Chapter 95: Trick Zhuang Hualin back to Suzhou
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhuang Chaoying and the others were ready to rest. Zhuang's father and mother took Zhuang Hualin to the house rented by Zhuang Chaoying.
When Xiang Pengfei saw his mother coming, his eyes reddened. He tried hard to hold back his tears and only called out, "Mom."
Seeing that she was still carrying the bag, Zhuang Chaoying gritted her teeth in anger.
It’s already this late, and you still care about that bed and that meal.
Zhuang Hualin walked a few steps to his son and looked him up and down.
"Isn't it fine now? Why do you say you are sick?" Zhuang Hualin turned around and said to his mother.
When Zhuang's mother heard this, she retreated behind Zhuang's father.
Zhuang Hualin finally realized that her parents had lied to her.
"You are going too far! If you have something to ask me to come back with, just tell me directly. How can you say that the child is sick? Aren't you afraid of retribution?" Zhuang Hualin roared.
Zhuang Chaoying finally understood. He had thought that Zhuang Hualin came to see Pengfei because he was worried about him.
"We're calling you, can you come back? You must think we want you to take Pengfei back!" Zhuang's father glared at him and said, "Something big happened at home. As a member of the family, shouldn't you come back?"
"Then tell me what's going on! How can you say the child is sick? I don't mind if you don't like Pengfei, but I really think what you're doing is really excessive! I'm saying Zhendong and Zhenbei are going to die of illness. Are you happy with that?"
Zhuang's mother stepped forward and interrupted Zhuang Hualin: "Alright, alright, be quiet. Don't let the neighbors hear. Chaoying, Tunan, and Pengfei will still be living here in the future..."
Hearing this, Zhuang Hualin sat down on the chair weakly. His son finally had a place to live, and it couldn't be ruined.
Only then did she begin to look around the house.
To be honest, it was much better than she thought.
She had actually heard Pengfei talk about the situation.
One weekend, Pengfei asked Huang Ling to take him to call his parents. Huang Ling took him and told him that he could chat with his mother for a while and not to worry about the phone bill.
Pengfei told Zhuang Hualin about his situation in Suzhou in detail:
The transfer has been completed and I can basically keep up, but it’s not great.
In the house rented by my uncle, he had his own bed, wardrobe and desk, and my uncle treated him well.
Aunt Huang asked him to go to her house with Brother Tuanan every weekend. She didn't let him work and cooked a lot of delicious food for him. There was meat at every meal and she also made a closet full of new clothes for him.
Aunt Huang brought him here to make the call.
......
Zhuang Hualin learned from her son that Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying were divorced, so she didn't believe it. She didn't believe that the divorced Huang Ling would care about Pengfei.
She was afraid that Pengfei would become sensible so she didn't dare to tell him the truth, but now it seems that what Pengfei said about food and accommodation was true.
"Pengfei, you will sleep with your brother Tunan today. Go ahead and close the door. You have to go to school tomorrow." Zhuang Chaoying said to the two children.
The two men stood up, entered the room, and closed the door.
The family spoke in low voices.
Zhuang Chaoying told Zhuang Hualin about the current situation.
"Then what's the point of me coming here? Do I have the ability to get him out?" Zhuang Hualin was puzzled.
"Let's think of a solution together. Do you want to watch your brother go to jail?" Father Zhuang gritted his teeth and wanted to slam the table again.
But this is not his home, and there is no table for him to take pictures of.
"If you break the law, you should be sentenced accordingly. What else can you do except wait?" Zhuang Hualin didn't buy his talk.
Zhuang Chaoying sat there without saying anything, as all these words had already been said.
Zhuang's mother nudged Zhuang's father and said, "Hurry up and tell me, it's already this late."
Father Zhuang nodded and said in a low voice, "Now, someone can help us find some connections and find a way to get Gan Mei out."
Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Hualin looked at their father at the same time, with expectation in their eyes.
But it was not for Zhuang Ganmei, but for the children. Having a prisoner at home, even if it does not affect their schooling and work, will still have a great impact on their future family life.
"But it will require a lot of money," Mr. Zhuang concluded.
Zhuang Hualin sneered, "No wonder you told me Pengfei was sick. You knew I would bring money, right? You guys are really vicious!"
When Zhuang's father and mother saw that their conspiracy had been exposed, their faces turned ugly.
"I can't compare to your good conditions. Xiangdong carries a big pickaxe, and I get a basic salary. We can only afford to eat, and we have to support Pengfei. I don't have money."
"Then we don't care! It costs a total of 6,000 yuan. We definitely don't have that much money. You must find a way to get it together." Mr. Zhuang didn't want to hear so much.
"How much!" Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Hualin exclaimed at the same time.
Zhuang's father gritted his teeth and said, "Huang Ling took 1,800 yuan when she divorced! Otherwise, we could have raised less!"
"Forget six thousand, I don't even have six hundred." Zhuang Hualin was speechless.
"Dad, you also know my situation in the past few months..." Zhuang Chaoying pushed his glasses. When it came to money, he was also helpless.
"I don't care! Ganmei is your younger brother anyway, you must take care of him. I don't care whether you borrow, beg or rob, you must raise the money for me within three days!" Zhuang's father raised his voice.
"What a joke! You let your older son and daughter break the law for the sake of your younger son! Only a biased parent like you can do that." Zhuang Hualin didn't tolerate him.
She was completely heartbroken by what happened to Pengfei.
"Anyway, I have no money, but I have my life. If you have the guts, just kill me! You also go in and accompany your good son!" Zhuang Hualin made up his mind and spoke more sternly.
Zhuang Chaoying had been educated, after all, and knew a little bit about the law. Furthermore, Huang Ling had warned him before that his parents would squeeze him dry over this matter, so he was also concerned. He advised:
"Dad, I don't think this is going to work. I'm afraid someone is trying to trick you! It's already a done deal, how can we get it out of this? The best we can do is hire a lawyer and see if we can get a lighter sentence."
"Giving this money to others, they can say yes or no with just a mouth. When there is no light sentence, they will still ask for money. That is unreliable! This matter was introduced by an acquaintance, so it must be reliable!" Zhuang's mother finally interrupted.
"I don't think so..." Zhuang Chaoying still felt something was wrong.
"To put it bluntly, you just don't want to pay! I didn't expect you to be such people! Zhuang Hualin, if you don't pay, take Xiang Pengfei and get out!" Zhuang's father shouted angrily.
"Where are you going? Pengfei's household registration is now under Big Brother's name. What's it to you?"
Mr. Zhuang was so angry that his blood vessels were about to burst.
He really couldn't strangle his daughter.
Because he was afraid that Xiang Pengfei would not be able to get rid of this trouble, he insisted on changing his household registration to Zhuang Chaoying's name in the name of seeking refuge.
Zhuang Chaoying was prepared to take responsibility for Pengfei anyway, so he agreed.
"Zhuang Chaoying! Then you do it! Tell them to go back to Guizhou!"
"Dad! How can you take your anger out on your child! If Pengfei goes back, can he come out of the United States? There are policies for household registration migration. You can't do whatever you want!" Zhuang Chaoying retorted.
Due to Pengfei's special situation, he had to run a lot before he could get his household registration. Old man Zhuang was the one who took care of all the big things and the small things. He was the one who took care of everything. Only he and Pengfei knew the hardships involved.
