Chapter 575 My Dad Wants to Hang Himself

Sure enough, when the relatives from the Zuo family heard about the compensation, their eyes lit up and they started muttering to each other.

Only Zuo Lan's parents could grasp the key point: they wanted compensation, but they could only ask for it once.

But if I marry my daughter to them, they will have her for life. They are very greedy!

"How much money can you spend to buy back my daughter's two years of youth and reputation? Who are you insulting?" Zuo's mother said, "We don't want compensation. We just want Cheng Rui to be responsible and fulfill the promise he made at the time and be good to my daughter for the rest of her life!"

Cheng Rui's face turned red. Yes, he had said this, but now he had to go back on his word. He was ashamed!

He even thought that if nothing works out, he should just let it go and marry Zuo Lan and be a man of his word!

Cheng Hui glanced at Zuo Lan. She didn’t think that if it happened again, she would not run away with him.

When she ran away, Cheng Rui was already very rich. The reason she left the letter was that he was boring. She found that she didn't love him at all and it was painful to live with him. She didn't want to waste her whole life on him and live in vain. Then she took all the money in the family and ran away.

She looked at Cheng Rui again. He was already that old, but his personality couldn't be changed.

She raised her foot and stepped on Cheng Rui's foot, suppressing what he was about to say, and turned to the Zuo family and said, "No matter how much you say, it's useless. My father doesn't like Zuo Lan, and he doesn't like you. He firmly disagrees with this marriage. He said that if my brother dares to marry Zuo Lan, he will hang himself."

She then asked Cheng Rui: "Who would you choose, your biological father or the woman you have known for two years?"

Cheng Rui said awkwardly: "Of course I'd choose my biological father..."

There is nothing wrong with this answer. If you choose a girlfriend, you will be scolded to death by people nowadays. It is so unfilial and you will raise her in vain.

Cheng Hui's words made the Zuo family feel embarrassed, especially Zuo Lan's parents.

They were angry.

"Why does your father look down on our Xiaolan? Why does he look down on us? Are intellectuals so great? They are just a bunch of stinking old men and should be overthrown! I'm going to report you!" Zuo's father shouted.

He really thought so. If they couldn't reach an agreement today, he would report Cheng Jianming for looking down on workers!

Nowadays, anything can be reported. There are no specific rules and regulations. Whether the report is effective depends on luck.

"I'll tell you why my dad looks down on Zuo Lan and you." Cheng Hui took out a notebook and read: "March 8, 1971, 20 cents for a movie, 30 cents for a comb, 1 dollar for a meal."

"March 10, 1971, breakfast 50 cents, diary 1 dollar."

“March 12, buy a silk scarf for 2 yuan.”

“March 13, buy gloves for 2 dollars.”

“On March 14, buy a pen for 5 dollars.”

......

"On May 1, lend 10 yuan to Zuo Lan."

......

"June 1, loan 15 to Zuo Lan."

......

"July 1, lend 20 to Zuo Lan."

.......

This does not include the expenses of buying small gifts, eating out and shopping. Each expense is not large. The biggest expense is the borrowing of money on the first day of every month, and it is increasing.

These data were copied from Cheng Rui's daily account book, specifically about Zuo Lan.

In fact, there is no need to copy at all. 99% of the content in the notebook is from Zuo Lan.

Fortunately, it wasn't her who copied it, but her secretary.

The secretary felt that his work was in vain and he had no place to complain.

Cheng Hui continued to read, but the others could no longer listen.

"What do you mean? He spent all these things on my daughter?" Zuo's mother said, "When two people are in a relationship, what's wrong with the boy paying for meals and movies? Isn't this normal? Does he have to pay for women too? He eats and spends money on women? Does he have any shame?"

"He wants to look good, so he spends all the money, there's nothing wrong with that." Cheng Hui said, "Eating and gifts are nothing, he's willing to spend money, it's his duty, I just want to talk about how much money he's spent on Zuo Lan in the past two years."

"The expenses for dating, such as eating, shopping, etc., are 1,380 yuan." Cheng Hui said.

Everyone took a breath. So many! It's only been more than two years, and many people can't earn that much, but they just spend it on eating and drinking?

The aunts and uncles of the Zuo family all looked at Zuo Lan with strange eyes. They could hear clearly that apart from eating and watching movies, most of the money was spent on buying various things for Zuo Lan, such as clothes, socks, notebooks, pens and so on.

I spent more than 1,000 yuan, what a waste! If this was the daughter-in-law their son found, they would also hang themselves!

Zuo Lan's parents were also surprised by this number and rolled their eyes at their daughter. They didn't know it was so much. If they had known it was so much, they would not have let her spend it! How about taking it home and giving it to them?

"You also said that this is something he is happy about! Why are you bringing up the past now?" Zuo Lan's father said.

"This is not an old account. The old account is here." Cheng Hui said, "What I just said was the cost of our relationship. It does not include the money Zuo Lan borrowed from my eldest brother in the name of borrowing money. It is a total of 860 yuan in two years. This must be paid back."

"What?"

"impossible!"

“Not so much!”

"We'll all be a family in the future, what else is there to pay back?"

"You are extorting money!" Zuo Lan's mother rolled her eyes and said, "Cheng Rui is a young man. When he first started working, his salary was more than 40 yuan. He spent more than 2,000 yuan in two years. He doesn't have that much money at all!"

"Yes, he spent all the pocket money and New Year's money he saved since he was a child." Cheng Hui said.

Although Cheng Jianming was cold to them before, he knew that the three children could not survive by eating air, so he gave them pocket money regularly. Cheng Rui's was saved, Cheng Kai's was spent, and Cheng Hui's was all cheated away by their stepmother.

"We don't believe it! You have no evidence!" Zuo Lan's parents said with their necks stiff.

"You don't want to pay back the money." Cheng Hui said: "Then I will call the police. More than 800 is not a small amount. It's enough for sentencing.

"You don't have to worry about the evidence. Every time my brother lent money to Zuo Lan, his classmates and colleagues knew about it. Sometimes he even lent money in front of them. These are the witnesses."

In an instant, the faces of the family of three turned ugly.

Zuo's mother looked around and saw a wardrobe, a sofa, a television, a refrigerator, an electric fan, and two particularly beautiful square machines. She had no idea what they were used for.

Just this room full of furniture must cost several thousand dollars, right?

"You are a family of misers! You have tons of wealth but you squander it. You spend a few hundred dollars on your girlfriend and you want to sue to get it back? Do you have any shame?" Zuo's mother said angrily.

Cheng Hui said: "How much money I have has nothing to do with my brother. My brother is a wage earner. He spent all his 20 years of savings on Zuo Lanhua in just two years. My father thinks she is not a person who knows how to live, so he doesn't agree.

"I want to call the police, not because I want to get the few hundred dollars back, I just want to make a big fuss so that everyone knows about this and can give us some advice on whether a girl like Zuo Lan is suitable for marriage."

In an instant, the faces of the Zuo family, including the aunts and uncles, turned dark.

If a real fuss breaks out, the only one who will be embarrassed will be Zuo Lan! And the children of these relatives too! Don’t even think about finding a good husband’s family in the future!

Mother Zuo shouted with a dark face: "Since you want to do it so drastically, don't blame us for doing it drastically! Cheng Rui bullied my daughter, so he must be responsible! If he doesn't take responsibility, we will sue him for coercion!"

Cheng Rui asked Zuo Lan with a complicated expression: "What do you say? Did I force you?"
