Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

Liu Lan, on the other hand, blushed with excitement and replied in a shrill voice:

"It did cost a lot to see a doctor, but it's mainly their fault. The remaining money in the family was all swindled away by my sister-in-law. You don't know that their family favors my sister-in-law and has spoiled her since she was a child.

My mother-in-law and her family used the last remaining money in the family to buy a dowry for my sister-in-law. You don’t know my sister-in-law. She said nice things, but she never came back after she got married…”

Zhang Xingwang felt a headache as he listened to things becoming more and more complicated. It turned out that there must be something hateful about pitiful people. He had no interest in helping them get the money back.

And Liu Lan's story must be one-sided. She must have had something to do with it, otherwise she would have kicked the old lady out with a clear conscience.

It is true that even an honest official cannot judge family affairs. If Ding Dayong were here, the three of them would probably still stick to their own opinions and make their own arguments. The old stories can probably be traced back to the Qing Dynasty...

After thinking about it for a long time, this matter still gave Li Huaide a headache. He did not respond to Liu Lan's words, but instead asked what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were planning.

Before the old lady expressed her opinion, the outspoken Liu Lan spoke first and said a lot of things. To sum it up, she was determined not to get along with her brother-in-law.

As she spoke, she became more and more angry. She used more than ten adjectives to describe the other person's appearance, and they were all very ugly. As for the money she owed, she admitted it, but it would take three to five years to pay it back.

Finally, he looked at Zhang Xingwang and said solemnly:

"If he pushes me too far, I'll just marry anyone."

The old lady listened and quickly replied:

"Now that it has come to this, I have no objection to you remarrying, but you have to keep the house and granddaughter..."

"If the house is not big enough, I can use it as collateral for my job, but I want to take the child with me!"

Zhang Xingwang listened to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking as if they had rehearsed it, and the feeling that something was wrong became even stronger. Sure enough, there was a story about buying a job involved.

No matter what they were up to, this was a solution to the problem, and everyone was happy! The child's problem was easier to deal with. After all, Liu Lan had to go to work, so she would definitely have to be taken care of by her aunt.

In the end, the discussion turned into the separation of the family property between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. After a short while, they had divided up the family assets and external accounts. It seemed that they had been thinking about this day for a long time.

I guess Ding Dayong had a lot of involvement in this, otherwise the old aunt wouldn't have asked for the house so decisively. I guess the second son agreed to provide her with support in her old age.

After all, a son is much more reliable than a widow or daughter-in-law. Any normal person would know how to choose, and Liu Lan probably knows it as well.

The final result was that Liu Lan took the family belongings and left, but she still had to bear an external debt of 20 yuan. If she worked hard, she would probably be able to pay it back in half a year.

Originally, Zhang Xingwang was cracking melon seeds and listening attentively, but suddenly, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both fell silent and turned to look at him.

Subconsciously, he put the melon seeds away, thinking that he was once again a tool. It would be better for him to not get involved in their family's mess. However, he was used to being a tool, so he asked:

"Are you two done talking? Then let's just do justice, okay?"

Unexpectedly, the two looked at each other, and the old lady burst into tears before she even opened her mouth. Seeing Zhang Xingwang indifferent and ready to take out the melon seeds, she cried and said with a little embarrassment:

"Leader, there is one more thing you need to decide for us..."

Seeing Zhang Xingwang's heartless appearance of wanting to listen to her story and play the victim, the old lady still gritted her teeth and cried:

"It's this house. The eldest is gone, and no one will say anything if we live in it. But if the second son wants to use this house to get married, can you change the name on it..."

Zhang Xingwang, who was already confused, became even more confused. The word "this way" made him stunned for a long time before he realized that it was referring to the Street Office.

After arguing for a long time, it turned out that the three of them had probably already discussed the matter privately. The only problem was that the house was rented to the eldest brother by the street office, and now his wife no longer lives there, so the house might have to be taken back, and the second brother had nothing to do with it at all.

I had already felt that something was wrong, but I didn't expect that this mountain road would be so winding. Although Zhang Xingwang approved of the two's acting skills, he probably thought this was a helpless measure.

But for a moment, veins in the corners of my eyes were throbbing, and I felt that my IQ was being pushed to the ground and rubbed wildly. It was obvious that they were bullying me because I was not smart enough...

The old lady looked at Zhang Xingwang with cold eyes and suddenly she didn't dare to cry anymore. She started to play the victim in a hesitant tone, and it was obvious that plan A had failed and they had to move on to plan B.

Liu Lan stood by with an expression of watching a big show. Needless to say, this trick was also a common skill of her mother-in-law...

The old lady was secretly watching Zhang Xingwang's reaction while performing her talent, and then she just made up her mind and told him everything.

The general meaning is that the family is in financial difficulty and there is really no other way. It is time for the second son to get married. These are all his ideas. I can only help my son and ask the leader for help. If it is not forbidden, I guess I can arrange a longevity tablet for him...

Before Zhang Xingwang could reply, the little girl in the inner room suddenly appeared. She seemed to be awakened by her grandmother's talent. She glanced at her grandmother with tears in her eyes, then trotted over to Zhang Xingwang, hugged his legs, and cried out in a sobbing voice:

"Father~"

As a result, the air suddenly became quiet, and Zhang Xingwang was even more amused and looked at the old aunt with a mocking expression. Needless to say, this should be the old aunt's Plan C. Although the actor is a little young, his acting skills are really strong, and it can be seen that he has been trained since childhood.

Liu Lan was also confused. She was waiting for her daughter to ask for a hug, but she didn't expect that her daughter reported the wrong person and married her off directly. She thought that this must be a new plot added by her mother-in-law, and immediately cast a horrified look at the old aunt.

The old lady looked at the two people's unkind eyes and failed to control her expression instantly. She quickly put away her miserable look and waved her hands repeatedly to clarify:

"This really has nothing to do with me. My granddaughter has been asking me where her daddy is lately, and I just casually answered that he has been out working for a long time and won't be back for long. She is so young, so she must have misunderstood."

Seeing the old lady cranking her hands like a windmill, Zhang Xingwang reluctantly believed it and felt that he was overthinking it. After all, she was only two years old, and he probably wouldn't be able to remember it even if you taught her.

Looking at the little yellow-haired girl in front of him, Zhang Xingwang felt a little distressed. After all, it was not wrong for the child to want a father, and all the calculations had nothing to do with her. As for her wanting her mother to remarry, it was better to stop here. After all, his mother's flowering period was a bit short...

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhang Xingwang spoke to the long-awaited mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in an official tone:

"Anyway, the matter is finally clear. I have to go back and report on your family's situation. I guess I'll have to hold a meeting to study it. You guys wait for my news later.

As for what your second son spread, we are now fully aware of it, so just tell him what happened today, so he doesn't have to rack his brains to figure it out."

After saying that, he handed the reluctant little girl to Liu Lan and turned around to go out. When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw that he was leaving, they immediately panicked, because Xiao Zhou had come twice, and this plan was tailored by the second sister according to Xiao Zhou's personality and style.

Not only has a new team leader come in now, but I've obviously messed up. God knows how things will turn out in the end.
