Chapter 555
When the bride's mother heard this, she immediately yelled, "Hey! We didn't book the table! Why are we paying for it?"
“It wasn’t your order, but you guys still have a share.
Besides, this is your daughter's wedding banquet. Even if there are conflicts now, they are internal conflicts within your family and have nothing to do with us!"
"We don't care! We won't pay a penny for him."
Dong Fugui's friend who was following behind him chimed in:
"Auntie, after all, Brother Dong gave your family a gift of several thousand yuan. That's all his savings. It's okay to use it to pay for a meal, right?"
The woman still insisted and said she would not pay.
Su Miao curled her lips. She knew this would happen, so she suggested that they pay first. If they refused to pay, she could then ask to search the cabinets to see if there was any money or move things. This way it seemed much more reasonable.
She told the police about her demands and took out the agreement she signed with Dong Fugui.
After carefully reviewing the agreement, the police officer said to the woman, "According to this agreement, if you don't pay the balance by today, you will have to pay triple the amount, which is 1,500 yuan.
The girl said that the balance was 200 yuan, but because they had caused a scene, broke a lot of things, and affected their afternoon business, they had to pay an extra 100 yuan.
I suggest you pay the 300 yuan as soon as possible, and don't wait until it reaches 1,500 yuan, it's not worth it."
Hearing that the penalty would become 1,500 if she didn't pay today, Xiaoyun hesitated and tugged at her mother's clothes. The penalty was too high, so she might as well just pay it.
But her mother was stubborn and determined to put the blame on Dong Fugui. After all, who could guarantee that he could be caught?
"Humph! 300 is not a small amount, it's two months' salary! It's not our responsibility, there's no way we can pay it!"
Seeing that the woman refused to agree, the police offered a compromise: "Didn't you just say you knew where he kept his money? Then take it out and pay the merchant first."
Xiaoyun led everyone into the room, took out a small key from the base of the lamp, opened a drawer in the wardrobe, and exclaimed:
"Ah! Why am I out of money?"
There were only a few scattered coins inside, and the total amount was probably less than five dollars.
She instantly slapped her thighs with both hands, leaned back a bit, and burst into tears:
"What a liar! What an absolute liar!!! You said you could give my daughter a good life? How can I live a good life with just these few bills!!!"
Dong Fugui's friend hid behind the police and said sarcastically:
"Didn't your family ask for 5,000 yuan as a betrothal gift? They also asked for this and that, and Brother Dong emptied out the family's savings to come up with it. Now that 5,000 yuan is in your hands, what's there to cry about?"
"Shut your stinky mouth! Your friend is a marriage scammer, and you're definitely not a good person either! Public Security Comrades, arrest him! He must know where Dong Fugui is!"
"Comrade Public Security, this is none of my business! Dong Fugui and I met when we were doing small business. He's a really nice guy. I didn't know he could do such a thing!"
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Shopkeeper, we're out of money right now. How do you want to solve this?"
When the police asked these questions, Su Yuanzheng had just brought Meng Sui and Fang Zheng over, followed by a large group of neighbors who came to watch the fun.
Su Miao said:
"If the woman or the man's friend can pay on his behalf, then he only needs to pay 300 yuan. Otherwise, he will be considered in breach of contract and we require him to remove the TV and washing machine to pay off the debt."
When the bride's mother heard Su Miao's proposal, the expression on her face instantly twisted, as if she had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.
"Move away the TV and washing machine? Those are all our things!"
She jumped up and down and shouted, waving her hands in the air as if to drive away the objects that were about to be moved away.
"This is the betrothal gift Dong Fugui gave to my daughter. Why do you think you can just move away?"
She turned to the police, a look of help in her eyes: "Comrade Public Security, you can't just stand by and watch them bully people like this!"
Xiaoyun stood aside, with her head down, biting her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Mom, how about..." She just opened her mouth, but was glared back at by her mother, and swallowed the words back.
Su Miao looked calm and said frankly:
"We are the ones who are owed money. Dong Fugui ran away, and you are unwilling to pay. We can't just suffer the loss in vain.
Besides, you didn't get Dong Fugui's permission to move things, but we did. If you don't believe me, ask his friends."
As she spoke, she glanced at Dong Fugui's friends with a determined look in her eyes.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Dong Fugui's friends.
At this moment, these friends felt that the woman's behavior was too ruthless, so they nodded in agreement:
"That's right! Brother Dong just said he doesn't have the money right now, so he told them to move whatever they like as payment."
While the neighbors outside were on their way over, Su Yuanzheng had already told them the whole story in detail.
At this moment, each of these neighbors seemed like the embodiment of justice, standing up to speak for Su Miao and the others.
"Yes, yes. Su Ji usually does business very honestly. I didn't expect to encounter something like this."
"Since we've already signed the agreement, we should just stick to it. If you don't pay us, we'll just move our things. It's as simple as that.
Seeing this, the bride's mother was still unwilling to give in and wanted to try again:
"But! There's no need to move both the TV and the washing machine. Even though they were secondhand, they still cost over two thousand dollars!"
"Auntie, we used to be able to collect money directly, but now we have to go to the trouble of buying things. You bought second-hand, and we sell it third-hand! We have to sell it at a low price.
It also delayed my business for half a day. You can ask the neighbors, my business is pretty good, how should I calculate this loss?"
The bride's mother was really reluctant to part with these two appliances. They had talked Dong Fugui into buying them for a long time, so she discussed with her husband and decided to just give him the money.
Unexpectedly, the bride's father, who had been silent just now, firmly refused:
"No! If the money is paid, it means that Xiaoyun and his wedding is a done deal today! Even if the marriage certificate is revoked later, it won't be considered a first marriage. How are you going to let your daughter get married again in the future?
If we don't pay, then it's Dong Fugui's own business and has nothing to do with us! We shouldn't have anything to do with him anymore! Let them move!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands vigorously, as if to wave away all the troubles.
Alright! With this, Su Yuanzheng and the others didn't hesitate any longer. They immediately unplugged the power cord, packed up their things, and left. As for the mess behind them, they didn't want to participate in it anymore.
