Chapter 419 Borrow some money
Xing Jiaqi came out of Xing Zhiqiang's house, she was full of anger. She had decided to take Zhan Jinhua's hair for identification. If it was confirmed that Zhan Jinhua was her biological mother, then it would be known that Xing Zhiqiang and his wife were not her biological parents.
According to Zhan Jinhua, Xing Zhiqiang and his wife should belong to the buyers. In this case, if things go wrong, she can directly sue the couple in the name of the victim. In this way, she can not only get satisfactory compensation, but also not have to fulfill her maintenance obligations in the future, killing two birds with one stone.
Xing Jiaqi thought about this and came up with an idea in her mind, and she felt better.
After Zhan Jinhua parted ways with Xing Jiaqi, she took Sun Xiaohao to the delicatessen that Qin Xingzhou remembered.
Qin Xingzhou has good craftsmanship. Since divorcing Zhan Tiehua and remarrying, his life has been much more comfortable. He and his second wife have two more children, a son and a daughter. The son is ten years old and the daughter is only three years old.
His delicatessen has a good reputation. After making more money, he moved to a bigger store, renovated it carefully, and now has two branches.
The house they divided up during their divorce had been demolished, and he used the compensation to buy a house in a new neighborhood with a larger area and better layout.
Qin Xingzhou's grandfather who suffered from Alzheimer's disease passed away the second year after his divorce. He was left without any relatives in his own family. Now he bought a small apartment in the same community for his parents-in-law to live in, and it is also convenient for the elderly couple to help take care of their children.
After more than a decade of development, Jiangyuan City is very different from what Zhan Jinhua remembered. The residential area where Qin Xingzhou and Zhan Tiehua originally lived was demolished, and Qin Xingzhou's delicatessen has also been relocated, which left her in the dark.
Fortunately, the house that Zhan Tiehua got in the divorce is still there. The housing estate in that community is also 20 years old and is now considered one of the oldest communities in the city.
But when she knocked on the door, it was a stranger who opened it. He said the house was rented. Zhan Jinhua asked him for the landlord's information, but he refused to tell her.
Zhan Jinhua did not give up and asked other residents in the community about Zhan Tiehua's situation. Only then did she learn about what her sister had experienced over the years.
It turned out that Zhan Tiehua had been overworked in raising two idle sons for many years, and died in the first year. In Zhan Jinhua's impression, her two nephews were quite smart and likable. But too many changes happened in the family in recent years, causing the two children to drop out of school early.
Zhan Tiehua felt guilty towards her two sons and doted on them, which ended up hurting herself and causing her two sons to fight over her inheritance. One was killed and the other was sentenced to death. The house, Zhan Tiehua's funeral expenses and pension all fell into Qin Xingzhou's hands.
Having let Qin Xingzhou get such a huge advantage, Zhan Jinhua would not let it go.
After some inquiries, Zhan Jinhua finally found Qin Xingzhou's delicatessen. When she and Sun Xiaohao appeared at the main store of Qin Xingzhou's delicatessen, Qin Xingzhou was so scared that his legs went weak.
He had been the son-in-law of the Zhan family for many years and understood the methods of the Zhan family. Zhan Yinhua and Zhan Tiehua had both been to college and were more concerned about their image. On the surface, they still had some qualities. But his former sister-in-law Zhan Jinhua was a real hard-core person.
In the past, Zhan Jinhua was the main force in the Zhan family's "business". She would do anything to achieve her goals and would do anything when pushed to the limit.
He now has a family to support, while Zhan Jinhua and Sun Xiaohao have nothing. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes...
Zhan Jinhua saw Qin Xingzhou and spoke first: "Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for so long. I hope you are living a good life!"
Qin Xingzhou's eyes twitched unconsciously, and he smiled awkwardly and asked her: "What are you doing...?"
Zhan Jinhua didn't think it was a shame for her to have been in prison, and responded directly: "I just finished my reform and got out. The first thing I did when I got out was to come to you. It's nothing serious, I just wanted to borrow some money to spend!"
Sun Xiaohao didn't expect Zhan Jinhua to have such a rich relative. The delicatessen had considerable profits. Qin Xingzhou's store was not small and well decorated. After entering the store for a while, several customers came to buy delicatessen.
This store alone has a considerable turnover every day, not to mention that they have three other stores.
The reason why he knew that Zhan Tiehua was dead was because he saw the news that one of Zhan Tiehua's sons stabbed another son to death. He didn't know that Zhan Tiehua's ex-husband was a craftsman. It seemed that he had made the right decision to follow Zhan Jinhua, and he could live a life of free food and drink again.
Zhan Jinhua's words made Qin Xingzhou's heart beat fast. He explained to the clerk and discussed with Zhan Jinhua: "How about we find a place to talk?"
Zhan Jinhua had no objection. Seeing that it was lunchtime, Qin Xingzhou took Zhan Jinhua and Sun Xiaohao to a restaurant and asked for a small private room.
Zhan Jinhua and her son were not polite when ordering food. They ordered whatever was expensive. They ordered ten dishes. Qin Xingzhou roughly estimated that the whole table of dishes would cost at least two thousand. He felt painful just thinking about it.
Even if he took his wife, children, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law's family of three out to eat, a meal wouldn't cost so much!
After ordering the dishes, Qin Xingzhou asked Zhan Jinhua cautiously: "My life is not that rich. How much do you want? Tell me a realistic number..."
Zhan Jinhua rolled her eyes a few times and replied, "I'm not an unreasonable person..."
She held up a short, thick finger and continued, "One million, and we're even..."
When Qin Xingzhou heard this number, the muscles on his face jumped twice: "I don't owe you anything. I just spent money to buy a safe life. It's boring if you play like this..."
Zhan Jinhua, however, did not want to negotiate. Instead, she started to bring up old scores with Qin Xingzhou: "Look, the house left by Tiehua, even if it's old and run-down, can still be sold for 400,000 or 500,000, right? And her funeral expenses, pensions, and other miscellaneous things added together, it should be 200,000 or 300,000, right?
How much credit have you received from our family over the years? Do I need to explain this in detail? If we hadn't occupied your home, would you be able to live in a big new house and open several grand stores?
Don't think that what you did is in the past, I remember it. If you don't want to give it to me, do you believe I will report you? Anyway, I have nothing and I'm not afraid of anything. Can you afford the risk?"
Qin Xingzhou really couldn't afford the gamble, but one million, that's one million, which could buy him a house of more than one hundred square meters here.
He was unwilling to give it to Zhan Jinhua like this.
Just as Qin Xingzhou was struggling with his mind and was hesitating, he heard Zhan Jinhua say again: "After divorcing Tiehua, are you living well? You have a wife and children, and how old are the two children this year?"
The two children are Qin Xingzhou's bottom line. When Zhan Jinhua mentioned the two children, she must have started to have evil thoughts.
His emotions were visibly panicking: "You, don't touch my child. I'll give you the money, but you have to sign a document to promise that you won't disturb our family's lives again in the future!"
Zhan Jinhua replied: "Why not just do it earlier? When can you give it to me?"
Qin Xingzhou replied: "I need two days to prepare. It's hard for me to get so much money at once. I have to go out and get it together... Anyway, my store is there and I can't run away. Give me a few days!"
Zhan Jinhua nodded and said, "Okay, three days. I'll come to the store to find you in three days!"
Qin Xingzhou broke out in cold sweats from the moment Zhan Jinhua mentioned the child. He agreed to Zhan Jinhua's request. He was in no mood to eat this meal. He said hello to Zhan Jinhua and her son, paid for the meal, and left early.
