Chapter 136 He Said This Marriage Is Not Over

The stone house suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Zhai Ximo lowered his eyes and stared at the tea leaves floating in the enamel pot. He blew on them and drank the tea in silence. This topic was too sensitive. If he got it wrong, it would be his son-in-law's fault. If he got it right, it would all be glorious for the Wang family.

"Auntie, what you mean is that I should also contribute some money to support Zonghao's marriage?" Wang Ziru glanced calmly at the faces of the family members in the stone house and asked.

Seeing this, Chen Pingping's mother thought that the son-in-law of the Wang family would definitely be able to contribute some money, and she immediately smiled happily, "Zi Ru has seen the world, and you understand what your aunt said. Then go back and find some money and give it to your father. If you don't go buy a pig, I'm afraid that neither of us will be able to eat meat at the banquet."

Wang Ziru sneered, with obvious sarcasm: "So according to what Auntie said, is this money lent to Zong Hao or to my dad?"

The middle-aged woman sitting next to him suddenly froze with a smile on her face.

"Auntie, you've seen it too. My brother has been married for ten years and hasn't split up yet. But this time it's Zonghao who's getting married, so it has nothing to do with him."

After a pause, Wang Ziru met Chen Pingping's mother's face which was distorted by the haze, and smiled faintly, "It's impossible for my brother and sister-in-law to pay back the money owed by Zonghao for his wedding, right?"

"Niece Ziru, you are being too polite." Pingping's father and Wang Dongsheng sat facing each other at the square table. He took off his cigarette bag and sneered, "We are all eating from the same pot. What do you mean it has nothing to do with your brother and sister-in-law?"

After hearing what the sister said so clearly, the eldest couple, Wang Zongming and Li Hui, who had originally had high hopes for the sister and her husband, couldn't help but start to do the math in their hearts.

"Yeah! Zonghao borrowed money for the wedding and owed debts. Why should their boss help pay off the debts?"

"The Chen couple are determined to take down the boss of the Wang family, right?"

The couple exchanged glances quickly as everyone was looking at each other. Wang Zongming also understood that his sister was thinking about them and was handling the matter fairly and impartially, and was not biased towards Wang Zonghao, the youngest son of the Wang family.

Suddenly, Li Hui cast an admiring look at her sister-in-law.

If the sister-in-law hadn't come today, I'm afraid their eldest brother's family would have suffered and helped Zonghao pay off his debts in vain.

Helping Zong Hao means helping the Chen family pay off their debts!

Of course Wang Dongsheng understood what the woman meant and his face looked very ugly. He didn't expect his daughter to speak so bluntly and cruelly in front of her in-laws.

He thought for a moment and said, "Bao'er's mother, if you are short of money, just pretend that nothing happened. We will ask other relatives to help us out in the next few days..."

"Ah, you really don't consider the situation. Your daughter has already promised to give you money." Pingping's mother stiffened her neck and scolded Wang Dongsheng. Then she pretended to be a friendly person and patted Wang Ziru on the shoulder. "Auntie, I think what you said makes sense, but your parents and eldest brother haven't separated yet. The debts owed by the family should be paid by the whole family! Go ask the village, which family is not like this?"

"Brother, sister-in-law, what do you think? Are you willing to pay off the marriage debt for Zong Hao?" Wang Ziru looked past Pingping's mother's heartless face and wished she could treat the eldest and his wife of the Wang family as her daughter's blood bags for free.

The focus is directly placed on the brother who has always been weak and easy to bully.

Originally, Wang Zongming had not thought of this level, but after the girl's words enlightened him, he woke up as if from a dream.

In front of his parents, he changed his previous weak and honest attitude, "Sister is right! During this period of time, in order to arrange Zonghao's wedding, the money he borrowed must be repaid by himself."

"Zongming!"

Wang Dongsheng never expected that his eldest son was also instigated by his daughter and could actually say such words.

Lin Xiuying, who was standing nearby, frowned and was about to speak when she heard the eldest daughter-in-law Li Hui say, "Although we haven't separated yet, the money we borrowed is for Zonghao's wedding, so naturally our eldest son's family doesn't need to repay the debt."

"Zhu Zi's mother! Stop talking so much. Zong Hao hasn't gotten married yet. What are you two whispering about?"

He turned around and was about to teach his daughter a lesson.

Pingping's mother was also furious at this time, thinking back then, their Chen family canceled the Zhang family's marriage proposal and instead married the Wang family from the same village, not because they wanted the Wang family to help pay off the debt.

But the couple can continue to gain benefits from the Wang family in the future.

Suddenly, Pingping's mother hated Wang Ziru.

Pingping's father, who was sitting next to the table, also began to feel dissatisfied with Wang Ziru and her husband.

Lin Xiuying said, "You don't have to argue about this. The debt owed by the Wang family must be repaid to the fullest."

The meaning is obvious, the eldest brother must help his younger brother to pay off the debt owed for his marriage.

For Wang Zongming, this immediately made him realize his parents' favoritism.

"Mom, let me make it clear today. The money that Zonghao owes for his wedding is Zonghao's business. Don't blame me." Wang Zongming looked as if he could split up the family business at any time.

This completely annoyed the parents.

Wang Dongsheng slammed his palm on the table, "Wang Zongming, can you say it again?"

"Dad! It's unfair to my eldest brother's family if you try to smooth things over like this."

"How dare you say that? If you hadn't come here and said that today, there would be such a conflict in this family?" Wang Dongsheng was so angry that his face turned red. He took out his anger directly on his daughter-in-law, but he didn't dare to do anything because his son-in-law was present.

Wang Ziru was not afraid of offending her parents and said calmly, "Why did a harmonious family suddenly become disharmonious? It's because the person who was originally at a disadvantage doesn't want to continue to be at a disadvantage. Once the words are spoken, the one who took advantage will get anxious."

"What did your brother suffer?!" Wang Dongsheng said angrily, standing up from the bench. "If you think your brother suffered a loss, let's separate the family today. I want to see how well they can live."

These words came from his own parents, and Wang Zongming's obedience to his parents immediately changed after hearing them.

Li Hui's eyes turned red, she covered her face, stood up and went back to the house.

"Then let's split up. Even if Zong Hao is at home today, I am powerless. The debt he owes is not owed by me, Wang Zongming, so I should not be the one to pay it back." After Wang Zongming finished speaking, he saw his father's tall and thin figure suddenly pounce towards him.

Wang Dongsheng was furious. He grabbed Wang Zongming and tried to teach his eldest son a lesson.

Fortunately, Zhai Ximo was quick-witted and quickly stood up to stop his father-in-law.

But Wang Dongsheng's look, as if he wanted to eat his eldest son, deeply hurt Wang Zongming's heart. Wang Zongming was also frightened just now, and subconsciously held his head and tried to hide.

Fortunately, my brother-in-law stopped his movement quickly, otherwise he would have been beaten up again today.

He has been beaten many times since he was a child.

The old father also blamed him for the mistakes made by his younger brother, and scolded him for not teaching his younger brother Wang Zonghao well.

Now his second child is about to be born, but his father still beats him without any reason. Wang Zongming's eyes are red with anger.

"My dear niece, why are you doing this? You come back to your mother's house and instigate your father and brother to fight. Wouldn't it be better to be more friendly?" Pingping's mother drank tea leisurely from the enamel pot, but she didn't forget to add fuel to the fire.

Wang Ziru's eyes flashed with a complicated light, and she smiled and said, "Auntie, a few days ago, my family went to the city to see Zong Hao, and heard Zong Hao say that if Ping Ping wanted him to give you a pig, then the marriage would not be concluded."

Suddenly, everyone in the stone house looked shocked.

Chen Pingping was especially panicked. She bit her lower lip, looking innocent and pitiful, "Mom, listen, has Zong Hao changed his mind?"

"He dares! If Wang Zonghao dares to mess with you, I guarantee that he will die."

Chen Pingping's mother could no longer sit still and watch the Wang family's jokes.

He stood up from the chair and said, "Come home with me."

After the three members of the Chen family left.

Wang Dongsheng and his wife, who originally wanted to say something, were so angry that they almost scolded their daughter on the spot.

"Zi Ru, no matter how much you dislike Ping Ping's mother, how can you say that you don't want to get married?" Lin Xiuying said in a reproachful tone.

"How could I say that on purpose? Just call Zonghao back and ask him and you'll know." Wang Ziru was not joking. If her brother Wang Zonghao obeyed the Chen family this time and lent them money to give them a pig, the brother-sister relationship between them would no longer exist.

Zhai Ximo's stern face was also unhappy, and he stood up directly, "Baoer, let's go home too."

"But... Dad, we haven't eaten yet?" Baoer had no idea that his mother had completely annoyed his grandparents, and if she didn't get out, his grandfather would probably beat them up.

Just as the family of three was about to step out of the stone house, they saw Chen Pingping running into the yard crying.

He rushed directly to Wang Ziru and asked, "Did Zong Hao really say that he doesn't want to get married?"

"Go ask him yourself. I won't help you pass the message between you and him."

So as to avoid being a thankless task.

Wang Ziru was also cursing herself in her heart. She had originally considered that she would soon join the army and before leaving her hometown, she should still help her mother's family. Now the spring breeze of reform has blown across China, and Longwang Village relies on the sea for fishing for a living.

Contracting the wharf and building a seafood market can be said to be in line with the trend of the times.

If the village wharf is contracted and turned into a wharf seafood wholesale market, the villagers can be united, those who are good at fishing can go out to sea to fish, and those who are good at doing business can set up stalls at the wharf to sell seafood.

In the future, when the nearby towns or county agencies need to purchase seafood, they will give priority to wholesale from here.

So that the villagers who are struggling to make ends meet can have food to eat and live a good life by the sea.

Who knew that it was actually her wish.

Normally when I go back to my parents' home, my mother's family would always see me and my son out of the village. But this time, my mother's family was so angry that no one followed to see me off.

…

When passing through the town, Zhai Ximo met his elder brother Zhai Qingsong.

These days, Zhai Qingsong took Zhang Kang and others into the mountains to hunt, and they also got a lot of mountain products.

He was reluctant to eat it, so after selling it in town, he went to the store and bought a bag of milk candy produced in a foreign market, and also bought a few feet of Dacron floral cloth, intending to send them to Hu Laosan's house as something for his daughter Zhaodi.

Seeing that his third brother and his family had returned from Longwang Village so quickly, Zhai Qingsong looked at the net bag in his hand and said, "Bao'er, uncle bought some candies for Sister Zhaodi and was just about to give them to her. Come here, uncle will get you a few first."

Zhai Ximo hurriedly stopped him, "No need to take it, big brother, if you miss Zhaodi, go find her and see how the child is doing in the new home. If Baoer wants to eat, we will buy it for him."

Baoer raised his little head and was ready to open his little palm to receive the candy, but his father took his hand back.

"My two pills, uncle has no use for them, and usually has no money to buy things for Baoer..."

"Brother, you don't have much here, so you don't have to take it for Baoer. Go quickly, let's go buy some candy for Baoer," Wang Ziru glanced at the net bag in her uncle's hand. It was such a small amount, it must have cost him all the money he had.

Zhai Qingsong felt very sorry and his face turned red. He had to tell his brother that he would go to Hu Laosan's house to see his daughter Zhaodi first.
