Chapter 64: Bringing My Daughter to Ask for Money
"Can't die. I spoke.
"I really didn't know that you were injured trying to catch the gangsters, I just found out when I watched the news today. Zhang Dan continued to speak, as if she was begging for my forgiveness.
If it was an ordinary family conflict, how could I care about these things before, but now it has changed.
Zhang Dan, this woman who has been married to me for seven years has changed, she makes me feel strange, and even terrifying, she will be adopted, and will do whatever it takes to divorce me, to occupy my house, to break up the family that I thought was very happy.
"What's the point of talking about this now, you have given me the divorce agreement. I looked at Zhang Dan.
Hearing me say this, Zhang Dan's face stiffened a little, as if she was struggling with something.
"If there's nothing, don't talk about it. I got up and said.
"Chen Nan, it's me who is wrong. Zhang Dan continued to speak.
"No, what's wrong with you?" I looked at the woman I once loved in front of me, for this woman, I started a business outside to report good news and not bad news, for this family, I accompanied the customer to get drunk like mud, just to sign a paper order, for her, I even rebelled, even the parents in my hometown were estranged.
"I--" Zhang Dan said.
"Zhang Dan, my business failed, I have no money, I was fired for delivering a takeaway, you must think I'm particularly incompetent, right?" I laughed miserably, I knew that I was really a failure, and I couldn't even keep a home.
"Chen Nan, after arguing with you today, I went back and thought about it a lot. Zhang Dan paused, her breathing began to shorten: "You have paid a lot for this family, you have always been so good, my brother got married and bought a house, you also did your best, maybe my mother and my brother have also caused a lot of pressure on you over the years, they have not supported you when you need help, and even always trouble you to do things for them, but have you ever thought about me? Do you know how difficult it is for me to be caught in the middle?"
"Is that why you want to divorce me and get me out of the house?" I asked rhetorically.
"Can you not talk about the divorce first?" Zhang Dan pursed her lips, as if she had mustered up the courage to say this.
"What, you're not going to get divorced?" I frowned.
"Chen Nan, our relationship over the years is not just about breaking up, can you give me some time?" Zhang Dan continued.
"I'm sorry, you hurt me, you and Xu Jiani were at home that day, and they already hurt me. I spoke.
"Jiani has always been outspoken, she is my best friend, she must be on my side, but I didn't expect her to speak so hurtfully. Zhang Dan explained.
Something is wrong, today's Zhang Dan is very wrong, she will actually change her previous attitude, with the intention of compromising with me, this is what I didn't expect, I thought that after this incident happened this morning, she would completely tear her face with me, but she didn't?
Why, what was she thinking? This woman made me more and more incomprehensible.
"Tell me, what's going on?" I said.
"I read the news, you seem to have taken a bonus of 100,000 yuan, which is a reward for your righteous and courageous deeds, is there such a thing?" Zhang Dan smiled awkwardly and continued.
"What's going on, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Dandan has started school, all kinds of interest classes have tuition, after the failure of the seafood business, our family has no savings, but the children's education is very important, so I--" Zhang Dan said this, she stopped talking and looked at me complicatedly.
"So you're going to ask me if I'm going to pay for my daughter's tuition when I'm going to get the bonus?" I asked.
Yes, the business of the previous year left the originally wealthy family destitute, and we really don't have much savings, otherwise I wouldn't have been guilty of delivering food to subsidize the family, and I know this very well.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I got the money, Zhang Dan took the initiative to make peace, hoping that I could bear my daughter's tuition.
In the morning, she said that she didn't need me to bear the maintenance of her daughter, and now she actually gave me a reversal.
"Chen Nan, Duoduo is our biological flesh and blood, parents hope that their children can win at the starting line, I really have no choice, so I asked you to speak. Zhang Dan continued.
"Doesn't Zhang Jun have any money? Doesn't your mother help out?" I looked at Zhang Dan.
"You also know my younger brother, he has no savings, the money has been repaid the mortgage, as for my parents, how can I use their pension money. Zhang Dan argued.
"Didn't my parents' pension money be taken out for you as a bride price, they didn't have the money to renovate the house, can't your parents' money be moved? And it's not that they don't borrow it or not, in addition, Lin Jun, their family bought a house and paid us back for a down payment, can't we ask him to borrow a little?" I suddenly became unhappy.
"I'm a married daughter, my parents' money will definitely be given to my brother, I took my brother and my brother's daughter-in-law will definitely quarrel with me, now I live with my mother, I'm afraid that my brother and daughter-in-law will say that I gnaw at the old. In the end, Zhang Dan was a little embarrassed.
Ay!
How could I have this wife, how could I have this brother-in-law and this mother-in-law?
I can't help but feel that I am not worthy, and this is how I became a wage earner of their family step by step.
"Chen Nan, my daughter's tuition fee has been urged several times, and the teacher of the interest class has also looked for me a few times, you know that I am a face-loving person. Zhang Dan continued.
"So for the sake of face, let them say that I am worthless? You even want to divorce me for the sake of face?" I gritted my teeth.
"Chen Nan, I'm not here to quarrel with you tonight. Zhang Dan's mood fluctuated.
"Dad, don't quarrel with Mom. My daughter suddenly walked out of the bedroom and ran towards us.
"Mom didn't quarrel with Dad, Duoduo was obedient and went into the house. Zhang Dan leaned down and comforted his daughter.
"Dad, Mom said that there was no money to pay for my tuition, and Mom said that I could get the first place in the interest class. The daughter hurriedly spoke.
Hearing my daughter's words, my insistence was completely destroyed, I know that my daughter is now in the first grade, the foundation is very important, how the parents are arguing, the child is always innocent, besides, this is my biological daughter, not an outsider, and I should pay her tuition.
"Say, how much?" I exhaled.
"Three, thirty thousand. Zhang Dan said busily.
"So many?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Although the school took online classes some time ago, the tuition fee could not be bad, and now they have resumed work, and each interest class should still be reported, and it is still cheap. Zhang Dan continued.
"Okay. I nodded.
"Chen Nan, my daughter will buy some clothes and shoes for the new semester, how do you say that she also needs to order a brand, the child has a long body, and the clothes will soon be no longer worn, can you add more?" Zhang Dan then burst out, she picked up her daughter and looked at me expectantly.
"My parents have been renovating the house for more than half a year, and they don't know about the failure of my business, and I have to give them at least 60,000 yuan of my 100,000 yuan, and I will also spend it. I hurriedly said.
"Then, 30,000 is 30,000. Zhang Dan smiled awkwardly.
