Old Lady Zhang's Rebirth: Going Mad! Severing Ties with Family! Becoming Incredibly Rich!

"What's the use of paying back the money?"

Song Mingyu's expression softened a bit. "The scene your mother caused at my house made my family a laughing stock among the neighbors. My parents were furious."

Zhao Jinzhong felt extremely guilty. "I'll go to your house and apologize to your uncle and aunt."

Song Mingyu asked him, "How do you plan to apologize to my parents?"

"I kowtowed to them to apologize."

"..."

Who cares if he kowtows?

Song Mingyu was never short of men, but the one who was most generous and devoted to her was Zhao Jinzhong. She felt it was a pity to completely break up with him.

Instead, he pointed him in the right direction: "Zhao Jinzhong, I know you're good to me, but your mother's outburst at my house has made my family lose face."

"Whoever caused the trouble should clean it up. If you want to continue being friends with me, have your parents go to my house to apologize and restore the face my family has lost."

Zhao Jinzhong looked troubled.

Song Mingyu was furious. She turned and left, saying, "If you can't do it, don't come looking for me again. It's not like I can't find someone else, or that I have to marry you!"

Zhao Jinzhong became anxious.

He took a few long strides to catch up with her. "Mingyu, I'll do anything for you as long as you're willing to make up with me, but my parents... they've been acting like they've gone crazy lately, they don't care about the lives of their children at all."

Zhao Jinzhong was certain.

If he dares to go home and ask his mother to apologize to the Song family, she'll slap him so hard he'll be stuck in the wall, sever all ties with him, and demand alimony from him.

He is now penniless.

Where can I get alimony?

Zhao Jinzhong doesn't dare to offend his parents now.

We're just poor right now.

Offending his parents will only lead to debt.

Being burdened with debt makes getting married even more distant.

"No, this was caused by your mother. She has to come to my house to apologize. Not only does she have to apologize, but she has to go with a bang and drums so that all the neighbors who were laughing at her can hear her admitting her mistake."

Song Mingyu refused to back down at all. "Apologizing isn't enough. You also have to marry me in a grand and glorious way. None of the marriage conditions my family mentioned before can be omitted."

The old woman has money now, doesn't she?

Song Mingyu was about to empty her hand of all her money. "You just said your parents bought a house in your village? Let me be clear, after all this trouble between my family and your mother, I definitely won't live under the same roof with her anymore."

"If you want to marry me, have your parents transfer the ownership of one of the houses they bought to both of us, and then we can live our own lives behind closed doors."

"If you can do it, I'll wait for you. If you can't... let's not hold each other back."

Done.

This put even more pressure on Zhao Jinzhong.

"I'm not young anymore. My mom is arranging blind dates for me recently, hoping I'll settle down soon. You can decide for yourself."

Zhao Jinzhong became nervous as expected. "Mingyu, don't go on the blind date yet. Wait for me, I'll think of something else."

Song Mingyu was secretly pleased.

She knew Zhao Jinzhong wouldn't refuse any of her requests.

Thinking about his monthly salary of over 170 yuan, Song Mingyu nodded and said, "I can wait for you, but I'm not sure how long I can hold out. My parents raised me all these years, and I can't just ignore their feelings."

Zhao Jinzhong said with a heavy heart, "I will think of a solution as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Song Mingyu slapped him, then gave him a sweet treat, saying, "I'll put in a good word for you when I get home, and I'll get my parents to forgive you sooner."

Zhao Jinzhong was deeply moved.

Mingyu is so good to him, why can't his parents see how good Mingyu is?

Zhao Jinzhong stared at Song Mingyu, completely mesmerized.

Song Mingyu blushed and lightly patted his arm. "You're so annoying! Stop looking. Weren't we going to buy chicken cakes? Hurry up and go, I'm starving."

Zhao Jinzhong grinned, grabbed his clothes, and happily went to queue up.

Song Mingyu stood to the side waiting.

She was actually quite satisfied with Zhao Jinzhong.

He is tall, broad-shouldered, and has a majestic and imposing appearance. Standing next to him makes you feel very safe. He may seem intimidating on the surface, but he is actually easy to control.

His mother is just too difficult to deal with!

Thinking of Zhang Guiying and Song Mingyu makes me angry.

That old hag used to be easy to handle, but now she's like a completely different person.

Song Mingyu shook her head, banishing Zhang Guiying from her mind. This difficult old woman was better left to Zhao Jinzhong to handle. If Zhao Jinzhong couldn't handle her, she wouldn't marry him.

Without parental support, how many years would it take Zhao Jinzhong to save up enough money for the three major items (house, appliances, and furniture) and to buy a house?

She was born to enjoy a life of luxury.

I don't want to live a hard life with a poor guy.

"Mingyu, this sponge cake is fresh out of the oven and still steaming hot. You should try it."

When Song Mingyu came to her senses, Zhao Jinzhong had already presented her with a paper bag of chicken cakes. She took out a piece and gave it to Zhao Jinzhong first, saying, "You have some too."

"I'm not hungry."

The snacks were quite expensive, and Zhao Jinzhong couldn't bear to eat them.

Song Mingyu stomped her foot, "Eat it if I tell you to, otherwise I won't eat it either."

"I'll eat it, I'll eat it!"

As soon as the sweet sponge cake entered his mouth, Zhao Jinzhong felt as if he had drunk honey, his heart filled with sweetness, completely forgetting that he had paid for it.

The two ate and strolled around.

Whenever Song Mingyu's eyes lingered on a particular piece of clothing for a few seconds, Zhao Jinzhong would pull her to try it on. If Song Mingyu liked it after trying it on, he would immediately take out his money and buy it.

"Don't buy it."

Song Mingyu pulled him along, "I've already bought several outfits today, and it's cost me a lot of money."

That's true.

But his eyes never left the new clothes.

Zhao Jinzhong had just received his salary and, having money in hand, was willing to spend it on Song Mingyu, insisting on buying the clothes.

I spent the whole morning shopping.

Zhao Jinzhong's monthly salary was almost gone.

It's fortunate that it's summer, when clothes are cheap. If it were winter, Zhao Jinzhong's monthly salary would only be enough to buy one good quality down jacket.

We left the department store.

Zhao Jinzhong then took Song Mingyu out for lunch and popsicles.

He bought Song Mingyu a milk popsicle that cost two cents, while he himself ate a mung bean popsicle that cost four cents. Seeing Song Mingyu enjoying her food made him even happier and more satisfied than if he had eaten something delicious himself.

The afternoon was hot and humid.

Song Mingyu felt unwell after eating.

Zhao Jinzhong then reluctantly rode his bicycle to take her home.

Song Mingyu didn't dare let Zhao Jinzhong into the family compound. She jumped off her bicycle from a distance and said, "My parents are still angry, so please don't take me in."

"it is good."

Zhao Jinzhong handed her the clothes and food from the net bag, saying, "You should go back now, it's hot outside. I'll come pick you up again tomorrow when you go to work."

"Uh-huh."

Song Mingyu had a great shopping trip today, carrying a heavy net bag. She was also willing to say nice things to Zhao Jinzhong, "Ride your bike slowly and be careful on the road. I've noticed you've lost weight recently. Buy yourself something nice to eat when you get paid, don't just think about me."

"..."

Look how much Mingyu feels sorry for him.

Zhao Jinzhong's heart was burning with excitement. "I know."

Song Mingyu didn't rush to leave. Looking left and right, and seeing no one on the road, she patted Zhao Jinzhong on the shoulder. "Zhao Jinzhong, keep your head down!"
