Chapter 103 You Have to Hand Over All Your Wages
Zhenbei sniffed, stood in the middle of the room, and timidly called out:
"Grandpa, don't hit my mom!"
Zhendong also said: "Mom, please don't go! Don't leave us!"
Lin Fang turned around and said to Zhuang's father and mother:
"If this gets out, will you, the Zhuang family, still have any face? This whole business of taking advantage of the Zhuang family is not legitimate! We've already been to the police station, and we don't even know who's responsible!"
Zhuang's father clenched his fists, filled with hatred. He said sternly:
"I'm going to send you to jail even if I have to sacrifice my reputation today!"
"You'd better think about it. Gan Mei will definitely not be able to get out. If I go in again, do you want to support Zhendong and Zhenbei?" Lin Fang sneered.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang looked at each other.
"Let's not even talk about how much money it would cost to raise two children. Just looking after them, how much effort would it take? Do you two think you can handle it?"
"Mom, my dad doesn't even do a single chore. Not only will you have to do all the chores, you'll also have to take care of two kids. And of course, you'll have to take care of Dad. Just think about it, if you keep tiring like this, how many years can you live?"
Mother Zhuang pursed her lips and looked at Zhendong and Zhenbei.
"Dad, you hit me just now, but I'm still calling you dad now. I think that's my sincerity! Let's just pretend nothing happened and continue to live like this until Ganmei comes out. We're still a family, okay?"
"If this gets out, it won't do any of us any good. I am related to Li Yuanhang, but I really don't know the details of the Laozhuang Qiangmei incident. And you also know that I also took out 500 yuan, and now it's all gone."
"It's been so long, it's time to divide the money..." Father Zhuang snorted.
"I can swear on my parents that I really didn't do it. I can earn money if I don't have it. I will give you twenty dollars every month in the future, and our family will pay you back together, okay?" Lin Fang pleaded.
There was silence in the room until Zhenbei started crying again:
"Grandma, I'm hungry!"
Lin Fang wiped her tears, stood up and walked towards the kitchen: "I'm going to cook noodles."
After she entered the kitchen, Zhuang's mother sent Zhendong and Zhenbei back to their room, saying that she would call them when dinner was ready.
Then Zhuang's mother took a basin and filled it with water to wipe Zhuang's father's face which was scratched by Lin Fang.
"Oh, that's a really ruthless move!"
"We can't let her go so easily!" Father Zhuang glanced at the kitchen.
"We really should just pretend it never happened, just like she said. Think about it, if this gets out, how will Gan Mei live after she's released? Well... even if they get divorced, who would care about him, a labor camp inmate with two children?"
"But how can this be done..."
"She's a regular employee with a salary, and she can take care of the child. Even if you don't want her, you have to wait until Mei is out! By then, the child will be older and won't need much care, so it won't be too late to kick her out, right?"
After hearing what Zhuang's mother said, Zhuang's father seemed to be a little shaken.
Lin Fang was thinking that since Li Yuanhang had already run away, she had no one to rely on, so she couldn't lose her job, and she couldn't go in either.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang definitely don't want to raise Zhendong and Zhenbei alone. She has strangled this idea, and she can also help pay off the debt.
From now on, we'll take it one step at a time and wait until this matter cools down.
By the time she finished dressing, Zhuang's mother had already cleaned up the room.
A family of five ate plain noodles.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Zhuang's mother called Zhuang Chaoying back.
When Zhuang Chaoying saw that all three men were injured, and Zhuang's father was the most seriously injured because his face was covered with scratches, he knew that they had been in a fight.
"What's going on? Why did you start fighting?" Zhuang Chaoying couldn't help but frown and asked.
Zhuang's father told Zhuang Chaoying about the matter.
Zhuang Chaoying was quite surprised when he heard this and was unable to recover for a long time.
He didn't expect that the person who cheated them was Li Yuanhang, and he didn't expect that Lin Fang was having an affair with Li Yuanhang.
For a moment, he was also very angry.
But now that things have come to this, we can only wait and see what they want to do.
"Dad, why did you call my eldest brother back? You might as well hang up a loudspeaker and spread the word! Say that I was having an affair with someone else, and you were so stupid that you got cheated out of thousands of dollars!" Lin Fang was very dissatisfied.
"How dare you yell like that! How can we trust you after what you've done? I asked Chaoying to come here so he could know about this, and then, under his witness, make you write a letter of guarantee promising to give us all your wages until you've earned 3,500 yuan!"
"What! I haven't had a penny in years. You guys are trying to force me to death, right? Besides, I was only trying to save Gan Mei. You guys trusted Li Yuanhang. I didn't say a word the whole time. It was all your decision. Why should I be the only one to pay back the money?"
When Lin Fang heard this, she decided not to do it. These two old guys were planning to squeeze her dry!
"You were in the wrong first! You're having an affair and you think you're right! You have to do what we say, or we'll report you to the police and say you're in cahoots! Let's see if you can clean it up!"
"Don't keep calling me a slut! If your son were any good, I could still go out and find a man. Young men are even weaker than those in their seventies and eighties!"
Zhuang Chaoying was terrified when she heard this and quickly stopped her: "Lin Fang! Stop it!"
"Brother, I have already admitted my mistake, but he still keeps calling me a slut! If that's the case, let's just go for broke! Let Zhendong and Zhenbei go to the welfare home!" Lin Fang said gritting her teeth.
"Dad, it won't work if you don't leave any money." Zhuang Chaoying advised his father again.
"It's not that we don't give her money to spend. She just asks us when she wants to spend it! We are just afraid that she will spend it recklessly." Father Zhuang said stubbornly.
"Oh, I don't believe you! If it's in your pockets, how can it be taken out? I'm afraid even if I beg you on my knees, you won't give it to me! My eldest brother knows it well. He handed over all his salary before he got married. How can he take it back so easily? It's impossible to hand it all over!"
After discussing for a long time, Lin Fang agreed to pay half of her salary, and then add Zhuang's father's salary to repay the debt. After the debt was paid off, Lin Fang would no longer have to pay her salary.
But she added, "I'll pay the money, but I won't write a confession! Don't think I don't know what you're up to! No way, no negotiation!"
In the end, this so-called "confession" was not written.
Zhuang Chaoying looked at this broken family, feeling disappointed, sad, disgusted...all kinds of emotions mixed together, it was very complicated.
Zhuang Chaoying, who had been sitting on a stone bench, had been talking about these embarrassing things with his head down. Then he raised his head, looked at Huang Ling, and asked:
"A Ling, tell me, how did this family become like this?"
"Blame me! If I had just let you suck my blood obediently, this wouldn't have happened. That's what you want to say, right?" Huang Ling responded naturally.
