Chapter 43
Just when Lu Dashan thought that Lu Chen's humiliation and torture of him had reached its peak, he heard Lu Chen continue.
"Captain, I think the remaining fifteen hundred should be paid back within a certain period of time."
"There's a big difference between five years and fifty years, isn't there?"
After Lu Chen said this expressionlessly, he saw Lu Dashan's pupils suddenly dilate, and he almost burst into tears.
"Land sinking!"
He could no longer control his last bit of rationality and collapsed onto the land, screaming.
"Are you really going to force me to death? That's 1,500 yuan. Where can I find so much money to pay you back in a short time? You want me to pay you back as soon as possible. Isn't that asking for my life?"
"Why don't I just die right now? I'll die in front of you right now, and then you'll be satisfied, right?"
If his body had not fully recovered yet, and if there were not so many leaders here, Lu Dashan really wanted to go up and fight with Lu Chen!
He looked at Lu Chen's calm face, and regretted for the umpteenth time in his heart. Why did he think that Lu Chen was a weak person who could be bullied by him at will?
He is basically a wolf!
A vicious wolf that only knows how to watch from behind, waiting for the right opportunity to strike!
However, even though Lu Dashan's eyes were almost popping out of fire, Lu Chen still ignored him and continued to explain to the team leader and the commune leaders.
"He has been monopolizing my father's pension for more than 20 years. Count the interest on the money that was deposited in the post office over the years, and count the happiness he enjoyed with the money and the suffering I suffered."
"I set a time limit for repayment, which is not excessive."
Lu Chen's tone remained calm, but the words he said left the captain and his men speechless with no words to refute.
After all, he was right. If Lu Dashan hadn't taken away his father's pension, he wouldn't have had to live a hard life for so many years.
On the contrary, it was Lu Dashan, the thief, who used that money to make his family live a carefree life for so many years.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly felt that it was not too much to ask Lu Dashan to pay back the money as soon as possible!
After hearing this, the captain finally nodded solemnly.
"Okay, in that case, then you can set a time. After all, Lu Dashan has always been sorry for this matter."
Lu Dashan never expected that the captain would agree to Lu Chen's request so quickly. He widened his eyes and froze in place.
"Captain, how could you, how could you agree to this? You are going to kill me!"
"You clearly know how many work points I earn every year and how much money I get, and you want me to pay back 1,500 yuan myself. How is that possible?"
At that moment, Lu Dashan really wanted to die!
Everyone present could see that Lu Dashan's accusation was true at this moment, without any falsehood.
Seeing this, the captain was also in a dilemma.
This is indeed a problem, but Lu Chen’s demands are also very clear.
What should I do?
Just when everyone was at a loss, Lu Chen spoke again.
"Record his and Jiang Guihua's work points under my name, and also call Lu Jinbao back to work."
Even if the work points of the three people were few, they could still get hundreds of yuan by the end of the year. In this way, perhaps they could pay off the fifteen hundred yuan they owed within ten years.
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he would not be able to get back the remaining fifteen hundred yuan in such a short time, but was he really going to let Lu Dashan go?
Of course not.
Just because he doesn't say anything doesn't mean he doesn't hold a grudge.
Especially when he lived in Lu Dashan's house, he was always treated as a laborer by Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua, and was also laughed at and teased by his cousin Lu Jinbao, who was a few years younger than him. He has not forgotten all these.
Now, he was just letting Lu Dashan and his family relive everything he had experienced.
Lu Chen didn't think he had done anything excessive.
The others thought about it and thought this was a good suggestion.
After all, Lu Chen is the creditor of Lu Dashan's family. As long as it is reasonable and does not let Lu Dashan's family starve to death, and allows Lu Chen, the creditor, to get as much money as possible, such a proposal is acceptable.
Of course, Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua protested wildly, but it was not their turn to make the decision on this matter. After all, the recording of work points and year-end account distribution were managed by the team leader and the commune, so as long as the team leader and the commune leaders nodded, the matter was settled.
When Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua saw that the captain and his men had agreed, they were immediately disheartened. However, there was one thing they would never agree to, even if they died, and that was to let their son come back and farm with them!
Their son is a high school student. If he has the chance, he will want to settle down in the city. How can he go back to the countryside?
Although he has not achieved anything yet, good things come late, and they believe that he will have a great future!
As if he was afraid that the team leader and others would call his son back to be a farmer, Lu Dashan gritted his teeth and promised that he and Jiang Guihua would make up the work points and money his son owed!
This means that the couple will earn the work points and money of three people to pay off Lu Chen’s debt!
Okay, since they both love this son so much, Lu Chen will not force it.
In the end, with everyone's witness, the work points relationship between Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua was recorded under Lu Chen's name, and the two of them had to get the full work points of three people.
After the compensation was settled, it was time to move.
Because all the furniture in Lu Dashan's house was used as collateral, the couple didn't have to pack anything. They only took a few of their clothes and personal belongings. Then, with a grim face, they handed all the keys of the house to Lu Chen, and then went to the old yard next door.
Of course, even if they went to the old yard, Lu Chen did not let them live in his own house. Instead, he let them live in the house next door which was a bit dilapidated and not even cleaned at all.
The old courtyard of Lu Chen's house originally had three bedrooms. Lu Chen lived in one before, and later Meng Yinyin moved in and lived in one, so only the last one was left.
The last room has been unoccupied all year round, so naturally no one cleans it.
As soon as Lu Dashan and his wife entered, they were choked by the spider webs and dust inside.
But what made them angry was not only that, Lu Chen didn't even lend them a broom, and had to let them find a way to clean up by themselves!
After Lu Dashan and his wife handed over the keys to the house next door, the team leader and the commune leaders left, and Lu Chen and Meng Yinyin, brother and sister, also returned to the old courtyard.
Meng Yinyin frowned when she saw Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua talking to each other with a sullen look on their faces.
She really didn't like these two people, but it seemed that they would live here forever, which meant that she would meet them all the time.
Whenever she thought of this, Meng Yinyin felt a little resistant.
However, she was just a guest staying at Lu Chen's house, so how could she have the nerve to give him any advice?
Thinking of this, Meng Yinyin couldn't help but look at Lu Chen hesitantly.
When she turned around, she unexpectedly saw Lu Chen also looking at her.
As if he could see what Meng Yinyin was thinking, Lu Chen just whispered something to her.
"Don't be afraid."
Although there were only two words, they somehow calmed Meng Yinyin's anxious heart.
Then, she saw Lu Chen turn around and look at her brother Meng Xuan and speak.
"Comrade Meng, there are many rooms next door. You and Mr. Meng can choose the room you want to live in. We will move in today."
Move over!
Can she move there too! ?
Meng Yinyin's eyes widened in surprise, unable to hide the joy on her face.
When she visited Lu Dashan's home before, she actually envied their home and thought it would be great if she could live there.
Unexpectedly, one day she actually lived in this big house!
However, Meng Xuan, who was standing by, felt like mocking her because she looked like she had never seen the world.
When they were in the city before, they lived in a small two-story Western-style house. How could they have seen Meng Yinyin so surprised?
Tsk, it turns out that she is full of love. Look at how she looks now!
Meng Xuan really couldn't bear to watch it, but he didn't reject Lu Chen's proposal.
After all, there are better houses to live in, only a fool would not move in.
So the two siblings packed their things without any hesitation and went to the new yard next door.
When the two of them were moving things, Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua naturally saw it. The couple were so angry that their teeth were about to break, but unfortunately there was nothing they could do to stop it.
After all, the yard next door was now sunken, and they had no way of stopping him from letting anyone move in.
But the two of them cursed Lu Chen and Meng Yinyin in their hearts.
But then I thought, since they all went to live next door, there wouldn't be only the two of them living in this old yard. This would be more convenient.
That way, when my son comes back, he won’t have to live in such a crowded place.
They really didn't know how to explain to their son, and didn't know how to make him accept the sudden change in his family's circumstances.
If Lu Chen and his group move in, at least my son will have a separate room.
However, just when the couple breathed a sigh of relief, they discovered that Lu Chen had not moved anything.
For some reason, the couple's hearts suddenly sank, and a bad thought gradually came to their mind.
It shouldn’t be.
If you can’t sink, go live next door!
Their doubts were also Meng Yinyin's doubts. She couldn't help but feel puzzled when she noticed that Lu Chen didn't seem to have packed anything.
Lu Chen's explanation for this is.
"I know. You and your brother can stay next door without any worries."
But he didn't say more.
Seeing this, Meng Yinyin stopped asking questions and continued moving things.
She moved into the house where Lu Xiujuan lived before she got married. Because she no longer lived there, the house was kept very nice and clean, so she hardly had to clean it when she moved in.
As for her brother Meng Xuan, he moved into Lu Jinbao's house. There were too many things in the house, which he was a little disgusted with. But after all, it was someone else's home, so he didn't say anything.
Besides, he will probably be leaving in a few days, so he'll just have to stay here for a few days.
When the two siblings had almost finished packing their things, they saw Lu Chen was still in the old courtyard, so Meng Xuan came to Meng Yinyin's room.
He leaned against the door, watching Meng Yinyin tidying up her clothes while he spoke.
"Meng Yinyin, what do you think about you and Lu Chen?"
Meng Xuan's words were so sudden that Meng Yinyin was stunned.
Seeing that she didn't answer and seemed to be thinking, Meng Xuan didn't give her time and continued.
"To be honest, I didn't agree with you and Lu Chen being together at first, but I have to say, the longer I get along with this guy, the more I change my opinion of him."
Especially after what happened today, Meng Xuan's last bit of resistance to Lu Chen disappeared.
This kid is really someone you can trust.
A silly sister like his really needs to find someone brave and resourceful to protect her, otherwise she will probably have to pay for it if she gets cheated in the future.
Now it seems that Lu Chen meets this requirement, not to mention that he really holds this girl in his heart.
Tsk, is it true that fools really have good luck?
Meng Yinyin didn't expect her brother to think so highly of Lu Chen, and she felt inexplicably proud.
But, does her brother mean that they should really get married?
She, she's not ready yet.
Meng Yinyin's cheeks suddenly became hot and turned completely red.
Meng Xuan noticed her unconscious shyness and had already made up his mind.
"Okay, I know what you mean. I will go talk to Lu Chen. Just wait quietly for the news."
After saying that, Meng Xuan left quickly again. So fast that Meng Yinyin didn't have time to call him back.
No, did her brother really ask Lu Chen to marry him? !
This is too fast!
Meng Yinyin was angry and anxious, but her feet seemed to be rooted and she did not chase after him.
Well, it was her brother who said this, she didn’t say anything. If her parents ask about it, she will let her brother explain!
Thinking of this, Meng Yinyin was no longer worried.
As for whether Lu Chen is willing to marry her?
Meng Yinyin never doubted that having a wife like her was a blessing he had earned in his previous life!
Meng Yinyin was in a good mood and continued to pack her things.
Soon, it was getting dark. Meng Yinyin had just finished cleaning up when her brother called her loudly to go to the old yard for dinner.
Because Lu Chen hasn't moved in yet, they still eat there. Fortunately, the dining table is separate from that of Lu Dashan and his wife, otherwise Meng Yinyin felt that she would definitely have no appetite.
However, thinking that she was going to meet Lu Chen, Meng Yinyin's steps were inexplicably hesitant when she went to the old yard.
On the way back, she couldn't help but wonder, did her brother tell Lu Chen, what did he say, and how did Lu Chen react?
