550 You Have to Give Me Money

Zhang Qian immediately remembered how Zhang Wei held Zhang Miao and wailed behind them. He originally thought that it was just a superficial wound and did not take it to heart. He had given Zhang Wei and Li Gui even more severe beatings previously and nothing had happened to them over the years. How could Zhang Miao be so seriously injured?

“You’re lying to me, right? I only kicked her once, how can it be so serious? You just want to cheat me of my money,” Zhang Qian said with a guilty conscience.

“You’ll know whether it’s fake or not when you go to the hospital with me. Otherwise, you can bring Zhang Miao to the big city for treatment. I won’t stop you,” Qiao Mei said.

“I don’t have any money! That woman cheated me of all my money! I don’t even have a job now! I… I have no money, you can take my life if you want!” Zhang Qian said.

Qiao Mei summed up the amounts on the receipts. The total was 374 dollars. They would still need to incur nutrition fees and costs for various follow-up checks later. These would all require money.

Back then, Zhang Qian had said that he would divorce Li Gui if they gave him 500 dollars. Now, they could just offset the medical fees and nutrition fees from this amount of money he wanted.

“Isn’t all your money with Old Madam Zhang? It’s alright if she wants to pay for you.” Qiao Mei turned to look at Old Madam Zhang.

Old Madam Zhang quickly curled up in the corner and muttered to herself, “I don’t have money… I don’t have money… Don’t look at me… I don’t have a single cent on me…”

“It’s fine if you don’t pay me. I have an agreement here. As long as you sign it, you don’t have to pay me,” Qiao Mei said as she placed the agreement in front of Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian reached out to take the agreement. The word “divorce” was like a knife stabbing into his eyes.

For so many years, only he could bring up the topic of divorce to Li Gui. He would never allow Li Gui to go against him.

“Well done! You’re really your mother’s good daughter! You’re forcing your mother to divorce me! Aren’t you afraid that others will point fingers at you and scold you if word gets out! I won’t agree to a divorce! You can just give up!” Zhang Qian said as he threw the divorce agreement on the floor.

“If you don’t want a divorce, then give me the money. You’ll be able to come out when you’ve paid me back in full. I estimate that Zhang Miao’s treatment will cost about 600 dollars in total. It’s hard to say if there will be any aftereffects from the injuries. If she becomes semi-paralyzed or worsens into a vegetative state, the medical costs will be even higher,” Qiao Mei said casually.

An estimate of 600 dollars was on the low side. Given Zhang Miao’s current situation, if she did not wake up soon, it was very likely that she might not wake up for the rest of her life.

She was already kind enough not to ask Zhang Qian to pay with his life!

She wished that she could cut Zhang Qian into pieces and ripped his ribs out while he was alive, and cooked it to provide nourishment for Zhang Miao!

Zhang Qian did not feel like agreeing to the divorce. He did not have a job now and Chu Xin had even run away. He has lost everything now. If Li Gui also left him now, then he was really left with nothing.

With Li Gui around, he could still survive by going to her house every month to ask for some money. However, if he did not agree to the divorce, he would have to spend the rest of his life in jail.

Zhang Cong also looked at Zhang Qian nervously. He hoped that Zhang Qian would reject Qiao Mei’s request.

“You! Let me think about it!” Zhang Qian said.

“I can’t give you too much time. If you’ve decided, then sign it quickly. Otherwise, you can stay here forever,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

Even if Zhang Qian agreed to the divorce, the criminal act of selling Zhang Chao and Zhang Qin was enough to send him to jail for the rest of his life. Whether he signed the agreement or not, the outcome would be the same for him.

Zhang Qian had already made a decision. These children were still his. Even if he agreed to the divorce, they would still have to support him when he was old. Otherwise, he would sue them for being unfilial!

Qiao Mei had already guessed what Zhang Qian was thinking and added, “Let me add that after you sign the divorce papers, you won’t have anything to do with my mother and the four children anymore. You can’t come and look for them and ask them for anything in the future.”

“You’re too much! It’s my blood flowing inside them!” Zhang Qian roared.

“Are you signing it or not?” Qiao Mei asked.

Zhang Qian pointed at Qiao Mei and said, “If you want me to sign it, you have to compensate me! I want 400 dollars! You have to give me money!”

He had not even given them the money for Zhang Miao’s treatment and now he still had the cheek to ask for 400 dollars. What a joke!

She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen such a shameless person!
