However, Li You Tian soon sneered. 520 Official Website

"Thought you were someone, Yang Da Biao, but you were tamed so easily. I was even thinking of using this opportunity to help you and Zhang Zhaodi get together, but it seems unnecessary now!"

As he finished speaking, Li You Tian, who had been humble before, now let out a contemptuous snort and turned to leave.

He knew very well that people like Yang Da Biao couldn't stand being provoked or ridiculed.

Moreover, Zhang Zhaodi was the most beautiful and charming peony in the surrounding area, even he himself couldn't resist her, so he didn't believe Yang Da Biao wouldn't be moved.

Sure enough, before Li You Tian could take a step forward, his arm was grabbed by Yang Da Biao.

"My dear village chief, why the rush? Come, come, come, sit down and talk," Yang Da Biao said, pulling Li You Tian to sit on the stone bench he had just made, with a fawning smile. "How do you plan to help us get together, Chief?"

"Still have the IOU, right?"

"Of course I do!"

"Good, that's good!" Li You Tian nodded, thinking for a moment, then said, "If I go with you to their place and demand they pay back the ten thousand yuan on the spot, would you dare?"

"You go with me?" Yang Da Biao was taken aback, not quite understanding.

"Exactly! If they can't pay, I'll immediately use my authority as the village chief to mortgage their land to you. Then, you can propose to marry Zhang Zhaodi with this ten thousand yuan as the dowry..." Li You Tian said with a sly smile.

Yang Da Biao suddenly understood, looking at Li You Tian with admiration.

"You're the village chief, no one can escape your reach when you decide to deal with them..."

After agreeing on everything, the next morning, as soon as it was light, Yang Da Biao gathered a group of his followers and went straight to Zhang Dong's house with Li You Tian.

When they arrived at Zhang Dong's house, the family was having breakfast.

This group of people came in a large crowd, shouting at the door.

"Zhang Dong, come out and pay your debt!"

The neighbors, hearing the commotion, came out to see what was happening.

Seeing Yang Da Biao and Li You Tian together, they couldn't help but speculate.

What did Zhang Dong do to make the village chief and the gang leader come to his house together?

When Zhang Zhaodi opened the gate and saw Li You Tian and Yang Da Biao, her face immediately turned pale.

"What... what are you here for?" Zhang Zhaodi asked, her voice trembling.

Li You Tian sneered, "What for? Your family owes Yang Da Biao money, and it's time to pay it back. As the village chief, I must ensure the rights of the villagers."

"Right! Pay up now!" Yang Da Biao shouted.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhaodi was momentarily at a loss.

Previously, Yang Da Biao had said that if they paid another five thousand yuan, he would return the IOU.

Now, it had become ten thousand yuan, and he was even with the village chief Li You Tian.

Furrowing her brows, Zhang Zhaodi defended herself, "We agreed to borrow ten thousand and pay back fifteen thousand, and we have already paid. How can you say we haven't paid? You can't bully us like this."

"You say you paid, but who saw it? And Zhang Zhaodi, I don't want to get involved in your family's affairs, but Yang Da Biao came to me with the IOU. As the village chief, I have to take action!" Li You Tian said righteously.

If someone unfamiliar with the situation heard this, they might think he was a good village chief who cared for his villagers.

"You..." Zhang Zhaodi wanted to argue, but she didn't know how to respond.

At this moment, hearing the commotion outside, Zhang Dong, who had been urinating, rushed out and gently held his sister's soft hand.

Feeling the strong, warm hand, Zhang Zhaodi, whose palms were sweating, suddenly felt less afraid.

"I'll handle it," he whispered in his sister's ear. Without paying attention to her blushing face, Zhang Dong looked directly at Yang Da Biao and said,

"Yang Da Biao, how much do we owe you?"

"Um..." Seeing Zhang Dong's calm expression, Yang Da Biao felt a bit intimidated.

Glancing at Li You Tian, who was giving him a look, Yang Da Biao had to tough it out, "Ten thousand yuan. The IOU is here, everyone can see. It's in black and white, and Zhang Zhaodi even put her fingerprint on it. I'm not lying."

As he spoke, Yang Da Biao took out a small piece of paper and showed it to the crowd.

Zhang Dong remained unperturbed.

After Yang Da Biao finished showing the IOU, Zhang Dong continued, "So, if we pay this ten thousand yuan, we'll be even, right?"

"Um, right!" Yang Da Biao glanced at Li You Tian.

Li You Tian understood and immediately stepped forward, "I, the village chief, can vouch for it. If you pay this ten thousand yuan, you and Yang Da Biao will be even!"

The villagers began to murmur among themselves.

Now they realized that Zhang Dong had offended the village chief Li You Tian, which was why he was taking this opportunity to seek revenge.

"Fine, we'll pay the money!" Zhang Dong laughed loudly.

The villagers, seeing him laugh instead of getting angry, thought he was too angry to speak.

Everyone knew that the brother and sister relied on each other for survival.

Zhang Dong had finally graduated from university, but he was still stuck in this poor mountain village.

Given their family's situation, where could they get ten thousand yuan?

As the villagers whispered among themselves, Zhang Dong gave his sister a look.

The money from selling the cabbage, after buying gifts for his sister, was about ten thousand yuan, and he had given it to her to keep.

As for where his sister had hidden the money, he, as her brother, didn't know.

Soon, Zhang Zhaodi returned with a stack of hundred-yuan bills in her hand!

"Is this... am I seeing things...?"

"No, it's real hundred-yuan bills..."

"Wow, that's a thick stack, it must be at least ten thousand yuan, right?"

"Ha, like you've ever seen ten thousand yuan before..."

The villagers were stunned.

At this moment, they realized that the brother and sister they knew were different from the ones in front of them.

"Did you notice? Zhang Zhaodi's dress and shoes look expensive. They might have really made some money."

"I remember seeing Zhang Dong riding a tricycle to the county to sell cabbage a few days ago. Could it be from selling vegetables?"

"How could that be? How many cabbages would you need to sell to make ten thousand yuan?"

The discussions, exclamations, and speculations continued.

Zhang Dong, however, ignored the gossipy villagers.

After all, this was just the beginning. They would be even more shocked in the future!

"Here's the money, give me the IOU!"

Zhang Dong took the money from his sister and walked to Yang Da Biao, who instinctively took a few steps back, clearly still afraid from the last time Zhang Dong beat him up.

They exchanged the money for the IOU. After confirming the IOU was correct, Zhang Dong tore it up in front of everyone.

"Even now?" Zhang Dong said loudly.

"Um..." Yang Da Biao glanced at Li You Tian again. Seeing that he wasn't moving and that Zhang Dong was staring at him intently, he swallowed hard and stammered, "C... clear!"

Getting ten thousand yuan so easily felt like a dream to him.

Especially since Zhang Dong was so calm, it made him feel even more unreal.

"Good, it's clear!" Zhang Dong said, then turned to look at Li You Tian, who looked embarrassed, and smiled faintly.

He knew that Yang Da Biao's actions were orchestrated by Li You Tian.

Let him do what he wants; he'll make Li You Tian pay back double, and it will be a good medical fee.

Originally, Zhang Dong didn't plan to make things too difficult for Li You Tian, but who asked him to push it so far?

As for Yang Da Biao, he wouldn't need to do anything; Li You Tian wouldn't let him off easily.
