In that instant, both of them were completely devoid of all emotions.
"What are you two doing here? Knocking on the door in the middle of the night, are you trying to disturb someone's sleep?"
Seeing her mother's dark face, Zhang Mingxue felt even more aggrieved and tried to come in, but Mo Yan stopped her. "You two shouldn't come in. Seeing you makes me unhappy. You should stay outside. I believe you have the money to stay in a hotel."
Zhang Mingxue's face darkened; she was very angry. "Mom, that's enough! Do you have to be so sarcastic? This is my home, why can't I come back!"
If you don't want to disturb the neighbors, please let us in first.
Mo Yan looked at her daughter with a cold face, "Do you believe that someone had already reported me before I let you in?"
Go back quickly, it's late at night, I don't want to argue with you, there's no need.
I'll meet with you all tomorrow at noon, first at the tea restaurant downstairs from my company.
"You two can just go there then, and you can talk things out over there."
Mo Yan didn't want this ungrateful wretch to come in.
Zhang Mingxue was furious. She was about to say something when Wen Xingsheng stopped her, saying, "Okay, Auntie, see you tomorrow then."
Wen Xingsheng pulled Zhang Mingxue away, and Mo Yan watched them leave with a cold smile.
At that moment, the door on the other side opened.
That was another family.
Their house is an old building, the kind with three families on one floor, and all the doors are on the outside. Everyone lives in the same building.
Hearing the commotion, Grandma Ma from next door came out, wanting to know what was going on.
"What happened? Was that your daughter just now? Why did she come back and then leave?"
The original owner used to be afraid of others finding out, but now...
Mo Yan sighed, pinched herself, her eyes reddening, and looked at Grandma Ma with great distress. "Auntie, you don't know, children are all debts. I didn't realize it before, but now I feel really bad."
My daughter chose to marry someone from far away and never came back.
As a mother, I could have just ignored it, but they still wanted a dowry of 1 million yuan from me, even though the family didn't give me a single penny of betrothal money.
My daughter was raised by someone else's family; I never even considered whether her mother had any money.
As you know, when Dayong fell ill, we spent all our savings, and even sold those two shops. She still thought we had a lot of money.
Of course, this was just a rumor spread by the original owner's husband that it had been sold, but was later repurchased.
At that time, the original owner's husband was seriously ill. Not only did that girl not care, she often said that she would not come back and that she had to study at school, since studying was more important.
At that time, the original owner's husband knew that this daughter was unreliable, and transferred all the money to his wife's name in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, the house was transferred to the new owner.
Then, he made a will, leaving all his money to his wife, and their shop had long been transferred to the original owner.
It could be said that if the original owner didn't feel sorry for her daughter, she could have lived a good life herself.
Unfortunately, she was deceived by an ungrateful man, clinging to a tiny, nonexistent, false mother-daughter bond, which ultimately led her to despair.
Now, with red eyes, Mo Yan is telling Grandma Ma these things. She believes that by tomorrow, everyone in the neighborhood will know about this.
"Oh dear, I never expected your daughter to be such an ungrateful wretch."
Back then, you two really gave everything for this daughter, even if it meant sacrificing medical treatment to support her education.
You should be more careful in the future and leave yourself a way out.
She married so far away and never brought her back; she should save some money for herself.
Although Grandma Ma always liked to gossip, she meant what she said.
"Yes, Auntie, I know. I'll go back and rest now."
Mo Yan returned to her room heartbroken, not wanting to say anything more.
After returning home, I wiped away my tears and continued eating sunflower seeds while watching the movie.
Zhang Mingxue was pulled back to the hotel, and she glared angrily at Wen Xingsheng.
"What are you doing? I'm only arguing with my mom because of the two of us."
"You can't do it this way. Auntie is already very angry. If you start arguing again, do you think Auntie will help us?"
Just give in and talk to your mother nicely.
I believe she definitely feels sorry for you, her daughter.
Zhang Mingxue didn't hear it. "I just feel angry. My mom is doing it on purpose. She just doesn't want to help me. I don't know what she wants to do."
Knowing that things aren't easy for the two of us, they should give us more money.
She really disappointed me; she's so selfish.
Wen Xingsheng naturally wouldn't say anything about this; he also cared about money, and he naturally hoped that Zhang Mingxue's dowry could be even larger.
"Don't be like this. It's understandable that Auntie is angry. Neither of us has properly discussed this with her."
Mingxue, I know your personality, and I know you've always considered our family.
"For our future, would you please put up with this little bit of hardship? We'll talk to Auntie properly tomorrow, okay?"
Zhang Mingxue then agreed, "Okay, fine."
Tomorrow morning, you'll come with me to two places. I want to check how much the monthly rent is for our shop.
Wen Xingsheng nodded. Of course he was willing; it was all money!
They had a wonderful dream, and the first thing they did upon waking was to go to the shop.
After arriving at that place, they ordered a bowl of beef noodles.
The beef noodles tasted great, and there was a lot of beef in them.
Just because the boss recognized Zhang Mingxue, he said, "Mingxue, you're back!"
"Um, Uncle Wang, how much is your monthly rent?"
The shop owner smiled at Zhang Mingxue, "There's no rent. We bought this shop a long time ago."
"What?" Zhang Mingxue stood up abruptly, unable to believe what she was hearing. "How could this be? Isn't this our family's shop? When did this happen? How much did you spend?"
She had to find out that her father had told her when she was little that this was her dowry.
"It was the year your father got sick that all the money from selling this shop was used to treat him."
Your parents probably didn't want you to worry, which is why they didn't tell you these things. Both of your family's shops were sold, but unexpectedly, your father still passed away.
Zhang Mingxue: "!!!"
Not to mention Zhang Mingxue, even Wen Xingsheng couldn't accept it.
"How is that possible? I had no idea about this at all."
She was about to take the college entrance exam at the time and had no time to care. And why didn't they inform her when they sold the house?
Seeing Zhang Mingxue's reaction, the boss honestly felt sorry for Mo Yan and Brother Dayong.
Her behavior really seemed like regret... regret that they sold the house, and how could a daughter not know how much money her father's illness had cost?
