Chapter 87 Dowry
The original owner, Zhang Shan, had parents who went into business in the 1980s and made a considerable fortune. She had lived a wealthy life since childhood and had never worried about money.
But life is not always smooth sailing. The original owner suffered a major setback in her marriage and ended the relationship with bruises all over her body.
The original owner also had a daughter named Xu Hui, who was raised by the original owner like a little princess.
When Xu Hui grew up, she was well-behaved and pretty, had excellent grades, was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and won many competition trophies.
The original owner thought she had raised her daughter to be excellent, but she didn't know that she had secretly started a relationship at school.
The male classmate was admitted to university in City A from a small county. His family conditions were not good. When the original owner saw him, she seemed to see Xu Hui's father, her ex-husband, who was a Phoenix man.
After graduating from college, Xu Hui brought the man to her and said that she had found the true love of her life. She wanted to marry Nong Zhenyu and have children for him.
The original owner didn't expect Xu Hui to be so irrational. No matter how she tried to dissuade her, she wouldn't listen.
"Mom is not happy herself, and she can't bear to see me happy. You are so petty, no wonder Dad doesn't want you!"
Xu Hui's words were like a sharp blade, piercing the original owner's heart and breaking her heart into pieces.
But the original owner still loved her daughter. Although she was hurt by him, she still considered her carefully and bought her two million insurance as a dowry.
Nong Zhenyu's parents' plan failed, and their true colors were revealed after marriage. They took advantage of Xu Hui's lack of cash dowry to control her.
Later, Nong Zhenyu also cheated on her, and Xu Hui felt that the misfortune in her marriage was caused by the fact that the original owner did not prepare a dowry for her.
So, he drove the car and hit Yuan to death.
……
"You can have custody of Xu Hui, but the family property must be split equally between you!"
Xu Chaoping was leaning lazily on the sofa, with a dead pig fearless of boiling water. What's wrong with him gambling? What's wrong with the C track? It's not that this woman has lost her attraction to him. He just made a mistake that all men would make.
"Xu Hui, I don't have to earn money, but you can't have a penny of my property!"
"Then I won't leave."
"You don't have to get a divorce. Your creditors can come looking for you at any time. If you get beaten to death, I won't pay you a penny."
"Zhang Shan, are you really going to be so heartless?"
The man put away his careless smile and glared at Zhang Shan fiercely. After so many years of relationship, was she really going to be so cruel?
"What do you think?"
In the previous life, the original owner gave up half of his property in order to fight for the custody of Xu Hui. Zhang Shan felt sorry for the money.
If you don't pay, doesn't that mean you'll be kicked out of the house?
Xu Chaoping was naturally unwilling and kept dragging it out. Zhang Shan was not in a hurry either, so she just let it go.
It was not until the creditor came to his door and beat Xu Chaoping up that Xu Chaoping thought of running away to avoid debt.
But no matter where he hid, he would be caught by his creditors and beaten up.
Some creditors may be real creditors, while some creditors really just want to beat people up.
"If I divorce you, will those creditors really not come looking for me?"
"No, but at least they will pursue the debt in a friendly manner."
Because the people who beat him were hired by Zhang Shan, and after the divorce, they naturally would not beat him anymore.
The divorce case was quickly concluded.
Xu Chaoping was removed from Zhang Shan's household registration because of his debt.
As the one with a better life, Zhang Shan got custody of Xu Hui.
With both money and beauty, Zhang Shan bought another property.
Her parents left her a lot of money, enough for her to squander for the rest of her life.
But only for her.
Xu Hui did not receive this treatment.
Because her parents were not able to leave her tens of millions of assets, but Xu Chaoping had millions of debts.
"Mom, I want to go back to my old school."
Xu Hui sat next to Zhang Shan hesitantly, looking at Zhang Shan holding fried chicken in one hand and Coke in the other, and swallowed subconsciously.
The annual tuition for her previous kindergarten was over 100,000 yuan, not including her school uniform and classroom toys.
The original owner was willing to train Xu Hui, but now that it has been replaced by Zhang Shan, she will not spend all the money on Xu Hui.
"Mom, I haven't practiced the piano for a long time. I miss Teacher Yu."
Oh, Zhang Shan also stopped her special classes.
"We've sold the piano at home. Besides, didn't you dislike playing the piano before? If you don't like it, then don't learn it."
Let’s start with her as a bad parent. She is an ungrateful person anyway, so it’s better to invest in herself. At least every piece of flesh on her body will not deceive herself.
Maybe, if she gained weight, she could survive the car accident.
After all, fat has cushioning properties.
Xu Hui felt very aggrieved. Not only did her salary decline, but her mother also stopped caring about her.
"Mom, I miss Dad." In the past, whenever she mentioned her father, her mother would be very nice to her.
"Then you can only think about it slowly. Your father is hiding from debt in another place and can't come back to see you now."
"Mom, you have so much money, why can't you help Dad pay off his debts? That way he won't have to hide out."
"Because mom's money belongs to mom. It's the guarantee your grandparents left for mom."
"Then, mother, will you give me any protection?"
She is still young and doesn't understand much, but she also understands that security is a good thing, with lots of money to spend, and endless new clothes and toys to wear.
"Yes, mom left you a lot of money, but your dad took it all to gamble, so you won't have any new clothes or toys in the future."
Xu Hui couldn't hold back and burst into tears. Her cry was so miserable that people couldn't help but feel pity for her.
But that was someone else, not Zhang Shan. After Xu Hui finished crying, Zhang Shan continued watching the show.
"Mom, you don't even come to comfort me!"
"Yesterday, Mom cried, but Huihui didn't try to comfort her. Mom thinks Huihui is already a big kid and has learned to sort out her emotions."
The original owner cried so hard some time ago that she almost had thoughts of suicide.
And what about Xu Hui?
She was eating cake nearby, and after finishing the cake she confided to her good friend how terrible her mother's crying sounded.
Xu Hui couldn't remember this incident, but Zhang Shan saw it clearly in the original owner's memory.
"Mom, you are so stingy!"
"Yes, Huihui is also stingy!"
Zhang Shan showed no maternal love at all. She finished her snacks and went back to her room to continue watching the show.
Xu Hui’s kindergarten is right at the entrance of the community. It is an educational facility provided by the community. She is six years old now and can go to and from school by herself. Zhang Shan is not worried at all.
In the morning, Xu Hui was awakened by the alarm clock and went to kindergarten reluctantly.
She used to dislike going to kindergarten.
I don't like it even more now.
In the past, kindergarten teachers were gentle and kind, the children were either wealthy or well-educated, and the games were rich and colorful. Unlike now, the only games are playing handkerchief dropping and chicken catching, which is very boring.
What disgusted her most was that the boys in her class liked to pull her hair and the girls liked to pull her skirt.
This has never happened before.
Children often express their love in a simple and rough way, such as a boy pulling a girl's pigtails, a girl liking pretty skirts, or wanting to make friends with a cute girl but being too embarrassed to hold her hand and so being able to just pull her skirt.
This is not uncommon, but Xu Hui has rarely seen it. Her previous friends were all good at expressing themselves, and this kind of situation had never happened to her.
After Xu Chaoping's divorce, he found that no one bothered him anymore, so he started over and lost all the money he had borrowed.
Then, fearing that he would be beaten, he fled to another place.
The creditors found Zhang Shan again and said, "Your husband owes us money, you should pay it back quickly, or don't blame us for being rude!"
The man was aggressive and looked like someone who was not easy to mess with. Zhang Shan was not afraid at all. "Let me correct you. Xu Chaoping is my ex-husband. We are divorced. I have no obligation to help him pay the debt. This is his daughter. You can wait until she grows up and then the son can pay the debt."
Xu Hui hid behind the door in fear. If Zhang Shan hadn't been standing at the door, holding her body against it, she might have really locked Zhang Shan out.
"Your ex-husband ran away!"
"If he runs away, just chase him. What's the point of you coming to me?"
"Didn't he tell you where he was going?"
"Come on, brother, we are divorced. We are in this relationship now. Do you think we will keep in touch again?"
The debt collector also thought it made sense.
Several groups of debt collectors came one after another, but none of them took a penny from Zhang Shan.
Since her divorce, Zhang Shan has become a miser. She spends money on herself without blinking an eye, but when others want to use her money, she can't find it no matter how hard she tries.
Such as now.
"Mom, I want that princess dress, can you buy it for me?"
"If Huihui likes it, you can buy it yourself. Mom remembers that you still have a lot of New Year's money. Didn't grandpa and grandma give you a lot when they were still alive? Mom saved it all for you."
Then, Zhang Shan gave all the money belonging to Xu Hui to her. Xu Hui had no concept of money, so she used the money to buy her favorite princess dress.
But no matter how much money she had, she couldn't spend it like this. After spending lavishly for half a year, Xu Hui's little treasury was finally used up.
Her idea was simple: this was her money and she could make the decision. Even if the money was all spent, she would still receive New Year's money every year.
Soon, the New Year arrived.
Zhang Shan basically didn't go out to pay New Year's greetings. If someone wanted to see her, they would only greet her over the phone. Everyone thought that Zhang Shan was heartbroken and was hiding in the dark, not daring to come out and see anyone.
Xu Chaoping had already offended all of his relatives, so naturally they didn't want to have any contact with Xu Hui. Xu's father and mother favored boys over girls, and had no plans to bring Xu Hui back home for the New Year.
"Mom, Happy New Year, give me the red envelope!"
Zhang Shan gave her a red note for good luck.
"Only one?" Xu Hui was very disappointed. She remembered that every year when she went to pay New Year's greetings, they would give her a lot of New Year's money, and she couldn't help but feel excited.
"Mom, shall we go to pay New Year's greetings?"
"No, I want to catch up on the drama!"
Then, Zhang Shan closed the door coldly and ruthlessly, leaving Xu Hui extremely disappointed.
When you go to someone else's house, you have to give their children New Year's money. Although it is a mutual gift, Zhang Shan is not happy when the money goes into Xu Hui's pocket.
It would be better to just lie at home and watch TV.
In a blink of an eye, Xu Hui went to high school and lived on campus for three years, so she had even less contact with Zhang Shan.
Xu Hui's grades were not as good as in her previous life. After all, she was well-fed in her previous life. In this life, she had no money to attend tutoring classes, so her grades were just average among ordinary high schools.
The college entrance examination results came out, and Xu Hui performed exceptionally well, scoring just enough to get into a second-tier university.
But if you don’t fill in the application form correctly with this score, you really won’t be able to go to school.
Xu Hui is that kind of person. She didn't listen to the teacher's advice and thought that her luck would remain the same and she could get into a second-tier university.
I didn’t expect it to slip!
There won’t be as many good schools in the next batch of applications.
