The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruihua was so angry that she didn't even know how to speak. She felt a wave of dizziness and almost fainted.

She had originally planned to play the victim, but now that she had an extra million, she wanted to speak up, but she was also somewhat afraid to.

I felt my blood rushing to my head and I almost fainted.

Just then, Cao Wei smiled and offered a reminder.

"By the way, if you faint here and need me to call the hospital, it'll cost you ten million."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruihua felt that her legs were no longer sore and her feet no longer hurt.

Before stepping out of the He family's gate, he glared at Cao Wei with resentment.

And so began the journey to the hospital.

When Li Mei and Zhou Xiuying arrived at the hospital.

Yi Zhonghai immediately asked, his face showing some anxiety.

"Xiaomei, is that guy willing to forgive us?"

At this moment, Madam Jia Zhang started to shout.

"That little bastard, isn't it only right that he forgives us? He beat me up like this, and I haven't even made him pay me back yet, and he actually dared to report it to the Military Control Commission, and the people there are even helping him, Old Jia..."

As they were talking, the summoning ceremony for Jia Zhangshi hadn't even started when it was forced to stop because of a glare from the military control officer standing at the door.

Li Mei looked somewhat embarrassed, but in the end she nodded as if she had made up her mind, and then directly stated Cao Wei's conditions.

"But he wants us to pay seven million."

"What?! Seven million?! Isn't this robbery?"

The person who reacted the most was not Yi Zhonghai, but Jia Zhangshi.

The reason is simple: in her heart, Yi Zhonghai, this childless heir, owned the house and money, which belonged to her family. Now, Cao Wei was extorting seven million yuan from them, which was tantamount to robbing them of their money. Her heart was clenching with pain.

All he could do was keep cursing Cao Wei.

"This little bastard who gave birth to a son without an anus, this childless heir, actually wants seven million? Is his life worth seven million?"

Although Jia Zhangshi kept shouting, Yi Zhonghai's expression didn't seem to be affected much.

If the seven million is divided among the three families, it's less than two million.

Compared to going to jail, the cost-effectiveness is naturally very high.

But just as Yi Zhonghai was about to turn around and discuss with Liu Haizhong and Yan Jiegui how to divide the compensation, Li Mei, before she could even speak, Zhou Xiuying gritted her teeth and said.

"You're overthinking it. It's not a total of seven million in compensation, it's the Yi family alone that has to pay seven million."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai's face darkened, and he felt as if he had been cut by a knife.

To be precise, his stinginess was not much different from Yan Fugui's. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept calling on the silly pig to provide relief in a certain time and space, while he himself would only occasionally give her a few pounds of cornmeal and then use that as leverage to force Qin Huairu to cooperate with him and have some fun.

However, he is now asked to come up with seven million, which is equivalent to a year's salary.

He had been saving for a year and a half, and this was all his retirement money. While he was heartbroken, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, upon seeing the two's reaction, Li Mei couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"You think only the Yi family has to pay? Your Liu and Yan families also have to pay, five million each. And Cao Wei from the Jia family said that if the two of you get into a fight, you'll have to pay a maximum of eight million."

As soon as she finished speaking, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Jia Zhangshi burst into a scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered.

"What?! Eight million? That little beast isn't afraid of dying for taking that money? He's trying to force us, a widow and her children, to our deaths! Old Jia! Come up here and take that little beast away!"

This time, Jia Zhangshi's summoning ceremony was not interrupted. After all, the guards from the military control committee were also a bit stunned. They didn't expect Cao Wei to dare to make such an outrageous demand. However, the two exchanged a glance.

He could only feel envy for Cao Wei.

As for those four families who are pitiful?

Just kidding, they know what happened.

They actually dared to seize a house in front of others. In the past, during turbulent times, they would have been eating peanuts by now, not having the time to shout like this.

Meanwhile, the second strongest reaction came from Yan Fugui.

Known for his frugality, he was shocked when he heard that the compensation amount was as high as five million.

She just fainted right there, but before anyone could call a nurse, it seemed she was worried about the medical bills.

Yan Fugui slowly woke up. Now, he was the lowest-paid member of this retirement group, earning only about 300,000 yuan a month.

There are five mouths to feed in the house.

It would take three whole years of hard work to save up that money.

So he turned to Yi Zhonghai and began to threaten him menacingly.

"Old Yi, this is all your fault. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be hospitalized here, and we wouldn't have to spend such a large sum of money. So you have to reimburse us for this."

"That's right."

Liu Haizhong couldn't help but nod as he spoke, since his income was slightly lower than Yi Zhonghai's, around 500,000 a month.

There are also five mouths to feed in the family. Although he is not as stingy as Yan Fugui, it would still take him almost two years to save up such a large sum of money.

However, Yi Zhonghai merely glanced at them coldly and said calmly, "Then you just wait and see. When that kid really goes to jail, let's see if you can still keep your jobs."

These words instantly deflated Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui.

However, Yan Fugui did not seem to have given up on his plan to have Yi Zhonghai sell the products, so he continued to bargain.

"He can't get a partial reimbursement, but he has to get most of it reimbursed. Our family really doesn't have that much money. Can you help me get four million reimbursed?"

However, Yi Zhonghai completely ignored Yan Fugui.

He knew very well what made this old guy so confident. He used to be a small business owner, but he was stingy. He still had a lot of nice things at home. It wouldn't be difficult for Yan Fugui to come up with five million. It was just that the old guy was reluctant to spend the money.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi was still shouting and making a scene, while Jia Dongxu looked at Yi Zhonghai with a pitiful expression.

"Master, you know our family really can't afford that much money."

Yi Zhonghai was caught in a dilemma after receiving a hint from his apprentice who was taking care of him.

If I agree to their offer, it means I'll have to spend 15 million this time.

Even if he had saved up a lot of money, this was tantamount to bleeding him dry.

Moreover, this is all my retirement money.

At the same time, Jia Zhangshi stopped crying and making a fuss, and stared straight at Yi Zhonghai. In her opinion, Yi Zhonghai's money was meant to be given to them at this time.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was being roasted over a stove.

Just then, Yang Ruihua arrived, and his expression was somewhat evasive as he placed the food next to Yan Fugui.

But she didn't say a word, which aroused Yan Fugui's curiosity. It was strange that his wife, who was usually so talkative, was so quiet.

So he couldn't help but ask Yang Ruihua.

"Ruihua, have you talked to that little bastard? Have you asked him to see if he could lower the price a bit? After all, our family is struggling so much."

Yang Ruihua, who was mentioned, looked somewhat embarrassed. After staring at Yan Fugui for a long while, she cautiously spoke.

"Old Yan, you need to stay calm after hearing this. After all, continuing medication at this hospital is very expensive."

"I begged that little bastard, but he wouldn't give us a discount, and... and he even added another million because of how hard I worked."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yan Fugui, unable to hold on any longer, collapsed onto the hospital bed...
