C334 Compensation (1/2)
There were a total of seven or eight people in the room. There were elderly people and well-built young men. All of them were gathered in the northeast corner of the living room, yelling and tearing at the same time.
Sun Jiayao was like a frightened child, curling up in the corner of a wall.
The room had been tidied up, most of the burned objects cleared out, the dark walls washed.
However, that was all. There was not a single piece of furniture in the room, not even a single piece of glass in the window.
On the floor were a sheet, two bricks, and several empty instant noodle boxes.
In the past two days, Sun Jiayao did not sleep on the floor and eat instant noodles, right?
This was too much! So many people had joined together to bully a girl!
Jiang Xiaobai's intrusion caused the people surrounding Sun Jiayao to pause for a moment. A middle-aged man glared at Jiang Xiaobai and shouted, ”Get out, you don't have to worry about this matter!”
With that, the middle-aged man grabbed Sun Jiayao's arm and roared: ”Pay up, or else you won't be finished today!”
”Let me go!” Sun Jiayao struggled with all her might.
With a ”Si La” sound, the sleeve on Sun Jiayao's left side was ripped apart, revealing her round, pure white arm.
”Out of the way!” Jiang Xiaobai was furious, he grabbed the middle aged man's shoulder and threw him out.
”Bam!” The man staggered and crashed into the pitch-black wall, his white clothes and pants suddenly blurring.
”Damn you …” The middle-aged man flew into a rage, cursed out loud, and then rushed over again.
”Bam!” He bumped into another man and both of them fell to the ground.
”Hu hu!” Before they could react, two more men flew into the air and smashed onto their bodies.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xiaobai had thrown all of the men surrounding Sun Jiayao out.
The three women trembled in fear and retreated three to four meters away without a word.
You are... ”Brother Jiang?” The frightened Sun Jia Yao suddenly recognized Jiang Xiaobai and immediately rushed over, crying out loud, ”Brother Jiang, why did you only just arrive? Wuu …
”Don't cry, don't cry, what's going on?” Jiang Xiaobai held Sun Jiayao up, wanting to put away the clothes on her arms, but he was unable to do so in the end.
”They... They're neighbors. ” Sun Jiayao hid behind Jiang Xiaobai and said: ”When the fire is strong, their family would also suffer losses, and they would all come to find me for compensation.”
The fire from the day before yesterday was indeed very fierce. The flames shot out from the windows and went straight to the third and fourth floor. The water pipes exploded and the walls were scorched black.
As neighbors, they had indeed suffered a loss, and the compensation was to be expected.
Jiang Xiaobai said: ”If they want to compensate us, we can just give it to them.”
”But they're asking too much! They're asking too much! They're asking too much of me,” he said. ”There's a total of nine families, and they want me to compensate them with 30,000. At the most, they want me to compensate them with 150,000!” Sun Jiayao said: ”Besides, my life is difficult, how can I compensate them?”
To ask for so much money was indeed going too far.
But what Jiang Xiaobai wanted was to calm things down, because he could already see the police car through the glass window.
Jiang Xiaobai said: ”I didn't give you a card, the money in it is about right?”
Sun Jiayao shook her head with all her might: ”That's your money. I'm already very grateful to you for paying for my mother's hospitalization expenses.
An old lady in her sixties said, ”We didn't force you to take it. It was your mother who agreed to withdraw the money from the card!”
The four men who fell to the ground stood up. They had originally planned to once again swarm forward, but after hearing this, their eyes immediately lit up.
