Chapter 225: Shooting Yourself in the Foot



Zhou Yunyan simply couldn't bear to look at it. He was so unlucky to be married to such an idiot.

The old man snorted coldly, his voice majestic.

"Nonsense! You're the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, why would you do such a thing? I know you have conflicts and fights in secret. Normally, I wouldn't bother to get involved and would just turn a blind eye. But now that the old lady is out of danger, and she just invited you to her house for a meal of dumplings, you've caused so much trouble. Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

The old man is usually quite gentle towards his juniors. Although he is strict, he speaks with discretion.

It can be seen that he was really angry today.

Zheng Xinyue was on the verge of collapse, regretting it deeply. If she had known earlier, she would not have done it. What was the point of just doing it for a moment of pleasure?

"Grandpa, I..."

Zheng Xinyue opened her mouth, wanting to explain but found that she had no excuse at all.

She is not a three-year-old child. Doesn't she know that scratching a car is a bad thing?

"Aiguo, as an elder, you have the obligation to educate your own children. Now that something like this has happened, you are the most responsible. Your family should not stay here today. Pack up and go back."

The old man directly ordered them to leave and didn't want to see this family at all.

Zhou Yunyan clenched his fists. The old man had never said such harsh words to his family. Zheng Xinyue, this idiot, was looking for trouble at this critical moment. I really don’t know what she was thinking?

"Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please don't bother with me."

Zheng Xinyue begged in a low voice, saying that if she was driven away like this, her parents-in-law would definitely not let her go when they returned.

The old man didn't even look at her and went back to the bedroom with his hands behind his back.

Zheng Wangshu had no intention of letting them go. "Since you've admitted it was you, then you must pay for the car repairs. We don't know how much it's going to cost yet, but when the time comes, we'll come back to you with the bill. You can't pay even a penny less. We're brothers, and we haven't settled our accounts yet, right?"

Zheng Xinyue glared at Zheng Wangshu with resentment, her lips turning white with anger.

"Aiguo, you should leave now, don't make the old man unhappy."

Zhou Jingye on the side urged.

Zhou Aiguo had never been so embarrassed as he was today. His old face was wrinkled like orange peel. He waved his sleeves and scolded a few words.

"You still have the nerve to stay here? Come home with me!"

Gao Huilan followed her husband out with a gloomy face.

Zhou Yunyan glared at Zheng Xinyue fiercely, and his feet seemed to be greased.

Zheng Xinyue looked at Zheng Wangshu, then at Zhou Yunyan, and hurriedly chased after him.

After the group left, Zheng Wangshu cursed in a low voice, "It's bad luck."

Zhou Jingchuan went over, put his arm around her shoulders and patted her gently.

"Don't be angry, it can be fixed, it's not a big deal."

"Yeah, I'm fine."

When we were eating dumplings, the atmosphere was obviously much better because no one from the second room was there.

The old man didn't tell the old lady about this. Although she couldn't eat greasy food, she still ate some vegetarian dishes.

After dinner, Zheng Wangshu and his family drove his parents-in-law back home and let Li Ruhui sit in the passenger seat.

Although she was upset that her car was scratched, Li Ruhui was still very happy to be able to ride in a car.

After returning to the family compound, he even smiled and greeted the acquaintances who came and went. That energy was so popular that Zheng Wangshu couldn't help but laugh.

After returning home, Zhou Jingchuan asked Zheng Wangshu to rest early, and he drove the car to repair it. It was not early when he came back.

"How is it? How long will it take to fix it?"

"Soon, tomorrow afternoon will be enough."

Zheng Wangshu nodded, but couldn't help asking, "How much would it cost to repaint it?"

Zhou Jingchuan raised his eyebrows. "It's a lot of money, more than 300 yuan, because she marked the whole circle."

Zheng Wangshu didn't feel bad at all, since it wasn't their money anyway.

"Did you get the bill back? I'll go get the money tomorrow."

"I've got it back. I'll go with you tomorrow."

Zheng Wangshu was doing this kind of thing now that she was pregnant, and Zhou Jingchuan always felt uneasy, fearing that she would be bullied.

After get off work the next day, Zhou Jingchuan and Zheng Wangshu went directly to the second house.

When Gao Huilan learned that they had to pay three hundred yuan in compensation, she jumped up.

"It's just a few scratches, and you want three hundred dollars? Why don't you just rob it?"

Zheng Xinyue was also dumbfounded. This was all the money she had. If she paid it all out, she would be left with nothing.

"What do you mean we have to rob it? This is an order from the factory, not us arbitrarily asking for a price. If you don't believe me, you can go to the auto repair shop and ask. If it's just a scratch, it's okay, it's cheaper to repair it. But your daughter-in-law scratched the entire car body, and the entire paint needs to be replaced. They gave us a discount because we know each other, otherwise it would be much more expensive."

Gao Huilan looked at the list with her heart bleeding. If it were someone else, she might have just gotten away with it, but the old man already knew about this matter. If it wasn't handled properly, things would probably become more serious.

But asking her to pay this money is absolutely impossible.

"Zheng Xinyue, you have to pay for the good things you did. Our family doesn't have the spare money to clean up your mess."

Zheng Xinyue bit her lower lip and looked at Zheng Wangshu and the others with more resentment.

"Your family is so rich, how could you possibly miss out on these three hundred yuan? Why bother repairing it yourself? Zheng Wangshu, I'm still your sister after all. I've lived with you for over a decade, and you really don't want to see me well?"

Zheng Xinyue's thoughts were simple. She was indeed wrong in this matter, but they were all family, so why bother? Besides, who hasn't made some mistakes?

Zhou Jingchuan makes so much money and doesn't need the three hundred yuan. What's the point of him coming here to force her?

Zheng Wangshu was so angry that he laughed. How could they say they had money and still wanted her to pay them? Their money was earned through hard work, not just a gift from the sky.

Not only did he not repent for his mistakes, but he was also able to come up with such twisted theories. He is indeed Gu Meicen's offspring.

"Don't say I'm your sister. I'm not your sister. If your mother hadn't killed my mother, we wouldn't even be able to enter the same house. Stop talking nonsense and take out the money quickly. If you don't give it to us, we can only talk to the old man."

Zheng Wangshu was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and directly expressed his attitude.

Hearing her mention the old man, Zheng Xinyue was also scared and could only run back to the house and take out her private money and give it to Zheng Wangshu.

After receiving the money, Zheng Wangshu was not very happy because she knew that the 300 yuan was given by Zheng Jianjun. To put it bluntly, it was still the Zheng family's money, not Zheng Xinyue's own money.

But I can't care about so many things right now. It's good to get the money back. At least I feel relieved.

Zheng Xinyue didn't have a job to begin with, and without this money, her life would probably be even more difficult in the future.
