8th Story 7
Zhang’s mother was stunned, with a flash of indignation in her eyes, and then forced a smile and said: “If it was in the past, I would have bought the house for Awei before marriage without saying a word, but now, our family really doesn’t have the ability. Now we have to send money back from Awei every month to live. It’s nothing compared to my in-law, who owns a house and pays 3,000 yuan a month as a pension. Alas, if it’s me as in-law, I’m sure I sold the house for Awei to buy a house. It’s a pity that we didn’t have such a good life as my in-law. At the beginning, our business failed, and now there was nothing left.”
Li Yueran laughed, “What does in-law mean? Do you want me to sell this house and buy it for Ah Wei and Hui Hui?”
Zhang’s mother smiled and said nothing, but Li Yueran shook her head, “This is not possible. You didn’t take money for the wedding, and I didn’t want a bride price. I also gave a dowry of more than 200,000 yuan, and now I sell the house to Awei to buy a house, wouldn’t Awei become a ‘married in’ man? Although I don’t care about it, I guess in-law will not agree, right?”
When Zhang’s mother hearing this, her face immediately changed, “My in-law is joking! We only have Ah Wei in our family, how could we let him marry in? It’s impossible.”
“That’s what I said. So, for the sake of Ah Wei’s reputation after thinking about it, I can’t afford to buy a house for Awei and Huihui. I can’t let people say that Awei is a badass!” Li Yueran said with a smile.
Mother Zhang’s face was pale with anger, Zhu Hui turned pale when she saw her at the side, “Mom, what are you talking about!” Then she quickly brought a cup of tea for Mother Zhang, “Mom, drink some tea, don’t be angry.”
Zhang’s mother pushed Zhu Hui’s arm away and stood up, “I understand what my in-law means. But I also advise my in-law, don’t be too selfish, you only have Huihui as a child. Is it possible that my in-law thinks that you will not be sick in the future? When the day when you grow old, I hope my in-law will not forget what you said today!”
Then she was about to go out, when she passed by Zhu Hui, she gave her a cold look, “What are you still doing here? Hurry up and leave!”
After speaking, she swaggered away. Zhu Hui yelled at Li Yueran angrily: “You have killed me! Are you satisfied now?”
After speaking, she quickly chased him out. Li Yueran rolled her eyes, pulled off the mask, wiped her face casually, and pretended to chase downstairs, “My in-law, let’s go after dinner!”
When the neighbor came out to ask her what happened, Li Yueran’s face showed sad look, “Oh, my in-law asked me to sell this house to Huihui and Awei to buy a house. I just said a few words, and my in-law ran away angrily. I was right as I told them, when Huihui got married , the in-laws didn’t take any money, it was Huihui’s and Awei’s savings, plus I subsidized some, and now they want me to give him money to buy a house. I said it would be bad for Awei’s reputation. The in-law got angry. Alas!”
“If you want me to say, your in-law is too much. I don’t think she is a good-tempered person. Besides, if you sold the house, where do you want to live? Is it possible to live with your daughter? Can their family agree?” The neighbors also knew about their family, and they all said outrageously.
Li Yueran sighed, “I think my in-laws won’t let it go. It would be great if they want to sue. If it doesn’t work, I’ll sell the house! After all, Huihui also has the right to inherit the house.”
“It can’t be sold, even if there is a lawsuit. What will you do after selling you?”
“That’s right, how shameless is this Zhang family? How dare he go to court to ask for a house? Didn’t he’s from a big city!”
” That’s it!” The neighbors suggested in a hurry.
Mother Zhang walked out of the community angrily, Zhu Hui covered her belly carefully, avoiding the passing vehicles and pedestrians, “Mom, Mom, slow down, be careful of the car.”
Mother Zhang stopped, “You are really useless! Why didn’t you say a word! Hmph, what did you say before, you said with a pat on the chest, there is no problem with selling the house, what about now? How much money are we wasting this time?” Zhang’s mother was really upset and angry, in her opinion, she has lowered her status to came to discuss with Li Yueran in person, out of emotion and reason, Li Yueran shouldn’t have such an attitude.
Zhu Hui panted, “Mom, let’s find a place to rest first. I’ll discuss it with my uncles and aunts, let them persuade my mother. What do you think? We’ve been on the train all night, aren’t you tired? Let’s find a place to rest and eat something!”
“It doesn’t cost you anything to eat. Your mother should take the initiative to invite us if she knows the etiquette.” Zhang’s mother said angrily.
Zhu Hui smiled wryly. If it was before, this matter must have been resolved long ago, but now, she can’t guarantee. Finally, Zhu Hui took Mother Zhang to the mall, found a chair to sit down, went to the supermarket to buy a bottle of water for Mother Zhang, then hid in the toilet to call her uncle. On the phone, Zhu Hui cried aggrievedly, “Uncle, please persuade my mother! Does she want to force me to death to be reconciled? My mother-in-law has come here in person, and she showings this attitude. Does she want me to divorce then she can be reconciled. I’m her only daughter, her property will be mine sooner or later. If that’s the case, why don’t she give it to me earlier!”
Li Jianhua was puzzled, “Don’t cry, what’s going on? Tell me clearly.”
Only then did Zhu Hui tell the story in a sob, Li Jianhua rolled his eyes, “Your mother-in-law came to your mother to persuade your mother to sell the house to help you buy a house, right? She came to ask for help? Since she is come to ask for help, at least you should lower your attitude! Let alone your mother, even I am not happy with your mother-in-law’s attitude. Also, what about Zhang Wei? Where did he go? It should be him to come here to make it clear in person? Is this money a loan or a gift? This has to be clarified! If it is a loan, who will borrow it? How much is the interest?”
“Don’t talk about it, uncle! Just say one thing, will you help me?” Zhu Hui didn’t bother to listen to Li Jianhua’s nonsense anymore.
“How do you want me to help you, Huihui, let me tell you, don’t go too far! You…” Before Li Jianhua finished speaking, Zhu Hui hung up the phone.
Zhu Hui didn’t know what to do, she thought about it, and sent a message to Zhang’s mother, just asking Zhang’s mother to sit here for a while, she had somewhere to go for a while, and she would be back later. She bought a fruit knife in the nearby supermarket, stuffed it in her bag, and went back angrily. Li Jianhua felt that something was wrong, and he was worried. He told his wife, went downstairs and rode a battery car to his sister’s house.
Li Yueran was cooking at home. When she heard the doorbell ring, she didn’t feel any worries so she went to open the door. When she saw that it was Zhu Hui, she asked, “Where is your mother-in-law? Why did you leave her alone? I was cooking, call her to come up and have a meal before leaving!” After finishing speaking, she went to the kitchen continue cooking.
Zhu Hui didn’t close the door, went in directly, stood at the kitchen door, looked at Li Yueran with gloomy eyes, “Mom, let me ask you again, are you still not willing to sell the house, even if I beg you?”
Li Yueran raised her head and was about to say something, but from the range hood, she saw Zhu Hui behind her fumbling for something from her bag. She remembered that when they were dancing yesterday, Lao Wang also talked about a news about a man in his thirties who gnawed at the old man and killed his mother in a fit of anger because he couldn’t get money from his mother. Li Yueran suddenly became nervous then she turned around slowly, “Huihui, it’s not that Mom doesn’t agree to sell the house, Mom also wants to fight for more rights for you. You have to think carefully if our family took the majority to buy the house, but the Zhang family didn’t even add your name, in the future if you have a quarrel with Zhang Wei, wouldn’t it be a loss of life and money for you? Mom also came to be this villain for your own good mother!”
Zhu Hui sneered, “Don’t lie to me, you don’t want to sell the house at all, do you have someone outside, is he pushing you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t treat me like this! You only care about enjoying yourself , don’t care about my life, you are so selfish!”
Li Yueran said with a smile on her face, “How could I not care about your life. I’m doing it for your own good”
“You, are you agree to sell the house!” Zhu Hui took out a fruit knife and pointed at Li Yueran viciously. Li Yueran has traveled so many worlds, she has never encountered such a thing. Even in the chaos of the Republic of China, she has never encountered someone pointing a knife at her. She can’t help but feel worthless for the original owner again in her heart. Such a barbecued pork! Or when she was born, the child was lost and the placenta was raised?
“Sell, can’t I sell it? Put down the knife!” Li Yueran casually held a pot lid to her chest, staring at Zhu Hui, next to the chopping board with the kitchen knife on it. But she didn’t dare to move, for fear of irritating the other party. She has been well protected by Cheng Nuo all along, whoever has seen such a real knife and gun. She could tell that Zhu Hui was in a daze, and she couldn’t care less as she is being a lunatic woman now.
Zhu Hui widened her eyes happily, then took out her mobile phone, and called Zhang’s mother, “Mom, my mother agreed to sell the house. Yes, you come back first, I will take you to the train later, I’ll go back after selling the house and getting the money.”
Just as she was talking, Li Jianhua came in and saw Zhu Hui pointing a knife at his little sister, he was anxious, “Huihui, what are you doing? Why are you pointing that knife at your mother? It’s really treasonous!” As he spoke, he went forward and snatched the knife from her hand.
Only then did Li Yueran breathe a sigh of relief, and slumped on the ground. Zhu Hui struggled and yelled, all the neighbors who had heard the movement ran in, “Ah, this is terrible, this is planning to kill people for selling the house! Huihui, what the hell did the Zhang family feed you? Did they drug you or you volunteering taking drug! How could you do such a thing.”
“Exactly. It’s too much. Call and ask the police to come and judge.”
“This is a family matter, and the police won’t take care of it! Call first, ask the reporter to come over, and report to the TV since the Zhang family is so shameless!”
