Chapter 68 Comepensation That Costs Ten Thousand
Song Ye had cut off her relationship with the Song family long ago . Regardless of lawfully speaking or from the perspective of the bonds they shared, she would not be scared even if they made a ruckus in the school to have her quit school . With her willingness to harm herself in this case, it was just so that she would be able to claim back whatever that originally belonged to her .
At first, the Song spouses continued lying and concealing the fact,
“What stuff are you talking about? We know nothing of it . Don’t you lie to others . When you were picked up by us, there was nothing on you and now don’t you think about taking something away from us . ”
The reason they sounded so reasonable was because that item was taken away from Song Ye when she was but a mere infant . It was impossible that she ever knew of it .
Song Ye who was fifteen years old may not know, but the thirty years old her knew very well about this fact,
“When my mother left me behind, she gave me a name with only one word, which is ‘Ye’ . That is my mother’s family name . What was left with me at that time was a piece of jade plate with the word ‘Ye’ engraved on it . It is now currently nlt worn by my foster mother Lu Lan . ”
After she finished her sentence, Lu Lan was seen covering her chest in reflex and subconsciously stepped backwards,
“What, what nonsense are you talking about . I did not take anything that belonged to you . This is my family’s heirloom, it has nothing to do with you . ”
“Hmph, what family heirloom are you talking about . When you married from the mountains, I was the one who brought you into the Song family . Your maiden house prefers male over female, so they gave you no dowry . Then where would your family heirloom come from? That item obviously belongs to the child . ”
The old folks in the village jumped out to be the witness and reveal Lu Lan’s lie .
On the other hand, the police had checked the files and found that the guardian of Song Ye had changed was indeed the truth . She was indeed the surrogate daughter under Zhao Zhen’s name .
“Since this child is not part of the Song family anymore, you should return what belonged to her . Or would you prefer to have me lock both of you up under the crime of purposefully attacking a minor only then will you be more obedient?”
The chief was extremely displeased with what the spouses had done and pointed towards the custody room at the back to deal with the things according to the procedures .
Hearing that, Song Yuan Zhi shook his head immediately,
“No, no . I will, we will return the item . ”
He can’t afford to be put into jail . If this was by chance spread out, no other job units would take him in . Considering the consequences, he directly turned over and pulled Lu Lan’s collar and tugged out the jade plate,
“The item is here . I will return it, right here, right now . ”
Seeing the jade plate fall into Song Ye’s hands, Lu Lan leapt over to snatch it as if she was possessed but was pushed onto the floor by Song Yuan Zhi . She immediately started to cry,
“You heartless man . You had promised to give this to me at that time . You said you will give this to me if I raise that bastard . I raised the bastard for you and yet you still took the jade away from me . ”
“Enough . ”
The chief was so annoyed he was getting a migraine . He shouted and the frown on his brows were very deep,
“Bastard, bastard…… The child is innocent . With you abusing her that way, aren’t you afraid of retribution? And now you even dared to make a ruckus here . Let me tell you, even if the child has nothing to do with the Song family anymore, both of you still need to compensate her for the damage caused . Make, make it ten thousand and let the child have a checkup if her hands are alright or not . ”
“What? Ten thousand!”

Hearing that, the brain of Song Yuan Zhi erupted .
“Why, or would your rather be penalized by going to jail?”
For causing the child to face such a thing, as a father, the chief had wanted to teach him a lesson long ago .
Song Yuan Zhi dared to bully the weak and afraid of the strong immediately surrendered and gritted his teeth as he took out his precious saving slip to state an amount of ten thousand for Song Ye right in front of everyone .
The amount of ten thousand was basically an amount so huge that a family with average salary wouldn’t be able to saved in ten years . When giving it out, Lu Lan became dumbfounded .
But now no matter how desperate or pitiful her cries were, no one paid her a mind .
The Song spouses were not living quite well after compensating for Qiao Yue’s medical expenses and the restaurant’s money, they planned to have Song Ye dropped out of school to work . But in the end all of it failed . Not only did they need to return the jade plate, they also needed to compensate yet another ten thousand into it .
Song Ye who entered the police station with a pitiful appearance immediately displayed her usual cold appearance . Grabbing onto the jade plate in her hands, she knew that there would be a great change in her life this time .
Because she was one step too slow, she had let that woman’s puppet get ahold of this jade plate and was admitted as part of the family . With the jade plate in her hands this time, she wanted to play with them slowly .
“You got hurt on purpose was just so that you would be able to get this jade plate?””
In the car, Yun Hua felt sorry for the injury on her forehead, but she was not able to hold in the words within her heart,
“With your current power, if you wanted to get something, there’s no need for you to do it in such a roundabout way . ”

Even with just one word from her, she could easily cause the downfall of the Song family .
Looking at the murderous intentions in her eyes, Song Ye lightly shook her head,
“The wounds on my body are not something that can be compensated long ago with only money alone . The most excruciating experience one can go through is to grab hold of their weaknesses, and Song Yuan Zhi’s weakness was his pride and money . ”
After this incident, for sure these Song spouses would not dare to raise their heads in the village .
The grudge that was held on for this long was all finally paid back at this moment .
The wound on Song Ye’s forehead allowed her to receive advanced holiday, so her holiday will go on until the next year . The homeroom teacher had even called over to care for her . The words she received were mostly of consolation and it had let Song Ye feel warmth . She then thanked the homeroom teacher sincerely and gratefully .
The end of the year was coming near and all sorts of lanterns were hung outside houses . Every family out there were busy cleaning up their house and decorating it with calligraphy . It was the first time Song Ye and Yun Hua were celebrating new years properly . Both of them anticipatingly went to buy all the new year groceries . It was to the point that when Zhao Zhen came to visit them, his lips twitching at the fact at how the whole house was basically covered in red .
On the thirtieth day, one day prior to the new year, they spent it at Zhao Zhen’s house to enjoy dinner . Song Ye had only entered the kitchen to help out, but she ended up making one whole table worth of luxury dishes . Everyone in the Zhao family was so shocked their jaws dropped .
Yun Hua was used to this and after preparing the utensils for Song Ye, she smiled and said:
“The first time I got to witness Song Ye’s culinary skill, I had the same expression as everyone here . Hurry and give it a try . It is not any worse than the other places . ”
Under the promotion of Yun Hua, Zhan Zhen tried it and found it to be way better than Tian Xin Restaurant and he immediately felt very impressed with this amazing girl,

“I would like to know . Song Ye, is there any other things that you do not know of?”
After thinking for a little,
“I do have . ”
“What is it?”
Everyone curiously perked their ears .
But when they asked further, Song Ye had only smiled and said nothig .
The dinner that was enjoyed prior to the arrival of the new year was something Song Ye found to be the most delicious . Although she was the one cooking it, with different people, atmosphere and changes in emotion, it had made the smile on her to be particularly bright .
“For the new years after this, I hope that we can always sit here together and enjoy the new year gathering dinner . I hope that the days will be better and better . ”
In between their meal, Zhao Zhen raised his cup and the others followed .
With orange juice in her hand, Song Ye also said,
“The days will be better and better . ”
She believed that in the future, it will be a wider world for her .
