Chapter 2272 Cousin is a capitalist lady 90

Zhang Tao had long noticed that his wife looked at him coldly, so he knew that he was doomed. Someone must have been spreading rumors about his experiences in Northeast China.

As soon as he followed his wife into the house, Zhang Tao knelt down without Deng Jie saying a word.

Deng Jie was startled by his action, "What's wrong with you?"

"Wife, I have done something wrong to you." Zhang Tao mentioned that Zhang Hui wanted to plot against Zhang Yu.

Deng Jie didn't expect the truth to be even more shocking than she knew. "Zhang Tao, are you crazy?"

"I won't say anything about how you protected Zhang Hui in the past. The money you spent was all from my uncle and his family. But Zhang Yu got such good grades, it's obvious that she will definitely get into university. How could you, how could you agree with Zhang Hui's idea?"

"What's wrong with your brain? Do you have your own ideas? Otherwise, why would you agree with everything she says?"

Deng Jie was really irritated by Zhang Tao's words. "Do you know that there's news about you out there? My parents have heard about it. Yesterday they called me back and asked me if I knew why you went to Northeast China."

"Now, you actually came up with such an idea."

"If you had succeeded, I wouldn't have said anything, but you two ended up going through all this trouble. Not only did you fail, but you ended up scheming Zhang Yu instead. You two really have no brains."

Deng Jie was furious when she thought about everyone pointing fingers at her. "No, I want to divorce you. I really can't afford to lose this person."

After these years of marriage, Deng Jie has many dissatisfactions with her in-laws and Zhang Tao. If time could go back, she would definitely not choose Zhang Tao.

Things have finally reached the point he least wants to happen. "Wife, I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please don't divorce me, okay?"

"As long as you don't divorce me, I can really agree to anything you ask." Zhang Tao knew that once he divorced his wife, he would be completely finished, and his family and career would collapse.

Zhang Tao really regrets it now. Why did he get so impulsive and insist on going to the Northeast? Or even if he went to the Northeast, after listening to Zhang Hui's ideas, he did not get involved, and it would not be like this.

"Promise me anything." Deng Jie snorted coldly, "Didn't you say the same thing when you were pursuing me?"

"In the end, how did you manage to do that after I got married? Yes, you treated us mother and son better than many men, but didn't you want my family to support you?"

"Did you discuss this with me before you went to the Northeast?"

"You asked for leave and bought a ticket without even discussing it. If you weren't away for a long time, I don't think you would have even informed me."

"If there weren't other educated youth from the same city there, they wouldn't have written back. I don't think you would have told me."

The more Deng Jie thought about it, the colder her heart became. "Divorce, let's divorce."

When Zhang Tao saw that his wife insisted on getting a divorce, he was really panicked. He didn't know what to do. In the end, he had no choice but to run to Zhang Fu and his wife, and Zhang Gui and his wife, and ask them what to do.

Zhang Fu and his wife were already worried about how to solve this problem. They had to pay 80 yuan every month, and then there was Zhang Hui's living expenses. The total amount was really not a small amount. Their income was relatively high, but the household expenses, plus the living expenses for Zhang Hui, were already very stressful for them.

Now, Zhang Tao’s wife has filed for divorce. What should he do?

"You can choose not to say it." Zhang Gui was really puzzled. He felt that Zhang Tao was out of his mind, otherwise why would he admit this.

"My father-in-law heard about these rumors yesterday and asked my wife to go back. I asked her if she knew why I was going to the Northeast."

"I estimate that within two days, the news will spread all over the place." Zhang Tao lowered his head. He could guess that when he got to work, his colleagues around him might share the gossip with him.

What should I do? Zhang Tao really wants to cry now. Before leaving, he clearly thought that after arriving there, he would hear the good news that Zhang Hui was admitted to university, but in the end it turned out like this. What should I do?

"You can't let your wife get divorced." The four of them discussed it and decided to keep Deng Jie stable. "If you get divorced, you'll be completely finished."

Originally, everyone might not be sure, but once the couple divorced, wouldn’t that explain everything?

"Of course I know, but I can't get a divorce just because I don't want to." Doesn't Zhang Tao know all this? Of course he knows it, but he has no idea how to solve this problem.

Xu Ling and Xue Lei exchanged a glance. After a brief discussion, the four of them quickly reached a decision. "Your second aunt and I will give you something tomorrow, and you can give it to your wife as hush money."

"Just say we worked in a wealthy family before, and it was a reward from the lady." Xu Ling's heart was bleeding. These things were all rewarded by the master when she was a servant. Even after her son got married and had grandchildren, they were reluctant to give them out.

Now, because of Zhang Hui's troubles, they actually brought it out again. Their hearts were bleeding. They just hoped that Deng Jie would not cause trouble after giving the things away.

Zhang Tao carefully put the item into his pocket and returned to the house. "Wife, this is something my mother and Second Aunt gave you. They told you not to divorce me and not to have any opinions or complaints about Xiaohui."

Deng Jie was already packing her things. Since they were getting divorced, of course she had to take the things she had with her.

She didn't expect Zhang Tao to go out for a while and come back to give her several pieces of jewelry. "This pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets must weigh almost half a pound."

Oh my God, Deng Jie knew that Zhang Fu and others used to work as servants in the family of the big capitalist Ge family, but according to what they said, they were just ordinary servants who only received a salary and did not have any good things.

Such a heavy pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets, isn't this considered a good thing? Deng Jie sneered, then looked up at a necklace on the side, "This should be jade."

Zhang Tao didn't really understand it, but he just heard his parents mention it a few times and said, "Yes, it's jadeite, from an old mine."

"It was left to her by my second aunt."

Deng Jie looked up at Zhang Tao, "Second Aunt? Doesn't she have a son?" There's no reason to give such a good thing to her daughter instead of her son.

This question really made Zhang Tao at a loss for words. "I've never met my second aunt, nor have I ever heard her mention that she has any brothers or sisters."

"You've been married to me for so many years, have you seen any relatives in our family?" His parents had no relatives, and his second uncle and his family had no relatives either. During the holidays, other people would visit relatives and friends, but his family had no relatives at all.

Deng Jie thought about it and said, "It's confirmed. I'll give it to you in a few days. I'll find a way to take it away."

Zhang Tao kept shaking his head, "No, really not."

"Okay." Looking at the thing in her hand, Deng Jie took it. After all, once divorced, her life might not be easy if she took her children back to her parents' home.
