Chapter 3: It Was Difficult To Send Coal In the Snow

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

On the third day, the verdict came out.

Chen Yiyuan was fully responsible for the accident.

There were two reasons for this. One was the testimony of the injured Zhang Junnian, which directly pointed out that Chen Yiyuan had intentionally hit someone.

The second reason was that Chen Yiyuan drove away after the crime and destroyed the traces at the scene.

From this, there was no way to defend himself.

If he wanted to be cleared of this crime, he would have to produce new evidence.

However, there were no surveillance cameras on the road at that time, so it was impossible to find new evidence.

Therefore, there were only two choices for the Chen Family three days later.

One was to privately compensate them. The Chen Family would be responsible for all the medical expenses, plus an additional 100,000 yuan in compensation.

The other was to sue the court. Based on the current situation, if there was no new evidence, even if they sued, they would definitely lose. At that time, the compensation might be even more.

Regarding this, even though the Chen family was filled with indignation, they could only lower their heads and admit defeat.

During the period when the injured Zhang Junnian was in the hospital, he stayed in the best Intensive Care Unit and used the most expensive medical equipment and medicine.

Just the medical expenses alone cost 200,000 yuan.

This made the Chen Family, who was originally an ordinary family, suddenly empty out their savings. The family’s expenses became very tight.

But in the end, they still owed 100,000 yuan.

The people from the Zhang Family came to urge them every two to three days.

They disturbed the Chen Family’s restaurant business so much that they were unable to do business.

In desperation, the Chen Family could only borrow money from their relatives and friends to pay off their ‘debts’.

“Say, why were you so kind? How can there be good karma for being a good person these days? The medical expenses were 200,000 yuan, and we still owe 100,000 yuan. How can our family still afford such a large sum of money?”

Chen Yiyuan’s wife, Xu Yalan, was also full of resentment.

The couple had worked hard to get up early and work late. They had saved up for many years to save up this money.

With just this one move, all of it was gone.

It would be a lie to say that it didn’t hurt.

“Stop talking. Let’s think of a way to solve this matter first.” Chen Yiyuan also frowned. “I’m not afraid of being slandered. These people set us up maliciously. Sooner or later, there will be retribution.”

“Dad, do you think this matter has something to do with Wang Yaohua who repeatedly asked us to sell the building?” Chen Jing seemed to be thinking.

“Don’t make wild guesses. This time it should be an accident. Let’s go. My wrist is injured and I can’t use any strength. Bring two bottles of wine. We’ll go to your Second Uncle’s house.”

Chen Yiyuan had a younger brother. In recent years, he had been doing business with others and had a few million in assets. Chen Yiyuan’s idea was to borrow 100,000 yuan from his younger brother to tide over the current crisis.

“Brother, it’s hard for me too. Although I’ve made some money in the past few years, it’s not much. And as you know, it’s a huge burden for my two children to go to school. I still have a lot of external debts. Let alone 100,000, even 10,000 yuan isn’t possible for me. Some time ago, I was thinking of borrowing some money from you to make a round trip.”

When he arrived at Chen Yisong’s house, he had only just opened his mouth when he received Chen Yisong’s reply.

Chen Jing chuckled and did not say anything. Actually, before he entered his Second Uncle’s house, he already knew that they would not be able to gain anything from this trip.

Back then, when Chen Yiyuan and Chen Yisong were separated, Chen Yisong used his preference to occupy the old house. Chen Yiyuan only took out 30,000 yuan to buy a piece of land, build a three-story building, and open a restaurant.

The land that he bought back then was only a remote place, and the price was very cheap.

Chen Yisong used to laugh at him for buying such a remote place to build a house.

Actually, Chen Yiyuan didn’t want to either, but with the little money he had back then, he could only buy this place.

Ten years later, something unexpected happened. This desolate place was zoned as a planned area, and in a blink of an eye, it became the busiest pedestrian area in Mingyang City.

Although the Chen family’s three-story old building didn’t fall into the expropriation area, its value had increased by hundreds of times.

However, the old house occupied by Chen Yisong had once been reduced to a backward old residential area.

He had been in business for many years before he had accumulated a million yuan, but as long as Chen Yiyuan’s family sold the building, they would immediately catch up with him.

This matter had always made him very unhappy.

In the past, he would always bring up this matter whenever it was the New Years or a holiday. There was a sour taste in his words.

So, could his father borrow money from a Second Uncle like this?

However, Chen Yiyuan and Chen Yisong were blood-related brothers, after all. Chen Jing was only a junior, so he naturally couldn’t say anything.

“Actually, according to what I said, wouldn’t you have everything if you sold that house? Back then, you only bought that land for 30,000 yuan. Now, others have already offered 6 million yuan. It’s already enough. It’s impossible for you to ask for more. After all, this is only a prefecture-level city, not a coastal city.” Chen Yisong tried to persuade him.

“Yisong, you know that I’m not doing this for money.” Chen Yiyuan sighed.

Chen Yisong was stunned for a moment and smiled slightly. In his heart, he thought that it would be strange if he was not doing this for money. The way that he raised the price was really good. Last year, others had offered 5 million yuan. This year, they had already offered 6 million yuan.

“I know. Aren’t you just afraid that Xiaoman will not be able to find her home? To be honest, Xiaoman has been lost for so many years, and it is unlikely that she will be able to find her home again. In this country, so many children are lost every year. How many have you seen that can be recovered? Brother, don’t be too stubborn. Life has to move forward, right?” Chen Yisong advised with a kind face.

“Sigh!”

Chen Yiyuan sighed. Since he couldn’t borrow money, he could only go to another house to take a look.

“Dad, don’t go to the other relatives’ houses. Second Uncle is your biological brother and he doesn’t even want to lend you money. What about the others? He just threw in two bottles of wine for nothing,” Chen Jing said self-deprecatingly.

“What are you talking about? You have no manners.”

“To be honest, let alone 100,000, even if you borrowed 5,000, Second Uncle would probably not lend it to you, given his petty nature.” Chen Jing shrugged.

“What do you know? Borrowing is a favor, not a duty. Your Second Uncle probably has difficulties too.” Chen Yiyuan thought kindly.

“Let’s go. Let’s try your Uncle Tang’s house.”

“I’m not going. If you want to go, go by yourself.”

“Sigh, forget it. Then, you go back first. I’ll go alone.”

Looking at his father’s lonely figure leaving alone, Chen Jing felt aggrieved. At the same time, he became even more resentful of the blackmailer who was lying in the hospital.

On the way back, because he was thinking about something, Chen Jing accidentally stepped into a puddle.

There was an internet café next to the puddle. There was an air-conditioning unit beside the puddle, and it just so happened that there was an exposed wire submerged in the water.

The moment Chen Jing stepped in, the intense high-voltage electricity suddenly spread throughout his body. In the blink of an eye, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground..
