Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 72.2: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (70)
The Huang family was filled with anger, so they could only vent it on the Zheng family. No one could tell whether the Huang family had any hand in Zheng Xiaolei’s transfer to another school.
Zheng Xiaolei’s transfer to another school was a foregone conclusion. To make matters worse for the Zheng family, Zheng Yaozu was missing and he hadn’t sent any money home for a long time.
The Zheng family didn’t have much assets, and the old couple had no income for a long time, but the mortgage for a house in the school district of a key primary school was not low. In addition, in order to retain his first home qualification, Zheng Yaozu put the house in the name of the old couple.
The old couple is old, so the bank’s loan amount is not high, but the repayment period is set very short, so the amount to be repaid each month is very high.
Seeing that the deadline for paying off the mortgage was approaching, Father Zheng had no choice but to ask his three daughters for money.
But the financial conditions of the husbands’ families of the three daughters were not that good either. After two months of gritting their teeth and helping to support them, the husbands discovered that the eldest and second daughters were giving money to their parents’ home.
The family, which was not well-off to begin with, quarreled over the money and even came to the point of physical violence. After the quarrel, the two sons-in-law no longer dared to let their wives manage the money.
The third son-in-law discovered this relatively late, but once he discovered it, it became a major earthquake in the Zheng family.
The third son-in-law did not beat his wife. Instead, he rushed to the city and beat up his father-in-law. Compared with his two brothers-in-law who only treated the symptoms but not the root cause, the third son-in-law went straight to the core of the problem.
Father Zheng was an old man, and his son-in-law was young and strong. How could they be a match? The third son-in-law had lost so much money that he no longer had any thoughts of respecting the elderly and loving the young. He beat Father Zheng to the ground for a long time and he couldn’t get up. He also looted a lot of valuable things from Zheng’s house and left.
But Father Zheng was a bully who only feared the strong and the weak. When encountering such a thing, he did not dare to call the police, but instead swallowed his anger.
Since he could no longer rely on his three daughters, Zheng’s father went to look for other relatives. However, the other relatives knew that Zheng Yaozu would most likely never get back on his feet after the incident in his second marriage, so they simply avoided him.
Even the eldest uncle, who took a lot of money from the Zheng family to do business, was avoiding Father Zheng at this time. Even if Father Zheng picked up bottles all night, he could not pay the bank’s extremely high monthly mortgage.
Seeing that the bank was going to force an auction, Father Zheng finally made up his mind and sold the house.
Because the house was sold in a hurry, the selling price was not high. After Father Zheng paid off the loan, the money he got was not much. It was even slightly lower than the down payment he paid at the beginning. But after receiving this money, the Zheng family finally felt relieved.
Life in the city was too much for two elderly people with no income. After careful consideration, Father Zheng decided to take Mother Zheng and his grandson back to the countryside.
When the family left Lincheng city, they happened to encounter a wedding.
The wedding was extremely lively. The wedding car was distributing wedding candies along the way. They were all very high-end candies, and many people even followed it all the way.
When Zheng Xiaolei saw the candies, he was immediately attracted to them. Father Zheng followed him and helped pick up the candies. He only stopped after seeing the bride sitting in the front of the convertible sports car.
“I heard that it was a big boss marrying off his daughter, and he had too much money to spend. As long as we said a few auspicious words, he gave us cigarettes and candy. He was so generous.”
“When a big boss marries his daughter, it must be a match made in heaven. Rich people always marry strong people.”
“You are really wrong. This time, the big boss’s daughter married an ordinary policeman. His family doesn’t have much money, but the big boss said that he values his integrity.”
“You’re talking nonsense. When a big boss marries his daughter, it’s either to a rich man or a powerful man. She must be a director or something like that.”
“I’m not talking nonsense. My nephew and the groom are from the same unit. He is just an ordinary policeman. But when they were dating, the big boss owed a lot of money. How can you say he is a big boss? He owed hundreds of millions, but he paid it off in a year or two.”
“So they are still lovers who share weal and woe. No wonder they stick together even after they became rich.”
“I heard that the big boss likes this son-in-law very much. He bought a villa and moved his whole family in together. He said that this is the only way to reunite the family. He loves his son-in-law so much that he is almost like his own father.”
“You love your son-in-law so much, so do you want him to inherit the company in the future?”
“The big boss has this idea, but his son-in-law likes to be a policeman, so he can only focus on training his daughter and grandchildren.”
“That’s right. The family is so rich. It’s tiring to inherit the family fortune. It’s better to do something you want to do.”
Listening to the envious words of passers-by, Father Zheng felt like a bottle of seasoning had been overturned in his heart.
Father Zheng recalled that when the Shao family got into trouble, Shao Yu sent his daughter home, but his family did not treat the daughter well. They wanted to divorce her on the same day and even took away the most valuable things of the family when divorcing.
Father Zheng had planned everything, but he never expected that Shao Yu would one day make a comeback. He just felt that if his son had not divorced Shao Mingzhu, maybe he would be the one living in the big villa with them now.
It is even possible that Shao Yu would forgive Zheng Xiaolei’s existence after seeing how well the Zheng family performed during difficult times.
Father Zheng was imagining the scene in his mind, but soon the bustle in front of him interrupted his thoughts. Father Zheng looked at the wedding car that was gradually moving away and gradually returned to reality.
Zheng Xiaolei was still urging him: “Grandpa, hurry up and catch up, I want more candy!”
Zheng Xiaolei’s pockets were full of wedding candies at this time, but he still felt it was not enough and shouted for more.
