81 Attack (2)
Yes, she must have used her mouth to feel sorry for him.
It was all talk and no action. This was Big Wu!
In everyone’s hearts, it was not that they could not differentiate between right and wrong. However, it was similar to the principle that it was better to destroy a temple than a marriage. If they persuaded others to split up, they would be criticized.
They were not so righteous!
Liu Shan said in a low voice, “Fatty Su, this is our Liu family’s business. It’s not your place to criticize!”
No matter what, Liu Shan was still a grandfather. He was not so timid when facing a little bully from the Su family, especially in front of the entire village. He had to maintain some semblance of dignity.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care if he was afraid or not. She wasn’t here to scare him with her weight.
She said sarcastically, “Grandpa Liu, it’s fine to break up with such an unfilial son!”
Liu Shan could tell that this girl was here to cause trouble!
It had been a while since the Su family had found someone to extort money. He thought that they had turned over a new leaf, but it turned out that they were still bastards!
Liu Shan said coldly, “Liu Ping is my son. Unless I die, he can forget about being separated from this family!”
Su Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief. “Aiya, I’m relieved to hear that!”
The villagers were puzzled. What did Fatty Su mean?
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “You just said that Liu Ping is your biological son. Unless you die, he can forget about splitting up! In that case, repay the debt Liu Ping owes!”
The villagers stared. What kind of development was this?
Liu Shan frowned.
Liu Ping was also confused.
Little Wu glanced at Su Xiaoxiao. She knew Fatty Su best. Although she didn’t know what Fatty Su wanted to do, she believed her.
“Fatty Su, are you trying to extort money again?” It was Madam He from the second branch.
Su Xiaoxiao took out an IOU from her wide sleeve and dusted it gently, showing it to the Liu family and the villagers.
“This is the IOU that Liu Ping personally signed. His fingerprint is on it! He owes me a total of 30 taels! The interest is 18 taels, a total of 48 taels! Hurry up and return the money!”
Liu Ping said, “Since when... ”
Little Wu pinched Liu Ping!
Liu Ping paused and Little Wu hurriedly said, “Didn’t we agree to give it to you in a few days?”
Liu Ping looked at Little Wu as if he had seen a ghost.
Little Wu’s words confirmed Fatty Su’s “extortion”. No, with an IOU, it could not be called extortion!
Su Xiaoxiao secretly praised Little Wu for not disappointing her.
Su Xiaoxiao said fiercely, “But you also agreed to give me some interest in advance! Did you give it to me?”
Little Wu stammered, “I... we really can’t...”
Su Xiaoxiao pointed at Liu Shan. “If you two can’t take it out, ask your father for it!”
Big Wu’s expression changed!
She did not want to repay the first branch’s debt!
“What’s going on!” Liu Shan was furious.
“So the two of you haven’t told your family yet. Alright, I’ll tell them.”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled unhurriedly.
“A while ago, Liu Ping was carrying a sack for someone in town and accidentally broke a noble scholar’s jade pendant. That jade pendant was originally worth 50 taels of silver. Coincidentally, I was doing business nearby, and Young Master Shen of the Wutong Academy was also there. Young Master Shen appeared, and on account of him, they only asked Liu Ping to compensate 30 taels of silver! I was the one who paid the money first. It’s 60% interest, written clearly in black and white! Young Master Shen is the witness. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the Wutong Academy to verify it with him!”
Who wouldn’t believe her if she mentioned Young Master Shen of the academy?
They had seen Young Master Shen send Fatty Su a New Year gift with their own eyes!
Fatty Su was indeed on good terms with Young Master Shen!
As for why Fat Lass Su was so kind-
Pfft!
It was an interest of 60%. Was she being kind?
She was trying to extort the Liu family to death!
Fatty Su was still that little bully!
Su Xiaoxiao hooked her chubby hand. “How is it? Return the money!”
Liu Shan was so angry that his blood surged. He suppressed his anger and looked at Liu Ping, who was kneeling on the ground. “Is what she said true?”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, “If you don’t believe me, you can verify it with Shen Chuan! Liu Ping’s handprint is on it, and so is Shen Chuan’s!”
Okay, the fingerprints actually belonged to Wei Ting and Su Ergou.
Liu Shan called his youngest son over. “Invite the village head over.”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t panic at all.
After the village head came over, he carefully checked the IOU. “According to what’s written on it, he does owe 30 taels of silver, 60% interest, and 1,800 copper coins a day. He owed it 10 days ago. Today, he should have accumulated payment of 18 taels of silver.”
This matched Fatty Su’s words.
Fatty Su asked, “Chief, Liu Ping is from the Liu family. The Liu family should help him repay the debt he owes, right?”
The village head frowned and thought for a moment. “Logically speaking, that’s the case.”
Big Wu’s eyes turned black as she staggered and fell to the ground. She slapped her thigh and cried, “What sin did he commit?”
48 taels!
They wouldn’t be able to repay him even if they sold her!
If she had known earlier, she would have agreed to split up!
Liu Ping only earned about a hundred copper coins a month, less than half a tael of silver at most, and the daily payment was nearly two taels. How long would it take?
In other words, the Liu family could not afford it even if they went bankrupt!
Liu Shan’s expression was also that of a complete defeat. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He asked Liu Ping, “Why didn’t you tell your family about such an important matter!”
Liu Ping: “I...”
Su Xiaoxiao chuckled. “Fortunately, I discovered it in time. If I were a step later, you would have split from the main family and I wouldn’t have been able to get the Liu family to return the debt! With your own strength, hmph, I’m afraid you’ll have to pay it back in your next life! Grandpa Liu, I remember that you have some savings. It’s time to take it out!”
When the villagers heard this, they were enlightened.
Could it be that Brother Ping didn’t want to drag his family down?
He wanted to shoulder the debt himself. It was better than his entire family being dragged down by him!
If that were the case, they would have misunderstood the two of them!
How was Brother Ping unfilial? He was clearly filial!
