When the Liu family heard that they no longer had living expenses, they were instantly anxious.

“We raised Xiao Hai up, so you have to take care of us until our old age. How can you sue us? Even if you sue the heavens, it won’t matter!” Liu Chunwang and Wang Lianxiang jumped up and cursed.

Jiang Huai sneered. “For the first seven years, Xiao Hai was raised in your family. I treated it as I hired you as a nanny. When I paid you, I only asked you to write receipts. In the next nine years, you stopped raising Xiao Hai and even asked me for living expenses. Think about it carefully. What did I say back then?”

The three members of the Liu family widened their eyes. How could they remember such a long time ago?!

Jiang Huai unfolded the paper and pointed at the big word on it.

Sun Qing was close. When he saw the word ‘IOU’ on it, she looked at Jiang Huai with respect, her eyes sparkling.

A pit that had been dug for nine years was very long-lasting!

Jiang Huai couldn’t help but help the Liu family recall. “From the eighth year onwards, every time you took living expenses from me, it was in the name of borrowing money. What’s borrowed must be returned. If I let you return it now, you won’t go back on your word, right?”

As soon as Jiang Huai reminded them, the Liu family immediately remembered it.

At that time, no matter how much their family wanted money, Jiang Huai wouldn’t give it to them. The idea of borrowing money was only thought of by Liuxing. He used Liu Chunwang and Wang Lianxiang’s monthly medicine as an excuse to borrow money from Jiang Huai. On the surface, he was borrowing money, but in reality, he had never planned to return it.

If his father-in-law and mother-in-law didn’t have the money to take medicine, it was only right for his son-in-law to fork out the money. Even if he told the emperor, it made sense!

He never expected that nine years later, Jiang Huai would really ask them to return the money!

Liu Xingcai hurriedly rushed forward to snatch the paper from Jiang Huai’s hand. “No, no. I just said it casually. That’s the retirement money you should give my parents!”

Before he could rush up, a figure stood in front of Sun Qing and Jiang Huai and pushed Liu Xingcai out.

Instead of pushing, he used his fists, which were as hard as punches.

Liu Xingcai looked at Jiang Hai in disbelief. “Little brat, you dare to hit your uncle? You’re tired of living!”

Jiang Hai raised his head and looked at Liu Xingcai with a mocking expression. “You call this a beating? Originally, you punched me so hard that I vomited blood. What should I say? I’m incomparable to you!”

Liu Xingcai wanted to continue cursing, but when he saw Jiang Hai’s fierce gaze, he immediately shrank back.

Jiang Hai was now a head taller than him. A young man was at a good time to be strong. If he fought head-on, he wouldn’t be in a good position!

Jiang Huai patted Jiang Hai’s shoulder. “I’ll settle it.”

Jiang Hai walked away silently and stood aside.

Jiang Huai shook the IOU. “I have 69 such IOUs. Even if you tear up a few, I still have 60 and more. If you come again in the future, I’ll take the IOU and sue you directly.”

Liu Chunwang glared at Jiang Huai fiercely. “Go and sue us. Just sue and see if anyone cares about this!”

Jiang Huai handed the IOU to Sun Qing, who was stunned.

He was giving it to her?

Such a useful thing?

Why was he so good to her?

Jiang Huai said, “Regardless of whether anyone dares to interfere, I remember that your youngest son hasn’t married yet, right? If the woman finds out that your family owes so much money, I wonder if she’ll still marry into your family.”

Sun Qing was very tactful and quickly replied, “Definitely not. Not to mention letting the woman know, even if your village finds out, don’t even think about getting a partner in the future. Don’t even think about marrying a woman!”

Sun Qing hit the nail on the head.

To say that it was an IOU was a dead end. If he really wanted to sue, there was a high chance that they wouldn’t return it. The meaning of the IOU was to scare the Liu family, not to collect the debt.
