Chapter 149 My Dad Will Beat Me to Death
"What should I do now? If I can't pay the rent, the landlord will take back my shop." Gu Bei was at a loss.
He had no suspicion at all that Zhang Dahua was cheating him and not giving him the money.
It was really because Zhang Dahua was used to him always meeting his requests.
Li Yingdi on the side was also panicked: "Boss, what should we do?" She had been subsidizing her parents' home a lot this year thanks to her shop.
Also because she often sent food, drinks and money to her parents' home, her status in her parents' home improved a lot.
Now when she goes back to her parents' home, both her parents and her younger siblings welcome her with a smile, and her parents will listen to her opinions on some matters.
If the shop went bankrupt, how would she take her things back to her parents' home? Li Yingdi didn't want to go back to the days of being beaten and scolded.
"What should I do? What should I do? I know what to do. You took all the money I earned back to my parents' home.
Now that you have no money to pay the rent, the shop will close. I don’t care. Go back to your parents’ house and get the money back.” Gu Bei shouted impatiently.
"What? You took all the silver back to your parents' home? Did I tell you that? Business is usually good, how come you only saved ten taels of silver in a year?
You spendthrift woman, go and get the money back for me right now.
My son is so unlucky to marry you.
You should quickly return the money, otherwise, I will let my son divorce you. " Zhang Dahua immediately started cursing when she heard that her son's money had been taken back to her parents' home by Li Yingdi.
"I...it's not that I don't want to ask for it. The money has been spent a long time ago. My brother even borrowed money to get married last year." Li Yingdi was also a little panicked. She knew how much Gu Bei cared about this shop.
If the shop cannot be opened because of the inability to pay the rent, Gu Bei will definitely blame her.
"I don't care, you have to go and get the money back. Otherwise, you can go back to your parents' home. My family can't afford a traitor like you." Zhang Dahua was firm.
Li Yingdi was not afraid of Zhang Dahahua. They had already separated. Although Zhang Dahahua was her mother-in-law, she had no control over her.
What she was afraid of was Gu Bei, even though Gu Bei was usually very nice to her and liked her.
But that's because his own interests are not involved.
Li Yingdi thought he knew Gu Bei quite well. He was a selfish person.
In his heart, his parents, wife and children are not as important as himself.
She also knew that if she hadn't taken all the money back to her parents' home, they wouldn't have been short of money to pay the rent.
But I've already given it, it's too late to regret now.
Li Yingdi ignored Zhang Dahua and looked at Gu Bei pitifully and tearfully: "Boss, I... I don't know. If I knew, I would definitely not do that.
You also know my family situation. If I go back to ask for money, my father will beat me to death."
She knew that Gu Bei liked this expression of hers the most.
Sure enough, Gu Bei softened his heart when he saw her like this.
"Oh, that's enough. I'll think of another way. Forget it this time. No matter what, you can't take all the money back to your parents' home in the future.
If it happens again, you can go back to your parents' home. I can't afford you." Gu Bei said.
It’s not that Gu Bei forgave Li Yingdi so easily.
Moreover, the two of them had already had a quarrel at home. Li Yingdi had already humbled himself and coaxed him into peace.
However, Gu Bei had also made up his mind that he would keep all the money from the shop and only give it to Li Yingdi for household expenses every month.
"Second brother, are we just going to let it go like this? What about the shop?" Zhang Dahua was unwilling to let Li Yingdi go.
"What else can we do? Yaozu is still so young, we can't really divorce Yingdi and leave Yaozu without a mother, right?
Besides, you know the situation at my father-in-law's house. If you want to take the money out of their pockets, it's impossible." Gu Bei had also thought about asking his father-in-law to return the money.
But he also knew that it was impossible. In fact, it was also his fault. In order to save himself the trouble, Li Yingdi was in charge of collecting money and selling goods in the shop.
He was relieved, but he forgot that Yingdi was still thinking about her mother's family.
He asked why every time he went to his father-in-law's house, his father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law were so warm to him.
It turns out that I had to bring money every time I went to Li Ying's place.
Of course, it would be a lie to say that Gu Bei knew nothing about it. Gu Bei had some idea in his mind, but he just didn't expect Li Yingdi to take all the money back home.
To be honest, he also enjoyed the feeling of being admired by his father-in-law and his family. Otherwise, he would have stopped it long ago.
It’s too late to say anything now, let’s think about how to get the money.
Zhang Dahua was speechless after hearing what Gu Bei said.
It was indeed easy to divorce Li Yingdi, but what about his eldest grandson? He couldn't be left without a mother at such a young age, could he?
Besides, if he divorces Li Yingdi, Gu Bei will have to marry another wife. You can't let him remain single, right?
It costs money to marry another wife. What if the new wife is not good to her eldest grandson?
Forget it, the second brother is right, Li Yingdi still can’t divorce.
When Li Ying saw the expressions of Gu Bei and Zhang Dahua, she knew that she had passed the test.
But now she didn't dare to show her head, so she just huddled in the corner with her son in her arms, keeping her head down and keeping silent.
"Mom, how much money is left at home?" Gu Bei thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who to borrow money from.
I'm afraid in the end I can only rely on my parents.
"It's only six taels of silver. Your father said he would save it for Gu Xiang's dowry." Zhang Dahua said casually.
"Why is it only six taels? Mom, are you not telling me the truth? Mom, I really need it urgently now.
Give me the silver first, and I'll return it to you when I recover." Gu Yan got anxious when he heard that there were only six taels.
"That's really all, didn't I tell you?
Last year, the fourth son got married and spent all the family savings.
As for your shop, your father borrowed forty taels of silver from your second uncle.
You said you would return the money, but we haven't seen a penny from you this year.
There was no other way. Your father had to hunt desperately to repay your second uncle ten taels of silver. Now he still has thirty taels to pay back." Zhang Dahua was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke.
He had spoken nicely at first, coaxing them into lending money to the second brother to open a shop, and saying that he would bring the money he earned to exchange for cash.
He also said that he would let them enjoy the good life together in the future.
The result? They didn't see a cent of the money, let alone enjoy it. They still had to carefully calculate and pay their debts every day.
Li Ying, on the other hand, benefited from her mother's family and lived a good life.
Now that I can’t pay the rent for the shop, I remember that the old couple came.
The more Zhang Dahua thought about it, the angrier and more disappointed she became. She couldn't help but wonder: Are they wrong to be so partial to the second child?
The second child doesn't seem filial at all."
