Case 4 – Xuling woods dispute:
Host: I’m here to solve the problem of scuffle caused by the dispute on woods between you two sides.Today we take the mediation as the means of solving the trouble, the mediation between you two sides.I’m the host.Li Qiaofang, WangQi you two are now here, right? The village government has set several sessions of mediation for you to solve this dispute, but you still have some disagreement.Now this case has been transferred to the township’s government.And we arrange a time for you to discuss this.So that we can solve this problem caused by the disaster for you as soon as possible.I hope you two can stay calm during the mediation.No quarreling, no shouting.Take the floor one by one.There is enough time for you to say it clearly.Besides, this case has caught our attention and we have made some arrangements.Now,take the time.Tell us the truth, Qiaofang.We have taken some investigations.If you don’t tell the truth, we’ll know you are lying.In order to solve the problem promptly.I hope you can tell the truth.Now you have the floor,Qiaofang.
Side A (Qiaofang): I’m shameful that the dispute between WangQi and I has caught the attention of the leaders of the township.The village government has tried to solve it,but we still have some disagreements.So I’m sorry to have the host arrange a time to solve the issue for us.Things like this: I live in the Group 2 of TieChan country in the JinXi Township.TieChan village dispensed a woods at a place called DaWanzi to me.This woods is divided from the wooded hill by a path, which is connected to the road to the township.Previously there are only small trees on the hill, but now there are woods.Trees can be cut down to use.
Side A (Qiaofang): I’m shameful that the dispute between WangQi and I has caught the attention of the leaders of the township.The village government has tried to solve it,but we still have some disagreements.So I’m sorry to have the host arrange a time to solve the issue for us.Things like this: I live in the Group 2 of TieChan country in the JinXi Township.TieChan village dispensed a woods at a place called DaWanzi to me.This woods is divided from the wooded hill by a path, which is connected to the road to the township.Previously there are only small trees on the hill, but now there are woods.Trees can be cut down to use.Er...It was that two days, 5th and 6th.During that two days, wind and rain was very strong.My pigsty and cattle pens were destroyed by the wind.I thought pigs and cattle would have no place to live in since their pens had collapsed.What shall I do? So I ask some people to help me to cut down trees to rebuild the pens.When we were doing that, everything is quite normal.But after a while, he ran over claiming his ownership to the trees I just cut down.My pigsty and cattle pens were destroyed so I decided to cut some trees to fix it.But WangQi insisted that the trees I cut down were his.How come! These trees were still young, just planted when I was first here.But I do have read the certificate of the wood’s ownership.It says that the trees on this side of the path belong to me and the trees on that side belong to him.The path is there.So I take it for granted that the trees on this side belong to me.My pigsty and cattle pen were destroyed so I decided to fix them.But he came to claim his ownership to those trees and took my cutting tools away.I tried to stop him, so the scuttle broke out.The other people who help me cutting trees tried to separate us, but they couldn’t say who is right or not coz everyone has his or her reasons.But he insisted I had stolen his trees.I claimed that the trees were from my wood.So for this issue, we start quarreling.WangQi seized my collar and I seized his clothes.We pushed and pulled; he is male and has greater power.Soon we fell down from a place one meter from the horizon.My waist got hurt and twisted; my leg also got twisted.I can’t even stand up.My relatives had noticed my families and I quarreled with him again.He might feel sorry to me and quitted the quarreling.Everyone came to give hands to take me home.Later I was sent to the hospital of the township.It cost me more than 200 yuan.But the village government didn’t solve this properly.So that’s the case.We hope that the town leaders can give us justice.The key point is that who has the ownership of the woods on that path, he or me? Anyway, I’ve known that the woods belongs to my family since I first came here as a bride.The trees were still young at that time.I’ve seen the certificate.It says that the trees on this side of the path belong to me.Everyone walk along the path when they go to the market.So everyone can prove that.But he insisted that the trees belong to him.I think he is extremely unreasonable.He even said I stole his trees.Anyway…that’s all.
Host: Ok, Qiaofang has finished her statement.Now it’s the time to hear LiuQi’s statement.WangQi, what’s your problem? We can check it if Qiaofang has told the truth.Now, it’s your turn.
Side B (WangQi): Here is my statement.At that time, she’s cutting down my trees, so I came to stop her.Not only did she refuse to stop, but also she uttered dirty words.So the scuffle broke out.She was hurt, so was I.I was also taken to the doctor’s.There are still some scars on my body.I had been receiving treatment from a doctor.The previous wood’s ownership certificate says the boundary is a path.However the path is not the path she considered to be the boundary but a deserted path on the hill.We have consulted some old people such as the retired village leader.They have a clear idea about this.The village government had taken a investigation.We hope that the town leaders can do some investigation.So, that’s all.
Host: Have you brought the certificate of wood’s ownership here?
Side B: Yep.It says that the boundary is a path.
Host: Are the two certificates the same?
Side B: Yes!
Host: It seems that your statements are mainly about the scuffle caused by the uncertain ownership of those woods and the medical costs.Qiaofang’s costs are more than 200yuan.WangQi was also hurt.Anyway, where did you get hurt?
Side B: I hurt my waist when I fell.The medical cost is more than 100yuan.
Host: 100yuan.Qiaofang’s is more than 200yuan.It seems that what you were scrambling and arguing for at that time is those and the boundary of the woods.And you two sides both said that the boundary is a path.But now, the argument is the previous path is not at the same place and the boundary is the deserted path.However, the path which is considered to be the boundary is a new one.Is that right?
Side B: Yes.
Host: Qiaofang.In WangQi’s opinion, that path you considered to be the boundary is not the deserted path.Although that path is covered by grass, there must be some vestiges.Now we will come to check it if what LiuQi said is the truth.
Side A: Anyway, I have known about this path when I was first here.The deserted path is not known by the people.What the certificate says is “the path is the boundary”.People have walked along this path to the market for seven or eight years.That is so called “the path is boundary”.My point is the woods on this side of the path is mime, but he says they belong to him.
Host: Now that we have checked that WangQi’s statement does exist.The deserted path is indeed a main path at the past.Although it is covered by grass, the path is still there.Your argument and misunderstanding is so called“the path is the boundary”.The woods only have more than 10 pine tress and several trees were cut down.WangQi claimed that those trees belong to him.So the key point is “the path is boundary”.Qiaofang, you came from other place, so you may be uncertain to the deserted path and the so called”the path is boundary”.Same with WangQi, because you are not too old to know the problem clearly.What you were arguing about is how the boundary was divided.I have got the main idea from your statement.In the past, the old path is the boundary, but now new path is there.People think that the old path is the curve,a little bit long.In order to take the shortcut, they walk through the woods.A long time has past, the shortcut in the woods has become a main path while the previous one was covered by grass and deserted by the people.Now you have the certificate.I have seen it.It says “the path is the boundary”.But you two sides have different opinions on this.One’s opinion is the deserted path and another one’s is the new path.Today we need to solve the problem whether the boundary is the new path or not.If this problem is solved, then this dispute about the ownership of that woods would be solved.Because this dispute was caused by disaster, the town government have notice this and we did some investigations.The public order supervisor also did some investigations.The conclusion and the document of the investigations are here, you can take look.Also we have contacted with the retired village leaders.They are still alive.We have got some information from them.The information shows that the boundary is the path at DaWanzi.The new path is the shortcut.Here are the documents.You can have a look at them respectively.Then… Besides these documents, we still have some kept original evidences, which should the boundary is the deserted path, not the new path.So the woods belong to WangQi.We should face the facts and history.So the ownership of this woods belongs to WangQi,so does the right of yours.I believe Qiaofang didn’t cut the trees deliberately.She has her reasons: she doesn’t know if the boundary is the new path or not.So she isn’t guilty for her cutting down several trees carelessly.According to the evidences, these woods belongs to WangQi.Do you have any objection, Qiaofang?
Side A: Sure! It has being 7 or 8 years since I first came here as a bride.From then on, I have being taking care of the woods, cutting down some trees for fire woods or doing something else.If we want to do it, we can.We also kept the trees from being stolen.But he didn’t even care about it.So everyone believes that the woods belongs to me.In the woods, I take care of my cattle and cut grass.Unexpectedly, someone claimed that the woods belongs to him I don’t know the truth.My husband was not in.He is working as an immigrant worker in the city.I don’t know whether what you said is the truth.The certificate says that the boundary is the path.I take care of the woods.You can see that I just planted some young trees.I cut the big trees and plant the young trees.But he has never taken care of the woods.You can inquire the families newly moved here.They have been watching my managements.They all believe the woods belongs to me.That’s to say the woods on this side of the path belongs to me.Some people who newly moved here all saw that I was working in the woods, doing managements.But he never came.As soon as I cut several trees to fix the pens, he claimed that the trees belong to him and called me a thief.That is absolutely a slander! He even beat me! I am totally confused.
Host: WangQi, have you taken care of the woods?
Side B: Er…… It grows.I never care about that.There are all kinds of grasses.The trees had grown up slowly since I got the ownership.
Host: WangQi, have you taken care of the woods?
Side B: Er…… It grows.I never care about that.There are all kinds of grasses.The trees had grown up slowly since I got the ownership.
Host: Have you stopped her from cutting trees for fire woods?
Side B: I don’t even know who did this.
Host: Didn’t you ever try to ask?
Side B: I didn’t know who did this until she said.
Host: Maybe in your village the fire woods are not valuable.So there’s no one to interfere.
Side B: That’s right.It’s easy to cut some branches fire woods.Not all the fire woods are from my own woods.
Host: That’s it.The village government has tried to deal with your issue.But you still you’re your own claims.Now, you should obey the adjudication of the town government.Investigation has been taken.By those two public order supervisors, they have been your village to consult the retired farmer’s leader.He is now an old man aged more than 70, but his statement is solid.In the past, the village government gave you the ownership of the woods.The principle is “the path is the boundary”.The path is the deserted path.Now, there is a new main path which is considered to be the boundary.But the dispute broke out.According to the investigation, the boundary is the deserted path.So those woods belong to WangQi, Qiaofang you may have some objections, but you should face the fact and history.The path has been changed.You should face the result of the investigation.If this trouble can’t be solving now, these would be move similar dispute.If someone cuts some branches, there’ll be some troubles.If someone cuts down some trees, there’ll also be some troubles.Now I’ll give you the adjudication.I hope you can take a cordial negotiation.If it doesn’t work or you still have some disagreements, then the adjudication can’t be given.In our adjudication, the ownership of those woods is WangQi’s.Qiaofang wasn’t deliberately to cut down trees in these woods.Because she came here as a bride and know only a little about these woods.She only knows “the path is the boundary”.So her action can’t be considered as stealing.“Steal”is not a good word.If you use it frequently.It would easily make some troubles.Now that the trees have been cut down to fix the pens.So this is a issue of compensation.There are cut trees.So that’s the problem.And another problem is the medical costs.I think there’s no need to argue who has the ownership of those woods.The evidences are there.We should face the face and the result of investigation.So no arguing about the ownership.What’s your opinion about the cut trees,WangQi? Anyway.Qiaofang have done that.Tell us your opinion.
Side B: If she didn’t cut down those trees, they would be still there.Although she can return to me.It’ is far from enough.
Host: Qiaofang, you may still have some objections to the adjudication.But your objection will be overruled,because we can’t give the ownership to you.The adjudication is made by the town government.If you disagree with this adjudication, you can transfer this issue to higher rank administration to solve it.According to our investigation, the result of our investigation and the fact,if you don’t trust our mediation, you don’t trust it, you can report to the higher authority or file a lawsuit.This woods problem, our town government, according our investigation, affirms that the woods belong to Wang Qi’s family, and this point, I don’t want to restate, Because of this, if you don’t agree, you can keep your opinion.She just cut down several trees, and she had already chopped.The wood should belong to Wang Qi’s family.But Wang Qi,just said, trees had already been chopped.The trees are going to grow up, and our purpose is to do something good to all and keep harmony.Trees have already been chopped,you say the hen can lay the egg but if the egg lay the hen ,it is impossible.I think Qiaofang is not intentional, she also has certain reason so she went to chop it.Maybe the reason doesn’t make any sense, but she was not intentional.Now she has already chopped seven or eight trees.These trees are not very big .One of my suggestion is to see what you will do, one way is to retgurn your woods, and the other is to covert it into money.It’s up to you.
B side: I originally wanted to say, if return my woods or convert it into money, I wanted to keep them to grow up,now they have been chopped ,even return them to me as they were, certainly I don’t agree.
Host: How about Qiaofang’s opinion?
A side: I don’t agree, either.I chopped several trees from my own woods to use, what’s more, I grow some little trees in the woods, but he grows nothing.Now, the town government thinks, according to the suggestion of the old village leader, and the old branch secretary, they belong to his family, you mentioned this, but I do not agree.Although he said something, but I am not sure whether what he said is true or not, and this….anyway, I still doubt about this and I am not sure that we takes the new path or the deserted path as boundary.This new path exists for seven or eight years, oh, and I have been always here growing trees, and none of you come out to say something.Now, oh, he jumps out to say it belongs to his family; the investigation of the town government turns out it belongs to his family.Anyway, I think the woods belong to my family, but you said it belongs to his family, I am curious.Taking the path as boundary, I am wondering if the paths in the woods count or not?
This path is the main one, in the past seven or eight years, we go to the fair, go to the hill or what ever, all should pass this path and it has been here for such a long time.I went to see the previous path by myself and grasses have already been on the path.Just go to have a look at that path, if take my new path or the deserted path as boundary?
There are people in the town government, go to the local people to get some information, what you know is true or not, now I still doubt, because when you divided the woods, I was not here, neither was my husband.Oh, as for this, now I can’t tell clearly if the woods belong to your family or my family, no matter the management or chopping of the trees for use, no matter what I can do, I have done.Anyway, I chopped some branches of the trees to cook dinner or cook the pig’s meal, no matter what, I have been chopping trees to use, and in the past, no one came to say anything.
All you know that, and all people know that.Now here,you jump out to say the woods does not t belong to my family, it belongs to Wang Qi’s family, I can’t accept it at this moment.But you said I chopped, so you asked me to pay for the trees, if according to the town government’s disposal, indeed the woods belongs to my family, so I don’t need to pay any money.I don’t need to pay so much money,on the contrary, if all the leaders of the town government think it belongs to Wang Qi’s family, so I can only ….the trees have been already chopped, I don’t chop other’s trees, I only chop yours, the woods have already been chopped, but I grew some little trees in it, they are all yours now.When they grow up, there will be many trees.If you feel that you have gown so many years, your family did not managed it well and did not to take care of it, so you can give me suitable amount of subsidy.
Appropriately speaking, if we can solve this matter,that is good.Lest we always entangle with that problem and can’t calm down to do our production or other things.
I want to know your family’s opinion and you see the trees have been chopped, so that’s to say, the woods, and the woods takes the little path as boundary.Actually whether it takes the little path as boundary, or takes the main path as boundary, today we just listen to the town government’s opinion, and in the future if our investigation turns out that it doesn’t belong to my family,so you should return my money, the woods should also be returned to my family.
Now if according to town government's decision, this woods belongs to your family, so let’s deal with the problem as it belongs to your family.You have chopped those trees, less than 8, only 7.For the comparatively bigger ones, it should be counted as 7.These 7 logs,anyway, after the disaster, the pigsty was broken down,trees are needed to repair it.You do not keep your pigs, so if they run to others ‘fields to destroy the vegetable and the crops, the problems will be more serious.Or we trigger some things which is not good for harmony, so you should repair your pigsty.It’s up to you, oh how much money should I pay? Even I go to borrow I have to settle this problem and to buy these woods.
Host: Wang Qi’s attitude just now in my opinion is reasonable.She is also rational and she is very sincere.Actually she is not intentional, there may be some misunderstanding.That is to say, at that time whether path is taken as boundary or not, she is not very clear, and we can see she is very sincere.As for the trees, they have been chopped,Wang Qi’s should show your attitude towards these chopped trees.Would you like to get some money and how to convert into money, you two families should decide by yourselves.
And Wang Qi, although Qiaofang has chopped your woods without knowing the circumstances of the matter,but Wang Qi was, you are supposed to stop the wood chopping in time.If you can stop it in time, the village government should not come to solve it.You should not snatch the chopper, causing the scuffle.Later, the injury caused by scuffle is due to Wang Qi’s impulse.You also made certain mistake.Therefore I think you both two families from peace and the wish to solve this problem, do not distorter the question and pester with each other all the time and it will make the problem harder to solve.The town government also feels difficult to solve this problem for you.This is the problem between you two.
At present the basic fact is just good, the evidence is also ok, the court also feel tough to solve the problem for you.Finally, it’s the village government that solve the problem fro you, how about Wang Qi’s opinion? Do you like to covert the wood into money or want your wood.
B side: Let’s make the discussion easy, it’s ok in any case.In any word, the pigsty of his family was indeed broken down,but they need to use.if we talked with eachother in a friendly way earlier, we will not force to chop.It is not a very big problem, these trees grow up, and nobody takes care of it.Let’s make the discussing easy, it is very easy to reach an agreement...
Host: Look at the wood, the family truly needs this wood,truly repair the pigsty, and the trees have been already chopped, so covert them into money.Because give the wood to you, you don’t need the wood, and you will use it as firewood, it’s a pity, that’s to say, she chopped 8 trees,actually calculated as 7, because one of them doe not grow up, only can be used as firewood, so we calculated as 7,how much do you want for 7 logs?
B side: Anyway, this is fair and reasonable.(https://www.daowen.com)
Host: You give a price, give one.
B side: It’s ok anyway.The leaders in any case are all here,you can give a reasonable price.
Host: I think your 7 logs, 30 yuan each.I just give you suggestion, you can see if it’s reasonable, if you think it’s not proper, you can have a discussion.30 yuan for each log,only 7 logs, if we covert it into money, it is 200 yuan, do you have any question?
A side: 30 yuan for each, is too expensive, In our village,things like woods not very big can by no means be worthy 30 for each.Bigger woods is used to make beds, and other things, all those are small, those are not big, they are used to repair the pigsty….
Host: I say this ...
A side: Big wood I do not want to chop, I just thought these woods belong to my family, bigger woods, I don’t want to chop, I want to use it in the future…I do not want to chop the big trees, I thought these trees belong to my family, I should care, because I thought I was not stealing others’, so I chopped the big ones.I thought these are not big enough, this grow comparatively slowly.These woods I chopped, oh, to repair my pigsty, the bigger ones I wanted to sell, so how much? My point is, you think if the pigs will run away.Cattle, you see, are tied to the fence, oh this, no shelter, pigsty, should be made better,so I just chopped these 7 logs, In places like here, 20 yuan is far more enough, I…I chopped my own trees to sell, I sell at most 20 yuan, that big one can be worthy 30 yuan, these are the small ones.
Host: This, the wood’s problem, I suggest 30 yuan each, the other side suggest 20 yuan, because now what those mines collect are crosstie.Now Wang Qi you say, 30 or 20, anyway,how much do you want.
B side: I think, 30 yuan each one is enough, this, we all don’t refuse, this is the fact, fair and reasonable.
Host: 30 yuan each, so 7 logs is 210 yuan, we discuss how about 200 yuan, 200 yuan, because at present, these mines collect crosstie, the price is too high.When collecting the wood in the past, maybe it was not worthy so much, and now mostly the mines collect the wood, the price has been raised, so, 30 yuan, Qiaofang suggests 20 yuan, actually it’s close to your price, these 7 logs, 20 yuan each, these 7 logs amount to 210 yuan, I see Qiaofang’s opinion, we can reach an agreement on the wood problem, and the other thing is about medical expense.
A side: I can give him 150 yuan at most.If he agrees, we will just end the problem.If he doesn’t agree, just forget it; I will just wait for my husband coming back and then let my husband talk to him.I can not make things clearly to him.
Host: All are neighbors.Wang Qi suggested 150 yuan.If it’s not because of the scuffle between you two, you can just take the several logs as relief for the pigsty.Her pigsty was broken down because of the wind, so you should gave them a hand.So she suggested 150 yuan.
B: What he said is not right.You cut them down, that’s ok, but you still want to control me, and that’s impossible.
A: The trees that I cut down were in my woods.
Host: I suggest that we not talk about that.That goes too far.Now you should just accept the suggestion by the town government, because the government did some investigation and reviewed some ancestral books.The ownership of the woods is definite.It belongs to Wang Qi.But Qiaofang cut down the trees for some reasons, not deliberately.Then, it comes to the argument about 50 yuan.I think, in my opinion, you two parts should make a concession.We have narrowed the problem down, just to the 50 yuan.Taking it as help or as donation, no matter it belongs to whom, or just because of your generosity, your problem now is just the argument about 50 yuan.Well,there is another problem.That is the medical cost.As for the medical cost, I counted the amount of money on the receipts from Qiaofang , that is 235 yuan, right?
A: The 235 yuan is only the cost in the hospital.I bought two prescription of herbal medicine at the gynecologist, which cost me 100 yuan.You can check it.
Host: Well, I advice, usually we…
A side: I did get hurt.The doctors in the hospital earn money by their reputation.I often got painful, so I went to doctor Chu and got some herbal medicine, one for bathing and one for medicinal liquor, which cost me 120 yuan.For this, you should…If you didn’t beat me and hurt me, I wouldn’t need these.How should you pay for my pain?
Host: Now comes to the medical cost.As the usual custom of our town, which complies with the local police station and court’s way, we only admit the formal receipts that are made out by the county hospitals, at least the town hospitals.So cost at Doctor Chu’s is another problem.It’s hard to say clearly.You can tell how much you spend, and he can tell how much he spends.It’s hard to make the whole situation clearly.So we’d better rely on the evidence.When it comes to the hospital, the receipts made by the hospital should be concerned.You have handed in the receipts.According to our investigation, it’s 235 yuan, but the cost at doctor Chu’s can not be included.So that depends on Wang Qi, depends on Wang Qi’s attitude.If Wang Qi would like to afford that, we have no objection.Furthermore, according to the town government’s opinion,we usually don’t admit a village doctor without receipts.How about you, Wang Qi? How much did you spend on medical cost?
B: It cost me 120 yuan.I went to the doctor’s.At that time,the village leader asked me to write it down and wait for settlement.
Host: Where is your receipt?
B: I have brought it.
Host: Where are the receipts from? Show me.
B: Ok.
Host: By the town leaders?
B: The village leader asked me to write it.At the village clinic.
Host: That’s 120 yuan at the village clinic.Now my opinion is that we usually don’t admit the receipts by the village clinic.As for your 120 yuan, it’s not too much and it’s hard to say.Qiaofang just now said it cost her 120 yuan at the village clinic.We don’t admit all these cost the ones by the formal hospital.Now, we’ll not admit your receipts.And also the town government has made investigation.It’s clear now.The woods belongs to Wang Qi.We should comply with the fact and history.It belongs to Wang Qi.The medical cost, and your 235 yuan…The 120 yuan , which Wang Qi spent, is not on the receipt.Even if you make up for it, it doesn’t work.We have thought about it, the 235 yuan, well…well… Wang Qi was responsible for that at that time.I think you were a little impulsive, not calm enough.Even if someone was cutting down your trees, you could stop him but you couldn’t take extreme action.Surely it would cause scuffle.But you didn’t mention this.So it was your fault that the problem was not solved appropriately.So now, your 120 yuan, as the way that many other villages solve the dispute, which is in terms of the receipts by the town hospital, now it comes to the 200 yuan for the wood.The 235 yuan, the medical cost, it, it should be admitted.Qiaofang, should compensate for the wood, 200 yuan.Then,Wang Qi should afford the medical cost, which is 235 yuan.
A side: That’s not enough for me.He hurt me, and my two children are left alone at home, and my husband is not in,he is working for others in cities.These days, I couldn’t work.I had to ask my aunt for help.I lost the working time for these days.How should you pay that?
Host: In my opinion, well…
A side: You see, it was about a week.I couldn’t even move when I was in the bed.How about the compensation for the loss of working time?
Host: I think, in countryside…
A side: There is compensation for loss of working, and nutrient food, and hurt in cities.For me, more or less you should give me some.For we are in countryside we don’t need too much for nutrient food.To eat some expensive food.My two children are too young to work, so I have to ask someone for help for several days.Would you please think about me? I can’t even move from my bed now.He knows this.His wife came to visit me.I really can’t even move, and it’s the fact that I delayed my work for several days.The compensation for loss of working should be included.
Host: In my opinion, you’re neighbors.Generally speaking, to deal with this kind of dispute, we’d rather focus on chief points than trifles.If every little problem or detail is considered, it will do no good to mediation, then it will be harmful to harmony.Of course, it has already happened.As you can see the town government deals with these kinds of things usually in this way.The medical cost that you should pay is unavoidable.Our village leaders and the town leaders delayed so much work particularly to solve your problems.How should you pay for that? Don’t we town leaders come particularly to solve your problems?And the village leaders as well? The village leaders are not paid, and they worked for several days for you for free,worked for several days for your dispute.You can’t value everything in money.It can’t be valued by money.Therefore you should make a concession and give less thought to it.I think your dispute is not so large now.The key point is the ownership and right of using the woods.The town government investigated it, particularly, for several days.It’s not a big thing, to prevent disputes like this.You two families should get along well with each other in the future, and help each other no matter it’s a big or small offer.You shouldn’t break off for this generation and also the next.If you break off just because of this little thing, it’s too absolute.I suggest you two parts should be magnanimous and not square accounts to the smallest detail.You can say that you hurt.I can say I hurt too.Finally, the only problem is money.I think you should follow the town government’s suggestion, that is don’t concern too much about the other things but the woods, which is 200 yuan, and the medicine expense , 235 yuan.The other cost, like the cost at the village doctor’s,the town government will not check it.What’s more? We don’t sanction it.Even if you go to law, it can’t be sanctioned as evidence.So now, 200 yuan for woods and 235 yuan for medical cost.Wang Qi should compensate for 35 yuan.
Host: Just think about Wang Qi and his 100 yuan.It’s true that his head is still bandaged.Surely his wound was made by both you and him.But his 120 yuan is not counted.
A: My back also hurts.It’s so painful, especially on the rainy days.His wound is visible, while mine is invisible.
Host: It’ll depend on Wang Qi.What the town government can do is done.
B: I’ll follow the government’s suggestion.It’s better that we can make concessions.If nobody wants to compromise, I do not care how it can be done
Host: You see, well, my opinion is to give you advice, should you make a concession or not, it’s your own decision.She talks about this, because indeed her pain is more serious.She can’t do anything and actually her relative is here.The ownership of the woods, now, definitely is yours.You’ll not compensate too much, 35 yuan, can you compensate more?
B side: Of course not.She didn’t compensate anything for my medical cost.It should be paid equally.
A side: Ok,ok, you usually… The government has spent so much time in dealing with the matter.We should…We’re neighbors, for our unity, anyway, surely we’ll contact in the future.So I will follow the government’s resolution.
Host: That’s not a resolution.It’s mediation, in the dispute of woods between Qiaofang and Wang Qi.In the future,Qiaofang can’t cut firewood in the woods without Wang Qi’s permission.It belongs to Wang Qi.As for the medical cost, Wang Qi should afford the 235 yuan for Qiaofang.The 8 logs, which is 200 yuan……
A side: 7 logs…..
Host: 7 logs, 200 yuan, should be afforded by Qiaofang.The result of the mediation is, Wang Qi gives 35 yuan to Qiaofang.Wang Qi, do you have money now? If you have,we can just pay it now.
B side: I don’t have today.Two or three days later, I will pay money for it and I’ll keep it in mind.
Host: Ok, that’s it.Today is 25th, on 28th; you bring the money on 28th.Then, Qiaofang, you come here on 28th too.Although 35 yuan is not much money, and you aren’t lack of 35 yuan, however, it’s an ending.Don’t quarrel in the future.Hope you will not break your promise.Ok, that’s all.
B side: Ok.Thanks a lot.
