Originally, everyone thought that the issue of bride price would be settled for a while.
A few days ago, she also received an internal email from the company saying that her plan was adopted by MX Company and that their company will cooperate with MX Company in the future.
She just needs to wait for her salary and bonus to be paid in a month.
But less than a week later, Tonghua received a call from Zhang Guiying.
As soon as she saw Zhang Guiying, Tonghua had a bad feeling in her heart. Zhang Guiying seldom called her, and usually, if there was anything, she would convey it through her father.
She took her cell phone and walked to the stairwell at a corner of the company before answering the call.
The call started with Zhang Guiying asking about Tonghua's well-being and work.
Tonghua was impatient with her saying these things. There was no outsider on the phone. She had already known what kind of person Zhang Guiying was. Now her hypocritical look only made her feel disgusted.
Tonghua asked her directly what was wrong, but she still had work to do.
Zhang Guiying said hypocritically on the phone: "I'm calling this time because of your brother's marriage. I also told my in-laws what you told me when you came home. I asked them to wait a month and then we would buy a house and give the betrothal gifts to the couple. But now the situation has changed."
Tonghua was puzzled: "What's wrong? They can't wait for a month?"
Zhang Guiying sighed: "Some time ago, Xinyue said she wasn't feeling well, so Zhengyuan took her to the hospital for a checkup. Unexpectedly, they found out she was pregnant. When her in-laws found out, they were worried that Xinyue's belly would be too big and it would be difficult to hold a wedding. So, as a token of sincerity, they said we could buy the house later, but we had to pay the betrothal gift first."
Tonghua saw through their thoughts immediately: "The girl's family is really worried that if she gets pregnant, we'll go back on our word and refuse to give the betrothal gift or buy a house? So they're doing this?"
Zhang Guiying wiped her tears as she spoke, "They also said that the betrothal gift must be paid within a week, otherwise her parents would take Xinyue and abort the child. Xiaotong, this is your first nephew. You can't just watch your unborn nephew die."
Tonghua said indifferently, "His parents don't care about their child's life or death, so why should I, an outsider, care? Are you calling me now to ask for money? To be honest, no matter how hard you push me, I can't come up with that much money in a week."
Zhang Guiying didn't expect Tonghua to be so reckless. She came up with another evil idea: "Although you don't have money now, your husband does. The last time you came back, I could tell your son-in-law is definitely a rich man. Look at the place you live in now. I've checked it out. The houses there are not cheap. One unit costs several million. And the car he drives is a BMW. Who can afford it? I know you're shy and embarrassed to ask your husband for money. So I'll go find your son-in-law myself. I don't think he's the kind of person who doesn't understand things..."
Hearing that Zhang Guiying was planning to find Qin Zun, Tonghua became upset: "Let me tell you, no matter how rich Qin Zun is, that's his business. Don't keep thinking of having any bad ideas about him."
She knew that once Zhang Guiying came to see her, it would definitely not be a good thing. She guessed that the last time she asked Qin Zun to go home with her was to find out how much money he had so that she could make money from him.
Now I see that it is indeed the case.
Zhang Guiying secretly hated him: "You two are husband and wife, so his money is your money, isn't it? You are Zhengyuan's biological sister. Your brother is in trouble, don't you plan to help him?"
Tonghua warned her: "How ridiculous! You, as a mother, don't even contribute money to support your own son, but you have to rely on me, your half-sister, to pay. I'm not the kind of half-brother who would be willing to transfer the pressure of life to my husband for the sake of my brother."
Zhang Guiying was a little angry: "Your husband obviously has money, but you didn't ask him for it, and you didn't allow us to ask for it. We raised you up, but you didn't bring home a penny when you got married. Now you are turning your elbows out. You are really like a daughter who is married off and is like water poured out. You are useless."
"That's really funny. Why should I bring money home when I get married? I have no use for it. Before, I lived at home and paid off my foreign debt. Wasn't that money? I stayed at home doing laundry and cooking, but that was useless too."
Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, Zhang Guiying had no choice but to threaten her: "Then I will go to your company and ask your leaders to judge the matter and see if they will defend you, an ungrateful person."
Zhang Guiying knew that Tonghua had put in a lot of effort to get into this big company, and she definitely wouldn't be willing to give up her current job.
Therefore, she asked Tong Shaogang in advance where Tong Hua worked, just waiting for the day when she could control her.
Tonghua narrowed her eyes slightly. "Are you threatening me? I'm telling you, if you dare to come to our company and cause a scene, embarrassing me, I'll just resign. But from now on, you'll never get a penny from me in your life. I mean what I say!!!"
Originally, her half-brother shouldn't have to ask her for money for his marriage. She is just his sister, not his parent.
But she knew that if she stood idly by, Zhang Guiying would definitely not miss this opportunity to ask Qin Zun for money.
These messes in your own family should not involve innocent people.
That's why she agreed to use the bonus to help her brother get married, but if Zhang Guiying pushed her too far, she would cut off ties with her family, find a place where they couldn't find her, and never care about anything again.
