Chapter 173 He's father's money was invested by Zhang
"Cooperation? Father, you are not sincere enough."
He Xu sat there with a clear attitude, his eyebrows raised, and the aura of a superior was even greater than that of He's father.
He's father frowned: "Then what do you want?"
He Xu held Chen Tang's hand, his fingertips lightly tapping his knees, with a leisurely attitude: "Since Aunt Zhang came into the family, I have never been raised by my father. I heard that Grandpa gave you a lot of money. Shouldn't the child support that should be settled in the past 18 years be settled? After all, you are old, and legally I still have to support you."
Before He's father could say anything, He Qi, who was standing beside him, stood up angrily and said, "No, who do you think you are? If your mother hadn't separated my parents, would I still not be recognized by my grandfather? The money that my grandfather gave my father is all my father's. What kind of man are you if you, a son, are obsessed with the little money in my hand?"
He Xu: "Well said, father, as a son, what kind of man are you if you still think about that thing in grandpa's hand?"
He Qi's face turned pale: "Dad, that's not what I meant."
"Shut up!" He's father roared, and ordered Zhang: "It is indeed time to get married. Go to the house to get the money."
He Xu and Shen Tang looked at each other. It seemed that He's father had big plans.
Zhang reluctantly went back to her room and took out three hundred yuan, pushing it in front of the two of them: "Our family has spent a lot of money over the years, and there is not much left of the money your grandfather gave us. Now these are enough to raise a child, right?"
Three hundred yuan was the income for a working-class family for three years in the 1960s, and was considered wealthy in the countryside.
He Xu didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "If we calculate it over fifteen years, twenty yuan a year will ensure that half-grown children are at the stage of starvation. Aunt Zhang, you really understand the calculation. I will do the same in the future."
Father He pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking about. He stared at Zhang and said, "Go get another thousand."
Zhang felt bad and said, "We don't have that much money."
He's father's eyes became even colder: "Dad gave us several thousand yuan, and I earn nearly four hundred yuan a month, how can I be without money?"
Zhang hesitated and didn't dare to say that all the money of He's father was given to her for safekeeping, but it was all in cash, and there was only the little money given by the old man in the passbook.
This is how salaries were paid at that time. He's father had no habit of saving money in the passbook, and she never kept track of how much money she spent. After all, the family had never been short of money.
But a few days ago, her brother from her mother's side suddenly asked her to borrow several thousand yuan, saying that he had a friend who could buy a large number of precious items such as watches, radios, bicycles, etc. at the lowest price, and then sell them at a high price on the black market and make a fortune.
At that time, his younger brother's words were good, and they had already sold two or three lots. Zhang was extremely envious, so she tried to invest some of the money she had.
Those people don't need to sell the goods themselves, as long as they invest money, they can help them get the goods and sell them on the black market.
She invested one thousand first and made two thousand right away without even spending any time or effort.
Zhang immediately became arrogant and invested nearly five thousand yuan the second time. As a result, the other party said that their goods were seized and they could not get their money back.
She was heartbroken and was wondering what to do, but the other party said that they had other ways to buy defective bicycles and watches. In order to get her last investment back, she invested nearly ten thousand yuan.
Her brother's family also invested a lot, and they also asked relatives to invest together, buying as much as they could.
Everything was going smoothly until they were discovered when they were selling on the black market, and the items were confiscated. They only got back a small half of their investment, and were asked to continue investing.
Zhang was heartbroken after only getting 2,000 yuan back out of 10,000 yuan. However, her brother and his friend promised her solemnly that they would make the money back this time. They even wrote her a signed letter of guarantee, saying that they would make the money back for her even if they died. So she invested all the money she had.
What they never expected was that the people who went to sell the goods on the black market were arrested even though they didn’t even see the goods. The other party told them to pay more money and see if they could use their connections to get the goods back.
Zhang had never seen such a scam, but as He's father's wife, she knew that trading on the black market was illegal.
Now that people have gone in, they definitely can't get out. She was extremely panicked. Just as she was about to persuade her brother and his family not to vote, she heard the person who passed the message say that if they did not continue to vote, she would reveal their names.
She was shocked and angry, and asked her brother on the spot if he had said he would remain anonymous. But her brother said that he had revealed his name when they were about to sign a contract, and that he was his best friend anyway and would not lie to them.
In order to prevent He's father from finding out, Zhang had no choice but to continue investing money, thinking that if everyone invested so much money together, at least the mastermind could be caught.
But after investing money twice more, she found that the person still hadn't come out, and the other party's solemn promises were completely invalid.
She was afraid that He's father would find out, so she thought of using her connections to find out.
After some inquiries, I found out that there haven't been any major cases in the black market recently!
She was cheated!
Fortunately, she only touched a little of the money given by the old man for the division of the family property. It didn't matter as long as He's father didn't look at the money given by the old man. Anyway, the money in He's father's hands could be saved. She could find an excuse when the time came, saying that the house had been robbed.
But before she could erase it all, He Xu arrived.
Zhang was a brother-supporting demon, and He Xu had told Chen Tang about this a long time ago.
When she married the honest man who took over the business, she gave almost all the money she had to her younger brother. Her younger brother, who was like a treasure in the family, was fat and big-eared because of her. He never worked and relied on her to help buy cars and allocate houses.
After marrying He's father, she also helped find jobs for her two nephews.
Chen Tang and He Xu's purpose was not to expose Zhang's brother-supporting nature.
Their purpose from the beginning was to anger He Qi. They never thought that Zhang would make such a big fuss. Now seeing that she couldn't come up with the money, the two looked at each other, both pairs of eyes full of surprise.
Although He's father didn't think much of the Zhang family's children, he was not unaware of his wife's behavior.
But Zhang cried like rain, and the Zhang family also knew that they could not offend He's father too much. After her two nephews started working, they not only handed over a year's salary, but also bought some good wine and food to visit the He family from time to time. This made He's father turn a blind eye and not care about it.
He's father actually didn't know how much money Zhang secretly gave to the Zhang family.
As a man, he never takes care of household affairs.
After work, many people invite him to dinner. At work, he gives orders like an "emperor". On weekdays, everyone praises him and he doesn't care about the trivial matters at home.
Seeing that Zhang was silent, He Qi also became anxious: "Mom, you didn't give all the money to my uncle and two cousins, did you?"
He knew that Zhang was usually nice to her parents' family.
But she would not treat her son badly. He spent money lavishly on weekdays and was never stingy when treating his friends to dinner. She thought that Zhang had a lot of money in her hands and it was no big deal to "give" some to his two cousins and uncle. Besides, the two cousins were also good to him and would think of him for any good things.
But if Zhang took all the money out of the family...
Thinking of this, He Qi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he anxiously grabbed Zhang's hand: "Mom, where's the money? Please tell me something, did you forget where you put it? I'll go find it."
His father's salary over the years and what the old man gave him, add up to at least 10,000 or 20,000!
He was just asking why his mother was giving him less and less money these days!
Zhang's eyes dodged and suddenly tears fell. She knew that this matter could no longer be concealed, but she couldn't say this in front of He Xu!
The other party is so angry that they want to send her to jail!
