Chapter 246 Joining Forces

Su Hongying smiled and gave him a reproachful look, saying, "I only asked my third brother for your sake, even though I had to lower myself and inquire with him. His business is booming now, and he knows all sorts of people. Yesterday, he told me he was going to the municipal investment promotion office to talk to the canteen about cooperation. With so many competitors, if he doesn't show some sincerity, who would be willing to give him a business deal?"

Zhang Haijun suddenly realized and said "Oh".

"Wasn't your third brother previously... lazy and unwilling to work? How come he's willing to go into business?"

"He's getting married to his girlfriend soon, how will he support his wife and kids if he doesn't earn money?"

Su Hongying looked at him irritably, "Do you think everyone is like you, giving all their money to their mothers and not caring about their wives and children's well-being, whether they're married or not?"

Zhang Haijun, after being rebuked, awkwardly touched his nose.

Knowing she could stop now, Su Hongying continued to try and persuade Zhang Haijun, "You work so hard, isn't it all for that little bit of money? If it weren't for that little bit of money, who would work themselves to death at a job?"

Zhang Haijun wholeheartedly agreed with this statement.

He said, “Hongying, I’ll listen to you on this matter. Let’s do it this way. I’ll go prepare the New Year’s gifts tomorrow and buy red flowers. We’ll go to the leader’s house to pay our respects before the tenth of the lunar month.”

Su Hongying gave him a thumbs up.

"Brother Navy, with your drive, you'll succeed at anything."

Zhang Haijun smiled at the compliment and said, "After I get back from the leader's place, I'll look for a house. I'll take some time these days to clean it up. Once you're out of confinement, the three of us will move in. We'll earn our own money and spend it ourselves."

"Uh-huh!"

Su Hongying's eyes sparkled as she looked at Zhang Haijun with exceptional sincerity. "Brother Haijun, they all say that those who love their wives will rise to great heights. I believe you will definitely succeed! Then you'll have a voice in the Zhang family, and your parents will surely see your abilities!"

Zhang Haijun was listening with a smile to her praising him, but when he heard about his parents, his expression turned somewhat disappointed.

His mother didn't think she had done anything wrong at all.

These past few days, when he goes back home, he says sarcastically, "Weren't you going to move out? Why are you back?"

"If you're so capable, then die out there. You've spoiled us rotten; you don't even know your parents' last name anymore!"

"You've forgotten your mother after getting a wife, you ungrateful wretch..."

He slammed the door several times after hearing this, holding back his anger and wanting to make a name for himself to show them!

Before Su Hongying could say anything more, she saw a familiar figure moving around at the door and made an excuse to send Zhang Haijun away.

No sooner had Zhang Haijun left than Fan Liangyu came in, looking at her with a complicated expression.

Su Hongying laughed, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You...you still want to stay with him? He treated you like that, don't you mind at all?"

Fan Liangyu didn't understand, "You... your mother and your two brothers worked so hard to save your life, and you're treating it like this, aren't you letting them down?"

"Fan Liangyu, thank you."

Su Hongying sighed and looked at her with a smile, "My mother told me to thank you when I saw you, but I never had the chance. Now I'm making up for it. Thank you so much. If it weren't for you... I might have lost my life to the Zhang family long ago."

Fan Liangyu hummed in agreement.

He said, "My initial reason for saving you was simply that I didn't want to see you die; you... shouldn't have died like that. But... now that you're like this, I suddenly regret it..."

"Regret what? Regret saving me?" Su Hongying asked.

Fan Liangyu nodded slowly.

Su Hongying chuckled, but as she laughed, her brows suddenly furrowed, and she cried out in pain, clutching the area of ​​her abdomen where she had undergone surgery.

"Are you alright?" Fan Liangyu instinctively stepped forward to support her.

Su Hongying shook her head, looked up at her, and said, "Look at me, I barely escaped death, I almost went through hell before I was able to live again, and now I can't even laugh. Do you think I'll forget my lesson so quickly and become a loving couple with him?"

Fan Liangyu was stunned for a moment, "Then what are you doing...?"

"They won't let me have an easy time, so I'll make sure they don't have an easy time either."

Su Hongying gave a deliberately sinister laugh and said to Fan Liangyu, "I'm a very petty person, and I hold grudges. I can remember a few words my mother says to me for a long time, and they... I can remember them until I die."

Seeing her like this, Fan Liangyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, but you'd better stay away from this kind of scum. Who knows what tricks he'll pull next? By the way..."

Fan Liangyu told him about Zhang Haijun arguing with his biological mother.

"Yes, I know. Zhang Haijun told me that he felt the money should be his. He's been giving his salary home for several years, which adds up to about five thousand yuan..."

Su Hongying smiled as she looked at Fan Liangyu, "I just went along with what he said and told him that the money was his, and he should hold onto it tightly so he could use it for promotion activities. If his mother doesn't give him money to bribe officials, he won't let go of the money. If his mother doesn't want to give it to him, she will naturally argue with him and make a scene. Wouldn't it be fun for mother and son to turn against each other?"

Fan Liangyu: "...Yes."

"Did you divorce your second son?" Su Hongying smiled when she saw her in a daze.

Fan Liangyu shook her head and said, "I just moved out, but Zhang Lao Er is stubbornly refusing to get a divorce. If I go alone, they definitely won't give me a divorce certificate. They'll probably send people from the Women's Federation to try and reconcile us. I haven't thought of a way to deal with him yet. He's like a piece of dog skin plaster, so annoying!"

Mentioning Zhang Lao Er would ignite Fan Liangyu's temper.

"...I was completely bewitched back then, how could I have been so easily deceived by their sweet talk? Marrying into such a family, ugh!"

"Who can argue with that?"

Su Hongying sighed and advised Fan Liangyu, "If Zhang Lao Er doesn't want to divorce, then let's not divorce for now."

"no."

Fan Liangyu firmly objected, "I don't want to see him even for a day. He disgusts me. I can ignore his sarcastic remarks, but the key point is that he also agreed that you should stay home to have the baby. Your face was so pale, it looked like you were about to bleed. His whole family is black-hearted. I don't want to waste my time on him! This divorce is a must!"

"I didn't mean you couldn't get a divorce, what I meant was..."

Su Hongying looked at Fan Liangyu and said, "Divorce is easy, but are you sure you're willing to let them go so easily? Don't you want to see what it's like when Zhang Lao Er and Zheng Xiulan argue?"

Fan Liangyu, "..."

She pursed her lips and blinked. "To be honest, I'm quite interested to see it. This family is full of bad intentions. Before they had wives, the whole family kept clamoring to get one. After they brought her home, the whole family ganged up on her and bullied her. It's really disgusting."

"Right?"

Su Hongying smiled and continued to entice, "You've been married into this family for a few months, haven't you? You've lost your health, haven't you? You've been mentally abused, haven't you? Don't you want to ask them for some compensation? Given the Zhang family's situation, anyone who marries into this family will suffer. Do you want other good girls to be ruined by them?"

These words touched a nerve with Fan Liangyu, who asked her, "Do you have a solution?"

Su Hongying reached out her hand.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for. Come on."

Fan Liangyu reached out his hand, and the two shook hands. Su Hongying smiled like a little fox and said, "I don't have any great skills, I just like to play tricks on people. Zhang Lao Er is not necessarily as smart as Zhang Haijun. If the two of us join forces, are we afraid we can't do anything to those two brothers?"
