Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Luo Bin Gets Beaten Up Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Luo Bin Gets Beaten Up When the main door was opened and they saw who was standing outside, they asked, “What is this all about?”
Wang Sanqiang’s mother, slapping her thigh, burst into tears and curses, “You’ve really lost your conscience. The two kids were such good friends, and when your son was asked to help out, he went ahead and smashed someone into the hospital with a brick.
Our family is already so poor we can barely make ends meet, where would we get the money to compensate others? Your son is clearly a menace, let everybody judge this for themselves!”
Luo Tianming was already upset that Luo Bin had gotten involved in Wang Sanqiang’s trouble, and now the Wang Family was trying to turn the tables, which truly enraged him.
Feng Hui also understood what was going on by now, the Wang Family was trying to extort them, and they couldn’t let them succeed.
She then started yelling, “If your son hadn’t been like a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh, this wouldn’t have happened. If my son hadn’t been dragged into taking revenge for your son, this would not have occurred, and we haven’t even come to your door to blame you.
Yet here you are, blocking our door early in the morning, looking for trouble. Do you think the Luo Family is easy to bully? Why should my son bear the responsibility for the trouble Wang Sanqiang caused? He really is a coward.”
But now Wang Sanqiang wasn’t here; he was still detained at the police station. Even though Geng Zhenyu was hurt by Luo Bin, the main culprit was Wang Sanqiang, and he was just a few days shy of turning eighteen.
If the Geng Family insisted on pursuing the responsibility and it dragged on, he was likely to end up not in juvenile detention but in jail. The Geng couple had also mentioned that everything would depend on Geng Zhenyu’s diagnostic results today.
Wang Sanqiang’s mother had come to make a scene at the Luo Family’s home today to have them pay all the compensation since it was Luo Bin who had sent someone to the hospital.
But they hadn’t expected that Luo Bin’s mother would be quite formidable, and it turned into a big argument right in front of the Luo Family’s main door, attracting several neighbors who were too engaged in the drama to even eat their breakfast on time.
There was no choice but to get the police from the station involved, and the two families went to the station again to sort things out. It wasn’t until noon that Luo Tianming and his wife returned from the station.
The incident from yesterday was a serious one, and the Geng Family made a concession because there were two kids from his wife’s sister involved.
But since Wang Sanqiang had a prior record and was the organizer, he had to go to juvenile detention for three months of re-education. The hospital and missed work expenses for Geng Zhenyu’s parents were to be split between the Luo and Wang families and settled once Geng Zhenyu was discharged.
However, the compensation and nutritional support for Geng Zhenyu had to be paid today, fifty yuan from each family, which was the result of the police’s mediation efforts all morning.
Wang Sanqiang’s mother wailed and acted pitiful at the station for half a day, but Geng Zhenyu’s mother, who worked at the trade union, was used to these antics and remained unmoved.
In the end, it was Wang Sanqiang’s Big Brother, fearing the long wait and worried that if Wang Sanqiang turned eighteen, it would mean jail instead of juvenile detention, who went to his workplace to get an advance on his salary to cover the funds.
Upon returning home from the station, the courtyard was eerily quiet, and that’s when Luo Tianming exploded, pulling off his belt and giving Luo Bin a severe beating, while Feng Hui, unable to stop him, burst into tears.
Feng Hui, crying, said, “Do you want to kill him? The boy hasn’t grown up by our side, and he wasn’t well-educated in the countryside. We need to slowly reason with him.”
Luo Tianming was truly on the verge of being driven mad by his wife, “Sparing the rod spoils the child. Go on and spoil him then. Look at what he’s done since we’ve taken him back.”
Stubbornly, Luo Bin retorted, “Send me back to Qingshan Village. I won’t follow you anymore; I want to go back to Qingshan Village. My parents never laid a finger on me there; that’s my home.”
