Lu Dashan had just woken up at this moment. Before he had time to catch his breath, he saw a large group of people coming in front of him. His eyes went dark and he almost fainted again.
Fortunately, the captain called him in time before he fainted.
"Lu Dashan, let's discuss your compensation to Lu Chen now, so cheer up!"
The captain's roar successfully woke Lu Dashan up.
He looked at the commune leaders around the team leader with horror on his face. Just as he was about to beg for mercy, the commune leaders seemed to know what he was going to do and raised their hands to interrupt him.
"Okay, let's get down to business without further ado."
When Lu Dashan saw the looks on the leaders' faces, he knew that his begging for mercy was completely hopeless.
He could only wait for the final "judgment" in despair.
It was not until he finally heard Lu Chen's request repeated by Meng Xuan that he was stunned.
Lu Chen didn't even ask him to go to jail? ! !
Is he really so kind
When he thought that he didn't have to go to that place and his ending could be changed, Lu Dashan suddenly became excited.
He nodded frantically without even thinking about it, and agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, I am willing to accept this result! I can return everything to him. As long as I don't go to jail, I can do anything!"
But he agreed directly because of his emotions, but Jiang Guihua's expression changed.
It was rare that she had a smarter brain than Lu Dashan, and she understood the meaning of Meng Xuan's words faster than him.
Although his words sounded light, his intention was to ask them to pay back everything they owed Lu Chen.
Everything, that's everything!
They owed Lu Chen things, not to mention other odds and ends, just his father's pension, that was three thousand yuan, a full three thousand yuan!
They have to pay it back in full. Where can they get so much money
Even if we sell them, we probably won't get that much money!
Jiang Guihua was already dumbfounded when she heard Meng Xuan's words, not to mention that later she saw Lu Dashan actually agreed to this request.
Crazy, Lu Dashan is absolutely crazy!
"Lu Dashan, wait a minute, we can't do this..." He agreed just like that.
Jiang Guihua meant that they should try to plead for leniency and relax the conditions, but she was interrupted by Lu Dashan before she could finish her words.
"Shut up! What do you know, woman? It's settled!"
Lu Dashan realized that there was room for things to turn around and that he didn't have to go to jail, so his energy and spirit returned.
"The leaders have made their requirements very clear. It's not your turn to interrupt! Besides, we took Lu Chen's things, so shouldn't we return them?"
Jiang Guihua was confused by his words. If Lu Dashan had not been under her nose the whole time, she would have thought that this person had been replaced.
After all, she and Lu Dashan have been married for many years, so she knows very well what kind of personality the man next to her has.
She knew very well that Lu Dashan could not be such a generous person. With so much money, how could he be willing to return it all to Lu Chen
But at this moment he...
Seeing Jiang Guihua still looking at him with a confused expression, Lu Dashan felt angry and really wanted to scold this bitch, asking her why she couldn't be smart when she should be!
How could he really surrender? He was clearly just dealing with this group of people temporarily!
return
He has spent almost all the money, what can he use to pay me back? You can't ask him to vomit out what he ate, right
Haha, that's of course impossible.
Just like Jiang Guihua understood him, he naturally understood Lu Chen as well. He knew that although he was ruthless, he was also soft-hearted. This incident had caused such a big fuss and he had lost so much face, Lu Chen's anger must have subsided a lot.
After that, he would sincerely admit his mistake to him and return all the remaining money in the family to him, and then let Lu Chen see clearly the current situation of their family. He would have no money and his life at hand. It is estimated that Lu Chen would not force him anymore.
As long as Lu Chen gave in a little, he would have a chance to catch his breath, and the team leader and other commune leaders would have no right to say anything.
As for the money he owed Lu Chen, he could just pay it back slowly. Anyway, his requirements were very low now. As long as he didn't go to jail, he would accept it even if his future life was poorer than before!
Just like going back to our childhood when our family was very poor!
Seeing this, the team leader and commune leaders over there changed their opinion of Lu Dashan. After all, at this moment, Lu Dashan really looked like he had reformed and realized his mistakes.
But they felt relieved, but Meng Xuan beside them didn't think so.
There is a saying that goes, a truly bad person is bad to the core, and it is absolutely impossible for them to change their character easily and become good just by encountering some problems.
In his opinion, Lu Dashan was that kind of person. It was impossible for him to wake up because of this setback. He was selfish in his bones. How could decades of habits change so quickly
Moreover, his response was too quick. I could tell it wasn't sincere.
After the captain and his friends discussed it, they looked at Lu Dashan with doubt and asked, "You know all these requirements and will carry them out well, right?"
Lu Dashan nodded sincerely.
"I really know I was wrong, and I will return everything I owe to Lu Chen. If you don't believe me, why don't we write an IOU, and the leaders can be witnesses!"
Lu Dashan's words surprised the captain. He took the initiative to ask for an IOU, which showed that he was indeed sincere.
The team leader and the commune leaders looked at each other and all thought this was a good idea.
Then he looked at Meng Xuan, using his eyes to tell him what he thought.
Faced with everyone's questioning looks, Meng Xuan showed no expression at first, but then he suddenly smiled.
He looked at Lu Dashan and said, "Okay, then let's do as Comrade Lu Dashan said. It is indeed more convincing to write things down in black and white. After all, if someone violates the agreement in the future, there will be evidence, right?"
There sounded nothing wrong with what Meng Xuan said, and the team leader and the commune leaders did not have the slightest objection.
"Okay, then please ask Comrade Meng to call Lu Chen and ask him to come over to wash and see how to write the IOU. I'll go get some paper and pen."
After the captain finished speaking, he and Meng Xuan went their separate ways.
Meng Xuan quickly returned to the next room and told Lu Chen and Meng Yinyin about the conversation and discussion results. Meng Yinyin's brain was not as fast as Meng Xuan and Lu Chen, and she didn't find any clues at all. However, after hearing Lu Dashan's reply, Lu Chen couldn't help but sneered.
"He has a good calculation."
Meng Yinyin frowned when she heard this, and couldn't help asking Lu Dashan what his plan was.
Meng Xuan rolled his eyes at her, not wanting to waste time explaining. However, Lu Chen patiently told her about Lu Dashan's wishful thinking of temporarily agreeing to pay back the money, and then how he dragged on like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
He did say that he would pay it back, and he might even return all the money the family has now to Lu Chen, and even write an IOU.
But what's the use of this
An IOU is always an IOU, after all, it is just a piece of paper. He probably owes more than half of the remaining money. It is such a large amount that he may not be able to pay it back even after his death.
And once he died, would the IOU still be useful? It would completely become a piece of waste paper.
As for the money he owed, it was completely gone with his death.
That's why Lu Chen said that Lu Dashan had a good plan. He might even think that he would be soft-hearted in the future and would not urge him to pay back the money.
But he miscalculated again this time.
After explaining to Meng Yinyin, Lu Dashan was cursed by Meng Yinyin as expected.
But after scolding, Meng Yinyin couldn't help but worry.
"Then according to Lu Dashan's plan, he will become a deadbeat. He will definitely not be able to pay back the money, and it is impossible to beat him to death."
The most important thing is that even if you beat him up, you can't get back all that money. This is the most infuriating thing!
Meng Yinyin was so angry that her fair face turned red, and she was filled with righteous indignation.
"This old man is so evil!"
I guess they just rely on the fact that they don't dare to use force.
"Why not just send him to prison? He won't get his money back anyway, so why not make him miserable for the rest of his life?"
This way, at least they will feel better and at least they can breathe a sigh of relief, right
However, after hearing what Meng Yinyin said, neither Lu Chen nor Meng Xuan agreed with her proposal. Instead, Lu Chen gave her a reassuring look and continued.
"Don't worry, I've already thought about it."
In fact, the reason why Lu Chen asked Lu Dashan to pay back the money and end the matter was that he had naturally guessed that he would do such a thing.
Since he dared to take the initiative to ask for an IOU, how could we not satisfy him
Although Meng Xuan didn't know how he could deal with it, after spending the past few days with him, he had already realized that Lu Chen was not a simple-minded person. On the contrary, he was actually a brave and resourceful man.
Especially those who are able to endure hardships and work hard, and can stay dormant for a long time for their goals, will definitely achieve great things in the future.
"Okay, since you have a solution, let's go over there."
Meng Xuan didn't want to waste any more time, so he quickly called King Lu Chen to go next door.
Seeing this, Meng Yinyin also followed happily.
She was really curious about how Lu Chen would deal with Lu Dashan.
When they arrived at Lu Dashan's house, the captain happened to bring over paper and pen. Seeing that all the parties involved were present, he began to speak.
"Okay, since both of you are here, let's follow your previous request, Lu Chen, and let Lu Dashan return the money that belonged to you that he took away."
After saying that, the captain turned and looked at Lu Dashan, his tone sinking.
"Lu Dashan, that's enough. You and Jiang Guihua should quickly take out the money. Exchange as much as you have. If you still need to pay, just write an IOU and try to pay it back as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Jiang Guihua reluctantly opened the small box where she kept the money. There was indeed not much money left in it. Wang Chengwu had originally borrowed 300 yuan from them, and he had almost borrowed it all. However, when Wang Chengwu left, he returned the money to them. So now Jiang Guihua counted the money and there was still 450 yuan.
But this is still more than 2,000 yuan away from 3,000 yuan.
Jiang Guihua reluctantly took out all the money, handed it to the captain, and said, "Captain, this is all the money our family has now, not a penny left!"
Her tone and expression didn't sound fake. The captain nodded and said that the money was actually quite a lot, just a little bit away from the outstanding balance.
However, if Lu Chen takes this money back, it will be enough to improve his current life.
He sighed and was about to ask Lu Chen to take the money back. As for the remaining money, he could only ask Lu Dashan to write it down as an IOU and then pay it back slowly in the future.
but…
What ability does Lu Dashan have to earn more than 2,000 yuan in the remaining time
The captain finally realized this at this moment, and his mood suddenly became not so good. He even glared at Lu Dashan secretly.
Could it be that Lu Dashan wanted to fight because he owed Lu Chen something
Then, is the justice they are doing for Lu Chen really fair
Just when the captain was in doubt, Lu Chen on the side didn't even look at the money in the box, but said.
“This money is not enough.”
Lu Dashan had a comfortable bitter expression on his face.
"Lu Chen, uncle knows that this money is not enough. Uncle is really sorry for you, but this is really all the money left in our family..."
"After a while, when uncle is well again, don't worry, I will find a way to make money and return the remaining money to you as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will never default on the debt, not even a cent. If you don't believe me, let's write an IOU now!"
He looked sincere and earnest, as if there was really no other way out and he would really work hard to make money and pay back Lu Chen!
Shan Luchen couldn't help but sneered, then looked straight at Lu Dashan.
His gaze was precise and sharp, looking at Lu Dashan like a sharp sword, seeing through the little tricks in his heart.
Lu Dashan's heart started to panic and he felt inexplicably nervous.
He wondered if Lu Chen knew that he was planning to become a deadbeat.
But just as he was thinking this, Lu Chen finally spoke again.
Just listen to him.
"Don't write the IOU for now. Let's first count the things in your house and this yard and see how much they are worth."
