Chapter 907: Why Didn’t You Pay the Utility Bills?
“Where did you run off to? The electricity and water went out, but we couldn’t find you the entire day. Were you trying to starve us to death?” Zhang Jiasen’s mother’s voice seemed conspicuously high in this darkness.
“If it weren’t for the fact that Lil’ Sis knew how to order takeout, your dad and I would’ve already starved to death.”
When Zhang Jiasen heard what his mother said, a feeling of helplessness surged up in his heart. He used his phone as a flashlight to head into the kitchen to find candles. After lighting them, he saw that the entire family was sitting on the sofa.
“Jiasen, I saw that everyone else still had electricity. Why is our house the only one that doesn’t?” Zhang Jiasen’s mother was very angry. “How can they not give us electricity?”
“Big Bro, when will the electricity come back? I was in the middle of playing games when the electricity suddenly went out,” said Lil’ Sis Zhang’s twin older brother.
“Jiasen, about your brother-in-law’s matter...” Zhang Wenlan looked towards Zhang Jiasen with a forlorn expression.
Zhang Jiasen had drunk quite a lot, so the sound of all these chattering voices caused him to feel very irritated.
He picked up his phone and directly called Ning Shu. The first sentence out of his mouth was, “Miaomiao, why didn’t you pay the utility bills?”
Ning Shu who had just picked up the phone: ...
It wasn’t like she was the one living in the house, why would she pay the utility bills? And how in the world could he say this without feeling any shame?
In such a righteous manner too. Ning Shu smiled slightly. Even getting angry felt like she was wasting energy.
“I’m busy with the company’s matter and I’m not living at home, how could I possibly remember something as trivial as the utility bills? It’s late so I’m hanging up, I need to sleep. You can just pay the bills.” Ning Shu yawned, then hung up.
When Zhang Jiasen heard the disconnected tone, it felt like lava was bubbling up in his chest and on the brink of erupting out.
He was so angry that his chest visibly rose and fell with his breathing. Due to the alcohol, his brain felt heavy and dizzy. He lifted his phone and angrily threw it to the ground as he shouted between gritted teeth, “Miao Miaomiao!”
The dark growl and the sinister expression on his face was made even more scary by the illumination of the candles.
Everyone in the room was startled by Zhang Jiasen. Zhang Jiasen’s dad stood up and looked at Zhang Jiasen as he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Why did you smash the phone? You think phones don’t cost money?” grumbled Zhang Jiasen’s mother as she looked towards the broken phone on the ground with heartache.
“Go back to your room to sleep, what are you hanging around here and grumbling for?” snarled Zhang Jiasen’s father towards Zhang Jiasen’s mother.
Zhang Jiasen’s mother looked very unwilling, but she didn’t dare to go against Zhang Jiasen’s father who was the head of this family, so she turned and headed back into her room.
The only ones left in the living room now was the father and son. Zhang Jiasen’s father asked, “What happened?”
After venting some anger, Zhang Jiasen’s emotions had also settled somewhat. “It’s nothing. I can handle it.”
Zhang Jiasen’s father nodded, his eyes filled with trust in Zhang Jiasen. This son was the Zhang family’s pride. Zhang Jiasen had a strong sense of what he wanted ever since he was little and had always been able to deal with his own problems.
No issues ever arose from him. His intelligence was clear from a young age. He had always managed to make the people that bullied him suffer in silence.
That was why Zhang Jiasen’s father had put in so much effort in raising Zhang Jiasen. As of now, Zhang Jiasen had already become the most amazing person in the village.
Due to Zhang Jiasen, Zhang Jiasen’s father was very respected in the village. A lot of people would even personally visit to ask him for help.
Zhang Jiasen’s father belonged to the category of people who, since they couldn’t fly themselves, they focused all their energy in laying eggs and making their next generation fly. This was the scheming method of people from the countryside.
