Once they receive the final payment, they can have a good New Year.
The Spring Festival is just around the corner.
The streets were adorned with red lanterns and red couplets, creating a festive atmosphere.
He Yushen walked hand in hand with her down the street, remarking with emotion, "This is the first time I've ever spent the Chinese New Year away from home."
In the past, I would eat dumplings at home looking disheveled and still not have enough to eat.
Nowadays, you can buy large lamb legs and lamb spine to make soup.
Indeed, marrying a good wife can bring prosperity to three generations.
He's very successful right now.
The two bought a bunch of delicious food, planning to have hot pot on New Year's Eve.
Unexpectedly, the Sheng family called.
I don't know where they got the means to get people to fight their way here.
Sheng Yueqing went to answer the phone.
As soon as she said "hello," Sheng's mother, Zhang Dahua, grumbled, "Sheng Yueqing, where the hell have you been?"
"Do you know your father is seriously ill? He's in the hospital waiting for money for treatment."
"Bring the money back right now, or your dad will die!"
Sheng Yueqing frowned.
I never expected that my precious New Year's Eve would be ruined.
What illness does my dad have?
There has been no DNA testing yet, so it cannot be confirmed at this time that she is not a child of the Sheng family.
She really had to ask about Sheng Dahu's illness, otherwise she was afraid they would come looking for her.
Zhang Dahua made an outrageous demand: "Your dad's in the hospital, so send him a thousand yuan first!"
"You're making a lot of money out there now, don't tell me you don't have any."
"If you dare not pay, I'll come to Shanghai and find you. I'll tell everyone that you have money but won't pay for your father's medical treatment. Let's see how you do business then!"
Sheng Yueqing took a deep breath and suppressed her clenched fist. "I'm asking you what illness my father has. Don't try to extort money from me."
"If I don't have money, threatening me won't work!"
Zhang Dahua didn't believe she had no money. This brat had been clever since she was little, and she knew how to buy and sell goods to earn money for the family at a young age.
Don't you believe she won't make money if she goes to Shanghai?
She's definitely making excuses because she doesn't want to pay.
“Your dad fell down the mountain and injured his leg. He’s limping now. The doctor said he needs surgery. You need to bring money back right away. We’re out of money.”
Since Sheng Yueqing got married, the family has lost half of its income, and the couple has to earn it all themselves.
Although the policy has changed now, and it is now possible to buy and sell things.
However, none of them were good at business, and sometimes they were even beaten and scolded for shortchanging customers.
This time, it was because a rumor circulated in the village that mushrooms from the mountain could be sold to state-run restaurants at high prices, so we went up the mountain together to dig them.
Who knew that the mountain road would be slippery on a rainy day, and Sheng Dahu fell down.
It's not actually that serious.
The problem is the surgery costs money, and my family is reluctant to pay it.
In addition, news came from the Lu family that they saw Sheng Yueqing opening a shop in Shanghai.
As soon as Zhang Dahua heard that Sheng Yueqing had opened a shop, she was convinced that Sheng Yueqing was making a lot of money.
That brat's making a fortune, we have to give her some money!
If she dares not give it to me, I'll call the police and have them arrest her.
Sheng Yueqing sneered, "Don't forget, I'm not registered under the same household registration as you anymore."
"Besides, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; I've already spilled her water, so why would you ask me for money?"
Zhang Dahua didn't care. "Anyway, you grew up eating my family's rice, so you should take care of us in our old age."
“Your dad is in the hospital now, you have to come back to take care of him.”
“Either send money back, or I’ll report you to the police and say you don’t care about your own father’s life or death, that you’re unfilial.”
"I'm going to put it in the newspaper so everyone can see how an unfilial daughter like you deserves to run a shop!"
Sheng Yueqing frowned.
I never expected that Shanda would know these things.
I bet someone with bad intentions taught her that.
However, Zhang Dahua was no good either. Upon hearing such a wicked trick, she naturally wanted to make good use of it.
He Yushen clenched his fists, furious.
Sheng Yueqing told him to calm down.
He sneered into the phone, "If you're going to threaten me like this, then I'll just stop caring about anything."
"I don't have any money."
"Go ahead and publish it in the newspaper, I'll just go back to farming."
"Do you think the police would arrest someone like me who has no money and pay for my services?"
"We've said that children should support their parents, but what if the children don't have the money?"
How can you support your parents if you don't have money?
Are you suggesting they'd arrest someone who's broke and throw them in jail?
Zhang Dahua was intimidated by her.
They were completely taken aback.
"you,"
She truly hadn't expected Sheng Yueqing to be so difficult to deal with.
It's just a thousand yuan, why are you being so unreasonable?
"Okay, then I won't give you a thousand yuan, just give me five hundred yuan."
Sheng Yueqing refused to give it to him.
"I work here for someone else and I'm still heavily in debt. Why don't you lend me some money first?"
Zhang Dahua was furious. "Two hundred it is! No less than that!"
Sheng Yueqing refused to give it to him.
Once this precedent is set...
From now on, it'll be a never-ending stream of money! Money!
She had to be ruthless to prevent them from exploiting her in the future.
“Dear Mom, I really have no money. In the past six months, I’ve been to the police station in Shanghai quite a few times. You can ask around if you don’t believe me.”
"I'm bullied every day because I have no money or power, so I've become familiar with the police station."
"Why don't you call the police to arrest me? I know the police station all too well."
Zhang Dahua was stunned.
He exchanged a glance with Sheng Jinjin and Sheng Dahu beside him.
"That girl said she had no money?"
Although Sheng Dahu and Sheng Jinjin did not believe it.
But Sheng Yueqing was determined not to give it to them, so what could they do?
If they report it to the authorities, do you think the Shanghai Public Security Bureau will listen to them?
Not to mention the police in Shanghai, even the police in the town ignored them.
