Fortunately, Zheng Shuyang still had a bit of common sense and did not borrow money. The interest rate was high, and if he could not pay it back, the money would keep growing. If the borrowing was discovered by the Zheng family's competitors, it would inevitably implicate his parents.
The Zheng family is in a troubled time right now, so it is really not advisable to cause trouble.
"Uncle and aunt, let me think about it. If it really doesn't work, take out the money in my passbook first. It's important to treat Shimei's illness. Her health cannot be delayed. I'll find a way to get the rest of the money."
Mother Yu frowned in displeasure. It made no sense to spit out the money that was already in her mouth. She had already taken out the money in the passbook and hid it in a secret compartment at home so that she could marry her son off with a rich wife in the future. "How can that be possible? Ahem, I mean that money has already been used to pay for medical expenses."
Seeing that he didn't fall into the trap, Yu Shimei could only continue to pretend to be weak, "I'm unlucky. Shuyang, your parents don't like me. They don't even let me eat a bite of your meat. It seems that we are not destined to be together. Let's separate..."
Yu's father was furious. "What? The Zheng family is so stingy?"
Yu Shimei sobbed and did not forget to sow discord between Zheng Shuyang and the Zheng family. "Three large buckets of seafood and a kitchen full of rice, meat, fruits and vegetables. Shuyang originally wanted to take them home to honor his parents, but unfortunately he was rejected by his parents and sister. I don't understand. Knowing that our family is almost starving to death, the Zheng family would rather waste so much food than give it away, just because Shuyang and I are good friends. In their eyes, is Shuyang really their own son?"
Upon hearing this, the greed in Yu's father and mother's eyes could hardly be concealed. "Why do you despise our Yu family? Do you really consider us as your relatives? Shuyang, uncle is a straightforward person. I just want to ask you one question, do you want to marry my daughter?"
Zheng Shuyang was naturally willing. It had been his regret for many years that he had not been able to have a happy relationship with his first love. Although Yang Yunchu was a good person, he always felt that something was missing, so the moment Yu Shimei came back, he left his partner without hesitation and chose to renew his relationship with Yu Shimei.
Mother Yu rolled her eyes and got straight to the point with him, "Shuyang, I know you are a good person, but you have no money, so how about you persuade your sister to marry into our Yu family and make the relationship closer? Anyway, your Shican and Zeng Jiliang have already broken off the engagement, and Hu Zhiming's family background is complicated. Even his biological father doesn't want him. How can a man without a father and only a mother from the countryside be qualified to be your brother-in-law?"
"Although my Yu family is not wealthy, at least we are respectable city dwellers. Moreover, I am a very kind person and will never mistreat your sister. As long as your sister marries my son and becomes sister-in-law to my daughter, our two families will become like one family and resolve our grievances. Isn't that better?"
This idea has been in her mind for a long time. She has long been fed up with the Zheng family's arrogant attitude and has always fantasized about stepping on them. Besides, the Zheng family is indeed a wealthy family. If her son marries Zheng Shican, won't the Zheng family's property belong to the Yu family?
Zheng Shuyang pondered for a moment and actually felt that Yu's mother's suggestion was excellent. Hu Zhiming was a good person, but unfortunately he could not afford to support Shican and his status was not worthy of the Zheng family. It was heard that Hu's father had recently arranged a new partner for him and did not acknowledge his relationship with the Zheng family. It was considered that Hu's father was self-aware.
At the moment, Yu Shimei’s brother is indeed a candidate. He doesn’t know much about his future brother-in-law, but like sister, like brother. Not having a job is not a problem. As long as his sister marries him, his parents will love his brother-in-law and will definitely help arrange a job for him, just like Zeng Jiliang did back then.
The most urgent task is to settle Shimei's medical expenses. There is no other choice but to sneak back home.
Yu's father threatened in person, "As long as you pay 50,000, I will agree to your marriage with my daughter. Otherwise, forget it. We will take our daughter away and never let you find her, so that your parents won't bully Shimei."
Zheng Shuyang had no choice but to promise him, "Uncle, please give me some time. My family has money, and I will find a way to give it to you."
Xia Tingyue and Zheng Zeqian knew that the second brother was absurd, but they still held a glimmer of hope for him. Little did they know that it was because of their soft-heartedness that they almost ruined the entire Zheng family.
On the other hand, Zheng Shican’s elder brother Zheng Nanchi received a call from home. After learning about the bad things his second brother had done, he asked his superiors for a long vacation to go home.
This trip home is not only to solve the Zheng family's predicament, but also to bring his future daughter-in-law to join the army.
Zheng Shican was busy brainwashing Yang Yunchu and had no idea that he had been sold out by his second brother and his marriage was hastily decided.
After the picnic, Yang Yunchu went back to work with a lot on his mind. Wanwan said that Zheng Shuyang was in love. In fact, she was also in love. Even though she was bullied and misunderstood by Zheng Shuyang and Yu Shimei, she still foolishly hoped that he would change his mind.
"Wanwan, do you think Sister Yunchu will come to her senses? My eldest brother is already on his way back. I wonder how Brother Zhiming is doing now?"
Gu Wanwan knew what was going on, and said calmly, "Not so fast. Instead of worrying about others, you should worry about yourself. Your brother has brought you a bad romance."
As soon as the two returned to Zheng's house, Zheng Shican quickly reminded his parents to hide the valuables in the passbook to prevent them from being stolen by a thief in the house.
When the Zheng couple heard Gu Wanwan's reminder, they decisively hid the passbooks and other things in the basement of the utility room, and even took away the watches and radios. The bicycles were locked to the iron railings with chains, so they could not be ridden away unless they were disassembled.
As for the kitchen, the entire door was locked and the key was hung around Zheng Shican's neck.
That night, when it was late and everyone was asleep, Zheng Shuyang sneaked back home and fumbled around the living room, feeling like something was missing. He then went to open the kitchen door, but found it was locked. He had to tiptoe upstairs to look for the key. He first went to his parents' room, groping in the dark, opened the drawer and reached in, but found no money or bills.
While observing his parents, he opened the closet and searched, but still found nothing. "How could it be gone? Where is my parents' watch? Did Zheng Shican take it away?"
The moment he quietly left the room, the Zheng couple opened their eyes at the same time, with anger and disappointment in each other's eyes. If it weren't for Wanwan's reminder, the Zheng family would have become penniless overnight.
The tens of thousands of yuan in the passbook all went to the Yu family. Considering the second son's infatuation with Yu Shimei, there is an 80% chance that he would not leave even a penny to the Zheng family.
It's really chilling.
Zheng Shuyang turned and went to Zheng Shican's room. Zheng Shican always kept Wanwan's reminder in mind. He was very excited at the moment. When he heard the noise outside the door, he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
With the faint moonlight outside the window, Zheng Shuyang discovered that there were fewer things in Zheng Shican's room than in his parents' room. He searched carefully but couldn't find any money until he found the key hanging around Zheng Shican's neck.
"So it's here. Mom, Dad, sister, don't blame me. For the happiness of Shimei and me..."
