Chapter 176 - Mischief
The old lady had always known that her eldest daughter-in-law was formidable, so she didn't dare to refute her words.
Furthermore, she was responsible for Peng Family Yan's injury this time. It was only because He Mei Xin was unable to speak right now, so she could follow along with Family Head Li's words and place the blame for it on He Mei Xin.If his eldest daughter-in-law were to find out that Peng Family Yan had fallen because of her own negligence, he wondered what kind of ruckus she would cause.
"Alright, since you've decided to ask for ten million, I'll talk to the hospital about it. But, should we inform the He family about this?" Peng Zhen Xiang suddenly thought of his wife.
After all, it was now a matter of interest.
"Why are you notifying the He family? Number two, have you gone stupid? You don't even have a son, what are you thinking about the He family for? If not for saving He Mei Xin, would your son have died? " Once Long Cui Fen heard that she wanted to notify the She family, she immediately became anxious.In her opinion, the more people involved in this matter, the less money they would be able to get.
This dead child was a part of the He family. If the He family were to join in, wouldn't half of the family be divided?
She didn't want to part with it.
Old Lady Peng also had this kind of mentality, so he stared at his second son, "It's good enough that I didn't find the He family to compensate my grandson, you still want them to get involved? Let me tell you, when this matter is over, you will immediately divorce He Mei Xin, do you hear me? "
"Mom, it's not her fault that Mei Xin is in a difficult situation to bear, we brought up the matter of divorce so quickly, isn't that a little too much?" In the end, Peng Zhen Xiang still couldn't bear it.
After all, the reason she was with He Mei Xin at the beginning was also because she liked her.Only then, when they were married, things changed.
He didn't know how it changed, but after Mei Xin married into their family, she didn't seem so cute anymore. Adding to that, his mother had been instigating in him a thought that his wife couldn't bear, so he gradually stopped paying attention to her.
"Too much? Did you not think it was your own fault? "" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it - Didn't you listen to the doctor at first? She wouldn't be able to bear children in the future, so what was the point of keeping a hen that couldn't lay an egg? Do you want to kill them for the new year? Zhenxiang, what can I say about you? "You are just too soft-hearted." The Old Lady Peng looked at his younger son and rebuked him.
Two sons, the eldest son grew up without much potential, grew up married and became a family, afraid that the wife would be scared to death.
Her second son had been her pride and hope since he was a child. After graduating from a prestigious university, he had found a decent job and became the backbone of her reliance on him. In order to prevent him from following his eldest son's example, she had spent a lot of effort to tame and teach him how to treat his daughter-in-law.
However, right now, he still could not harden his heart. This made her feel that her education had failed.
"Enough, Mom. Zhenxiang, you can't bear to do this. After all, a husband and wife must be merciful for a day." Peng Zhen Hui stood out and said something for Peng Zhen Xiang."You shut up. What are you supposed to do with this?" The moment he opened his mouth, Long Cui Fen immediately shouted.
Peng Zhen Hui immediately stopped speaking.
Old Lady Peng looked at his eldest son's good-for-nothing appearance, then looked at his second son, and said with a sunken face, "Zhenxiang, you have to leave this marriage, do you hear?"
"Got it." Peng Zhen Xiang agreed, but his expression looked to be deep in thought.
The family discussed further and decided that Peng Zhen Xiang would negotiate with the hospital first thing in the morning. They wanted to get the money as soon as possible.After the blackmail plan was finalized, it was already very late and they were all preparing to disperse.
There was a knock on the door.
It was so late, who would come to their house?
The four of them looked at each other, and it was Peng Zhen Xiang who walked to the door and asked: "Who is it?""Is this Mr. Peng's home?" someone asked from outside.
"Yes, who are you people?" Peng Zhen Xiang agreed and continued to ask.
"Mr. Peng, we are representatives from the academy. We would like to discuss the matter of compensation with you. Please open the door."When Peng Zhen Xiang heard that it was someone from the hospital, his heart was overjoyed. It seemed that the hospital could no longer take it anymore, and had taken the initiative to speak.
This was a good thing. Maybe he could take the opportunity to raise the price even higher.
When the others in the room heard that it was someone sent by the hospital, they too became extremely excited.As they imagined the huge amount of money they would receive, greedy smiles appeared on their faces.
Opening the door, Peng Zhen Xiang saw a young man in a suit standing outside.
"Just you alone?" He did not believe that the hospital would allow only one person to step in to negotiate."Of course not. Our hospital has booked a private room in the nearby teahouse specifically for the purpose of negotiating compensation with Mr. Peng. I would like to invite Mr. Peng to come with me." Qiu Ye said with a smile, and a face full of politeness.
"Is that so? Then wait a moment." Peng Zhen Xiang said, and turned to look at the other three, "Which one of you is going with me?"
"I'll go with your big brother. Cui Fen, you stay at home and take care of the children." The Old Lady Peng said.
She was afraid that after the three of them agreed on the price, they would trick her into thinking that they had too much money, so she said, "Mom, let ZhenHui stay at home and look after the child. He has a soft personality and is not able to say a word for a long time, he is not suitable for such an occasion."
"What's the use of you going? Second Bro will decide everything, and you'll only be able to make up for it when you get there. How would I let you say anything? "If you don't let Boss go, then alright, you two can both stay at home and watch over Jiaming and Yan'er." Old Lady Peng really did not want his eldest daughter-in-law to go with him.She secretly thought that no matter how much the hospital would lose in the end, they would have to pay at least a third of the money to keep their account, and the rest would have to be split between the two brothers.
Her eldest daughter-in-law was too powerful. If the money were in her hands, she definitely wouldn't be able to take it out.She had to save some money for her old age.
She was sure that her thoughts would be supported by her eldest son and second son.
Hearing that the couple was not allowed to go, Long Cui Fen became anxious, and compromise a little: "Alright, then let Zhenhui go with us."After all, it was more or less the same if Peng Zhen Hui went along with him. All she wanted to know was how much money the hospital had lost.
should be able to accurately bring back this information to him.
After discussing it for a while, it was finally decided that Old Lady Peng and Peng Zhen Xiang would accompany Peng Zhen Hui.
The three of them were just about to change their shoes and leave when Qiu Ye, who was at the door, stopped the two people behind Peng Zhen Xiang with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, this matter is something that the hospital only wants to discuss with the husband of the person involved. As for the rest of the family members, you should stay at home and wait for news."
Hearing that, Old Lady Peng's face immediately became ugly, "What do you mean? "You won't let us go?"
"Sorry, this is our hospital's rule. This is what the constitution says, we are just following the rules." Qiu Ye said with a smile."What kind of rules are these?" I'm telling you, we have to go together with all three of us today, or we won't go at all. " The Old Lady Peng began to act arrogantly.
"Is that so?" Hearing that, Qiu Ye lowered his head and muttered to himself for a moment, then looked at Peng Zhen Xiang with a troubled look, "Mr. Peng, if you are sure that you do not want to go, then I will return to report it. In the case of your wife, the hospital has asked a medical investigation team to investigate whether there were any flaws in the doctor's handling of the patient. As far as I know, although the situation was critical at the time, and there was only one case of protection, when the nurse went out to ask you, the delay caused by your delay in giving a reply led to a delay in the treatment of the fetus, which was why the doctor, after weighing the pros and cons, went all out to save the mother in order to minimize the damage. In terms of procedure, there is no problem. "
Hearing that, Peng Zhen Xiang's expression changed, but very quickly, he revealed an expression of disbelief: "You don't have to use that to fool me, if your hospital really has nothing wrong with this matter, how could they come to my house at night and look for me to negotiate?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ye could not help but laugh, "Mr. Peng, you may have misunderstood us, but the reason we came to find you was because the hospital's normal operations are severely affected by the medical clamor you invited, and the hospital's head sympathized with the loss of your beloved son's mood. Thus, he decided to give you all a compensation out of a humanitarian spirit, and hoped that you could remove those medical clamors, and this matter will come to an end. Of course, if you don't want to settle it in a coordinated manner, then take the legal path. But forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid that with your family's resources, you won't be able to afford it. How about it? You decide whether you want to come with me or not. This time, the hospital took the initiative to negotiate with you, so the initiative is still in your hands. When the medical investigation team has cleared up the matter, and the hospital has enough evidence to prove its innocence, I'm afraid that if they go to court, it will be another way of ending things. ""Are you scaring me?" Peng Zhen Xiang could tell that Qiu Ye was advising him to stop at the best of times and not continue to seek death.
"I don't dare, I just spoke the truth." Qiu Ye said, he raised his wrist and looked at the time on the wrist watch, "I will give you another thirty seconds, if you want to negotiate, then follow me now. If you do not, then I will take my leave first."
Peng Zhen Xiang could tell from his expression that he was not trying to trick his. After a fierce struggle, he finally nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go with you."
Then, he looked back at his mother and brother, "Mom, bro, just wait for me at home. Don't worry, I'll be fine by myself."
Old Lady Peng was still a little worried, but he didn't have any other good idea.
After all, no matter how you listened to it, what Qiu Ye said did not sound like a lie.
If the hospital really did investigate this and it was not related to them, then wouldn't this incident be a waste of time?
No matter how one looked at it, it would be a huge loss if they still wanted to invite the doctors to make trouble for them.
"Go on, call us if you have anything to discuss, don't make the decision by yourself." Old Lady Peng did not forget to remind him before he left.
"I know, don't worry." Peng Zhen Xiang comforted his mother as he turned to follow Qiu Ye's footsteps and went downstairs.
