1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 344 Don’t wait when the time comes

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiefang stood up abruptly: "I'm sure Liru's father told you about my family's situation before you came. Do you think I can come up with five hundred yuan right now?"

Ding Youwen stood up defiantly: "Whether you can pay or not is your business, but trying to ruin my daughter's reputation is no small matter. Do you think 500 yuan is too much for you?"

Chen Weiping hadn't expected that simply using a name would cause such a big problem: "Uncle, we really didn't think this through, but it hasn't caused any harm to my cousin Su Rong. Please forgive us this time, for the sake of our family ties."

He then bowed deeply to the Ding father and daughter, saying, "I'm sorry."

Even so, Ding Youwen didn't give him a friendly look: "Don't think that a simple apology will make this all over."

Just as Chen Jiefang was about to reply, Chen Weiping said, "I agreed to five hundred yuan, but I definitely won't get the money today. Can you give me a few days?"

Ding Youwen saw that he didn't seem to be lying: "I can give you a few days, but first give me an IOU. You can pay me back the IOU later, otherwise don't blame me for sending you to the police station."

Chen Jiefang reached out to stop him, but Chen Weiping had already turned around to find paper and pen to write an IOU.

He had already thought it through. Ding Youwen was clearly a difficult person to talk to. If he couldn't get his way and let Ding make a scene at his workplace, he probably wouldn't be able to keep his job. After all, the previous incident hadn't calmed down yet, and now this scandal had happened again. He didn't need to think to know what the leaders would do.

Money can be earned back, but if you lose your job, what's the point of talking about making money?

Soon, he returned with the written IOU and handed it directly to Ding Youwen.

After reading the above, Ding Youwen said, "It says on the table that I will come to collect the money in three days."

Chen Weidong considered for a moment and said, "Five days, I'm afraid we can't gather enough in three days." Ding Yuewen and her daughter exchanged a glance and then said, "Okay, since you've said so, then five days it is."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Surong, who hadn't said a word until now, said, "You need to write me a certificate and sign it. Of course, your elders on both sides also need to sign it, so that I don't have to come back to you if things get out of hand one day. Don't even think about refusing me. If you do, I don't want any compensation. I'll just send you to the police station right now."

Chen Jiefang was furious. If he were to write this down, it would be like handing over his secrets to the other party. But judging from the attitude of the Ding family father and daughter, it might not be okay. They were really making a fuss over nothing.

Hu Liru didn't care about being embarrassed at this moment. She reached out and tugged at the back of Chen Weiping's clothes, whispering, "This certificate can't be written."

Ding Surong looked up and saw her little gesture. She smiled in a half-smile and said, "What, don't want to write?"

Hu Liru's eyes were filled with tears: "Cousin, I know I've wronged you. Please, for the sake of our past friendship, let us go, okay?"

"Don't worry, we'll give you every penny of the compensation. We don't need to write this certificate, okay?"

Ding Surong was resolute: "There's no room for discussion. Either you write it now, or we'll report it to the police now. It's your choice."

When Hu Liru heard her repeat the same old story, her eyes were filled with hatred.

Ding Surong didn't care. After what had happened, there was no way they could continue their relationship. She didn't care what the other person thought: "I'll give you twenty minutes. You're out of time."
