"Fourth Uncle, please give me a few more days. My sister will send me the money soon, and I will deliver it to your door in person when the time comes."
"Hmph, in that case, you can mortgage the house to me first. When your sister sends the money back and you pay me back, the house will still be yours."
Lin Qingqing had no impression of Xue Guixiang's sister at all. Perhaps Xue Guixiang never received a reply from her sister until her death in her previous life. She also didn't know how Xue Guixiang repaid her debt in her previous life.
"Fourth Master, my family owes you sixty dollars, right? Give me a month and I promise to pay you back."
"You're such a big shot, little kid. What are you going to use to pay off the debt if you can't pay it back?"
Du Laosi looked at Lin Qingqing with ill intentions. This girl was so pretty. He had never seen a woman more beautiful than this girl in his sixty years of life. If he could sleep with such a woman for one night, it would be worth it even if he died the next day. Why didn't he have a good life like the old widower!
"If I can't pay it back, this house is yours."
"A month is too long. Who knows what tricks you'll pull? Five days, I'll give you five days at most!"
"Just one month, I'll lend you one hundred and return you one hundred and fifty." Lin Qingqing insisted. The Zhou family was penniless, and she needed time to accumulate capital.
"What? One hundred and fifty?"
This time, not only Du Laosi was surprised, but even the onlookers were shocked. This young wife was so bold that she borrowed one hundred and returned one hundred and fifty. This was just nonsense!
Xue Guixiang also felt that her daughter-in-law was talking nonsense. What was the concept of one hundred and fifty yuan?
The richest person she knows is her sister. She heard that her brother-in-law earns more than 40 yuan a month. Eggs are five cents each now. The eggs bought with 40 yuan could probably be piled up into a small mountain!
One hundred and fifty yuan was undoubtedly a huge sum of money. Even a wealthy oil worker would have to save for four months without food or drink, let alone a newly married young wife. I was afraid that after a month, even if her entire family was smashed to pieces, they still wouldn't be able to raise enough money.
"Qingqing, let's not be stubborn. Mom will think of a way to deal with the money." Xue Guixiang wiped her tears and hurriedly stopped her.
She was afraid that her daughter-in-law would get carried away and make the matter out of control. She also felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, who had to worry about money right after getting married. It was all her fault as a mother-in-law who was incompetent.
"Mom, I'm not trying to be stubborn. I have a way to pay back the Fourth Master's money."
Lin Qingqing comforted Xue Guixiang and looked at Du Laosi again: "Fourth Master, do you agree with the conditions I just proposed?"
Du Laosi was calculating in his mind. He felt that Lin Qingqing would never be able to pay back this huge sum of money. If Xue Guixiang really didn't want to give up the house, he would have the final say on how to repay the debt.
Even if Lin Qingqing could really pay back the money, if one hundred yuan became one hundred and fifty yuan, he wouldn't lose anything! Why wouldn't he agree to something that benefited both sides?
Du Laosi's eyes sparkled: "Since my grandson's wife has spoken, it would be unkind of me to disagree. However, words are not enough. While the neighbors are here, let's sign a written agreement to prevent people from accusing me of bullying the younger generation by relying on my age."
The onlookers were all worried for Lin Qingqing. If this document was signed, what would be the difference between it and a contract to sell one's body?
Before liberation, Du Laosi's family was a landlord, and they had many ways to control people. How could a little girl like her get such a large sum of money? Wouldn't she be bullied by Du Laosi in the end?
Unexpectedly, Lin Qingqing remained calm and said, "Okay, let's do as the Fourth Master says. I'll sign the agreement right away."
