Chunni's eyes were wide open; she'd gossip about it with her grandma and mom when she got home.
The old lady was furious, pointing at Old Man Guan and demanding, "You've been having an affair behind my back?"
"Hehe, it's not exactly keeping it from me. You didn't ask, so I didn't say anything." Old Man Guan wasn't embarrassed at all. As long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was others who were.
"You have the nerve to ask me for money after cheating on your husband?" The old woman's voice trembled. The old man was like a coffin, not satisfied with just finding her, he even went out to find someone else!
"That house isn't even yours yet, don't you want half of it too?" Old Man Guan continued.
"Your family is borrowing this money too?" The old lady glared at Li Mancang.
Li Mancang looked completely innocent. "He never mentioned having an affair or gambling when he borrowed money. Several times, he said my son was in a car accident, and another time he said I had cancer—both were life-saving loans. How could I refuse?"
Old Guan glanced at Li Mancang sideways; this old fellow was even more cunning than him.
"Bullshit, your son is the one who..."
Seeing Chunni raise her hand, the old lady swallowed the rest of her words.
"Okay, I'll cover everything for you, and we'll divide the house right now." Compared to the house, this is nothing, and the old lady didn't want to argue anymore.
“This is a famine, it’s not something that can be resolved by simply explaining things. The money still needs to be paid back. This is no joke.” Old Man Guan looked at the old woman.
The old woman said, "Where would I get money?"
"How can you manage if you don't have money? You're partly responsible for this famine, aren't you? Let's talk about other things later if we don't clarify the famine situation," Old Man Guan said indifferently.
"No way!" the old lady immediately objected. The relocation was imminent, and besides, when was she supposed to talk about it? What if the old man ran off with the money? Where was she supposed to find him?
Li Mancang put the IOU away. "Uncle Guan, if you don't pay it back, we'll just have to take the house as collateral."
"Okay," Old Man Guan immediately agreed.
The old woman said, "No, I don't agree!"
"If you don't agree, then give me the money. I can't let this money go to waste, right, Uncle Guan?"
"Yes, I'm not the kind of person who reneges on debts."
Old Guan and Li Mancang were singing in unison.
"Half of that is 280,000 yuan. I'll give you an IOU, and I'll pay you back after the house is demolished," the old lady said, steeling her heart.
Li Mancang glanced at Old Man Guan, whose eyelids were drooping.
Li Mancang: "Fine, but you can't write an IOU. Your son or grandson has to. You're so old. What if you wake up one day and don't wake up, or fall down and lose all your money? Wouldn't I be blind?"
The old woman gasped for breath, "I'm much younger than you, I'll definitely live longer than you!"
“Grandma, look at your face, it’s dark, your eyes are swollen, your lips are purple, your forehead wrinkles are widening, and you’re trembling all over. You definitely won’t outlive my dad,” the third son added.
The old lady... she's angry.
"My son is still at the police station, he can't sign."
“Isn’t your daughter-in-law right here? They’re a couple, it doesn’t matter who signs, we don’t care,” Chunni said with a smile.
The daughter-in-law... she got nothing, but was burdened with a famine of over 300,000 yuan?
"Fine! We'll sign!" the old woman said through gritted teeth.
The daughter-in-law said, "Mom, we haven't even spent this money, why are we signing an IOU?"
