Capítulo 1585: Chapter 1586: The Girl with Three Failures 93

Uncle Zhang knew his wife’s sharp tongue must have said something unpleasant, otherwise, the second son and his family wouldn’t be so angry. But he didn’t expect her to first ridicule Zhang Yu for being wealthy and looking down on people.

When his wife was talking about Zhang Yu, he was there and didn’t see anything wrong with what she said. The second son’s job was good, but he wasn’t good at networking and was always just a low-level clerk. As for the sister-in-law, her workplace wasn’t doing well, and her salary had always been low.

They had another daughter, so wasn’t it quite normal for them to be looked down upon? Who would have thought that Zhang Yu, such a girl, would become so outstanding and become the most successful person in the entire family.

What’s more important is that this child holds grudges. Ever since that incident, Zhang Yu only comes by once during the New Year to host, but never shows up the rest of the time.

The brothers even brought witnesses, which indicated clearly that his wife’s actions were the problem.

After Uncle Zhang hung up the phone, he glared viciously at his wife, “You fool, it was clearly you who first spoke against Zhang Yu, that girl. I told you long ago, we’ve grown distant from that girl, so there’s no need to offend her.”

“But how did you, this fool, handle it? You just had to provoke her.”

“The second son said they bought a house and need money for renovation.” Even the second son mentioned it without any negotiation. Uncle Zhang knew this money had to be returned and couldn’t be delayed any longer.

What? Aunt Zhang was shocked, “They, they actually bought a house?” Turns out they weren’t just seeing houses, they actually bought one.

Uncle Zhang finally realized, “They bought a house? The second son’s family actually bought a house?” He never thought his own younger brother could buy a house.

Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes without reserve. Really, during the phone call earlier, didn’t even think to ask, just realized it now, how foolish.

“Why didn’t you clarify things?” Aunt Zhang kept praying in her heart, hoping they didn’t buy a house in that neighborhood; otherwise, wouldn’t it suppress her own family?

Uncle Zhang picked up the phone again to call Mr. Zhang, who originally thought it was to apologize a bit. This big brother was always so hypocritical.

Unexpectedly, it wasn’t to apologize, but to confirm his house purchase.

Mr. Zhang is an honest man: Yes, we bought a house in the same neighborhood of the eldest sister-in-law today, a three-bedroom, two-living room, two-bathroom house.

Mr. Zhang wanted to say more, but Mrs. Zhang snatched the phone: Big brother, we just found out Little Yu was buying us a house.

Mrs. Zhang initially wanted to say it was mortgage-bought, but then remembered that the in-laws had also visited the property. With just a little inquiry, it’d be found out: it was bought in full, along with three parking spaces.

Uncle Zhang was taken aback when he heard Mrs. Zhang say it was bought in full, such a big house bought in full: bought in full?

Aunt Zhang was dumbfounded to the side, bought in full? She looked at Uncle Zhang in surprise, wondering if it was a problem with her hearing.

Mrs. Zhang: Yes, bought in full, so there’s no money for renovations. Big brother, the money’s been borrowed for a long time. If you really don’t have money, fine, but your family still bought a car in full cash earlier this year.

Mrs. Zhang: I and Old Zhang always felt it was tough for you guys, but turns out it wasn’t tough, but rather you have money and don’t want to repay.

Mrs. Zhang: Big brother, pay back the money. If I had known you guys said I was poor and just scrounging, I really wouldn’t have lent you money.

Uncle Zhang angrily glared at his own clueless wife. If she hadn’t blabbed outside, none of this would have happened. Now it’s bad, they’re being asked to pay back money.

Uncle Zhang: But paying back by tomorrow is too tight, we can’t come up with it.

Mrs. Zhang: When will you repay?

Mrs. Zhang knew paying by tomorrow was pushing it, but at least there needed to be sincere efforts.

Uncle Zhang sensed Mrs. Zhang was a bit softening and thought: How about another year?

Mrs. Zhang didn’t expect Uncle Zhang to be so shameless it really pissed her off: How many years has it been, and you still want another year, when is it ever timely?

Mrs. Zhang felt she really couldn’t give him any face: Let’s have it done by tomorrow night, or I’ll go to your workplace and your son’s workplace on Monday.

Mrs. Zhang: I know, big brother, you value your reputation. You wouldn’t want your coworkers to know your house purchase was funded by loans and you don’t repay it, right?

Uncle Zhang did not expect that his earlier words would provoke the second son’s fury, cutting off any delay. He truly regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would definitely have said six months or several months, now it’s all messed up.

Uncle Zhang: Mrs. Xiao Yu, you know our family just bought a car, and honestly, we don’t have much cash left, you see?

Mrs. Zhang: That’s your money, you said you’d pay it back when you had money, but that turned out to be nonsense, and your son knows you owe money too, his income isn’t low, but do you plan to repay?

Mrs. Zhang: Big brother, stop stalling here with me, you’d be better off thinking about raising money.

Seeing Mrs. Zhang not budging, Uncle Zhang couldn’t think of what else to do but reluctantly prepare to hang up the phone.

Uncle Zhang reluctantly gave up, but Aunt Zhang wasn’t willing, she snatched the phone: Is it only my family that borrowed money from yours, the third son’s family also borrowed money, why don’t you ask them for the money?

Aunt Zhang: So, do you think we’re easy to bully, just forcing us to repay?

Mrs. Zhang never intended to let anyone off, since she already decided to ask for money, naturally, no one was getting away. Hearing Aunt Zhang’s words, she smiled: Rest assured, big sister-in-law, I will go ask the third son’s family for money too, after all, it was your suggestion.

Without waiting for Aunt Zhang to react, Mrs. Zhang hung up the phone and started calling those relatives who owed money, asking them to repay. If they didn’t, she’d unfurl a banner outside their workplace demanding repayment.

Nobody expected Mrs. Zhang would do this, they were all shocked. Their first reaction was why such a sudden demand for repayment.

Mrs. Zhang: We bought a house in full cash, there’s no money for renovations, so I asked my big brother for the money. Big sister-in-law said it can’t just be her family repaying, I thought the same, renovating the house requires money, and you guys have borrowed for quite some time too.

Mrs. Zhang: If you don’t repay by tomorrow night, I’ll unfurl a banner outside your workplace.

After saying that, Mrs. Zhang hung up the phone. As for how much chaos ensued on their end, it was no longer her concern.

Everyone was really surprised that Zhang Yu’s family had bought a house, especially since it was bought in full. But their primary concern now was why the Zhang family’s eldest was suddenly forcing them to repay, it was truly excessive.

One by one, they unhappily called Uncle Zhang’s house, only to learn that Mrs. Zhang had called them individually demanding repayment, otherwise, they’d face the same treatment.

Uncle Zhang also couldn’t be bothered to tangle with them: Yes, shouldn’t borrowed money be returned? Alright, instead of spending time chattering with me here, why not think about raising funds?

He didn’t want to evade responsibility, but he knew when the truth comes out, it’d be a slap in the face, so he might as well focus on quick repayment.
