Chapter 375: Zhan's Mother and Son Go to the Provincial Capital
Ever since Zhan Yinhua's accident, the Zhan family has had a very difficult time.
Zhan Tiehua was angry with Qin Xingzhou and only asked for a house and took away the property in her account, but she did not ask Qin Xingzhou to pay child support.
But seeing that the family was almost unable to support themselves, and Qin Xingzhou's delicatessen business was as good as ever, Zhan Tiehua had to put aside her ridiculous self-esteem and beg Qin Xingzhou to pay some child support every month for the sake of their three children.
But at this time, Qin Xingzhou had remarried and married a young, beautiful and virtuous wife, who was still busy in the store even with a big belly.
Qin Xingzhou loved his second wife very much and had long forgotten about Zhan Tiehuasheng's three children.
Not to mention that their daughter Zhang Ling had not grown up with them since she was a child and had no feelings for them. For example, their two sons both had the gene of occupying the family, and it was hard to tell when they would get sick.
If he still keeps in touch with the children, he will inevitably have to pay for his medical treatment in the future. That would be a bottomless pit, and he would end up losing both his money and his life.
This time, he had the experience of Zhan Tiehua as a lesson, but he specially investigated his second wife's family medical history and only dared to get married after confirming that she and her family were healthy.
His second wife is pregnant and he is going to be a father again. How can he spare the energy to care for other children?
When Zhan Tiehua found Qin Xingzhou, she stuttered as she told him about her predicament and begged him to help her.
Qin Xingzhou threw two hundred yuan at her with an indifferent look on his face, and kept saying that he had a new family, was under a lot of pressure, and was overwhelmed.
The two hundred yuan deeply hurt Zhan Tiehua's sensitive nerves.
In the end, she still didn't lose face to take the two hundred yuan, and never disturbed Qin Xingzhou's life again.
Qin Xingzhou may not have any feelings for her, but she really loved Qin Xingzhou.
She believed from the beginning that there was no major conflict between the two of them.
If Qin Xingzhou hadn't happened to see her mother and brother bullying her grandfather who had Alzheimer's disease, perhaps they wouldn't have ended up getting divorced.
But when she carefully thought about her family relationships, she suddenly realized that their separation was an inevitable outcome.
Originally, she wanted to bring her two nieces home to raise, and Qin Xingzhou had already acquiesced.
But she has to support her mother and her brother, not to mention the financial burden on the family. Just the thought of coming home every day to face a house full of Zhan’s family is a headache for Qin Xingzhou, not to mention Zhan Tiehua herself.
With this kind of family atmosphere, it is almost impossible to live in harmony.
After Zhan Tiehua left that time, he never went to look for Qin Xingzhou again.
After she returned home, she clearly told Old Lady Zhan and Zhan Baoku not to disturb Qin Xingzhou's life.
In order to make the two men obey, Zhan Tiehua said that Qin Xingzhou had evidence that they were involved in a human trafficking case. If they went to cause trouble, he would fight to the death, and at worst they would go to jail together.
Zhan Tiehua knows her mother best. She regards her son as her life and would never take the initiative to walk into the muzzle of a gun and put her son in danger.
But Mrs. Zhan was not a person who could keep to herself. Especially when her family was in financial difficulty, she gradually became more active.
She had already extorted money from the surrogate mother Li Yujia before, and knew that it was impossible to squeeze more money out of that poor woman.
After living a prosperous life with the windfall, Mrs. Zhan had a new target and set her sights on Xu Jinfeng.
He is a big boss. If she uses the background of his two kids to threaten her, he might just wave his hand and give her tens of thousands of dollars to shut her up.
After making this plan, she took her son and set off for the provincial capital.
As for his family, Zhan Tiehua is still clinging to his job that guarantees a stable income regardless of the weather.
The two children, Zhan Tingting and Zhang Ling, have now become Zhan Tiehua's right-hand men. They do everything very well, including washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children.
Old Lady Zhan told Zhan Baoku that she was going to the provincial capital to look for opportunities to make money, but she didn't go into details.
Zhan Tiehua told them not to do anything illegal again, to try if there was a good opportunity, and to come back quickly if there was no good opportunity.
Zhan Tiehua thought that Old Lady Zhan had finally thought it through and was willing to let her son go out and find a proper job.
But who knew that the mother and daughter had gone to the provincial capital to commit extortion.
Mrs. Zhan knew the address of Xu Jinfeng's villa. She had traveled extensively before and was not an ordinary rural old lady. After arriving at the provincial railway station, she and her son took a taxi and headed straight to the villa area.
After entering the community, the two asked around and arrived at Xu Jinfeng's house. Mrs. Zhan rang the doorbell without any hesitation.
The nanny asked the Zhan mother and son who they were looking for, and they directly said they were looking for Xu Jinfeng.
It was impossible for them to see Xu Jinfeng at the time they came. Before Qian Jinling got divorced, Xu Jinfeng would often take time to accompany Qian Jinling.
Ever since Qian Jinling left with her two children, Xu Jinfeng has become a workaholic, leaving home early and returning late every day, and his business has finally started to pick up.
Xu Jinfeng was not at home, and the nanny was ready to send the Zhan family and their son away. If they really knew Xu Jinfeng, they would not have been unaware of his cell phone number.
Xu Jinfeng made it clear that no strangers could be allowed in without his permission.
While the nanny was talking to the two of them, Zhang Yan came out of the villa pushing a baby stroller.
She saw two people standing at the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
At the beginning, Zhang Yan was deceived by Zhan Baoku's wife Wang Ling and had never met Old Lady Zhan or Zhan Baoku.
But Mrs. Zhan recognized Zhang Yan's voice immediately. This was the voice of the girl she had talked to on the phone last time, who said she was Xu Jinfeng's sister.
Old Lady Zhan replied, "You are Xu Jinfeng's sister, right? Speaking of which, we are related. We came to see your brother today because he is not at home."
Zhang Yan also recognized at this time that the old lady spoke with the accent of her hometown, and she must be a member of the Zhan family.
Compared to Li Yujia's anxiety when she saw Old Lady Zhan, Zhang Yan's calmness was accompanied by a hint of excitement.
She wanted to find a reason to make her identity public, and make things worse so that Xu Jinfeng would be in a bad situation and would have to marry her and let her be the mother of his child.
In order to achieve a happy ending with Xu Jinfeng, she showed off her talents in front of him many times, but Xu Jinfeng remained unmoved.
She stayed reluctantly, and now the one-year period agreed upon by Xu Jinfeng was about to end. She was worrying about how to stay longer, but just when she felt sleepy, someone handed her a pillow.
She did not let the two people from the Zhan family in, but pushed the stroller out and said to them: "If you have any problems, it's the same if you tell me..."
She pushed the stroller to the small garden in the community, stopped beside a pavilion, sat on a bench, and took the initiative to identify herself to the Zhan mother and son.
Old Mrs. Zhan was worried that she couldn't find this person, but she didn't expect that this woman was so bold and not afraid of getting into trouble at all.
Zhang Yan asked: "What is your purpose in coming here?"
Mrs. Zhan replied, "Since you know who we are, you should have heard about my family's affairs, right? I'm a little short of money recently, so I want to borrow some money from my acquaintances..."
Zhang Yan understood. People from such families were all scoundrels by nature, and it was not surprising that they could openly extort money.
Zhang Yan said, "I am just looking after the children at home now. I have no status and I get paid the same as a nanny. If you want to borrow money from me, forget it."
Old Lady Zhan asked tentatively, "Aren't you afraid that I will spread your story back home?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "It's just a child. It's embarrassing. Can't others know about it? If you want to talk about it, go ahead. I won't stop you!"
Mrs. Zhan didn't expect Zhang Yan's reaction to be so different from Li Yujia's. It seemed that she wanted everyone to know that she had given birth to a child without getting married.
