Chapter 592: Not for Myself
"Second brother, you went too far this time. You could have just been admitted to the hospital, but why did you let that third brother in as well? Now the police station doesn't support our claim for compensation at all, so there's no reason for them to pay."
Sitting in the standard double room, waiting for another patient to go out for a walk, Zhou Futu complained about the second child's unstable work.
If only the second child was hospitalized, he would definitely be able to get the other party to pay some money this time.
Now, the third brother is also admitted to the hospital. If the condition is serious, the second brother will have to pay for the damages.
"How do I know that the third brother would faint? I suspect he did it on purpose. Boss, don't blame me. You two just hide behind me and let me come forward alone. Ouch, my waist is really hurt today."
Hearing the boss's complaint, Zhou Fudi retorted without showing any weakness.
He also had a lot of complaints about these two brothers who only knew how to hide behind others.
However, considering that he could get the biggest share in the future, he just did it reluctantly.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Zhou Fuye, who was sitting quietly, asked with concern after hearing what his second brother said.
Now his second brother is the purse that determines whether he can get a lot of money, so nothing can really happen to him.
Even if something goes wrong, we have to get the money from the third brother's family first.
"Second brother, there are no outsiders here, so don't pretend with us. We won't give you any money."
After taking a sip of water, Zhou Futu, who saw through the other party's tricks, said lightly.
They have been brothers for more than half a lifetime, but he still doesn't know the second brother's tricks. If he can't get everything done, he wants to get a bigger share.
"I was just about to tell you about this. I'm going to get some money this time. If I get the money, don't even think about taking it."
Speaking of the money earned from the third brother's house, Zhou Fudi sat up suddenly and looked at the two brothers with sharp eyes.
"Second brother, how much money do you want this time?"
"I heard that Zhou Youliang's family made a lot of money by running a quarry and opening an online store. They also bought two houses in the city. They made a lot of money by taking care of their Youfa, but they refused to take care of our Ah Wang. I've made up my mind. I want 100,000 this time. However, I won't let you work in vain. I'll give you two 5,000 each."
Thinking of the ruthlessness and disloyalty of Zhou Youliang and his brother, Zhou Fudi secretly hated them and told his eldest brother and the youngest brother about his plan.
If Zhou Youliang could help his son open an online store and make some big money, why would he listen to the eldest brother's bad idea and take over the third brother's land?
Now, he relies on this face to survive, and he also wants to take a big bite from the third brother's family to save some money for his son to get married.
"Brother, this is inappropriate."
When Zhou Fuye, whose family had no property or savings, heard that his second brother wanted to extort 100,000 yuan from the other party but only gave him 5,000 yuan, his eyes turned red.
One hundred thousand yuan! If it is divided per person, he can get at least thirty thousand, which is enough for his family of three to eat for several years.
"How is it inappropriate? I was the only one making trouble all along. You guys hiding behind me and sharing 5,000 yuan is already very good."
As for dividing the money, Zhou Fudi kept his mouth shut.
His son is the only worker who is addicted to playing cards. He has no savings at all over the years and keeps borrowing money from him to pay off his gambling debts. His savings are almost gone.
The problem is that his son is already in his forties and doesn't even have a daughter-in-law.
If he doesn't make some money and find a daughter-in-law for his son, his branch will be extinct.
"Second brother, when the villagers come, without me and the fourth brother to support you and testify for you, how can you take money from the third brother?"
Hearing that the third brother was about to take all that money for himself, the eldest brother Zhou Futu couldn't stand it anymore.
All the money is squeezed from the third brother, so why should we prioritize them? Besides, his eldest son runs a labor protection supplies store and has many other places where he needs money.
"That's right, second brother, you can't say that. You and your eldest brother's families are both well off, and our family of three still lives in a mud house. If the higher-ups want someone to testify, I, your old neighbor, can be the best proof. What? Our family needs at least 30,000 yuan."
With his elder brother speaking, Zhou Fuye also refuted with reason and evidence.
In any case, the money cannot be kept by my second brother alone.
"It costs 30,000 yuan, why don't you go and stand there? I do everything by myself, and I want to split the money with you. Are you crazy?"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. We haven't gotten the money yet. Let's talk about dividing the money after the second brother gets the money."
"Boss, do you think the third brother's family will refuse to take the money?"
When Zhou Fuye thought of this, he felt a little worried.
The 30,000 yuan was their family's income for several years, and they couldn't just let it go to waste.
As for Zhou Fugen, that coward, who had been following the boss since he was a child, he never regarded the other party as his brother and had no respect for him at all.
"Oh, with the temper of the third brother, he didn't dare to resist even when we bullied him to death. He was just lucky that his children made some money, so he has nothing to worry about. When we were young and divided the family, we were just given a few buckets of rice and didn't even dare to fart."
In response to this, Zhou Fudi, who had always felt superior since childhood, sneered and never considered the possibility that the other party might not pay.
He had always suppressed the other party and never even looked at the so-called third brother.
"What the youngest brother said is possible. We have to be on the safe side. So, I'll find someone to make a certificate of the division of the family, and then find a guarantor to sign it, so that the third brother can't default on the debt."
"Brother, will this method work? It's been decades since the incident happened. The third brother paid for the land with his own money. How can we get a guarantor?"
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. With money, there's nothing you can't do."
"That's right, brother. I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter."
"Well, we won't get any money this time. Second brother, you should be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible and stay at the foundation of the third brother's house to prevent them from building the house. But second brother, you have to be careful not to force the third brother to stay in the hospital, otherwise it will be more difficult for us to get the money."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Not knowing that in a ward half a floor away, three old guys were calculating their family's money, Zhou Anan chatted with her aunt for a long time, and then chatted with her grandfather for a while.
After grandpa was tired and fell asleep, Zhou Anan walked out of the ward and came to the activity area in the middle of the inpatient floor. She picked up her mobile phone and looked at it.
After reading the text message sent by Hu Cong, Zhou Anan deleted it, stretched, and looked at the headquarters center in the distance which was about to be completed.
Six buildings more than 30 stories high form the new landmark building of Lizhou City - the headquarters center, which makes the small county-level city immediately feel like a big city.
Zhou Anan knew clearly that the first phase of the headquarters center, which would be completed next year, had cost the city's financial funds billions, but it was met with a cold reception when it first started selling.
In the end, the city government forced large and small businesses in the city to purchase the materials, which was enough to barely recover some of the costs and continue developing the second phase of the project.
A few years later, with the rise in housing prices, the rent of this headquarters center also soared, reaching 400 yuan per square meter per year, comparable to shop rent.
If I can recover the funds by the end of next year, I can buy a few floors and rent them out or set up a training department, which is a good option.
Zhou Anan collected his thoughts and the most important thing for him right now was to solve the trouble caused by those three old guys.
Apart from his grandfather's health, Zhou Anan believes that everything else that can be solved with money is trivial.
Cough cough cough, I'm just being arrogant. I should say that it's not a big deal if it can be solved with money.
However, Zhou Anan didn't want to be blackmailed by those three old guys for no reason.
After staying in the ward for an entire afternoon and waiting for her parents to bring her dinner, Zhou Anan finished her meal with her grandfather. After chatting for a while, she went home in the Liuzhou Wuling driven by her uncle.
"If your father and your aunt hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten Zhou Fudi half to death."
While driving on the road, Zhou Youfa talked about the issue of his own foundation with a rage in his heart.
Who could have thought that the three old guys who always bullied their family were so shameless that they even wanted to seize the foundation of his new house. They were simply crazy about money.
"Uncle, you really can't do this. If you do, you will really fall into the trap of the other party. They will spend money to identify it as a minor injury, and we will have no choice but to pay. Now, whether legally or morally, we don't have to be afraid."
As for this uncle who has a somewhat impatient temper, Zhou Anan still needs to analyze the power situation with him to prevent him from making things complicated out of impulse.
In fact, Zhou Anan was very clear about the strategy of his father and aunt, which was to let his elderly grandfather confront the other party head-on so that the other party would have no reason to blackmail him.
However, my dad and the others didn't consider at all that grandpa's body might not be able to withstand such torture.
Zhou Anan doesn't want the tragedy of her previous life to happen again in this life.
If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Since the other party was the one who blackmailed their family first, Zhou Anan did not have any psychological burden in letting someone frame the other party's children.
Perhaps, he should ask Hu Cong to speed up the progress.
As long as it's not actually illegal, anything goes.
"Now that you put it that way, I understand. But I just can't stand it. You don't know how annoying that old guy Zhou Fudi is."
After hearing what his college student nephew said, Zhou Youfa's mind became much clearer, but he couldn't stop complaining.
As a junior, Zhou Anan did a good job of being an obedient complainer.
After returning home, Zhou Anan talked with her grandmother, went upstairs to take a shower, and sat in the living room on the second floor watching the news and sending text messages.
"Awang, you haven't come home yet, aren't you going to have dinner?"
"What are you eating? Can't you see that I'm in good luck today?"
Zhou Xingwang waved his hand and was still in high spirits after playing cards for the entire afternoon.
He had a rare good day today. In a game with a maximum price of twenty dollars, he won five or six hundred dollars alone.
"No more fighting, go home and eat."
The other three people at the table were not too distracted either, and they found an excuse to have dinner and leave.
"Awang, do you want to come over here and play a few rounds?"
The game of Niu Niu at the table next to them was far from over when the player who was the banker's turn shouted with a smile.
"Okay, I'll come and help."
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Xingwang, who did not have much money, would definitely not dare to play when he saw such a big card game where the odds could double to forty or sixty.
But he had good luck today and made some money, so he was still not satisfied and joined in without hesitation.
Zhou Xingwang, who thought he was the God of Gamblers who came to his house today, bet a small five dollars on the first hand, but ended up getting a Niu Niu, making a direct profit of twenty dollars.
"Oh, not enough pressure, not enough pressure."
Unexpectedly, he got a big hand in the first hand. Zhou Xingwang, who originally just wanted to try his luck with Niu Niu, regretted it very much. He didn't dare to bet too much in the second round and continued to bet five yuan.
"Niu Jiu, I'm testing you. Why did you bet too little again? Fifteen dollars. Give me the money, give me the money."
"Awang, you stepped on dog poop today."
"Oh, it's just so-so. I'll give it ten bucks."
"Wow, it's Niujiu again, thirty yuan, pay quickly."
