Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Chapter 2261: Chapter 2262: My Cousin Is a Capitalist Lady 80

Everyone was stunned that the thug actually opened his mouth and asked straight for three thousand yuan, they were really all dumbfounded. "How does he dare ask for so much like a lion?"

"Do you think they’ll pay this money?"

Everyone looked over at Zhang Yu. After all, she was from the Zhang Family; even if she’d fallen out with them, she should still know a thing or two.

Zhang Yu nodded. "Most likely they’ll pay."

Everyone was shocked. "But that’s three thousand yuan."

"Yeah." Zhang Yu nodded. "Because she’s Zhang Hui."

Would Zhang Gui and the others be willing to part with that money? Of course they wouldn’t. But this money was money they couldn’t not pay. If Zhang Hui’s parents came back looking for her, that would be a huge mess.

And now the college entrance exam had been reinstated. Zhang Hui hadn’t done well this time, but just from Zhang Tao’s attitude you could tell they still had a lot of confidence in her; they believed she would definitely get good scores.

She’d become a college student, get assigned a good job, and Zhang Hui was pretty and knew how to sweet-talk people, she’d definitely find an excellent son-in-law. Then the whole family could get lifted up again, couldn’t they? So even if they were reluctant to part with that money, they’d still be happy to pay.

Ahhhh, no one expected the Zhang Family would be willing to pay such a sum, and that this was the reason. "Zhang Yu, is your family well-off?"

"It’s okay. I don’t know much about the details, but I do know that as long as it’s for Zhang Hui, the family will always satisfy her."

Just as the group was discussing whether the Zhang Family would be willing to pay this money, the two people next door, who’d been quiet for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

"Big brother, what do we do?" Zhang Hui looked pitifully at Zhang Tao, cursing him in her heart. This idiot actually couldn’t handle this.

Now he was asking how to deal with it—how would he know what to do? "Pay compensation, or you marry him."

"Or we blow it up and let the village and the Youth Corps Office deal with it." Zhang Tao was really regretting it now. Why, after he found out about Zhang Hui taking the college entrance exam, had he gotten hot-headed, asked for leave, and run off to this godforsaken place?

Since he got here, there hadn’t been a single piece of good news. Zhang Hui hadn’t gotten into college—forget college, she hadn’t even gotten into a junior college or a technical secondary school.

Not getting in is not getting in; there are plenty of people who don’t get into college, one more like her doesn’t make a difference.

What he hadn’t expected was that, just because of Zhang Hui’s selfishness, things would end up like this.

Ahhhh, Zhang Hui had thought that when Zhang Tao heard this question, he would definitely tell her, just like before, not to be afraid, that he’d talk to the family and have them pay. But instead he actually turned around and asked her.

"I’m not marrying. I absolutely won’t marry." Just because she’d rolled around with him, did that mean she had to get married?

"Then what do you want to do?" Zhang Tao felt utterly drained. He really didn’t understand how something that was fine ended up like this.

And he was still asking her what she wanted to do—Zhang Hui was furious. Such a simple question, and he still had to ask her. "How about this, brother, you talk to the family about it."

"Um, um..." Zhang Hui put on a very embarrassed, very guilty expression. "Brother, could you maybe tell the family that it’s all your fault, that’s why we need to pay three thousand yuan?"

She absolutely couldn’t let the family know that the three thousand yuan had to be paid because of her. Otherwise when she went back, there’d be hell to pay.

Zhang Tao knew for sure the family would be asked to mail three thousand yuan, but he hadn’t expected Zhang Hui to actually try to dump this responsibility on him.

"It’s not even my business, why would I admit it’s my business?" He could already guess that once he admitted to it, Zhang Li and the others would definitely make him pay out of his own pocket.

He was good to Zhang Hui because he hoped to squeeze money out of her, not to blow a huge sum of money on her.

"How is it not your share? If you’d been careful, how would it have ended up like this?" Zhang Hui had made up her mind; she was going to make Zhang Tao take this on.

As soon as Zhang Tao heard that, he exploded. "How is it my share? If it wasn’t for you saying you wanted to go to college, that you wanted to take Zhang Yu’s admission notice, even hiring thugs to ruin Zhang Yu’s purity—that was your idea."

"And you were worried Zhang Yu might resist, so you went and bought C drug." Zhang Tao got angry just thinking about it. "You really are an idiot. You went out to buy something and didn’t even know enough to be careful."

"Everyone saw you go out, they even saw you go to someone’s house, and you still said no one would see, that nothing would happen. And then what?"

"If you hadn’t been fixated on Zhang Yu’s admission notice, how would this have happened?"

Everyone listened to Zhang Tao’s words and turned to stare at Zhang Yu in disbelief. No way, right? They knew Zhang Yu and Zhang Hui didn’t get along, but they hadn’t expected that just for an admission notice, Zhang Hui would scheme against Zhang Yu like this.

Zhang Yu also looked completely shocked. "How could this be? How could this be?"

Zhang Hui knew it had been her idea and had no way to deny it. "Do you think maybe Zhang Yu found out and did this to us?"

"How would Zhang Yu know? Are you saying I sold you out?" Zhang Tao looked at Zhang Hui, displeased. "Zhang Hui, with that brat Zhang Yu, I only talked more when I first got here; after that I barely said two words to her."

"The last time I went to see her, it was because I hoped you two could stay at her place. She didn’t agree. Is that when you started scheming against me?"

"And I remember very clearly, I was helping the thug into the courtyard house, I was helping him walk toward the back yard, you said you were going to close the gate, and then I felt someone bash my head. After that, I don’t remember anything."

"At that time it was only the three of us. The thug was already half-drunk and dazed. Besides him, there was you and me. It had to be you who hit me."

"Zhang Hui, was it you scheming against me?" Zhang Tao stared at Zhang Hui in panic. "It had to be you. You weren’t just planning to ruin Zhang Yu, you wanted to ruin me too."

"Right, that’s definitely it. You just didn’t expect your plan to backfire on yourself in the end." Zhang Tao glared viciously at Zhang Hui. "Say it, was it you?"

"You realized you couldn’t drag the two of us into Zhang Yu’s room, were afraid Zhao Yadong and the others would hear something, so you figured you’d shove me onto the heated kang, then call Zhang Yu over, so she wouldn’t be able to get away."

"But you didn’t expect that in the end, it’d be you in her place." Just thinking that he’d been schemed against by Zhang Hui made Zhang Tao’s anger shoot straight up.

He grabbed Zhang Hui by the throat. "I should have known you were an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. When you were little, it was Zhang Yu who took care of you. So she could take better care of you, Zhang Yu even waited to go to school with you."

"Every time Zhang Yu went hungry or got scolded, it was because of you. Now you want to pull the same trick again and drag me down too?"

"Let me tell you, that’s impossible."

"You want money, then remember this: you can talk to your parents yourself. I’m not opening my mouth."

"And don’t even think about writing in your letter that this brother bullied you. I’ll definitely write a letter home about everything that happened here, and let our parents know the truth."
