"What do you an?" Zhou Yuni's expression changed after hearing Mrs. Liu's words, but recalling how Mrs. Liu showed no odd expressions when signing the IOU last ti, she firmly said, "I watched you write that IOU last ti."
Mrs. Liu chuckled coldly, frowned, and asked her, "What do you an you watched write it? I say it's not true, can you provide any evidence?"
"Hmph, the evidence is right here, don't even think about denying it." Zhou Yuni always carried that IOU with her. She took out a sowhat crumpled piece of paper from her innermost clothing, opened it, pointed at the black and white words, and shouted at Mrs. Liu, "Look at this, it's clearly written here that you owe 3,500 yuan."
"But did you look at the signature carefully?" Mrs. Liu glanced at Zhou Yuni with a smug smile and said, "This na isn't mine."
As she spoke, Mrs. Liu specifically pointed at the signature section.
In fact, when Mrs. Liu signed that IOU with Zhou Yuni, she felt that making such under-the-table deals with her was sowhat shady. She didn't fully trust Zhou Yuni and feared she would spread rumors, so she intentionally kept a trick up her sleeve when signing her na.
Her signature was so scribbled that it could look like any three characters.
And Zhou Yuni, not being very educated herself, was overjoyed at the thought of soon receiving a large sum of money. Although she had Liu wrote an IOU just in case, she didn't bother to check the IOU then. As soon as she saw Mrs. Liu's signature, she happily put it away.
She hadn't expected Mrs. Liu would play her like this, which infuriated Zhou Yuni to no end.
You see, over the years, Zhou Yuni had always been on the stronger side no matter who she was dealing with. Even in countryside quarrels, she always ca out on top. Now that Mrs. Liu had tricked her like this, it's unlikely she would just let it go.
She imdiately turned pale with anger as if afraid Mrs. Liu would just leave, grabbed her arm, and shouted at her in fury, "Mrs. Liu, I'm telling you, I now have nothing to lose. If you don't pay today, I won't let you off. We'll just drag this out then. Once Fang Pingying finds out what we've been up to in private, let's see if you can still achieve what you want."
Since Mrs. Liu dared to play such a trick, she naturally had a grasp of Zhou Yuni's current situation. She snorted coldly, showing no fear as she looked at Zhou Yuni and replied, "Hmph, do you really think I'm afraid? If you really dare let Fang Pingying know about these things, would you still need to collude with ?"
She paused, gave Zhou Yuni a once-over, and then said with a particularly dismissive tone, "From what I can see, you probably haven't given Zhiyong and them a good life these years. Being their daughter-in-law, Fang Pingying must have suffered a lot, probably couldn't stand it anymore, and fell out with you. They probably don't even acknowledge you now, and you don't have any other options left. Afraid you'll end up badly when you're old, you first tried to extort from Xiutao, then agreed to help out. Basically, isn't it all for that money, so you can save it for your old age?"
"So what if it is?" At this point, Zhou Yuni didn't want to think about anything else, her only goal being to get that money. She knew after things had co to this with Mrs. Liu, it was unlikely she'd keep it secret from Fang Pingying anymore.
So, after directly admitting to Mrs. Liu's words, she said fiercely, "And since you know how important that money is to , do you think I'd let you off easily?"
Mrs. Liu also saw Zhou Yuni's determination for the money and thought it best to avoid additional trouble, so she tentatively backed down a step, "Zhiyong's mother, how about this, I'll give you an extra US$ 500, making it 2,500 for you, and we call it even? Sound good?"
Zhou Yuni shook her head, insisting on the originally agreed amount, showing four fingers to Mrs. Liu with a very firm tone, "4,000 yuan, not a penny less, otherwise we'll have a falling out."
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu deliberately said, "But I didn't bring that much money today."
Despite what Mrs. Liu said, Zhou Yuni still remained unyielding, even with a threatening tone, "Then give what you have, and you can owe the rest, or I'll just go with you to get it later."
Seeing that no matter how she tried to reason, Zhou Yuni remained intractable, Mrs. Liu's tone hardened again, "No way, I said, the most I can give you is 2,500."
Seeing this, Zhou Yuni couldn't be bothered to argue further, pointing at Mrs. Liu's bag and said ominously, "Give the bag."
Mrs. Liu, of course, wasn't going to comply easily. She hid the bag behind her, irritated, "Why should I?"
Zhou Yuni snorted coldly and imdiately moved to snatch Mrs. Liu's bag, but Mrs. Liu wouldn't comply.
In the pushing and pulling, Mrs. Liu refused to give Zhou Yuni the bag, causing Zhou Yuni to beco entirely fed up and start a fight, first slapping Mrs. Liu, then reaching out to snatch the bag.
Zhou Yuni didn't care what this looked like as long as she got the money she needed today. She refused to let herself be played like a fool.
But Mrs. Liu was not an easy opponent either. Taking a slap from Zhou Yuni, there was no reason for her not to fight back. She snatched her bag from Zhou Yuni's hands and then started pulling Zhou Yuni's hair, dragging her forward, her face a grueso expression like she was going to kill her.
To be honest, at this mont, Mrs. Liu was really ruthless. However, alone as she was, her strength was too lacking, otherwise, she would've really retaliated against Zhou Yuni.
The situation was quite troubleso. Giving Zhou Yuni 4,000 yuan unwillingly, not giving it risked Zhou Yuni causing trouble.
In terms of eloquence and deep thinking, Zhou Yuni might not match Mrs. Liu. But when it ca to physical fights, Zhou Yuni definitely had the upper hand.
She's been working in the countryside for years, naturally stronger than Mrs. Liu. When Mrs. Liu was pulling her hair, a sharp turn of her body and a quick twist of Mrs. Liu's hair-pulling hand, amidst Mrs. Liu's cry of pain, flipped the situation around, freeing herself from being at the disadvantage and directly pushing Mrs. Liu to the ground.
Mrs. Liu was pushed down, and Zhou Yuni imdiately pressed down on her, sat on her stomach, gave a cold laugh, and slapped Mrs. Liu's face, "Co on, let's fight it out here, I want to see just how tough you are."
