was slightly taken aback, then understood what was going on. He smiled wryly and said, "Big sister, I really don't know how you do things. What does it have to do with me that your period came""Huh"W..."Not outsiders, not outsiders, we are all family!"
Ou Yang Lan immediately beamed with joy, already regarding Qin Chu Chu as her daughter-in-law.
She took out her phone and said, "Xiaofan, Mom's phone broke. Can you see if it can be fixed"
She was bumped in the hotel and fell, she was fine at first but then she discovered her phone was broken.
Ye Bufan took Ouyang Lan's phone. It was an old model bought from a secondhand market, which had been used for many years. At this moment, the screen was completely shattered and showed nothing.
"Alright, Mom. That phone's so outdated, nobody would even pick it up if you threw it out! Just get a new one."
Ye Bufan said, then directly took out his SIM card and threw the phone into the trash can beside him.
"This phone has been used for so many years, I'm used to it." Ouyang Lan said reluctantly, "Even if you change my phone, don't buy too expensive one, I'll just use this old-fashioned phone."
"Don't buy it, I already prepared it for you."
Ye Bufan said, taking out that custom-made Witu phone and inserting the SIM card.
Ouyang Lan took a glance and saw that it wasn't much different from her own phone. She asked, "When did you buy this How much did it cost"
"Not much, 350."
Ye Bufan knew that if he reported the real price, his mother wouldn't use it no matter what, so he directly omitted the unit at the back.
"Oh! It's still a bit expensive, you know. You could just buy an older phone for one or two hundred bucks."
Ouyang Lan took the phone as she spoke.
Next to Qin Chuchu couldn't help but chuckle, 3.5 million phone called 350 yuan still think it's expensive, this old lady is really something else.
At that moment, the phone in Ouyang Lan's hand rang.
Ouyang Lan glanced at the phone number and her expression changed slightly. She took the phone and was about to go out to answer it.
Ye Bufan pulled her back, "Mom, you stay here and listen. I want to see what they have to say!"
Even without looking, he could tell it was his uncles from home calling.
"This..." Ouyang Lan hesitated for a moment, but finally sat back down and pressed the answer button.
The phone just picked up, and the other side’s Ouyang De shouted, “Ouyang Lan, when did you learn to turn off your phone You didn't answer my calls for so long.”
Ouyang Lan glanced at Ye Bufan and then said, "Xiao De, my phone is broken..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ouyang De rudely said, "Enough with the chatter. How about 10 million"
Ouyang Lan said, "I haven't had time to discuss it with Xiaofan yet."
There is no room for negotiation, I tell you. This 10 million has to be paid. Xiaohui's life is worth 10 million.
"See you back at the old house tomorrow!"
After Ouyang De finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a snap.
Ouyang Lan put away her phone and looked at her son's apologetic face.
"This is the situation, your uncle said that your aunt's death requires compensation of 2 million yuan to each person, plus another 2 million yuan for funeral expenses."
Ou Yang Lan also knew that her younger brother's request was too much. The more she spoke, the softer her voice became until it was almost inaudible at the end.
"What gives them the right They don't even make sense anymore!"
Before Ye Bufan could speak, Qin ChuChu exclaimed indignantly, "No matter how you look at it, the dead shouldn't be paid."
Ye Bufan said, "That's right. Ouyang Hui's death is purely a criminal case and has nothing to do with you. You don't need to bear any compensation responsibility."
Even if we were to assume a loss, it wouldn't be their right to profit from it. This is blatant extortion and taking advantage of the situation.
Qin ChuChu said, "This is too much bullying. Charging 2 million yuan for funeral expenses Where did they come up with this"
Ouyang Lan seemed like a child who had done something wrong, stammering, "Xiaofan, after all, they are my younger siblings. Maybe we could just give them a little less"
"Mom, how can you still not see this Think about it, do these people have any real affection for you If they truly cared about you like a sister, they wouldn't have left you alone out here all these years."
Ye Bufan said, "If they truly treat you well, if they're really like brothers and sisters, don't mention 10 million, even if I gave them 20 million or 30 million, it wouldn't matter."
But now it won't work, those ungrateful bastards, not a penny will they give.
Ouyang Lan said, "But..."
Ye Bufan said, "It's nothing serious, Mom. Just leave this to me. We'll go back together tomorrow."
Ou Yang Lan thought about it for a moment, and finally said: "Alright then, Mom, I'll listen to you."
Ye Bufan sent Qin Chuchu back home, and the next morning, he drove back to Wufeng County with Ouyang Lan.
Because the roads in the county were bad, and he didn't want to draw too much attention to himself, he chose a Passat instead of his Pagani.
After getting in the car, Ouyang Lan said hesitantly, "Xiaofan, we haven't been back for a long time. Why don't we take them some gifts"
"Mom, we agreed that I wouldn't bring them anything. These people are all ungrateful ingrates who think everything they get is owed to them, no matter how much you give them. They'll never be grateful."
You worked hard, providing for their education, helping them get married, even selling yourself to pay for their schooling. What's the result What have you gained from it
Ou Yanglan sighed and didn't speak again. She knew her son was telling the truth, but she was a kind person and never wanted to make things too difficult with her own siblings.
Ye Bufan didn't drive very fast, and he entered Wuping County after two hours.
Ouyang Lan's family home is an old house left by their ancestors. Although it has been through a hundred years and looks dilapidated, its location is in the city center, and it covers a large area.
Although it's a bit outdated now, moving would inevitably cost a fortune.
Back then, people like Ouyang De saw this point clearly. So, right after Ye Bufan's grandmother Zhao Caifeng passed away, they drove Ouyang Lan out.
Zhao Cai Feng had three sons and three daughters, but when she was critically ill at the end of her life, only Ou Yang Lan stayed by her side, taking care of her filial piety. To treat the old woman's illness, she even borrowed a large sum of money.
Ouyang De and others not only couldn't see any shadows, but they didn't spend a penny.
The old woman was heartbroken by this and, on her deathbed, directly transferred the ownership of this entire old house to Ouyang Lan.
But unexpectedly, just after Zhao Caifeng's funeral, Ouyang De and others came to the door, claiming that it was only natural for the son to inherit the family business, and this house should belong to their son.
While Ou Yang Lan was just an outsider, she was ultimately kicked out.
Facing her unruly younger siblings, Ouyang Lan had grown accustomed to it. She didn't argue with them, and instead came to open a steamed bun shop in Jiangnan City. She had been drifting alone ever since.
At this moment, all the siblings of the Ouyang family were gathered inside the old house, holding a meeting together.
Ouyang De said, "Wait for Ouyang Lan and them to come back, then we'll execute the plan. First, give them a good face. If they know what's good for them, they'll obediently hand over 10 million."
If they're really being stubborn and unwilling to spend even this small amount, then we can't blame ourselves. We'll just proceed with the plan and get the money no matter what.
Others nodded in agreement. At that moment, the sound of an engine came from the courtyard. Ouyang Zhi said, "They're back."
