"At worst, we can compensate them. An old shack, at most, worth twenty taels of silver."
"What if Sun Junyan decides to sue? The Sun Family did take quite a beating," Tong Sanlang asked.
"In that case, we drag it out. It's tough for an impartial official to mediate in domestic disputes. If we really can't win the argument, then we'll just let Hua Xiaofeng serve a few days in jail. As long as she is compensated generously, she'll comply."
Qiao Xiaomai insisted that she hadn't schemed against Hua Xiaofeng. Today, she handed Hua Xiaofeng a set of gold jewelry. If Hua Xiaofeng ends up in jail after all, she would be willing to compensate her with silver.
"The 'Daqi Law' has guidelines on this matter," said Tong Sanlang. "Expect a sentence of less than ten years."
"This family used to be so naive. Based on the beating that Sun Family gave to Zhuang Lühe, they would've been sentenced to life by now," Qiao Xiaomai sighed with regret.
