Chapter 660 Young Man Admires 5
Among the people watching the show outside the door was the auntie who had shown Lingyao the way this morning. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds in her hand, looked at Lingyao and said "oh".
"Aren't you the city girl from this morning? She said she was my relative and I showed her the way. She even drove here today!"
The village chief took one look at Lingyao's expensive attire and listened to the discussions around him, and guessed that there must be a misunderstanding about what happened today.
But Huang Xiaofang next to her was still howling, and even said "Pooh" "What a city person, a piece of scum with no manners at all. She broke my wrist this morning and it still hurts! Ouch, it hurts so much!"
Everyone looked at Huang Xiaofang as if they were watching a show.
Zhang Wenqin, who was standing next to Huang Xiaofang, stood quietly a little further away from Huang Xiaofang. She had just told her mother not to act like a rogue in front of the village chief, as it would make people laugh at her, but her mother refused to listen to her.
Lingyao was too lazy to get entangled with Huang Xiaofang and just looked at the village chief who had the most say in the village.
"Village Chief, let's talk about Brother Zhang Dingyu."
……
"You want to take them both away?" The village chief was over fifty years old and had seen a lot of things, but he was still shocked when he heard Lingyao's request.
After all, Lingyao and Zhang Dingyu were strangers to each other, yet they actually proposed the idea of taking them to live and study in the city. Raising children was both time-consuming and expensive, let alone raising two children.
Even the Zhang family members who are related by blood cannot do this.
Just look at Zhang Qinghe and his wife. They brought their whole family to live in Zhang Dingyu's house, and Zhang Dingyu had to make a living under their care.
But these are other people's affairs, and the village chief can't help except giving a few suggestions.
After all, whoever wants to get involved in this matter, Zhang Qinghe will just say, "Then you raise these two boys" and stop the nosy person.
These days, when we have our own children to deal with, we don’t have the time to take care of other people’s children.
I didn’t expect that such a “meddlesome” person would actually appear.
At this time, the house had been cleared out by the village chief, and outsiders could only hide outside and eavesdrop. Only the village chief, his son who was the village party secretary, the Zhang family, and Lingyao were inside the house.
Zhang Dingyu also insisted on being present, but Zhang Dingrui was called back to his room.
Zhang Qinghe's family, who originally regarded Zhang Dingyu and his brother as a burden, were shocked at first and then subconsciously refused when they heard Lingyao's request.
"No way. We have worked so hard to raise Zhang Dingyu to this age. Now she can make money. If she wants to leave, she has to leave!"
In his words, he completely treated Zhang Dingyu as an object that could make money.
"Your opinion doesn't count in this matter. Zhang Dingyu has the right to education and the right to freedom of life. It's illegal for you to force him to go out to work. Or should I find a lawyer to talk to you some other day?"
Lingyao came back indifferently. She was now physically and mentally exhausted. She hadn't even had a sip of water since she got here, and her throat was a little dry.
Just speed up the process with just one word.
"Tell me what your conditions are." Knowing how greedy Zhang Qinghe's family was, Lingyao added coldly, "Remember, you only have one chance. If you want to ask for too much, you'd better wait for the lawyer to come and talk to you."
Zhang Qinghe's family was already nervous when they heard about the lawyer. In Taiping Village, even police officers who manage public security are rare, and any family that has a policeman as a child will be the object of everyone's praise.
Where have you ever seen a lawyer? They are the elites and high-class people wearing suits and ties in TV dramas! I heard that lawyers can make you think that even a dead lawyer is alive, and they can betray you for as many years as they want!
Huang Xiaofang and Zhang Qinghe looked at each other, feeling a little nervous.
Zhang Wenqin, who had the highest education, was still relatively calm. Seeing that her parents were panicking and couldn't find their backbone, she secretly tugged at the corner of Huang Xiaofang's clothes.
Huang Xiaofang was feeling anxious, and was startled by Zhang Wenqin's pull. She shuddered all over: "You stupid girl, why did you suddenly pull me?"
Everyone immediately looked towards the two of them.
Including the woman who acted superior in every way.
Zhang Wenqin felt ashamed of herself when she saw her indifferent and empty eyes. She felt that all her thoughts were seen through by this woman in an instant.
She turned her head away in a hurry, but did not give up.
Just like the woman said, this is their home and her only chance.
She pulled Huang Xiaofang and Zhang Qinghe aside and talked in a low voice.
Huang Xiaofang frowned after hearing her words: "Will she agree to 20 yuan? What if she asks a lawyer to come and collect the money? Besides, you are studying well in the county, why do you want to go to the city?"
Zhang Wenqin said logically, "She will definitely agree to 20 yuan. I've seen the watch on her hand in a classmate's magazine. It's worth tens of thousands of yuan. Her clothes also look very expensive. And didn't you hear what Aunt Wang said today? She drove here."
Huang Xiaofang made an exaggerated expression of "whoa", carefully leaned over to look at Lingyao, then quickly retracted her gaze, raised her hands to cover her face and whispered: "Is her watch so expensive? Then wouldn't our 20 be too little? If we ask for a little more, we can build a big new house for your second and third brothers!"
Zhang Wenqin was speechless and depressed. Her mother always thought about her second and third brothers in everything. So what if she built a big house? The whole family could still live in the countryside!
The second brother, that idiot, will find another country girl as his wife, and continue to follow the old path of her parents, farming in the mountains all his life, and then give birth to a house full of "second brothers"
That is why Zhang Wenqin needs to think more about herself.
"Mom, they are rich, but Zhang Dingyu has nothing to do with them. If you ask for too much, she will definitely not agree."
Huang Xiaofang was stabbed by her own daughter, and only then did she let go of the idea in disappointment.
However, Zhang Qinghe's focus was different. This middle-aged man, who had achieved nothing in most of his life and was always overshadowed by Zhang Shuijiang, looked at Zhang Wenqin.
"Qin'er, why do you want to go to the city to study?"
When Zhang Wenqin saw that her father also asked her, she knew that the matter was half done.
She spoke out the speech she had prepared long ago.
"Dad, you know that education in the city is completely different from that in the village. My grades in the county high school entrance examination are good enough for me to get into an ordinary first-class university. But it's different in the city. The city has good educational resources. It's easy to get into a university. If you work hard, you can even get into a key university!"
When he heard the word "key university", Zhang Qinghe's eyes were obviously different, because Zhang Shuijiang had been admitted to a key university.
Zhang Wenqin noticed the relaxation on her father's face and continued, "And if I went to the city with them to study, I could report to you about their situation at any time. Dad, if they both got into key universities, but we only had one student who got into an ordinary university..."
The last sentence hit Zhang Qinghe's chest. His face sank immediately. "Okay, I'll do as you say."
But he added one more question: "Can't you just let your brother go with you?"
