Chapter 470: Do You Want to Reneg on Your Debt?

~4 min read 686 words

Ding Surong thought for a moment; she would likely have to live here for some time, so she couldn't leave herself without a single penny: "Eight hundred yuan?"

Hearing this number, Qi Shufang on the other end of the phone screamed directly: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

After what happened yesterday, Ding Surong was already extremely annoyed: "Will you lend it or not?"

Qi Shufang heard the impatience in Ding Surong's voice: "I can lend the money, but you must fulfill what you promised me before."

If she could see the person, Ding Surong would have wanted to strangle her, but she couldn't afford to care about that now: "Fine, I will think of a way later."

After all, she still hadn't figured out what happened last night, but she knew clearly in her heart that last night Liu Chuxue had definitely entered Lin Zi.

After hearing her affirmative answer, Qi Shufang said: "Wait there, I will have someone bring the money to you."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Surong sat on the bench at the post and telegraph office waiting for people, while her mind kept replaying what happened last night.

Before she could figure out the matter, someone came looking for her: "Are you Ding Surong?"

Ding Surong came back to her senses and nodded: "Yes, I am."

That person handed over a bulging envelope: "This is what Young Lady Qi asked me to deliver; please write me an IOU."

Ding Surong knew that Qi Shufang had other moves, but to get the money, she had no choice but to write the IOU.

She just had an extra thought, writing on the IOU that she received this eight hundred yuan because something went wrong while doing business for Qi Shufang.

However, the fact that the money-deliverer arrived so quickly made her realize that Qi Shufang, no, the Qi family, had considerable power; it would be best to avoid provoking them in the future.

Returning to the village with the money, she immediately found Liu Jiandong: "I borrowed the money, but you must write me an IOU."

Liu Jiandong naturally didn't want to write some damn IOU: "We are about to become one family; why not skip the IOU?"

"Liu Jiandong, what did you say to me yesterday? Do you want to renege on your debt?"

"I didn't mean that."

"As long as you don't mean that; if you want to take the money from me, you must write the IOU."

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll write the IOU, okay?"

It's just an IOU; anyway, the family has no money, so as for what can be repaid, that is hard to say.

On the other side, at Huaihua Village, Cheng Laizi's house was now in an uproar: "Mom, you make it sound easy; this isn't fifteen cents, nor is it one yuan fifty; it's one hundred and fifty yuan. If we really pay this, how will the rest of the family survive?"

"Didn't I just say that the second son is marrying into the Liu family? This one hundred and fifty yuan counts as you fulfilling your brotherly bond; from now on, everything in the house belongs to you, with no relation to the second son."

"You said that; don't try to go back on your word later."

Cheng Laizi's mother gritted her teeth and said: "Yes, I said it."

Just then, Cheng Laizi's eldest sister-in-law pushed her husband: "Go find the village cadres; since Mom said so, let's divide the family clearly today to avoid confusion later."

Cheng Laizi's eldest brother sighed: "Understood, I'll go right now."

The cadres of Huaihua Village had guessed yesterday that today would not be peaceful, so they arrived quickly; under their witness, Cheng Laizi received one hundred and fifty yuan, took out his usual bedding and clothes, and from now on would have no further ties to this family.

Seeing her youngest son standing in the yard carrying his things, Cheng Laizi's mother's eyes turned red directly: "Second son, live well in the future; don't just muddle through life anymore. Mom can only help you this far."
