As the village chief's trusted aide, Da Niu and Da Niu understood the village chief's intentions. The village chief had let them grab Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu Er, not because he really wanted to chop their hands off, but to scare them off. Now that they had lost consciousness due to fright and given in, he immediately retracted his hand and stood by his side.
Even if he was just standing by his side and holding a shining kitchen knife, it was still very frightening.
Lu Yulian was so scared that he almost lost his courage. This group of people, they really wanted to chop off her and her daughter's hands!
This time, she no longer dared to be cunning. Her words spilled water, so how could she take it back. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue, "I promise that I will definitely return the clean money within three days."
"But as far as I know, during this period of time, your family's business was swindled into taking away a large amount of money. That's why you came to Xingyu Village to seek marriage. "Since you guys can't even pay back that money, how can I believe that you'll know about my money within three days?" Chen Mu Mu Mu wouldn't allow her to be careless, and he directly took her to the grave.
Madam Li's face instantly turned black. She stared angrily at Lu Yulian and her daughter, and asked hatefully: So you guys had no way to return the debt you owe to me, and said it in such a nice way. I even thought you guys were thinking of old friendships, and missed Xiao Feng and I so I came over, you two heartless bastards!
After going through all this, Madam Li was extremely disappointed in Lu Yulian and her daughter. She angrily turned around as she felt that her eyes were dirty from just looking at the mother and daughter.
Lu Jinfeng watched on coldly. One was his mother, the other was his fiancée, the other was a thief who had betrayed his entire family. It went without saying just who he was going to help.
He did not speak, but he felt that with so many people around, Madam Li and Chen Mu Mu Mu would be able to solve the problem.
Lu Yulian lowered her eyebrows. Facing the Madam Li's questioning, she could not reply, but Chen Mu's words could not be ignored.
She had never expected that Chen Mu Mu Mu would be able to find out about her background in such a short period of time.
In this situation, there was no room for her at all.
"Aunt?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chen Mu reminded her with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "If you don't speak, why are you still slashing your hand off?"
This damned woman, she hasn't even grown up, yet her heart is already so vicious!
Lu Yulian gritted his teeth in anger, but in front of everyone, he did not have a single way out for Chen Mu Mu. After thinking for a bit, he said: "Then let's use my shop to repay the debt, but I said it already, a shop would cost a hundred silver coins, not a single cent less."
"Heh heh, auntie, I'm afraid you're still awake, aren't you?" Chen Mu chuckled, "Your shabby shop doesn't even have much money in one day. At the end of the month, you still have to fork out some money to make up for it, and you even want a one hundred taels of silver. That's simply wishful thinking!"
Although he was indulging in fantasies, Lu Yulian still shamelessly blushed after rejecting such a blatant rejection.
She tried to defend herself: "That's because you're shallow. If someone who knows the goods can pay you two hundred silver taels per room, I'll give you one hundred taels. That's already considered generous!"
Did he really think that he could fool her with just a few words?
Chen Mu Mu smiled faintly, "Seems like I'm ignorant of goods. I didn't expect that your store would be so valuable." A trace of mischievousness flashed across her face, "Like aunt had said, your shop could sell for two hundred silver per room, five of them would be a thousand silver, then the five hundred silver that you owe me would be a piece of cake for aunt's sake. Aunt is so rich, so how about you pay me five hundred silver today?"
Lu Yulian was dumbstruck, she had just picked up a rock and threw it at her own feet.
She knew in her heart that two hundred silver taels a room was impossible. She had only told Chen had refused to accept her offer, where would she get five hundred silver taels to pay her debts?
Lu Yulian was both angry and resentful, but he couldn't show it on his face.
He took a deep breath and said hatefully, "Girl, you're too aggressive with your words. Even if my shop was worth a lot of money, it would still take some time to sell it. Where can I raise that much money in a day?"
"Then it will be three days. Didn't Aunt say that she would give me five hundred silver in three days?" Chen Mu smiled innocently.
It was all due to his own mouth! Lu Yulian really wanted to slap himself twice, to make his mouth slut, to make his mouth slut!
"This is a piece of ink paper. Aunt, I have already written an IOU for you. If you have no objection, then sign it." Chen Mu Mu didn't care how conflicted she was inside, she smiled and took out a brush, ink and paper, and handed them over to Lu Yulian.
Lu Yulian looked at the promissory note, which was written in black and white, and became even more nervous. He turned his head and said, "I'm not signing!"
Did she not know how to read? She had to pay back five hundred taels of silver within three days, and even bet her daughter here. If she did not raise the money within three days, then … Be responsible for the consequences?
Hm, take responsibility for the consequences?!
F * * k him, he had to take responsibility for the consequences! Was he going to sell her daughter to be a flower sister, or chop her daughter into minced meat to feed to the dogs?!
Lu Yulian thought, a mouthful of blood almost vomited from his heart.
Needless to say, with her current situation, she definitely wouldn't be able to afford five hundred silver taels in three days! She couldn't sell her daughter out.
He clenched his fists, exhaled a few heavy breaths, closed his glasses and opened them.
"Chen Mu Mu, what do you want?"
"I've already stated my condition. Auntie, it's just that you don't agree to it." Chen Mu laughed lightly, his face was calm, but in Lu Yulian's eyes, it was a jackal that was ready to pounce and bite someone to death at any time, "So right now, it's not about what I want, but what I want to ask Aunt."
Lu Yulian was desperate, she should not have competed with this little girl. With her intelligence, how could she be a match for Chen Mu Mu.
Thinking of Chen Mu Mu Mu's conditions, she sat back and grinded her teeth, "I can give you the shop, but not the land."
Ten acres of land, even if she was in ruins, but those ten acres of land were all fertile fields. No matter how much one sold them, it would still be a loss, not to mention the fact that one's ancestors could not afford to be abandoned.
If she bought the ancestral land, the elders in the clan would skin her alive.
"That's fine, but considering the market price, I've already let people take a look at all five of your shops. Although they are in the busy market, they have a narrow and remote face, making it difficult to make a profit. Chen Mu Mu smiled as he waved the promissory note in his hand. "Aunt, you know what I owe you? It's 500 taels of silver. Besides this 100 taels of silver, you still have 400 taels of silver left."
"Bullshit!" Lu Yulian was enraged, "My shop's Feng Shui is good, everything is good, and I am unable to profit just because I am not good at business, stop spouting nonsense!"
"Auntie, you know very well whether I'm lying or not." Chen Mu Mu Mu smiled as she replied without hurry, "To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that you can't afford the silver, I wouldn't want that shop of yours." "Since you don't want to sell it, I won't take it. Give me five hundred and twenty silver in three days."
"You!" Lu Yulian's breath became heavy, but he was unable to release it. He could only stare at Chen Mu in hatred, as he attempted to use his gaze to kill Chen Mu.
But how could a gaze kill someone? Being stared at a few times was nothing.
Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't seem to mind as he urged her with a smile, "Aunt, hurry up and sign the contract. Everything will be done according to your wishes. You can't be unsatisfied with this. I lost so much money, so I have to live my life as well.
Lu Yulian, "..."
She had lost. She thought that Chen Mu Mu Mu was just a little brat that could be easily fooled. Only now did she realize that her opponent was a fox, a fox that could kill without paying a price.
Lu Yulian closed his eyes and poked his palm with his fingers for a long time. Then, he finally replied in a low voice, "Chen Mu Mu Mu, if you want my five stores, it's not impossible.
Were they preparing to set a trap for her?
Chen Mu Mu's smile didn't waver. "If Aunt has something to say, please say it. Mu Mu will be watching the situation." Although brothers have to account for small amounts of money, I can still tolerate small amounts of money. "
That's what I was waiting for!
Lu Yulian raised his head and looked at Chen Mu Mu, "Five rooms for a total of two hundred silver, it is not possible to lose even a single cent."
Originally, she wanted to sell it for three hundred silver taels, but she knew that if it was three hundred silver taels, Chen Mu Mu Mu would refuse without hesitation.
At that time, her store would not be able to sell out, and she would even lose her daughter.
Chen Mu Mu Mu pondered for a while, before nodding his head, "Alright, let's do as Aunt says. Two hundred silver taels then."
This time, Lu Yulian knew the severity of the situation, and did not continue to ask. A shop with forty silver coins was not impossible to accept.
"There's more." Lu Yulian paused for a while, as though it was difficult to say what was going to happen, "Didn't you say that if you give me ten more acres of land, I will owe you everything?"
"10 mu of land for 300 silver." Chen Mu Mu looked around with a troubled expression on his face, "Aunt, are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"
"A gentleman will never be able to keep up with his words." Lu Yulian was anxious. This little bitch, she promised him everything, but now she had changed her mind! It was only with great difficulty that she managed to convince herself to sell her land. Those ten acres of land were all good land and she was reluctant to sell it!
Chen Mu glanced at her before replying, "Aunt, I'm not a gentleman. I'm a woman."
Confucius said that only the vile and the female are difficult to raise.
She was a woman, and was one of the most difficult people to serve. To speak of a gentleman to her was simply a joke.
"The people around us heard what you said just now!" Lu Yulian became anxious, afraid that she would not want the ten acres of land, and said loudly: "You said that five shops and ten mu of land would be enough to cover all of my debts, Chen Mu Mu Mu, you are a businessman, don't you want to go back on your word?"
Businessmen were the most afraid of breaking their word.
If she didn't keep her promises, who would dare to do business with her in the future?
Lu Yulian felt that she had grabbed Chen Mu's life vein.
Look, the surrounding villagers were all staring at Chen Mu Mu. If she had the ability, why not she go back on her word and take a look?
Seeing Lu Yulian's gaze, Chen Mu Mu Mu laughed inwardly, and her face revealed a dense helplessness: "Alright then, since I'm the one who said that, then let's do it. Wait until Aunt gives me the land deed for the shop and the land deed for the land, then we will write off all our debts."
Write-off...
Lu Yulian's eyes lit up as he stared at Chen Mu slyly, "Then, why didn't you inform the county magistrate?"
"Nope." Chen Mu replied straightforwardly.
"Then why didn't you say Qiu'er and I were thieves?"
"I won't mention it, but since it looks like someone else's mouth, I don't care." Chen Mu Mu Mu said.
That was enough. Lu Yulian muttered to himself for a bit, then nodded: "Deal."
After finishing her sentence, she stood up and walked into the courtyard she and Lin Qiu'er were staying in. She then took out a palm-sized money bag and pulled out a neatly folded land deed agreement from within.
"Check it out. Once it's done, burn that promissory note."
