Wow! Did her dad suddenly wake up?
Zhang Wenyu looked at her father in surprise.
Old Mrs. Zhang was also stunned by what Zhang's father said. She couldn't believe that such shameless words would come from the honest and hardworking Zhang Hao.
"You, you, you actually gave the house and car to this woman? How could you be so cruel? You would rather give them than give them to your eldest brother! You are a prodigal son! You gave all your money to others, and now that you have no money, you target your eldest brother's family? Your eldest brother's family must be in such a difficult situation. Now that you have money, you don't even help them, and you even dare to ask your eldest brother for money? You are going to kill your eldest brother and me! Zhang Hao, I'm telling you, you must get the house and car back today, and give them all to your eldest brother, otherwise, don't even think about recognizing me as your mother!"
When Mrs. Zhang heard that even the house was given away, she was immediately heartbroken. She didn't bother to beat around the bush and directly stated her ultimate goal.
Zhang Hua's face darkened. He was really worried that this stubborn man would give the house to his wife and children. If he really gave it away, it would be difficult for him to get the house back. He no longer concealed his true face and said to Zhang Hao.
"Second brother, you gave all the family assets to your sister-in-law. Doesn't that mean you'll be dependent on your wife and children? Aren't you a grown man? Don't you think it's shameful! Mom is right. Listen to her and leave the house, car, and savings with me. I'll keep them for you. Whenever you need them, just ask me. You can live in the house first. We're brothers. Even if we break bones, we're still connected. It's better to be reliable than a woman who might divorce you at any time!"
Father Zhang looked at Zhang Hua with disdain.
"Brother, your whole family has been supported by your younger brother for so many years and you haven't seen it ashamed. Then why should I be ashamed to rely on my wife and children for support? Besides, the little things my family has now are also earned by my wife and children. Why should I worry about leaving them in their names? On the contrary, if you really listen to our mother and give it to you, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and there will be no return!"
Zhang Hua was furious.
"Zhang Hao! What do you mean by this? I have a job and a salary. When did my family ever rely on you for support? The money Mom asked you for is for her retirement. You agreed to it yourself. How can you put all this on me now? Besides, our proposal is for your own good. We're afraid that someone will scheme against you and drain your family fortune, so we came up with this idea. Don't you understand how hard Mom and I work? Are you really going to disown Mom for such a small amount of money?!"
Old Mrs. Zhang followed up.
"That's right! The money you gave me is for me, my retirement money! Your sister-in-law quit her job to take care of me, and your brother works hard every day to make money for this family. Now you want to take credit for your brother's work just by talking? Also, the house and car are what I want, they have nothing to do with your brother. Don't you say you are filial? Then just give me the house. At my age, I want to enjoy my life and live in a big house. What's wrong with that?"
Zhang Wenyu grabbed Zhang Jingzhi, whose face was red and neck was thick with anger because of Old Lady Zhang, and said with a smile.
"Grandma, if you want to live in a big house, that's fine. Just move in with us! We can swap our retirement plans. You can live with me, and my uncle's family will transfer your retirement money to my dad's account every month, just like we did before. This way, my aunt can find a job, my uncle won't have to support the family alone, and grandma can live in a big house. Everyone can get what they want. Grandma, don't you think this is a good idea?"
"Bullshit! We agreed that I would live with your uncle and your family would pay for it, and now you're trying to cheat me out of it!? Stop giving me such bad advice, I'm going to live with your uncle and his family!"
Of course, Mrs. Zhang was unwilling. She was not stupid, and Zhang Hao's family did not like her. There were also several bodyguards at home. If she wanted to help her eldest son's family, it would be inconvenient.
Zhang Wenyu sighed and said with pretended regret.
"Then there's nothing we can do. You don't want to separate from your great uncle's family, and we can't force you to move here, right? Why don't you ask your great uncle to work hard and buy a bigger house? Over the years, if my great uncle's family had worked hard, they could have bought a better house too, and you would have been able to live better and enjoy a better life long ago. Why would you still be thinking about your niece's and granddaughter's things like you do now?"
Old Mrs. Zhang jumped up and cursed.
"What nonsense are you talking about! What's your uncle's business? Why are you, a little girl, talking nonsense here? Your uncle's family doesn't have a big house, so why don't you take the initiative to give this house to your uncle and his family?! I said you are a cruel girl. You eat and drink well while watching me and my uncle's family suffer! You are just like your father and mother, without conscience!"
Father Zhang had a blank expression on his face and looked at Old Mrs. Zhang with a serious gaze.
"Mom, since my family is all heartless and unfilial, then we don't need to give you this pension. You can't let us bear the bad reputation and still ask us to pay money and work, right?"
Old Mrs. Zhang became anxious, grabbed Zhang's father's arm, and spoke viciously.
"Why not? You must give it to me! And not a penny less! If you dare not give it to me, I will sue you in court and have the police arrest your entire family and put you in jail!"
Father Zhang looked at Old Mrs. Zhang with disappointment in his eyes.
He never dared to resist his mother, afraid of seeing her sad face. He thought that as long as he obeyed her every command and tried his best to be filial, his mother would be less partial and more considerate of him. But they treated him like a sucker, and even threatened to call the police and arrest his entire family if he gave them less!
"hehe."
Father Zhang chuckled.
He used to be terrified of facing the fact that his mother didn't love him, but now he was suddenly relieved. Perhaps some people are born with a weak bond with their parents. He had done his best to maintain his relationship with his parents, and now he accepted the result.
Old Mrs. Zhang was frightened by Zhang's father's laughter. She shuddered when she looked into Zhang's father's eyes. She also thought that Zhang's father was playing tricks and wanted to take the opportunity to ignore the matter of giving the money.
"If you don't want to be embarrassed in court, then pay up quickly! Otherwise, if this gets out of hand and everyone knows that you're rich but don't support your own mother, I don't think you and your wife will even be able to leave the house!"
Father Zhang looked at Old Lady Zhang calmly, and even took the initiative to show her the way.
"Then go ahead and sue me. Go straight down this road, turn left, and the courthouse is two blocks away. You'd better go now; they might not even be closed yet. I've already resigned, so the worst that can happen is I'll just leave the house. If the court orders me to provide for your retirement, I'll do it. But as an unemployed vagrant, I definitely don't have any money. You might as well learn from my eldest brother. I'll live in his house from now on, so I can serve you every day."
