I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

Liu Cuifen's sarcastic and acerbic voice was clearly transmitted to Jiang Chen's ears through the hands-free speaker.

Her face was etched with undisguised sarcasm and disdain, as if she was certain that the Jiang family would be humiliated today.

Jiang Jianjun and Wang Xiuying's faces had turned a deep purplish-red, and they were trembling with anger, but because they were in the wrong, they couldn't utter a single word.

A penny can drive even a hero to his death.

this is the truth.

However, Jiang Chen's voice on the other end of the phone was eerily calm.

"Okay, that's what you said."

Liu Cuifen scoffed, thinking Jiang Chen was bluffing.

"Yes! That's what I said! If you've got the guts, then go ahead and..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Chen's icy voice rang out again.

"Give my dad your bank card number now."

I'll transfer it to you.

Liu Cuifen's laughter stopped abruptly, and she froze.

The neighbors who had been watching the commotion all quieted down.

change?

Transfer now?

That kid's got way too much nerve!

Liu Cuifen stared suspiciously at the old cell phone in Jiang Jianjun's hand, completely disbelieving.

But since she had already said it, she could only grit her teeth, pull out a crumpled bank card from her pocket, and read out a string of numbers with some skepticism.

With trembling hands, Jiang Jianjun repeated the string of numbers into his phone.

Jiang Chen, on the other end of the phone, opened the mobile banking app with a blank expression.

He found the card number and entered it.

Transfer amount.

His fingers paused on the keyboard for a moment.

fifty thousand?

No.

A cold smile curled at the corners of Jiang Chen's lips.

When the money was borrowed, the aunt forced my father to write an IOU, which clearly stated "one percent monthly interest".

In rural areas, this is a typical example of usury.

Although it's not legally recognized, Jiang Chen is determined to acknowledge it today!

He wanted to use the money to thoroughly slap that mean and malicious face!

He entered the number directly—55000.

50,000 principal, 5,000 interest!

Not a penny less!

Transfer successful

Almost at the same time those four words popped up on the phone screen.

"Ding-dong!"

In the main room, Liu Cuifen's old smartphone suddenly emitted a crisp text message notification tone.

All eyes instantly turned to her.

Liu Cuifen's heart skipped a beat, and an extremely ominous premonition welled up in her mind.

She frantically pulled her phone out of her pocket and unlocked the screen.

When she saw the bank's notification of the deposit, her eyes widened instantly!

[Dear customer, your account ending in xxxx received a transfer of 55,000.00 yuan on November 30th at 16:22. Current balance...]

Fifty-five thousand!

Not a single point off!

Liu Cuifen's mind went blank with a "buzz".

She stared intently at the glaring numbers on her phone screen, feeling as if her heart was being squeezed tightly.

It really...it really turned around?!

How is this possible?!

How could that penniless young man in her eyes possibly casually produce more than 50,000 yuan?!

"Did you receive the money?"

Jiang Chen's icy voice, like a judgment from hell, came through the phone again.

Liu Cuifen's body trembled violently, and the hand holding the phone shook like a leaf in the autumn wind.

"Received...received..."

Her voice was dry, hoarse, and filled with unbelievable terror.

"Principal of 50,000, interest of 5,000, you haven't been shortchanged a penny, have you?"

"No...no..."

"Very good." Jiang Chen's voice was devoid of any emotion.

"You've taken the money; now it's your turn to fulfill your promise."

"My doorstep is right there, you can start licking now."

"I...I..." Liu Cuifen's face instantly turned from red to white, then from white to green, as if a dye shop had been opened.

Licking the doorstep?

How could she possibly lick it!

Those were just harsh words she casually uttered to humiliate the Jiang family!

The mocking and gloating gazes of her neighbors were like red-hot steel needles, piercing her deeply.

At that moment, she felt like a clown who had been stripped naked and was being displayed in public!

"What? You're scared now?"

Where did that arrogance go?

"Didn't you just say that it's only right to pay back debts?"

"Why are you pretending to be mute now that it's your turn?"

Every word Jiang Chen said was like a resounding slap across Liu Cuifen's face.

"I...I have something to do! I'll go now!"

Liu Cuifen could no longer stay there.

She screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, grabbed her bag, and without even bothering to greet Jiang Jianjun and his wife, she turned and slunk away amidst the laughter of the neighbors, almost fleeing in disgrace!

Her disheveled appearance was an ironic contrast to her arrogant and domineering manner when she first came to the door.

Watching Liu Cuifen flee in panic, Wang Xiuying could no longer hold back, covered her mouth, and burst into tears of joy.

Jiang Jianjun, holding his phone, had red eyes and trembling lips, unable to utter a single word.

"Dad, Mom."

Jiang Chen's voice came through the phone, carrying a hint of warmth.

"From now on, if anyone dares to act so wildly in our house again, just tell me."

"Our family owes no one anything."

"Son...my good son..." Wang Xiuying's sobs were filled with pride and joy.

"Ah Chen..." Jiang Jianjun finally found his voice, but it was thick with emotion, and he choked out, "Where...where did you get so much money? This is over fifty thousand..."

Jiang Chen smiled, a smile that came from the bottom of his heart.

"Dad, I've told you, your son has made something of himself now."

"This amount of money is nothing."

"As long as our family isn't mistreated, and as long as you can stand up for yourselves, it's all worth it, no matter how much it costs!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

The pent-up frustration that had been building up in my chest since my grandfather fell ill last year completely vanished at that moment!

I feel incredibly comfortable all over!

Just then!
