Chapter 110: The Scramble
After eating, my father and mother hugged Tongtong to watch cartoons, and Li Wei called Zhou Tong into his room. Li Wei said to Zhou Tong; "You will see what Shen Bingyan's attitude is tomorrow, if she wants to go back to Tongtong, you will return the house to her, and then you and Tongtong will move to my house." As for the alimony she gave, I'll go and get the money tomorrow, and I'll return it to her."
Although Li Wei doesn't have enough money in his hand now, and he still has to repay Ma Lin's money, but for Tongtong, Li Wei just goes out to borrow money again, and he also wants to return Shen Bingyan's money to her.
Zhou Tong knew what Li Wei meant, and he did this as a precautionary measure, returning the house and child support to Shen Bingyan, so that even if he went to court in the future, it would be easy to fight a lawsuit. After all, Zhou Tong lives in Shen Bingyan's house and takes the alimony she gave, and in the end, if the judge makes a judgment, this factor will also be taken into account, which is not very beneficial to Zhou Tong and Li Wei.
Zhou Tong hesitated for a while and said; "It's okay to give her back the house, but it's not good to live in your house, not to mention that your parents are still here."
Li Wei shook his head and said; "Don't think so, if you move out of Shen Bingyan's house and don't live in my house, my parents will have an opinion."
Zhou Tong still said with some hesitation; "Let's not talk about this matter first, you don't need to take the alimony given by Bingyan, I haven't spent the alimony she gave to Tongtong for more than two years, but I have saved it, and I will return it all to her tomorrow."
Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Li Wei was stunned, she didn't expect Zhou Tong to be prepared, maybe she had a premonition that this kind of thing would happen. In the past two years, Zhou Tong has relied on his own salary to support her and Tongtong, although he is not very rich, but Zhou Tong has never thought of using this money.
Li Wei said with a smile; "I haven't found out yet, it turns out that the simple and kind classmate Zhou Tong is still so scheming, it seems that I have to be careful in the future, let's go, let's talk about these thoughts to my parents."
After speaking, Li Wei didn't give Zhou Tong a chance to get mad, took her hand out of the room, and after finishing it on the sofa, Li Wei said; "Parents, the house that Zhou Tong wants to live in is Shen Bingyan's, I want her to return the house to Shen Bingyan, and let Zhou Tong and Tongtong move to our house, but Zhou Tong has some concerns."
My mother listened to Li Wei's words, hugged Tongtong and said happily; "Great, since we have a house, don't live in other people's houses, Xiaotong, don't worry, uncles and aunts welcome you and Tongtong over."
Zhou Tong said; "I understand, but if I move in now, I don't feel good, I'm afraid of gossip."
Dad nodded and said; "Yes, then you live here for a period of time first, and then your aunt and I will pay for you and Tongtong to buy a house, although we can't afford the full amount, but it's no problem to get a down payment, and let Li Wei pay you back the mortgage."
Although my mother was dissatisfied that my father did not discuss it with her, but decided this matter without his own opinion, she still said with a smile; "Xiaotong, your uncle is right, we also have some money now, we originally wanted to buy a house for Li Wei, but now that he has finished buying a house, we don't need our money, we can't spend this money, buy a house for you and Tongtong, it will be regarded as a gift from us to my granddaughter."
Originally, it was said that Zhou Tong would come to live, and now he wants to buy her a house, but now Zhou Tong is a little overwhelmed and doesn't know what to say.
Li Wei didn't give Zhou Tong a chance to speak, he said with a smile; "Okay, let's just say it, I'll look for a house in a few days."
Mom put Tongtong on the sofa, stood up and struck while the iron was hot; "Xiaotong, let's go to your house to pack up our things first, and you and Tongtong will move in tomorrow."
Zhou Tong nodded and said; "Okay." Then Zhou Tong and his mother came to Zhou Tong's house.
It was already past nine o'clock after my mother and Zhou Tong packed up their things, and after they came back, Zhou Tong took Tongtong home to sleep. Mom and dad also went back to the house.
Li Wei saw that there was no one in the living room, and said to the big fat lying at his feet; "Let's go, big fat, let's go back to the house and sleep."
Hearing Li Wei's scream, Da Fat wagged his tail and followed Li Wei back to the house.
The next morning, Li Wei drove Zhou Tong and Tongtong in a car, and they sent Tongtong to the kindergarten first, and then Zhou Tong made a phone call to Shen Bingyan and made an appointment to meet at a café in the city center. Li Wei sent Zhou Tong there and waited in the car.
After entering the café, Zhou Tong found a remote place to sit down, asked for another cup of coffee, and began to wait for Shen Bingyan.
After half an hour, Shen Bingyan came over, Shen Bingyan saw Zhou Tong, sat down opposite her, and asked for a cup of coffee. Then neither of them spoke, the atmosphere seemed to be frozen, Zhou Tong wanted to open his mouth to say something several times, but he didn't say it.
Shen Bingyan spoke first; "Xiaotong, do you know why I came back?"
Zhou Tong nodded and said; "You know, your parents have immigrated to the United States now, you should come back for Tongtong, right?"
Shen Bingyan said with a smile; "Yes, I want to bring Tongtong to the United States and hand it over to my parents to raise, they didn't know about Tongtong before, but now they know, so they want me to bring Tongtong back."
Zhou Tong looked at Shen Bingyan and said; "Impossible, you don't care about Tongtong at all, you haven't cared about her at all in the past two years, except for giving Tongtong child support, it's impossible for Li Wei and I to return her to you."
Shen Bingyan said self-deprecatingly; "I knew it was the result, but Tongtong is my daughter after all! We used to be best friends, and as long as you give Tongtong back to me, we will still be best friends. ”
Zhou Tong shook his head and said; "No, do you know how much effort I have spent in the past two years to raise Tongtong, when Tongtong was just weaned, you went to the United States and left Tongtong to me. At that time, I was just a girl who had just graduated from college, and I had to be taken care of by others, but I had to take care of Tongtong for you, how hard I worked, do you know? And now that I have regarded Tongtong as my daughter, but you want to snatch her, I tell you, it is impossible. ”
Shen Bingyan said mockingly; "Heart's work? Laborious? I'll give you a house to live in, and I will give you $2,000 a month in child support, is this called hard work? If it's hard work, I think there are a lot of people who have to rush to do it. ”
"Really? So you think so. Shen Bingyan's words completely pierced Zhou Tong's heart, she has always regarded Shen Bingyan as her best friend, and she did not hesitate to help her take care of Tongtong at the beginning. But now Shen Bingyan said such things, and then Zhou Tong understood that she was wishful thinking, she regarded Shen Bingyan as her best friend, but Shen Bingyan used money to measure the relationship between them.
Zhou Tong took out a key from his bag, and threw a bank card on the table and said; "This is the key to the house, I will move out today, there are 64,000 US dollars in this card, all of which are the child support you remitted to me, I haven't touched a cent, the password is six zeros, you go check it yourself, now we are cut in two, if you still want to rob Tongtong with me, then I will accompany you to the end."
After speaking, Zhou Tong took the bag and left, Shen Bingyan wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything, looking at the keys and bank cards on the table, her mood became very complicated.
