Chapter 499: Apology

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The news that Shao Dalang would not limp was spread across the whole village. Only then did Ding Jincai and his brother, together with their parents, came to the Shao Family to apologize, with lowered heads.

Ms. Fang, Ms. Xu and Ms. Qiao were really displeased, especially Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu. They should have come to apologize the day before. But they simply rushed home after causing the accident, and Shao Dalang was not even carried back by them.

They came to apologize only after they heard that Dalang was getting better.

Ms. Fang sneered. “What a rare thing that you remember to drop by today! I thought you chose to forget about it.”

Ms. Xu was always quiet. But she added ironically this time. “I thought they would have been here yesterday!”

The two brothers of the Ding Family and their parents looked very embarrassed.

Ding Jincai’s mother forced a smile. “Apologies, they were too scared to face the matter. Both of us were furious with them. We scolded and beat them yesterday. But it was too late to visit you, so we come this morning. It is their fault, but please, don’t be mad…”

Ms. Fang found the behavior to be disgusting. But she snorted coldly, without saying anything more.

Eldest Uncle coughed. “It was an accident. No one wanted it to happen. Dalang is doing well and you have already apologized to us, so…”

Ms. Fang cut in. “So that is it? Luckily, my son is fortunate and strong. But when are you going to pay us the medical fees?”

Ding Jincai and his brother, as well as parents, were startled.

“Medical fees?”

“Yeah.” Ms. Fang said, “My son can’t just both suffer physically and spend money too! ”

Ding Jincai mumbled. “But we have no money. And you are so rich…”

His parents were silent but they showed the same expression.

Ms. Fang got annoyed and snapped. “You made a mistake, and you don’t even pay for the medical fees? It doesn’t matter if we are rich or not.”

“They did not do that on purpose!”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Then, if someone does not do that on purpose, they can also just offer an apology and leave?”

“Yeah, how can that be so easy and simple?”

Ms. Fang threw a look at them. “You pay half, okay?”

The Ding Family exchanged a look between themselves, at a loss of words.

They did not do it deliberately. But Shao Dalang did get injured because of them.

The Shao Family was already kind enough to let them pay half of the medical fees. There was nothing they could do, if they forced them to pay the full bill.

“Okay… then…” Jincai’s father sighed, smiling bitterly. “My sons made a

mistake, and we will cover the fees.’

Ms. Fang looked less annoyed and added. “You can pay us two liang first. I am not over charging you. Those are real costs. Else, you can ask Manager Qin at

Mingren Tang in the town about it.”

They believed what she said but they could not accept it.

Jincai’s parents tried to look poor and pleaded with Ms. Fang and Eldest Uncle about cutting the fees, which was turned down by Ms. Fang.

She did not care about the exact amount. She just did not like how it happened..
