Chapter 41
Lu Dashan had just woken up at this moment. Before he had time to catch his breath, he saw a large group of people coming in front of him. His eyes went dark and he almost fainted again.
Fortunately, the captain called him in time before he fainted.
"Lu Dashan, let's discuss your compensation to Lu Chen now, so cheer up!"
The captain's roar successfully woke Lu Dashan up.
He looked at the commune leaders around the team leader with horror on his face. Just as he was about to ask for mercy, the commune leaders seemed to know what he was going to do and raised their hands to interrupt him.
"Okay, there's no time to lose, let's get down to business."
When Lu Dashan saw the looks on the leaders' faces, he knew that his request for mercy was completely hopeless.
He could only wait for the final "judgment" in despair.
It was not until he finally heard Meng Xuan repeat Lu Chen's request that he was stunned.
Lu Chen didn't even ask him to go to jail? ! !
Is he really that kind?
When he thought that he didn't have to go into that place and his ending could be changed, Lu Dashan suddenly became excited.
He nodded frantically and agreed without even thinking.
"Okay, I'm willing to accept this outcome! I can return everything to him, as long as I don't go to jail, I can do anything!"
But he agreed immediately because of his emotions, but Jiang Guihua's expression changed.
It was rare that she was more intelligent than Lu Dashan, and she understood the meaning of Meng Xuan's words faster than him.
Although he said it lightly, his meaning was that they should return everything they owed to Lu Chen.
Everything. That's everything!
They owed Lu Chen some things, not to mention other odds and ends, just his father's pension, which was three thousand dollars, a full three thousand dollars!
They have to pay it back in full. Where did they get so much money?
Even if we sell them, we probably won't get that much money!
Jiang Guihua was already dumbfounded when she heard Meng Xuan's words, not to mention that she later saw Lu Dashan actually agreed to this request.
Crazy, Lu Dashan is absolutely crazy!
"Lu Dashan, wait a minute, we can't do this..." That's what he agreed.
Jiang Guihua meant that they should try to beg for mercy and relax the conditions, but she was interrupted by Lu Dashan before she could finish her words.
"Shut up! What do you know as a woman? It's settled!"
After Lu Dashan realized that there was room for things to turn around and that he didn't have to go to jail, he regained his energy and spirit.
"The leaders have made their requirements very clear. It's not your turn to interrupt! Besides, we took the sunken things, so shouldn't we return them?"
Jiang Guihua was confused by his words. If Lu Dashan had not been under her nose the whole time, she would have thought that this person had been replaced.
After all, she and Lu Dashan have been married for many years, so she naturally knows very well what kind of personality the person next to her has.
She knew very well that Lu Dashan could not be such a generous person. How could he be willing to return all the money to Lu Chen?
But at this moment he...
Seeing Jiang Guihua still looking at him with a bewildered expression, Lu Dashan felt angry and really wanted to scold this bitch harshly, asking her why she didn't use her smartness when she should have been smart!
How could he really surrender? He was clearly just trying to deal with this group of people temporarily!
Also?
He has spent almost all the money, what can he give back? You can't ask him to vomit out what he has eaten, right?
Haha, that's of course impossible.
Just like Jiang Guihua understood him, he naturally understood Lu Chen as well. He knew that although he was ruthless, he was also soft-hearted. This incident had caused such a big fuss and he had lost so much face. Lu Chen's anger must have subsided a lot.
After that, he would apologize to him sincerely and return all the remaining money in the family to him, and then let Lu Chen see clearly the current situation of their family. There was no money, but his life was at stake. It was estimated that Lu Chen would not force him anymore.
As long as Lu Chen gave in a little, he would have a chance to catch his breath, and the captain and other commune leaders had no right to say anything.
As for the money he owed to Lu Chen, he could just pay it back slowly. Anyway, his demands were very low now. As long as he didn't go to jail, he would accept it even if his future life was poorer than before!
Just think of it as going back to the time when our family was very poor as a child!
Seeing this, the team leader and commune leaders there changed their opinion of Lu Dashan. After all, at this moment, Lu Dashan really looked like he had reformed and realized his mistakes.
But they felt relieved, but Meng Xuan beside them didn't think so.
There is a saying that goes, a truly bad person is bad to the core, and it is absolutely impossible for him to change his character easily and become good just by encountering some problems.
In his opinion, Lu Dashan is just that kind of person. It is impossible for him to wake up because of this setback. He is selfish in his bones. How can his habits of decades change so quickly?
Moreover, his response was too quick. I could tell it wasn't sincere.
After the captain and his team discussed it for a while, they finally looked at Lu Dashan with doubt and asked, "You know all these requirements and will carry them out, right?"
Lu Dashan nodded sincerely.
"I really admit my mistake and will return all the things I owe him. If you don't believe me, why don't we write an IOU and the leaders can serve as witnesses!"
Lu Dashan's words surprised the captain. He took the initiative to ask for an IOU, which showed that he was sincere.
The team leader and the commune leaders looked at each other and all thought this was a good idea.
Then he looked at Meng Xuan, using his eyes to tell him what he thought of the news.
Under everyone's questioning eyes, Meng Xuan had no expression at first, but then he suddenly smiled.
He looked at Lu Dashan and said, "Okay, then let's do as Comrade Lu Dashan said. It is indeed more convincing to write things down in black and white. After all, if someone violates the agreement in the future, there will be evidence, right?"
There seemed to be nothing wrong with what Meng Xuan said, and the team leader and the commune leaders did not have the slightest objection.
"Okay, then please ask Comrade Meng to call Lu Chen and ask him to come over to wash and see how to write the IOU. I'll go get some paper and pen."
After the captain finished speaking, he and Meng Xuan went their separate ways.
Meng Xuan quickly returned to the next room and told Lu Chen and Meng Yinyin about the conversation and discussion results here. Meng Yinyin's brain was not as fast as Meng Xuan and Lu Chen, and she didn't find any clues at all. However, after hearing Lu Dashan's reply, Lu Chen couldn't help but sneered.
"He's got a pretty good calculation."
Meng Yinyin frowned when she heard this, and couldn't help but ask Lu Dashan what his plan was.
Meng Xuan rolled his eyes at her, not wanting to waste time explaining. However, Lu Chen patiently told her about Lu Dashan's wishful thinking of temporarily agreeing to repay the money, and then dragging his feet like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
He did say that he would pay it back, and he might even return all the money he had at home to Lu Chen, and even write an IOU.
But what's the use of this?
An IOU is always an IOU, and it is just a piece of paper after all. He probably owes more than half of the remaining money, and it is such a large amount that he may not be able to pay it off even after his death.
Once the person dies, will the IOU still be useful? It will become a piece of waste paper.
As for the money he owed, it was completely gone with his death.
That's why Lu Chen said that Lu Dashan had a good plan. He might even think that he would be soft-hearted in the future and would not urge him to pay back the money.
But he miscalculated again this time.
After explaining to Meng Yinyin, Lu Dashan was scolded by Meng Yinyin as expected.
But after scolding, Meng Yinyin still couldn't help but worry.
"Then according to Lu Dashan's plan, he is just going to be a lazy guy. He will definitely not be able to pay back the money, and it is impossible to beat him to death."
The most important thing is that even if we beat him up, we can’t get back all that money. That’s the most infuriating thing!
Meng Yinyin was so angry that her fair face turned red and she was filled with indignation.
"This old man is so bad!"
I guess I'm relying on the fact that they don't dare to use force.
"Why not just send him to prison? He won't get his money back anyway, so why not let him live in misery for the rest of his life?"
At least this way they will feel better and at least they can breathe a sigh of relief, right?
However, after hearing what Meng Yinyin said, neither Lu Chen nor Meng Xuan agreed with her suggestion. Instead, Lu Chen gave her a soothing look and continued.
"Don't worry, I've already thought about it."
In fact, the reason why Lu Chen asked Lu Dashan to pay back the money and end the relationship was that he had naturally guessed that he would do such a thing.
Since he dared to take the initiative to ask for an IOU, how could we not satisfy him?
Although Meng Xuan didn't know how he could deal with it, after spending the past few days with him, he had already realized that Lu Chen was not a simple-minded person. On the contrary, he was actually a brave and resourceful man.
Especially those who are able to endure hardships and work hard, and can lie low for a long time for the sake of their goals, will surely achieve great things in the future.
"Okay, since you have a solution, let's go over there."
Meng Xuan didn't want to waste any more time, so he quickly called King Lu Chen to go next door.
Seeing this, Meng Yinyin also followed happily.
She was really curious about how Lu Chen would deal with Lu Dashan.
When they arrived at Lu Dashan's house, the captain happened to bring over a pen and paper. Seeing that all the people involved were present, he began to speak.
"Okay, since both of you are here, let's follow your earlier request, Lu Chen, and let Lu Dashan return the money that belonged to you that he took away."
After saying that, the captain turned and looked at Lu Dashan, his tone darkening.
"Lu Dashan, that's enough. You and Jiang Guihua should quickly take out the money. Exchange as much as you have. If you still need money, just write an IOU and try to pay it back as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Jiang Guihua reluctantly opened the small box where she kept her money. There was indeed not much money left in it. Originally, Wang Chengwu had borrowed 300 yuan from them, and he had almost borrowed it all. However, Wang Chengwu returned the money to them when he left. So now Jiang Guihua counted the money and found that there was 450 yuan left.
But there is still a gap of more than 2,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan.
Jiang Guihua reluctantly took out all the money and handed it to the captain, saying, "Captain, this is all the money we have now. There is not a penny left!"
Her tone and expression didn't sound fake. The captain nodded and said, in fact, the money was quite a lot, just a little bit away from the outstanding debt.
However, if Lu Chen takes this money back, it will be enough to improve his current life.
He sighed and was about to ask Lu Chen to take the money back. As for the remaining money, he could only ask Lu Dashan to write it down as an IOU and then pay it back slowly in the future.
but……
What ability does Lu Dashan have to earn more than 2,000 yuan in the remaining time?
The captain finally realized this at this moment, and his mood suddenly became not so good. He even glared at Lu Dashan secretly.
Could it be that Lu Dashan wanted to fight because he owed Lu Chen a favor?
So, is the justice they are upholding for Lu Chen really fair?
Just when the captain was in doubt, Lu Chen on the side didn't even look at the money in the box, but said.
“This money is not enough.”
Lu Dashan had a comfortable, bitter expression on his face.
"Lu Chen, I know this money is not enough. I am really sorry for you, but this is all the money we have left..."
"After some time, when uncle is well again, don't worry, I will find a way to make money and return the remaining money to you as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will never default on your debt, not even a cent. If you don't believe me, let's write an IOU now!"
He looked sincere and earnest, as if there was really no other way out and he would really work hard to make money and make it back!
Shan Luchen couldn't help but sneered, then looked straight at Lu Dashan.
His eyes were precise and sharp, looking at Lu Dashan like a sharp sword, seeing through the little thoughts in his heart.
Lu Dashan felt panicky and inexplicably nervous.
He wondered if Lu Chen knew that he was planning to become a lazy bum.
But just as he was thinking this, Lu Chen finally spoke again.
Just listen to him.
"You don't need to write the IOU for now. Let's first count the things in your house and this yard and see how much they are worth."
