Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 5 Relief
Cheng Biao saw that the husband and wife had the same tone, and seeing that he was unable to push them, he was so angry that he used his trump card.

"Don't sell?! If you don't sell, pay back the money! Pay it back now! You have to pay it back today!"

Liu Ying's lips trembled slightly, and she begged with sobs: "His uncle, the new guy just came in yesterday, and A Yuan hasn't gone to the city to start work yet. The family... really can't raise the money to repay, so please forgive me for a while."

"No!" Cheng Biao's wife spit out the melon seed shells and rushed out chirping, "Isn't your daughter-in-law a eldest lady from the city? Your family has climbed to the top, how can you have no money?! Don't give up! make excuse!"

Aunt Biao shouted in a shrill and loud voice: "If we don't sell the land, we will pay back the money immediately! If we don't pay back, we will go to the village committee to solve the problem! If we don't pay back the money we owe, is there any law?!"

Liu Ying was so ashamed that she stepped forward and whispered: "His aunt, keep your voice down...the neighbors are all coming out..."

It's very quiet in the countryside. If any house or house makes a louder noise, it will be heard far away.No, the neighbors all came out to watch the fun.

Aunt Biao glared at her with raised eyebrows and put her hands on her hips and screamed: "I am so loud! Let everyone in the village know that you will not pay back the money you owe!"

Liu Ying was so frightened by her that she staggered, and the honest man burst into tears.

Cheng Tianyuan's face was sullen, his fists were clenched hard, and he was about to have an attack - Xue Ling hugged his arm and pulled him back.

The next moment, she quickly stepped forward to support Liu Ying and shouted at Aunt Biao: "Who said we won't pay it back?! We haven't even discussed how to withdraw the money, and we just missed it for a while, so we kept yelling! Who doesn’t know that people in the countryside rely on growing crops in the fields to make a living, but you are still Tianyuan’s uncle and aunt! You actually forced our family to sell their land!”

Xue Ling walked away and shouted: "All the uncles and aunties in the village and fellow villagers, please come and comment! Brother Yuan and I just got married, and my cousins ​​​​and aunts came to collect debts and forced our family to sell land! Do you think there is anyone in my family who goes too far?"

Cheng Biao used to be a lazy second-rate man. His wife was unreasonable and took advantage of the villagers all day long. Everyone had long disliked her.

Everyone had just eaten the sweet and delicious wedding candies in the city from Xue Ling earlier. They had a very good impression of her new sister-in-law, and they quickly joined in and scolded Cheng Biao and his wife for going too far.

"They're having a happy event! Just do whatever you want - it's too much!"

"It's our village and our family, how can we force them to sell their land! The Tianyuan family has nothing valuable except the land and these two adobe houses. If you take the land away, what will they do if they have no crops to eat in the future? !”

"Yes! It's so inhumane!"

When Xue Ling yelled like this, the villagers scolded Cheng Biao and his wife until they were bloody.

At this time, Xue Ling pulled Cheng Tianyuan and whispered: "Help our mother!"

The scene was chaotic, Cheng Tianyuan took advantage of the situation to hold his old mother's arm, and saw her running back to the new house and slamming the door with a "bang!"

He frowned - was she scared? !
It is said that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, leading to disaster, but his newlywed wife flew away on her own.

After all, Cheng Biao was a man who was born to save face. When he saw people in the countryside pointing at him and scolding him, he felt embarrassed and hid behind his chubby wife.

Aunt Biao's face was red and her neck was thick. She was about to smash the jar and screamed: "It's none of your business! Anyway, we have to pay back the money today. If we can't pay back, we will pay for it! It's a full 200 yuan! Who among you can help their family?" Pay back? Pay back?"

In the early 80s, in small rural places like Chengjiacun, ten yuan and five yuan were big bills. Anyone with a 100 yuan bill could be considered half a millionaire.

It is possible to help with words, but it is certainly not possible to help with repaying money.

As soon as Aunt Biao finished speaking, everyone in the audience fell silent. Everyone lowered their heads, and some even took several steps back.

200 yuan – that’s a lot of money!
Aunt Biao was so proud that she shook her fat double chin and said with raised eyebrows, "What? If you have the ability, just pay it back? Why don't you complain if you don't have the ability! Get out!"

Then, she stretched out her dirty, fat hands in front of Cheng Tianyuan and her son, shouting: "Pay it back quickly! Pay it back immediately!"

Cheng Tianyuan gritted his teeth tightly and spoke calmly: "Five days! Folks, please bear witness to me, Cheng Tianyuan, that I will definitely be able to pay you back in five days."

Aunt Biao sneered and shook her head proudly, screaming: "No! You have to pay it back today!"

"How can there be such a thing... Didn't I just get a wife? The family must be short of money."

"A Yuan has always been right in his word! He said he can pay it back in five days, why are you still forcing me like this?"

"You have to give yourself some time to collect the money. This is too much!"

A few older folks were more courageous and began to persuade them in low voices.

Liu Ying wiped her tears and begged with red eyes: "His aunt... A Yuan said five days, just five days. I beg you!"

She stepped forward, pretending to kneel down——

"Mom!" Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly tried to help her, but unexpectedly, a figure quickly came in, one step faster than him, and pulled Liu Ying up.It's Xue Ling!

She raised her head high, straightened her body, and said loudly, "You don't have to wait five days, here is a brand new 200 yuan, I'll give it back to you!"

Everyone is dumbfounded!

Cheng Biao and Aunt Biao quickly grabbed it and touched the two shiny new banknotes with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Xue Ling raised her voice: "Where's the IOU? Take it out quickly!"

Aunt Biao swallowed secretly, took out the IOU from Cheng Biao's pocket, and handed it over.

Xue Ling took it, glanced at it, and handed it to Cheng Tianyuan behind him.

"Uncles and aunts, please help me bear witness today. All the money that Cheng Biao's family borrowed from our family has been repaid. If they dare to cause trouble for my family again in the future, don't blame us for being rude!"

Aunt Biao glared at her and mocked angrily: "My family is going to be rude!"

Xue Ling shouted loudly: "What kind of family are you? You come to collect debts when someone is newly married, and you force our family to sell their land at a low price! Are there any family members like you?!"

"That's right! It's too much!"

"Bullying people all day long!"

The villagers on the side started talking and talking, and Aunt Biao had no choice but to talk and didn't dare to speak again.

Cheng Biao rubbed the shiny and straight banknotes and couldn't help but mutter: "Where did the money come from? Is it too new? Could it be fake?"

Xue Ling raised his voice: "Open your eyes and see clearly! This is the first batch of banknotes that my dad specially took from the Central Bank to celebrate the wedding of Brother Yuan and I! If you dare to talk nonsense and frame up, it is false. Let's go to the police station to explain it now. !”

Cheng Biao used to be a gangster. When he heard the words "police station", he was so frightened that his legs went weak. He quickly grabbed his wife and ran away in despair.

Seeing the excitement, the villagers dispersed one after another.

Xue Ling was very polite. He carried a large bag of melon seeds in one hand and handed them one after another.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt! Come to my house for tea often when you have time! Thank you! Thank you!"

……

After Cheng's mother returned home, she immediately pulled Xue Ling and asked excitedly: "Lingling, where did you get so much money?"

Xue Ling smiled and replied: "My father gave me the dowry."

After the fertilizer factory closed down, Xue's father took his wife and daughter back to his hometown in the imperial capital.Later, he started a business partnership with someone, and his life became more and more prosperous day by day.

He had always been grateful to Cheng's father for saving his life, so Cheng Tianyuan went to the imperial capital in advance, and he agreed immediately.

The old couple only had one daughter, Xue Ling, and they were in great pain. Knowing that they had wronged her because of the hasty marriage, they prepared several boxes of generous dowries and 2000 yuan for her.

In an era when spending money was still ten cents or two cents, this was a lot of money!

However, she did not tell the truth. She only said that the 200 yuan was given by her father.

Cheng's mother ran into the house happily and told her wife how wonderful her in-laws were and how well-behaved her daughter-in-law was, even willing to give her dowry.

Cheng Tianyuan looked at Xue Ling with a sense of gratitude in his eyes, and whispered: "Thank you... I will pay you back the money in the future."

He thought she would run away from the chaos, but she actually went to get money to help him out - he was very grateful.

Xue Lingqiao smiled brightly. Seeing that there was no one around, she deliberately teased him mischievously.

"You don't have to pay me back, just pledge yourself to me!"

A faint blush appeared on Cheng Tianyuan's tough and handsome face. He turned around awkwardly and strode away, his back looking a little embarrassed.

Xue Ling was laughing from behind.
