After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!-Chapter 1007 - Each Taking a Step Back
1007 Each Taking a Step Back
In the end, Zou Ming still could not bear to see Old Madam Fan being kept in the dark. Even though Old Madam Fan had insulted him, he still explained to her in detail the principle of “paying 130 for every 90”. At the very least, he wanted to be able to live up to his conscience and his police uniform.
Old Madam Fan’s initial happiness gradually turned into anger. If not for the handcuffs on her hands, she would have flipped the table and fought with Su Li.
“Su Li! I’m your mother! How can you treat me like this! How do you expect me to gather so much money in such a short period of time! You might as well let me die here!” Old Madam Fan roared.
Su Miao and Su Xiu looked at Su Li with fear in their eyes. They indeed had ill intentions, but they had not thought about getting so much money from Old Madam Fan. To them, getting 100 to 200 dollars in interest was already a big amount.
What Su Li was doing was simply daylight robbery. Loan sharks would get sent to jail! Su Li even wrote this down in front of the police. Was she sick of living!
This Su Li in front of them was no longer the person they used to know… She had changed so much…
“Um… Officer! This is not our families’ intention. This is my younger sister’s own idea and has nothing to do with us!” Su Miao said fearfully.
“That’s right, that’s right! We’ve never even heard of this phrase!” Su Xiu said hurriedly. Please visit 𝐟𝒓𝚎𝘦we𝐛𝐧𝐨vℯ𝚕. c𝘰ｍ
Su Li’s expression remained unchanged. It was indeed her fault for charging such a high interest rate without explaining it to Old Madam Fan. However, they were discussing it openly now and Old Madam Fan had every right to agree or disagree. She was not forcing Old Madam Fan to sign the agreement against her will.
What was wrong with that? It was a mutually consensual deal. At most, she would not lend out her money.
“Su Yang got into a fight and went to jail. The victims had asked for 7,000 dollars as compensation. In your case, your bail is 10,000 dollars. Now that Su Liang is in jail for rape, we can only protect you and Fifth Brother. When it comes to Su Liang… there’s really no way out. It’s up to you whether Su Yang can be saved and whether you want to be released,” Su Li said.
Zou Ming stared at Su Li intently and did not say anything. When Su Liang was arrested and sent here, he came in through the backyard. There was no news leaked out about this matter at all. How did Su Li know so much? Could it be that… there was someone more powerful behind Su Li?
“Xiao Li… your interest rate is really too high. Can you reduce it!” Old Madam Fan said awkwardly.
“That’s not something impossible. You can give each family an additional amount of 2,000 dollars and we’ll consider this matter settled. The principal sum plus 2,000 dollars each, not a single cent less,” Su Li said.
Su Miao and Su Xiu did not say anything. The interest of 2,000 dollars each was also far beyond their plan. Other than taking the cues from Su Li, they had no other choice now.
“Alright… Then can your younger brother be released!” Old Madam Fan asked anxiously.
Everyone turned to look at Zou Ming. It was up to him to decide whether to let the man go or not. Zou Ming said hesitantly, “You can go back after paying the bail, but not Su Yang. I need to negotiate with the injured parties by bringing along the compensation sum. He won’t be able to get out until tomorrow or the day after.”
The actual timing would depend on how long it took for the higher-ups to approve it. The release of an offender was not something that could be done just by him nodding his head. Moreover, at that time, Qiao Mei had only mentioned the issue of compensation and did not specify the exact amount. He could not say with confidence that 7,000 dollars could hit the standard that Qiao Mei had in mind.
“I’m not done yet. Mom, if you’re unable to return us the money, then we’ll take your house. When the time comes, we’ll see how much money we can sell it for. We must get back what we’re owed,” Su Li said smugly with a smile.
Old Madam Fan looked at Su Li agitatedly and said, “What did I do to offend you! For you to want to destroy me like this! Now you don’t even want to let me have the house! What exactly do you want!”
“That house is my dowry! It’s the house left to me by your grandparents! It doesn’t belong to your Su family! You can touch anything but my house! Don’t even think about selling my house!” Old Madam Fan shouted.
“As long as it’s your belongings and you don’t pay your debts by the specified time, you have to use it as collateral. You should think about how to pay us back the money,” Su Li said calmly.
Seeing that Su Li was determined not to give in, Old Madam Fan had nothing else to say. There was no other way out for her now.
