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

Zhang Xia rattled off her rant in one breath.

After scolding her, he helped Zhang Guiying up, looking like he was waiting for praise. His words were very well said, and Zhang Guiying didn't hold back, using her body as a shield, she gave him a thumbs up.

Zhang Xia looked smug.

The neighbors also realized what was going on.

Yes.

I wasn't really after anything, and I can't really articulate such specific requirements.

It was indeed wrong of Zhang Guiying to cause trouble, but who can remain calm when their future daughter-in-law demands a dowry of 2,000 yuan and three major items? Knowing it was a misunderstanding, didn't Zhang Guiying immediately apologize and even make concessions and offer compensation?

Li Shufen, however, was relentless and even pushed people.

That's how they always act in front of others.

A few days ago at the hospital, when no one could see, they were incredibly rude.

Li Shufen was now completely speechless, so angry that she hopped around on one leg while leaning on her crutches. "Zhang Guiying, stop pretending! I just gave you a light push. How much strength can a person with a broken leg like me have? Stop trying to gain sympathy."

"Who cares about your family's stinking money? Even if you offer two thousand in dowry and three major items, I still won't marry my daughter."

He waved his cane and started chasing people away, saying, "Get out! Get out of my house right now! No one from your Zhao family is allowed to set foot in my house again!"

Zhang Guiying dodged her cane, "Mother-in-law, let's talk this over..."

"Who said you're my mother-in-law? Get out of my way!"

Ignoring the mad Li Shufen, Zhang Guiying turned to Song Mingyu and said, "Mingyu, your mother is angry. I'll take it as her saying something in anger. You and Jinzhong have been together for over a year and have a foundation of feelings for each other. Auntie wants to ask what you think."

"We're not getting married!"

Song Mingyu was furious. "Whoever wants to marry you can marry into your family. I dare not marry into a family like yours."

She used to think Zhao Jinzhong was good to her and willing to spend money on her, and Zhang Guiying was easy to manipulate. But now... she dares to come to her house to cause trouble before they're even married.

She must be crazy to marry into the Zhao family.

"What a tragedy!"

Zhang Guiying slapped her thigh, acting cheerfully, "A forced marriage is never sweet. Since your family is determined not to arrange the marriage, I can't force it. So let's call it off."

"Get out of my house."

"You can't leave now."

Zhang Guiying wiped away her tears and said, "Since we can't be in-laws anymore, let's settle our accounts."

"What accounts are we set up?"

"The money my family, Jinzhong, spent on you."

Song Mingyu was furious. "Isn't it normal for a guy to spend some money when dating? Your family can't afford to live anymore, and you expect me to pay this back?"

The neighbors also felt that Zhang Guiying had gone too far.

Zhang Guiying sighed heavily, raising her voice to make sure everyone watching could hear, "Mingyu, if it were really just a little bit, Auntie wouldn't be able to bring herself to ask you for it."

"But you've been dating Jinzhong for over a year, and he's spent all his savings from the past few years on you. My Jinzhong was dating you with marriage in mind, so he was spending the money on his own wife. Now that you're not marrying him, I have to get the money back for him to get married."

Song Mingyu blushed. "Fine, you fine with it. I won't shortchange you a single penny of what you owe your family."

"Then Auntie won't stand on ceremony with you."

In his previous life, when Zhao Jinzhong got married, Song Mingyu asked for a dowry of one thousand yuan and a television set. Zhang Guiying told him to contribute some money as well. Zhao Jinzhong had no choice but to tell her that all the money he had saved had been spent on Song Mingyu.

Zhang Guiying didn't believe it.

Zhao Jinzhong then did the math for her.

Zhang Guiying remembered this debt very clearly.

Zhang Guiying counted on her fingers, "The Forever brand bicycle you're riding now was bought for you by my husband Jinzhong. Everyone knows the Forever brand bicycle; it costs 263 yuan."

"And Mingyu, that gold necklace you're wearing, my Jinzhong bought it for your birthday this year. Gold is 70 yuan per gram this year, so that necklace cost 780 yuan."

"And that Shanghai brand watch you're wearing on your wrist, that was also bought by Jinzhong, it cost 120 yuan in total."

"After you two started dating, my Jinzhong would come to give you gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival. Each time it was two bottles of Wuliangye liquor, two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes, two pig hind legs, and some snacks and candies. Two bottles of Wuliangye cost 70 yuan, two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes cost 12 yuan, and two pig hind legs weighed about 40 jin, so I'll say it cost you 75 yuan. I won't count the snacks and candies."

"That would cost 157 yuan per trip, one trip during the Mid-Autumn Festival and one trip during the Spring Festival, so two trips would cost 314 yuan."

Zhang Guiying's mind was racing with calculations. "It's 1477 yuan in total. I'll round it down to zero, so you only need to give me 1470 yuan back."

"I won't count the clothes and shoes Jinzhong buys for you, or the expenses when you two go out to eat or see movies together. It's only right for a boy to spend some money when he's dating."

The words fell.

The scene was completely silent.

The neighbors were like chickens with their throats being choked, too shocked to utter a sound.

I've been dating her for over a year, and I've already spent over a thousand yuan of her money, without even calculating it carefully... They were the ones who started the nasty conversation.

That much money is enough to marry two wives.

And yet they still demanded a dowry of 2,000 yuan and three major gifts.

What a big face!

More importantly, Song Mingyu just said that she had no intention of repaying the money.

If it's not a lot of money, then forget it.

That's 1,500.

You're dating someone, not even engaged yet, and you're already accepting so many expensive gifts, waiting for them to ask for them back before returning them. What kind of character is that?

It's one thing that Song Mingyu is too young and doesn't understand things, but Song Beiping and Li Shufen, as parents, are also too immature?

Did you just accept their gifts as a matter of course?

The way the neighbors looked at Song Mingyu and her daughter completely changed.

People who love to take advantage and are snobbish should be avoided in the future.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Zhang Guiying finally felt relieved.

She came to our door today to disrupt Huang Zhaojinzhong and Song Mingyu's marriage and to nail Song Mingyu to the pillar of shame, so that she won't be able to use that face to harass others in the future.

Zhang Guiying stretched out her hand. "Mingyu, if you have no objections, please return the money. Auntie is quite busy. I finally got a day off, and I still have to go back to do laundry and cook."

"..."

Song Mingyu was a little flustered.

When Zhang Guiying gave the specific figures, she was stunned.

Zhao Jinzhong was willing to spend money on her. When she went shopping with Zhao Jinzhong, she never asked about the price. She herself didn't even know that she had spent so much money on Zhao Jinzhong.

But the prices of everything are open and transparent.

Song Mingyu had no way to deny it.

Song Mingyu works at a soy sauce factory, earning a little over fifty yuan a month. The money she earns isn't even enough for her own expenses, and she needs her parents to subsidize her every month. How could she possibly have the money to repay Zhang Guiying?

"Mom!" Song Mingyu tugged at Li Shufen's sleeve, looking at her in a panic.

"..."

Li Shufen felt dizzy.

She wanted to deny it, to say that Zhao Jinzhong had given these things to Mingyu voluntarily, but seeing the looks in the neighbors' eyes, she swallowed her words back.

If this money isn't returned, Mingyu's reputation will be completely ruined.
