In her previous life, Old Mrs. Ma dedicated her all to her children. Unexpectedly, her old man ran off with his ex-wife and their money after committing murder.
Her children then pressured he...
Zhang Guojie secretly despised her in his heart. This Ma Xiulan just wanted to use Zhao Xingmin to climb up the social ladder in exchange for money. All she talked about was money. No wonder she looked down on him when he proposed to her before.
Now that I have scared him, I have to find a way to get back at him.
"You, your son, and your daughter beat me like this and gave me a heart attack. But how can your daughter marry me? You still have to give me a dowry of 1,100 yuan."
This 1,100 yuan was the betrothal gift I was willing to give to Zhao Xingmin when I married him, but they didn't appreciate it. Now I'll let them give me so much money as a dowry.
Ma Xiulan looked as if she was going to die:
"God damn it, which family would give their daughter a dowry of 1,100 yuan? That's the salary a worker would have to save for two years without eating or drinking."
"Go out and ask around, which family would give their daughter this much dowry?"
"However much gift you give is the amount of dowry you will get."
Zhang Guojie felt relieved when he saw her pained expression, and couldn't help but feel proud:
"Of course there's no betrothal gift. It's your son and daughter who harmed me. This 1,100 yuan is to buy your son's future. Isn't it worth it?"
Ma Xiulan clutched her chest and said, "Then this isn't a dowry at all. You're blackmailing me."
"You can interpret it however you want. Anyway, if you don't give me the money, I will sue your son."
Zhao Xingguo knew that his mother would not do such a stupid thing, and that she must be acting with her sister, so he hugged Ma Xiulan's thighs and pretended to cry:
"Mom, I still have to take the college entrance exam and return to the city. I don't want to be sued."
Ma Xiulan pretended to be embarrassed, and Zhao Xingmin was also a little scared. Mom, this game is too big.
Zhang Guojie pressured Ma Xiulan: "Old woman, if you don't pay now, the price will be different later."
Ma Xiulan looked anxious: "Where can I find the 1,100 yuan for you now? I have to borrow it. Please give me a few days."
Zhang Guojie smiled grimly. "I know your family's affairs very well. You took 2,000 yuan from a female teacher, and you spent it all? Oh, and didn't Zhao Xingmin also have 1,000 yuan from her brother and sister-in-law? Zhao Xingmin is my wife, so I have to give this money to her too. Give me a total of 2,100 yuan."
Ma Xiu Lan remembered what Niu Chunhua had reminded her about the time when Zhao Xingfeng and Chen Zhenzhen had a secret conversation. It seemed that Zhang Guojie must have something to do with them.
"How could I not spend money for such a long time? My eldest son just got married and it cost a lot of money. I was already in debt for hundreds of dollars. I also had to buy clothes for my family and rent an apartment. Oh, and I also bought a bicycle. I spent so much money. I don't have that much money at all."
Zhang Guojie felt sad when he heard this, because all this money was spent.
But he heard the sound of the crowd in the distance, which meant the movie was over. Fearing that something might happen, he spoke:
"That's 1,500 yuan. Let's go to your house and get it now."
As he spoke, he snatched the rolling pin from Ma Xiulan's hand and dragged her towards her home. Ma Xiulan bargained:
"I don't even have 1,500 yuan, so the total is 1,300 yuan."
Finally, Zhang Guojie snatched Ma Xiulan's small cloth bag containing her money and counted it. He found just over 1,300 yuan. This was the 800 yuan Ma Xiulan had just received for selling Zhao Youcai's job, along with the receipt she had written. There was also 100 yuan from the cooking wages of the elderly Su Shibo couple, the money she had recently earned from selling chili sauce, and some money she had saved for household expenses.
Before leaving, he rode away Ma Xiu Lan's new bicycle.
As soon as Zhang Guojie left, Zhao Xingguo didn't care that Zhao Dahai was still there, and quickly asked Ma Xiulan: "Mom, Xingmin, what are you planning?"
Seeing that they were all her own people, Zhao Xingmin relaxed. Her hands were already wet with sweat, and the paper was also a little wet:
"I just thought that Zhang Guojie has been following us for such a long time, which shows how determined he is. If we don't send him in, he will definitely keep watching me until he succeeds."
"But he didn't do me any real harm this time. We even beat him up. He's so eloquent and stubborn that he might not even get locked up. We might even suffer. If he's investigated, it might affect our chances of taking the college entrance exam the day after tomorrow."
"So I wanted to obey him and get him to write down the document and sign it. This would at least prove that he had been trying to follow me and attack me. It would also prove that you were brave enough to beat him up."
"Then tomorrow when I go to get the marriage certificate and register, they will definitely ask me if it's voluntary. If I cry and show this piece of paper, the comrades at the Civil Affairs Bureau will definitely not sit idly by."
"This way he can have another charge: forcing or threatening a lesbian to marry."
Zhao Xingguo: My sister has become more powerful...
Ma Xiulan then said, "He's still blackmailing people. The amount is huge, even more serious than forcing or threatening lesbians to marry. This is enough to make him suffer. Don't take the risk of going to the Civil Affairs Bureau. I'm afraid he's bribed the people there."
Zhao Xingmin looked at Ma Xiulan and felt relieved. He nodded heavily, "I know Mom is doing this for my own good. I'll listen to her."
Zhao Xingguo: Mom is even more powerful...
After just a few words, Zhang Guojie started blackmailing his mother.
He is the only useless person in the family.
Zhao Dahai: My mind was a mess just now.
Zhou Anan, who had just finished a long phone call, came back to see that the atmosphere at home was not right, and then Ma Xiulan hurriedly arranged:
"An An, you and Xing Min are at home."
"Xingguo, Dahai, the three of us should go report the case right now."
Zhou Anan hurriedly asked Xingmin what was going on. Zhao Xingmin recounted what had just happened: "Fortunately, I listened to you last time, so I didn't get scared by Zhang Guojie's heart attack."
Zhou Anan was also frightened, and then she wondered: "But how did Mom know that Zhang Guojie didn't have a heart disease?"
Zhao Xingmin said with blind admiration: "Mom, you have a sharp eye."
Zhang Guojie was so happy that he rode his bicycle and returned home with the money. He excitedly looked for his household registration book and told his family that he was going to get the marriage certificate the next day. After getting the certificate, he would contact Chen Zhenzhen and tell her that the task was accomplished. After that, he would definitely not let Zhao Xingmin get out of bed for three days, let alone take the college entrance examination.
Then spread the bad reputation of Zhao Xingmin having slept with a man for three days, making her unable to hold her head up high. In this way, the big man behind the scenes that Chen Zhenzhen mentioned will give her money.
He was laughing in his dream, but was soon awakened from his dream because there was a knock on his door.
