Driven by the desire to keep the peace, a crew member tried to talk the child's parents into seeing reason. Surprisingly, these parents were quite understanding, seeing as Huo Longjiang was only a child, and after giving him a slap to vent their anger, they decided not to pursue the matter further.
So the crew member brought Huo Longjiang over to Xu Lian.
The moment Xu Lian saw her son had been hit, she immediately became upset, grabbed Huo Longjiang, and made a scene in front of the child's parents. After a heated argument, the child's parents probably felt embarrassed with so many people watching on the train, and resolved the issue by compensating five hundred yuan for medical expenses.
Xu Lian returned to her seat with the five hundred yuan, feeling as if she had won a great victory, and was quite pleased with herself.
"If it was just this, and those people were willing to settle with money, they shouldn't be the type looking for trouble, so why would they poison anyone?"
