"Old Tang, Hao Tong's family is just getting by; she can't afford to pay the 100,000 yuan."
"If she can't afford it, then why did she resort to violence?" Tang An was furious, "They're adults, college students, yet they argue and smash each other's belongings; what kind of behavior is this? Old Liu, I know what you mean, but a violin worth 100,000 yuan - is it something I can simply say doesn't have to be compensated?"
Tang An was also enraged. Xia Shi was always a troublemaker, and her mother was not the type to smooth things over. Previously, Mu Jiawen hadn't done anything to her yet she still wanted to find fault, let alone now when someone else initiated it.
Teacher Liu wanted to say that Xia Shi was the first to provoke verbally, but then he thought that this statement wasn't very helpful. After all, the one who acted first was the most at fault.
But if you're the first to act, then just be the first to act. Can't you just push her a bit? Why smash her belongings?
