Chapter 29 The Fratricidal Strife of a Scumbag Family
The only downside is that 1000 is a bit low; it would be better if it were more…
So, Old Mrs. Zheng mustered her courage and said, "The child support is too little. Especially raising a mentally challenged person is much harder than raising a normal child, it should be at least 3,000."
Zhang Mo began to seriously bargain with her: "1,000 yuan is already a lot. If you don't believe me, you can go and see those court judgments, or you can ask Officer Zhao. In your area, there are plenty of cases where it's 500 or 600 yuan."
Zheng Hongming looked at his own mother incredulously and roared, "Are you senile?! You just listen to whatever she says?!"
Grandma Zheng was startled by his sudden roar and stammered, not daring to make a sound.
Zheng Hongming glared at Zhang Mo with a gloomy expression, then pointed his smoky, yellowed finger at Ye Fangyu: "What do you mean? That's her son, and you want me to raise him?"
Zhang Mo said matter-of-factly, "My cousin is so young and beautiful, and highly educated. She will definitely get married and start a family in the future. It would be inconvenient for her to have a child like this. Since your family wants it so much, then we will give it to you."
Zheng Hongming asked menacingly, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill this child?"
Officer Zhao shouted sternly, "What did you say?!" To talk about murder in front of the police is simply outrageous!
Zheng Hongming was startled by the policewoman's shout and instinctively shrank his neck.
Zhang Mo: "As you can see, the whole country is watching your family. If anything happens to this child, the first thing they'll do is arrest your whole family. We're completely at ease."
Besides, I'm just doing what your family wants, for your own good. Don't take my kindness for granted.
Zheng Hongming retorted, "Kindness?! Kindness my foot! You clearly just dumped this kid on us because he's mentally unstable! Let me tell you, even if our family line ends, we would never raise a fool!!!"
Then, in the next instant, a large slap landed squarely on his face!
"You little brat! What nonsense are you spouting!" To everyone's surprise, the strongest reaction to Zheng Hongming's shameless words came from Grandpa Zheng. The old man slapped his eldest son hard across the face. "I've raised two sons in my life, and you dare to make me childless! What's wrong with letting you raise a child?! This is your own brother's child! My own grandson! The last bloodline of the Zheng family!!!"
Zheng Hongming, having been slapped hard, was instantly enraged and shoved his father, yelling, "What does Zheng Hongliang's son have to do with me! You two old geezers have always favored him since he was a child! How much did you contribute to my wedding? How much did you contribute to his? Now that his son is mentally challenged, you want me to take over? I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"
When Grandpa Zheng saw that his own son dared to push him, he felt that this was outrageous and cursed, "Your brother is more successful than you, so what? He married a richer woman and gave birth to a son, unlike you who has only had a daughter all these years and is still in debt!"
Zheng Hongming's eyes turned red with anger, and he immediately slapped his own father across the face without holding back: "If you hadn't always looked down on me, would I have been able to go out and gamble?"
With a resounding slap, Grandpa Zheng was thrown to the ground. The old man's already frail spine slammed heavily against the ground, causing the veins on his neck to bulge in pain.
Aunt Zheng was stunned. She burst into tears, threw herself at her son, and scratched and hit him, saying, "You heartless bastard, this is your own father!"
Zheng Hongming spat with a ferocious expression, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to continue his attack: "That old geezer is almost in his grave, and he still dares to scheme against me. I'll beat him up."
Officer Zhao pulled out his baton and shouted sternly, "Stop!"
The scene descended into chaos once again.
Watching the people she hated slaughter each other, Ye Fangyu felt a surge of both immense pleasure and overwhelming sorrow. She only regretted not listening to her family, for being blind to choose such a family. And for making her brothers so angry back then...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her gaze to her older brother beside her—
Then I saw the older brother excitedly raise his phone and point it at the family of three who were fighting.
The interface he opened was a video conference, and the participants were her second brother, third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother.
The chat area is scrolling wildly:
【6666】
Isn't this more exciting than a boxing match?
[Make him pay off his medical insurance card!]
【gogogo】
The fundamental difference between humans and animals lies in the making and use of tools. So why not use a brick?
Ye Fangyu: "..."
Okay, at least the brothers seem pretty happy right now.
.
As it turns out, you can't fight city hall, and a father can't beat his son.
Even though Officer Zhao had stopped Zheng Hongming halfway through, the moment the handcuffs were taken out, she was immediately accused of meddling and warned by the two elderly people not to hurt their precious son.
Officer Zhao: "......"
It's no wonder that police officers hate handling domestic violence cases; there are just too many mentally unstable victims who, after being assaulted, end up protecting their abusers.
If you interfere too much, you might even get complaints.
Officer Zhao then released Zheng Hongming with a speechless expression.
Zheng Hongming immediately seized the opportunity to kick the old man twice more, telling him to be smarter and that he was in charge of the family now!
Then he told Brother Ye that as long as they paid off Xiao Hao's expenses for the past few months, they could take Xiao Hao away.
Zhang Mo and Brother Ye exchanged a quick glance, and Zhang Mo said coolly, "Why should our Ye family raise your Zheng family's child?"
Zheng Hongming: "What do you mean by 'a child of the Zheng family'? Doesn't this child have the blood of your Ye family in his veins?!"
Zhang Mo said leisurely, "Well, it's not actually surnamed Ye after all."
Now Zheng Hongming finally understood: "What if this child changes his surname to Ye starting today!" He glared fiercely at Brother Ye, "200,000 yuan! Give me 200,000 yuan, and I'll have my parents cooperate with the child to change his surname right now. From this day forward, this child will be completely cut off from the Zheng family!"
For the Ye family, 200,000 yuan was a drop in the ocean. However, adhering to the principle of playing the part to the end, Brother Ye still pretended to bargain with him for a while, and finally settled on 130,000 yuan.
If Xiao Hao were still a normal child, Zheng Hongming would never have asked for a mere 200,000 yuan. With his outrageous personality, he would have dared to ask for 10 million yuan.
It's because Xiao Hao is behaving abnormally. Zheng Hongming himself wouldn't want a child like that, and he thinks no one else in the world would want a child like that either. That's why he's willing to "sell" the child at a discount.
