Out of duty and procedure, the police officers tried to persuade both parties to reach a settlement, which would save them trouble as well.
After hearing the police officer's analysis of the pros and cons, Liang's mother started to get scared too.
She was getting on in years and did not want to deal with a lawsuit.
What scared her more was the possibility of the incident affecting her sons' jobs and futures.
But she couldn't swallow her pride to reconcile and could only make eye signals to her daughter, Liang Xiling.
Liang Xiling, anxious to diffuse the tension, spoke up for her mother, "Officer, we don't want to cause you trouble, we're willing to settle."
Seeing the mother and daughter relent, the police officer turned to Shen Hongmei and Zhao Dafa.
"I'll listen to her."
Zhao Dafa's attitude once again gave Shen Hongmei a warm feeling.
This time she was determined to give the Liang Family a lesson.
Did they really think she was a pushover to be squeezed as they pleased?
