Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Chapter 2256: Chapter 2257: The Cousin Is a Capitalist Heiress 75

Although Zhang Tao drank last night, he planned to get the hooligan drunk, so he actually didn’t drink much. After all, he had to bring the hooligan to the Educated Youth Courtyard, and once this bastard got drunk, he couldn’t handle him alone.

He clearly remembered getting the hooligan a bit tipsy yesterday, then adding some excitement-inducing stuff. It could be said that things were progressing quite smoothly.

Bringing the hooligan to the Educated Youth Courtyard was surprisingly trouble-free due to the late hour and Zhang Hui’s assistance inside. He then successfully led him to the backyard, but what happened after that, he couldn’t quite recall, as if he had blanked out.

Yes, it was like a blackout, but it shouldn’t be possible. Over the years, Zhang Tao’s job in the company involved a lot of hosting and greeting of leaders, which developed his drinking capacity significantly.

Plus, knowing he had important business to handle yesterday, it was even less likely for him to drink himself into a stupor. He was sure he only drank a couple of shots of baijiu, which to him was like a drizzle, so how could he have blanked out?

Zhang Hui was also in a daze, not understanding what had happened. Last night, she followed the agreed time to bring Zhang Tao and the hooligan into the Educated Youth Courtyard, then walked to the backyard, but what happened after, she really couldn’t recall.

In a daze, Zhang Hui heard Zhang Tao say he didn’t know why he was with them, which made her furious instantly, "How would I know why I’m with you?"

The hooligan was even more anxious. Despite being a troublemaker, poor family background, and bad reputation that deter even widows from marrying him, he didn’t like men.

"Zhang Hui, what do you mean by saying that? If your brother hadn’t come to find me yesterday, saying his sister liked me but didn’t know how to express it, why would I drink with him?"

At this, everyone was shocked. They looked at Zhang Tao with suspicious eyes. No way, wasn’t it said that he and Zhang Hui had the best relationship among his three sisters, caring the most about Zhang Hui?

But this big brother really wasn’t an ordinary bad brother. Normally, hearing his sister getting close and liking a hooligan, one would find various ways to interfere, but he actually came as an assistant.

Zhang Juan stood at the side, bewildered and angry, "No wonder big brother kept urging me yesterday not to stay in Xiao Hui’s room and to go live outside."

"He even told me to come early today to make breakfast, to not get too excited over anything I saw. Oh my god, oh dear." Zhang Juan was truly shocked.

"Big brother, I know you like Sister Hui the most. Whatever she says, you agree to it, but for such a big thing, how could you just go along with her wishes?"

Zhang Juan shook her head non-stop. "If Mom, Dad, uncle, and aunt know about this, they’ll definitely be furious."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hui angrily looked up at Zhang Juan, really wanting to rush over and give her a good beating. But just as she was about to stand up, she noticed the way everyone was looking at her, especially the men, who had meaningful looks in their eyes.

Looking down, she realized she was, unbelievably, not wearing her top. She screamed loudly, even louder than Zhang Juan did before, "Get out, all of you get out."

Fine, everyone already knows they’ve been messing around together, so the space was left for them to dress.

Of course, the door was closed, but it didn’t stop people outside from discussing the matter.

Once the door was closed, Zhang Hui quickly put on her clothes. As for Zhang Tao, he naturally sped up too, whereas the hooligan didn’t move at all, his eyes fixated on Zhang Hui, "Dear, take your time dressing, it’s okay."

"Don’t worry, even though your upper body was exposed to them, I’ll take responsibility, and I’ll definitely marry you."

"However, since you haven’t been discreet, there won’t be a bride price, but there must be a dowry. Now buying things requires tickets, plus the urgency of time."

Recalling the gambling debts he owed outside, the hooligan took a deep breath, "How about this, my demand isn’t high, just a thousand yuan."

Originally, he wasn’t that greedy, but who in the village doesn’t know Zhang Hui’s family treats her well, sending money every month, and every now and then a package arrives.

So while her family might not be very wealthy, they are certainly willing to spend for Zhang Hui. Since that’s the case, might as well ask for more.

The hooligan’s words certainly reached those outside, and everyone was stunned. Not giving a bride price wasn’t surprising; even though everyone was an intellectual youth, they knew the hooligan’s family had no money. If he had any, he’d squander it.

What surprised people was the hooligan’s demand for over a thousand yuan as dowry. "Is your family willing to pay?" someone asked Zhang Yu and Zhang Juan quietly.

"Anyway, us two..." Zhang Juan gestured between herself and Zhang Yu, "Forget it, the family already did us a favor by letting us use part of the bride price."

Not giving a bride price and demanding a thousand yuan in dowry is just dreaming, "As for what Zhang Hui will do, I don’t know."

When it comes to Zhang Hui, you can’t use common sense to predict.

Zhang Yu lazily commented from the side, "My family doesn’t care about me, I’ve long since broken ties with them."

"I reckon even if the family disagrees, they can only grudgingly agree, considering the situation already unfolded. Did you notice the marks on Zhang Hui?" The experienced female intellectual youth remarked, seeing the marks on Zhang Hui’s body was telling of last night.

Zhang Yu naturally knew something must have happened last night, especially when Zhang Qiang got some excitement-inducing drugs. Honestly, she didn’t know such people existed in the village.

Perhaps it’s not a secret, just that Zhang Yu wasn’t aware, but she’s certain Zhang Hui knew, or she wouldn’t have directed Zhang Tao to go there.

Zhang Juan listened to the discussions around her, occasionally glancing at Zhang Yu, constantly feeling that Zhang Yu seemed to have anticipated this, otherwise, how could she so quickly devise a solution?

Initially, Zhang Juan was quite proud, feeling she’d helped Zhang Yu a lot this time; it didn’t occur to her that Zhang Yu had been prepared, shutting Zhang Juan up who wanted to boast for some benefits.

Zhang Yu was unaware of Zhang Juan’s musings. She was enjoying herself, especially seeing Zhang Tao, Zhang Hui, and the hooligan biting each other like mad dogs.

Although she didn’t currently know how events would unfold, she was certain that these three who had caused the protagonist’s death in the past life wouldn’t have any good outcomes.

At the thought of them facing ridicule from others, Zhang Yu’s mood improved significantly, looking at Zhang Tao and the others with a smile.
