Perhaps Zhuang Xiaoting really felt wronged, because tears streamed down her face.

Huang Ling saw Zhuang Xiaoting's tears, and her heart ached. She patted Zhuang Xiaoting's shoulder and said, "Xiaoting, what happened to you? Can you tell your mother?"

Zhuang Xiaoting wiped her eyes and said, "I'm not upset, it's just that he seems different from before!"

Zhuang Tunan said, "Xiaoting, did you know that Dongzhe also knew about that videotape?"

“He doesn’t know that he found it in Xiang Pengfei’s car. I’m afraid that if he finds out, he will go astray!”

"Then just tell Uncle Lin to keep an eye on him. I believe Uncle Lin is more open-minded than most people and will definitely discipline him!"

“I know his dad is an open-minded person. He can only talk about him, not me. But you have to understand that you become like those you associate with. I’m afraid that if he gets involved with Ada, he’ll be implicated in the future!”

"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to him about it when I'm alone with him, so don't worry!"

Just as Zhuang Tunan finished speaking, they heard the crackling of firecrackers outside, clearly indicating that Wu Shanshan's kindergarten had officially opened.

Just then, Zhuang Chaoying pushed open the door and came in.

As soon as Huang Ling saw Zhuang Chaoying, she asked, "Why are you back at this hour? Have you eaten yet?"

“I let Dad finish his meal before he left. Also, the hospital fees were 500 yuan. Here’s 4,500 yuan for you!”

Zhuang Chaoying took out a handkerchief from her bosom, inside which was a neatly wrapped wad of money.

Huang Ling said, "You keep it! I'm afraid I won't be able to hide the money, it's better if you put it here!"

Just as Zhuang Chaoying was about to ask about Zhuang Tunan's injuries, he caught a glimpse of Zhuang Xiaoting out of the corner of his eye. It looked like she had been crying, as there were still tear stains on her cheeks.

So he asked Zhuang Xiaoting, "Xiaoting, what's wrong? Are you crying?"

Zhuang Xiaoting quickly composed herself and said, "Dad, I didn't cry. A flying insect got into my eye, and I rubbed it!"

"Oh, thank goodness you didn't cry, thank goodness you didn't cry!"

As Zhuang Chaoying spoke, she turned to Zhuang Tunan and asked, "How's your injury? Is it getting better?"

Zhuang Tunan smiled and nodded, saying, "Much better, Dad. How's Grandpa? Is he alright?"

"Him? He's more energetic than you now. When he runs, no kid can stop him."

"Oh, really? Then I'm relieved!"

"Yes! He's better, but Zhennan has disappeared."

Huang Ling quickly said, "Alright! Don't worry, Zhennan is with Lin Wufeng!"

Zhuang Chaoying immediately perked up and asked, "How did you know?"

"Lin Wufeng called here, saying that Zhennan was penniless and had gone to him to look for work. Lin Wufeng probably arranged for him to work with Ada!"

"It doesn't matter who he's with, as long as he has a job and can survive properly, that's enough!"

"Yes, it's good that you're alive, but do you know why Xiaoting was crying?"

"Why are you crying? Didn't she say that a small flying insect got in?"

"Does she mean it's just flying insects?"

"Then why did she do it?"

"She's afraid Lin Dongzhe will be corrupted by Ada!"

Zhuang Chaoying asked, completely bewildered, "Ada is Lin Dongzhe's cousin. They're relatives, we can't just not keep in touch!"

“Ada is involved in smuggling now. If Lin Dongzhe gets involved, that would be terrible. He’ll be arrested sooner or later!”

Zhuang Chaoying then realized and said, "Oh, I see! I need to talk to Lin Dongzhe when I have time. I can't let him go down the path of crime, because that would be bad for Xiaoting and the child!"

"Yes! Although Lin Dongzhe seems very smart, sometimes being too smart is not a good thing, as it can easily lead to bad ideas."

"Um!"

Zhuang Chaoying fell into deep thought.

Huang Ling, probably worried that Zhuang Chaoying might overthink things, changed the subject, saying, "Did you see that pavilion at the entrance of the alley?"

Zhuang Chaoying immediately seemed to have been dragged out, saying, "I saw it. What's wrong? Are we going to put up a martial law in our alley? They even put up a security booth, like it's a real thing."

"No! That's the security booth of Pengfei Transportation Company!"

"Pengfei Company's? What does he want with it?"

Huang Ling smiled and said, "It's for Tu Nan to use as a newsstand. He wants Tu Nan to sell books and newspapers at the entrance, which can both serve everyone and allow Tu Nan to earn money!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Chaoying became excited and exclaimed, "This is great! This is great!"

"Mom, Xiaoting, go take a look! Brother Pengfei has hired workers to modify the pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Huang Ling immediately said, "His dad! Go take a look! Give them some advice; the newsstand is ours too!"

Zhuang Chaoying said, "No rush, no rush, you and Xiaoting go and take a look! Tu Nan and I will talk to Dong Zhe for a few minutes!"

Huang Ling tensed up immediately, fearing the conversation would turn into a denunciation session, and said, "We can talk, but you can't say anything unpleasant, or Dongzhe won't be able to handle it!"

"What are you saying? I'm a teacher, and Tu Nan is a graduate student. How could I say such rude things?"

Huang Ling smiled and said to Xiao Ting, "Xiao Ting, let's go out and relax. Staying indoors all the time isn't good; we need to breathe some fresh air!"

So Huang Ling pulled Xiao Ting outside. As soon as she opened the door, she saw that silly boy Dong Zhe still standing in the yard. Huang Ling said, "Dong Zhe, go talk to your dad and Brother Tu Nan!"

Lin Dongzhe craned his neck to look into the house and asked, "Is Dad back?"

Huang Ling said, "You're back!"

Zhuang Chaoying also stood at the door and said, "Dongzhe, come on, let's have a chat!"

Lin Dongzhe was a smart man, and he was good at reading people. When he saw that things were not right, he felt uneasy. He knew that Zhuang Xiaoting must have complained about him. It would be bad if he didn't go, so he could only bite the bullet and watch Huang Ling and Zhuang Xiaoting leave before he went into the house.

Lin Dongzhe is so good at handling people! As soon as he entered the house, he said, "Dad, you're back?"

"Yes, you're back!"

"Where's my grandfather? How's his recovery going?"

"That's good, you've gone back to your second uncle's place!"

"That's good. As long as Grandpa is feeling better, that's all that matters. Xiaoting and I will bring some things to visit him in a few days. It's not easy for the old man to worry about his children."

"Yes, yes, let's not talk about the old man today, let's talk about you!"

Lin Dongzhe panicked and said, "Me...?"

As soon as he uttered the word "I," beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he still continued, "I'm fine! I can eat and sleep well, and I don't need to be hospitalized. It's great!"

Zhuang Tunan spoke first, "Dongzhe, are you going to call Ada?"

"Ada? My cousin? We haven't even fought yet! Didn't we say we'd get Tu Nan to contact someone about martial arts novels?"

Zhuang Chaoying asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why would you need to contact martial arts novels?"

Lin Dongzhe hurriedly explained, "Dad, most of the martial arts novels on the market now come from the south. My brother is going to open a newsstand, right? I was thinking of having my cousin Ada get some, and then have Pengfei transport them over. That way we can save on shipping costs and make money, right?"

Upon hearing Lin Dongzhe's words, Zhuang Chaoying was very excited and quickly praised him, "Dongzhe, you are so smart! I don't think our Tu Nan and Xiao Ting combined are as smart as you!"

Zhuang Tunan found these words a bit harsh, so he pretended to be uncomfortable and coughed.

But Zhuang Chaoying pretended not to hear and said, "Oh, right, Dongzhe, I heard that videotapes are popular in the South, like the latest Hong Kong martial arts movies, right!"

Lin Dongzhe seemed interested and said, "Yes, Dad, you don't know, Hong Kong martial arts films and Japanese horror films are very fashionable now. Almost every city has a small cinema. We can turn our small dining table into a small cinema, and it will definitely be packed with audiences!"
