Chapter 165: I’m Not Familiar with You

Chapter 165: Chapter 165: I’m Not Familiar with You

In the battle of words, Yu Jingting had never lost.

Leaving the Yu Family members speechless with his verbal attack, the atmosphere fell into a stalemate. Finally, Yu Tiecai, the eldest son of the eldest uncle who had yet to speak, said, "Tiegen, if you really refuse to talk about family ties, then we should talk about money."

This was the true purpose of the Yu Family’s visit.

Yu Tiecai pulled out an IOU from his pocket and unfolded it.

"You wrote it yourself, clear as day. You remember, don’t you?"

Red-faced and out of breath, the second uncle, who was driven to a fury by Yu Jingting, hurriedly took out his IOU from his pocket.

"Right! Pay your debts!"

"Demanding repayment for just-borrowed money?"

Yu Jingting glanced over the IOUs, the corner of his mouth turned up in a smirk.

Unable to see clearly from the stairs, Suizi’s heart pounded in her chest anxiously.

If both families had not tampered with the IOUs, her plans would be all in vain.

Yu Jingting gave Suizi a look, just one look, and Suizi felt reassured.

The look in his eyes told Suizi she was on safe ground.

The IOUs must have been tampered with, Suizi sighed in relief.

"If you were wise, you would give up your land, hand over the cattle, or else, we would take these IOUs to the village chief and complain. You owe my family 1160 yuan, you owe your second uncle’s family 1160 yuan. That’s a lot of money. If you don’t pay, expect to be put behind bars!"

Upon hearing this figure, Wang Cuihua jumped up.

"How much?!"

Yu Jingting truly did write an IOU, but it was for 160 yuan per family.

Both families were ruthlessly audacious - they added a number one in front of the initial sum, turning the three-figure debt into four figures.

"1160! Trade your land to pay me off!"

"And bring the cattle to my house!"

Yu Tiecai and Yu Tiefu, one following the other, both spoke firmly - this was a sum of money they had never seen before. Holding the IOU, they felt as if they held the world in their hands.

"Yu Tiegen, if you don’t repay the debt today, we will report you to the village chief and the police..... Huh? What are you laughing at?"

Wang Cuihua was slapping her thigh, laughing so hard that tears were about to spill out.

Running to Suizi, no, she practically sprinted to Suizi, pulling her into a tight embrace.

"Oh, my Suizi! Hahaha!"

While laughing, she kept patting Suizi’s back.

"Could your fourth aunt be going crazy? Are we perhaps going a bit too far?" Yu Tiegui asked in a whisper.

"Even if she’s going crazy, she deserves it." The old granny was also afraid of driving people mad. After all, if they went crazy, they might not be able to get the land or the cattle.

"How did you get so lucky?" Wang Cuihua was so excited she could have kissed Suizi’s forehead.

Look at her adorable, lovable daughter-in-law!

"A chubby daughter-in-law brings prosperity to her husband’s family. How true these words are!"

"Mom, I’d be even happier if you didn’t call me fat," Suizi said softly.

"Hahaha! This chubby face, it’s so festive!"

Wang Cuihua’s overly enthusiastic actions left the Yu Family dumbfounded.

A debt of over two thousand yuan was enough to crush any family. If placed in any other household, it might even drive those with fragile mentality to hang themselves or drink poison.

Yet, Wang Cuihua was not crying, but laughing, if she hadn’t lost her mind, what else could it be?

"Yu Tiegen, you don’t honor your elders, don’t value family ties, you must settle this IOU today!" The old granny urged.

Despite everything being a part of Suizi’s plan, the sight of these cold-hearted people still disgusted her.

The old granny was so ruthless towards Wang Cuihua and her kin primarily because Yu Shuisheng was not her biological son.

There was no blood ties, hence, no attachments.

In the old granny’s heart, Wang Cuihua and her family were enemies, "evidence" of her husband’s betrayal of their marriage.

This psychologically twisted old granny had used half her life to torment Wang Cuihua, now she was savage brutish for the sake of her own biological son’s interests.

"To you, are people worth less than money?" Suizi asked, offering the old granny a final chance.

As long as she showed a shred of humanity, Suizi could convince Yu Jingting to leave the old granny a way out.

"Your man wrote the IOU, it’s here in black and white. Who are you to blame?" The old granny did not want the lifeline thrown by Suizi, her face surly.

"Jingting, call the village chief, and some of the respected elders in the village." Suizi sympathetically looked at the old granny.

Some people are determined to ruin themselves.

Her heart had become so tainted that even Buddha could not save her.

"Mom, she’s calling the village chief!" The second uncle sounded a bit nervous.

"What’s there to be afraid of! We have the IOUs!" The old granny was not afraid at all.

She watched it being tampered with, and it was brilliantly done.

Soon, several influential people in the village were summoned and gathered in the east room of the old Yu household.

The old granny arrogantly slapped the IOUs onto the kang bed.

"Clear as day, Yu Tiegen wrote an IOU, now he defies his elders, he confronted his second uncle at the land division meeting, the whole village saw it. Now they won’t lend him money anymore. Debts should be repaid, just as you’d compensate for taking a life!"

"Good heavens, how did your family end up like this? This is not a small amount. Where should they find such a sum all at once?"

The village chief looked distressed, he hadn’t even finished roasting his potatoes, and the old Yu Family was stirring trouble again!

"Who said they are my family?" The old granny wiped her face.

"Cuihua has been a widow in your family for so many years, she has raised the children of the old Yu family. Surely, it shouldn’t come to this?" An elder spoke up.

"Her grandfather, why are you taking Wang Cuihua’s side? Do you two have something going on?" For money, the old granny threw all sorts of disgusting accusations onto Wang Cuihua.

"Yu Shuisheng died early, who knows what she’s done outside? A woman, raising two children, who would believe if she says she hasn’t cheated?"

In ordinary times, Wang Cuihua would’ve exploded.

But in this moment, her hand was being held by Suizi, whose soft, small hand possessed comforting strength. Beside her stood her giant of a son, and she held in her arms, Jiaojiao, who was smartly educated by Suizi.

Wang Cuihua was at peace.

Those days of being bullied were gone forever.

"To say such things... it’s heartless..." Her grandfather stood up lividly. He was too old to bear such humiliation, he had to step out for a smoke to calm down.

"And all of you, are you blind to the IOUs? Anyone who speaks up for Wang Cuihua is having an affair with her!" The old granny pointed at the roomful of people.

With her sheer audacity, she accused all the respected elders in the village.

For money, she was capable of anything.

She simply ignored the fact that after accusing these people, would the old Yu Family be able to continue living in this area - after seizing Yu Jingting’s land and cattle, what good days would be left?

"You’re being unreasonable!" The village chief wished he could roast the old granny like a potato.

"I only abide by the IOUs!"

"But the amount on this IOU doesn’t seem right. It’s believable if Tiegen borrowed a couple hundred yuan from you, but more than a thousand, what for?"

"Who knows what he did with it? The amount written on the IOU is what he owes, if he doesn’t pay and the village does not seek justice, I’ll go to the police!"

Even the old granny knew to find the police.

"What proof do you have that we tampered with the IOUs!"

"The proof is this." Suizi took out the carbon copy of the IOU that Yu Jingting left beforehand.

The old granny’s face changed immediately.

The second uncle and the others were dumbfounded.

How come there’s a carbon copy?!

"Tampering with IOUs, this is no longer a moral issue, you are trying to swindle money? Should we be the ones calling the police now?"

Yu Jingting had had enough of the monkey show, he voiced out his trump card.

"We’re all family, let’s not!" The old granny immediately changed her tune.

"With you, I’m not acquainted." Wang Cuihua squared her shoulders in pride, after many years of oppression, she could finally stand tall.
