Chapter 922: Taking Money From One’s Own House
When the Zhang family saw Ning Shu walked in, their faces turned slightly paler. Even Little Sis Zhang knew the severity of this situation. Without her older brother, she wouldn’t have money to buy things. There were too many good things in the city, but they cost a lot of money.
Little Sis Zhang asked Ning Shu, “Big Sis Miao, why did Big Brother get arrested?”
Ning Shu replied mildly, “He embezzled money from the company and was reported.”
“What do you mean by embezzle money from the company? You and Jiasen are married, so you’re of the same family. This company also counts as belonging to Jiasen. How can taking money from one’s own house be called embezzling?” said Zhang Jiasen’s father coldly.
“This isn’t embezzling at all. Daughter-in-law, this isn’t time for us to be squabbling. What’s more important right now is to get Jiasen out.” Compared to Zhang Jiasen’s mother who was wailing like the sky was falling and blaming Ning Shu, Zhang Jiasen’s father’s attitude was conspicuously better.
Back then when Tan Heyu was locked up, Zhang Jiasen’s father had asked her to get him out with an attitude like he was giving a command, but his current attitude was much more amiable.
It was clear that in Zhang Jiasen’s father’s opinion, Zhang Jiasen was the one most important to the family. It was also possible that Zhang Jiasen’s mother was playing bad cop and he was playing good cop.
Ning Shu didn’t care what these people were planning though. She just said, “I really don’t know what to do. Jiasen is my husband, so of course I want to get him out.”
“But this is going to cost a lot of money.” Ning Shu twisted her hands anxiously. “I don’t know how much it’ll cost. There’s no limit at all.”
“Then why don’t you spend the money? Doesn’t your family have a lot of money?” said Zhang Jiasen’s mother directly.
The other members of the Zhang family didn’t say anything when they heard what Zhang Jiasen’s mother said. It was clear that they thought the same.
Ning Shu narrowed her eyes. She had always felt that Zhang Jiasen’s mother didn’t really have any upbringing. She always said whatever she thought.
However, the use of Zhang Jiasen’s mother was that she could be used to probe other people’s bottom lines and give Zhang Jiasen’s father a sense of how far to go.
For example, right now Zhang Jiasen’s mother had directly said for the Miao family to put out money to get Zhang Jiasen out. These words were direct and hard to accept, but they were the words that Zhang Jiasen’s father wanted to say but could not say.
This family already had a fixed way of survival, and they were purposefully maintaining this status.
“Daughter-in-law, Jiasen’s still suffering in the detention center, so we should get him out first before we talk about anything else. There’s nothing more important than the person.” When Zhang Jiasen’s father saw that Ning Shu wasn’t saying anything, he sighed, then said, “Once Jiasen’s out, you guys should just live together well. If the first child must have the surname Miao, then let it have the surname Miao. In any case, it’ll still be the child of both families.”
Right now, Zhang Jiasen’s father was trying to negotiate with Ning Shu.
