Chapter 278 You won't even give me a hundred yuan?
Seeing that he was angry, Su Hongying's eyes flickered, and she said, "Fan Liangyu said she wants to divorce the second son because she has no place to live. What if they end up divorcing because we didn't give them money..."
"Let them divorce. Who is she trying to threaten with divorce? Does she think my parents still want her as their daughter-in-law? If it weren't for the second son's big fuss, she would have been a divorced woman long ago."
Zhang Haijun glared impatiently at Su Hongying, "You should stay away from her. She's always causing trouble and has no intention of living a good life with the second son. They're doomed sooner or later. If you follow her example, we won't be able to live together either. My mother doesn't like you anyway..."
A flash of coldness crossed Su Hongying's eyes.
He looked somewhat agitated. "Who does your mother like? She doesn't like Fan Liangyu, and she's never liked me either. She likes daughters-in-law who listen to her and let her take advantage of her. When we first got married, how many times did I bring money and things to your house? How did she treat me if I didn't bring anything?"
"Why are you so agitated? I was just saying things in the heat of the moment. Besides, that's my mom. What could I do?"
Zhang Haijun frowned, disliking Su Hongying's tendency to start arguments whenever her mother was mentioned.
Su Hongying's eyes reddened. "Brother Haijun, I know that's your mother. I've tried so hard to please her, but she doesn't want me as her daughter-in-law at all. Have you forgotten what happened a couple of days ago?"
Zhang Haijun choked, thinking of his mother's irrationality, and indeed found it difficult to speak up for her.
He sighed and said, "I only have one mother, and I can't abandon her, so I'm afraid I'll have to make things difficult for you."
Su Hongying sneered inwardly, lowered her head, too lazy to play along anymore, and said in a wooden voice, "I've been looking at a courtyard near your workplace for the past two days. It's a shared apartment with someone. There's a hand pump well in the courtyard, and a public toilet is not far from the courtyard. The rent is twenty yuan a month. Why don't you go take a look tomorrow? Staying in hotels all the time is too expensive. Once we've settled down, I'll send the child to my parents' house and I'll go find a job."
Seeing that she was still angry, Zhang Haijun felt a surge of anger. How dare these girls give him attitude? They're so spoiled!
He suppressed his anger and said calmly, "I don't have time. If you think it's suitable, then make a decision."
"I have no money."
Su Hongying glanced at him and reached out for money. Zhang Haijun thought that Zhang Lao Er was just like her, taking it for granted that he would ask him for money, and he felt disgusted.
But he still got up and took out money from his bag. After rummaging through it, he couldn't find any twenty-yuan bills. He told Su Hongying, "I'll break them open and give them to you tomorrow."
Su Hongying gave a forced smile, "No need for that. Give me a hundred and I can break it myself."
Zhang Haijun didn't respond, and the room fell silent for a moment, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Navy Bro, what's wrong with you? Give me the money." Su Hongying deliberately provoked him.
Zhang Haijun glanced at her and repeated, "I'll break the money open and give it to you tomorrow."
Su Hongying stared straight at him.
He said, "Brother Navy, you won't even give me a hundred dollars? Can't I break it open?"
Zhang Haijun still didn't respond. His subordinate stuffed the money into his bag, put it back under the pillow, and changed the subject, saying, "Let's eat."
Su Hongying almost laughed in exasperation as she watched his series of smooth movements.
He demanded, "Zhang Haijun, are you afraid I'll embezzle your hundred yuan? What can I do with a hundred yuan?!"
“…I didn’t mean that.” Zhang Haijun frowned and glanced at her.
Su Hongying's eyes were red. "What does that mean? Explain yourself."
Seeing that she wouldn't stop, Zhang Haijun frowned and said, "Why do you insist on taking the money? I haven't skimped on your food and drink. I also prepare money for your lunch every morning when I leave, and I bring back boxed meals from the cafeteria in the evening. You have a child to take care of and there's nowhere to spend money. If you take the money, people will easily take a liking to it. What if you run into a robber? Would you care about the money or the person?"
They had this "I'm thinking of you, how can you be so ungrateful?" look on their faces.
Su Hongying sneered inwardly.
How could she not know that no matter what this scoundrel said, it was just a cover-up for his true purpose: he didn't want to give her money?
She glanced at where Zhang Haijun kept his money, knowing he would take it with him when he went to work tomorrow. He had been staying at the hotel for several days and had taken the bag containing his money with him every day. Who was he keeping an eye on?
Beware of her!
Su Hongying chuckled self-deprecatingly, feeling utterly pathetic for wasting her time with such a scoundrel!
Screw it, she doesn't want to act anymore.
Seeing that Su Hongying hadn't responded for a while, Zhang Haijun realized that his attitude had been a bit too harsh. He pursed his lips, opened the lunchbox, took out chopsticks, and handed them to Su Hongying.
Su Hongying looked at the chopsticks handed to her and really wanted to grab them and throw them in his face.
But she didn't do that; she silently accepted the food and drinks and ate and drank as usual.
Zhang Haijun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over.
Smiling, he asked Su Hongying, "Who lives in the courtyard? Are they easy to get along with?"
Su Hongying ignored him.
Zhang Haijun frowned, asked a few more questions, and seeing that Su Hongying was ignoring him, he knew she was still angry, and his anger flared up.
“Su Hongying, can you stop being unreasonable? It’s just that I didn’t give you the money, is it really necessary to make such a fuss? I already said I’ll break the hundred-yuan note and give it to you tomorrow! And then I’ll give you an extra ten yuan…”
"No need, I don't need those ten yuan, you can keep it yourself." Su Hongying glanced at him.
Zhang Haijun, feeling indifferent under that gaze, angrily threw down his chopsticks.
The chopsticks hit the coffee table and bounced up, making a 'clattering' sound.
Su Hongying put the food in her mouth and then threw down her chopsticks.
It's like anyone can fall down.
Keep falling!
Zhang Haijun's face turned pale with anger. He glared at Su Hongying, his lips pursed. "You, you... what's the point of making such a scene? What did I do to you? It's just a hundred yuan. I already made you move out of my house. What more do you want from me?!"
Su Hongying looked at him with a cold face.
Zhang Haijun didn't like Su Hongying's way of looking at him.
His anger flared even more, and he shouted, "I've argued with my parents like this because of you, and you turn against me when I don't give you money? Su Hongying, are you obsessed with money? No wonder my mother doesn't like you..."
Seeing his anger and embarrassment, Su Hongying sneered inwardly.
This bastard clearly didn't like being controlled by his mother and followed her out on his own, but now he claims it's all for her sake!
They always shift the blame onto others.
That's really great.
"Zhang Haijun, I gave birth to your child and was almost killed by your mother. Do you think I care about a hundred yuan?"
Su Hongying stared at him coldly, gritting her teeth, wishing she could tear a piece of his flesh off. "What I care about is that you don't care about me at all. You don't love me at all. You only care about money. In your eyes, I'm not even worth a hundred yuan..."
Zhang Haijun was furious and was about to have a big argument when Su Hongying said those words, leaving him momentarily stunned.
