Chapter 239: 239 demanding debt 7

“You…” Seeing everyone’s discontent, Granny Sun stopped her wailing, “Who said I definitely want to take their house? If Su Qingyue returns the money immediately, she can pay as much as she owes. In case she can’t repay…”

Su Qingyue coldly said, “Before nightfall today, I will repay my debt. If I can’t,

Xiao’s house will be yours.”

“Pay back the money immediately!” Granny Sun didn’t fall for it. If she pressed for the debt now, she would get the house right away. By nightfall, who knows what tricks they might play.

Sun Chen-shi snorted, “I thought there was going to be some compromise again… ”

Su Qingyue was no longer polite, “I’m giving you two options. First, by nightfall, I’ll give you ten more copper coins as today’s interest, plus the 4 taels I owed you and seven hundred and ninety copper coins, making it a total of 5 taels. Second, I won’t give you anything, and you can get out of the Xiao’s house immediately!”

“Why should I leave? You’re just trying to deny the debt…” Granny Sun hadn’t finished talking when Su Qingyue’s icy gaze swept over her, “You don’t have the IOU, so I can deny it. There’s no need to be reasonable to someone like you. If I have to deny it, it’s because you forced me.”

“Listen, guys….” Granny Sun wanted to wail again.

“Shut your mouth! If you keep shouting like a ghost, you won’t get a thing!” Su Qingyue was impatient, “Without the IOU, you can’t even win a lawsuit. Don’t talk about denying or not, if I really wanted to deny it, the Xiao Family wouldn’t have admitted owing you money from the beginning. Be sensible and come for the 5 taels by nightfall.”

Granny Sun opened her mouth, watching the Xiao’s house slip from her grasp. Her wrinkled old face turned green with anger.

Sun Laijin also advised, “Mom, let’s just wait until nightfall. It’s not worth it for just one day. If Su Qingyue refuses to acknowledge it, our loss will be even greater… Besides, we can get ten more copper coins.”

“Hmph! Fine, we’ll wait until nightfall!” Granny Sun stomped her foot, “You guys all heard it, Xiao’s house will be mine if they can’t come up with 5 taels of silver by nightfall!”

“So be it.” Xiao Yishan’s steady voice came from inside the room. Although he didn’t think his wife could come up with 5 taels of silver, he was already planning to use the house to pay off the debt. At most, if they couldn’t come up with the money by nightfall, they would still use the house as collateral.

Upon hearing Xiao Yishan’s promise, since he had always been a man of his word, Granny Sun seemed to have taken a reassurance pill and left with her son and daughter-in-law.

Aunt Zhang began to worry about Su Qingyue, “Wife of the Xiao Family, 5 taels of silver is not a small amount of money. Many farmers can’t save up that much even in a few years. Where will you get the money?”

“I’ll find a way.” Su Qingyue helped Xiao Yuchuan sit on the bed in the room, leaning his back against the wall. She asked, “Second brother, I remember you still have a lot of goods left to sell, right? Can I help you sell them?”

Xiao Yuchuan looked at her with concern, “Wife, it’s my fault for being useless. Today, I let people bully us like this. You can make the decisions for the family matters.”

Su Qingyue went into the yard, saw that there were dozens of people watching outside the courtyard, and said, “Everyone, my third brother hasn’t been very well, and you all know he sells goods for a living. A few days ago, he ran into a vendor from a neighboring village. My third brother was planning to sell all the goods in his hands in the next day or two. The neighboring vendor said if my third brother was willing to sell the goods below cost to him, he would buy all of them. Since we are selling at a loss, we might as well sell cheaper to our fellow villagers. If you have anything you want to buy, please have a look first..”
