The two have been together for so long, it is impossible to say that they don't know each other at all. Jiang Chao remembered Aunt Jiang's instructions and threatened sinisterly, "Zhang Tieying, I divorced for you and handed the gold lock to you a long time ago! If you don't marry me, then you have to pay me back all the money I spent on you!"

"What? You want me to pay back the money?" Zhang Tieying was angry and shocked. She didn't expect that Jiang Chao, who always obeyed her, would react so strongly to this matter.

"Why? Is it not possible? You kept saying you wanted to be with me, so I paid so much for you. Now either get married or pay me back, it's up to you!"

Jiang Chao looked like he was not willing to negotiate, and Zhang Tieying's face turned pale. She had already spent all the money, but if she refused to pay it back, Jiang Chao would definitely not let it go.

She thought about it and squeezed out two tears. "Why are you so anxious? When did I say I didn't want to marry you? Haven't I been waiting for you to bring the betrothal gift? Now that we have a child, have you thought about how you will live in the future?"

But Jiang Chao was no longer as easy to fool as before. He smiled coldly, "Let's talk about the future later! You have dragged me on for so long and refused to get married. Now is the perfect time to end it. If you don't want to, I think we should end it as soon as possible! Let's live our own lives!"

"you!"

Zhang Tieying almost fainted, but she also knew that it was because of her that Jiang Chao was unhappy during this period. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to calm down first. "What do you mean by live your own lives? Don't you know how I feel about you? So, as long as you can get the betrothal gifts and decorate your yard and put some furniture in it, I will agree to marry you."

"Are you serious?" Jiang Chao patted his chest and assured, "Okay, with your words, I will do it for you even if I have to go through fire and water."

As he said this, he touched Zhang Tieying's belly again, letting those bastards in the village laugh at him. They really thought that he would not be able to find another woman after leaving Liu Chunhua. Now that Zhang Tieying was pregnant and married into his Jiang family, let's see what those people have to say!

The news soon reached Liu Chunhua's ears. At that time, she and Ruyi were planting plum trees in the yard. As they planted the saplings one by one, the whole yard would be filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms in time.

Jiang Zhize said excitedly, "Mom, you were right. Widow Zhang is pregnant and has agreed to marry Jiang Chao, but the prerequisite is a proper betrothal gift. He has no money, so he came to me again."

"Then do you agree?" Liu Chunhua didn't even raise her head as she buried the soil with Jiang Ruyi. These small saplings were like a glimmer of hope in her heart. She hoped that these plum trees would bloom early.

Jiang Zhize shook his head and smiled wickedly, "I did as my mother said and said that the store was under tight control and I couldn't come up with the money. He kept urging me to think of another way. I think he really put all his hopes on me."

【That’s not right. 】

Jiang Ruyi clenched her fist and snorted sarcastically. Jiang Chao had been lazy all his life, so of course he couldn't take out money when he needed it urgently. The only person who could let him get something for nothing and ask for it naturally was Jiang Zhize.

Fortunately, they had already thought of a plan to deal with it. Liu Chunhua planted all the saplings in an orderly manner before saying calmly, "Next time he comes to you, you should agree to it first. For the rest, just do as we agreed before."

"Okay!"

Jiang Zhize readily agreed. A few days later, Jiang Chao could no longer sit still and found Jiang Zhize again.

"Stinky boy, what happened to the thing I told you last time? Why is there no movement at all?"

"Dad, don't worry. Mom found out about the money missing from the store. She's been watching here recently, so I didn't have a chance to do anything."

Jiang Chao didn't care about that. He just knew that Zhang Tieying finally gave in, and he couldn't let the cooked duck fly away. "You are her biological son. Even if she finds out that you took the money, what can she do? Can she kill you? Hurry up, I'm waiting for you!"

"I know, don't worry, Dad. I have thought of a way." Jiang Zhize told him that in half a month, Liu Chunhua would settle the bill with the outside shops. By then, Liu Chunhua would be too busy to take care of herself, so no one would notice if he withdrew a few hundred from the account.

"Half a month. That's the auspicious day set by your aunt. Are you sure?" Jiang Chao was still a little worried, and Jiang Zhize immediately assured him.

"It's a sure thing. Besides, didn't you just say it, Dad? I'm Mom's biological son. Even if she finds out, I'll just get beaten up. As long as you and your godmother can be together, it's worth it."

"My good son, I just don't know if it's too late." He had to prepare a betrothal gift for Zhang Tieying, renovate the yard, and buy some new furniture. It would take time to complete all of this.

Jiang Zhize thought about it and pretended to be concerned for him. "How about this? You prepare these things first. Buy what you need first. If you don't have money, buy on credit. I'll pay you back when I get the money."

"Is this okay...?"

Jiang Chao frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Jiang Zhize simply threw his hands together, "This is the only solution, unless you can think of a better solution. I just don't know if my godmother will change her mind after I get the money and prepare everything."

These words really touched Jiang Chao's heart. Although Zhang Tieying agreed to marry him last time, her attitude towards him in the past few days was very abnormal. In addition, Jiang Chao himself was unsure and did not dare to take the risk.

"Okay, then Dad will trust you this time, please don't let me down!"

"Don't worry, this is a big deal for you and your godmother, I will definitely do my best to help you."

After seeing Jiang Chao off, Jiang Zhize turned around to talk to Liu Chunhua. In the quiet little room, the only sound was Liu Chunhua's shallow breathing.

After a long while, she asked, "Boss, do you think mother is cruel?"

"No, they deserve it." Jiang Zhize has completely come to his senses. All those who have made things difficult for them and their son deserve to die. How can he be called cruel?

Jiang Ruyi also comforted him, "You are a good person, and they are...bad people."

Liu Chunhua smiled and said, yes, they are the bad guys.

Wasn't it what they did in their previous lives to kill for money and make them all die miserably? I was just giving them a small punishment and warning, which was nothing.

On the other side, Feng Chuchu looked at Jiang Chao's back as he left, her little face twisted into a knot.

"Mom! Are you really going to marry this loser?"

Zhang Tieying's expression was not much better either. She certainly didn't want to live an ordinary life like this, but the damn Jiang Chao told Aunt Jiang about her pregnancy, and Aunt Jiang started shouting about it everywhere in the village. All the bachelors who used to have occasional contact with her, when they heard that she was pregnant with Jiang Chao's child, all of them kept away from her. If she lost Jiang Chao, this stepping stone, she would really have no way out!
