Chapter 134: Talking about money
Beijing, Zhangzhai.
The atmosphere was urgent and depressing, there were obviously four people sitting in the living room, but there was no sound at all, everyone was like a gourd with a sawed mouth, and no one said a word.
Although Zhang Yizhi's face was not as angry as when he first saw the news, it was by no means much better.
After a long time, he sighed and said, "Wanmei, we really don't agree to you and Cheng'er getting married, but Cheng'er insisted, and we had no choice but to give up." You married into our Zhang family, Cheng'er and I didn't point to you to share our worries and solve problems, nor did we expect you to be filial piety in front of the couch, just look forward to you and Cheng'er and Meimei.
Cheng'er has also been pampered since she was a child, and she has always been clothed to reach out for food and open her mouth. But he has done four jobs for you after coming to Beijing, doing laundry and cooking, and he has done everything in this job, what are you not satisfied with?
Usually you buy and buy in addition to drinking and dancing, Cheng'er spoils you and is used to you, he is willing to do this as a husband, and our in-laws will naturally not say a word more to you. However, no matter what you do outside, you shouldn't disgrace our Zhang family. β
Lu Wanmei clasped her arms around her chest, leaned on the sofa, and listened to her father-in-law Zhang Yizhi unexpectedly. Then her eyes narrowed slightly, she snorted coldly, and said, "What's the matter? Your son is working four jobs, and you feel distressed?" Suddenly, she leaned forward, her eyes widened, and she said viciously: "Who caused Zhang Shengcheng's exhaustion and exhaustion all day long? If you, an iron rooster with no hair, are willing to give your son some pocket money every month, if you give him the share of the family property that belongs to Zhang Shengcheng in advance, why would he make himself so tired? If Zhang Shengcheng can meet my requirements financially, why should I go to others to laugh and curry favor and let people with good intentions take advantage of the loopholes to make the news? Hmph, in the final analysis, all this is caused by your stinginess. It's not that I humiliated your Zhang family, it was your stinginess that disgraced your Zhang family. β
"Lu Wanmei, don't impose the mistakes you made on my father's head. Zhang Shengcheng said clearly in a cold voice: "I have long said that the property of the Zhang family, everything in the Zhang family, is earned by my father alone, whether he gives it to me or not, or whoever he wants to give it is his freedom, I have no right to interfere, and you have no right to say anything." β
Lu Wan's eyebrows turned, and he gritted his teeth and yelled at Zhang Shengcheng: "You are his son, why didn't he give it to you?"
Mrs. Zhang, who didn't say a word on the side, just shook her head and lamented, suddenly said: "According to your meaning, you are still the daughter of your parents, so after you and Cheng'er get married, can your mother's family give you a penny?"
Lu Wanmei was stunned, obviously she didn't expect her mother-in-law, who had never had a sense of existence, to block her with words.
However, she didn't take it seriously, she smiled lightly and said: "As the old saying goes, the water spilled by a married daughter, why should I, a married daughter, still reach out to my mother's family to ask for money?"
The point is, she can't do anything if she wants to reach out to her mother's family. Since she and her ex-fiancΓ© Wang Chao repented of their marriage, her father's career has plummeted, and finally ended up in a pastoral retreat.
Although the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, there are too many brothers and sisters. The little things at home are not enough for her brothers and brothers to divide up, so how can it be her turn.
When the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, Mrs. Zhang heard the words and took the words over again and said: "The old saying is also said, marry your husband, honor your in-laws, abide by the three subordinates, and abide by the four virtues." What did you do?"
"I ......" Lu Wanmei was suddenly blocked, and her face was ugly.
In an instant, Mrs. Zhang said again: "When a woman becomes a relative, she should have the appearance of a relative." Not to mention that you should regard your husband as your god, but at least you should stick to your wife's duty, right?"
After a while, Zhang Yizhi said: "The matter has already happened, and it is too late to say anything now." In case there is a next time, you should end everything here as soon as possible, and then go back to Baoding. Cheng'er helps me take care of my business, Wanmei, you can cultivate yourself at home. β
Listening to his father's words, Zhang Shengcheng's heart slipped through a touch of disappointment. Lu Wanmei had such a big scandal, he thought that his father would definitely ask him to divorce his wife in order to take care of the face of the Zhang family, but he didn't expect that his father just banned her feet.
If they really went back to Baoding Mansion, then how could Lu Wanmei continue to hook up with Zou Dashao? How could he have the opportunity to wait for her to take the initiative to divorce?
Lu Wanmei's actions Zhang Yizhi and his wife have long been out of sight, why don't they want their son to take a break from this woman who ruined the court?
However, when his son and Kang Yurong divorced, he was infamous for treachery and abandoning his wife and children. If Lu Wanmei is retired now, it will not only be his son, but even the entire Zhang family will not be able to tell what people will be scolded.
The tree wants bark, the person wants the face, although he and the old woman are both half-buried people in the loess, they still want this old face.
Zhang Yizhi's words were not finished yet, only Lu Wanmei sneered, and said in an indifferent tone: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it." His gaze turned to Zhang Shengcheng's face and said, "Zhang Shengcheng, let's get a divorce." β
"What?" Zhang Yizhi and his wife said in unison.
Lu Wanmei said disappreliantly: "What's all the fuss? Your son has been waiting for me to say this for a long time." β
Mrs. Zhang asked, "Cheng'er, is what she said true?" and you agree to divorce her?"
Zhang Shengcheng nodded.
Zhang Shengcheng nodded without hesitation, which caused Lu Wanmei to sneer coldly, she pouted and said, "Of course he agreed, get rid of me, so that he can chase his ex-wife back as soon as possible." I have a lot of relationship with Zou Dashao, and your son and your ex-daughter-in-law are also fighting hotly. Lu Wan's face was full of mockery.
"Cheng'er, is this true?" Mrs. Zhang looked at her son and asked again, there was no reproach in her tone, and she could vaguely hear a hint of expectation.
This time, Zhang Yizhi was also staring at his son for a moment, waiting for his son's answer.
To be honest, the couple couldn't be more satisfied with Kang Yurong's daughter-in-law. It's just that their stupid son was blinded by the new idea, couldn't tell the difference between good and bad, and mistook the pearl for a fish's eye and discarded it ruthlessly.
Yu Rong is not married yet, and if his son really has the heart to repent, they will naturally try their best to promote it.
Zhang Shengcheng hurriedly glanced at his parents and bowed his head in acquiescence.
Zhang Yizhi and his wife looked at each other and knew it.
Lu Wanmei looked at Zhang Shengcheng, and the mockery in his eyes was even stronger. After a while, she said: "Zhang Shengcheng, I will help you achieve what you want, and you must also agree to my request." β
Zhang Sheng asked, "What requirements?"
Lu Wanmei said: "After we sign the divorce, you have to make a statement in the newspaper that we divorced two years ago. β
Zhang Shengcheng frowned: "Since we have been divorced a long time ago, how can we explain that we have always lived together?"
Lu Wanmei gave the answer: "Let's just say that we divorced because we didn't vote." But because my mother-in-law and I get along very well, my mother-in-law didn't want me to leave, so she recognized me as a daughter, so we are now brother and sister. β
These are not what Lu Wanmei meant, it was completely Zou Dashao who taught her to do this.
It was Zou's father's political enemies who broke the Zou Dashao scandal, and the purpose was, of course, to pull Zou off the horse. In order to save the face of the Zou family, and in order not to let the opponent succeed, Zou Dashao could only make this decision.
As long as Lu Wanmei and Zhang Shengcheng are divorced, as long as Zhang Shengcheng makes a statement, then Zou Dashao and Lu Wanmei are unmarried men and unmarried women, and their relationship will be normal, so the scandal will be self-defeating.
In order to avoid the criticism of others, Lu Wanmei can only act according to the plan. In addition, Young Master Zou promised her, and they would get married as soon as the turmoil passed. So, what else did she have to hesitate about?
Listening to what Lu Wanmei said, if it weren't for the upbringing, Mrs. Zhang couldn't wait to take a bite of this thick-faced woman. The heart said, it is Yu Rong who gets along with me very well, and it is also Yu Rong who is divorced and recognized as a daughter. Just like you, if you don't make me angry, I'll burn high incense, and I still recognize you as a daughter, I'm full?
Zhang Yizhi was also disgusted by Lu Wanmei's unashamed words, and was about to object, but he didn't expect his son to gag him first.
Zhang Shengcheng lightly spit out two words: "It's easy to say." β
Lu Wanmei saw that Zhang Shengcheng agreed, and immediately took out two divorce agreements from the room.
Zhang Shengcheng took a look, and Lu Wanmei had already signed it and pressed her handprint. At the witness's place, two unfamiliar names were written, but both were handprinted. In other words, as long as he Zhang Shengcheng signs and draws on it, then his marriage with Lu Wanmei will be officially dissolved.
After reading it, Zhang Shengcheng couldn't wait to take out a pen from his pocket and was about to sign it, but Lu Wanmei suddenly took the agreement away from the coffee table.
Zhang Shengcheng frowned and looked at her unhappily.
Lu Wanmei didn't look at him at all, but said to Zhang Yizhi with a light smile: "Master Zhang, I know that you and Mrs. Zhang have always been dissatisfied with me. Now that I have taken the initiative to divorce your son, I have done a good thing for you, but I can't do this good thing in vain. "Even if she wanted a divorce, she couldn't leave empty-handed.
Zhang Yizhi asked directly: "How much do you want?"
Lu Wanmei smiled again and said, "Although I don't call your heart, when I married your son, I was also a yellow flower girl." Based on this, how much do you think you should give?"
Zhang Yizhi said: "Five hundred yuan." β
As soon as he heard this number, Lu Wanmei's face immediately turned cold.
She sneered and said: "Master Zhang, they are all daughters-in-law, even if they have to be treated differently, they can't be so bad, right? I remember when Kang Yurong left, you gave her one-third of the family property, if I remember correctly, the property in Beijing is now in her name, right? Give her so much, and give me five hundred yuan when you come here, do you really say it?"
"Why can't I say it?" Zhang Yizhi asked rhetorically, saying: "Don't say that after Yurong left it for our Zhang family, just say that your words and deeds can catch up with half of Yurong, and I will also give you family property and a mansion." But can you catch up?"
"You ......" Lu Wanmei couldn't say a word except for his dry glare.
Zhang Shengcheng looked at his unwavering father, and then at the angry Lu Wanmei, and opened his mouth lightly.
