Chapter 239 The power of public opinion
His abandonment of his uncle was a shameful act in itself, so naturally the fewer people who knew about it the better.
But now, Wei Shuqing's actions were as fierce as a tiger, making this matter known to everyone.
If this were to get out, what would the Wang family's reputation be? What would his sister Wang Hong's in-laws think?
Wang Dong's expression suddenly changed: "Boss Wei, we are willing to support my uncle. We will withdraw the lawsuit."
Ruan Xiuyun was not stupid either, and she realized what Wei Shuqing was going to do.
She also immediately stated: "We are withdrawing the lawsuit, we are willing to withdraw it!"
"Are you willing to withdraw the lawsuit?" Wei Shuqing curled her lips slightly. "It's too late."
Why didn't you do that earlier? Seeing that you are about to be embarrassed, you decide to remedy the situation. It's really interesting.
She stood up, opened the door and greeted these people warmly.
"Hello, I am Wang Jin's mother. I have been entrusted by Wang Jin to discuss the issue of Qi Zhijun's support."
In the streets, the issue of supporting the elderly is very important.
The respected elders who came this time were also very concerned about this matter. After all, it involved their own interests.
The director of the subdistrict office was a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, let's sit down and have a good chat. There is always a solution to everything."
It was still the familiar opening remarks. Street Office Director Liu Yutian put the teacup on the table and started his familiar work process again.
But this time it doesn't seem to be his home court.
Because Wei Shuqing smiled and spoke first: "The neighbors should know more about Wang Dong and Wang Hong's affairs than I do. After all, I live far away and have had no contact with Qi Zhijun in recent years, so I am not familiar with the situation here."
As soon as she finished speaking, the white-haired lady beside her immediately responded, "Okay, I understand, sister. After you and Qi Zhijun divorced, Qi Zhijun didn't pay much attention to you and the child. Now you come to ask for support for the child?"
"That's right, how can this be possible?! Qi Zhijun has been repairing shoes and doing odd jobs for years, and all the money he saved was used to pay for Wang Hong's schooling. Now that he's sick, the Wang siblings want to kick him out. How can this be possible?"
"Wang Hong and Wang Dong should take care of you in your old age. Brother Qi, don't worry. We are all here today and we will definitely not let you suffer any loss!"
This group of uncles and aunts were very helpful. They talked to each other and made Wang Dong's face turn green.
They are so supportive because, on the one hand, they are old and care about their retirement. They hate ungrateful people who not only support the elderly, but also because it is Mr. Wei who is paying for it.
……
This group of uncles and aunts, one after another, clearly stated Qi Zhijun's contributions to Wang Dong and Wang Hong over the years, occasionally accusing Wang Dong and Wang Hong, and even worse, they even despised Qi Zhifang.
It's 500 yuan in real money, they have to let the boss know about it.
"Our family is in financial difficulty..."
Seeing that the situation was not right, Ruan Xiuyun started to play her three-piece set of misery again...
But these old men and women didn't give her a chance.
A kind-looking auntie smiled gently: "Your child is not from Mr. Wang's family. It's good enough that their family is raising you. Stop using your child as an excuse."
Ruan Xiuyun: ...
Today, she has fully experienced what it means that experience brings wisdom.
These old men and women are all harsh and merciless in their words.
Wei Shuqing is really good at using public opinion.
After hearing what these uncles and aunts said, Wei Shuqing could hardly hide the smile on her face.
She couldn't help but sigh that the money was well spent. It was much more worthwhile than using it to hire someone to take care of King Qi.
"I never thought, Lao Qi, that you've been so devoted to your nephew and niece over the years. You practically treat them like your own children!"
"I……"
He didn't care about his own son at all, but he paid for his niece to go to college.
The King of Qi was half a head shorter than Wei Shuqing and her son.
Now that things have come to this, the director of the street office has to speak up, otherwise it will seem like their street office is doing nothing.
"Wang Dong, according to the neighbors, your uncle treated you very well and even fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. Do you agree with this?"
He used to be a policeman, and this was perfectly reflected in his conversations with people.
Wang Dong nodded: "I admit that my uncle is very good to us."
Although the King of Qi may not be a good person, he was irresponsible to his wife and children, was credulous, and had committed crimes.
But to Wang Hong and Wang Dong, he is really a good uncle.
A bag of candy I brought back from a wedding when I was a child, two dollars I secretly put into my pocket, and all the income I saved from repairing shoes when I grew up.
The King of Qi was extremely benevolent and righteous.
He couldn't argue with his uncle's efforts.
"Then you should bear part of the responsibility for the elderly care."
Although there is no such provision in the law, legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. Logically and emotionally, Wang Dong and Wang Hong should provide for Qi Zhijun's retirement.
"As for the other part..."
Liu Yutian looked at Wei Shuqing, his meaning was self-evident.
In public, Wei Shuqing was willing to help Niu Niu establish a good image: "Niu Niu said that no matter what, this is still his father. He is willing to pay 500 yuan per month for the living expenses of Qi Zhijun."
What this means is that they pay the money and Wang Dong and Wang Hong do the work.
Five hundred yuan is not too much, but not too little either.
He had just enough money to cover the King of Qi's food, clothing, housing, transportation and medicine, with almost no money left over.
She looked at Ruan Xiuyun leisurely. "Wang Dong and his wife, didn't they say that their family is in financial difficulty? We are the financial support, so we will have to trouble Wang Dong and his wife to take care of them."
Wang Dong knew that this was the best ending.
He nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, we will take good care of your uncle."
"I'll pass it on to my son."
Wei Shuqing's eyes were cold. She had no relationship with Qi Zhijun anymore. She appeared here only for her son.
The King of Qi naturally also felt her coldness, and now she was no longer affected at all.
Wei Shuqing was the moon in the sky, and he has become the mud on the soles of shoes.
He didn't dare to hope to have even the slightest contact with Wei Shuqing.
only……
"Xiao Wei, thank you."
No matter what Wei Shuqing's purpose was today, the group of old men and women she invited were eyeing the community covetously. Wang Dong and Wang Hong would probably never dare to let her leave again.
He should have a good old age.
Wei Shuqing just sneered. She didn't care about Qi Zhijun's gratitude at all.
He turned and left, the car sped away, leaving behind a trail of exhaust fumes.
Wang Dong and Wang Hong's choice still brought about a series of serious consequences.
