The eldest daughter-in-law had already returned the 500 yuan family division fee to Zhang Min, and her family even privately mocked the old man Zhang for being short-sighted.
Before the family split up, the eldest daughter-in-law's family secretly supported their daughter, while outwardly they resolutely cut off all contact with her.
As soon as the family split up, the eldest daughter-in-law's family immediately appeared, not only letting their daughter participate in the family business, but also buying them a house.
The house was bought in Zhang Mengdie's name because we were worried that Old Man Zhang might be instigated by others to seize the property.
Zhang Mengdie is Old Man Zhang's granddaughter. No matter how domineering Old Man Zhang is, he can't possibly steal the dowry that his maternal family gave to their granddaughter.
When Old Zhang's young wife found out, she felt extremely resentful. Since the old man couldn't help, surely the young one could?
So, after being instigated by his parents and grandmother, Zhang Laifu kept harassing Zhang Mengdie, acting like a rogue if she didn't give him money, and even got into a fight with her.
Fortunately, Zhang Mengdie was an opera student and had considerable martial arts skills. When she was bullied too much, she forgot her master's words and beat Laifu half to death in just a few rounds.
The most precious little grandson was beaten by his granddaughter and sent to the hospital. Old man Zhang and his little wife couldn't let it go and came to the door.
When Old Zhang's young wife saw the furnishings in Zhang Jun's house, her greedy face was completely undisguised, with a look that said she wouldn't stop until she had squeezed him dry.
But at this moment, the eldest daughter-in-law's family appeared. Although they were all business people, they also had considerable connections.
Just when they were at their most desperate, the political commissar's in-laws made a phone call that extinguished all their greed.
The higher-ups have already called this political commissar, warning him to know when to stop, or else he'll ruin his future.
The political commissar was terrified. Only then did he realize that his in-laws were using his name to bully others. How could this be allowed?
So, without hesitation, she picked up the phone, found Old Man Zhang, and bluntly stated her point of view: if he continued to mess around, she would make her daughter divorce his son.
Old Zhang was so angry that his eyes rolled back, and he couldn't breathe properly, so he was admitted to the hospital.
The matter was resolved so easily. This time, Old Zhang's young wife not only didn't get any advantage, but also lost face and could only slink back home.
After returning home, the young wife was so angry that she instigated Old Man Zhang to unilaterally declare that he was severing all ties with Zhang Mengdie and that Zhang Mengdie was no longer his granddaughter.
Zhang Jun snorted coldly, "Since you want to sever ties with my daughter, then you might as well sever them completely."
So the father and daughter went to the police station to request a change of surname to the mother's. However, the police station stipulated that the surname change required Mr. Zhang's consent.
The father and daughter went directly to Old Man Zhang, handed him an application form to change his surname, and asked him to sign it.
Old Zhang, of course, disagreed. He took the application form and tore it to shreds. Change your surname? Dream on.
But Zhang Jun refused this time. He said he would stay with his father and son, but he would sign the document severing their father-son relationship.
Seeing his eldest son hand him another piece of paper, Old Man Zhang tore it up without even looking at it.
Zhang Jun was stubborn; he tore off one piece of paper after another until the ground was piled high with shredded paper. There was still a large stack of shredded paper in Zhang Jun's backpack.
Left with no other option, Old Man Zhang chose to sever ties with his son over changing his surname and signed his name.
He signed the document, but he was secretly pleased with himself. What use was this kind of severance document? As long as you still have the surname Zhang, you are my son.
However, things did not turn out as simply as Old Man Zhang had anticipated. Zhang Jun published the document severing his father-son relationship in major newspapers and periodicals.
This piqued the curiosity of those unaware of the inside story, who began to prick up their ears and inquire about it. The eldest daughter-in-law, her family, and Zhang Min then began their performance.
They began their story after their mother died, when Old Man Zhang married a new wife and had a younger son, recounting the poignant tale of the yellowing cabbages in the field.
As a result, everyone learned about the scandals in the Zhang family, and the saying "with a stepmother comes a stepfather" was proven true once again.
In particular, the irreconcilable conflicts within the family were brought to the press, and the Zhang family became famous as a result.
Thus, Old Zhang's path to advancement was abruptly cut short. If he couldn't even manage his own family, how could he possibly manage a larger one?
As if things weren't bad enough, Zhang Laifu, the grandson of Wang's, was spending money recklessly. Zhang Mengdie didn't dare to ask him for money, so she turned to Wang's grandson for help.
Wang's grandson was also a brainless fool who couldn't resist Zhang Laifu's temptations. Thus, the two teenagers committed a terrible crime.
Originally, Old Man Zhang had used all his cunning and money to pull strings and get his precious grandson out of trouble.
What he didn't know was that Yan Xiaonan had taken action, scaring the two teenagers half to death, and they obediently confessed to the crimes they had committed.
Even if Old Man Zhang used all his connections, he couldn't stop Zhang Laifu's determination to go to jail.
In this child's mind, going to jail won't kill him, but not going to jail will definitely scare him to death.
Old Zhang belatedly realized that he had met a master, and this master must be backing up Grandma Wang.
Old Zhang was so preoccupied with finding a way to talk to this expert that he hoped the expert would show mercy and spare his precious grandson.
But he couldn't find her no matter how hard he looked. Grandma Wang worked for the Yan family. Could it be Yan Xiaonan? She was even kidnapped for a while.
It's impossible. If I can be kidnapped myself, how could I possibly stand up for Grandma Wang?
So it must be the Ye family, but the Ye family never cares about such trivial matters, so it can't be them. Then who is it? Old Man Zhang is obsessed.
Yan Xiaonan wouldn't pay any attention to such things; she was focused on expanding her business empire and making the most of this opportunity presented by the reform and opening-up policy.
The Beijing Club has been fully established and VIP cards have become extremely difficult to obtain.
Everyone knows that as long as you have a VIP card from the Beijing Club, even the lowest tier one, you're guaranteed to get into a high-ranking official's car in Beijing.
The clothing factories in Beijing have begun to expand. With the improvement of people's living conditions and the abolition of various ration coupons, everyone has begun to pay more attention to their clothing.
In particular, the various fashion styles produced by the garment factory based on Yan Xiaonan's drawings were loved by most women.
Ah Hao from Huacheng makes a trip to Beijing every year to buy up a large portion of all the different styles of clothing, mainly because the wholesale volume in Huacheng has increased significantly.
Fortunately, the wholesale market in Shanghai is not yet fully developed, but Chen Sheng, whom Yan Xiaonan met during the last demolition, really impressed her.
Chen Sheng has decided to follow in Yan Xiaonan's footsteps. Even before the wholesale market is fully built, he has already helped her secure the best shop in the market.
