Chapter 79 I can give you money, but I have to write a promissory note
It's time to get off work and the men are back.
Seeing Mu Fengzhen, his face was red and swollen, and he looked aggrieved. Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou looked at each other: something was wrong.
Mu Jingyuan felt unhappy, so he called out "Big Sister" and went back to his room.
Li Lan wanted to talk to him about the situation, but he ignored her.
"Second brother, third brother, please come and judge this matter..." Mu Fengzhen shouted.
Mu Jingyun washed his hands with water: "I'm not a judge."
"Your daughter-in-law's soap caused my mother-in-law to slip and break her arm! Now I ask her to pay 20 yuan to treat my mother-in-law's injury, but she is not happy about it!" Mu Fengzhen's face was full of resentment.
Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao each took half an apple and made no explanation.
Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that it was not their fault. How could Mu Fengzhen have the nerve to say that?
"Second sister, please speak with conscience." Mu Jingyun frowned speechlessly.
Mu Fengzhen sneered: "If I don't have a conscience, they will go to the stall to make trouble today! What kind of soap will you sell in the future?"
Su Tang was frightened!
Soap stalls are now the most fashionable place in the county, similar to the internet celebrity check-in spots of later generations.
If the Liu family went to the soap stall to cause trouble, it would definitely affect business.
"Sister, do you know there's a private butcher shop in the county? The son of that family tried to mess with my business and was beaten to a cripple."
Mu Fengzhen subconsciously looked at the two-meter-long wooden sword and swallowed her saliva: "You, it's illegal for you to hit someone!"
"If he doesn't sue me, then he's not breaking the law." Yu Miaomiao shrugged, her eyes as cold as snow. "If he wants to sue me, that's fine. The court will definitely be open after the seventh day."
"!!!"
Mu Fengzhen's eyes widened, and it took her a while to organize her words: "You, you dare to kill someone?"
"I won't do anything easily." Yu Miaomiao deliberately twisted her neck until it made a crackling sound.
Now, let alone Mu Fengzhen, even Mu Jingyun, the man beside him, felt a chill in his heart!
I regret making a big knife for her!
Seeing that the situation was not right, Old Lady Mu said impatiently, "That's enough! Second and third brother, just get 20 yuan together and give it to your eldest sister, and the matter will be over."
Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao became nervous at the same time.
If we compensate you today, then next time a customer accidentally steps on the soap and falls, we will have a precedent to refer to.
This must not be started.
Even if we get divorced or have a fight today, you can’t pay compensation!
Su Tang took a step forward and was about to speak, but Mu Jingzhou said, "No."
"Third brother!" Mu Fengzhen was shocked. She didn't expect that her brother wouldn't give her money either.
Isn't it just twenty yuan? Both of their families make dozens of yuan from selling soap, so what's wrong with giving her twenty yuan?
"If I'm in financial difficulty, giving you twenty dollars is no problem. But I absolutely cannot ask for compensation." Mu Jingzhou's angular face was tense. "I accidentally stepped on the soap, how can you blame the soap? If everyone is like you, how can I still do business?"
Su Tang was surprised and delighted, and gave Mu Jingzhou a thumbs up: You have some legal awareness!
Yu Miaomiao tilted her head in surprise and looked at Su Tang, as if asking: Isn’t your man uneducated?
"Third brother, do you want to force me, your sister, to death?" Mu Fengzhen covered her chest and asked with great hurt.
"Big sister, let's talk about the matter. Stop talking about this and that." Mu Jingzhou was also annoyed. "Your mother-in-law is also blind. She can step on such a big piece of soap."
Mu Fengzhen: ………
If it were a big bar of soap, who wouldn't see it? The key is... small!
She cut the two bars of soap her mother gave her into six pieces and distributed them to her parents-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
My parents-in-law love soap and use it to wash their hands and feet. Today, only a thin piece is left, which is not noticeable even if it falls on the ground.
Then, I stepped on...
After all, it was still Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao's fault. If they had given her a large bar of soap, wouldn't this have happened?
"Third brother, just think that your eldest sister is short of money and take out twenty dollars!" Old Mrs. Mu tried to smooth things over.
Anyway, all the eldest daughter wants is money.
Mu Jingzhou agreed: "Okay! My second brother and I will each lend you ten dollars."
"Write an IOU." Su Tang added softly.
"Didn't you say you would give it to me? Why are you writing an IOU?" Old Mrs. Mu turned around and glared at Su Tang angrily.
Su Tang said: "It's hard to explain the origin without a receipt."
Mu Jingyun seconded the proposal: "Yes! We need to write an IOU. Whether it is paid or not is another matter. We need to explain the situation clearly."
"Mom, look at them!" Mu Fengzhen stomped her feet.
Writing an IOU means that the money has to be repaid. Su Tang was just talking nicely, and sooner or later she would come to her with the IOU to ask for the money.
"Why is the family in such trouble? Don't bully your elder sister just because you can read a few words." Old man Mu also got angry and put down his hookah heavily.
This was the first time he got angry at his daughter-in-law. Li Lan was frightened and whispered to Su Tang: "Forget it..."
"Dad, I not only know how to read, but I also understand the law. I can pay the money, but I must write a receipt. If you don't want to, you can do whatever you want!" Su Tang held her head high and was as arrogant as a little rooster.
Seeing this, Yu Miaomiao also added: "It's okay for us to take a break."
It's a good opportunity to get a divorce!
Mu Jingyun frowned: "Wife!"
We agreed not to divorce again, but you forgot it in just a few days? I have to make her remember it tonight!
There was a silent threat in the air, and Yu Miaomiao quickly squinted her eyes, hinting: I didn’t mean that, I was just threatening them…
Mu Jingyun snorted coldly and turned his head away arrogantly.
Yu Miaomiao felt a chill in her heart: It’s over, I’m going to suffer tonight!
"Mom and Dad, Big Sister, are you going to watch me and my second brother get divorced just for these twenty dollars?" Mu Jingzhou asked.
The yard was so quiet that the only sounds were the wind and breathing.
Even Ah Huang knew to do it quietly to avoid being cannon fodder.
After a long while, Mu Fengzhen covered her face and burst into tears: "Then you can just watch me get divorced?"
"Oh my God, why am I so miserable!"
"I suffer from bullying even when I go back to my parents' home. Everyone bullies me. I might as well die..."
“…”
Su Tang was annoyed and slammed the door and went into the house.
Mu Jingzhou was also annoyed and quickly followed his wife's footsteps.
"Wife, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Mu Jingyun washed his hands and came to sit next to Yu Miaomiao.
How could Yu Miaomiao be in the mood to cook?
Being depressed by her mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law! Strike! Anyway, she and Su Tang had eaten meat in the county town, so they were not hungry.
"I feel uncomfortable and don't want to eat." Yu Miaomiao said, then turned and went back to the house.
He closed the door with extra force: bang—the sound made everyone's heart skip a beat.
The smile on Mu Jingyun's face disappeared instantly, and he turned his head very slowly to look at his elder sister.
Silent anger speaks louder than words.
"I, I..." Mu Fengzhen felt frightened when her second brother looked at her.
"Okay, okay, stop crying." Old Mrs. Mu felt very aggrieved.
Not only can he not cure his daughter-in-law, he can't even cure his own son! He raised him in vain!
"Mom, what should I do?" Mu Fengzhen asked crying.
Even though she is arrogant and domineering in her parents' home, she is just a little grasshopper in her husband's home!
Everyone blamed the mother-in-law for the fall. She also said: Don't go back if you don't get compensation!
She didn’t dare go home because she couldn’t get the money today!
What can Old Lady Mu do? She can't just watch her eldest daughter get divorced!
"I secretly saved some money, you can take it back..."
Mu Fengzhen wiped her tears and went into the house with Old Lady Mu. Just as she was about to turn over the money, Li Lan came in: "Mom."
