Chapter 48: The End of the Court
"Ring-ring-ring-" Before Zhang He finished his cigarette, his mobile phone rang again.
I saw a group of numbers displayed on the mobile phone screen, and the words "unfamiliar number" were prompted under the number. But Zhang He immediately raised his head helplessly and blew hard. Because he knows this set of numbers, it is the mobile phone number of his fourth aunt.
Zhang He reluctantly pressed the answer button and called the fourth aunt on the phone.
Seeing that there was no sound on the other end of the phone, Zhang He said "Hey" again.
"Beibei, are you okay, have you played well enough?" As soon as the fourth aunt came up, she gave Zhang He a strange sentence.
"What's the good enough fun? What's the matter?" Zhang He replied angrily.
"You don't have to fill me with garlic, and there's no one else but you. Did you provoke them to sue me?" said the fourth aunt sharply.
"Hey, tell me about the court, I just answered the phone. Zhang He didn't give any explanation, but replied in a calm tone,
"I originally said that when you settle down there, you call me, and I will transfer you 50,000 yuan, I really didn't expect you to join forces with them. I've hurt you for so many years, and when I played such a hand with (liao), it's really a white-eyed wolf. Tell you! You don't even think about money, and I won't give it to you when I throw it on the street. The fourth aunt first expressed her "grievances" with a hint of crying, and then reprimanded Zhang He's "ingratitude" in a stern tone. But Zhang He could hear that his fourth aunt should have been stimulated a lot at this moment, and she probably didn't expect that her "muffled secret" after "taking advantage" would have such a serious ending. (Stuffy lamp secret: Beijing vernacular, which means that after getting cheap, there is no indication at all, pretending to be stupid and stunned, and not saying a word)
"Hey, are you done venting?" Zhang He sighed helplessly.
"I haven't finished venting!" the fourth aunt roared.
"If you don't finish venting, you will continue to vent, and I will talk about it when you are done. ”
"You say, I think you can say something?" the fourth aunt said sternly.
"Let me say yes, yes? Zhang He suddenly straightened his face, shot his eyes viciously out of the window, and said word by word: "I only learned about the court today, and I don't know what is going on." I haven't seen any of you in the past six months, and none of you have called me. And for so many years, I haven't thought about anyone's money, and I haven't taken it seriously, no matter who promised it. I did back then, when you were in cahoots with them and wanted to drive me away, I let you go on the phone, saying "If you want to divide the family, you must divide your room together", but that was angry talk, and I never mentioned this stubble with anyone. If you think I'm the one who picked it up, I can't help it. That's all I have to say, you can think as much as you like. At this point, there was silence on both sides of the phone.
It wasn't until a long time had passed that the fourth aunt spoke, "It's really not you?" and her tone was obviously much softer than just now. But Zhang He didn't speak, because he didn't bother to explain anything more.
"It's not Beibei, it must be the boss and the fifth who make it bad. Zhang He suddenly heard the voice of his fourth aunt on the phone.
"It turns out that the fourth aunt's mobile phone has always been hands-free, and it seems that this sudden lawsuit is not light. Zhang He said secretly in his heart.
"Have you forgotten the day you got the money last time?" said the fourth aunt as if he had suddenly come to his senses.
"What happened the day I got the money?" Zhang He became interested.
"Eh, let me ask you first, why didn't you go on the day you got the money last time? Did you tell them about it?" The fourth aunt's voice hardened again, and she didn't know what she remembered.
"I'm moving to make room for someone! After the people transfer the money, this house is someone else's. Besides, didn't they all keep their card numbers on the day they signed?" Seeing that the fourth aunt's words seemed to be about to throw out some conspiracy theories, Zhang He's tone also became stiff.
"Then do you know that they care about my money?" said the fourth aunt tirelessly and tentatively.
"Where do I know where to go? Don't blow up? I'll tell you again, I haven't seen any of you on the phone since I signed it. Zhang He was completely annoyed.
"Okay, okay, okay, listen to me. Didn't you go that day, the four of us went. They transferred the money in front of us, and they left. I said I'd be glad to invite them to dinner. But none of them worked, so they directly pressed me into the bank, saying that I would transfer half of it to your aunt and give her 300,000 yuan directly. I said why? They said that I didn't occupy my grandmother's apartment back then, and your aunt was laid off and lived with her parents-in-law, so let me help out..."
Before the fourth aunt finished speaking, Zhang He interrupted: "Wait a while, my aunt is not doing well, so let you give 300,000 yuan? Isn't it because of the grandson of the sister-in-law? How difficult is it for their family? The money spent on stock speculation alone is more than 2 million. ”
"Why don't you understand? The meaning of the family is that as long as I give your aunt money, they will no longer mention my suite, and the two sides will be counted. The fourth aunt said.
"Then you gave it to her, right?" asked Zhang He with a displeased face.
"I didn't give it! I said I promised to give Beibei 100,000. If you want to move the money again, you have to go home and discuss it with your fourth aunt first. The fourth aunt said.
"Cut, just now they said that they would transfer 50,000 to me when I settle down, and now they said that they would give me 100,000. If they do, I'm a shield. Zhang He only felt that his fourth aunt was very ridiculous, so he only asked casually: "What about later?"
"Later, they saw that I didn't want to give it, so they changed their words and said, if you don't give 200,000 yuan, forget it, let me not give it to you, and if I give it to you, I have to let you spend it blindly. The fourth aunt said.
"Hehe, what is the reaction of that little aunt?" Zhang He said with a smile.
"How can your aunt react? I sat next to me and didn't come at all, and all the words were said by your aunt and third aunt. She's a coward, and she's always used people as guns. To tell you the truth, it was your aunt who asked you to move out and sell the house back then, saying that you were not filial to your grandmother and had to treat you. ”
"Hehe, unfilial! Hey, what about later?" Zhang He was amused.
"What's later, it's gone. What's the matter, I'm still in a hurry to invite them to dinner? For so many years, as long as I went out, I invited them, and her mother used to make problems with them. It's as if I'm a head below them when I occupy a suite. It's okay this time, and I'll save it later. In the past, I used to feed the dogs. The fourth aunt said indignantly.
"Fourth aunt, wait a minute, I have a phone here, yo, from our travel agency. Zhang He couldn't listen anymore, so he lied that the unit was calling.
"Okay, you can take it, I'll hang up!" The fourth aunt immediately hung up the phone.
Zhang He threw his mobile phone back into the sofa, opened the window and lit a cigarette, he didn't know what kind of mood he was in at this time, he only felt that his mind was blank. Therefore, after a long time, he slowly came back to his senses, shook his head at the white clouds floating in the sky with tears in his eyes, and said with a smile: "These are the good girls you raised!"
A week later, Zhang He came to the courthouse as promised.
As soon as he stepped into the door of the court hall, he was startled, and for a moment he forgot all these worries. Because what he saw in front of him was no longer the scene of the door in his memory, but instead of a "long line" meandering and waiting for the security check, and everyone was not as secretive as before, covering their faces with masks for fear of embarrassment, and they were all "unscrupulous" with the front and rear, and they didn't know whether it was their family members or others who were telling their "case" to themselves.
This could not help but make Zhang He very emotional: "Is this due to the enhancement of the concept of the legal system? Or is it the indifference of human feelings and the degradation of morality? How can there be so many people? Shouldn't the courts be inaccessible? Why has it become a "vegetable market" now? Look, what are you wearing? Why are you wearing a torn shirt, big pants, and leather slippers?" Although it was the end of July, the hottest time in Beijing, Zhang He still chose to wear a formal suit, because in his heart, the court was definitely a place that was both serious and sacred.
"Hey! It sounds like it's all the same as our family, it's all because of the house, it seems that it's not just my aunt who is crazy, every family is accepting the "baptism" of the times" Zhang He, who was in the middle of the line, helplessly took out his headphones and listened to the song.
After passing the security check and asking the location of the No. 3 courtroom of the staff, Zhang He ran to the second floor on his feet.
"Beibei, where is it!" As soon as Zhang He ran to the corner of the stairs, he saw the little aunt who was standing at the staircase on the second floor talking to the eldest aunt and third aunt beckoning to him, her expression was so amiable, as if she had returned to the past.
"I also said that they were one step ahead of them, why did they gather at nine o'clock. Zhang He, who wanted to sit in Hall 3 one step earlier and wait for his aunts to come in one by one, so as to avoid being embarrassed to enter under their gaze, still miscalculated. At that moment, I had to go up to the second floor with a smile and greet the aunts: "Auntie, third aunt, auntie, why are you so early?"
Cheap bones, really cheap bones, the moment Zhang He saw his aunt, he completely forgot the grievances of three years ago and the pain of renting a house with his family in the past year, and he naturally felt a wave of excitement in his heart to see his relatives.
"I'm afraid of traffic jams, so come out early. The aunt glanced at the two sisters and said.
"How did you get here?" said the aunt with a straight face.
"Coming by bus. Zhang He smiled.
"Did your fourth aunt call you?" the aunt asked after glancing at the aunt.
"I called, and as soon as I hung up the phone of my aunt, the phone of the fourth aunt came in. Zhang He said.
"What did I tell you?" the third aunt asked, looking at the eldest and younger aunts.
"I didn't say anything, I just felt very aggrieved. said that I thought that when I settled down, I would call her, and she would transfer 100,000 yuan to me, and then give it to my aunt. I didn't expect it to end up like this. Zhang He is serious.
"Your fourth aunt is Hu Qin!" The aunt's eyes immediately widened, and the eldest aunt and the third aunt also put on a sneering expression at the same time.
I only heard my aunt raise her voice a little and said: "She said to transfer money to you? Come on, do you believe her? You ask your aunt, is it that the Neitian family has just finished transferring the money, and we will ask her to transfer it to you, but guess what she said? She said that she gave it to you, and she had to let you spend it blindly." ”
"Your aunt is right. The aunt took the aunt's words and continued: "I told her. I originally said that she should transfer a little bit for you and your aunt, and it doesn't take too much, one person can transfer 50,000 yuan, just mean it. Why, she used to own a suite by herself! But do you know what your fourth aunt said? She said that when the family didn't recognize her, every time you went, she had to give you fifty hundred. For several years, I didn't save at all, but I spent more than I used to spend when I went to see my grandmother every month. I don't know if you really have filial piety, or if you have tasted the sweetness, anyway, you are allowed to go to their house once a month. I'm annoying to her, I don't have a trick. She also said that your aunt can pretend, actually..."
Zhang He's ears seemed to be suddenly deaf, so that he could no longer hear what his aunt said later, and could only see his aunt's mouth moving. Because the information just now has completely subverted his three views, he never thought that his "uniqueness" back then was not moved by the fourth aunt, but by people's disgust towards him.
Zhang He's expression began to become more and more ugly, and he didn't wait for his aunt to finish speaking, so he suddenly interjected with a wry smile: "The fourth aunt gives me money every time, but I have never gone to her house empty-handed? Besides, the money was also shoehorned in by her, and it wasn't what I wanted. Every time I go to her house, I either eat noodles or clean up leftovers, do I take care of it? How can she say that?"
"You just know who your fourth aunt is? Why did we help grandma treat her back then? Do you think we are just doing it for some money? Are we lacking? We just can't swallow this breath? Why did she take advantage of her, and she always felt how wronged she was, and she was always justified by herself, and no one else was right? You Beibei, we were too lazy to pay attention to you back then, and we always talked about family and everything. How can the family be reconciled? One person occupies all of them, and they still think that they should be shared! Then everyone else looks at it, and this is the same? You were a little back then!" The aunt saw that Zhang He had finally come to the road, and she was busy and added a few words in a low voice.
It's a pity that her words seem a bit more complicated for Zhang He at the moment, and inadvertently calmed down Zhang He, and began to secretly say in his heart: "There is a version on this side, who should I believe? Are your three aunts really just for one breath? Then you kicked me out for one breath? But before my grandmother died, I made it clear to you that I would not fight for a house, and as long as I applied for affordable housing, I would move out." But what did you do? Hey, the fourth aunt did not show much enthusiasm when I went to her house back then, and I believe that she must have said those words, but it was certainly not what you said this time, and it must have been said when you were embarrassed. Ay. It's really stupid, I want to get a piece of the pie, but I was sold in the end. Oh, that's dramatic. What else do I have to be surprised and angry about? It's all gone, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, and I won't see you again anyway. There is nothing in the world, and mediocrity disturbs itself. ”
Thinking of this, Zhang He's expression suddenly eased a lot. So, I saw him smile again, and said to the three aunts in front of him: "Hey, you are right, I was not deeply involved in the world back then. What's the matter, let's go in now. ”
"The lawyer hasn't come yet?" replied.
"Have you hired a lawyer?" Zhang He said with wide eyes in surprise.
"Ah, just our lawsuit, 20,000 yuan!" said the aunt as if distressed.
"Damn, it's really okay, and I hired a lawyer. Heh, it seems that I am still easy to deal with, and I can win without recruiting troops and buying horses. Zhang He sighed in his heart.
"Hey, I can't let you bear it alone, when the lawsuit is over, let's bear it together. The aunt glanced at Zhang Hedao. But Zhang He didn't react, just smiled, and coincidentally, his phone rang at this time.
"Yo, the fourth aunt is here, I'll go downstairs to pick it up. Zhang He glanced at his mobile phone, and then ran downstairs.
"Fourth aunt and fourth uncle. As soon as he walked to the security checkpoint, Zhang He saw the fourth aunt and the fourth aunt who were queuing up to prepare for the security check.
"Are they here?" asked the fourth aunt with an ugly expression as soon as she passed through the security check.
"It's all here. Zhang He replied.
The fourth aunt immediately stopped when she heard this, subconsciously glanced at the top of the stairs, and then pulled Zhang He aside, and said: "If you help me today, I will definitely not treat you badly, your fourth aunt has said it, and when this lawsuit is over, I will transfer money to you immediately." ”
"Hey, I've said it more than 8,000 times, and I don't want your money. Zhang He said helplessly.
"If you say you'll give it to you, you'll give it to you! You've moved out here, and it's not easy, and you're still bringing two children. Eh, how old is the little one now?" said the fourth aunt as if concerned.
"Hmph, when you called and heard a baby crying, asked what was going on, I said that the second child was born, what did you say at the time, "There is a second child, and he is not leaving." Zhang He looked at the fourth aunt's eyes, and instantly remembered his grievances.
But there is a saying that "the country is easy to change and difficult to move", since he finally looked forward to the care of his "relatives", he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and posted a photo of his daughter, which naturally became what he wanted to do the most.
