My scumbag sister stole my husband? I'm a scumbag and married my cowardly brother-in-law
Chapter 132: Money is easy to talk about, without money everything is useless
How could Wen Wan not watch such a lively scene?
So she grabbed a bamboo chair and sat under the eaves of the porch at the door, and even asked Xiaojun to bring some snacks over, and pretended to be watching the fun while basking in the sun.
Xu Fengqin did not disappoint Wen Wan. Before she even opened her mouth, she handed Lu Antai several IOUs written by Wen Ya.
He didn't explain too much and just waited for Lu Antai to finish reading and express his opinion.
Wen Wan curled her lips. What kind of training class did Xu Fengqin attend? She actually learned all the tricks Lu Yiming usually used. When she didn't know how to deal with it, she just threw it to Wen Ya.
Some of these IOUs were signed because Wen Ya tried to steal money but failed, some were signed because she stole money but was robbed and couldn't pay it back, and some were signed because she didn't go to the production team to earn work points and couldn't make a living...
In short, none of them is glorious. Wen Ya hopes that Xu Fengqin will say nothing and wait for her to smooth things over. After all, Xu Fengqin is not very smart and has no culture, and making up nice things to say has never appeared in her life.
Sure enough, before Lu Antai finished reading, Wen Ya explained nervously: "Dad, it's like this..."
Wen Ya looked at Lu Yiming as she spoke, "My sister Wen Wan and I got married at the same time, and my brother-in-law's family gave us a gift of 1,000 yuan.
Yiming was afraid that I would feel wronged, so he promised to give me a dowry of 1,000 yuan. However, we didn't have the money at the moment, so I wrote an IOU to my sister-in-law.
Also, I borrowed money from my parents to make clothes, buy cigarettes and alcohol, and prepare the wedding banquet when Yiming and I got married."
Hearing her say this, Lu Yiming was very angry. It was clearly her who caused the debt, so why did she involve him in this?
Just when he was about to open his mouth to refute him, he received a look from Wen Ya and felt that he could not refute.
Although all these things were caused by Wen Ya, he was also involved in it. To refute her would be to refute himself, and the face that Wen Ya had saved for him would be gone.
As for Xu Fengqin, she didn't care at all what her title was. As long as she could get the money, everything would be fine.
It is precisely because she knows this that Wen Ya dares to speak so recklessly.
Wen Ya glanced at Xu Fengqin, and seeing that she agreed, she continued, "My sister-in-law is really something, I've already told her that I will pay her back every penny when I make money.
I'm so embarrassed that she actually brought the IOU to you.
Don't worry about this IOU, I will earn money to pay it back."
After saying this, she looked at Xu Fengqin with a warning in her eyes, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't shirk my responsibility for this.
Even though I followed Yiming to the city, this is still my mother's home, and I still have to come back to visit my parents during the holidays.
This money won't go away, don't worry, sister-in-law!"
I don’t know whether Xu Fengqin is reassured or not, but Lu Antai is definitely not reassured.
Although he was also born in the countryside, he had carried a gun and fought in a war. He felt that the new society should have new ideas and should not still have the old practice of exorbitant bride prices like selling daughters.
But there is a saying that goes "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." He can give a symbolic two or three hundred yuan as a betrothal gift. One thousand yuan is really a bit too much.
What's more, the sister-in-law's behavior is really disgusting. She thinks that Lu Yiming can't afford the bride price and he can just not marry her, or wait until they come back to talk about marriage. What's the point of asking her to write an IOU?
Just write an IOU. He didn't even have his meal when he handed the IOU to him.
What does it mean?
Do you want a debt?
Lu Antai was unhappy but felt it was beneath his dignity to argue with them over money, so he gave Ji Yunxiang a look.
Although they had been sent to labor reform, they have been rehabilitated now. After all, they are city dwellers. Not only did their son marry a rural woman without any reason, but he was also blackmailed into writing an IOU for such a large amount of money.
Isn't this bullying?
Liking Wen Ya as a daughter-in-law is one thing, but whether you are willing to give a sky-high bride price is another.
Ji Yunxiang asked, "Has the rural custom become like this in recent years? To get married, the gift alone needs one thousand yuan?
The average worker's monthly salary is only more than 30 yuan. According to your calculation, how many years will it take for a worker to get married?
Isn’t this a bit too scary?”
This means that she doesn't want to give it, but Wen Ya is not omnipotent, so she can only prevent her affairs from being leaked. She can't take care of other things and has to solve the main problem first.
"Dad, Mom, you misunderstood. The wedding gift here is not that high, only two or three hundred yuan.
The reason why Yiming gave me such a high betrothal gift was because he was afraid that I would be outdone by my sister. After all, my brother-in-law’s family only gave a betrothal gift of one thousand yuan.
This is a matter between Yiming and me. We are already adults and can handle our own affairs. Parents should not interfere."
Hearing this, Lu Antai and Ji Yunxiang looked at each other with admiring expressions. This daughter-in-law is really good.
Even if they don't need to solve it, they can't make it too ugly, and necessary tug-of-war is still necessary. Ji Yunxiang said: "What do you mean we must not interfere?
As parents, how can we not care about our son's marriage and having children? You are not treating us as a family if you say this."
Wen Ya understood what she meant, and followed her words in a firm tone, "Mom, we are adults. You have to believe in our ability. We will definitely be able to pay it back. If you interfere, it means you don't trust us."
After saying that, she gave Lu Yiming a look. Lu Yiming understood that he would not pay back the money anyway, so he followed Wen Ya's wishes and said, "Mom, don't worry about it. We can do it."
Lu Antai and Ji Yunxiang were satisfied and had nothing to say.
After the two were finalized, Wen Ya pulled Xu Fengqin out, smiling and coaxing her.
"Sister-in-law, I have just started getting along with my parents-in-law, and I haven't won their favor yet.
If we ask them to pay 1,500 yuan now, they will definitely feel unhappy.
If my father-in-law slammed the table and said, there is no dowry at all, and you have to let the two children divorce.
Lu Yiming is a city dweller now. If he divorces her, he can find a young and beautiful woman. What about me? I will be left with nothing. Can you bear it if I stay at home every day without getting married?"
Xu Fengqin thought it made sense, but after weighing the pros and cons, she still felt that money was more important.
"Then I don't care. You owe me this money. It's been more than half a year. The interest on it is not small if you lend it to others.
You must return it to me today. I am worried about you. You said you would come back to visit your parents during the holidays, but what if you don't come back? Where can I find you?
Besides, I'm in urgent need of money. Either you return the money to me now, or I'll go to your parents-in-law to make trouble. You choose one!"
Wen Ya was so angry at her stubbornness that she wanted to beat her up. She took a deep breath to suppress her anger, "Sister-in-law, you are hurting both of us by doing this today, do you know?"
"I don't care if you're hurt or not. I only care about money. If you have money, it's easy to talk. If you don't have money, everything is nonsense."
Wen Wan almost laughed out loud. She didn't expect Xu Fengqin to be so good at arguing with people.
It's just that Wen Ya is too good at sweet talk and will definitely make some promises for her, saying that she has offended Lu Antai and Ji Yunxiang now, and will have to subsidize her parents' family in the future. These two will definitely be unhappy. If she gives them enough face now, she will get subsidies in the future.
Sure enough, as soon as Wen Wan finished her guess, Wen Ya followed suit and drew a cake for Xu Fengqin.
When Wen Wan saw Xu Fengqin frowning and thinking about something, she knew that she was about to waver and shook her head speechlessly.
I really want to know if Xu Fengqin was a roast duck rolled up in a pancake and eaten in her previous life. No matter how many times Wen Ya drew the pancake for her, she believed it like a believer.
It was clear from what the old couple of the Lu family just said that they did not want to admit their mistake.
Nowadays, jobs in the city are all about one person per position. Even if Lu Antai uses his connections, it will take more than one or two months to arrange a job. Even if he does, it won't be a lucrative job.
With Lu Yiming's personality, he would definitely not care. With Wen Ya relying on herself, she would probably have to wait until the salary in 2000 increases to 1,000 yuan a month before she could barely pay it back.
This is the case if Wen Ya is willing to pay it back. Based on Wen Wan's understanding of her, there is a 99.9% chance that she will not pay it back.
It’s all Xu Mai Fengqin’s fault for being greedy. In her opinion, the IOU for fifteen hundred yuan is equivalent to fifteen hundred yuan in hand. As long as she waits, she can get much more money than fifteen hundred yuan. Of course, she will choose to wait.
Xu Fengqin had been busy for so long, but in the end, all her efforts were in vain.
Wen Wan shook her head in disappointment, hoping that the next group of people would not be as weak as Xu Fengqin.
