At that time, Meng Lingmei's brother, unable to squeeze through the crowd, picked up Meng Jingfen's backpack that had fallen on the ground, unzipped it and as a prank, dumped the contents out. Many things fell to the floor, but most noticeable among them were two bundles of money.
Of those, one big bundle was clearly ten thousand, and the smaller one amounted to at least a thousand more...
Meng Qinghua moved quickly to pick up the money and stuffed it into her own handbag, then shouted, "Stop arguing, what's done is done and can't be undone. Let's talk about the compensation Meng Jingfen owes Lingmei."
Everyone knew that continuing to fight was not to their benefit, so they silently let go and found places to sit.
