651: Chapter 652 Sister Like Mother 69_1 651: Chapter 652 Sister Like Mother 69_1 After Huang Xin’s funeral was settled, Zhao i briskly took her belongings and left, directly transporting the valuable furniture to her new husband’s ho.
She probably also harbored no intention of coming back—the house was left in a complete ss, with no signs of being tidied up.
Many looked at the disorderly house, at Zhao i telling people proudly how fortunate she was to be getting remarried this ti.
Soone looked at the smug Zhao i, “With the hard-earned money from your man and son, you’re spending it that easily?”
“You even say your husband’s family is rich, but who doesn’t know they’re as poor as church mice?”
“Aren’t you worried they might co looking for you at night?”
Zhao i wanted everyone to know that even though she was remarrying, she had found a decent match, from a good foundation—she was a person blessed with good fortune.
However, no one expected that soone would outright expose her so-called lies.
Zhao i’s expression was one of embarrassnt and discomfort, and what made her feel even more awkward was that soone directly asked her how much money she got for giving up on Huang Xin’s treatnt.
How could she admit it?
Once she did, she would definitely be beaten half to death by the Huang family, even if she was about to remarry.
Originally planning to show off and boast once more, now all she could do was hastily urge everyone to pack up and leave quickly.
Watching Zhao i flee in a panic, they could confirm one thing for sure—that Huang Man was right, Zhao i had struck it rich once again.
“How can such a malicious woman lead such a good life?”
There was a lot of gossip, with no one feeling envious of her.
“Really don’t understand what she’s thinking, the relationship with her daughter is strained, at least she could have relied on her son.”
“But for the sake of compensation, she gave up on her son.”
This baffled everyone, if she had abandoned her daughter, not many would be surprised—after all, she would eventually be an outsider, and making money for the family is a good thing.
But giving up on a son, very few would make such a foolish decision.
“She’s utterly currying favor over there, using the life insurance money from her own man and son to kiss up to those people.”
“Just see, if she can be so heartless to her own son, won’t they be wary of her?”
“Exactly, if I were in their shoes, I’d be worried too.
What if one day Zhao i also signs off on not rescuing and takes the compensation to remarry?
What then?”
If her first remarriage was a bit embarrassing and filled with so guilt, then for the second remarriage, she definitely wouldn’t have such thoughts.
“This house will just be left empty.” Zhao i practically ran away, so she didn’t even bother to close the doors of the house or the yard.
People looked at the empty house and couldn’t help but sigh, “This house was built by Huang Zhiqiang, working day and night after Zhao i gave birth to Huang Xin.”
“Exactly, now both father and son are gone, and the house has been abandoned.”
Everyone was sighing, but no one ntioned wanting the house because even if Zhao i was not likely to return to the village, Huang Man and Huang Lina were not yet married—this was still their ho.
Of course, the most important reason was that the house was already sowhat dilapidated, just a bungalow.
If it were a multi-story building, certainly, people would do whatever they could to make it their own.
Zhao i hurried back ho, and upon arrival, she found no one there and prepared to push the door open.
But then she heard voices inside, ntioning her na.
Zhao i couldn’t help but stop in her tracks, pressing her ear against the door to listen in on what her new family was discussing behind her back.
Soon her face turned pale, she was no fool—she knew that their interest in her was partly because of the money.
But what she hadn’t expected was that the other party was so ruthless, planning to take away all the money she had.
Moreover, Zhao i was still hesitating about whether to get a marriage certificate or not; after all, they were both advanced in age, each having their own children, and there really was no need to fuss over such trifles.
When they got older, they’d each return to their own hos and rely on their own children in their old age.
Their plan was to swindle the money and then simply kick her out, never intending to get a marriage certificate.
“Dad, no matter what Auntie says, you absolutely cannot get a marriage certificate,” the son kept advising his father.
“Think about it, she’s not just any kind of vicious, her man and son are not beyond hope yet, but for the sake of money, she can actually ignore her son, ignore her man.”
“Do you think you can change her mind?”
Zhao i’s new partner grunted, “Don’t worry, I’m not stupid.”
“I’ll definitely not give her such a good opportunity.”
“But son, if we don’t get the marriage certificate with her, if she gets sick in the future, we also won’t be able to make money through her again,” he reasoned.
The old man had already calculated how to extract all of Zhao i’s money from her.
Zhao i listened to the father and son whispering among themselves, buzzing with excitent in the room, not noticing whether soone might overhear their sches or whether soone might call the police.
“The more we take into account the whole situation now and prepare thoroughly, the more likely we are to have the last laugh,” they said.
Zhao i closed her eyes.
Was this supposed to be her good husband?
Was this the family that relentlessly made promises to care for her until her dying days?
Zhao i knew she couldn’t marry him, but then she thought about the words she had said in front of everyone before.
If she didn’t marry now, wouldn’t she beco a laughing stock?
No, she still had to marry him, just without getting a marriage certificate, which suited both of them since he didn’t want one either.
As for the money she had, Zhao i knew she absolutely couldn’t keep it on hand, otherwise the day they scamd her out of it would be the day she got kicked to the curb.
But with the money in hand, she couldn’t stop them—what should she do?
Zhao i thought it over and rembered Huang Man once suggested using compensation money to buy a house, then collecting rent from it, saying that she would then just be using the rent money, and the house would still be hers.
At the ti, she severely scolded Huang Man, thinking she just wanted the house for herself.
Yes, she would buy houses, all kinds of houses, just one-bedroom ones, oh, and a two-bedroom as well.
That way, she could live in the city; anyway, she had rental inco every month, so life should be manageable.
And what about that kid who affectionately called her “mom” to her face but plotted behind her back—whether or not he had money for his marriage, what did that have to do with her?
If they were resentful, they could set a trap, using the old man’s death to swindle a large sum of money.
Zhao i rushed to the city and made a flurry of purchases, practically spending all her money.
Initially, she thought the two sums of compensation money would be enough to buy several houses, but unexpectedly, it only bought five one-bedroom apartnts and one two-bedroom apartnt.
Thinking of the housing prices in the city at that ti, Zhao i felt the bitterness in her heart—if she had listened to Huang Man’s advice and bought a house back then, the compensation could have actually increased.
Too bad, too bad.
No matter how much she regretted it now, it was what it was; she could only try her best to buy houses, absolutely not selling them off.
