Chapter 388 Selfish nature, Zhang's mother's arrangement
Huang Guilian quickly opened the door and hurriedly pulled Zhang Nini in. With a "bang", she closed the door again and looked at her carefully. She was relieved to see that she was fine. She carefully looked outside through the peephole and saw that there was no one. Then she sat down and asked Zhang Nini, "Did you have a smooth journey back? Did you encounter any trouble?"
Zhang Nini nodded and said aggrievedly: "I was fine on the way, but I was taken away by the procuratorate for questioning as soon as I arrived in Pu City. They also said that I can't leave Pu City during this period of time."
She was in a very complicated mood now. She regretted coming back rashly, but she also felt that she would definitely come back. Now she couldn't figure out what was going on with all those mixed emotions.
Huang Guilian didn't feel any regret. She had known that Zhang Nini would be restricted from traveling after she came back, but she still called her back. Otherwise, she would go crazy if she stayed here alone without anyone to rely on. Now that her daughter was back, she felt that she didn't have to face it all alone. Thinking of this, Huang Guilian cheered up and asked, "By the way, do you have any money on hand? My bank cards have all been frozen, and I've used up most of the cash I have, with only a dozen yuan left."
Zhang Nini was a little surprised when she heard that, and then she noticed that there were many instant noodle boxes in the room. She felt so sad that she wanted to cry. Huang Guilian would not even look at this kind of junk food in the past, but now she has fallen to the point where she has to rely on these things to fill her stomach.
Thinking of this, Zhang Nini quickly took out her cell phone and said, "Mom, don't worry, I still have tens of thousands of dollars here."
Zhang Nini's eyes widened in vain, and she looked at Huang Guilian with a pale face, "My domestic bank card has also been frozen!"
"What?" Huang Guilian stood up anxiously and asked, "Then how did you get back? What should we do if we don't have money?"
Zhang Nini checked and found that her bank card was frozen a few hours ago, almost when she just arrived in Pu City. At this moment, she suddenly felt desperate. She checked her M country account and found that the money was still there. She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled reluctantly: "There is still some money in my foreign account, but I can't use it now unless I transfer it to someone else and exchange it for cash. But I don't know who I can ask for help now."
They say that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The situation of the mother and daughter is almost the same now. All those who had tried to get close to their family before have disappeared without a trace. They don't trust other relatives who they don't interact with much, and they are embarrassed to suddenly come to their house. At least Huang Guilian can't do it. She probably never thought that one day she would ask for help from those relatives who she used to ignore.
Seeing Huang Guilian slumped in despair on the chair, Zhang Nini felt bad, but she didn't dare to show it. She had to hold on and think of a solution. After thinking it over, she whispered to Huang Guilian, "Mom, I think we can ask my uncle for help."
Zhang Jianye is the most reliable relative Zhang Nini can think of at the moment. Although she has always looked down on that poor relative, she has to say that he is very principled. Even though he is poor, he has never come to ask for money.
Huang Guilian laughed at herself when she heard this, "Their family is in a state of distress, how can they help us? You don't know since you are abroad, but your aunt is seriously ill, the family is in debt, and we don't know if she can be saved. I just listened to your father talk about it before and didn't pay much attention to it. Now we go to them for help, do you think they have the ability to help?"
The spark of hope that had just ignited in Zhang Nini's eyes was ruthlessly extinguished by Huang Guilian. She could not think of any other solution, and finally could only sell the luxury goods she brought back at a low price in exchange for living expenses.
Zhang's mother saw that Zhang's father was not in the right state of mind at work these days. After a few times, she got angry and pulled Zhang's father to a corner and asked, "What's wrong with you? You look absent-minded every day? Have you been bewitched by some vixen outside?"
Now that the family has some money, Zhang's mother tends to overthink things. In addition, Zhang's father has been in very bad condition recently, which makes her even more suspicious.
Father Zhang blinked his eyes fiercely and pointed at himself in disbelief. "You said I was looking for a woman outside? What are you imagining?"
Father Zhang frowned and retorted unhappily.
"What have you been thinking about lately? It's so weird!" Zhang's mother snorted coldly.
Father Zhang really had no words to say, and finally he could only say: "I was thinking about the demolition in the city. Don't we still have a lot of things at home? I plan to go with Bai Yan one day to move all the useful things at home and find out about the details of the demolition. Sometimes I get so engrossed in thinking that I forget about it. You can't wrongly accuse me! Look, I work with you every day, or I go to the county town to check the decoration of the house. Apart from that, I have no other place to go!"
Mother Zhang naturally knew that what Father Zhang said was the truth. She just didn't like his look and was just looking for trouble. Seeing that Father Zhang was sincere, she curled her lips and didn't ask any more questions. After thinking for a while, she said, "There are only a few broken things in the city. They are not worth much. I don't care if you want to move them or not. Just take the valuable things out."
If it were in the past, Zhang's mother would definitely be reluctant to let go of this and that, but now that she has been away from the city for such a long time, she no longer has such deep feelings for the things there. Besides, the things in the house have been there for more than ten years. If they are really moved back, they will just take up space there, which is completely unnecessary.
Father Zhang was stunned for a moment, then said, "When should I go back to take a look?"
Mother Zhang looked at the people working and thought, "Let's wait until the house in the county is built. Now they need you to go over there every day to check on them and keep in touch. Mid-Autumn Festival is in a month, and the family will be very busy then. How can we have the time to go to the city, let alone take Bai Yan with us!"
"After the house is built, you can go back by yourself, and Bai Yan has to drive! Thinking about it this way, I think you should hurry up and get your driver's license now, so that you don't have to rely on Bai Yan alone when the family goes out. He only has two hands, how can he take care of everything!"
Father Zhang stared blankly at Mother Zhang as she turned around and went to work. Now he understood that everything had been arranged clearly by Mother Zhang. Well, he didn't need to think about it anymore. Just let it be!
Later, Zhang's father returned to normal and Zhang's mother didn't ask any more questions.
Let's not talk about this matter anymore. Zhang Wanwan is currently researching some new dim sum and plans to launch them during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After her rebirth, she has traveled all over the world and tasted countless delicacies. It is much easier for her to research dim sum than for others. She often bakes a batch of new products every now and then for Qin Wenjun to try.
