Grandpa Chen’s third son heard what Liu Hua said and felt that such a conversation might be detrimental to the Chen family, so he opened his mouth to interrupt them. But before he could speak, Liu Hua slammed the table and asked angrily, "Do you, the Chen family, also want to suppress honest farmers like the landlords in the past?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Grandpa Chen looked at her in shock. For such a crime, if he didn’t refute it, he and his family would go to prison or be sent to the reform farm ah!
Seeing that his second son was about to quarrel with Liu Hua, Grandpa Chen quickly said, "Niece Wang, Niece Liu, both of you have misunderstood. My Chen family will pay!"
Hearing his words, his sons looked at him in shock and said in unison, "Father, you can’t!"
Grandpa Chen took a deep breath, raised his hand to stop his sons from talking, and said, "I have decided. Our family is an upright farmer. Since we failed to educate our children well, it is natural to compensate for their mistake."
Grandpa Chen looked at Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua and said, "Niece Wang, my family will compensate your family’s children, but the amount is too much. Can you give us some time to collect the money, or let us pay 50 yuan a month?"
Wang Muxiao heard this and smiled, "Uncle Chen, it’s not impossible to give you a little more time to collect the money."
Grandpa Chen’s eyes lit up after hearing her words. As long as he can get Wang Muxiao’s promise to give them time, everything will be easy. As for how long it takes to collect the money, it’s up to him.
But before he could get happy, he heard Wang Muxiao added, "As long as you write an IOU and stamp it with your and your son’s fingerprints, my family will give you a month to collect the money."
As soon as Grandpa Chen heard this, his hopes of playing tricks were dashed. With an IOU, it was impossible for him not to pay. What’s more, he was only given one month. What difference can one month make? In the end, doesn’t he still need to use his savings to pay for it?
Grandpa Chen clenched his fists and finally made up his mind, saying, "Niece Wang, don’t you believe me?"
Wang Muxiao smiled warmly at him and said, "Uncle Chen, how is that possible? It’s just that even among family members, there should be clear boundaries on money matters. What’s more, we are just fellow villagers. So, for me, asking you to write an IOU is not too much, right?"
Seeing that it was impossible for him to deceive Wang Muxiao, Grandpa Chen said with a stiff smile, "I just remember that my family still has some savings. Since your family’s children urgently need money for medical treatment, it would be better for us to solve this matter now." frёeωebɳovel.com
