He Ximei certainly understood Xiaofeng’s implication and said to Su Wenqing, "Wenqing, go call the police. It involves my son, and I’m not afraid of losing face today."
Su Xiaotao, what kind of person is she? Whether it’s about paying compensation or marrying her into the family, it’d damage Su Peng’s reputation either way.
Calling the police was the only option.
Su Wenqing nodded, "Okay, I also think it’s more appropriate to let the police handle this."

"We can’t call the police," Hu Xiulan shouted out in panic when she saw Xiaofeng leaving, "Xiaofeng, we’re all villagers here. For such a trivial matter, why call the police and make it look bad? Let’s do this, I won’t demand that your family marry Taozi into your household, just compensate us with some money. This incident is embarrassing for everyone. Besides, it was Pengzi who came to us on his own. We won’t ask for much, just a thousand or eight hundred would do."
