Capítulo 1588: Chapter 1589: The Girl with Three Failures 96
Zhang Yu’s parents put him on the train, and as soon as they left the station, they received a call from Eldest Son Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang knew right away it was about repaying money, and answered the call: “Big brother, we’re waiting for Little Yu to co back outside. How about this, tomorrow morning at eight, let’s et at the bank at the entrance of your residential area.”
That’s right, Mrs. Zhang thought for a mont and decided to et directly at the bank. If there were any fake banknotes, they could be detected imdiately.
Uncle Zhang did not expect Mrs. Zhang to suggest eting at the bank entrance. No matter what he said, Mrs. Zhang just had one line: “Sister-in-law can’t be at ho, let sister-in-law go to the bank.”
Mrs. Zhang added: “Big brother, you insist we get the money today, is there sothing about this money?”
Whether it’s repaid today or tomorrow, what’s the difference? Mrs. Zhang really had so doubts about her elder brother-in-law’s behavior.
Mrs. Zhang said this, and Uncle Zhang didn’t dare insist on repaying today: “Alright, tomorrow it is.”
Uncle Zhang hung up the phone helplessly, looking at his expectant son and daughter-in-law, “We agreed to et at the bank tomorrow morning.”
Eldest Aunt Zhang heard this and got angry, “So cunning.”
She thought about the counterfeit hundred yuan notes she had gotten from sowhere last ti. She couldn’t spend them and was reluctant to part with them. Now that they needed to repay money to the second brother’s family, she ca up with this plan.
If they only had to hold on until tomorrow, even if counterfeit bills were found, there would be no proof it was their money. But now, eting at the bank, the bank would certainly find out.
Uncle Zhang felt so regret too, “If I insisted on repaying today, she would definitely suspect sothing.”
“Forget it, bring out the counterfeit money.” Thinking of losing over a thousand yuan, Uncle Zhang felt upset, but there was no other way.
Eldest Aunt Zhang could only grumble as she took out the money. When she put the money in, she felt so good; now her mood was terrible.
The elder cousin was not in a good mood, “Really, never seen such excessive relatives.”
Uncle Zhang sighed helplessly, “It’s amazing how well-off they are; in a year, they make so much money. Son, look at yourself; after working all these years, can you afford to buy a house?”
The elder cousin didn’t expect his own father to deal such a blow, “Dad, what are you saying? I should buy a house?”
“Yes, I’ve thought a lot today. Your mom and I have protected you too much, prepared everything for you, leaving you without motivation.”
“We live in an old house, and the lease is about to expire. We plan not to rent it out, to renovate it after taking it back, and then move in, leaving this place for you three.”
This was the decision of both elders.
“Ah?” The elder cousin thought about not living with his parents, but only after buying a new house, “Aren’t we buying a new house?”
The elder sister-in-law, playing with the child at the side, raised her ears to listen. Hearing they weren’t buying a new house, she was also dumbfounded.
“No, you’re grown up, you can consider for yourselves. The ten thousand we get this ti will be returned in six months.” Uncle Zhang decided that the children’s matters would be for them to handle from now on. He wanted to be as relaxed as Zhang Laoer.
The elder cousin was furious. Zhang Yu buying a house had already made him angry, and who would have thought this issue would continue? His parents decided not to buy a house for them anymore. He had never seen such unfair parents.
Uncle Zhang saw the angry expression on his brother’s face and sighed. Everything they did for the son was seen as what they should do, and if they were unwilling to give, he got angry. How could it be like this?
Uncle Zhang grew even more determined that he couldn’t give unconditionally to his son anymore. Rather, he was set on saving more money; otherwise, when he was old and had no money, he couldn’t expect the child to treat him well.
Zhang Yu had no idea that the matter of buying a house for his parents would lead Uncle Zhang to have such thoughts. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care. What she cared about was how the debt collection was going.
Just as Zhang San and the others said, besides Uncle Zhang repaying, no one else, including Mrs. Zhang’s siblings, paid back the money.
Especially on Monday, they noticed it was calm, and no one ca to the unit asking for money. They increasingly felt that Zhang Laoer and his wife were just bluffing.
No one ca on Tuesday, and no one on Wednesday either, which made them particularly amused. Especially knowing that Eldest Son Zhang’s family had already repaid in full, they mocked them as fools.
The elder cousin thought the sa, feeling his parents were just frightened by the second uncle.
On Thursday, Mrs. Zhang took action, going straight to Zhang San’s workplace, setting up a debt collection banner, and loudly repeating the debt collection ssage.
That was right when it was ti to go to work. As Zhang San and his acquaintances rode to the factory entrance, they saw a crowd gathered, vaguely hearing soone talking about debts.
Zhang San’s heart sank. No way, no way. They all thought it was forgotten, but who would have thought they would ask for money today.
Colleagues, hearing the repeated announcents, suspiciously looked at Zhang San, “It’s your na; you owe money.”
Zhang San wanted to say it wasn’t him, but thinking there weren’t many people with his na at the unit, he resigned himself to his fate. At this mont, that was the only thought in his head.
Everyone watching the spectacle was intrigued. Debt collection carried out like this was an eye-opener. Hearing the colleague question, they knew the debtor was present and quickly turned to watch.
Soone who never got along with Zhang San seized the chance, “Hey, the debtor is here.”
Zhang San recognized the person taunting him and got angry, wanting to avoid it but knowing avoiding it now wouldn’t stop it tomorrow. Particularly now, as a path was cleared for him.
Mrs. Zhang saw Zhang San pushing his motorbike and just looked at him without speaking.
Mrs. Zhang could remain silent, but Zhang San couldn’t. If he stayed quiet, this gaphone would continue blaring on and on.
“Second sister-in-law, it’s just a bit of money I owe, is this necessary?” Zhang San said unhappily.
“From seven years ago, when your family bought the first house until now, then you borrowed again when you moved. In total, it’s about thirty thousand. The five thousand from seven years ago was worth quite a bit; I don’t need to say more, right?”
“My salary is low, your brother’s salary isn’t high either, and so of it was from the scholarship your niece won for competitions you never repaid.”
“It’s not like we haven’t urged you; every ti it’s ‘wait’, ‘no rush’, ‘no money’, ‘nothing can be done’. Didn’t I inform you over the weekend?” Mrs. Zhang directly tore Zhang San’s facade apart.
What, it’s not a big sum, but the money borrowed seven years ago hasn’t been paid back, and yet they continue to borrow money. Everyone’s perception of Zhang San shifted.
“Well, it’s because we had no money.” Even now, Zhang San didn’t want to pay it back, thinking why should he?
“That’s not right; didn’t you say you planned to buy another house last ti, to prepare a wedding house for your son?” Soone chid in.
Socially dead, truly socially dead. The face-slapping ca so quickly.
