The Officer looked at IOU letter and waved his hand towards the old lady: “Come here.”
Old Lady Bai was very worried inside her heart. She didn’t dare to come closer, she just stood in the same place.
Seeing this, the middle-aged Officer stepped forward and grabbed the old lady’s hand, then pressed and compared her fingerprint.
The result of this comparison was naturally clear and undeniable.
The middle-aged Officer quickly pushed the old lady’s hand and shouted: “What else do you have to say?”
Old Lady Bai shook her head. She kept shaking her head while saying: “Impossible, this is impossible! This letter is clearly torn by me, I tear it into pieces!”
Doctor Lu sneered: “What is impossible? Do you think you can just forget about your debt?”
Old Lady Bai’s heart was filled with anger, she couldn’t afford to lose. This old man, Lu Zhangchun, has been playing with her. The IOU letter he took out last time turned out to be a fake. She was so happy for days, believing that he could no longer take out evidence and could only give up the issue.
The middle-aged Officer angrily said: “Do you still have the law in your eyes?”
With a *plop* sound, Old Lady Bai knelt in front of the Officer and said: “I do, Of course, I do. I am very old now, I got a little confused. Please don’t arrest me, I will pay him back, I will definitely pay back this debt.”
The Officer swept his eyes at Doctor Lu and gave him a meaningful look.
Doctor Lu nodded his head and said: “Then, I will give her another chance.”
The middle-aged Officer then turned his head to look at Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu, who was kneeling on the ground. Then, said: “I will give you another 3 days, if after 3 days you didn’t return the 6 silver coins you owed to Lu Dafu, I will take your house as compensation to your debt.”
What? Will take our house as compensation?
Old Lady Bai almost faint, she didn’t even notice when Doctor Lu and the two officers left.
“Niang, what are we going to do? They want to take our house as payment of our debt. If they really take our house, then where are we going to live?” Mrs, Liu was completely in panicked. The two Officers doesn’t look only joking.
Mrs. Zhang’s face also sank. The Bai family’s life was not so good, but at least they have a place to live. They haven’t died from starvation. If their house was taken away, what should they do?
Mrs. Zhang’s eyes fell to the red ribbon on the old lady’s neck. Bai Erzhu told her that there was a piece of jade hanging on it. It was found in a wooden frame that Bai Sanzhu bought in a second-hand shop when he was still alive. After he died, the old lady took the frame and brought it to the main house. That jade pendant must be hidden by the former owner of the wooden frame.
According to this old lady’s character, this piece of jade will be pass as an heirloom to Bai Dazhu’s family sooner or later. She doesn’t think about the Bai Erzhu’s family at all.
Since our family has nothing to do with this jade, it’s better to— —-
Mrs. Zhang made up her mind and went close to the old lady, then said: “Our house is so big if you added the lot, how can it only cost 6 silver coins?”
Mrs. Liu replied: “What nonsense are you talking about? Such a big house will definitely not only cost 6 silver coins.”
Mrs. Zhang said: “So, let’s just pay back the debt. Otherwise, we will lose our house, and then our family can only beg for foods.”
