Wen Wan thought to herself that Lu Antai must have cursed at all in his heart at this moment.

This is not debt collection, it is clearly robbery and hostage taking.

But there is a saying that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. No matter how powerful Lu Antai is, he is weak and cannot defeat these people.

There were no mobile phones in the 1970s. Even if you wanted to report a crime to the police station, you had to at least go to the village committee. With the current situation, it would be difficult to even leave the village committee, let alone go to it.

A good man doesn't suffer the immediate consequences!

Moreover, as a former leader, Lu Antai knew that even if an IOU was written, if an investigation revealed that the debt did not exist, the IOU would still be illegal.

Just treat it as a temporary solution, first appease these people and try to find a chance to investigate what's going on here.

Wen Wan's prediction was correct. Lu Antai was just like the Qing government that signed the unequal treaty with humiliation. He wrote two IOUs with a stroke of his pen, one for Xu Fengqin and the other for the villagers.

The villagers decided to quit while they were ahead. It was also time to make lunch, so after receiving the IOU, they didn't say a word and hurried back to their homes.

After everyone left, Wen Wan knew it was her turn.

Sure enough, before the candy had completely melted in her mouth, Ji Yunxiang came over angrily.

"How can you be so vicious, woman? Isn't it just that our Yiming doesn't like you?

Yiming looks down on you, shouldn't you look for the reason in yourself?

If you can't have it, you have to destroy it, right? Okay, you've done this to my son, my wife, and our family, so I'm going to strangle you to death and pay for your life."

A person who prides herself on being an intellectual and well-educated has been forced to become a shrew. Wen Ya's skill in making up lies is really becoming more and more sophisticated.

Wen Wan still remembers that in the previous century, Yunxiang always acted superior in front of her and looked at her as if she were a dog, full of contempt.

Now it's quite interesting to see her getting so angry like a crazy woman.

A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Wen Wan stood up, picked up the bamboo chair and threw it in front of Ji Yunxiang to block her. He looked at Wen Futang standing beside him and said:

"Dad, someone was trying to strangle your daughter, and you just watched?"

Wen Futang gave her a look that said, "You have so many troubles," and turned to Lu Antai and said:

"In-laws, we are all family, and Wen Wan is still a child. For my sake, wait until the matter is settled before punishing her."

Lu Antai knew that Ji Yunxiang was so angry that she lost her mind, because he was also so angry that his chest was stuffy and his head was swollen.

Judging from Wen Ya's description, this Wen Wan is quite complicated. If he really takes action, he might get into trouble.

Even if they cannot be convicted of intentional injury, they can still blackmail you like a scoundrel.

There's no need to fight with such a villain.

Lu Antai held Ji Yunxiang and said, "Okay, my in-laws are right, let's talk about other things after we have investigated the matter thoroughly.

By then, it won't be your turn to strangle her to death, the law will make her get the punishment she deserves."

Wen Ya was as anxious as a headless fly, "Mom, calm down, my sister is young and naive, it's all my fault.

Could you and Dad please just let this go for my sake?

Can you please ask my parents to advance me the money first? I can write an IOU to Dad, even if I have to pay interest.

Please, let my sister go! I will start a business after I get to the city, and I will definitely be able to pay the money back, please believe me."

Seeing that Wen Wan had listened for a long time without any refutation, Wen Ya really thought that the facts were what she had made up, and she even dared to act so arrogantly here.

Let's be fair, even if they lose face and have to pay money, that's what they deserve.

Her mammary glands are also mammary glands, and Wen Wan must let out all the anger she needs to.

"Your family is really interesting, one group plays the good cop and the other group plays the bad cop, one group says to let me go and the other group says to punish me.

You owe others money, what does it have to do with me?

It's as if the national laws were made by your family. You actually want to use me to solve the problem of you refusing to pay back the money you owe. You are quite dreaming.

"Stop talking a little more. How long have you had these symptoms? Do we need to go to a psychiatric hospital and see a specialist?"

Lu Antai was born in the countryside, and he should have been able to swear when he was young, but after serving as a soldier and being a leader for many years, this skill had long since atrophied.

Not to mention Ji Yunxiang, although she was not born in a noble family, she always considered herself noble and disdained to swear.

In this situation, even if Wen Wan pointed at them and scolded them, the two of them tried their best to hold back and not fight back, and they didn't have the energy to talk back at all.

Wen Ya would curse, but her current position was awkward and it was not appropriate for her to curse.

Even though the opponent is so weak, he still needs to be respected, so Wen Wan continued with great respect:

"Uncle Lu, you have been doing forced labor on the farm these years. Your former comrades, colleagues and subordinates must have been exchanging letters with you!

I think that not only will we keep in touch through correspondence, but I will also provide you with any help or financial support I can.

Now that they have finally been rehabilitated, they should have been waiting at your door with gifts. One would bring two bottles of Moutai, another would bring a few cartons of good cigarettes, or at least rice, flour, grain and oil!

After all these years, they must be high-ranking officials now, and they must have given you a lot of red envelopes.

What does the little money your son and daughter-in-law owe in the village mean to you? There is no need to be reluctant to pay it back. This will hurt your son and daughter-in-law's heart!

Furthermore, during the years your son has been in the village, you have never sent him money or things to take care of him. The villagers have helped take care of him, and my family even married our daughter to him.

As a father, shouldn't you repay this kindness?"

Isn't it that it sounds very benevolent and righteous, but is actually very problematic?

Who doesn't know how to do it?

Others may not know about Lu Antai’s popularity, but Wen Wan, who was his daughter-in-law for decades in her previous life, knows it very well.

Who could like him because of his personality of wanting to teach everyone a lesson? Wen Wan guessed that when he was labeled a rightist, the people around him probably clapped their hands in celebration.

If he had a good relationship with someone, his case would not have been delayed until now.

It is said that when a person leaves, the tea gets cold. Lu Antai has been gone for several years. Not only the tea has gotten cold, but everything has gotten cold too. I am afraid that no one will even remember him.

How could anyone remember to visit him after he was rehabilitated, let alone go there with gifts and red envelopes of condolences?

Wen Wan's words were heartbreaking. Lu Antai thought that his teachings and guidance played an important role in other people's lives, and they should be grateful to him.

When he was doing forced labor on the farm, he could still comfort himself by saying that they didn't send him any letters or make any phone calls because they were afraid of implicating him.

After being rehabilitated, he indeed expected that the thresholds of their homes would be trampled down after they knew he had returned.

After waiting for half a month, there was not even a footprint on the threshold, and even the dog wouldn't go into his yard.

At first he thought that the news of his return had not yet spread, so he wandered around all day, telling others that he was back.

Another half a month passed, and still no one came.

We can't let him come to their door on his own initiative! That would be too shameful for him.

Even though he finally swallowed his pride and went to see his comrade who now worked in the municipal government, all he got was a bland and polite greeting.

Lu Antai then realized that it was not that they didn't know he was back, but that they simply didn't want to visit their home.

Wen Wan's words were like invisible sharp knives, piercing accurately into the most important things in his heart.
