Chapter 712 It can’t be such a coincidence
Tian Caihong thought Zhang Defu was thinking about Zhang Qiuye, so she nodded and said, "Qiuye, your father is right. You will eventually get married. We are your parents, and we are the ones who care about you the most.
When you get married again, we, your parents, will have to give you some advice."
Zhang Qiuye was extremely upset, thinking to himself, you have already cheated me once, how can I let you cheat me again.
If you want to interfere in my marriage again, it’s impossible.
But at this moment, she only wanted to get away quickly, so she had to bite the bullet and say something against her will, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. I know that in this world, you are the people who care about me the most."
"You are wrong, Zhang Qiuye. You are totally wrong. You think I am a fool who can be fooled!
I won’t talk to you about any big principles today. There’s no need to waste my time.
You have two paths to choose from: one is to give me two hundred taels of silver, and the other is to decide your marriage. I have the final say.
I will marry you to whoever can offer a betrothal gift of two hundred taels of silver.
This is not your first time getting married. Since the family can offer a betrothal gift of 200 taels of silver, they probably live a good life.
but?
I only care about money, not people, nor how many concubines he has."
"you?"
Zhang Qiuye was so angry that his breathing became rapid, his face flushed, and he looked at Tian Caihong with trembling hands, "Mom, please save me?"
"Oh, kid, your dad is right!
A family that can offer two hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift might live a better life than the Li family.
Let me think, how much was the betrothal gift when the Li family married you?
Zhang Qiuye looked at Tian Caihong who was counting on her fingers while doing the accounts, and then glanced at Zhang Defu who looked fierce. He suddenly understood in his heart that they only cared about money after all.
"Okay, I'll give you two hundred taels of silver, but I don't have that much silver on me right now.
Can I write you an IOU?"
"No, I only care about money now, nothing else matters."
In fact, it was not Zhang Defu's fault that his request was excessive, but the last time that the rich man Li sent officials to his house to ask for the land deed, it left a psychological trauma on Zhang Defu.
After all, Zhang Qiuye still lives in Li's house. He is worried that if Zhang Qiuye cries in front of the rich man Li, the rich man will have someone take the IOU away, and then all his work will be in vain.
Zhang Defu gestured to Tian Caihong, "Go up and search her."
Tian Caihong did not hesitate at all and attacked Zhang Qiuye.
"Boss, look."
Tian Caihong found a purse on Zhang Qiuye, and the mother and daughter struggled for it for a long time, but Zhang Qiuye was eventually defeated by Tian Caihong.
Zhang Defu took the purse, opened it and took a closer look. Inside were a few taels of silver and a familiar land deed.
"I told you, back then, when Mr. Li sent the officials to his house to ask for the land deed, it was really you who was behind it.
Tian Caihong, come and see this, this is the good girl you raised."
"Boss, there can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"You're still arguing with her. Take a look at this deed. Are there any marks left by you and me?"
Tian Caihong picked up the deed and looked at it carefully, "It really is!
Zhang Qiuye, I'm your biological mother! How can you be so cruel?
When the police came to our house, they almost killed me and your father!"
Even Zhang Dongsheng, who had been standing by and watching, was confused. Who among the three of them was the good guy and who was the bad guy?
Forget it, he can’t control it anymore, so he might as well hide!
Before Zhang Dongsheng could even take a step, he heard Zhang Defu shouting, "Zhang Dongsheng, remember what happened today.
This is what your good sister did. From now on, even after your mother and I are buried, you should not interfere in her affairs anymore."
Tian Caihong also said, "Zhang Dongsheng, I originally wanted to leave those lands for you to marry a wife, but I didn't expect your sister to be so cruel.
Do you think the Li family needs this little piece of land?
But in the eyes of people like us from small families, these lands are our lifeline!
If we have eight acres of land, we will marry a different wife than if we have thirty acres of land!"
Zhang Qiuye saw that he couldn't leave for a while, and stamped his feet in anger, "What are you talking about?
Why can’t I understand? "
"Why are you pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth?
Zhang Qiuye, you have really changed, changed..."
Zhang Qiuye was so angry that he picked up the broken porcelain pieces and put them on his neck. "I'm asking you, are you going to let me go or not?"
Zhang Defu nodded and said, "Go ahead! I have the land deed in my hand. If you want it, you can exchange it for two hundred taels of silver.
If you don’t want it, the title deed belongs to me.”
Zhang Qiuye said viciously, "Now these lands are managed by the people in the Li Mansion for me. Even if we collect the grain, it will not reach you.
I think you should just give up on this idea!"
"It's okay, we can wait.
Zhang Qiuye, you can rely on the Li family this year, but can you still do so next year?
Once you have completely left the Li Mansion, we will take the land deed and take it back."
"You dare?"
"Why wouldn't I dare? Zhang Qiuye, don't forget that my daughter, Zhang Juexia, is now the wife of a successful candidate."
"Whether she recognizes you or not is another matter."
Zhang Defu was enraged by Zhang Qiuye's words and slapped her in the face, "This is all thanks to you.
If you hadn't whispered sweet nothings in my ear every day, how could I have ignored my own daughter?
I don't want to lose face anymore, so I'll go and beg her. Once she helps me get the land back, I'll give her ten acres of land as compensation.
Even so, I still have ten acres of land, which is better than having nothing."
Zhang Defu used all his strength to slap Zhang Qiuye, who rolled over on the ground. Zhang Dongsheng, who was listening at the side, was shocked.
Zhang Qiuye struggled on the ground, weakly shouting, "Dongsheng, help me up."
Zhang Dongsheng, who was determined to escape, used all his strength to help Zhang Qiuye up. "Why are you doing this? I really don't understand. Which is more important, money or your life?"
Zhang Qiuye's eyes were filled with tears, "Dongsheng, you are still young, you don't understand!"
"Well, I don't understand anything, but I do know that if you get beaten you have to run away."
Zhang Qiuye was stunned for a moment, "You can keep this deed here. Come back to me someday and exchange it for two hundred taels of silver.
Ultimately, it's all my fault. It was not easy for you to raise me. Now that I have some money, I should give you some as a thank you."
"If you had known the situation earlier, I wouldn't have to do it. Ouch, my hands hurt so much.
Tian Caihong, please rub it for me."
Tian Caihong quickly stepped forward to help Zhang Defu rub his hands. Zhang Defu looked at Zhang Qiuye who was about to step out of the door and said loudly, "Remember what you said, but I don't trust you that much now.
Come back some other day with the money. Remember, don't resort to those crooked methods anymore. You have to think about your future."
