The Xu family worked together to take the knife away, and at this time Yu Lianren's mind, which had been driven away by anger, finally returned to normal.
He was lying on the ground, being held down by the Xu family, his eyes anxiously searching for his son Yu Shengli, fearing that something had happened to his only son.
He himself found it harsh to hear, let alone his disabled son?
Even if the Xu family wanted to get rid of their creditors, they did not take it out on Yu Shengli, a disabled person. They still had a conscience and just kept an eye on him to prevent him from causing trouble.
The situation suddenly became very awkward, with both sides standing on their sides, not knowing how to end it.
Xu Jiaren was stabbed for her bad mouth and was dragged to the infirmary for treatment by her mother. However, Yu Lianren also lost 800 yuan in betrothal gifts, which was enough to marry two wives.
If we really talk about it, it is still unclear who suffered greater losses.
Father Xu was in a difficult position, so he just rolled over and said, "Xu Miaowa ran away. You've seen my little daughter's temper. There's no way she'll marry your son. Let's just settle it like that."
Yu Lianren's knife attack was illegal to say the least, and he wanted to use 800 yuan to get Yu Lianren to agree to settle the matter privately.
Still immersed in the panic and fear of hurting someone, Yu Lianren didn't react for a while. But Old Lady Yu was the first to jump up and object:
"Why? Your daughter has a gold trim? Oh, it has a small cut, and you're asking for 800 yuan. Where can you ask for that price?"
Her face was full of disbelief, and she pointed and spitted at Xu's father.
Father Xu found a random stool and sat down, crossed his legs, and twitched his toes. "It depends on whether Director Yu's work is worth the price."
Now both sides have leverage, and Dad Xu is not afraid of those who wear shoes when he is barefoot.
All members of the Xu family lost their jobs, but Yu Lianren was different. His supervisory job was neither high nor low, and he was still an official, but no one knew whether he was willing to give it up.
Once the Xu family calls the police and says that Yu Lianren stabbed someone, his job will be in jeopardy.
Similarly, the Xu family also has something on their side. If Yu Lianren were to give the 800-yuan IOU to the future husband of their third daughter, Xu Jiaren, the marriage would be in jeopardy.
The Xu family is now counting on Xu Jiaren to marry into a good family and help their younger brother Xu Jiabao, so nothing can go wrong.
Therefore, settling the matter privately is the best option. If the situation turns out to be a fight to the death, it will be embarrassing for both families.
When talking about work, Yu Lianren's eyes immediately became clear. He has paid too much for his work and has been humble and subservient to others. How could he give it up easily?
But 800 yuan is a lot, it’s the savings accumulated over many years!
Faced with this dilemma, he didn't know how to choose.
When Father Xu saw Yu Lianren hesitate, he knew he had grasped his pulse, and the corners of his mouth curled up:
"It seems Director Yu doesn't agree to a private settlement. Then I'll go see if my daughter's injuries are bandaged and take her to the police station to file a report."
Once this case is reported, Yu Lianren's job will definitely be in jeopardy.
Yu Lianren immediately became anxious and shouted, "No! You can't call the police!"
He secretly hated himself, wondering why he was so impulsive at that time and stabbed Xu Jiaren?
Now, someone has caught him and he dares not say a word for fear of ruining his future. He is caught in a dilemma.
Father Xu sat back and said, "It's up to you. If you want to make a scene, I'll play along. If you'd like to settle it privately, then that's it. It's your choice."
800 yuan, Yu Lianren’s supervisory job.
This is the difficult choice facing Yu Lianren, and no matter which one he chooses, it will be frustrating.
At the critical moment, the old lady Yu jumped out and retorted: "Why should we listen to you? Sell the house and give us 750 yuan to pay off our debt!"
After living for so long, Mrs. Yu deeply understands one thing: never follow other people's wishes.
Once you follow the other party's thinking, you will fall into a trap. No matter what you choose, it will not be a solution that satisfies you.
The old lady thought that being willing to pay 50 yuan was a lot. If her son's work was not important, she would not have spent so much money.
Father Xu, who was secretly expecting something, felt disappointed for a moment. He looked at the shrewd old lady Yu and said impatiently, "That's impossible. I don't agree. I'm going to call the police!"
Really, I was about to trick Yu Lianren, so why did this old guy come out to mess things up?
Old Mrs. Yu was also a little embarrassed.
The current situation was extremely difficult to handle, but she was well aware of the principle of asking for a high price and then paying it back: "700! 700 at the lowest. The hole isn't that deep. If you don't agree, forget it!"
No matter what, you can't lose the momentum. When you quarrel, it all depends on who has the loudest voice.
After a heated argument between the two, and with the help of two families trying to mediate, they finally agreed on 600 yuan, to be paid off within a year, and any amount exceeding that would incur interest.
