Reborn as an 80s-aged woman, her unfilial son begs for forgiveness on his knees.

The old lady and the Li family were all confused.

What?

Thirty thousand yuan!

Oh my God, how much is 30,000?

They've never seen so much money in their entire lives!

Moreover, if the conditions are met, each member of the Li family will receive 500 yuan as compensation for emotional distress, which is simply a windfall!

They toiled in the fields for most of their lives, and had saved less than a thousand yuan!

"These conditions are my bottom line. Not a single one can be less."

If you don't agree, then we'll see you in court.

Zhang Wenying put down her teacup, her gaze calm yet carrying an undeniable firmness.

She knew in her heart that she must not show weakness at this moment, otherwise the other party would take advantage of her and her rightful benefits would be greatly reduced.

Having witnessed countless haggling sessions in the business world of later generations, she knew that in such situations, it was crucial to grit one's teeth and not give in.

This didn't happen in my past life.

Only the second son was beaten so badly that he had to stay in bed for more than half a month.

But the result?

As a result, the Wang family was powerful and influential, and the Li family didn't even get a proper explanation. The second son not only suffered a beating for nothing, but also had to pay the Pan and Wang families 500 yuan in compensation.

This time, she will not let history repeat itself.

Factory Director Wang's forehead veins throbbed, and he tapped his fingers twice on the table before finally squeezing out a sentence: "Sister Zhang, it's over forty thousand! Isn't this trying to kill me?"

His voice carried a hint of suppressed anger, yet he still forced himself to refrain from lashing out.

Zhang Wenying looked at him calmly: "Director Wang, stop pretending to be poor. Do you think I don't know how much the machinery factory's annual output value is?"

This amount of money is nothing to you. If you really can't come up with it, then we'll have to go to court to find out who's right and who's wrong. At that point, it won't just be about the money; whether you can keep your position as factory manager is another matter entirely.

Director Li quickly tried to smooth things over, wiping the sweat from his forehead: "Calm down, calm down, let's talk this out."

Sister Zhang, I think Factory Director Wang is indeed in a difficult situation. How about we compromise and settle for 28,000? What do you think?"

Every penny counts.

Zhang Wenying shook her head, tapping her fingertips lightly on the table: "Thirty thousand, not a penny less."

I know that Director Wang has the money, he just can't bear to part with it.

"If this really goes to court, we'll lay out everything from beginning to end. Then, not only will Factory Director Wang have to pay money, but his reputation will be completely ruined. Which is more worthwhile? You can let Factory Director Wang decide for himself."

Factory Director Wang closed his eyes, feeling a tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing.

He knew Zhang Wenying was telling the truth. This matter had already reached the city level. If it really went to court, he would inevitably be held accountable and lose his position as factory director. That would truly mean losing everything.

Although 30,000 yuan is a lot, it buys stability and this location, so it's still worth it.

He gritted his teeth and looked up at Zhang Wenying: "Fine, thirty thousand it is! I promise you!"

I will also arrange a position for Comrade Li Wenjun in the machinery factory.

However, once all the money has been paid in full, this matter must be completely settled; you cannot cause any further trouble.

"Of course." Zhang Wenying nodded with a smile. "As long as Director Wang keeps his word, we will definitely not cause any more trouble. We will settle our differences and not bother each other."

Furthermore, the machine factory must issue an apology letter stating that none of this has anything to do with us.

Factory Director Wang readily agreed to this.

His son acted impulsively, so issuing an apology letter is only right.

He immediately instructed his secretary to draft the document, while he took out his checkbook from his briefcase, quickly signed 30,000 yuan, and handed it to Zhang Wenying.

Zhang Wenying took the check, examined it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, put it in her bag. A smile finally appeared on her lips: "Director Wang is straightforward. Then it's settled. From now on, let's all keep to ourselves and live our own lives."

The two sides quickly signed a settlement agreement, and Director Wang borrowed money to pay off the compensation and medical expenses that were due.

As soon as he stepped out of the conference room, Director Wang's legs went weak. What should have been a good deal had ended up costing him over 40,000 yuan and causing him to lose face. It was heartbreaking to think about.

Meanwhile, in the hospital room, the Li family members were so happy about the transfer that they almost fainted. No one expected that what they had just wanted to get an explanation would end up with such a large sum of compensation.

The old lady leaned against the headboard, gnawing on the braised pork that Xiaojuan had just brought, and chuckled indistinctly, "I knew Yingzi had a way! Now, the Li family will never have to worry about money again!" Zhang Wenying stood by the window, looking at the sky outside, and breathed a sigh of relief. This time, she had finally gotten her revenge for all the losses she had suffered in her previous life.

Li Wenhai was filled with remorse.

He always felt that his mother was making a fool of herself in this matter.

So that day, he completed the hospital admission procedures, had a meal with his second uncle and his group, and then left under the pretext of having something to do at work.

He didn't show up at all for what happened afterward.

Who would have thought that not only did the mother encourage the grandmother to continue making trouble, but she actually drove Director Wang to a dead end, and in the end, she actually received 30,000 yuan in compensation.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He, a college student, was less courageous and resourceful than a rural woman.

Even if it wasn't 30,000, 500 would still be a considerable sum, but I didn't even dare to help at the time. I just felt ashamed and afraid of trouble, and I couldn't wait to sever all ties with them.

Looking back now, I realize that his mindset and perspective have really changed.

Zhang Wenying, who used to be submissive and meek, is now a completely different person. She is bold, decisive, and knows how to be tactful.

Even he himself couldn't tell whether this change was a good thing or a bad thing.

But there's one thing he has to admit... In this family, Zhang Wenying is no longer someone who can be easily ignored.

At the same time, he was also annoyed: if he had received the 30,000 yuan earlier, would he still have had to worry about going abroad?

But now, he has received the money, yet it has nothing to do with him.

Li Wenjun was out of danger and, with his head bandaged, was transferred to a regular ward. He leaned weakly against the bed, listening to the Li and Zhang families excitedly discussing compensation.

He moved his lips and asked, "Mom, could you also issue a letter of understanding to the Pan family?"

The Wang family provided compensation and a letter of understanding, so Wang Dabao will only need to stay in jail for a month or two before he can be released.

But what about the Pan family?

Li Wenjun's words instantly silenced the ward.

Zhang Wenying turned around, glanced at her good-for-nothing son with disdain, and said coldly, "The Pan family."

Does the Pan family have money to give me?

Is your brain filled with mush?

We got beaten up because of the mess you and Pan Wenfang made!

The Pan family is the culprit behind our hospitalization, and you're actually thinking of pleading for them? Let me tell you, I wouldn't take any money from the Pan family!

As for you still want that used woman, then you can go and marry into the Pan family after you're discharged from the hospital. I can't control you, but don't expect your family to give you a single penny or do a single favor again.
