Zhao Xingmin didn't expect that Zhao Xingfeng had the nerve to ask him for her dowry money, saying it was a loan. From childhood to adulthood, she had never returned a single thing she had borrowed from him.
And she didn't have any money on her anyway: "I don't have any money on me. I gave all my money to my mom."
Zhao Xingfeng didn't believe it and thought Zhao Xingmin was lying to her. She continued to beg in a low voice, "I don't have any dowry. It would be embarrassing to marry into the Song family. And I said it was a loan. I will pay it back to you later."
"The money is really not with me. I have to go to work."
After saying that, she trotted away. Zhao Xingfeng stared at Zhao Xingmin's back. Wasn't she her elder sister? Did he ignore her just for a man?
Also, Mom is the same. She can't see Big Brother at any other time, so she has to see him at this time.
Doesn't she know she's getting married soon? Why is she running around?

At noon that day, Zhao Youcai was discharged from the hospital and returned home.
He originally wanted to keep the house for a while, but if he stayed any longer, he would have to pay money, so he went home.
Moreover, this morning Li Shulan came over and said that she had just seen Old Lady Wang sell a piece of gold in the gold shop. She asked him if he had collected the money so that she could pay her mother back quickly.
Zhao Youcai didn't know what was going on, so he planned to go home and ask Old Lady Wang.
When he got home, he found that Old Mrs. Wang was not there. He was about to sit down to eat when he seemed to remember something and hurried to Zhao Youfu's house.
--
The house was noisy in the morning. Old Mrs. Wang was upset and went out for a walk. She saw the strong man named Heiwu, whom she had met at Youfu's house last time, walking towards her.
Ask her whether she wants to give money or let Zhao Youfu chop off his hands.
These days, she has been too embarrassed to see her younger son because her eldest son has moved out of his house.
He also thought that since the younger son took the 3,000 yuan from the older son, he would be able to make ends meet. He was not worried even though he knew there was a 500 yuan gambling debt.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Youfu was going to have his hands chopped off because he couldn't pay off his 500 yuan gambling debt.
In order to keep Zhao Youfu's hand, she had to grit her teeth and say that she would pay for it herself, but it would take time.
Black Friday didn't give her time, and kept putting it off for several days. Besides, Mrs. Wang didn't look like she had any money.
Old Lady Wang had no choice but to take Heiwu to the old man’s grave and took out a small piece of gold from it.
Seeing Hei Wu rummaging around inside, Old Lady Wang frowned and said, "It's really gone. My mother-in-law gave me this piece back then. I was afraid I couldn't hide it, so I put it here."
On Black Friday, I accompanied Old Lady Wang to the gold shop to exchange money. The total amount was more than 65 grams, and she got 565 yuan.
When Zhao Youcai arrived, Heiwu had just taken the money given by Old Lady Wang and left, and passed Zhao Youcai on the road.
"Mom, where's the money you got from exchanging gold at the gold shop this morning?"
Old Lady Wang didn't want to admit it and pretended to be confused: "What gold shop? I've never been there."
Zhao Youcai was filled with rage: "You are still lying to me. Shulan saw you sell the gold in the gold shop and exchange it for money."
Unexpectedly, Li Shulan saw it. Old Lady Wang sat on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying:
"Li Shulan, that stinky bitch, is full of nonsense. You actually believed her and not me. I raised this son for nothing."
Zhao Youfu had just survived a robbery and was hiding aside.
Zhao Youcai didn't fall for Old Lady Wang's trick and started searching her pockets. He soon found the remaining 65 yuan and the receipt from the gold shop.
His eyes were filled with disappointment: "Mom, if you only have this youngest son in your eyes, then just follow Zhao Youfu and pretend that I, your eldest son, don't exist in the future."
Old Mrs. Wang was in great pain. Her palms and backs of her hands were all made of flesh, and she loved her eldest son very much.
When Zhao Youfu heard that his elder brother was going to push his mother to him, he immediately said, "Mom has sacrificed so much for you, and now that you're old, you don't care about her anymore. Are you still human?"
Zhao Youcai punched Zhao Youfu and said, "Don't act like a spoiled brat. How much money have you spent on me since you were a child? How much have you taken advantage of me? How much has I taken care of you? And you still have the nerve to accuse me of not caring about me."
Zhao Youfu was beaten and screamed.
Old Lady Wang protected Zhao Youfu distressedly: "Boss, don't be like this."
"You know I'm broke, yet you gave Zhao Youfu 500 yuan, and you did it behind my back. You just lied to me. Zhao Youfu has to pay me back everything he owes me today. Sell his job and give me the money."
Wang Qiuju, who was hiding in the house, couldn't bear it anymore.
"Zhao Youfu, if you don't even have a job, we'll get divorced."
Old Mrs. Wang was so anxious that she burst into tears: "We can't get a divorce. Boss, isn't it just 500 yuan? I'll give it to you."
Zhao Youcai just knew that his mother still had money, that's all.
He turned around and went home, not caring whether Old Lady Wang followed him or not.
Zhao Youfu was surprised: "Mom, you still have money."
Old Mrs. Wang had a worried look on her face. She had no money at all, so she wanted to ask her three daughters for money.
Zhao Youcai originally wanted to go home, but after thinking about it, he turned to the gate of the steel plant and blocked the way for the fourth brother Zhao Xingye who came to work in the afternoon.
"Xingye, Dad wants to tell you something."
Zhao Xingye was confused as to why his father came to the factory gate, but he still followed his father to a secluded place.
"Your second brother came to me yesterday and said that he wanted to give all his salary to me for household expenses. He wanted to live a good life at home in the future and asked me to get him a room.
I thought to myself, your second brother has done so much, it seems wrong for Dad to favor you so much, after all, you are both my sons.
He paid the household allowance, but you didn't. I told you that I would give the money to whoever was more filial to you. If I give you 3,700 yuan, it would be unfair to your second brother."
When Zhao Xingye heard the 3,700 yuan, he thought it was more than the money his mother had, and his mother still had to pay back the debt she owed to his uncle for so many years.
"Then I'll pay my salary too and wait until I get paid this month."
Zhao Youcai suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up.
"Yeah, Dad still favors you in his heart. After all, your mom has loved the second child for so many years, and you always suffer the loss. So, if you save five dollars a month from your salary for pocket money, the second child will have none."
Zhao Xingye thought it would be better to follow his father, and immediately said that he would advance Zhao Youcai 32 yuan of next month's salary.
Zhao Youcai took the money and went home happily.
He took out fifteen yuan and asked his two daughters-in-law to prepare for Zhao Xingfeng's wedding tomorrow.
Tomorrow he would invite several factory leaders to his home for a wedding banquet, so that everyone in the factory could see that he and Deputy Factory Director Song had become in-laws. This would allow him to discuss his return to work with his superiors.
