Chapter 334 Smashed - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

The door of the small house rented by Raymond Lam and Zhang Mei was slammed loudly.

Zhang Mei's heart skipped a beat, but after the sound of the door opening, her heart, which had been pounding, gradually calmed down.

Zhang Mei walked out of the door slowly, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Why are we here? Don't you know? Don't play dumb and give me the money right away." Mrs. Zhang stretched out her hand towards her.

Zhang Mei blinked, and it seemed that she could no longer hide it. "No, I don't have it. The money is not with me..."

"Where is that?"

Zhang Mei said in a panic: "The money... is with Lin Feng..."

Zhang's eyes widened when she heard this. "Why are you so greedy? That's our family's money!"

Hmm? Eating from the inside and stealing from the outside? Did you say it the other way around?

"Mom, why do you talk like that? Besides, that money has been accumulated over the years. What you borrowed from me is not enough. It's still half short!" Zhang Mei retorted.

"How dare you say that? Didn't I tell you yesterday? What you gave us before was to honor me and your father. How can you say you lent it to us?"

"Why not? You always say that your life is hard and ask me to give you more money. I gave you money every time before. What's wrong with giving you back a little now?"

Neighbors who were not working outside were all peeking in, and the daughters-in-law who were supposed to go back to their parents' homes on the second day of the Chinese New Year were all attracted by the noise here.

The implications of what Zhang Laonian and Zhang Mei said immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Old Man Zhang and Boss Zhang all glared at each other. They never expected that even after Old Lady Zhang stepped in, Zhang Mei still insisted that she had no money. This made them very angry.

"Mom, why are you talking to my little sister? The money must be hidden in their house. Why don't we just search it out?" Boss Zhang said impatiently.

Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang suddenly felt that what their eldest son said made sense.

He pushed Zhang Mei away and said, "Go away, let us go in and search."

"Mom - what on earth are you going to do? If you really go in and search the house, that would be trespassing!" Zhang Mei was still a little bit unbelievable when she was pushed down.

"How can you call it breaking into a private house? We are entering our own daughter's house, so why not?"

"Mom——" Zhang Mei was so angry that she was speechless.

Next, the few people ignored Zhang Mei's obstruction and searched the room they rented.

"No, how could it be that there is no such thing?"

"Zhang Mei, you bitch, tell me where the money went."

"Hurry up and tell me!"

Zhang Mei was grabbed by the collar and felt suffocated. She didn't dare to lie, "No... I really didn't... lie to you..."

Boss Zhang stared at her intently. Zhang Mei was already having trouble breathing, but he still didn't ask her to change her words. "Everything you said is true."

"...Yes, it's true...Lin Feng took all the money himself. I really don't have any money."

Although Old Man Zhang and Old Lady Zhang heard these words, they were still unwilling to accept it. Their chests kept rising and falling with anger. "No, we can't let them off so easily!"

Old Lady Zhang looked around the house. She was about to move out of the house, but after taking a look around, she realized that the house was already very simple after they moved out, and basically everything was in sight.

Zhang Lao Niang swallowed her words again. Even if she said it, what would it matter? There was nothing good about it.

"Smash it all for me!"

Zhang Lao Da was very obedient. After Zhang Lao Da finished speaking, he started to smash things.

"No, you don't want that!" Zhang Mei held on desperately, but it was of no use.

The neighbors nearby didn't even dare to speak out. The family looked ferocious. What if they stood up to speak for Zhang Mei, and Old Man Zhang and his men came and smashed their house?

So everyone just wanted to stay out of it. These young wives didn't have the courage to face these ferocious monsters.

After Old Man Zhang and his friends had a good vent in the house, their mood finally improved a little.

Although he found nothing, he still said something harsh when he left, "You'd better ask Lin Feng to return the money to us, otherwise... hehe!" Boss Zhang raised his fist in protest.

In the end, Zhang Mei was thrown to the ground like a piece of rag. Looking at the broken furniture on the ground, she felt so heartbroken.

After the Zhang family left, the neighbors who had been hiding in the dark finally dared to come out.

Zhang Mei and Lin Feng's reputation in their area has been greatly affected because of what happened before, but when something like this happens, it's normal for neighbors to come and show concern, right?

Yes, they are definitely not gloating over the misfortune!

"Zhang Mei, are you okay?"

"Ahhh! Get out, all of you get out!" Zhang Mei felt so embarrassed that she couldn't face anyone anymore. She could only scream at others to leave.

The neighbor's face immediately turned cold, "Really? We just came here to show our concern, but you treated us like this? Humph! You deserve to be bullied like this!" After a cold snort, he turned around and left.

No one else dared to ask, because...

"Bang!" Zhang Mei closed the door directly.

Since Zhang Mei is so ungrateful, don't blame them.

They all had to go back to their parents' home today, and they spread the news to people they knew along the way.

It was when Aunt Li's elder sister returned to her mother's home that she remembered that Zhang Mei was her sister-in-law's daughter-in-law, and she came over to tell them.

Lin Qingjian was shocked to death, okay!

Before going to bed at night, he talked about this with Cen Xi again, "You don't know, Zhang Mei often supports her family, and I don't know what stimulated her this time."

Cen Xi held Lin Qing very quietly, not daring to move at all, "Maybe what my parents said before worked!"

"What?"

"Didn't mom say before that if you want to work after you break up, you have to pay for it?"

"Oh! So that's why!"

"I think it's very possible, but she may not have taken it back voluntarily. It is very likely that she was forced by Raymond Lam. It is very easy for a man to control a woman. Raymond Lam couldn't control Zhang Mei before, mostly because he didn't want to." Cen Xi himself is also a man, so he naturally understands men better.

Lin Qing was silent for a while. Cen Xi was right. It was not that her brother was unable to take care of the situation before, but everything Zhang Mei did was to gain benefits for him, so he did not stand up.

"Are all men so evil?"

"Qingqing, my wife, you can't be implicated like this. I wouldn't do that. Aren't my actions enough to express it?" Cen Xi hugged her tighter.

"Don't hug me so tightly." Lin Qing suddenly became nervous, feeling that this posture was a bit dangerous.

"Don't worry! I won't do anything." Cen Xi rubbed her neck and whispered in her ear.

“Hehehe!”
