"Don't be outsiders, don't be outsiders, we are all one family!"
Ouyang Lan immediately beamed and regarded Qin Chuchu as his daughter-in-law.
She took out her mobile phone and said: "Xiaofan, mom's phone was broken. Can you see if it can be repaired?"
She was knocked down in the hotel and was fine at the time. Later she found that her cell phone was broken.
Ye Bufan took Ouyang Lan's call. This was an old mobile phone bought in the second-hand market. It had been used for an unknown number of years. At this moment, the screen was completely broken and there was no display.
"Okay, Mom, if you throw this phone outside and no one picks it up, why bother repairing it? You can just replace it with a new one."
Ye Bufan said as he took out the phone card and threw the phone into the trash can next to him.
"I've used this phone for so many years, and I'm used to it." Ouyang Lan said with some reluctance, "Even if you want to change my phone, don't buy an expensive one. I'll just use this old-age phone."
"No need to buy it, I've already prepared it for you."
Ye Bufan said as he took out the customized Rittal mobile phone and inserted the phone card into it.
Ouyang Lan took a look and saw that it was similar to his own phone, and asked: "You kid, when did you buy it? How much did it cost?"
"Not much money, 350."
Ye Bufan knew that if the real price was quoted, nothing his mother said would be used, so he simply omitted the following units.
"Oh! It's still a bit expensive. In fact, you can just buy a senior phone for 100 or 200 yuan."
Ouyang Lan said and took the phone.
Qin Chuchu next to her couldn't help but snicker, a 3.5 million phone call was too expensive at 350 yuan, and this old lady was like no one else.
At this moment, the phone in Ouyang Lan's hand rang.
Ouyang Lan glanced at the phone number, her expression changed slightly, and she took the phone and went out to answer the call.
Ye Bufan grabbed her and said, "Mom, just pick her up here and let me see what they can say!"
Even without using his spiritual consciousness, he could guess that the call must be from his uncles at home.
"This..." Ouyang Lan hesitated for a moment, then finally sat back and pressed the answer button.
Just as the call was connected, Ouyang De shouted: "Ouyang Lan, when did you learn to turn off your phone? You haven't answered my call for so long."
Ouyang Lan glanced at Ye Bufan, and then said: "Xiao De, my phone is broken..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ouyang De said rudely: "Okay, don't talk so much nonsense. How about the 10 million thing?"
Ouyang Lan said: "I haven't had time to discuss it with Xiaofan yet."
"There is nothing negotiable. I tell you, these 10 million must be given. Xiaohui's life is also worth 10 million.
We will wait for your return 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.
Ye Bufan asked: "Mom, what's going on with 10 million?"
"It's like this. Your uncle said that each of them will be compensated 2 million yuan for your aunt's death, and there will be another 2 million yuan for burial expenses."
Ouyang Lan also knew that his brother's request was too much. The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, until it was almost inaudible later on.
"Why are they still being unreasonable?"
Before Ye Bufan could speak, Qin Chuchu shouted angrily, "No matter from which aspect, people should not be given money after they die."
Ye Bufan said: "That's right. Ouyang Hui's death is entirely a criminal case and has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to bear the liability for compensation.
To put it bluntly, even if we have to pay compensation, it is not their turn to pay it. This is completely taking advantage of the situation and taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail."
Qin Chuchu said: "This is too bullying. You also charge 2 million for burial expenses. Where does this come from?"
Ouyang Lan seemed to be a child who had done something wrong, and said sarcastically: "Xiaofan, after all, they are my younger brothers and sisters, why don't you give them less?"
"Mom, why haven't you figured it out yet? Just think about it, do these people have any affection for you? If they treated you as a sister, they wouldn't have kicked you out alone back then."
Ye Bufan said, "If they are really good to you, like brothers and sisters, let alone 10 million, I will give them 20 million or 30 million, it doesn't matter.
But it’s not possible now, they are just white-eyed wolves and can’t give you a single point.”
Ouyang Lan said: "But..."
Ye Bufan said: "It's nothing to worry about. Mom, just leave this matter to me. Let's go back together tomorrow."
Ouyang Lan thought for a while and finally said: "Okay, Mom, I will listen to you."
Ye Bufan sent Qin Chuchu home, and the next morning, he drove Ouyang Lan back to Wufeng County.
Due to the poor road conditions in the county town and because he didn't want to be too ostentatious, he did not drive a Pagani but chose a Passat.
After getting in the car, Ouyang Lan said hesitantly: "Xiaofan, we haven't been back for a long time, why don't we bring them some gifts?"
"Mom, you agreed to listen to me and don't bring them anything. These people are all white-eyed wolves who can't get enough to eat. No matter how many benefits you give them, they think they are due and they won't be even half grateful.
You worked for them to go to school, married them wives, and even sold yourself for them to go to school. What was the result? What did you get in exchange?"
Ouyang Lan sighed and said no more. She knew that what her son said was the truth, but she was a kind person and never wanted to get into too much trouble with her younger brothers and sisters.
Ye Bufan didn't drive too fast and entered Wufeng County two hours later.
The old house of Ouyang Lan's family was left by the ancestors. Although it looks dilapidated after hundreds of years, it is located in the center of the city and has a large area.
Although it is a bit old to live in now, if it is moved, it will definitely cost a huge sum of money.
Ouyang De and others took a fancy to this, so they drove Ouyang Lan out after Ye Bufan's grandmother Zhao Caifeng passed away.
Zhao Caifeng had a total of three sons and three daughters, but when she was dying and critically ill, only Ouyang Lan stayed by her side to fulfill her filial piety. In order to treat the old lady, she also borrowed a large amount of debt.
Ouyang De and others not only couldn't see the shadow, but also didn't even pay a penny.
The old lady was heartbroken over this, and before her death, she directly transferred the ownership of the old house to Ouyang Lan's name.
But what I didn't expect was that just after the funeral for Zhao Caifeng, Ouyang De and others came to the door, claiming that it was only natural for a son to inherit his father's business, and that this house should be inherited by his son.
But Ouyang Lan was just an outsider and was eventually kicked out.
Ouyang Lan got used to facing her overbearing younger brothers and sisters, and did not argue with them. She came to Jiangnan City and opened a bun shop, and has been living alone to this day.
At this time, in the old house, all the brothers and sisters of the Ouyang family were gathered together for a meeting.
Ouyang De said: "When Ouyang Lan and the others come back, we will carry out the plan according to the plan. We should show some good looks first, and if the mother and son are sensible, they will obediently come up with 10 million.
If they are really tough and can't even come up with such a small amount of money, then it's no wonder that we carry out the plan and get the money no matter what."
Others nodded in agreement. At this time, there was a sound of motor in the yard, and Ouyang Zhi said: "The people are back."
