Chapter 351 - 351: This Move is Brilliant
This kind of thing had happened countless times over the years.
Unfortunately, Wei Zhenghao couldn’t see it clearly. Thinking that everyone was a family, Zhang Yao’s wild guess was just petty.
It had been so many years. How much had Zhang Yao suffered because of this?
Although Zhang Yao didn’t plan to live with Wei Zhenghao anymore, she had to let Wei Zhenghao experience it for himself to understand.
Otherwise, even if they were divorced, he would still think Zhang Yao was being unreasonable and trying to destroy their mother-and-son relationship!
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan reminded Zhang Yao she could use this opportunity to let Wei Zhenghao see through Zhu Qiulian’s selfishness.
Zhang Yao had once said that Wei Zhenghao’s money was with Zhu Qiulian. Then she should find an excuse to let Wei Zhenghao ask for money from Zhu Qiulian and see if she would give it to him!
Money was the best way to test a person’s sincerity.
Zhu Qiulian was so stingy, such a selfish person, how could she spit out the money she had taken?
Zhang Yao followed Wei Zhenghao to the door. Wei Zhenghao looked at the car outside and asked with some envy, “Big Brother bought this? They’re really rich!”
Although Zhang Yao was disgusted, she still pretended to be calm on the surface. “What do you want?”
Wei Zhenghao retracted his envious eyes and looked at Zhang Yao. He said in a low voice, “I don’t know what happened, but the roots of the cucumbers in the greenhouse have started to rot. Come back with me to see what’s going on. We’ve invested all of our family’s savings into this greenhouse. What if it rots completely?”
Listening to Wei Zhenghao’s words, Zhang Yao was secretly happy.
“What do you mean by our greenhouse? What does this greenhouse have to do with you and me? It’s planted in your Big Brother’s shed, and the one paying for it is your mother!”
Although the money was obtained by Zhu Qiulian by secretly selling her vegetables, in the eyes of the Wei family, this money was Zhu Qiulian’s money.
Wei Zhenghao disagreed. “What are you saying? We’re a family, so they’ll definitely give me some of the money earned.”
“Speaking of which, 1 was going to look for you these two days. There’s something you have to do!” Zhang Yao suddenly said in a low voice.
“What’s the matter? Just tell me!” Wei Zhenghao was overjoyed when he heard that.
It turned out that Zhang Yao had wanted to make up with him for a long time. If she had known, she would have waited for two more days, but her mother and brother couldn’t hold it in and urged him to come over and ask Zhang Yao what rotten root was all about.
“Since you said that you have a share in the money for the greenhouse, then go and ask your mother for 300 Yuan now.” Zhang Yao said, “1 don’t have any money on hand. 1 did save some, but 1 used it all up when 1 moved here to build a new greenhouse.”
“Three hundred?” Wei Zhenghao was speechless. “How can 1 have that much money? Besides, what do you want the money for?”
“What can a child achieve by studying in this village? My Big Brother agreed to help Wenwen transfer her household register so that she can study in the city. However, she had to pay the school fees first. If she could not pay in two days, she would be abandoned. Also, look at the clothes that Wenwen is wearing. They’re all from last year and the year before that. There’s no new piece at all. They’re all too small! 1 happen to be free these two days, so 1’11 take her to the city to buy some clothes.”
Zhang Yao pulled Wenwen over. Coincidentally, the clothes that Wenwen was wearing today were indeed a little too small.
Wei Zhenghao immediately asked, “Didn’t you pay the tuition fees when school started? Why do they want it now?”
“We’ve transferred to another school, so we’re definitely different from the other students. Anyway, no matter what, just lend it to me first. When 1 have money, 1’11 return it to you!” Zhang Yao said.
Wei Zhenghao looked at Zhang Yao suspiciously, “300 Yuan, do you still need to borrow from me? Let’s not talk about your Brother and Sister-in-law, even if it’s your parents or Xiao Jun, who can’t lend you 300 Yuan?”
“You’re the child’s father. If the child needs money, it’s fine if you don’t pay, but you won’t lend it to me even if I ask? My brother and Sister-in-law are rich, but 1 can’t keep asking them for money, right? I’m living and Eating at my parents’ house now. How can 1 still have the face to ask them for money?” Zhang Yao pretended to be very wronged.
“Your brother and sister-in-law can even afford a car, so why would they be short of three or four hundred Yuan? Furthermore, they had already agreed to let Wenwen go to school. Why would they be stingy with the money? If you’re embarrassed, I’ll help you borrow it! Besides, your niece is wearing good clothes, and she’s older than Wenwen. Why don’t you ask your sister-in-law to give all the clothes that the child doesn’t wear to our Wenwen?”
Zhang Yao almost couldn’t hold it in anymore, but when she thought of what Yuanyuan said, she still suppressed her anger and said, “Since you don’t care about my feelings, 1 have nothing to say! 1 can’t help you. You don’t have to see the child anymore. If you can’t even bear to give her three hundred Yuan, you don’t deserve to be Wenwen’s father!”
As she spoke, Zhang Yao turned around to go home.
Wei Zhenghao saw this and quickly stopped her. “Hey, wait…”
Zhang Yao stopped and looked at him calmly.
Wei Zhenghao hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s mainly because I don’t have any money on me!”
“I gave you a lot of money in the past, right? Three hundred a month, you’re not spending it at home!” Zhang Yao asked.
“I gave it all to my mother,” Wei Zhenghao said awkwardly. “I really don’t have any money. If I did, I would give it to you.”
“If that’s the case, go back and ask your mother for three hundred Yuan. We’ll take Wenwen to the city and buy her some clothes tomorrow. We’ll also pay for the school fees!” Zhang Yao said.
Wei Zhenghao lowered his head and looked at Wenwen. Seeing the anticipation on her face, he gritted his teeth and said, “All right, 1’11 go get the money. Come to the greenhouse in the afternoon and see the situation!”
Zhang Yao nodded. “All right! I’ll go take a look!”
Wei Zhenghao got Zhang Yao’s answer and left, satisfied.
After Wei Zhenghao’s figure disappeared at the intersection, Zhang Yao returned to the house.
The children had already finished eating, so Li Xu instructed Ji Zixuan to bring his brothers and sisters out to play.
The adults started talking about Wei Zhenghao at the table.
“I’ll go to the greenhouse in the afternoon to give Wei Zhenghao enough face. As for the money, the old woman definitely won’t give it to him. I’ll add some fuel to the fire. If Wei Zhenghao still can’t see the old woman’s favoritism, then he’s really an idiot.” With the children not around, Zhang Yao spoke without restraint.
Hearing Zhang Yao’s words, Hao Melting gave a thumbs up. “Sister, this move of yours is truly brilliant! We have to let him have a taste of this!”
Li Xu sighed. “The favoritism in the past has never been on him. That’s why he’s always indifferent.”
Zhu Qiulian was an expert and had been instilling in Wei Zhenghao the idea that they were family, separating Wei Zhenghao and Zhang Yao.
This made Wei Zhenghao think the old lady’s favoritism was only directed at Zhang Yao and Wenwen, not him!
