Chapter 96 Faking Death to Escape Debt

Chapter 96 Faking Death to Escape Debt

The original owner met her husband Li Heng through a blind date.

Both of their parents are teachers with relatively conservative ideas. They believe that marriage is a compulsory course in life. When they found out that the other party's children were still unmarried at the age of 30, they discussed becoming in-laws.

The original owner and Li Heng did not like each other. The original owner thought Li Heng was not good-looking, and Li Heng wanted a good wife who could help him in his career.

The two of them didn't like each other, but both sets of parents were very satisfied.

Under pressure from their parents, the two finally got married.

Li Heng opened a small company in the city. The company was not large, but Li Heng had big ambitions.

Less than a year after their marriage, the company went bankrupt. Li Heng couldn't accept the blow and committed suicide.

When Li Heng committed suicide, the original owner was on a business trip in another province. When he rushed back, his parents-in-law had already cremated Li Heng.

All she got were Li Heng's ashes and tens of millions of debts.

After Li Heng died, the creditors came looking for the original owner, who wanted to sell their wedding house to pay off the debts. However, the name of Li Heng's parents was written on the house title deed, and his parents-in-law were unwilling to use their retirement house to pay off the debts.

"You and Li Heng are husband and wife. These debts are your joint debts. They have nothing to do with us two old people. If you dare to sell this house, we will jump from here."

Under the threat of his parents-in-law and creditors, the original owner went home to ask his parents for help, but his parents also avoided him.

"Shanshan, we are old now, and it is not easy to earn a little money. These are our coffin money, and we can't touch them easily. You are still young and have time to fight and struggle, but we are old and can't work anymore. This money should be used as a way out for us."

Under the pressure of life, the original owner quit his stable job, worked three jobs, and spent twenty years to pay off his debts.

After the original owner paid off his debt, the dead husband returned with his wife and children.

The original owner wanted to take Li Heng to court, but was stopped by her elderly parents, "Shanshan, we are so old and have never been to court. If our relatives knew about this, they would stab us in the back.

Besides, you are already over 50 and don’t have a child, so you should treat Li Heng’s child as your own and love him/her. When you are old, there will be someone to take care of you.”

Why did she marry Li Heng?

What was the reason why she didn't have children?

Did the original owner’s parents really not know?

With her parents threatening to commit suicide, the original owner had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and divorce Li Heng.

Li Heng is penniless now and she didn't get a penny.

……

"Shanshan, you are already 30 years old and you don't have a boyfriend. If you don't get married, we can't complete our mission."

"Your requirements are too high. This one has small eyes, that one has a flat nose, and that one has a big face. Are you going to participate in a talent show? The stars on TV are pretty, but will they like you? You have to look at your own conditions. You are not young anymore. Once a woman gets older, she is worthless..."

"My mom's colleague has a son who is the same age as you and is a big boss. It doesn't matter who a woman marries. She just needs to make do with what she has."

"Did you listen to me? I don't care. You have to go on a blind date with me this weekend!"

"I know, I know!"

Zhang Shan is most annoyed by these cerebellar thoughts: Why must a woman get married? She must have children. She must be herself first, then her parents' daughter, someone else's wife, and the child's mother.

If a person is destined from birth to become an appendage of others, destined to be someone else's cattle and slave, to live his whole life for others and confine himself to a box, then he should not come to this world.

She knew all this, but what annoyed her was when people told her she was old.

How is she old?

Is it good to be in the prime of life at the age of thirty?

In the end, I went on a blind date with Zhang's mother.

It wasn't because she was forced to do so, but because she really wanted to meet her future husband.

If he didn't go on the blind date, it would be bad if Li Heng was snatched away by someone else.

"Good" men are not available on the market.

……

In the private room.

"Teacher Li, Teacher Lin, this is my daughter Shanshan, Shanshan, please call someone."

Zhang Shan smiled shyly and called out sweetly, "Hello, Teacher Li, Hello, Teacher Lin."

"Okay, okay, this is my son, Li Heng, hurry up and call someone."

"Hello!" Li Heng raised his noble head and called people reluctantly.

Although Zhang Shan's appearance did astound him, her family background seemed ordinary and could not help him at all in his career.

But since she is so beautiful, it is okay for her to be his lover.

The family was talking animatedly and decided to give Zhang Shan and Li Heng some space to be alone, so they all left after dinner.

"You young people should move around more. Li Heng, take Shan Shan to drink milk tea. I've discovered that young people all like to drink milk tea."

Zhang Shan gave an awkward but polite smile.

After both sets of parents left, Li Heng received a phone call and left in a hurry.

"This business is really busy." Zhang Shan sighed.

Li Heng's career had just started to pick up a little. He had done a fairly decent project, but before he had even established himself, he began to think about racing and taking on big projects.

The company took on too many projects and they were very diverse. It did not have the foundation to build these projects and it did not have enough funds to turn around, so it started to borrow money.

When I got home, I saw Zhang's mother busy in the kitchen, while Zhang's father was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper. Although technology has been updated, Zhang's father still has the habit of reading newspapers.

"came back?"

Zhang's mother also stuck her head out and asked, "Why did you come back so soon? How are you getting along? When can you get married?"

"Mom, we just met, it's too early to talk about getting married."

"It's okay to get married first and then develop feelings. We all did that back then. Why is it not okay for you? You're just being pretentious."

Zhang Shan didn't want to say much, closed the door, and played on the computer for a while.

A computer check revealed that Li Heng’s current company had huge loopholes and it was only a matter of time before something went wrong.

But it was obvious that Li Heng had no reaction to any of this. Either he knew nothing about it, or someone was setting a trap for him.

Both sets of parents were very anxious and quickly agreed on a wedding date. Zhang Shan and Li Heng were forced to get married, but they had a dispute over Li Heng's wedding house.

"I don't agree. Who has ever seen a couple's wedding room with their parents' names written on it?"

"Shanshan, what you said is wrong. We bought this house, so why can't we put our names on it?"

"So this is your house, not the wedding house for Li Heng and I. Why get married without a house?"

"We only have one son, Li Heng. Of course, ours also belongs to Li Heng. How come it is not considered his house?"

"If his name isn't on the property title, then it's not his house!"

"Zhang Shan, don't be so materialistic. It's just a house, right? I will buy you ten or eight houses in the future." Li Heng was also very impatient. If Zhang Shan's parents had not been present, he would have said even harsher words.

Zhang Shan was very stubborn. “This house doesn’t have to have my name on it, but it must have Li Heng’s name on it.”

He is a thousand-year-old fox. Why play Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with him?

Aren't you just planning to use the house to suppress her and control her?

After marriage, if the three of them don't like her, they can just tell her to get out of the house. Who can she complain to then?

In order to ensure their son's smooth marriage, Li's parents gritted their teeth and went to the Housing Authority to change his name. "Is it ok now?"

After the name was changed, the property title was locked in a safe. Zhang Shan and Li Heng got their marriage certificate and moved into the new house.

Li Heng and Zhang Shan were in a cold war over the house. The two had no feelings for each other to begin with. Zhang Shan didn't care, but her mother often called her to urge her to have a baby.

"You are not young anymore. If you don't give birth soon, you will become an elderly mother in a few years, and you won't be able to get pregnant even if you want to."

"My career is on the rise now, and Li Heng doesn't have time. Mom, if I give birth to a child, will you help me take care of the child?"

She has never slept with Li Heng. If she gave birth to a child, would Li Heng dare to acknowledge it?

The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, as if thinking, "Why would you give birth to a child for us to raise? Be careful that he won't be close to you in the future."

"Mom, can you help me take care of the baby?"

"Your parents have worked so hard to raise you, and now they can't even rest when they are old, they still have to take care of your children. You really don't know how to care for others."

"Mom, just give me a definite answer, can you bring it?"

"Mom doesn't have the time, you can take care of it yourself."

"Since no one will help me take care of the child, then I won't have one. Mom, if you can't help me, then don't urge me. If you urge me and don't help me, I will be the one who suffers in the end. You are really my real mother!"

Zhang Shan didn’t care whether she was her biological mother or not. She was not her mother anyway. The original owner was submissive and didn’t know how to talk back when being scolded, let alone complain.

Zhang Shan is different. As long as she is unhappy, no one else can be happy.

After hanging up the call with her mother, Zhang Shan continued to apply the facial mask.

At this time, Li Heng's company had already encountered a crisis and was in a desperate stage. Zhang Shan did not cause trouble for him and just waited for him to fake his death before taking action.

"Shanshan, what are you doing with a suitcase?"

"My company has sent me on a business trip and I won't be back for half a month. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please take good care of yourselves at home."

"This small, shabby company is busier than us all day long, but it doesn't make much money."

After Zhang Shan left, Li's mother cursed at his back.

Then she called Li Heng to complain, "What are you busy with all day? Don't you care about your wife? You dress up like a peacock all day long, and you don't even know you're being cuckolded."

"Mom, what are you talking about? Something happened at my company. I'll go home when I'm not busy."

After hanging up the phone, Li Heng received another call from the creditor, "Brother Liu, OK, OK, we will pay you back as soon as possible, and give us a few days..."

Li Heng's phone never stopped ringing, which made him exhausted.

A week later, Li Heng's company could no longer hold on and declared bankruptcy.

Creditors surrounded every corner where Li Heng appeared.

Li Heng could only go home, "Mom, where's Zhang Shan?"

"You still remember to come back? Zhang Shan has been on a business trip for a week. You should quickly ask her to come back. Such a big thing happened at home, how can she stay out of it?"

Li's mother's words gave rise to an idea in Li Heng's mind.

Li Heng didn't sleep all night, constantly thinking about the possibilities of this idea.

When Li Heng made up his mind to do something, Zhang Shan had already ended her business trip early and returned to City A.

But she did not go home, but stayed in a hotel not far from her home.

Li Heng did not tell his parents about his plan because he was worried that his parents would not keep their mouths shut and Zhang Shan would trick them into revealing the secret.

On a dark night, Li Heng committed suicide by jumping off a building.

The news was told to Li's parents by Li Heng's cousin Li Zhong. When he returned home to report the death, he happened to meet Zhang Shan who had just returned home from a business trip.

"Sister-in-law is back?"

"I just came back after finishing work. By the way, what were you talking about just now? Who died?"
