Chapter 259 Just to Save Face?
Qin Hongfei looked at Li's father. Just when everyone thought she might continue to stab people, she suddenly relaxed, and even her expression softened a bit, bringing out a smile.
This scene was very unexpected, and Li's father was a little unprepared.
Qin Hongfei ignored everyone's surprised eyes, and said in a straightforward and cheerful tone, "Uncle Li, you don't have to pay compensation. It's just a hundred yuan. My sister is playing with it. Our eldest house can still afford it. And I'm not an unreasonable person. I was like that before because I was angry and wanted to ask for an explanation for my sister."
After speaking, she looked at the neighbors again, smiling well-behaved and sincere, "I'm sorry to disturb all the uncles, aunts, grandparents, and grandparents in the middle of the night."
Some neighbors were indeed not very happy at first, but when they saw Qin Hongfei's soft words, they immediately felt that it was not a big deal, "It's okay, it's not even nine o'clock, and everyone doesn't go to bed so early."
"Yes, it's good that the matter is resolved."
"You girl, you look I didn't expect you to have such a tough temper. I underestimated you before. "
Qin Hongfei looked at the person who was talking. It was a widow nearby. She was often talked about for being tough. She smiled and said, "Grandma Yan, what's tough or not? It's just reasonable. If it was really my sister who did it, then my family should compensate and apologize. There is no doubt about it. If it wasn't my sister who did it, people would throw dirty water and accuse her like this, so we must talk about reason. What do you think?"
Widow Yan smiled and looked at Grandma Qin and said, "This child is good. He is not aggressive and will not suffer losses and keep silent. This is good."
Grandma Qin heard the compliment and smiled with mixed feelings. You didn't see her pouring gasoline on people. Forget it, let's not talk about this.
But she was really surprised.
The little girl was so tough just now. Everyone thought she would continue to be tough, but unexpectedly she softened suddenly and knew how to advance and retreat! Grandma Qin is very proud of this, of course, she won't show it.
The Li family also didn't expect it, especially Li's father, who was a little stunned because his plan failed. He originally wanted to save his reputation by spending a few hundred yuan to avoid disaster. Once Qin Hongfei received the money, the matter would be mostly worth it and would not have a big impact on the Li family. However, Qin Hongfei suddenly changed her attitude.
Then the nature of this matter is different. The Li family is known for bullying other people's children.
Qin Hongfei did not miss the slight change in Li's father's expression. She probably knew what the other party was thinking.
Is it a big loss to smash a hula hoop worth a hundred yuan? It is a loss, but if you want to get money back from the Li family as compensation, then you will lose both your wife and your capital. The reputation of being strong, aggressive, and greedy will fall on Qin Fei and her.
On the contrary, Father Li will get a good reputation of being decent, considerate, and peaceful. After all, it was Grandma Li who did the wrong thing. Father Li is so decent, he apologized, compensated, and has a successful career. Can you not praise him?
Qin Hongfei would not do such a loss-making business.
It is said that face is the most useless thing, which is easy to restrain oneself, but why should we lose something that can be had? If a matter can be solved in a way that does not cause trouble to oneself, why should we go around and cause trouble to ourselves just to save face?
You say that face is the most useless, but sometimes it is the most useful. With it, things are easier to do.
You say that people should not care about other people's thoughts when living in the world, just be happy and free.
But this idea is unrealistic. You, a flesh-and-blood person, can never really become an emotionless animal if you have a little conscience. If people lose their emotions, morals, bottom line, and awe, they will easily make mistakes.
