My scumbag sister stole my husband? I'm a scumbag and married my cowardly brother-in-law
Chapter 133: One party is in trouble, and the other party is causing trouble
It must be said that the villagers have more or less heard the saying of not chasing a dog into a dead end, even though they were afraid that Wen Ya would just leave and the debt would be left unresolved.
In front of Wen Ya's parents-in-law, the villagers still gave Wen Ya enough face.
They just said that Lu Yiming and Wen Ya were in financial difficulty, and the villagers had borrowed a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil from them. After saying that, they even took out the IOU that Wen Ya had written earlier as evidence.
Even though they didn't get to hear the part about Lu Yiming pretending to be a writer, Lu Antai and Ji Yunxiang were still so angry that their faces turned blue.
Although these two people have been in labor reform and have eaten from the same pot for many years, they are not to the point where they don't know the difference between grains. The amount of food reported by these people is enough for Lu Yiming and Wen Ya, both of whom are more than two kilograms in weight, to eat it all.
Seeing that the way the two looked at Wen Ya and Lu Yiming changed from questioning to shock, and even a little heartache, Wen Wan knew that the two must have thought that the villagers had joined forces to bully the two children.
Sure enough, the next second Ji Yunxiang said: "I didn't know the people here are so fierce.
It is a national policy to send educated youth to work in the countryside. My son came to our village. I don’t expect the villagers to take care of him, but at least they should not bully him because he is alone and helpless.
We are just not with him, not dead, so you are bullying him like this, right? "
This was said in a subtle way. The rural people did not think there was anything wrong with them. Instead, they thought the city man was very rude.
"What do you mean?"
“I didn’t expect you city people to be so ungrateful. If we hadn’t lent your son and daughter-in-law food, they would have starved to death long ago.
Not only are you not grateful to us, but you also accuse us of bullying them."
"That's right, if borrowing food is considered bullying, then you should bully us too and lend us some money!"
"That's right. Just because you are from the city, you can't say that to us rural people. Without us rural people farming, you city people wouldn't even have enough to eat."
……
Seeing that the conversation was not going in the right direction, Lu Antai pressed his hand down to ask everyone to stop, and said like a leader:
“My family has no other intentions, I just think the numbers you reported are a bit out of the normal range.
Let’s not talk about the amount of food you reported, which is enough for these two children to eat for a year. What if you say they are short of money and you sell it for money?
The amount of land in our village is similar to that of other villages, and the soil environment and planting techniques are similar. Our village's grain output is enough for you to leave enough for your own food, and you can still give out this much to help these two children.
If the figures you reported are true, then your village's output is at least twice that of other villages."
People who have been leaders are different. They hit the nail on the head with just a few words. Now the villagers understood and began to exchange glances with each other.
When Wen Wan exposed Wen Ya and Lu Yiming, they all reported double the amount of things they sent. When Wen Ya asked them to sign the letter reporting Wen Wan, they doubled the amount again.
Some even used the principle of four to one or five to two. Anyway, they were forced to that point by Wen Ya and were willing to write any IOU.
They knew the reported numbers were off, but they didn't expect them to be so off.
When everyone looked at each other, they all touched their noses guiltily.
Only then did they realize that it was not difficult to tell the truth, but it was difficult to make things right. Fortunately, Wen Ya didn't want to make a big deal about this matter more than they did.
Everyone turned their pleading and threatening eyes to Wen Ya. All day long, even though Wen Ya was exhausted, she still invited her parents-in-law to the inner room for a private chat and tried her best to make the matter go back on track.
I thought I would have to wait a long time, but I didn't expect them to come out in less than five minutes. Moreover, the first person Lu Antai and Ji Yunxiang looked at after they came out was Wen Wan, with disgust and curses in their eyes.
In short, the look in his eyes was quite dirty.
Wen Wan understood that this was another way of putting the blame on her. It seemed that in Wen Ya's eyes, she was just a useful sewer, and all the dirty water was poured onto her.
It is not difficult to understand if you think about it. The people standing in the yard knew everything Wen Ya had done. They did not say it at the beginning not only because they were afraid that Wen Ya would do something desperate, but also because they wanted to use it as a trump card to control Wen Ya.
Wen Ya had to take responsibility for these people's accounts. Since she couldn't deny it, she could only argue that she was forced to do so.
For example, Wen Wan first designed a plan to get the villagers to deliver food to the cowshed, and then Wen Wan emptied the cowshed in the name of getting back the borrowed food. This operation was repeated several times. In addition, few villagers were literate, so Wen Wan wrote the IOUs for them...
Wen Wan believed that Wen Ya could make up a story like this one, with half-true and half-false content and completely fake people responsible.
As the saying goes, once a lie is told, it must be covered up with countless lies. Countless lies are like the story of the boy who cried wolf. Even the most trusting relationship will be in crisis.
Judging from Wen Ya's current expression, this crisis has really occurred. Wen Wan guessed that either she failed to deal with Lu Antai, or she went too far and made things too big.
Lu Antai retracted his gaze and looked at everyone and spoke again, "Fellow villagers, I know about this incident.
But the number is indeed a bit large, I need to investigate it. If the results of the investigation are correct, I, Lu Antai, will definitely take responsibility for this account.
You can go back without worry, I will give you an explanation within three days."
It seems that Wen Ya has overplayed her hand and Lu Antai is no longer under control and has to go investigate.
Seeing Wen Ya and Lu Yiming so anxious that they were sweating profusely, Wen Wan nodded slightly, thinking that this was what they deserved.
Facts have proved that no effort is in vain. Wen Wan’s previous suggestions to Xu Fengqin were not used, but they were used at this critical moment.
It really is true that when one side is in trouble, trouble comes to all sides.
As soon as Lu Antai finished speaking, before the villagers had a chance to express their opinions, Xu Fengqin pushed through the crowd and squeezed to the front.
"Father-in-law, my daughter Wen Ya is married into the Lu family and is a member of the Lu family. I am 100% confident in the family tradition of the Lu family and your character.
You are the head of the Lu family, and you should always pay first and then last. Besides, my bill is the biggest, so do you think you can pay it off for me now?"
Lu Antai was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Wen Ya tried to pull the person aside, but she was far less strong than Xu Fengqin. Not only could she not pull her away, she also refused to listen when she reasoned with her.
In short, there is only one central idea - to get money.
Wen Ya was forced into a corner and had no choice but to say, "Sister-in-law, my parents-in-law didn't know about this beforehand, so how could they be prepared? Who would carry so much money when going out? Aren't you making things difficult for them?"
The subtext of this statement was that Lu Antai would pay back the money. Xu Fengqin became more interested and pushed Wen Ya aside, looking at Lu Antai and said:
"Father-in-law, I'm not an unreasonable person. Just like Wen Ya said, no one would carry so much money when going out.
Let's do this. I'll give you the IOU I have, and you write me another one. You sign and stamp it, and you pay me back within three days without missing a cent."
It turned out that Xu Fengqin said earlier that Wen Ya would marry into the Lu family and Lu Antai would be the head of the family in order to transfer the debt to Lu Antai's name.
This whole set of moves really impressed Wen Wan.
As expected, Xu Fengqin never lets Wen Wan down at any time.
The most fearful thing about everything is precedent. Once there is a precedent, there will be a rush to be the first. Anyway, what Lu Antai said just now was to investigate instead of giving it immediately.
And the numbers they reported in the past were indeed a bit outrageous, and there is almost no possibility of getting the money now.
First trick him into writing an IOU. As long as the note is written, even if he finds any problems during investigation, he can’t do anything about it.
Moreover, these things happened in the village, and they believed that the villagers would have the same version of events, and further investigation would not produce different results.
"Wen Ya's sister-in-law is right. You came from a faraway place and didn't know in advance, so you really wouldn't bring so much money with you.
You can also write us an IOU and pay us back after you have investigated the matter. We are not afraid that you will run away."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone spoke out in opposition.
"That won't do. We don't even know where they live. If they never come back, where can we find them?"
"That's right. You can go to investigate, but you can only go alone. Everyone else can stay. If you have nowhere to live, you can live in the village committee."
"Yes, this is the best way. No one will suffer any loss."
