Chapter 1842: Runaway Debtor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In their eyes, Xie Jing was not a person who would scold others. When Xie Jing approached Wu Duo just now, he spoke in a low voice, so the people around him naturally did not hear anything. fre(e)webnov(l).com

Both Qiao Mei and Li Xue believed that Wu Duo would not falsely accuse Xie Jing. In that case, they had to find other ways to help Wu Duo.

“Is this the fellow villager you told me about?” Qiao Mei asked as she pointed at Xie Jing.

Wu Duo looked at Qiao Mei confusedly. He thought he had just told her who this person was? Why was she asking him again? Could it be that Qiao Mei did not hear him clearly just now?

“Yes, it’s him,” Wu Duo said in a daze.

“Oh- So he’s the fellow villager who owes you 800 dollars! Did you manage to get the money back just now?” Qiao Mei asked.

“l didn’t! He refuses to acknowledge the debt! That’s why I accidentally hit him!” Wu Duo said agitatedly.

He was agitated not because someone was helping to clear him of this injustice, but from the excitement of lying. He never imagined that Qiao Mei would use such a method to frame Xie Jing.

“You’re talking nonsense. When did I ever owe you money?” Xie Jing said with a frown.

“You still don’t want to admit it! Everyone in the village knows about this! Back when your father was seriously ill, everyone in the village lent money to your family! If all of you don’t believe me, you can go to my village and ask anyone there! This is quite a recent matter! The elders in the village will definitely remember it! You’ll know whether what I say is true once you go there and ask around!” Wu Duo shouted loudly.

“Is this true?” the girl beside Xie Jing asked.

Xie Jing remained silent. Back then, his family had indeed borrowed money from many people, but definitely not from the Wu family. He had never even met Wu Duo before. However, what Wu Duo said was the truth and he could not refute it.

For so many years, he had always portrayed himself as a gentleman in front of everyone and never said much about his family. This was the first time someone had made his family background public.

“l signed IOUs with all my creditors. Don’t spout nonsense,” Xie Jing said.

“Back then, you told me that your father was seriously ill and you urgently needed money, so I gave you all the money my family had! The situation was so urgent that there was no time to sign an IOU. I originally wanted to get it done until you had some free time, but I didn’t expect you and your parents to disappear the next day! When I finally found some information about you, 1 heard that you had gone to university!” Wu Duo said.

“What? How can there be such a thing?”

“Is what he said true?

“How can Xie Jing be such a person? He must be lying!” The people in the crowd discussed animatedly among themselves and Xie Jing found it difficult to explain himself.

“You entered university so secretly that no one in the village knew that you were going to the university! Who will believe you even if you say that you haven’t done this on purpose! If I lie, I’ll get struck by lightning! Everyone in the village knows about this! All of you can ask around!” Wu Duo pointed at Xie Jing and shouted.

Back then, in order to avoid Wu Duo and everyone else, Xie Jings whole family had moved to an unfamiliar city. At that time, Wu Duo and his family were still immersed in the excitement of Wu Duo entering Capital University. Everyone in the village thought that the spot belonged to Wu Duo, but no one expected Xie Jing to have taken it instead.

Wu Duo did not say anything else. After all, the full story involved him being cuckolded. It would not be good to say too much as he still cared about his reputation.

Before the college entrance examination scheme was announced, university students who entered by way of class background were highly lauded. If any family produced a university student, they would put up lanterns and decorations at home, set off firecrackers, offer sacrifices to their ancestors and so on. The entire village would be equally as proud. However, it was really rare to see someone who did what Xie Jing did.

Could it be that this entire matter was really Xie Jings fault? Did Xie Jing really owe Wu Duo a lot of money? 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

This matter was not just about 10 dollars. If it was a small amount and Xie Jings family was really hard-pressed, everyone would persuade Wu Duo not to be so particular about the debt. They might even pool their money to help Xie Jing pay it back.

However, this was a sum of 800 dollars, which was more money than an ordinary family could earn in a year. This was not something that could be resolved easily. No one had the heart to to persuade Wu Duo to give up.

Everyone stared at Xie Jing, hoping that he would give them a clear answer and let them know who was in the right and whether it was Wu Duo who had bullied him.

However, Xie Jing did not know where to start. He was scared that if he said something wrong, it would expose what he did back then. If so, all his years of hard work would be for naught..
