Zhao Youcai was lying in the house, worrying that he couldn't marry Li Shulan in order to keep his job. Shulan must be so sad. How could he and Shulan be such a pair of unfortunate lovers?
Seeing his two sons knock on the door and come straight in to him, he tried not to look too miserable: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xingjia told what had just happened, and then begged:
"Dad, give the money to my mom now, otherwise she'll go to the factory where the fourth brother and I work and cause trouble. What will happen to our work?"
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Youcai cautiously. When it comes to his two sons' work, dad will definitely take care of it.
If it only involved him, maybe his father would be coaxed by the fourth child and would ignore him. In the future, the fourth child would have a job and the family business would belong to him.
Zhao Youcai's face darkened: "How much is it?"
He didn't expect that these two would do such a thing. How did Ma Xiu Lan teach her children? She corrupted the good children of his Zhao family.
But he couldn't just ignore it. Both of his sons would hand over their wages. If they lost their jobs, they would no longer have this income.
"I think it was about three hundred yuan."
"How many?"
Zhao Youcai had only 257 yuan in his pocket.
The dozen or so yuan in his pocket was all taken away by Ma Xiu Lan. Later, he accepted a betrothal gift of 200 yuan from Zhao Xingfeng, gave 20 yuan to his two daughters-in-law for household expenses, and had 15 yuan left for the wedding. The remaining money was used for household expenses.
The remaining money was 65 yuan extorted from Old Lady Wang, and 27 yuan from the salary handed in by the fourth brother. The total amount he had on hand was 257 yuan.
It's impossible for him to pay all the money while his two sons don't pay a penny.
"I'll give you two two hundred dollars, and you two can figure out how to handle the remaining one hundred. Daddy has money, but if I don't let you take any responsibility for this matter, you won't know that you've done something wrong. This is all for your own good."
Zhao Xingjia wanted to say that he had no money, but Zhao Youcai had already driven them out.
Zhao Xingye was the first to say, "You only gave me 50 out of 300 yuan. I only have to bear one-sixth of it. I'll give you the remaining 10 yuan later. You can figure out the rest yourself."
Zhao Xingjia went out to find Chen Zhenzhen. Chen Zhenzhen said that she had given a dowry of 100 yuan. She always said that this was her money and she had to save it. It was her final guarantee, and he had never thought of touching her money.
There is really no way to do this now, and many of those packages were sent to her parents' home by Chen Zhenzhen.
He saw Chen Zhenzhen and Zhao Yang eating buns in the small park.
My heart sank. I hadn't even eaten dinner yet these two were eating out.
Chen Zhenzhen snorted coldly, turned her head and ignored Zhao Xingjia, indicating that she was still angry.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xingjia took the remaining half of the bun from her hand and ate it all in a few bites. She was so angry that she cried and beat Zhao Xingjia. Seeing that Zhao Xingjia's eyes were still on the bun in Zhao Yang's hand, she quickly protected her son.
Zhao Xingjia also withdrew his gaze, he was really hungry.
But the current issues still need to be resolved.
"Take out the 100 yuan you brought as a dowry. I'll give it to Mom shortly. Otherwise, if she goes to work and makes a scene tomorrow, I'll lose my job."
Chen Zhenzhen shook her head: "I don't have one."
"How could there not be?"
Zhao Xingjia grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard, somewhat out of control.
Chen Zhenzhen lowered her head in guilt. She'd been told she'd get a 100 yuan dowry, but her mother hadn't actually given her the money. She'd just explained it to others. "I lost the money."
"Do you think I'm stupid? If you don't want to take out the money, just tell me. I won't give you any more money from now on."
Seeing Zhao Xingjia's serious expression, Chen Zhenzhen panicked and had to tell the truth.
"My parents didn't give me any money at all. I didn't lie to you."
"Then you always say that your parents love you and gave you a dowry, and never let you work at your parents' house. They asked me to buy this and that for your family, and you never come home empty-handed. Many of the packages for my eldest brother were also sent directly to your Chen family.
I don't care. You must go back to the Chen family and ask for 100 yuan. Otherwise, tomorrow morning I will go to your father's workshop and make trouble. I will see if your father still has the face to go back to work."
Chen Zhenzhen was forced to return to Chen's home, and Chen's father scolded her as soon as he saw her.
"You're such a jinx! You're married, but you still come home every day and tear the family apart. What are you even doing here?"
Although Chen's mother and Chen Baoshun were sentenced to short terms for attempted murder, he could not raise his head in the factory because of this incident. Chen Baozhu, who was once a popular figure, now has no one coming to inquire about her marriage.
Chen Baozhu couldn't marry into a good family, and she was in a bad mood at home. She also had a sour face when she saw Chen Zhenzhen.
"Isn't it all for my family? When I was bringing things home, why didn't you mind me going home? Now you have to give me a hundred dollars.
Otherwise, Zhao Xingjia will come to your factory tomorrow to make trouble, saying that you took your son-in-law's things, ate his flesh and blood, and cheated on him. You promised a dowry of 100 yuan but didn't give it. This is what he just told me."
Father Chen's face was dark. "How could I have such an incompetent daughter like you? You can't even handle your own man. I'm not afraid. Let him make trouble tomorrow. Big brother, second brother, block Zhao Xingjia at the factory gate tomorrow morning. If you see him, just drag him out and beat him up. I don't believe he won't be afraid of beatings."
Chen Zhenzhen stomped her feet in anger: "I'm your daughter. You treat Zhao Xingjia like this. Have you ever considered how I will live in the future?"
"Little sister, why don't you run away quickly? Look at how cold and heartless Dad is. In the future, you will either be sold by him or you will have to support the family all the time. If you stop, he will turn against you."
Father Chen raised his leg and kicked Chen Zhenzhen: "You are trying to sow discord between me and your little sister. The eldest and second sons, kick her out."
Chen Lao Da and Chen Lao Er carried Chen Zhen Zhen out, persuaded her for a long time, gave her ten yuan each, and let her go. They went home and told Chen's father about the situation. What if my sister and brother-in-law had a better life in the future? Don't be so cruel.
Father Chen saw everything. He knew everything about what had been going on in Chen Zhenzhen's in-laws' family recently. A divorced middle-aged couple would never remarry.
It would be hard for Chen Zhenzhen to turn things around if her parents-in-law were not on the same page. If Zhao Youcai married someone else, it would be strange for Chen Zhenzhen and Zhao Xingjia to have a good life.
Chen Zhenzhen covered her stomach and returned to Zhao's house with 20 yuan.
"Second sister-in-law, why is there blood on your pants?"
"Maybe it's my period. Why is my stomach hurting so much? What day is it today?"
She had been living in dire straits recently and had even forgotten to check the date.
Zhang Zhaodi said angrily: "Number 21."
Chen Zhenzhen realized it later and screamed, "No way, she usually comes on the 18th, and now it's the 21st."
She quickly took Zhao Xingjia to the hospital.
