Chapter 154:

“What debt? Your saying I owe you 4 silver coins, where is your evidence?” Old Lady Bai, who looked very proud, stared at Doctor Lu while thinking: You dare to fight with this old lady? This old lady is not a vegetarian.

Doctor Lu didn’t get annoyed at all. His eyes unexpectedly looked calm. As if everything was beyond his expectation.

Well, it would be more strange if the Bai Family gave him money.

In these people’s eyes, there is no such thing as credibility, let alone the word people called ‘conscience’.

Since they were unkind, why should he be merciful again, right?

Doctor Lu said: “I am expecting you to do this dirty trick. That’s why I didn’t bring the real IOU letter. The thing you tore into pieces was an old prescription of mine. I didn’t bring the letter with your fingerprint in it at all.”

When Old Lady Bai heard this, she smiled and said: “You’re only trying to trick me. But sorry to say, I don’t believe you. The thing I tore is clearly the letter I put my fingerprint. Unfortunately, it was gone now.” The smile on Old Lady Bai’s face became wider. Her eyes were full of pride.

Doctor Lu shook his head: “I don’t care whether you believe it or not. But since you don’t have the heart to pay your debt to me, then I also don’t need to put a heart that we lived in the same village. You originally owed me 6 silver coins. You must pay me this amount. Good thing, I don’t need to go the government office to solve this matter, because Meng Daren came to the village today. I will ask him to handle this matter for me.”

Old Lady Bai was stunned: “6 silver coins? Didn’t you say it is only 4 silver coins? How did it suddenly become 6 silver coins?”

Doctor Lu coldly snorted: “When I wrote the IOU, I originally wrote 6 silver coins in there. But later on, you insisted that I should ask Zhao Lan for the other 2 silver coins. I thought as village folks, there’s nothing wrong to eat some loses, so I only plan to charge you 4 silver coins. But today, you even refused to pay 4 silver coins. In that case, then I’ll just do my business, you have to pay me the right amount, nothing more or less.”

Old Lady gritted her teeth in anger. However, she believes that she already tore the letter with her fingerprints, so Doctor Lu no longer has any evidence. Doctor Lu was only trying to trick her, but she was not a fool.

Doctor Lu didn’t say another word. He turned and walked away. Then, he went to Hu Changlin’s house. He learned that Meng Nan will come back before noon, so he went back home first. But before that, he said to Hu Changlin to call him once Meng Nan came back.

When Doctor Lu left, Bai Dazhu’s family came out and went closer to the old lady.

Mrs. Liu said: “Niang, did that old Zhangchun really brought the fake IOU?”

Old Lady Bai coldly snorted: “He certainly not, does he have a brain? If he really had a brain, why is he still a mere village doctor after so many years? Surely, he is only a piece of wood, with a paste brain.”

Bai Dazhu deeply thought about it: “That’s right, if he had a quick mind like niang, he will open his own hospital in the town to earn a lot of money. Why would he stay as a village doctor?”

Bai Dabao, who was standing beside Bai Xiaofeng said: “But grandmother, when you agreed to write the IOU, many people had seen it. If he really go to see Meng Daren, and many people testify for him, what will you do?”
