Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 944 - 946: Do You Have an IOU?

Inside the house, An’an kept craning her neck to listen to the commotion outside. She was really scared just now, thinking she was doomed this time.

Fortunately, fortunately, there’s still hope. But she was still very worried, so she asked, "Sister, can brother-in-law really persuade those people from the old Zheng Family?"

"Yes, he can. Don’t worry."

At this moment, Xiaoxiao was not worried at all. Yang Ming was unwilling to spend fifty silver taels, so he must have some way; otherwise, he would have helped.

Seeing An’an still so absent-minded, Xiaoxiao thought it was better to have her do something to divert her attention, and so she said, "An’an, come over here and help me get the diaper from that bag."

"Okay, I’m on it."

Outside, the old man Zheng was furious at being ignored by Yang Ming. He suddenly stood up and shouted angrily, "You brat, looking for trouble, are you?"

This unexpected shout made the onlookers gasp, indeed it seemed he was about to hit the young man.

Yang Ming stepped forward two steps, coming in front of the old man Zheng. The height difference made the old man Zheng instantly appear smaller.

Yang Ming gave him a cold stare, his gaze like a knife. His lips curled slightly into a smile, seeming amused and unsmiling. He did not respond to the provocation but instead said, "An Family owes you twenty silver taels?"

Clearly a normal sentence, yet inexplicably chilling upon hearing. If Yang Ming could see himself at the moment, he would feel disbelief because he wasn’t such a person.

Faced with Yang Ming like this, the old man Zheng shivered inexplicably, but quickly became defiant, "What’s the matter, it’s a matter between me and the old An Family, you little brat have no say."

Yang Ming’s cold voice sounded again, "Ha, this matter I do have a say in."

The tense atmosphere made the onlookers dare not speak out anymore. They didn’t know where the man in front got such an aura, but it was inexplicably intimidating.

Yang Ming continued, "An Family owes you twenty silver taels. Do you have an IOU?"

As soon as these words were said, the old man Zheng’s face turned dark. In this poor hinterland, no one could read, so of course, there was no such thing. Lending something or silver to each other was just a verbal agreement, at best, having a witness, and he thought he could handle the old An Family, but didn’t expect a roadblock to appear.

Seeing the old man Zheng’s expression, Yang Ming said, "No? Everything needs evidence, if you don’t have solid proof, how can you claim An Family owes you twenty silver taels? In my opinion, this matter is mostly fabricated, no need to give."

Actually, Yang Ming could ask this because he discovered along the way that people here don’t like writing IOUs, so he wanted to try, unexpectedly it worked out.

Hearing this, the old man Zheng was anxious, the matter with his daughter-in-law was already a bust, if he couldn’t get back the twenty silver taels, it wouldn’t work, so he hurriedly said, "I lent old An Family twenty silver taels, the whole village knows, the whole village can testify for me."

At this time, Mrs. Chen hurried out to help, "It was me who mediated this, I can testify, old An took twenty taels from old Zheng, this matter can’t be faked."

With someone to testify, the old man Zheng regained his confidence, "Old An, tell me, did I lend you twenty silver taels? What now, trying to deny it?"
