Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 848

Chapter 848: 213: Times create heroes! A gentleman on the beam

Seeing her mother demanding money, Grandma Wu immediately resorted to her specialty—

She sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum!

Crying and wailing.

But Wu’s mother wasn’t someone to be trifled with. During her years as a street director, what kind of troublemaker hadn’t she seen?

"You throwing a tantrum with me won’t work. Debt repayment is a matter of principle. It was you who took the money; the thumbprints are yours and your daughter’s. Today, either pay up or go to jail for ’eight da liang’!"

Wu Jinjin was startled. She definitely didn’t want to go to prison!

She was uneducated and lacked culture; unaware that the agreement wasn’t legally binding, she only knew that repaying debts was the natural order of things!

"Dear relatives, please don’t be angry! Although the money was taken by my mother, it was meant for Yanyun’s dowry. You should ask my brother and his wife for it! Their goddaughter is so rich; they surely won’t miss these six thousand yuan!"

Holding the agreement, Wu’s mother said:

"These are your mother’s and your thumbprints. If I report this to the police, they will only look for you two! Forget it, I don’t want the six thousand anymore. Just give me back three thousand! I’ll just take the loss this time."

It’s impossible to get Grandma Wu to part with the money!

Once the money was in her pocket, it was hers!

"I don’t have any money!" Grandma Wu clutched her pocket tightly, as if to say there wasn’t three hundred silver taels there.

Wu’s mother laughed, "No money, is it? Well, I’ll just report you to the police! Qiangzi, go to the police station right now and get this old shrew and the young one arrested! No pay, no freedom! You really think I can be easily fooled, huh!"

Wu Qiang was a simpleton and, hearing his mother’s words, immediately pushed his bicycle, saying, "Alright, Mom, I’m on it!"

Wu Jinjin turned white with fear, "Mom, mom, please take the money out! I don’t want to go to jail, I have elderly and young to care for, I don’t want to go to jail..."

Seeing that Wu Qiang was truly about to report to the police, Grandma Wu got scared too. At her ripe old age, she certainly didn’t want to die in a cell.

She immediately stood up from the ground and grabbed Wu Qiang’s bicycle, "I’ll pay back the money, just let it be."

Wu’s mother signaled to Wu Qiang with her eyes, and he stopped his bicycle.

Grandma Wu pulled out a shabby cloth pouch from her pocket, unwrapped it layer by layer to reveal the crisp blue-green 100 RMB banknotes inside.
