Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

After hearing the evidence, the atmosphere in the room fell silent again, and everyone was waiting for Su Ming's stepfather to speak.

There are many who are jealous of Xiao Yun and hope that Xiao Yun can pay the 1,000 yuan betrothal gift.

Xiao Yun also became interested. He reviewed the situation carefully and found that he had no obvious loopholes at all.

The biggest uncertainty is Director Liu, but this hurdle has been passed.

He immediately said, "You said you have evidence, tell me, the facts are out in the open, I will not deny it."

Su Ming's stepfather glared at Xiao Yun, sneered, and turned to the crowd, "Xiao Yun came to my house once before the wedding. When we were discussing the betrothal gift, he took out some money, and he even said that he would give us one thousand. My family can testify to this."

After these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.

Seeing that no one spoke, Su Ming's stepfather raised his voice again: "Xiao Yun! When he came to my house to discuss the betrothal gift, he took out two thousand yuan. He said clearly that this money was for the preparation of the wedding!"

"He has 2,000 yuan! Giving me 1,000 yuan as a betrothal gift is not just empty talk! It's Xiao Yun who is refusing to pay!"

Su Ming's stepfather roared in anger, like a mental patient.

When he spoke again, there was still no movement in the audience. Everyone looked at Su Ming's stepfather with caring eyes.

No one would believe that Xiao Yun could come up with two thousand yuan, and this was also Xiao Yun's confidence.

His life was much better than that of everyone else in the compound, but after all, his expenses were only a little over a hundred yuan.

Two thousand is too much.

After a second or two of silence, Xiao Weiguo turned around and looked at Su Ming with a twisted expression. He spoke while drawing circles on his temple with his fingers.

"Su Ming, does your... stepfather have some problems with his intelligence?"

"Angang, that's right. If it really happened, tell me. I won't care about what happened today."

Su Ming buttoned the corner of his clothes, looked at Xiao Weiguo and shook his head, "No."

Seeing this, Xiao Weiguo had to turn back.

These words were not concealed, so everyone in the Su family heard them clearly.

Su Ming's stepfather was going crazy. He gritted his teeth and the flesh on his neck connecting to the collarbone was stretched to a thread-like state. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.

At this time, Xiao Yun added calmly: "Uncle, just ask everyone here if I have 2,000 yuan in savings. If anyone can provide evidence that I have it, then it's my money. I can't afford 1,000 yuan anyway."

After these words were spoken, the residents of the compound rushed to start discussing.

"How could Xiao Yun have 2,000? This is an international joke."

"Let's analyze it rationally. Xiao Yun's retirement pay and the money that Old Man Xiao has saved over the years, if you add them together, there may be thousands of dollars. But! Xiao Yun spends money lavishly, eats and drinks well all day, and even bought a bicycle. He can't save up two thousand dollars at all!"

"Yes! That's right. And even if Xiao Yun saved all the money, would he spend it all at once? Wouldn't he live a good life in the future?"

"That makes sense. Xiao Yun would be a fool to bring two thousand dollars in cash to discuss the betrothal gift."

……

The people around Xiao Aiguo also started discussing it. “This matter is really absurd. Let alone Xiao Yun, I’m afraid we have to think carefully before we take out 2,000 yuan.”

"Well, that's right. It's rare to go out with such a large sum of money at this time, or even impossible to see it at all!"

At this time, Director Yang also joined the conversation, "Leaders, this matter is a crime imposed on Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun works in my factory, and I know exactly how much he earns."

Li Huaide also hurriedly followed up: "Dear leaders, Xiao Yun has not spent a penny of his salary since he started working, but it is still not enough for 2,000."

Director Yang was afraid that everyone didn't understand, so he explained: "This is the logistics director of our factory. He is usually responsible for personnel transfers and salary arrangements. He will not make mistakes in this regard."

These words undoubtedly gave everyone a shot of adrenaline, and they all became more at ease, treating the current episode as just a lively event.

As the discussion grew louder, the faces of the Su family members turned ugly.

Su Ming's mother couldn't help but speak up. She stepped forward and pinched Su Ming's arm. "You money-loser, what's going on? You were there that day. How come the betrothal gift of one thousand has changed to one hundred!"

"I'm going to give you 100 yuan as a gift now. How are your two younger brothers going to get the money to get married? Can you think about your family?"

After saying that, she looked at Xiao Weiguo, "Xiao Yun's father, we don't blackmail others. Su Ming was also in the room at the time. She must have seen it!"

"Su Ming, tell everyone the truth. Mom doesn't ask you to do anything, you just need to tell the truth!"

Su Ming's mother's tone was so sincere that her eyes turned red.

Xiao Yun, who had seen Su's mother's true face, was completely immune and would not believe it at all.

Xiao Weiguo didn't want to pay attention to it, but the matter had to be handled clearly. He couldn't let Xiao Yun get a reputation of being a scammer.

Therefore, he looked at Su Ming reluctantly.

The eldest son of the Su family threatened fiercely at this time: "Su Ming! Tell me the truth! If you dare to lie, I will make you pay for it!"

The second son of the Su family was much more tactful. "Sister! You just need to tell me what you saw. Big brother was just angry. Don't take it to heart. We don't want anything. We will take the betrothal gift and leave. You and Xiao Yun will live a good life!"

The two brothers, one played the good guy and the other played the bad guy, and they directly drew their attention to Su Ming.

Su Ming's face turned a little red, and his heart was beating wildly and uncontrollably. Due to his excitement, his hands, which had been frozen for a long time, actually felt a little warm.

Xiao Yun also looked over curiously, and met Su Ming's gaze with a gaze as calm as an ancient well.

With just one glance, Su Ming's emotions seemed to be endlessly comforted, and his excitement and tension disappeared instantly.

At this moment, she had only one feeling in her heart, and that was peace of mind.

The two met, got to know each other, became familiar with each other, and felt warm. Various scenes of their interactions flashed quickly through Su Ming's mind.

Time seemed to have gone back to the day when Xiao Yun had promised Su Ming that he would help her escape from her original family.

Xiao Yun's various plans were exposed to her without any concealment, just to keep her away from her original family, away from this kind of family without care, love, full of bullying and humiliation.

But now, she unexpectedly became the most important part of Xiao Yun's entire plan.

If he gave a wrong answer, Xiao Yun and even his entire family would become a laughing stock.

The reason was because I helped her.

Su Ming is not such a person. Her pupils gathered, her gaze became firm, and she said in a cold voice: "I didn't see the money they talked about."

At this moment, she successfully helped Xiao Yun and completed her own redemption.

To the outside world and the crowd watching, the whole process took only a moment. In their eyes, Su Ming answered without any hesitation and without any thought.

But no one knew what Su Ming was thinking at this moment.

Xiao Yun and Xiao Weiguo looked at each other, then turned around and looked at the Su family members tacitly.

The father and son stood straight, one on the left and one on the right, and faced the furious Su family members calmly.

The father and son already knew the answer.

Xiao Weiguo didn't know the truth or what had happened, but he believed in Xiao Yun, unconditionally.

Xiao Yun knew the truth, but he believed that Su Ming would stand firmly on his side.

The truth of the matter came to light. As Su Ming said this, everything that the Su family had just done seemed to have become a laughing stock.

In the same room, people with bad intentions said they saw Xiao Yun taking the money.

No matter what the truth is, the situation is hopeless now and no one will believe them. Instead, they will be regarded as a group extorting a bride price.
