Hearing Mei Yun say this, Zhang Xuewu couldn't help but frown.
"Is it really that bad? So many years have passed, and my sister still hasn't asked for it. She's probably forgotten about it long ago!"
"Give me a break!"
Mei Yun pointed her finger hard at his forehead, "Old Wang next door owes you five hundred yuan, and you haven't forgotten it in two years! That's two million yuan! Do you think your older sister has dementia? How could she forget something like that?"
Zhang Xuewu quickly pulled her hand away, "Alright, alright! Even if my older sister hasn't forgotten, she wouldn't ask me for this money! My older sister has always doted on me since I was little, just like you dote on your younger brother. You gave Mei Chao two million to buy a house, do you expect him to pay it back in the future?"
Zhang Xuewu had an annoyed expression on his face.
He gets angry whenever he thinks about it. That's your brother! Why should I use my money to buy him a house?
Mei Yun nodded, "That's true..."
However, she quickly realized what was going on and glared at him, saying, "What? Zhang Xuewu? I'm asking you to buy a house for my brother, and you're not happy about it? He's my own brother, isn't it only right that you buy him a house?"
Mei Chao suddenly spoke up, "That's right, brother-in-law, my sister is the only unmarried woman in my Mei family. She's married to you, so it's only right that you buy me a house. Oh, by the way, I recently saw a Mercedes-Benz, an E-Class. It's not expensive, only a little over 500,000 yuan. Why don't you buy it for me too? These days, girls only care about this. If I don't have a Mercedes, I won't be able to find a good partner!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuewu's veins throbbed. "You're a grown man, and you still want me to buy a car? Don't you have hands and feet? You want to buy a Mercedes? I'm still driving a Passat!"
Over the years, Mei Chao has been living off him and treating him like a son. Now he wants him to buy him a house and a car. He's had enough!
Mei Chao's face flushed red, but he didn't dare to get angry with Zhang Xuewu. He could only mutter, "You have hands and feet too, and your older sister bought the house for you. I didn't say I was going to buy it for you. I asked my sister to buy it!"
"You!" Zhang Xuewu rolled his eyes in anger.
Let your sister buy it? Isn't your sister's money also mine?
Mei Yun quickly said, "Alright, alright, let's learn martial arts. Look at you, Mei Chao is still a child, why are you like him!"
Mei Yun then said to her younger brother, "Mei Chao, you too! A car is just a means of transportation. Why did you have to buy a Mercedes? You could have just bought a Camry or something!"
Mei Chao pouted and walked over to Mei Yun, grabbing her arm. "Sister! You don't understand. Cars are all about status. If you drive a Camry, people will stay far away from you. Who's going to be your friend? Especially these young girls nowadays, they've been brainwashed by toxic positivity. They won't recognize anything other than BMW, Mercedes, and Audi! I bought a nice car so I could find a partner, right? If I can't find a partner, our Mei family line will end!"
Upon hearing this, Mei Yun realized that her younger brother's words seemed to make sense.
"Alright, alright! I'll buy it for you!" Mei Yun said helplessly to Zhang Xuewu, "Xuewu, let's take 500,000 out of the two million and buy my brother a Mercedes!"
Zhang Xuewu cursed inwardly!
However, he was too lazy to argue with the siblings and waved his hand helplessly: "Do whatever you want! It's only two million anyway, do whatever you want with it. Oh, by the way, housing prices have gone up again this year. Two million might not even be enough to buy a three-bedroom apartment! You'll have to figure it out yourselves!"
The siblings were stunned for a moment.
Yes, if you buy a Mercedes, you won't have enough money to buy a house!
These days, if you want to get married, you can barely manage without a car, but you can't do it without a house, or you'll never get past your mother-in-law!
Mei Yun sighed and said to Mei Chao, "Brother, how about this? Let's put off buying the car for now and buy the house first! House prices are rising so fast these days, if we don't buy now, we'll never be able to afford it later!"
Mei Chao looked unwilling.
Actually, he'd rather buy a car than a house, because with a car he can show off and have fun! He'll pick up girls every time!
But he knew he couldn't convince his older sister. If he wanted to buy a car, he'd have to find another way.
However, a thought suddenly struck him, and he quickly said, "Sis, how about this? Your husband's older sister will be here soon, right? Your husband mentioned before that his family owns a big company, so they should be quite wealthy, right? Why don't you have your husband borrow another 500,000 from his older sister?"
Mei Yun's eyes lit up. That's right! How come she didn't think of that!
My husband said his older sister dotes on him the most, right? She even gave him two million to buy a house before, so borrowing five hundred thousand shouldn't be too difficult for her, right?
Thinking of this, she immediately looked at Zhang Xuewu and nudged his arm, "Xuewu, what do you think of my brother's idea? I think it's a good one!"
"What do you mean, 'okay'?!" Zhang Xuewu's old face immediately darkened. "Neither of us has a job right now. Who's going to pay back the 500,000? Are you even going to pay it back?"
Mei Yun shook her head. "Xuewu, your sister's in-laws own a big company. Do you think they'd be short of 500,000? We didn't even have to pay back her 2 million, so what's 500,000? Why don't you give it a try!"
Zhang Xuewu looked displeased and said irritably, "Give me a break! They were already being lenient by not taking the two million from before! You may be shameless, but I still have my pride!"
Mei Yun immediately straightened her face, her fierce temper flaring up again. She put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Zhang Xuewu, I'm asking you, are you going to lend it to me or not? If you don't, don't even think about getting into my bed again!"
"You!" Zhang Xuewu was so angry he couldn't speak.
Unexpectedly, Mei Yun used this matter to threaten him!
Isn't this passive-aggressive behavior?
Besides, what will happen to the child if they're not allowed to sleep together? Can you just create one out of thin air?
Zhang Xuewu felt extremely aggrieved. In fact, he had long been fed up with this woman. Over the years of their marriage, he had thought about divorce no less than twenty times, and at least five times he had wanted to strangle her!
But he dared neither divorce nor kill.
Mei Yun is a very cunning woman. When she got married, she demanded that the house and car be registered in her name. She also entrusted all the savings to her management.
If he gets a divorce, he'll have to leave with nothing. He's forty years old, what can he do outside? Become a security guard?
Besides, murder is illegal, and he wouldn't dare to do it!
This life is pure torture!
Zhang Xuewu dared not speak out in anger, and could only helplessly say, "So many years have passed, I don't know how my eldest sister is doing. Why don't we ask her about her family situation first?"
Mei Chao's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "Hey, how about this, sis? When they get here, let's see what kind of car they drive. If it's a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Audi, that means they're doing well, and I think we can lend them the money!"
Mei Yun nodded quickly, "Brother, that's a good idea. Okay, let's see what kind of car they drive!"
No sooner had he said that than a white Bentley screeched to a halt in front of the villa.
The car door opened, and Zhang Ailan eagerly stepped out, her face beaming with joy as she exclaimed, "Xuewu, it's been so many years! Your older sister has missed you terribly!"
Zhang Xuewu's family froze instantly, especially Mei Yun and her brother, whose eyes were practically glowing blue as they stared at the imposing car.
Holy crap!
It's a Bentley!
