Having trouble choosing when buying Hermès?
Don't know whether to choose a villa or a large flat?
What if you like both rubies and sapphires?
Only the poor make c...
Old Mrs. Zhang didn't expect that Mr. Zhang was serious. She was about to sit on the ground and cry, but the security guard stuffed a stool under her in time.
Zhang Hua felt something was wrong when he saw Zhang's father's expression. He secretly thought that it was a bad decision and he had pushed him too hard this time. He couldn't help but feel annoyed, fearing that Zhang Hao would really not give them money in the future. His eyes turned quickly, trying to think of a way to calm Zhang Hao down first. He was feeling annoyed, but his mother's crying kept ringing in his ears.
“Stop crying!”
With a low growl from Zhang Hua, Zhang's mother's wailing stopped abruptly. Zhang Hua frowned, straightened his tie, and glanced at Mrs. Zhang, who was observing him cautiously.
This old woman is really more of a hindrance than a help!
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried hard to force a smile.
"Second brother, you misunderstood. Our mother only said those words in anger. Why are you arguing with an old lady with a muddled brain? Calm down. You even said such angry words as kicking the house out of possession. Aren't you afraid of upsetting your sister-in-law and the children? Okay, okay, calm down. Let's not say such hurtful words anymore. Sister-in-law, try to persuade him too. We've been together for most of our lives. You can't make such jokes."
Zhang Hao interrupted Zhang Hua directly.
"I'm not kidding. I've been a complete failure as a husband and a father my whole life. I can't be so busy that I'm called an unfilial son. Since Mom thinks I'm unfilial and you refuse to leave Big Brother's house, I'll go live with Big Brother and learn from him how to be filial to Mom!"
Zhang Hua advised with a bitter face.
"Who said you are not filial? Mom is old and confused. I have always known that you are the most filial in our family! Stop talking in anger."
However, Zhang Hao ignored his advice and continued talking.
"The more I think about it, the better this idea seems to me. Big brother, why don't I just go to your house with you today? Since I'm leaving home with nothing, I won't have to pack my things. We two brothers can just stay together tonight and bond. Tomorrow, I'll have Big Sister-in-law clean up a room next to Mom for me. From now on, Mom will be left to me to take care of her, and Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law can focus on making money. Let's go to your house now!"
As he said this, he was about to pull Zhang Hua back.
Zhang Hua hurriedly broke free, and Mrs. Zhang could no longer sit still.
She didn't want to have another person in her house for no apparent reason, especially one who had no money and was going to eat for free. She quickly stopped in front of Zhang's father.
"Why are you leaving? Stop right there! Our house is small and can't accommodate so many people. You should stay somewhere else! Zhang Hua, if you dare let your brother live here, we'll get divorced too!"
Zhang Hua was still hoping to live in the villa, so naturally he didn't want Zhang Hao to live in his house. Seeing this, he looked embarrassed.
"Second brother, you heard this too. We can't all get divorced. It would be so awful if it got out! And what your sister-in-law said is indeed true. Our house is too small and there's really no room for us!"
Father Zhang hesitated when he heard this, but he still didn't give up the idea completely. He lowered his head and thought about it.
"What should I do? I have no money now. I can only contribute to my mother's retirement. If I want to honor my mother, I must be closer to her. But my brother and your family are unwilling to take me in."
As Father Zhang was thinking about it, he suddenly looked up at Zhang Hua and said.
"Since you won't let me go because your family can't accommodate me, then big brother, please rent me a house in your neighborhood. It's best if it doesn't require sharing, so I don't have to worry about disturbing others because I have to take care of Mom at all times. Or you can rent the upstairs floor. When you asked me for money last time, didn't you say that the upstairs neighbor was going out of town and his house was for rent? Do you want to rent that house for Mom to live in? It's just right that Mom and I live upstairs together. You don't have to worry about Mom living alone without anyone to take care of her!"
Zhang Hua was confused.
How did things turn out like this? Didn't he come to Zhang Hao to ask for money and a house? How did he end up renting a house for Zhang Hao?
Zhang Hua shook his head, trying to calm his mind. He looked at Zhang Hao who was trying to pull him over, and waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, no, no! Wait a minute! Don't rush to rent a house. You should live here first. Think about your relationship with your sister-in-law. Don't be impulsive. Mom's affairs are easy to deal with. Your sister-in-law hasn't found a job yet, so let her take care of her first. You're so old now, and your children have started working. You can't just walk out of the house and abandon the family!"
Zhang Hao said disapprovingly.
"But I have no money, and I don't contribute. Doesn't that make me what you call an unfilial person?"
Zhang Hua felt very aggrieved, but he didn't dare to continue to provoke Zhang Hao, so he could only persuade him patiently.
"Don't worry, no one will dare to accuse you of being unfilial while I'm here. We can talk about taking care of our mother later. Your top priority right now is to manage your little family well. Since you feel that your wife and children have suffered with you before, make it up to them now."
Zhang Hua quickly added at this point.
"I'm not asking you to leave the house empty-handed as compensation! Your sister-in-law has been with you for all these years, not for your money. You should spend more time with your sister-in-law and your nephews and nieces. We're all family, there's nothing we can't overcome, and your sister-in-law won't hold a grudge against you!"
Zhang Hao asked.
"What about this month's pension?"
Zhang Hua's heart was bleeding, but he also understood that one cannot catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. As long as he could keep Zhang Hao stable and not let him leave the house with nothing, he would have a chance to get all the money from his family in the future.
He gritted his teeth and said with a smile.
"No need to give! I'll take charge of this matter! Big brother's family still has money, don't worry, they won't let our mother go cold or hungry!"
When Mrs. Zhang heard that Zhang Hua didn't want Zhang Hao's money this month, she pulled Zhang Hua's sleeve in pain and kept winking at him.
They could earn around 6,000 or 7,000 yuan a month here and there! And it just disappeared like that? Wouldn't they be broke for the rest of the month?!
Before Zhang Hua could speak, Zhang Hao noticed his sister-in-law's little action, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Hua and asked.
"Sister-in-law, you don't agree? Then forget it. Just do as I said before. You rent me a house and I'll take care of our mom!"
Zhang Hua glared at Mrs. Zhang fiercely.
These idiots who are holding him back! They really don't have a single brain. They are so short-sighted that they can only see the few thousand dollars in front of them!
Zhang Hao's family was able to buy a house and a car in just a few days, so they definitely have quite a bit of money. As long as they can keep it stable, what else can they want in the future?!
It was a bit strange to think of Zhang Hua.
I don’t know where they got so much money from. It seems that in addition to cheating them out of the house, we also have to find a way to make them tell us how they make money!
After Zhang Hua figured it out, he looked at Zhang Hao with a gentler gaze.
"Don't pay attention to your sister-in-law! I have the final say on this matter! Your sister-in-law has long hair and short knowledge, it's not her turn to make the decision on this matter! Just go home and don't worry about our mother's affairs."
