Lan Guoer didn't know what to say to her at this moment! She spread her hands indifferently, and Long Xiangling had already rushed into the house to get paper and pen.
After quickly writing the terms, the two signed and put their fingerprints on the agreement in front of everyone.
An hour later, when Zhang Lan got the news and rushed to the compound.
People were walking around and coming to watch the fun, and there were even more people than before.
Aunt Hua has been waiting from the beginning until now.
Seeing Zhang Lan rushing over, she stepped forward and said, "Hey, Zhao's daughter-in-law, you're finally here! Everyone's been waiting for you to make the decision!"
To prevent any further complications, Lan Guoer sent someone to look for Zhang Lan.
The person who found her just told her to come to the compound as soon as possible, as if the situation was very urgent. She thought something had happened to Mr. Zhao!
I never expected it to be such a scene.
She glanced at Meng Jiao in the crowd and just saw her giving Lan Guoer a provocative look.
She suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.
"Why are you coming here instead of staying at home?"
Before she could answer, Aunt Hua came over and explained the bet between Lan Guoer and Meng Jiao to her clearly and plainly in a few words!
Finally, he couldn't wait and urged,
"Mr. Zhao, please tell us quickly. Is this really like what your daughter-in-law said? It was the Su family girl who asked you to do something, and in the end, she even asked you to pay for it?"
Ever since hearing the words "tenfold compensation," Zhang Lan's mind had wandered. She barely registered a single word of what Auntie Hua said next.
I stood there in a daze, unable to come back to my senses for a long time!
It was Aunt Hua who saw that she was not in a good state and shook her arm, which brought her back to reality.
"Auntie, I don't think I heard clearly what you just said."
Zhang Lan tried her best to act normal, but her trembling voice betrayed her emotions.
She had already made an estimate in her mind, and just now she went to the black market to verify it with the bicycle collector. All in all, she would have to spend another 60 yuan to buy a brand new bicycle.
Ten times! That’s six hundred yuan!
This is all their family assets!
Even though she had experienced storms again, Zhang Lan's heart could not calm down at this moment.
What sin had she committed in her past life? Why did God send such a scourge to torture her...
Meng Jiao was in high spirits. Seeing Zhang Lan's expression, she thought that she was just like herself, thinking about the money that was about to come. She was so happy that she could hardly speak clearly.
She stepped forward, shook Zhang Lan's arm, and urged,
"Mom! I know I agreed to this bet out of loyalty, but the facts are the facts!
Please tell us all how Lan Guoer cheated our family step by step, and how much money we lost? So that everyone can have a clear idea!"
When Zhang Lan heard the word "money" again, she felt overwhelmed and her eyes were full of stars!
She couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep breath before she resisted the urge to attack her.
This matter was originally arranged between her and the department store. Until now, Lan Guoer still knows nothing about it. How can she have anything to do with them?
If her awful son hadn't gotten into trouble, what loss would her family have suffered?
Now, not only did she lose her bicycle, but she also had to bear the 600 yuan gambling debt. Zhang Lan wanted to kick her son and daughter-in-law out of the house!
She wanted to shirk her responsibility, but this happened in the military compound, under the nose of her own grandfather, and with so many aunts and grandmas in the compound watching. Even if she was shameless, could Mr. Zhao be as shameless as her?
With the old revolutionary's temperament, he couldn't afford to lose face even if he killed these unfilial descendants!
Now, the best thing for her to do is to admit the responsibility!
She just hoped that Lan Guoer would agree to reconcile with the department store because of her honesty.
In this way, at least she can still have a way out, so as not to lose both her money and her job.
"This matter has nothing to do with Comrade Lan Guoer!"
Zhang Lan steadied herself and spoke slowly.
"Here's what happened..."
Zhang Lan told everyone what had happened, and finally glanced at Meng Jiao vaguely. She really wished she didn't have a daughter-in-law like her!
"I'm so sorry! I've caused trouble to Comrade Lan Guoer and misled everyone!
I will honor the agreement between Meng Jiao and Comrade Lan Guoer, and I will send every penny of the compensation to Comrade Lan Guoer. I apologize to everyone here!"
Zhang Lan said this and bowed deeply to everyone.
"You've accepted the compensation, but you haven't told me how much your family has lost."
Long Xiangling and Zhang Lan had no friendship. Thinking of Meng Jiao's relentless attitude just now, she was still angry and spoke very rudely.
"By the way, you're not going to cheat on this and try to evade your debt, are you?"
Hearing the questioning tone, although Zhang Lan was angry, she also knew that it was her family who provoked others first!
She could only endure people's attitude towards her.
As for cheating? After her trip to the black market today, is there anything that Master Wu can't find out?
For her, lying is tantamount to seeking death!
"I just happened to inquire about it today. If I trade in that bicycle for a new one, there will be a loss of 60 yuan. Ten times that, that's 600 yuan. Don't worry, I will give every penny to Comrade Lan Guoer."
"Mom!" Meng Jiao suddenly shouted!
Ever since Zhang Lan told the story, Meng Jiao knew she was wrong! And she was so wrong!
This bicycle was actually won by her, Lan Guoer, for nothing? How could a tiny kid from her family win a bicycle in a lottery that she could never have dreamed of?
How unfair is the heaven! Why does Lan Guoer get all the good things?
And what about her? She lost again!
Although she didn't know how much money she had lost, she thought that with Zhang Lan's cleverness, she should be able to hide some of it, right?
Who would have thought that her mother-in-law would tell the truth like a madman!
She was angry and anxious, and rushed forward to shake Zhang Lan's body.
"Are you crazy? Why? That's the money we used to buy the house, why should we give it to her? Why?!"
She became more and more anxious and almost crazy as she spoke.
"No! I can't give it to her. That's the money we used to buy the house. It's our money! I will never agree to give it to her!"
