Chapter 426 He knew that he was redundant at home!
Diao Sishun quickly thought of a way to break the impasse. After some thought, he decided to tell Zhang Dan that Luo Dafen asked for 5000 yuan before agreeing to a divorce.
After hearing this, Zhang Dan said, "It's very hard for Ms. Luo to raise the child alone. You should give her more child support. Her request is not excessive. You should give her the money as soon as possible."
Diao Sishun: "...but I don't have that much money."
Zhang Dan: "Go ask your parents for it! Didn't you say they love you the most? Now that you are in trouble, they should help you."
Zhang Dan's parents are officials. Diao Sishun was worried that if he told Zhang Dan the truth about his family situation, Zhang Dan would look down on him. Zhang's parents also disliked his poor family and opposed them being together, so he beautified his life experience.
Diao Sishun told Zhang Dan that his family was a working-class family. His parents both had pensions, and his brothers and sisters had a good relationship. The family was united and friendly, helping each other, and the family atmosphere was very harmonious.
Zhang Dan was very envious when she heard this and said that after they got married, she would find an opportunity to visit the Diao family's relatives. She liked people who were loyal and righteous...
Diao Sishun didn't expect that what he said would backfire on him. He hesitated and said, "5000 yuan is not a small amount. My parents' pension is for their retirement. It's inappropriate for me to ask them for it, and it would seem unfilial."
Zhang Dan: "You can ask them to raise as much as you can. I still have a few hundred yuan, and I will give it to Teacher Luo later.
If it is not enough, we will say a few nice words to Teacher Luo and ask her to show mercy and ask for less. We will give her the rest of the money when we are better off in the future.
Nothing is more important than us getting our marriage certificate, so don't worry about these little things!"
Diao Sishun was left speechless by Zhang Dan's naivety.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I married Luo Dafen because she forced me to do so. The child she gave birth to doesn't have my last name. Why should I pay her money?
If we keep the money we compensate her, we can have a good life and enjoy a good life when our child is born."
Zhang Dan said hesitantly: "But what if you don't pay the money and Mr. Luo doesn't agree to divorce?"
Diao Sishun: "That's easy. Your parents are cadres. Just say hello to the Civil Affairs Department and the leaders of the commune. Even if Luo Dafen doesn't show up, we can get the divorce certificate."
Zhang Dan: "This seems too bullying and inappropriate. Besides, my parents work in other places and cannot interfere with the administrative affairs here. When I was arranged a primary school teacher for me, I asked my cousin who works in the Education Bureau to help me.
Even if my parents can help, it is not appropriate for them to interfere in this matter. Our case is not glorious and should not be made a big deal. If Teacher Luo feels uncomfortable and reports us, my parents will be in trouble.
If the problem can be solved with money, don't alarm my parents. I have never dared to tell them that you were married. If they knew that you were not divorced and we were together, they would definitely not agree with us.
My father is very concerned about his reputation. If our affair gets out among relatives, let alone helping us find jobs back in the city, given his personality, he will definitely cut off all ties with us!"
Diao Sishun pondered for a moment and said, "Then don't bother your parents. I will write a letter to my family and try to raise money."
Zhang Dan: “Yeah.”
In the letter that Diao Sishun sent home, he said that he and Luo Dafen had divorced, and then he met the daughter of a cadre, who wanted a dowry of 5000 yuan to buy furniture, new clothes for all seasons, three turns and one bell, as well as various expenses such as the wedding banquet.
Diao Sishun also said that once he had established himself in the Zhang family, he would bring his parents and brothers over to enjoy a better life, and arrange jobs for those who were unemployed. If there was a chance, he would even get them jobs in government departments.
He hopes that his family will support him for his future prosperity and wealth...
After receiving the letter, the Diao family had a heated discussion.
Diao Sishun's two elder brothers wanted to give money to support Diao Sishun so that they could become a cadre in the future by relying on the power of the Zhang family.
The two sisters-in-law were a little hesitant, worried that Diao Sishun was lying and trying to cheat them of their money, so they suggested that the Zhang family first confirm the cadre status of their men before paying the money.
Diao's father and mother held a neutral attitude. They did not want to use their pension funds and hoped that Diao Sishun would write an IOU to the Zhang family, and the Zhang family would advance the betrothal gift, which would then be repaid when Diao Sishun became successful in the future.
All the opinions of the Diao family were replied to Diao Sishun via letters...
After reading the letter, Diao Sishun was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
He knew that he was redundant at home!
The more his family members were unwilling to pay, the more Diao Sishun wanted to squeeze some money out of them in order to avenge the unfair treatment he had received over the years.
Diao Sishun wrote another letter back home, saying that the Zhang family did not agree with their actions and also laughed at their family for being like a rat drilling into an oil pot, with only access in but no exit.
Diao Sishun said that if his family did not support him, they would have no contact with him in the future. When he became a cadre, he would enjoy the life alone and no one in his family would be able to benefit from it.
The Diao family did not want to miss the opportunity to rise to prominence, so they decided to take a gamble. The whole family collected 3000 yuan and sent it to Diao Sishun, telling him to bring Zhang Dan home during the Chinese New Year and remember to bring more gifts to relatives to show off their prestige as relatives of cadres...
After receiving the remittance slip, Diao Sishun sneered several times. It turned out that his family's claim of having no money was all lies. They just didn't want to spend it on him.
He was indeed an unloved child.
Now that the money is in his hands, no one can take it away!
Diao Sishun decided to give Luo Dafen only 200 yuan and keep the remaining 2800 yuan for himself.
He asked Luo Xiaofen to contact Luo Dafen, saying that the money issue had been settled and asked Luo Dafen to come back for a divorce.
Because the Diao family lived in another province, it took Diao Sishun nearly a month to communicate with them through letters. Zhang Dan's pregnancy symptoms became more and more obvious, and almost everyone in the Wanjia Village production team knew that she was pregnant.
Those well-informed aunts and grandmothers in Zhoujiawan naturally also knew about it.
Zhou's mother learned about this while chatting with someone. When Luo Xiaofen came back from school, she stopped her and whispered, "Xiaofen, grandma just heard that Teacher Zhang is pregnant. Do you think you should tell your sister about this? Otherwise, she will be kept in the dark and be plotted against by Diao."
Luo Xiaofen: "Thank you, grandma. I will write a letter to my sister later."
Zhou's mother: "I advise your sister to be more open-minded. A man like Diao Sishun is not worth being sad about."
Luo Xiaofen: "My sister won't be sad for him. Diao Sishun said he has raised the money and asked my sister to come back and get a divorce."
Zhou's mother: "There is a postman coming into the village today. Go and check with the team leader to see if the Diao family has sent money and how much money they have sent. Don't just listen to Diao Sishun's one-sided story."
Luo Xiaofen: "Thank you grandma for your advice. I will go find the team leader now!"
