Chapter 238: 238 Claiming debt 6

The people around began whispering, “Where did Su Qingyue get so much silver?”

Li Cai stood outside the courtyard. He had been splashed with bathwater by Chuan and held a grudge, “Perhaps Su Qingyue is ready to sell herself…With that appearance, she could only be sold as a maid for rough chores. No one in the kiln would want such an ugly-looking woman.” Little did he know that his older brother had already offered fifty taels of silver without buying her.

“I think the Xiao Family still has a conscience. As long as they sell Su Qingyue, not only can the debt be repaid, maybe they will even have a few taels left. It looks like the Xiao Family would rather lose their house than sell her…”

Su Qingyue paid no attention to the people’s comments, her expression as indifferent as water, “Granny Sun, I’m paying you back today. Do you think you can swallow the Xiao Family’s house with just more than four taels of debt?

Aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to collect it in the end?”

Granny Sun slapped her thigh and cried out loudly, “Why wouldn’t I be able to collect? The Xiao Family owes money and wants to repay it, but do they want to kill the creditor too? Listen to this, everyone…Not only does the Xiao Family want to default on the debt, but Su Qingyue wants to kill someone! You all judge, who owes money and does not repay, and after being given a grace period, is still so arrogant! Good grief, there’s simply no justice in this world!”

Granny Sun’s daughter-in-law, Sun Chen-shi, also screamed and yelled, her face full of anger, “The Xiao Family won’t pay back the money they owe and want to default on it! You can’t lend money to people these days; lending money to others and not only does it not get repaid, but the kind-hearted creditor who lent the money almost gets harmed by others. What kind of world is this!”

With the two women wailing and howling, the villagers looked at each other, and some even blamed the Xiao Family, “Being poor is not an excuse for defaulting on a debt.”

The three sons of the Xiao Family were ashamed and had nowhere to hide their faces.

Su Qingyue looked at the shrewish faces of the two Sun women as if watching a monkey show. If she really wanted to kill a few people, it wouldn’t even take a single hair’s worth of effort on her part. However, she wanted to be an ordinary person and wouldn’t casually kill. Some things didn’t need to be solved with violence.

She nodded, “Yes, being poor is not a reason for not repaying a debt. I also believe that repaying a debt is fair and just. The Xiao Family has never thought of defaulting on the debt owed to the Sun family. The six taels of silver owed to Doctor Sun wasn’t due for twenty days yet. Just the night before last, my second brother gave Doctor Sun the only savings the family had – one tael and ten copper coins. This is enough to show that the Xiao Family has the sincerity to repay the silver. Everyone knows the Xiao Family’s situation, and moreover, my second brother had an accident and the third brother fell ill; both of the family’s main providers are down. For someone who has the intention to repay, seeing this situation, an average person would usually give a few more days of grace. Granny Sun doesn’t allow it, and there should be a reason she’s afraid we can’t pay her back. But wanting to take a house worth ten to twenty taels with just over four taels is greedy and preying on misfortune, which is simply unforgivable.”

Her voice was crisp and clear, and those in attendance nodded reDeatedlv.

Everyone thought that the wife of the Xiao Family had an incredibly pleasant voice. What she said was reasonable and well-argued, unlike the two shrews from the Sun Family.

“Wife of the Xiao Family is right. It’s not that they don’t want to repay, but they don’t have it at the moment…” Someone couldn’t stand it anymore..
