The Little Sister in the Cultivation World

Chapter 147 Want money? Write an IOU!

The village chief was a bit patriarchal to begin with, and his face turned black after being yelled at by his daughter-in-law. However, as a father-in-law, it would not sound good for him, a father-in-law, to scold his daughter-in-law.

With a "bang", Aunt Guihua slammed the table loudly and shouted, "Wang Yan, go out and ask around. You two are both working at the company, but now you come to tell us that you can't make a living?"

Aunt Guihua did not have this concern. She just felt that her mother-in-law was too easy to talk to.

That's why she, a daughter-in-law, was used to yelling in front of her parents-in-law, so she just yelled at them.

"Shut up, why are you yelling? Apologize!" Xu Bowen also realized at this time that there was something wrong with his wife's attitude just now, and scolded her in dissatisfaction.

I don’t know if it was because her mother-in-law had never treated her like this before and she was a little scared, or if she felt humiliated by Xu Bowen’s scolding, her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Did I say something wrong? It sounds nice that we are both working parents and the company even allocated us a house! But what is the reality? Others don't know it, don't you know it more?" Wang Yan glared at Xu Bowen with red eyes.

Aunt Guihua's chest rose and fell violently when she heard this. She said coldly, "Since the job is so bad, just buy it back. It will just give me back the money I paid for it. Anyway, we have a big house with many rooms, so we don't have to worry about not having enough space for you."

"Mom!" Wang Yan became anxious when she heard it, and looked at Aunt Guihua with some disbelief.

"I know that all these years you have always felt that it was unfair for a city girl like you to marry a country man. You saw with your own eyes what our family conditions were like at that time. We sold everything we had to bring you home." Aunt Guihua felt tired when she talked about this.

In order to marry this daughter-in-law and buy jobs for the couple, their family suffered from famine for several years.

“Although the bride price back then was not as much as what people in the city gave when they married a wife, it was not much different from what we have in our village.” Aunt Guihua looked at her daughter-in-law with a dim gaze.

She had no way to refute these words, so now she could only lower her head, wipe her tears and remain silent. After all, Xu Bowen was the man she had chosen.

Over the years, her parents-in-law treated her even better than her biological parents who favored boys over girls.

Now the second son of the family is going to marry a woman from the capital, and it is said that her family is quite prominent.

As a daughter-in-law from a small county town, what is there for me to be proud of?
"Although we haven't split up yet, you haven't contributed a penny to the family over the years.

Correct!
You used to bring money home, but that money was not enough for you to marry a wife and buy you a job, so this money has nothing to do with you two, do you agree?" This time, Aunt Guihua fixed her eyes on Xu Bowen.

"Yes!" Xu Bowen responded readily, but he lowered his head a little ashamed and did not dare to look at his parents.

When he bought the job, one job paid over 500 yuan, and two jobs paid over 1,000 yuan. How could he possibly earn over 1,000 yuan by himself before getting married, working hard in the countryside?

Wang Yan opened her mouth when she heard this, but in the end she said nothing. After all, what she said was the truth.

"Okay! Since you admit it, that's fine!" The village chief pointed into the house and said, "Guihua, go get the paper and pen from my room."

Xu Bowen was stunned when he heard this. When he realized what his father wanted paper and pen for, he suddenly looked up at the no longer young man in front of him, his face full of shock and disbelief, and exclaimed: "Dad?"

Is he asking me to write an IOU?

Although it is reasonable to write an IOU when borrowing money from others, that person is someone else, and I am his biological son.

Does he consider himself an outsider? Or what?

Aunt Guihua glanced at him without saying anything, then stood up and walked into the house. She was actually angry in her heart, because he knew that after buying them jobs, the family really had no surplus food at all, and they were in debt everywhere.

But they were so cruel that they didn't send a single penny home after working.

Things got better only after the second brother found out and made a special report to the army to get two months' salary in advance and sent it back.

This is also the reason why he did this after he spoke this time.

The village chief's eyes grew fierce upon hearing this and he shouted, "It's no use asking for anything. I can only lend you 500 yuan, no more." He still had two sons who were not married yet, and he couldn't put all his savings on just one son.

He didn't believe that the couple hadn't saved any money over the years.

Is this another attempt to take advantage of him? He doesn't want to be the victim this time!

Even my own son can’t do that!

When his mother put the paper and pen on the table in front of him, he wanted to turn around and leave.

But he felt a pain in his waist and knew that his wife was urging him to write faster.

Suddenly his eyes started to turn red again. He still couldn't believe that his parents actually asked him to write an IOU.

But that’s the truth!
He quickly reached out and grabbed the pen on the table, and quickly wrote an IOU on the piece of paper.

After handing the IOU to his father, he turned his head away.

The village chief took it and looked at it. After confirming that there was no problem, he took out a stack of money from his pocket. Each note was a Great Unity.

"This is five hundred yuan!" Then he handed the money he had counted out to him and said, "Count it yourself."

Seeing that her man had no intention of taking it, Wang Yan reached out and took the money.

She felt the money firmly in her hand, and then she smiled a little, saying, "Thank you, Dad. Don't worry, we will definitely pay you back."

After hearing this, the village chief raised his eyelids and looked at her, then said coldly: "Okay! Since you have come to this point, I will also tell you my thoughts all at once."

This sentence successfully made Xu Bowen turn his head again. He had a bad feeling in his gut.

But he still didn't say anything, just frowned deeply, and his face still looked bad.

"Your mother has just said that since you got married and got jobs, all the family savings have been spent, and you will not get a penny back. So if you split up the family one day, not only will you have to return the 500 yuan, but you will also have to forget about anything else except the house that you three brothers will share," said the village chief.

"Dad!" Xu Bowen stood up excitedly. This time he was really sad.

It’s not because he wants something from home, but because of his father’s attitude towards him now.

"Just because I asked my family for money? But you asked me to write an IOU, didn't I already write it?" He suddenly felt that the man opposite him was so strange!
