"Call the police in time for things like this." The police scolded the victim's brother.

"I also see that Grandma Tong is old, so I'd rather settle it privately if possible."

"Can you settle a murder case privately?"

"Mr. Policeman, I'm from the countryside and I don't understand the law. I'm sorry." The victim's brother bowed repeatedly.

The policeman looked at Grandma Tong and then at the victim's older brother.

Grandma Tong is old, so she can be given a lighter sentence. After all, the victim was also at fault at the time. Both parties had a good attitude, one was willing to pay compensation, and the other also accepted the compensation.

"How much compensation do you want?"

"Mr. Policeman has the final say. I'll accept whatever compensation the law requires me to accept." The mysterious man had already given a lot of money, so there was no need to continue to pester him. He should just take as much as he could.

"According to the law, in this case, the compensation can only be around 500,000 yuan."

"Okay, okay, we should do what the police say."

"Both parties please sign!"

Grandma Tong refused to sign because the money was too much. She originally wanted the Tong sisters to pay, but she ended up getting herself involved.

My eldest uncle, second uncle and aunt were there, standing silently behind me, no one said a word, for fear that one word would cause them to take the compensation.

"Your grandmother is illiterate, and my eyesight has been poor these days, so you guys sign this." Grandpa Tong handed the pen to the uncle. The uncle hesitated for a moment, but still took the pen and signed.

"Give us a week and we'll raise the money."

"Okay, if you can't give me a week, I will continue to call the police."

After discussing the matter, Grandpa Tong and Grandma Tong left the Public Security Bureau.

My uncle came by car, and he was trembling with worry over the gas money along the way.

"Split the five hundred thousand between the three of you and send it over in a week. Your mother is old, so don't let her suffer."

Uncle, second uncle, and aunt didn't say anything, as if no one heard it.

Grandpa Tong glanced at his children behind him and sighed.

If their third son was still alive, they would not have to go through all this trouble. The most filial child left first.

"Your family will take 160,000 yuan, and we will pay the remaining 20,000 yuan ourselves."

"Dad," my aunt said, "When I got married, you said that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. You didn't even give me a dowry, but you insisted on asking for a gift of 300,000 yuan from my husband's family. I can't even hold my head up in my husband's family now, so how can I have the nerve to ask them for money?"

"What you said is not right, little sister," said the second uncle, "Aren't we a family? My daughter's family is always her support. What? You don't want this support anymore?"

"Look at what my second brother said. I don't dare to ask for this support, because my mother-in-law still doesn't treat me well because of my marriage."

"Then let the eldest and second oldest pay for it, half each." Grandpa Tong said.

"Dad, this is not fair. You have three sons, why do you let us split it equally?" The uncle was dissatisfied. When it came to paying, he felt uncomfortable all over.

"That's right, Dad. Isn't the third brother's son a very filial son? Besides, if Mingxu hadn't been the one in charge of this matter, would we have been taken to the police station? Mingxu should have paid for all the money."

"But Chenchen and Wanwan..."

"Dad, you should know from this incident that Mingxu is different from his two sisters. The children of our Tong family should still side with our Tong family. Daughters! Once they get married, they belong to someone else's family and are not as good as sons." Second uncle glanced at aunt, but of course aunt didn't see it.

"That's fine. Give Mingxu a call. If he doesn't want to pay, ask him to sell the homestead."

Once the homestead is sold, my parents will have no place to live, so I will definitely have to live with them.

"Dad, the homestead is the root of our family and cannot be sold. Whether Mingxu sells it or not, we won't sell it and let him take the money."

Grandpa Tong felt that what his uncle said made sense. After all, they had lived there for so many years and there was still a certain amount of affection between them.
