Chapter 873: Scheme against each other
So, does that mean Yang Guangzong's efforts were all for nothing?
"Does Yang Guangzong know about this?"
"I don't know, but he said he doesn't want my house."
"Tsk, you believe that?" Chen Bingzhi laughed.
“I don’t believe it. I know he’s after the house, so I can’t help you anymore. I feel bad about lying to him, so how could I possibly sell his information for money?”
Chen Bingzhi smiled and said, "You're doing quite well."
Old Zhang felt quite embarrassed by what he said.
Actually, Lao Zhang isn't a very honest person.
If he weren't so hopeless, he wouldn't have had to live in that dilapidated house his whole life.
When Old Zhang was young, he gambled and frequented brothels, which drove his wife away.
His older siblings found him jobs, but none of them lasted long, and they all caused him a lot of trouble.
His siblings were so angry that they all cut off all ties with him.
People only become honest when they get older.
“I won’t take advantage of him entirely. I promised him that I would leave all my property to him and that he could live in the house until the end of the year. In a few days, I will take him to the neighborhood office to do notarization.”
Chen Bingzhi laughed when he heard this.
Him? What assets does he have?
As for living in the house until it collapses, does that mean living there until it's demolished?
At the current rate of development, how many more years can those houses hold up?
Anyway, Old Zhang was very happy.
"He's so good to me now. He got up early this morning to cook for me, calling me 'Dad' all the time. It really warmed my heart..."
Chen Bingzhi poured him a drink and said with a smile, "Then you have no regrets."
"Yes, if he and his wife can reconcile and have a son before I die, so I can see my grandson, I will die without regrets."
what?
Chen Bingzhi's hand holding the drink trembled.
"Did he make up with his wife?"
"Yes, his parents-in-law have accepted it. He thinks he has a chance, since they all thought that the 200,000 yuan compensation for my death would go to him."
Chen Bingzhi: "..."
That won't do; it'll spoil the dish.
“This can’t go through, and I can’t let these three form an alliance to harm my sister Xiaotong. Old Zhang, if you help me ruin this, I’ll pay for your follow-up medical treatment.”
"Huh?" Old Zhang looked at him in confusion.
Chen Bingzhi said, "To be honest, the main reason I asked you to keep an eye on Yang Guangzong and his gang was not only because I wanted to watch the show, but also because of my sister Xiaotong."
Chen Bingzhi briefly explained the events, the relationship between Yang Guangzong and Ye Xiaotong, and that the Ye couple living in his house were Ye Xiaotong's parents.
Old Zhang then understood.
"So this is ah."
"Yes, that guy surnamed Yang, and that couple, they're no good. Back then..."
He also briefly explained their entanglement with Ye Xiaotong.
Old Zhang suddenly realized and said angrily, "So that's how it is. These parents are really awful. My family has two brothers, my eldest brother and me, and three older sisters. Even in our time, my parents never favored boys over girls. They even said they would let us divide our house equally."
Chen Bingzhi smiled and poured him another drink.
"Your parents were progressive heroes, you can't compare to them."
The Zhang family and the Chen family have some ancestral connection. His third sister married an elder from a distant branch of the Chen family; otherwise, Chen Bingzhi wouldn't have approached him.
Old Zhang was born into a good family, but unfortunately he was a disappointment.
"Then who is Fang Qing and her son? It sounds like she doesn't have much to do with your friend, right?"
"It's related to another friend of mine, but not really. I'm just listening for fun."
"Oh, Yang Guangzong has a deep grudge against Fang Qing. He often says that if Fang Qing hadn't tricked him into coming here, he wouldn't be in his current state."
"Pretty much, they're two of a kind. Back then, Fang Qing didn't want my friend to have a good time, so she brought Yang Guangzong here. Now, Yang Guangzong doesn't want my friend to have a good time, so he's brought her parents here."
He paused for a moment, then added, "They're the same kind of people, so why didn't they develop anything together?"
Old Zhang was taken aback. "Develop what?"
"They're all so young, full of vigor and vitality, what kind of development do you suggest?"
Old Zhang chuckled twice. He had done many foolish things when he was young, but his health deteriorated, so he gradually gave them up and hadn't thought about them for many years.
"You know what, there really isn't one."
Chen Bingzhi stroked his chin, looking puzzled. He thought to himself, Fang Qing and Yang Guangzong are the same kind of people, so why don't they click?
If the two of them got together, they wouldn't be causing trouble for others.
At this point, Old Zhang added, "Maybe they don't like each other. Yang Guangzong is still thinking about his wife. I heard she's very beautiful and capable, not like Fang Qing."
Chen Bingzhi: "That's for sure, my sister Xiaotong is much better than Fang Qing."
"And then there's Fang Qing. I've met her ex-husband. I heard he works at some research institute. She's obsessed with remarrying him. How could she possibly be interested in Yang Guangzong?"
Chen Bingzhi suddenly realized.
Fang Qing's role model is Lu Jiangting.
Yang Guangzong's role model is Ye Xiaotong.
Having met many good people, it's no wonder they couldn't possibly hit it off.
They looked down on each other.
That won't do. These two are well-matched in terms of social standing and are the same kind of people. He has to make sure they become a couple.
Chen Bingzhi came up with a terrible idea and wanted Lao Zhang to do it.
“Let them pool their money to live together, and I’ll pay for your medical treatment. I know your illness requires targeted therapy, which is very expensive, but I’m willing to pay for it.”
He couldn't resist the temptation of spending money to treat his illness.
Although the doctor said it was incurable, he could live a few more years if there were targeted therapies available.
"They don't like each other, what should I do?"
"Old Zhang, here's how it is..." Chen Bingzhi said with a sinister smile, explaining his plan.
After listening, Old Zhang gave him a thumbs up.
When the food was served, Chen Bingzhi urged Lao Zhang to eat quickly and kept putting food on his plate.
He then took out several hundred-yuan bills from his wallet and gave them to him.
"Take this, and have the restaurant pack up these dishes for you."
"Row."
Chen Bingzhi stood up, picked up his bag, and said, "I have to go to work, so I'll be leaving now."
"Hey."
Seeing that Lao Zhang was about to get up, Chen Bingzhi raised his hand again and said, "Don't get up, take your time eating, there's no rush, I've already paid."
Old Zhang sat back down.
As Chen Bingzhi reached the door, he suddenly stopped and asked, "What did the doctor say? Is it really incurable?"
Old Zhang sighed, "It's incurable, but the doctor said that if I can keep taking the medicine, I can live for another two years. But those medicines are really expensive, not something someone like me can afford, so I never thought about taking medicine before."
"It's okay, I'll pay for it. Just take whatever medicine the doctor prescribes."
"to make."
Old Zhang is old and in poor health, so he eats rather slowly.
After he finished eating, there was still a lot of food left, so he had someone pack it up and take it back to him.
