Chapter 810: He vomited blood (

The Zhang family arrived suddenly and left gracefully without any hesitation. Wu’s father was frightened. The Zhang family actually went to their knees to beg someone to tell them who Lingling’s old sweetheart was. At that time, the Zhang family will have to intensify the quarrel?

The most important thing now is to let things go and ignore his wife. He chased after her in a panic: "My mother-in-law, we have done this for more than ten years." If you have something to say to your in-laws, let’s sit down and talk.”

“Who is your in-laws? Wu Lingling’s mistress’s mother is your in-laws. I just don’t know if that woman is willing to be like you. Shameless people become in-laws."

Grandma Zhang sighed and didn't stop. Zhang Qiuxiang scolded her as she walked: "What nonsense, the bitch girl you raised said she won't divorce without compensation, her concubine It’s amazing, I think the official is so powerful that he didn’t even take us seriously and let you bitch girl not get divorced. He has a strong taste and likes to fuck other people’s wives, not divorced old women.”

"Tch, the mistress of a slut must be blind. She likes a slut like Wu Lingling. Wu Lingling doesn't know how many men she has slept with. She is worse than a slut."

"She's probably a slut. Good guy B is different from others, which makes him feel very happy. He’s still not tired of it after sleeping for more than ten years.”

The Zhang sisters were still worried about the people watching the fun, and did not make any vulgar remarks in the countryside. They all moved out, and they only talked about it occasionally, which was equally unpleasant, making everyone in the audience feel blushing.

Father Wu was humiliated again, his old face turned blue, his lips trembled, he opened his mouth, stunned She couldn't say "I have something to say".

Wu Lingling was so angry that she clamored for no divorce and no compensation. She wanted to threaten the Zhang family and make them anxious, and then negotiate to lower the price. Unexpectedly, the Zhang family She didn't buy the bill and just left. She was frightened for a moment, especially when she saw the embarrassed look on the man's face. At that time, Director Huang knew that something bad was going to happen, and sure enough, the Zhang family had no scruples at all. The Zhang family was vulgar, but not stupid. He was still very afraid, not of the Zhang family, but of Le Yun and the people behind Le Yun.

The women’s vulgar words were unbearable. Huang Ju’s face turned purple, and he secretly hated himself for his obsessive talent back then. I would sleep with Wu Lingling, just sleep once, I don’t know which nerve went wrong, I found it very exciting, so I didn’t stop. Now the retribution has come.

I was so angry that my liver was on fire, and I couldn’t even yell out loud on the spot. Holding it in tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulged so high, and his temples were beating violently.

The Zhang family didn’t buy it, the man’s face was gloomy, and Wu Lingling was panicked and extremely angry. The corrupt ones shouted: "I will compensate, I will compensateZhang Ke wants 200,000 yuan, and I don’t want the Zhang family’s savings either, and then we get divorced. ”

A woman’s shouting came from the Wu family’s upstairs, and the crowd of onlookers knew that it was true that the Zhang family said that the Wu family girl worked as a mistress for an official, and now there was evidence against the Zhang family. In her hands, the Wu family woman originally wanted to default on the bill, but she had to compromise because she was afraid that it would cause trouble and be detrimental to her concubine.

As soon as the Wu family bitch opened her mouth, the Zhang family laughed, but did not stop. , Zhang Qiuxiang shouted at the top of her voice: "Didn't you say we won't make amends or leave? Two hundred thousand, you can keep it to buy perfume to wash down there, wash it clean, lick your mistress, and make your mistress feel comfortable. When your mistress is happy, she will think of ways to suppress us. Anyway, what a bastard you have. Years ago, you hired a murderer to beat someone up, but your concubine suppressed the matter and let the person being beaten get a beating in vain. You bastard didn't even do anything wrong.

Your concubine is like you. You have served your concubine so well. He will definitely be willing to use his power to suppress the matter of justice for our Zhang family. If we go to court to sue, you Ask your mistress to bribe the judges, reporters, and lawyers to rule in your favor. Or directly arrange for thugs to cause a car accident on our way home or on the way to sue, or have people beat us until we are hospitalized. By then, our family members will not be able to appear in court, and you will win the case. "

People who don't know the truth: "..." It feels like there are many more inside stories?

Mr. Huang was so angry that there was smoke coming out of his head. What on earth did Wu Lingling do? What happened made Le Yun even remember what happened a few years ago, and why did he dig it out and let the whole village know?

When the story about Grandpa Yun's manipulation that indirectly caused the Le family's elderly man to fall to death was revealed, whoever was next to the Wu family would post it on the Internet, and it would cause public outrage. It would be difficult for the public not to intervene. Plus Le Yun's relationship, even It may alarm higher-level attention.

He was so angry that he stretched out four fingers to Wu Lingling, indicating that she would increase the price. The price could be as low as 400,000, which was acceptable. It was better to spend money to eliminate disasters than to make netizens upset. It would be better to make an explosion.

Wu Lingling was also frightened and almost burst into tears: "I will pay 300,000 yuan. You smashed my house and the loss must be at least 100,000 yuan. We don't want you to compensate us. Pay 300,000 yuan and stop scaring my parents. They are too old to be scared. "

"Bah, your mother and I are older, but my mother is not older? My mother is two years older than your old man. You shamelessly stole from a man and pissed my dad off to death. Why don't you have the shame to say it? Zhang Qiuxiang cursed loudly, then turned around and shouted: "Mom, let's go. Hurry up and charter a car to go home. We will rush home while the people in the village are not at work, and let everyone support us on the way to Lejia." ”

The Zhang family nodded in response, cursing and continuing to walk.

Wu Lingling was even mad at her.Father-in-law? Director Huang was so angry that the muscles on his face were trembling. How blind was he, so he didn't see the stupid woman clearly? He still believed that she said she didn't offend Le Yun. Was it because Le Yun had a grudge against her?

"Four hundred thousand, this is all the money my family has." Wu Lingling was afraid that Zhang Qiuxiang would say anything again, so she told the price of compensation herself and cried out: "My family only has this much, how long do you force me?" I'll kill you, and you won't get anything."

"It has nothing to do with us whether you die or not. We agreed on a one-time price of 600,000, and you can't lose a penny. You have slept with countless men. , now the whole village is poking at the backbone of the Zhang family. Our sister’s family is also affected by you and the whole township can’t hold our heads up. We are being magnanimous to you without asking you for mental damage compensation. Why the hell are you still here? I don’t know what is good, and we are crying about poverty. Are you crying for the mourning of your parents, or the mourning of your concubine’s family?

Your Wu family has been cheating on marriages from the beginning. If you die, you will also have to pay compensation. , your concubine allowed our family to raise a bastard for nineteen years. Your concubine must pay compensation. If you die, do you think we can't find your concubine? You used to bully my brother at every turn, find a reason to come back. My mother-in-law had a tryst with your mistress, and now she is threatening us with life or death. Damn it, if you have the guts, just die and show it to everyone.

Only a ghost can believe you when you say that the Wu family has no money, Wu The eldest grandson of our family is buying a house in Han City, which costs more than one million at least. Not to mention that Wu Lingling’s mistress didn’t give you the money. The Wu family is enjoying the benefits from your sale of B, and asked my brother to help raise wild species and help you. A concubine raises a woman, and now she is still pretending to be poor and complaining in front of us suffering masters. Do you think we are still as easy to control as before? Mom, let’s go, don’t waste time with her."

Zhang Qiuxiang She is the backbone of the Zhang family's debt collection team because of her sharp tongue. With her alone, the team only needs to wave the flag and shout, and do little things, and does not need to quarrel with the Wu family.

Father Wu and Mother Wu were so angry that their faces turned blue and purple, and they were so angry that they died and came back to life. When they saw the onlookers pointing at them, they wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. .

Wu Lingling was refuted by Zhang Qiuxiang and cried loudly. Just when she was so angry that she could no longer talk, Brother Ang opened the door to the ward and walked to the bedside with a dark face with bulging veins: "Lingling , to compensate them according to the compensation price of 600,000 yuan they said, they must write a contract and pay after getting the divorce certificate."

The brother came in to negotiate and agreed to accept the compensation of 600,000 yuan. Wu Lingling was stunned; her sister Silly, Angkor took the phone from his sister and negotiated by himself.

Director Huang had a cold face and said nothing.

When Zhang Jing heard her uncle’s voice, she was so frightened that she almost threw away her phone. Six hundred thousand, but her uncle actually agreed to pay six hundred thousand to her father and the others? When did grandpa's family become so rich?

Grandma Zhang and others heard a man talking and agreed to pay the amount of compensation proposed by their family., stopped with satisfaction, and especially admired Zhang Qiuxiang. They originally thought that it would be good to ask the Wu family to compensate two to three hundred thousand, but Zhang Qiuxiang doubled the compensation.

Hearing Wu Lingling’s brother’s voice, Zhang Qiuxiang stepped in and cursed: “Ah, Wu family boss, you MB have a good idea, you are planning to wait for my brother and the bastard to complete the divorce certificate , your whole family will immediately escape with the help of the rotten concubine, right? Then the Zhang family will not be able to find even half of the ghost, and we will suffer the loss of being dumb, right?"

Angkor gritted his teeth. Question: "What do you really want? I only agreed to pay half of the money first and pay the other half after the divorce certificate is completed. I don't believe you. I will pay you all the money before my sister gets the divorce certificate. Will you get the money?" Applying for a divorce certificate will blackmail my Wu family."

"Hahaha, our Zhang family is not as shameless as your Wu family. The whole family of your Wu family, young and old, helps the Wu family girls to be officials. The lover is a mistress, and our Zhang family cannot do anything to let the girl sell her sex and enjoy wealth for herself." Zhang Qiuxiang cursed before getting down to business: "First return my brother's bankbook and cash that Wu Lingling stole, and pay my brother first. Five hundred thousand, the remaining one hundred thousand can be paid after the divorce certificate is obtained, and the last one hundred thousand must be paid on the spot after the divorce certificate is obtained."

Whether he was scolding the Wu family for being shameless for Wu Lingling's sex with an official, Angkor was so angry that his arm muscles were shaking, or whether he was controlling the urge to kill someone, gritting his teeth and talking: "We don't have the Zhang family's bankbook that my sister is in charge of." Yes, my sister doesn’t want a penny from your Zhang family. She will compensate you 400,000 yuan first. This is the limit I can accept. You want my family to pay 500,000 yuan first. If you want to take the money, run away and continue to blackmail the Wu family in the future. No?"

"Bah, bah, bah, you are talking nicely now, saying that you don't want a penny from my brother's family. Previously, that bastard Wu Lingling took away my brother's bankbook and said that he would share half of the family property. , bullying my brother to be honest, right? I don’t think about how she, a woman who cheated marriage, stole a wild man and gave birth to a bastard, has the face to want my brother’s family property. She thought her face in front of the Zhang family was the same as her B in front of her concubine. Is it valuable? Now that it makes no sense, just pretend to be generous and say that I don’t want a penny from my brother’s family. It’s up to you to say good things and be a good person. Your face is bigger than your butt.”

Zhang Qiuxiang first mocked The elder of the Wu family put his hands on his waist: "Boss Wu, you helped your sister to sell B as a cover. You know how much benefit you got. Don't tell us the limit. Pay five hundred thousand first. This is what my family can accept. limit, otherwise you must first pay the compensation and then go for divorce."

"You..." Angkor was so angry that his blood rushed to his brain, his brain was buzzing, and there was a risk in front of his eyes. Xingxing, I can't even breathe, let alone yelling back and swearing.

　"Why, you're breathing so loudly, is your sister and her mistress having sex again? Shameless, your sister is sleeping with a wild man and you are still watching, isn't that right?Three people sleeping together? That woman Wu Lingling went behind my brother's back and asked her father-in-law to sleep with someone else. She was shameless and made my father very angry. You brothers and sisters are shameless, and you won’t feel ashamed if we sleep together. ”

The people watching the excitement also heard the sound of people breathing heavily. They didn’t think about the wrong way at that time. Then they heard a woman squealing and yelling, and the whole building suddenly turned upside down, all kinds of YY, Many people looked at Father Wu and Mother Wu with amusement in their eyes.

Sniffles kept coming and going.

Father Wu knew that from now on, whether on the street or in Jiudao, The Wu family could no longer raise their heads. Their hearts were trembling and painful. They squatted down holding their heads, their shoulders trembling. After a few seconds, they squeezed out a heart-breaking cry from their throats: "What a sin-"

He shouted, holding his head and sobbing.

The Wu family's face was crushed into mud by the Zhang family, and Wu's mother covered her face. , wailing and crying.

Hearing his father’s painful cry, Angkor shuddered as if he was electrocuted. He was angry, angry, resentful, annoyed and angry, but had nowhere to vent his pent-up energy. De's chest rose and fell sharply, and the muscles on his face twitched. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Woman, my sister was at fault. My family admits it and is willing to bear the fault and compensate Zhang Ke. Don't go too far. Rabbits bite people when they are anxious." , we are in a hurry, none of us can think about it. ”

“Isn’t it true that a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry? Are you jumping? Everyone in your family, young and old, has even done that kind of thing, and you still don't want anyone to talk about it? Your whole family teamed up to help Wu Lingling have a tryst with her concubine. You deceived my brother and deceived my family for 20 years. My brother suffered for 20 years and was a cuckold for 20 years. You enjoyed the benefits of Wu Lingling's concubine behind my back. Twenty years later, are you still saying we are going too far? Where did we go too far? Are we sleeping with your wife and making you a cuckold? Are we asking you to help raise wild beasts? Or let your girl sell B, let your son be the duck, and we enjoy the benefits behind the scenes? "

Zhang Qiuxiang didn't care whether the Wu family was angry to death. She spat wildly: "Wu, you made money under the care of your sister's concubine and made a bulging pocket. You can sell your sister for sex. The advantage of coming here is that you bought a car and a house, and you have been in the limelight. Now that others know about it, your Wu family has lost face. You damn dare not vent your anger on your sister and your sister's mistress, for fear that your sister's mistress will not cover up in the future. You can't get any benefits from me, so you take out your anger on us, bully us because we have no backing, and bully our family because no one will be a slave to the officials. You are as shameless as your sister. Maybe your sister's concubines are open to both men and women. , you and your wife have both been slept with by an official. Maybe even the grandchildren of the Wu family are not necessarily from the Wu family. Otherwise, how can that old woman Wu Lingling be able to hold on to an official? The whole family of brothers, sisters, aunts and sisters You serve an official, so the official protects you, acts as your protective umbrella, and uses money to support your family. ”

The woman’s mind was open and she said whatever came to her mind. She spitted saliva and the men and women watching were all shocked., Father Wu and Mother Wu slowly sat down, crying until their noses and tears kept flowing, and their voices were sad.

Angkor was holding his sister’s cell phone, and he was so angry that something surged up in his chest. He tried to suppress it with all his strength, but he couldn’t suppress it. A hot stream of heat rushed up to his mouth and surged outwards. There was a burst of heat in front of his eyes. I was dizzy, my body swayed, and I fell down.

Bang, the phone fell from my hand and hit the floor.

The Angkor man leaned back and bumped into another hospital bed, causing the bed to tilt to one side with a bang. His waist hit the hospital bed before he sat on the ground, subconsciously holding on to the hospital bed with his hands. , the person was still trembling, and a mouthful of blood poured out of his mouth.

When her brother threw away his cell phone and fell over, Wu Lingling first opened her eyes and felt stupid. Then she cried and pulled off the anti-inflammatory injection in her hand. She rolled off the hospital bed and threw herself at her brother's side. When he saw blood on the corner of his brother's mouth, he was frightened: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Brother, don't scare me, ugh..."

Huang Ju was sitting, but he was so angry when he saw Angkor After falling to the ground, he quickly stood up and walked around the bed to see what was going on. When he saw blood pouring from the corner of Angkor's mouth, he was frightened. He hurriedly got a tissue to help Angkor wipe the blood.

There was a loud ringing from the mobile phone. Zhang Jing was so frightened that her hands froze. She heard her mother’s panicked voice and shouted nervously: "Mom, Mom, what’s wrong with uncle? What’s wrong with uncle..."

When she heard no reply, she grabbed her phone and cried "Wow".

Father Wu and mother Wu were frightened by the crackling sound, but when they heard their daughter’s screams and their granddaughter’s cries, they burst into tears.

The onlookers were shocked, feeling like something had happened?

The Zhang family also looked at each other. The Wu family wouldn’t be so careless, right?

Zhang Qiuxiang was stunned and sneered: "Is it true that I am right? If so, I can only say that the Wu family is really chaotic."
< br />The Wu family was in chaos, and the Zhang family did not leave. They stood watching the show, watching the two old men burst into tears, and the Zhang sisters laughed particularly happily.

Angkor was so angry that he sat on the ground and didn't respond for a while. When his muddled brain cleared up, he loosened his clenched teeth and spit out the blood in his mouth, regardless of the fact that there was still blood in his mouth. The smell of blood urged his sister: "I can't die yet. Let's go back and write a divorce agreement and compensation agreement with Zhang Ke, pay them compensation, and send them away."

"I listen to my brother. "Wu Lingling has no master, so she doesn't have any ideas. Her brother will take whatever he says.

Mr. Huang picked up the phone. The screen was cracked, but it was still usable, and the call was still on. He handed it to Angkor. Angkor took the phone and shouted to him: "Zhang Ke, wait. , my sister will be here soon, you write the divorce agreement."

She shouted and hung up the phone.He leaned weakly on the hospital bed, the muscles on his face still trembling: "I only have 200,000 in the bank."

"I prepared 300,000 for Xiaojing. Originally, I wanted to wait for Xiaojing to graduate and buy a house. The down payment or as a dowry for her, I will pay it all now. For the missing part, I will ask the family elders to allocate some money to make up the amount. I will transfer it to you in a moment. You go first to stabilize the Zhang family. I am afraid that the family will never be able to do it again. If you allocate money to me for personal use, it is impossible to buy another house for Lingling and Xiaojing. You sell the house here and buy a house in other counties."

Huang Bureau's face was gloomy: "Le Yun is not what she used to be. The old man in my family can't do anything to her. He dares and can't do anything to her anymore. The most he can do is help reconcile this matter. It's impossible for him to spoil Lingling. With the old man in my family, he can't do anything to her. I won’t let Lingling and Xiaojing off lightly. After you handle Lingling and Zhang Ke’s divorce, leave Shishi and go somewhere else to avoid the limelight.”

Wu Lingling burst into tears, Bang If her brother's family didn't protect her, wouldn't she be going to jail? If Brother Bang doesn't give her money to buy a house, where will she and Xiaojing live, and where will their daily expenses come from?

Angkor swallowed all the humiliation, nodded, and tried to stand up while holding on to the bed. His waist was sore and his chest seemed to be empty. He no longer bothered to take a X-ray examination. With a floating step, he told the nurse that there was an emergency at home in bed number XX. He would go back to deal with it first and then come back for the injection. After explaining clearly to the nurse, he turned around and went downstairs.

Wu Lingling cried a few times, grabbed her handbag in a hurry, chased her brother in a panic, and followed her downstairs to go home.

Mr. Huang didn’t go out. He stayed in the hospital bed for a few minutes before going downstairs. He went to the bank first and transferred the money from his personal card to Angkor Wu Jianguo’s card. After the transfer, He hurriedly went to the county public security bureau to inquire about the specific details of yesterday’s incident.

When Grandma Zhang and her children and nephews heard the Wu family shouting that they wanted to write a divorce agreement immediately, they were happy to wait, walked back to the outside of the Wu family store, and randomly found something to use as a bench. Waiting for Wu Lingling to come back.

When the sisters of the Zhang family sat down, they took out their mobile phones to talk to their sons and nephews, asking the young people to help explain how to sign the divorce agreement and other issues.

The onlookers did not leave. They came to the side in small groups and talked about it. Others pointed at the Wu family. Wu’s father and Wu’s mother were shameless and hid in the house with their faces covered.

Zhang Jingsheng was afraid that the Zhang family would run upstairs and beat her, so she opened the door softly and went out. She climbed back to the third floor and huddled in her room like a turtle.

The hospital where Wu Lingling lives is not far from home. Although the streets in the county town are lively, there are no traffic jams like in big cities. The brother and sister can get home in a few minutes.

Angkor was afraid that the Zhang family would damage his car, so he parked it far away. He also took a steel pipe and took his sister to his home. He saw people standing outside the house watching the heat.The person who made the fuss had a gloomy face.

When the Zhang family saw Wu Lingling coming back, they stood up and stared at Wu Lingling fiercely; Zhang Ke pursed his lips and said nothing, only stared at Wu Lingling, clenching his fists tightly.

When Wu Lingling saw Zhang Ke’s appearance, she was so scared that she hid behind her brother. When Angkor saw that Zhang’s family was about to quarrel again, he was so angry that his heart trembled: “If you still want compensation, don’t make a fuss. , negotiate peacefully, and if you continue to curse, the worst is for everyone to die."

"Tch, you think we love to curse when we have nothing to do. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again in our 15th year, and we still want to celebrate the festival. It was you who prevented our family from having a good holiday. If Wu Lingling had not gone so far, she would not have forced us to come to the Wu family to seek justice."

Wu Lingling, whose facial features were invisible and swollen into a pig's head, rolled her eyes: "Damn it, I feel sick when I see rotten people. It's bad luck to talk to rotten people during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

The Zhang family He also spat in disgust. When the bystanders saw the woman with a swollen face like a pig, they were surprised, pointed, and started talking among themselves.

So many people were scolding her for being shameless. Wu Lingling was so angry that she cried. She held her brother's hand tightly and was led into the Wu family. When she saw that the department store was smashed to pieces, her brother and sister were so angry. His eyes were red. Such a lot of goods cost at least a hundred thousand, and they were all ruined! If it's ruined, you can't ask for compensation, you can only admit that you're unlucky.

Angkor’s face was so dark that he could squeeze out ink. He crossed the shop and went to the second floor at the back to get his bank card. He also asked his sister to get the Zhang family passbook in her hand.

Wu Lingling sobbed and went up to the third floor. She went back to her room, found out the bank card and some cash she had taken from the Zhang family, took it in her hand and went downstairs. When she went to the second floor, she saw her brother waiting for her. , following behind his brother.

Angkor took his sister out of the house and outside the store, and asked his sister to return the passbook to Zhang Ke in front of others. Zhang Ke received the deposit and cash. Zhang Qiuxiang was not easy to talk to: "The money in the passbook I don’t know whether it has been taken away or not, and I don’t know what the password is. My mobile phone is also bound to Wu Lingling’s junk. I have to go to the bank to check the number and contact another person to change my mobile phone number.”

“Sign Go and get the divorce agreement, and the compensation will be paid to you in the bank." Angkor had a sullen face and took his sister: "Go and print the agreement."

"Just leave, who is afraid of whom. "The Zhang family swarmed over and went to find a place to print the agreement.

The two families were like enemies, neither one talked to the other. They found a printing shop that also advertised, and a group of people went in. Zhang Qiuxiang immediately took out his mobile phone and asked to write according to the terms of the agreement he had written. protocol.

Print a copy first. Angkor Wu Lingling read it over and her face turned green. The Zhang family’s agreement was clearly written, which meant that the woman cheated on the marriage and asked the man to help support her and other people’s family.If the child is born out of wedlock, both parties agree to divorce. As the faulty party, how much should the woman compensate the man, etc.

The Zhang family’s strong request must be written in accordance with the agreement they said. No matter how angry Angkor was, he had to hold his nose and admit it. After research, there were no other pitfalls, so he could only agree to print according to the Zhang family’s agreement.

Four copies were printed, one for the man and one for the man. The witness from the man’s and woman’s family kept one copy, signed it, fingerprinted it, and each kept their own copy before going to the bank.

The two families rushed to the bank and asked for blank paper. The Zhang family first wrote the receipt according to the Wu family's request. Zhang Ke opened a new account, asked for two cards, and transferred the information on the old passbook. The money was transferred to the secondary card of the new card and the Wu family transferred the compensation to the new card.

Angkor transferred money from his bank card to Zhang Ke with a cold face, took the bank receipt, and asked Zhang Ke to check the account. When it was printed and confirmed that the money was in place, he took a photo with his mobile phone to keep the certificate. He took the receipt from Zhang Ke and made an appointment to go through the divorce procedures on the first day of work after the National Day. Angkor took his sister home with a gloomy face.

The Zhang family walked out of the bank, looked at the angry backs of the Wu brothers and sisters, whistled and cheered: "Finally let out your bad breath, let's take a walk and go home for the holidays!"

"If I get rid of the stinky woman, my brother can find another woman to have children as soon as possible..."

The Zhang family went to the station with the fruits of victory, 600,000, they were rich! If they had known that the Wu family and Wu Lingling's concubine were so rich, they should have asked them for a million in compensation.
