Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Chapter 2260: Chapter 2261: My Cousin Is a Capitalist Heiress 79

"Zhang Hui, do you have anything else to say?" Qian Hao looked at Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui now wore a look of utter hopelessness, "I, I have nothing to say."

"You’ve ruined my reputation, I will go to the village chief, I will go to the Youth Corps Office, I want them to stand up for me."

The thug knew the situation was in his favor now, naturally, he kept crying and wailing, repeatedly seeking out the relevant departments to back him up.

Zhang Yu burst into laughter, Zhang Hui and Zhang Tao were indeed finished now; they would definitely let the thug tear a large chunk out of them, but this was all consequences of their own actions. They would have to face the results themselves.

Qian Hao looked at Zhang Tao and Zhang Hui, "What do you two have to say?"

"We’ll discuss it privately." Zhang Tao took a deep breath, glanced at the thug who was rolling around and shouting for someone to help him, and for this scene, he was all too familiar, knowing that the other party just wanted money.

Qian Hao looked at Zhang Hui, "Your opinion?"

Zhang Hui’s face was ashen, "I, I..."

"I also don’t know what to do." Zhang Hui swallowed, habitually waiting for others to make decisions, she just awaited the final result.

Qian Hao smiled, "Looks like the three of them don’t have a unified opinion."

Zhang Tao looked at the still-crying thug, then at Zhang Hui who was lost in thought, "Then let’s inform the village, inform the Youth Corps Office."

Exhausted, clearly his suggestion was the best, to handle it privately, but since they insisted on making a fuss, let them be, he didn’t care anymore.

Anyway, when things backfire on Zhang Hui, does he know the thug? Does he know where the thug’s house is? The snacks were also something Zhang Hui got Zhang Juan to make, even the wine was something Zhang Hui got Zhang Juan to buy.

In the end, if things really blew up, Zhang Tao was indifferent, at most his reputation would be gone, does reputation matter to a man?

It’s not that it doesn’t matter, but compared to freedom, reputation doesn’t matter at all.

Ah, the thug was dumbfounded, all this crying and making a scene was just to get some benefits, he wanted to marry Zhang Hui, so that continued benefits could flow in. But he knew the possibility of agreement was low, so he aimed for more money. Who doesn’t know the Zhang Family is wealthy and would be happy and able to pay this money.

Who would’ve thought that Zhang Tao would actually suggest notifying the captain and Youth Corps Office, this was a major situation.

Zhang Hui was even more shocked, informing the village and Youth Corps Office, would she still be able to have good days? Especially with Granny Ge’s background, who doesn’t know.

Taking a deep breath, "We’ll resolve this privately, we’ll handle it ourselves."

Qian Hao knew Zhang Hui would definitely agree, originally agreeing beforehand would have avoided all this trouble, now nothing’s left, neither pride nor benefit.

Qian Hao looked at Zhang Tao and the thug, and the latter, after thinking for a moment, agreed they would handle it themselves.

Seeing they all agreed, Qian Hao said, "Alright, then you guys discuss it among yourselves."

"Okay, okay, let’s end this here." Qian Hao had them return to the house to discuss, telling everyone to disperse.

Returning to the house to discuss, fine, he could still hear bits and pieces.

At that moment, Zhang Yu heard a knock on the door and immediately knew it should be Zhao Yadong.

As soon as she opened the door, there they were, besides Zhao Yadong and Qian Hao, Xiao Lei and several others were also present.

Of course, who wouldn’t want to know the follow-up to such explosive news?

Once inside, everyone immediately stood by the wall, and Zhang Yu invited them onto the kang, "Get warm."

Then she took out some food, knowing she would be heading to the Capital City after New Year. Although she had a space, traveling with Qian Hao and the others, bringing too few things would be suspicious like Doraemon’s magic bag; even a fool would notice something was amiss.

Let alone that Qian Hao and the others were not thugs at all but more meticulous, so for safety’s sake, things had to slowly be dealt with now.

First and foremost were food and drink; Zhang Yu had made plenty of jerky and stuff, now was the perfect time to bring them out.

Xiao Lei didn’t expect Zhang Yu would bring out the jerky, as a neighbor, Xiao Lei knew well enough that Zhang Yu and her family lived comfortably, but he didn’t expect it would be this good.

"Watching the drama needs some food."

"Don’t be shy." Zhang Yu motioned for everyone to help themselves, "Listen to what’s being said next door."

Zhang Yu stood by the wall with a piece of jerky in hand, eagerly listening, her eyes barely concealing her excitement.

Zhao Yadong handed out jerky to everyone, "Don’t be shy."

After exchanging glances, seeing Zhang Yu and others already at the wall listening, they figured they might as well listen to what’s being said next door too.

Next door was quite lively, the thug living up to his reputation, boldly made demands, "Since I am already with Zhang Hui, it’s only fair I marry her."

"Although I know what happened between you Zhang Tao and Zhang Hui yesterday, I’ll let it go. As such, I won’t demand a bride price, but the dowry should be more, after all, I’ve suffered a loss marrying such a floozy." The thug was too clever at getting what he wanted.

The thug thought for a moment, "Let’s set it at a thousand, and after marriage, a monthly allowance of fifty for our living expenses."

Zhang Hui was already unwilling to marry such a thug, and hearing him calling her a floozy over and over again was beyond her tolerance.

Zhang Tao knew the thug wasn’t a good person, but didn’t expect him to make such a bold demand, "Impossible..."

"I absolutely won’t marry you." Zhang Hui blurted out, "Look at yourself, what do you think you are?"

The thug knew Zhang Hui wouldn’t marry him, he wasn’t foolish. After all, they had already slept together, hearing her protest, he slapped her multiple times, "What do I think I am, at least better than a floozy who wouldn’t spare even a thug like me, and you even bought that drug."

"Spread the word, do you think your reputation would still be good?" The thug snorted, "You can rest assured; I originally thought I should take responsibility, otherwise I wouldn’t be willing to marry you."

"I’m worried someday you’d be rolling with another man while I’d be out."

"If you don’t want to marry me, fine, give me three thousand, then this matter will be over." With that money, the thug didn’t believe he couldn’t find a wife.

Everyone was stunned by the thug’s demand, "Three thousand, huh."

Zhang Tao was dumbfounded, Zhang Hui was also dumbfounded, "Why don’t you just go and rob someone." Words coming out indecently.

"Right, you did take advantage of me, now you want compensation, isn’t it only normal?" The thug initially set the price at three thousand, waiting for the Zhang Family to haggle.

Hearing Zhang Hui’s indecent words, he couldn’t hold back, "I’m informing you, give me three thousand, otherwise, it’s a no."

"If we can’t agree, we’ll take it to the village chief or the Youth Corps Office. I refuse to believe we’ll get into trouble for taking advantage of the intellectual youth. Shouldn’t the intellectual youth take responsibility if they take advantage of us?" The thug got up to leave.

"Remember my patience is limited, I might change my mind by the afternoon." The thug snorted and left humming a song.

Though no resolution had yet been heard, he knew they would surely agree; more than him, they feared bringing it to the village chief and the Youth Corps Office.
