Restarting 16 Years Old, the Champion is Tiger and Tea

Chapter 382 Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger

Qian Qiang and Wang Mingliang quickly raised their wine glasses and laughed. Zhang Lan put away the smile on his face and started eating slowly.

The phone rang. It was Zhang Lan's best friend, Huang Chen, a flight attendant for the airline.

Zhang Lan picked it up.

"Hey, Lanlan, my colleague just flew back and brought two small bags from the CO. They're only 5000 RMB. Do you want some?"

"Which one? Is it the bucket bag I told you about last time or the classic messenger bag?"

"Postman, small size, and the brown color you wanted."

"Okay, then leave one for me, and I'll transfer 5000 to you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lan looked up and found that the other three people were all looking at her, with different expressions in their eyes.

"Why did you stop? Come and eat your food. This restaurant may not be a fancy one, but the food is still very good."

After saying that, Zhang Lan lowered his head and sent a text message to Huang Chen on his mobile phone.

[The timing is perfect. I'll treat you to coffee on the weekend. 】

Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Lan's cell phone and bag, as well as the exquisite watch on her wrist, and couldn't help but feel sad.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of bag did you buy? It costs 5000 yuan."

Zhang Lan said casually: "Oh, it's a brand from the United States, not a big brand, and the price is suitable for daily work use."

"What? A work bag like this costs 5000? Sister-in-law, you are really living a low life. Many people can't save up 5000 even if they don't eat or drink for two months."

Xiaoyu's voice was extremely sharp, and Zhang Lan looked at her with surprise.

He glanced at Wang Mingliang and Qian Qiang again, and the silence and disgust in his eyes made them feel a prick in their hearts.

"Oh, everyone has different jobs, different incomes, and naturally different consumption. Xiaoyu, you will understand once you stay in a big city. People's levels vary greatly."

"5000 yuan is something that many people cannot save in a year, but for others it is just a small part of a month's salary and they can spend it easily."

Wang Mingliang frowned again:

"Zhang Lan, you are so extravagant, how come you don't think about Qian Qiang's family's financial difficulties? His parents in his hometown can't even afford to buy him a new piece of clothing worth a dozen yuan."

Zhang Lan looked up at Wang Mingliang with extremely calm eyes.

"so what?"

Wang Mingliang frowned even tighter:

"You and Qian Qiang are one. As his wife, you should understand how difficult it is for Qian Qiang and join him in showing more respect to his parents-in-law."

Zhang Lan heaved a long sigh of relief:

"Oh, I thought you were going to say something. I do a good job of respecting my parents-in-law. Every time Qian Qiang goes back to his hometown, I buy him a lot of gifts and bring them back."

"Qian Qiang gives his parents living expenses every month. No matter how much he gives, I always support him. Qian Qiang, I am right, right?"

Qian Qiang pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly: "Yeah, yes."

Wang Mingliang felt somewhat powerless as he looked at Zhang Lan, whose expression was frank and sincere.

This kind of person really doesn't know what he wants to say?

"Zhang Lan, since you support Qian Qiang so much, you shouldn't let your parents-in-law live in such poverty. Look, you spend 5000 yuan on a bag, which is more than their annual living expenses."

Zhang Lan looked at Wang Mingliang with a confused look in his eyes: "So? Just tell me what you want to say. I don't understand your lawyers' beating around the bush."

Xiaoyu became anxious.

"My brother said that your parents-in-law are so poor, you should give them more money. You can't spend money so lavishly. People like you will be called a spendthrift in our village."

Zhang Lan poured himself a glass of juice, sipped it, and looked at Xiaoyu with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, then Xiaoyu, what you and your brother think is that if I marry Qian Qiang, I must give all my money to his family and lower my living standards?"

She picked up the bag from the chair and showed it to Xiaoyu.

"Look, this bag is a birthday gift from my mom. It costs more than 4,000 yuan. This is my normal life."

"I married Qian Qiang to make my life happier. If my life becomes miserable after marrying him, then I must be a fool to get married."

Qian Qiang's face looked obviously ugly, but he didn't say a word.

Wang Mingliang's expression softened and he began to make amends:

"Hey, Zhang Lan, you don't have to be so excited. Actually, I just want to say that husband and wife are one, and we should understand each other."

"Qian Qiang's family is poor, yours is good, and you earn a lot, so you should help them more. There's no need for you and your spouse to be so clear about the differences."

"Look, my girlfriend and I have an agreement that after we get married, we will put our money together, save what's left after deducting our expenses every month, and contribute to the family together. This is the way for a good couple to act."

Zhang Lan sneered inwardly.

Finally the bottom has been revealed, and this is the theme of today.

I also hope it will be this kind of model, where husband and wife support each other and work together for the family.

But while you are calculating my money and house, you are also brainwashing me to make me willingly act like a fool.

Tsk tsk, they really think they are invincible and the smartest.

Zhang Lan turned the platinum ring on her ring finger and looked at Qian Qiang with a smile on her face.

"Yes, I also think that couples should work together. I'm sure there will be no problem with that and I won't add any burden to Qian Qiang. Qian Qiang, just do your own thing. I will never hold you back."

Wang Mingliang was so angry that he fell backwards.

This is a hollow statement without any response.

The Wang siblings fell silent, and for a moment the only sounds on the table were the clattering of chopsticks, bowls, and spoons.

Zhang Lan didn't intend to let them go, and continued:

"Alas, actually, the reason I said this is because I recently failed in an investment. Qian Qiang, I invested in a project with Huang Chen a while ago and lost money."

Qian Qiang slammed his chopsticks on the table, his eyes bloodshot: "What, how much did you lose?"

Zhang Lan was startled by him and looked at him with some horror:

"Qian Qiang, what are you doing? This is my own money. I haven't done anything yet, but you are so anxious."

Wang Mingliang said in a deep voice: "That is your joint property, half of which belongs to Qian Qiang. It is reasonable for him to be anxious."

Zhang Lan laughed:

"I don't want to pay it back either. But it doesn't matter. Money is strong. We can save it slowly later. You don't have to feel so hurt now. My current savings are not as good as yours."

Xiaoyu's face turned pale: "Then why did you buy a 5000 bag?"

Zhang Lan blinked her innocent eyes:

"I just got paid, so I'm going to reward myself and get rid of the bad luck. Don't worry, the rest of my salary is enough for me to spend, so I don't need to borrow money from your brother Qiang."

After Zhang Lan finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and began to eat seriously.

Well, now that they know that I have nothing, Qian Qiang doesn't need to set his sights on the couple's joint property.

She looked at Wang Mingliang, whose face was gloomy, and knew that he had figured out her intentions.

She doesn't care.

The purpose of inviting you to dinner today is to scare you.

People have already shit on your head, so it's time to start cutting the meat with a knife. There's no need to hide and pretend to be a quail.

Besides, although Qian Qiang was a public official and would not be too reckless, she could not risk her own safety to gamble with human nature.

The biggest goal today is to completely eliminate the possibility that Qian Qiang will take the risk of endangering himself.
