Chapter 2263 - 2264: My Cousin Is a Capitalist’s Daughter 82

Chapter 2263: Chapter 2264: My Cousin Is a Capitalist’s Daughter 82

Even though it’s winter, the news spread very quickly. Such an important matter, especially involving Zhang Hui, of course, it had to be broadcasted widely.

It’s certainly not enough to just spread it locally; letters need to be written back home, and during market days, the matter is brought up with the intellectual youth from the neighboring teams and communes.

Within just a few days, not only did the people in the commune know, but quite a few people in the county town also heard about it.

Of course, everyone united to keep it from Zhang Tao and Zhang Hui. They were also worried that if these two found out, they might take action against them, as these two were not ordinary ruthless people.

Zhang Juan occasionally went out for some shopping, and she certainly heard the rumors but didn’t warn Zhang Hui and the others.

It’s not that she didn’t want to warn them, but recently, their condition had really been off. They always had gloomy expressions. Even though Zhang Tao wanted to sleep on the kang, the boys over there didn’t agree since this guy was a ruthless person. What if he attacked them in the middle of the night?

Moreover, everyone’s attitude was unanimous. Anyway, the two of them had already been together before and done things that should not be done, so there was no need to hide it anymore.

And so, the two of them nestled in Zhang Hui’s room. As for Zhang Juan, unless necessary, like when going over to cook, she would absolutely not appear in Zhang Hui’s room.

Zhang Yu was right next door to Zhang Tao, and he was even less likely to remind them, instead, he became more vigilant. Thugs demanded three thousand yuan from them; Zhang Tao and the others knew they had to give the money, but they definitely wouldn’t agree to such a large amount. They tried talking it out a few times, but all ended in hostility.

Zhang Yu knew Zhang Tao and the others were just waiting for the money to be wired from home. If the family sent three thousand, they would just give the thugs three thousand, then they could pack up and leave.

But if the family didn’t send three thousand, they would just have to keep stalling with the thugs.

Zhang Tao lay on the kang, filled with unease, because giving away three thousand yuan all of a sudden wasn’t a small matter. Even though it was already stated that Zhang Hui needed the three thousand, he was really not confident about it.

At that moment, the Zhang Family had received the telegram. Xue Lei was completely dumbfounded seeing the telegram. What was going on? Why would they need three thousand?

Could it be that Zhang Hui got into university? But even if she got into a university, it wouldn’t require three thousand. Some people from the factory got into university and had already received their admission notices. Not only was there no tuition fee, but they even got living expenses.

Even if Zhang Hui needed to buy things, it wouldn’t require so much money. Xue Lei thought for a long time, thinking maybe Zhang Hui encountered some trouble in the Northeast, otherwise, she wouldn’t ask for so much money.

Thinking of this, Xue Lei couldn’t sit still any longer. She stood up quickly; the two families must discuss this matter together, discuss how to come up with the money.

Qiao Xue came home with the child after work and saw Xue Lei sitting on the bench in a daze, still holding a piece of paper in her hand, so she went over to see what was going on.

The result was seeing the content of the telegram, and Qiao Xue snatched it immediately, "Three thousand?"

"What’s going on, how could Zhang Hui, a girl being an intellectual youth in the Northeast, need three thousand?"

"Does she know what kind of concept three thousand yuan is?"

"How many years would a worker need to not eat or drink to accumulate such money?" Qiao Xue knew that the in-laws, including the eldest uncle, all doted on Zhang Hui. They sent money and tickets every month, and whenever there was anything good at home, they never kept it for their own sons and grandsons. They always set it aside to send it to Zhang Hui later.

If it wasn’t for all her crying and fussing, her child’s life would have been worse than a rural kid’s.

For the past few days, her mood had been quite good. Zhang Li said Zhang Hui’s grades were excellent, and she would definitely get into university, so she thought that getting into university would be good, as it would lead to a good job assignment, which could benefit them too.

Now it was a mess; it was still uncertain whether Zhang Hui got into university, but the telegram asking for money came, "Does she think the family is bottomless, limitless?"

"Let me tell you, if you dare to send the money, I will cause a scene at the factory. I want everyone to see how the family has supported her for all these years she spent as an intellectual youth in the Northeast."

"Other intellectual youth who went to the Northeast sent back black fungus, dried shiitake mushrooms, and pine nuts. But the three great aunts of our family went to the Northeast and never sent anything home."

Qiao Xue felt angrier as she thought about it, "The most outrageous is Zhang Hui; not only did she not send anything back, now she wants us to send money."

"What does she think she is?" Qiao Xue saw Deng Jie come back, grabbed her immediately, and repeated the whole matter.

Deng Jie already had considerable dissatisfaction with the Zhang Family because Zhang Tao insisted on going to the Northeast, and hearing about needing three thousand made the anger in her heart uncontrollable.

"Mom, I just want to know why send Zhang Tao to the Northeast. It’s not because she took the college entrance exam, but because there’s some issue over there, otherwise how could they need three thousand yuan all of a sudden."

Deng Jie knew ever since the news about the resumption of the college entrance exam spread, quite a few intellectual youth either took the entrance exam or left without any proof, moving back to the city straight away, even abandoning marriages and children in the local area.

Thinking of this, Deng Jie suddenly raised her head, "Second Aunt, has Zhang Hui already married and had children there, and she wants to come back, but the other side disagrees, so Zhang Tao went there to deal with the matter?"

Qiao Xue thought this made sense too, "What, Zhang Hui has already gotten married and had children in the Northeast, and now she wants to return to the city, they want us to send money back?"

"Impossible, I have never seen a case where a married daughter still needs her maternal family to continue supporting her, forget about not getting a dowry, and now she wants a divorce and requires three thousand." Qiao Xue was about to break down.

"Mom, when I married Zhang Li, what did you say? You said among the brothers, everything must be kept fair and even, and now you just brush it aside."

The combined dowry and wedding expenses for Zhang Li and his brothers didn’t even exceed three thousand, and now just one word from Zhang Hui, and three thousand is directly sent over?"

The more Qiao Xue spoke, the angrier she became. Deng Jie was also very upset beside her, "Second Aunt, be honest, is Zhang Tao over there to handle Zhang Hui’s divorce?"

Their voices were so loud that the neighbors next door heard, and they peeked in immediately, "What, Zhang Hui has already married and had a child in the Northeast?"

"Ah, ah, Zhang Gui and his spouse would be heartbroken, they were hoping for Zhang Hui to return."

"Forget it, Xue Lei really spoils Zhang Hui, she even gave her job to her instead of Zhang Qiang."

"Exactly, who favors a daughter over a son?"

From the conversation between the daughters-in-law and nieces-in-law, Xue Lei felt dizzy, her head buzzing, and when she regained her composure, she heard the neighbors discussing Zhang Hui having a marriage and children in the Northeast.

"Who said my Xiao Hui got married and had children in the Northeast, who is spreading rumors." Xue Lei said furiously.

Everyone was startled by her tone and all pointed at Deng Jie, "She said it, or else how would we know to say such a thing."
