Shen Qingyin snorted and frowned, "Grandma, that's easy for you to say! Su Zhen'er is still stupid and foolish, his father can't even walk, and his mother is still running around like crazy... Ask them to withdraw the lawsuit? Then who will take care of their grievances? Is there still fairness and justice in this world?"

Seeing that Shen Qingyin was a little excited, the old lady said hurriedly:

"Grandma was wrong, she was just wishful thinking...it was indeed our Shen family that was wrong...but Grandma thought, can't our Shen family compensate them in the future?"

"Compensation? What compensation do you have?" Shen Qingyin looked at the old lady coldly.

The old lady patted her chest and promised: "As long as they are willing to withdraw the lawsuit, we will give them money so that they can live a good life in the future, which is better than their current difficult life..."

"Give silver? How much does grandma plan to give?" Shen Qingyin interrupted her.

Willing to withdraw the lawsuit? Give money?

What is sincere repentance? Acknowledging mistakes one by one?

It was obvious that the old lady just wanted to take the money and be done with it, and she had no remorse at all.

In that case, she accompanied the old lady to settle the account.

When the old lady heard Shen Qingyin ask how much silver to give, she showed a hint of excitement.

It seems that silver is indeed a good thing.

Even though I can't see Miaomiao's family, it would be useful to talk to Shen Qingyin.

The old lady lowered her eyes and looked at the ground in front of her: "Yin'er, you also know that in the past, our Shen family has always relied on a few properties and your father's salary to make a living, but now, your father's salary is gone... our Shen family doesn't have much property... and the ill-gotten gains your father got, all of them were voluntarily sent to Jingzhao Prefecture, not a single cent was left... I estimate that the only thing the mansion can take out now is only one thousand taels."

One thousand taels, the old lady said this while gritting her teeth. It was obviously difficult for her to say this number.

Shen Qingyin wanted to laugh.

Even the fans standing by frowned when they heard this.

The old lady kept talking about compensation money, but she cried poor all the time.

He kept saying that he wanted to save his son, but he was only willing to pay one thousand taels to buy his son's life.

She is truly an old lady who loves money like her life.

"One thousand taels?" Shen Qingyin asked back.

The old lady nodded and patted her chest and said, "That's right, as long as they are willing to withdraw the lawsuit, I will pay them one thousand taels immediately!"

Shen Qingyin smiled slightly: "Since grandma proposed to compensate them with silver, shouldn't we calculate it clearly before compensating them?"

After hearing what Shen Qingyin said, the old lady felt that there was even more hope.

"Well, let's calculate it. If it's really not enough, I... I'll add more."

Since there is a play, there is room for negotiation.

The one thousand taels she mentioned was not originally a fixed price.

Shen Qingyin nodded: "Okay, Grandmother, do you know that Su Wenjin originally had a shop, and that shop was burned down by my father's plan?"

The old lady shook her head blankly.

"If Grandmother doesn't know, then go and ask around. Once you find out, we can figure it out later."

"No need. It's just a shop. If it doesn't work, just count it as five hundred taels. Grandmother gave me one thousand taels, which is enough... The rest is compensation. If you think it's too little, I'll add another hundred taels..."

The old lady looked relieved after she finished speaking.

It turned out that he wanted money to open another shop.

It didn't exceed the price she had in mind.

Fans were dumbfounded.

The old lady is going to buy vegetables, she is really good at bargaining!

Shen Qingyin suppressed his anger and continued, "It's great that grandma is willing to compensate. However, the shop was a silk shop. When the fire broke out, it was filled with silk and satin, worth 150,000 taels. I wonder if grandma is willing to compensate?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady's face turned pale and her lips began to tremble.

"Ten, fifteen, one hundred and fifty thousand taels...Silk and satin shop?"

She had never seen such an expensive shop...

The most expensive shop in the Shen family was the cloth shop that Du's family brought as a dowry, but it was only worth three hundred taels...

Damn it, she originally thought that Shen Miaomiao was just someone her son brought home to raise like before... She never knew that this was related to the bandits...

However, after knowing Miaomiao's life experience, she should have thought of it earlier.

Su Wenjin must have been rich to be targeted by his son and the bandits. It's not surprising that rich people have a valuable shop...

I just said too much...

"Grandma, do you want to compensate me?" Shen Qingyin stared at the old lady and asked.

The old lady was so shocked by Shen Qingyin's question that she was speechless.

With so much silver, even if all the Shen family’s properties were sold, it would not be enough to buy one of them.

Let alone the industry, even if all the people were sold, it would still be far from enough...

What should she pay for?

"Yin'er, stop joking. Where would the Shen family get so much silver..." The old lady said with a bitter face.

"Are you kidding? Grandmother, I'm not kidding you. This silk shop is just one of the things you're paying for. Besides, how are you going to compensate for Su Wenjin's two legs? Whose legs are you going to use as compensation? Father's or yours?"

"Even if I lose my leg, what about losing my mind? Who in the Shen family wants to lose their mind? I can ask Doctor Feng to prescribe some medicine for me so that I can lose my mind after taking it."

"Also, which one of the Shen family members does grandma plan to let pay for Bai Xiaohua's life? Brother Yuanda or brother Yuanduo?"

"Grandma! Grandma?"

Shen Qingyin's question made the old lady's face turn red and she was speechless, unable to utter a single word.

Seeing that compensation was not an option, she fell to her knees and began to cry:

"Yin'er, it's grandma who is stupid... Our Shen family can't afford to pay... But he is your father after all, blood is thicker than water, you can't just stand by and watch him die! Grandma begs you!"

Shen Qingyin turned her face away: "Grandma, my granddaughter is really powerless to help you."

Seeing Shen Qingyin's direct and cold refusal, the old lady tried to continue talking about money.

"How about three thousand taels of silver as compensation? Even though it's not as much as the money from the silk shop, it's enough for Miaomiao's family to have food and drink for the rest of their lives. It's better than getting nothing at all... Besides, his shop wasn't burned down by your father himself..."

Shen Qingyin frowned and didn't want to talk to the old lady anymore.

Even Fan'er couldn't stand it any longer and reminded her, "Madam, aren't you in a hurry to buy some freshly baked cakes from Yuxiangzhai for the Madam?"

Shen Qingyin nodded: "Thanks to you for reminding me, I almost forgot."

Having said that, he stood up and left.

The old lady panicked and gritted her teeth and said, "Five thousand taels! There is no more... The Shen family must sell everything they have..."

Shen Qingyin pretended not to hear and was about to leave.

The old lady rushed over and said, "Since you don't want to help, can I borrow something from you?"
