Debtor Mao quickly smiled and explained, “There were special circumstances at that time. I had an agreement with the factory, and I wrote an IOU. It’s not illegal.” 

Chu Qiao also fumbled in her pocket for a while before pulling out a yellowed piece of paper. 

She coughed and said, “He did write an IOU.….. cough cough…… three years ago, but he still hasn’t repaid the money.” 

The neighborhood committee director took the IOU, which was indeed written three years ago. 

It was signed by Mao Xianliang, who was Debtor Mao, and it was stated that he owed 380,000 yuan. 

The IOU stated that it was supposed to be repaid two years ago. But two years had passed, and the money still hadn’t been paid back.

“Mr. Mao, it’s been two years already. How come you still haven’t repaid the money? With so much money, there’s no way your family could have eaten it all, right? Even if you were eating abalone and sea cucumber every day, you couldn’t have spent all 380,000 yuan!” 

The neighborhood committee director spoke in a stern tone. 

She was known for being fair and just. She couldn’t stand the petty behavior of people like Old Mao, who would embezzle public funds. 

His family had been living the good life, eating delicacies every day, yet now he claimed he had no money, trying to fool a three-year-old child!

“Exactly! It’s either eating crab or fish and shrimp every day. How could he possibly have no money? Hurry up and pay back the debt, or we’ll hand this over to the police!” The others chimed in as well.

The accusations grew louder and louder, and even someone as thick-skinned as Old Mao couldn’t take it anymore. 

But the thought of having to repay the 380,000 yuan made his heart ache. 

He had never intended to repay that money, and even if he had to, he planned to drag it out for a few years. 

After all, the interest on 380,000 yuan in the bank for a year wasn’t a small amount.

But now, things had escalated to the point where if he didn’t pay, it might spark public outrage and even implicate his son. 

Debtor Mao was hesitant, wavering and hesitating on what to do, when he heard the neighborhood committee director say, “I’m going to your son’s workplace right now to talk to him about this. I’ll also ask him if he knows about the 380,000 yuan!”  

The committee director was going to leave, Debtor Mao became anxious and quickly stopped her, saying repeatedly, “I will pay…… I will go borrow the money right now… My son doesn’t know about this, there’s no need to tell him.”

Chu Qiao’s lips quickly curled up slightly and then dropped back into a sorrowful expression. 

But inside, she was very happy. As expected, his son was Old Mao’s weak spot. 

Today’s things had gone even smoother than she had expected, she wouldn’t even need the three days.

Debtor Mao entered the house for a long while before coming out, forcing a smile as he said, “I just called a friend, and he is willing to lend me the money. But we need to go to the bank to withdraw it. 380,000 yuan will fill up an entire bag and is really heavy. How about asking your husband to come and get it tomorrow?” 

He was still trying to delay for another day, thinking that if he could get past this moment, he could come up with another way to default the debt tomorrow.

“No need.….. I can carry it myself… cough cough…… I’ll take that money back home even if it kills me.” 

Chu Qiao saw through the old man’s tricks at a glance, and refused to give him a chance to default on the debt.  

Hmph, she definitely had to take that 380,000 yuan home today.

“Mr. Mao, you don’t have to worry about this. With so many of us here, we can help this female comrade carry the money!” Someone spoke out mockingly. 

Chu Qiao added, “I will call my husband later and ask him to come over!” 

A kind-hearted person immediately asked, “What’s your husband’s phone number? Let me help you make the call!” 

Chu Qiao smiled gratefully and reported the phone number of Gu Ye’s office, “Thank you for your help.” 

“You’re welcome!” 

The kind-hearted person went to make the call, while the others all glared at Debtor Mao, leaving him no room to delay. 

He had no choice but to slowly walk out of the courtyard with difficulty. 

Every step he took, he sighed. He had saved this money in his hands for so many years, just like his own child, but now, he had to give it away to someone else. 

Sigh!
