Chapter 1: My Girlfriend is Voldemort
In the morning, Zhang Han rode his electric bike and hummed a song as he traveled through the busy streets. His face, still looking tired, was always filled with a smile.
He is a rehabilitation therapist in a small surgical hospital, enjoying the blessing of 997 work every day. Even though he is tired and hard-working, he believes that life is worth it.
Today is very special, it is the day when Zhang Han and his fiancée Cao Lin go to register the property certificate together, how can they not be happy. For this reason, he even took a special leave and made an appointment to have breakfast with Cao Lin at the famous Manbao Tea Restaurant to celebrate, and then set off to the real estate center.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Cao Lin had not arrived yet, so Zhang Han found a table and occupied it, waiting for Cao Lin to arrive.
Five or six minutes later, he saw Cao Lin, but beside her were a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup and a young man with greasy hair and powdered face.
This surprised Zhang Han. They had agreed to go with two people to register, so why did he bring his family along as well?
The middle-aged woman is Cao Lin’s mother, his future mother-in-law Wang Qian, and the young man is his future brother-in-law Cao Fei.
Zhang Han quickly stood up to greet everyone and asked the waiter to take our order.
Cao Lin ordered beauty porridge and shrimp dumplings, Wang Qian ordered a Ruyi abalone seafood porridge and crystal fried dumplings, but Cao Fei not only ordered a sea cucumber porridge, but also ordered six side dishes, plus frozen sea cucumber and shrimp fried dumplings.
Zhang Han couldn't help but feel the pain in his heart. This breakfast would cost at least six or seven hundred yuan, which was enough for his food expenses for most of a month.
Before he could stop feeling the pain, Cao Fei pouted and complained, "This Manbao Tea is just a name without substance. Their signature dish, crab roe, foie gras and caviar combo, is sold out at only nine o'clock!"
Zhang Han was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. My goodness, one serving of that thing costs 888 yuan!
The brother-in-law works as a waiter in a KTV. He uses his job as an excuse to ask his family to buy him a lot of branded clothes. He looks very stylish every time he goes out. People who don’t know him would think he is a rich second-generation son of a wealthy family. But Cao Lin’s father was ill at the beginning of the year, and Cao Lin borrowed 30,000 yuan from him for emergency, which she has not paid back yet.
Zhang Han forced a smile, not wanting to complain, and silently ordered a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge with a fried egg.
After the food was served and the four of them took a few bites, he suddenly noticed that Wang Qian seemed to wink at her daughter.
Cao Lin immediately spoke up: "Xiao Han, when we go to register the real estate later, why don't we write our names and write my brother's name instead!"
What?
Zhang Han lost his mother at a young age. His father remarried and had another son. He was actually raised by his grandmother.
Having lacked parental love since childhood, he knew that love was hard to come by. After dating Cao Lin, he never went against his girlfriend's wishes and carefully served her family.
But this time , Zhang Han was really confused.
Although Zhang Han bought the house in full, how could he save so much money just by working so hard?
The reason they were able to buy a house was that their grandmother's family received 2 million yuan in compensation and two houses when their house was demolished. Grandma wanted to give Zhang Han 800,000 yuan, but his uncle couldn't agree to that.
Finally, under the insistence of the old lady, and the fact that the property certificate was in the name of the grandmother and that Zhang Han had the right to inherit the share left by his mother, the uncle was forced to agree to give Zhang Han 600,000 yuan, but he could forget about the two houses.
The uncle also put forward a condition that Zhang Han would be responsible for supporting grandma in the future and everyone would live their own lives.
So Zhang Han and his grandma moved into his rental house in Zhencheng.
After confirming his relationship with Cao Lin, he wanted to take out a loan to buy a house, but his girlfriend kept pestering him and even convinced the old lady that she would have to pay too much interest on a loan to buy a house and that there would be too much pressure after marriage.
Country people don't like to be in debt. In addition to the 60 yuan demolition fee, the grandmother even gave Zhang Han 220,000 yuan for the coffin. Zhang Han worked for four years and saved 200,000 yuan. He borrowed another 100,000 yuan in credit and finally bought the house in full.
He did not tell his grandmother and Cao Lin about his debt. He thought about registering the house in both of their names and then convincing his girlfriend's family to chip in some money for renovation. In a few months, they would be able to live a happy newlywed life.
For this reason, even if it is a little harder in the early stages, we can bear it.
Seeing that Zhang Han didn't answer immediately, Cao Lin immediately said coquettishly: "Why don't you say something! Can you?"
Zhang Han finally recovered from his confusion and asked with a smile, "Why do you suddenly want to write Xiaofei's name?"
"Fei Fei also wants to get married, but she said she won't marry him without a house. You happen to have a ready-made house, so you can give it to him for marriage first," Cao Lin explained.
"But don't we have to get married? And if we give the house to him, where will we live? Where will grandma live?" Zhang Han whispered.
"We can rent a house first."
Cao Lin said nonchalantly: "Anyway, I don't mind that you can't buy two houses in a short time."
"Then... Xiaofei and his wife can rent a house first..."
"His girlfriend said she won't marry him if he doesn't have a house. Don't you understand what she's saying? How many women are as stupid as me and willing to marry you even if you don't have a house?!" Cao Lin said impatiently.
At this time, Wang Qian also agreed, "That's right. It's hard to find a daughter like ours who is willing to endure hardships with you regardless of your family conditions. We have already discussed this matter before. We will register the house under my son's name, and it won't hinder you from getting the marriage certificate later!"
There was a moment of silence.
After being silent for more than ten seconds, Cao Lin finally said softly: "Xiao Han, as long as I don't mind, we can live happily together by renting a house, don't you think? Besides, you earn 8,000 yuan a month, plus my salary, in a few years, you can get a loan to buy another house..."
"But...but that's not what you said at the beginning. I didn't want to buy the house in full..." Zhang Han explained stutteringly.
"Fei Fei's boyfriend hasn't said that before. Now they are getting married, so why should we delay?! Besides, you said before that you would always listen to me. Why don't you listen now that the test has come? Do you love me or not?" Cao Lin raised her chin aggrievedly.
"I..." Zhang Han was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Cao Fei, one of the parties involved, also spoke up at this time: "Isn't it just a small house of about 80 square meters? Brother-in-law, if I wasn't in a hurry to get married, I really wouldn't like it! To tell you the truth, there are many rich second-generations chasing after my sister in the past two years. Last time, one came to my hall to play and wanted to give me a car and introduce my sister to him, but I refused! It must be that my sister likes you, you are lucky. When I get familiar with those rich brothers, I will help you buy a big house with interest in two years."
Wang Qian chimed in again, "Xiao Zhang, it's really hard for you to find a partner in Zhencheng since you have no parents and an old lady to support. It was only my Linlin who persuaded us. I also know about the rich second generation who contacted my Xiaofei a few days ago. The other party even promised to give Linlin a villa, but Linlin refused..."
Zhang Hanzhi felt a headache after listening to this. He felt embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Wang Qian continued to urge: "You are mute, can you please say something? You want to start a family, why are you so fussy and wasting my Linlin's youth!"
"this……"
