The couple watched the people watching the joke leave one after another, guessing that the matter seemed a bit serious.
The two of them had sly eyebrows and whispered, while the woman glared at Yang Lina reluctantly.
"This money was borrowed for three years. It was agreed at the time that the interest would be ten yuan a year.
It's been three years now, and it's only three hundred and thirty yuan. We have to see that you have three hundred and thirty yuan in your hand before we can come up with this IOU."
After the woman finished speaking, the corner of Yang Lina's mouth raised slightly. She didn't expect that this woman was quite smart.
"Don't worry, the police will be here soon. Are you still worried that we will lie to you?"
Yang Lina said, taking out a brand new three hundred yuan from her bag and shaking it.
When the woman saw that Yang Lina had money, her eyes suddenly lit up. Just as she was about to reach out to take the money, she was grabbed by the man on the side.
"My dear, my family is not short of these three hundred yuan. What our family wants is a daughter-in-law. If you want to take this money, where can you find a daughter-in-law?"
When the woman heard this, she reluctantly looked away from the money and looked at the man next to her with a troubled expression.
"I know, didn't they call the police? Once the police come, we can't take the person away anyway, so why not just take the money and interest?"
"But what will happen if our son doesn't have a wife?"
"Our family is in good condition. If it doesn't work out, we'll look for him again."
Looking?
His son is a fool. Who is so short of money that they would marry their daughter to a fool?
Listening to the conversation between the couple, Yang Lina couldn't help but feel disgusted.
This kind of uneducated and unqualified people are really abominable, they are no different from shrews.
"Mr. Yang, I will not marry her son.
You don't know, her son is a fool, he is already in his thirties and has the same IQ as a child. They just saw that our family was poor and had no way to repay the money, so they forced me to marry them."
Zhang Xiaoxia was almost crying. She had finally saved more than 100 yuan. Seeing that there were still two or three months left, she could make her own decisions about her life and future. Who would have thought that this couple would actually find a clothing factory?
.
What was even more unacceptable to her was that even though she had escaped, she still could not escape the disaster.
She must not be able to return home now. If she finally escapes, if she goes back, her parents will definitely tie her up and hand her over to this couple.
At the beginning, if her parents hadn't favored sons over daughters and secretly discussed marrying her to that fool, how could she have run away.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoxia felt inexplicably sad. She had two older brothers, and she had never had a comfortable life since she was a child. She finally looked forward to growing up, but she couldn't even make the decision about her own marriage.
In the village, many girls her age got married at the age of fourteen or fifteen because of poverty.
Because she had lacked food and clothing since she was a child, she was thin and no one wanted to marry her, which made her let go of her worries.
But what she didn't expect was that her parents actually planned to let her marry that fool to pay off the debt. She had no choice but to run away overnight.
She walked dozens of miles of mountain roads to get to the county town. After wandering for a few days, she found that a garment factory was recruiting workers.
She graduated from elementary school and had little education. Fortunately, when her sister-in-law got married, she was given a sewing machine as a gift. She usually sewed and mended, and she learned a little bit about it, so she successfully worked in a garment factory.
She had lived in fear for the past few months. She was so afraid of being discovered that she didn't dare to go out for a walk.
After a few months, she felt more at ease. Unexpectedly, as soon as she relaxed, she was spotted by the villagers.
I can no longer hide the fact that I work in a garment factory.
After work at noon today, she was called out of the garment factory. When she saw the couple, her heart skipped a beat, and she knew trouble was coming.
She wanted to turn around and run away, but she was too weak to fight against the couple, so she was dragged here.
If she hadn't been pushed by this evil woman, she wouldn't have met Yang Lina.
"If you don't want to get married, don't get married. You need to make your own decisions in life."
When Yang Lina said this, her eyes were fixed on the couple who were discussing quietly in front of her, fearing that they would play another trick.
Although these two people were frightened by his words, if they dragged on, they would definitely discover the fact that no one went to the police.
"How long do you want to discuss this? I'm pressed for time and I don't have time to waste it with you here.
Since you haven't thought about it yet, think about it slowly. When you do, come to the clothing factory to see me with the IOU and the receipt from his parents.
Anyway, Zhang Xiaoxia will not marry your son. We are in a new era and a new society, and marriage can be done freely and cannot be forced."
Yang Lina spoke lightly, not taking the two people in front of her seriously at all, holding Zhang Xiaoxia's hand and planning to turn around and leave.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoxia's heart was wrapped in the warmth of her palms, making her eyes filled with tears.
"Wait, we want money."
When the woman saw that Yang Lina was leaving with Zhang Xiaoxia, she became anxious.
This money has been loaned out for three years. Since I can get the money today, I will take the money first and talk about it.
Looking at the stubbornness of the girl from the Zhang family, she would not marry her son even if she died. Don't force the girl to commit suicide when the time comes. It would be bad if her family would lose all their money.
The woman thought it over and decided to take the money.
"I want to see whether the IOU and the receipt are genuine or not first."
Yang Lina stretched out her hand, and Zhang Xiaoxia looked at Mr. Yang in astonishment.
No wonder Mr. Su and Mr. An admire her. Faced with such two vicious and evil people, she can handle things so calmly and think clearly without being frightened at all.
Thinking of her work attitude, Zhang Xiaoxia suddenly blushed.
Since she didn't have extra salary as a team leader, she selfishly thought that she was chosen as a team leader because of her strong ability. It wasn't until her salary was deducted that time that she realized that she had been chosen at random.
Because of her selfishness and pride, not only was her salary deducted, but everyone was also implicated.
Later, she knew she was dead wrong.
Yang Lina chose her as the team leader because she actually wanted to improve her abilities in disguise.
If she had not worked in a garment factory, if she had no money, if she had not been selected as a team leader, she might have starved to death on the streets.
More likely, she has been caught by her family and married to that fool.
Zhang Xiaoxia is lucky at this moment. She has lived in a cold and unfair environment since she was a child, and for the first time she sees warmth in Yang Lina.
The woman reluctantly took out the IOU and handed it to Yang Lina. Yang Lina took a look at it and gave it to Zhang Xiaoxia behind her.
"It's about your future. You have to see clearly for yourself whether it's your parents' handwriting."
"Well, it's the IOU written by me.
My parents are illiterate and cannot write.
When my parents borrowed money three years ago, I wrote the IOU. But I don’t know who wrote the document marrying me to their son.”
Zhang Xiaoxia carefully read the IOU several times before handing it over to the couple.
"Ignore the paperwork for now, just have the IOU."
After Yang Lina finished speaking, she looked at the two people in front of her expressionlessly.
