"Sis, if that's the case, then you should get half of Dad's things too. There's only one job, and I've taken it all. If you insist on dividing things up with me, then from now on, I'll give you half of my monthly salary," Zhao Tianyu said angrily.
"Hehehe... If you're willing to give it to me, I won't refuse." Zhao Zhenzhu laughed.
Compared to Wu Meiyun's dowry box, Zhao Tianyu's salary was insignificant.
If Zhao Tianyu dares to give, Zhao Zhenzhu dares to accept.
"Sis, if you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to get angry." Zhao Tianyu's face turned red with anger.
"Alright! Let's talk about this in a few years. Anyway, no matter how good something is, it can't be turned into money now." Zhao Zhenzhu calmed down.
"Don't bring it up again in a few years. I'm a grown man with hands and feet. I can earn whatever I want myself," Zhao Tianyu said angrily.
"Yes, yes, I know you have ambition. You don't want to take advantage of your parents and me." Zhao Zhenzhu looked at Zhao Tianyu with a smile.
"Sister, we're siblings. Besides Mom and Dad, we're the closest family we have in the world. From now on, don't say things like I'll get a share of Mom's dowry. It makes me wonder... if I'm just a spineless coward who only bullies his own family," Zhao Tianyu accused.
"Xiaoyu, I understand. I won't say things like that again." Zhao Zhenzhu didn't want to argue any further and could only compromise for the time being.
In fact, Zhao Zhenzhu had already made up her mind.
My brother said he didn't want my mother's dowry, so she kept it for herself.
When real estate becomes available for sale, she will buy several properties in first-tier cities and put her younger brother's name on the property deeds.
The house isn't part of Mom's dowry, so even if my brother wanted to refuse, he wouldn't have a reason to.
"Sister, that's the right way to do it." Zhao Tianyu, unaware of Zhao Zhenzhu's thoughts, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaoyu, do you think... Xiaohe's claim about going to see a doctor in the neighboring county is true or false?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked.
"Sister, why do you ask that? Did you hear something?" Zhao Tianyu's expression changed.
“I heard… Liang Tuyou recently wanted to get Liang Xiaobao a job. Did Xiaohe tell you about this?” Zhao Zhenzhu said.
Last night, after Wu Meiyun fell asleep, Zhao Zhenzhu lay in bed and reminisced about her past life.
After all, too much time had passed. Many details were almost forgotten by Zhao Zhenzhu unless she made a conscious effort to recall them.
This whole ordeal actually revealed several problems that Zhao Zhenzhu was currently facing.
In her past life, during this very period, Liang Tuyou forced Liang Xiaohe to transfer her job to Liang Xiaobao.
Liang Xiaohe refused. So she made up an excuse and swindled some money from Zhao Qingshan and his wife, asking Liang Tuyou to find someone to buy Liang Xiaobao a job.
Zhao Zhenzhu didn't dare ask about the exact amount in her previous life.
Zhao Zhenzhu only remembered that after Zhao Tianyu found out that Liang Xiaohe had cheated the family out of money, he went to Liang's house and made a scene. Zhao Qingshan and his wife were also deeply troubled.
Liang Tuyou is a tough nut to crack; he doesn't care about saving face at all.
No matter how much Zhao Tianyu urged him, Liang Tuyou refused to return the money, claiming that it was a gift from his daughter, Liang Xiaohe, as a filial gesture.
Because of this money, Zhao Tianyu and Liang Xiaohe argued for months, until Zhao Tianyu went to prison.
Before Zhao Tianyu was sent to prison, Zhao Zhenzhu visited him at the police station.
Zhao Tianyu instructed Zhao Zhenzhu to take good care of her parents and to have Liang Xiaohe urge the Liang family to repay the money.
When Zhao Zhenzhu returned home, she told Liang Xiaohe about it, but Liang Xiaohe scolded her.
After Wu Meiyun and Zhao Qingshan died, Zhao Zhenzhu never inquired about the money again. Anyway, even if the Liang family repaid the money, it would only benefit Liang Xiaohe.
“Xiao He didn’t mention anything about work.” Zhao Tianyu shook his head.
"Xiaoyu, let's go to the Liang family's house! I have a feeling that the Liang family should have the answers we're looking for," Zhao Zhenzhu suggested.
"Okay," Zhao Tianyu agreed.
The Liang family.
As soon as Liang Xiaohe entered the door, Liang Tuyou asked, "Aren't you supposed to be helping Xiaobao find a job tomorrow? Why aren't you at home going to bed early? What are you doing at your parents' house so late?"
This afternoon, Liang Xiaohe went back to her parents' home to report the good news.
When Liang Tuyou heard that Liang Xiaobao's job prospects were looking up, he happily drank half a bowl of wine and got drunk. He was still a little dizzy.
"Dad, the work can't be done tomorrow." Liang Xiaohe looked annoyed.
"Fifth Sister, what do you mean by that? That bastard Hu Yong didn't keep his word? No way, I'm going to find him." Liang Xiaobao got anxious, rolled up his sleeves, and stormed out the door.
It would have been fine if there had been no hope before.
The feeling of having hope only to have it dashed is incredibly painful.
"Stop!" Liang Tuyou shouted.
Liang Xiaobao stopped and turned to look at Liang Tuyou, saying defiantly, "Dad, why are you stopping me? Hu Yong has wronged Fifth Sister. If he dares not to find a job for his former brother-in-law, I'll expose all the terrible things he's done."
Liang Xiaohe's face paled.
What Liang Xiaohe feared most was that Liang Tuyou and his son would go and cause trouble for Hu Yong regardless of the consequences.
Hu Yong is not someone to be trifled with.
When that happens, Liang Xiaohe will definitely be the first one to suffer.
"Xiao Bao, come back first and let Xiao He finish speaking." Liang Tuyou glared at his son, his tone stern.
Liang Xiaobao reluctantly returned to the house and sat down next to Liang Tuyou, sulking.
"Xiao He, tell me what exactly happened? Didn't Hu Yong say he'd give you three days to raise the money? Why did he change his mind?" Liang Tuyou asked.
“That old hag Wu Meiyun probably suspects me. She said she’d give me the money today, but she changed her mind. I told Zhao Tianyu to borrow money from his sister, but he refused. I had a fight with him and came out.” Liang Xiaohe said, glancing at Liang Tuyou’s expression.
"Liang Xiaohe, you wouldn't have come back to ask me for money, would you?" Liang Tuyou asked in a sinister tone.
"Dad, I only have two hundred yuan, I'm still short six hundred. This is a rare opportunity, and if you don't give me the money, this can't be done." Liang Xiaohe, having nothing to lose, told the truth.
“There’s no other way? Then transfer your job to Xiaobao. I don’t have a single penny. Even if I did, I wouldn’t give it to him,” Liang Tuyou said.
"Dad, I practically wore myself out on the phone this afternoon to convince Brother Yong to help Xiaobao find a job. We missed this opportunity. Next time I ask Brother Yong, he definitely won't listen to me." Liang Xiaohe was almost in tears.
“If you don’t have money, then provide manpower.” Liang Tuyou smiled slyly.
"Send people? What kind of people?" Liang Xiaohe didn't understand.
"You think of a way to get Hu Yong to sleep with you, and I'll bring Xiao Bao to catch you in the act. Then, when Hu Yong refuses to help you with your job, he'll be ruined." Liang Tuyou finished speaking and laughed smugly.
"Dad, are you crazy?" Liang Xiaohe asked in horror.
