Chapter 4 Husband Confronts Elder Brother
At my question, Zhang Lin froze briefly before replying immediately:
"My brother definitely agrees."
"Oh. Then let me call him."
The phone connected instantly. Husband said on speakerphone:
"You lock the door where our daughter is sleeping. Don't argue with them. I'll be home soon."
I understood now—he had seen everything through the surveillance camera he installed after I found out I was pregnant. He always worried about accidents happening at home.
Within three minutes, Zhang Lin returned home smiling:
"Elder Brother, what are you doing here?"
"You're back at the right time. Your wife just got out of hospital. Nobody can help during Confinement Period. Wanted your wife and mother-in-law to help us. Isn't that okay?"
"It is okay. But this help can't be free. Look at my wife, my mother-in-law, and all household expenses. You need to pay for them."
"Naturally. We won't let you do this for free."
"That is good. Confinement Centers usually charge five or six ten thousand yuan. My friendship discount is thirty thousand yuan. No less."
He pulled out his WeChat payment code. "Scan it."
"What does this mean, Thirty thousand yuan! Are you trying to rob us?" Zhang Liang shouted furiously.
"Husband, you've become so greedy! Family members should help each other. Why charge money?" Mother-in-law screamed accusingly.
"Mama, you're wrong. Brothers still need clear accounts. Plus, Elder Brother has never helped me before. As Mother-in-law, you don't even help your daughter in law suit during Confinement Period. Neither did you help my wife. Such a good Mother-in-law!"
"You... My health has always been poor, you know that!" Mother-in-law sobbed dramatically.
"My wife also has poor health. My mother-in-law also has poor health."
"You..."
Suddenly, Zhang Liang laughed sarcastically:
"I see. You just don't want to help. Talking about thirty thousand yuan!"
"Yes. Be sensible and leave now."
"If I don't leave, can you do anything about it?" Zhang Liang acted like a rogue.
"If I don't leave, we will call the police," I shouted loudly. A group of rogues!
"No need for that. I'll leave if we all go together and transfer the house ownership to our names today."
So their real goal was taking our School District Property all along!
