Chapter 539 - 539 Throwing His Weight Around at Home
539 Throwing His Weight Around at Home
“Can’t call the police! If we can’t call the police, how can I find my grandson! Also, even if my grandson can’t come back, we have to get the money. After all, he’s the grandson that our Zhang family raised for more than 10 years. How much did he sell for? The money from selling the children should be given to us!” Old Madam Zhang said self-righteously.
“She has already run away! The money is definitely gone!” Zhang Qian said.
“Then… how much are these two children worth?” Old Madam Zhang probed.
She would give up if these two children were not worth much money. Even without Zhang Chao, there was still Zhang Wei! Moreover, Zhang Wei was two years older and could start work earlier. He would be able to hand over his salary to them earlier.
“A total of 25,000 dollars for two children…” Zhang Qian said softly.
“What! How much! 25,000! Oh my heavens, the children are actually worth so much money!” Old Madam Zhang said in shock.
Zhang Cong was also very shocked. No wonder Zhang Qian agreed so readily when he said that he wanted 1,000 dollars as a reward. This bit of money was nothing to him.
“What’s the point of saying all this now! Chu Xin has already run away, the money is gone, my job is gone, and the children are also gone!” Zhang Qian said.
“You still have the cheek to vent your frustration on your family because of that woman! You’re the one who can’t control yourself! You even quit such a good job just like that! Who are you to throw a tantrum once you get home!” Old Madam Zhang shouted.
Sun Yan had already quietly packed her things and got ready to leave the Zhang family. She could not stay with such a family for even one more day. If Zhang Qian could sell his biological children for money, Zhang Qian might take away her child to sell once he or she was born.
She must protect her child well. In the worst case scenario, she would divorce Zhang Cong! She did not want to stay with this family for even one more minute!
“Yan Yan, where are you going?” Zhang Cong looked at Sun Yan’s luggage and asked nervously.
“I can’t stay here anymore! I want to go back to my parents’ house!” Sun Yan said.
Zhang Qian pointed at Sun Yan and shouted, “How dare you! Do you think you can leave just like that after marrying into our Zhang family! Do you still regard us as elders! You’re now pregnant with our Zhang family’s grandson! Who says you can leave! You must stay put.”
The more Zhang Qian talked like that, the more afraid Sun Yan became. They were all just eyeing her baby.
Without this child, her situation in this family would be even more miserable!
“Yan Yan, you should go back into the room. Don’t let anything affect the pregnancy and hurt your own health,” Zhang Cong said as he held Sun Yan.
“I want to go back! I want to go back to my parents’ house and look for my parents! It’s useless no matter what you say! You just want the baby I’m carrying! You don’t care about me at all!” Sun Yan shouted hysterically.
Before they got married, Zhang Cong gave in to her all the time and listened to her about everything. He definitely did not dare to disobey her parents then.
After she married into the family, he treated her coldly and sometimes did not even return home at night.
If she asked too many questions, she would be reprimanded by Zhang Cong. He would say that her figure was out of shape after she got pregnant and that she was a parasite attached to him.
Old Madam Zhang also made things difficult for her in every way. In the past, she had never suffered like this at her parents’ home.
Zhang Qian went up and gave Sun Yan a slap. Anyway, he no longer had a job. So what if Sun Yan’s parents were government officials? As if they could make things difficult for him?
Right now, he had the final say in this family. He could do whatever he wanted!
“I’m not dead yet! How dare you talk back to me!” Zhang Qian roared.
Sun Yan covered her face and looked at Zhang Cong and Zhang Qian in disbelief. She ran back into the room while crying. Zhang Cong looked at Zhang Qian with a complicated expression.
Although he despised Sun Yan’s figure, he did not want to divorce her. It would sound too outrageous if word got out.
Could it be that he would eventually end up marrying a widow like Zhang Qian? Then he would become the joke of the entire county city!
“Then what should we do now?” Old Madam Zhang asked.
“What do you mean by what we should do! Let’s just pretend that the children are dead! And that Chu Xin has never appeared! Anyway, it’s good that we no longer have the two younger children! The older ones can still earn money! When the time is right, we’ll sell Zhang Miao too!” After saying that, Zhang Qian returned to his room and slammed the door shut.
“Why is he throwing his weight around now… When he was being scammed by that whore, he didn’t even want to return home. Now, he still has the cheek to come back…” Old Madam Zhang muttered unhappily.
