly she breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was difficult to handle, and the degree of control was hard to grasp!
She didn't want to suffer a loss, but she also couldn't offend Long Xinyu. What if Wenxin still ended up marrying Long Xiaobin in this life? She couldn't afford to make a bad impression.
Sigh, I don't know if Wenxin's situation is any good. What if it continues like this...?
Sigh, if she doesn't recover, I'll take better care of her and give her a larger share of the family property.
When Deng Xiuzhen returned to the ward, Wenxin was asleep, and Wenjing was sitting next to her, flipping through a book.
"Mom, how did the negotiation go?" Wenjing asked softly.
"Including medical expenses, the other party compensated me 200,000 yuan, and the money has already been transferred to my bank card. I don't know if it's enough," Deng Xiuzhen sighed.
"Mom!" Wenxin opened her eyes and saw Deng Xiuzhen, calling out instinctively.
Deng Xiuzhen turned around and saw Wenxin, who looked somewhat bewildered. Her heart softened. She gently took Wenxin's hand and asked, "Are you feeling better? Does it still hurt?"
"I want to go home! I don't want to stay here anymore!" Wenxin said, pouting.
"Why do you suddenly want to go home? Are you feeling unwell?" Deng Xiuzhen asked, looking her up and down. Finding nothing wrong, she turned to look at Wenjing, who was standing guard beside her.
"I don't know either. She was perfectly fine just now. The doctor came by and didn't say there was anything wrong," Wenjing quickly replied.
"I don't want to stay here. I have to get injections every day. Look, my hands are all bruised! I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to go home! I just want to go home!" Wenxin shouted like a child.
"You can't move right now, you need to rest properly, be good," Deng Xiuzhen coaxed softly.
"No! I want to go home!" Wenxin stubbornly refused to budge. In her desperation, her eyes reddened.
This situation made Deng Xiuzhen even more convinced that Wenxin had suffered a brain injury from the impact; otherwise, given Wenxin's adeptness at reading people's expressions, she certainly wouldn't have made such a fuss with her.
The commotion got really bad, and Deng Xiuzhen was quite annoyed. She really wanted to teach Wenxin a lesson. But in the end, she couldn't bring herself to be harsh and just patiently coaxed her.
You can't be discharged from the hospital because of your condition; it will affect your future!
Wenxin, listen to the doctor so you can recover quickly.
……
But Qin Wenxin seemed like a completely different person; she was both confused and stubborn, and quite troublesome.
In the end, the doctor was so exasperated that after repeatedly explaining various precautions, he discharged Qin Wenxin from the hospital.
These events made Ma Baoxin, who later came to inquire about the situation, secretly rejoice: Luckily, it was settled, otherwise 20 yuan would definitely not be enough.
Deng Xiuzhen took Wenxin home with a headache, sighing inwardly at Wenxin's condition.
Who knew that as soon as Wenxin got home, she slept soundly and sweetly.
After waking up, he called Deng Xiuzhen to his side and learned that Wenjing and Wenyu had gone to school. Then he whispered to Deng Xiuzhen, "Mom, take the money to pay for Dad's medical treatment."
"What did you say?" Deng Xiuzhen didn't react at first.
“Didn’t the other party pay 200,000 yuan in compensation? Use the remaining money to treat Dad’s illness.” Wenxin explained in more detail to make sure Deng Xiuzhen understood.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't speak, but looked at Wenxin suspiciously.
"Mom?" Wenxin felt a little uneasy under Deng Xiuzhen's gaze and didn't dare to say anything, afraid that she would say the wrong thing and let Deng Xiuzhen see through her little scheme.
"Are you out of your mind?" Deng Xiuzhen asked after a long pause.
"I just feel dizzy and have poor memory, but no other problems."
Why are you making a fuss about going home?
"Lying in the hospital is just so-so. Recovery depends on rest and recuperation, and more importantly, on my own body's healing. Rather than wasting money in the hospital, I'd rather go home to rest and save the money for Dad's treatment."
“Wenxin, this is your money. Your parents might not be able to come up with it if you use it. And it might not even cure your father.” Deng Xiuzhen was a little puzzled by Wenxin’s actions, but she was still very excited and gratified.
"Mom, what are you saying? You are my parents. Dad needs money for treatment, why should I take my money? Besides, I can't earn money myself. You raised me, where would I get my money? Mom, don't think so much, hurry up and get Dad treated! The doctor said that the earlier Dad's illness is treated systematically, the better he will recover. Don't delay Dad's treatment!" After saying so much, Wenxin felt like she had touched a sore spot and couldn't help but frown.
"You're making a fuss about coming back because you want your dad to get medical treatment?" Deng Xiuzhen asked as she poured water for Wenxin.
“Yes, I’m thinking about that. If I stay in the hospital, you won’t take Dad to see a doctor,” Wenxin replied awkwardly.
"Why did you wait until Wenjing and the others went to school before telling me about this?" Deng Xiuzhen was pleasantly surprised by Wenxin's thoughtfulness, but still had some doubts.
After all, there's an old saying: "It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature." Wenxin has always been selfish, how could she change so much and so quickly?
“Wenjing and Wenyu are straightforward and might let slip that our family is out of money. But Dad’s illness needs to be treated as soon as possible. I don’t have the ability to earn money, so I can only ask the other party to pay more so that I can use it to treat Dad.”
"Wenxin, you didn't let the car hit you yourself, did you?" Deng Xiuzhen immediately regretted asking the question: It was unlikely. Wenxin was afraid of pain and even more afraid of death. She wouldn't do something like staged an accident.
"Mom! I know you love me, I wouldn't do something so foolish! I was just lying in bed when I overheard the people in the next bed discussing compensation. It reminded me of when we were back in the countryside, that Qin Yanxiang had a concussion and demanded money from you..."
Wenxin's words stunned Deng Xiuzhen: This child is not good at learning good things, but she has a very strong ability to learn bad things!
And she's so cunning! I wonder who she took after.
Fortunately, she still cares about her family and is concerned about getting treatment for Qin Yanlin. She still has a conscience and hasn't gone astray.
With further guidance, they should be able to get back on the right track.
