Mrs. Zhang looked at her embarrassed brother-in-law and smiled, "It’s okay, if there’s no money, there’s no money. This afternoon, I’ll go to your wife’s office, and after work, I’ll go to your son’s office."
"If I can’t get the money today, I’ll continue tomorrow." Mrs. Zhang was truly not in a hurry.
Zhang San was dumbfounded, no way, she’s actually going to both his wife’s and son’s workplace, "Sister-in-law, you’re being unreasonable."
"Where’s the family sentint in that?" Zhang San looked at Mrs. Zhang with dissatisfaction.
"When you owed money and didn’t pay back, why didn’t you think we were relatives? When you borrowed, you said all kinds of good things, saying it was just temporary, and it would be repaid soon, but in the end, hahaha." Mrs. Zhang continued to lay on the pressure.
"I’m not in a hurry, I’m really not in a hurry." Mrs. Zhang took out a thermos and drank so water, maintaining her calm deanor.
Mrs. Zhang might not be in a hurry, but Zhang San certainly was. If she really went to his wife’s and son’s workplace, wouldn’t his son’s marriage fall apart? Within Zhang San’s family, it’s not known that his son is in a relationship with the daughter of a leader at his wife’s workplace. They studied at the sa university and gradually beca a couple.
The future in-laws were originally not very satisfied, just waiting for an opportunity, and now that this has happened, the marriage is almost certainly going to fall apart.
Zhang San imdiately stopped Mrs. Zhang, "Second Sister-in-law, I’ll pay, I’ll pay right now." Zhang San took a deep breath.
Mrs. Zhang replied, "I’ll send you my account number, transfer the money to my card today. If I don’t receive it by tonight, I will go directly to your wife’s workplace tomorrow morning."
She had already been to Zhang San’s workplace today, and seeing his attitude of giving up, but ntioning his wife’s and son’s workplaces made his face change dramatically. Since that’s the case, she’ll approach it from that angle.
Zhang San dared not delay any longer, "Don’t worry, don’t worry, I’ll definitely pay today."
After paying back the money, the family is definitely going to sever ties with Zhang Laoer’s family. They’ve never encountered such a heartless brother and sister-in-law.
"I’ll be waiting for you." After Mrs. Zhang sent over the account number, she added, "Don’t say we haven’t given you any leniency, but we won’t ask for the bank interest over these years."
Mrs. Zhang packed up her things, put them on her electric scooter, and drove away like a gust of wind.
Everyone looked at Zhang San. Since they were all colleagues, they couldn’t say much, but in their hearts, they had already labeled him as soone not to lend money to, because if he can shirk paying back his own brother, how much more likely would he be to shirk on a colleague’s loan.
Zhang San’s direct supervisor was also very displeased with him. Clearly, he had money but just wouldn’t pay back, it was just greed. Originally, they thought Zhang San did things reliably and was an old employee, considering making him a purchaser.
Now they’ve given up on that idea entirely, he’ll just remain a low-ranking officer, giving such a person a chance might lead him to take advantage.
Zhang San parked his car and called his wife to tell her about Mrs. Zhang coming to his workplace to collect the debt, and she was shocked: She actually ca to demand money.
Zhang San sighed deeply: Yes, and she said if I don’t pay, she’ll go to both your and our son’s workplaces.
Hearing that, Zhang San’s wife got anxious: That won’t do, she can’t go. The Yue family isn’t very satisfied with our son to begin with, just pay the money, really.
Initially, Zhang San’s wife was about to call them poor bastards, but then rembered that Zhang Er’s family wasn’t poor anymore. Their daughter is successful enough to buy a house for them outright.
The more Zhang San’s wife thought about it, the angrier she got: Clearly, their daughter is successful and making big money, yet they are still so stingy.
Zhang San wholeheartedly agreed: Exactly. I’ve made up my mind, we’ll pay and stop interacting with them, they’re too uncaring.
Zhang San’s wife was angry too but upon hearing her husband’s words: You’re just an idiot, really. Zhang Laoer’s couple may not be successful, but their daughter is. Cutting ties with them is playing right into their hands.
Zhang San’s wife: We will definitely need their help in the future, and it could even be ntioned in front of the in-laws, like having a successful cousin.
Zhang San’s wife: Besides, our son will get married before Zhang Yu does. Now that your brother has money, the red packet shouldn’t be small, and as for Zhang Yu’s wedding, we can talk about the gift later.
Upon hearing that, Zhang San said: True, you’re the smartest, dear.
Zhang San’s wife didn’t want to hear her husband’s flattering words. She was busy raising money so that Mrs. Zhang wouldn’t actually cause a scene at their door or their son’s workplace tomorrow.
The news of Mrs. Zhang going to Zhang San’s workplace to ask for money spread to others’ ears, leaving them astonished. They originally thought Mrs. Zhang was bluffing people, but now they realize she wasn’t bluffing at all. How could they not be shocked?
If Mrs. Zhang could appear at Zhang San’s workplace door, she’s certainly capable of showing up at theirs, too. And when that ti cos, what would their coworkers think of them? Thinking this, they called Mrs. Zhang overnight.
Mrs. Zhang, when answering their calls, was busy: "I’ll send you my account number, and I’ll check the account by tomorrow night. If I don’t see the money, I’ll go to your workplace the next morning."
Mrs. Zhang: "I went to the door of Zhang San’s workplace today. I think once done, it’s actually not that difficult."
Originally, she felt it was quite embarrassing, but after taking the first step, she found collecting debts wasn’t that hard.
Everyone clearly understood Mrs. Zhang’s implication: it only counts if the money arrives; otherwise, she’ll continue her actions.
Helplessly, everyone internally cursed her various ways, but regardless of their frustration, they still had to raise the money, or they would truly be humiliated.
So took out deposits that hadn’t matured, while others were in a more awkward position, having no money at hand and had to go out to borrow it.
But within their families, so were already raising money to repay Zhang Er’s family, or they knew these people were old defaulters and directly said they had no money, leaving them very anxious.
Mrs. Zhang didn’t care how urgent or troubled they were. She had already made her stance clear and wouldn’t back down, "If you talk nicely, they treat us like fools. Since it’s like this, we might as well be a bit ruthless."
"Otherwise, once they know our daughter can make money, there will be many coming to borrow." Mrs. Zhang’s debt collection this ti was to warn those relatives.
"Otherwise, they will certainly continue borrowing money." Mrs. Zhang was too familiar with those relatives, knowing they truly lacked any sense of sha.
Mr. Zhang quietly listened, "Wife, I’ll definitely follow your lead."
"Oh right, wife, what if they stop interacting with us?" Mr. Zhang rubbed his hands nervously, having been worried about this for the past few days.
If they don’t interact with us, Mrs. Zhang sneered, "If they don’t, they don’t. Have they ever supported us? When our daughter cos ho, do you see her wanting to visit relatives?"
She ca ho for two days, went out to buy a house, and upon returning ho, just lazed around. Not to ntion visiting relatives, she didn’t even step out other than to sleep.
"Look, as long as our daughter does well at work, they absolutely won’t be willing to break ties with us." Mrs. Zhang was worried her husband would ss things up, so she reminded him again.
Mr. Zhang nodded, "Alright, as long as you all think it’s no problem, then it’s fine."
Mrs. Zhang knew their generation still valued family connections, "Looking back, we didn’t achieve much, couldn’t make big money, but Little Yu did well in school from a young age, and the siblings were envious."
"The eldest brother could say such things, and Little Yu only told us now, who knows if there’s more that wasn’t said."
