Chapter 446 Give me face? You don't deserve it!

However, Mrs. Yuan looked at He Zhi with even more fondness.

In terms of seniority, she is the boy's grandmother, and she doesn't think that the boy's sarcastic words include her.

"Oh, this child is so smart. Come, grandma has a big duck leg for you to eat."

Mrs. Yuan arranged the positions very cleverly. On her left was her little granddaughter, and one seat further to her was He Zhi.

She originally wanted to let her granddaughter and He Zhi get acquainted, but her granddaughter was overbearing. As soon as she picked up a duck leg to give to He Zhi, her granddaughter saw it and burst into tears.

"I want it, too."

Grandma's must be good stuff, my mother said.

He Zhi covered his ears because of the noise, and quickly picked up the remaining duck leg for his mother to eat. His stinky father couldn't support his mother, so as the man of the family, he must take good care of his mother.

Chen Tang felt warm in his heart and whispered, “Eat by yourself, and then we’ll go play.”

He Zhi was happy: "Okay."

"Jiaojiao, don't fight with your brother. This is given to you by grandma." Mrs. Yuan pretended to scold and was about to pass the duck leg to He Zhi.

Yuan Jiaojiao cried even louder, and in anger she tried to hit He Zhi, but He Zhi quickly dodged and quickly hid on the other side of Chen Tang with his bowl in his arms to eat.

Madam Yuan was really angry this time. How could this child be so ignorant? Who was she doing this for? It was for her!

If she had been a little more well-behaved and called He Zhi sweetly like she calls her brother at home, would the two children not be able to play together?

As long as they can get along well, how can General He deny this marriage when it is brought to light?

He Zheng promised them back then.

Mrs. Yuan and Deputy Director Yuan had completely forgotten that He Zheng's marriage was only a casual agreement made when he was drunk, and the marriage was with his eldest son He Qi.

Yuan Jiaojiao got angry and slapped the bowl and chopsticks while crying. The bowls immediately shattered to the ground, making a crisp and deafening sound.

Mrs. Yuan was extremely angry, and her daughter-in-law next to her hurriedly picked up Yuan Jiaojiao and coaxed her.

The lady sitting opposite them sneered, "Madam Yuan, are you so poor that you have to sell your granddaughter? But you are really domineering. Even my boy doesn't like you to play coquettishly. Why do you have to send your granddaughter to curry favor with Chief He's great-grandson?"

"But it's true. Old Chief He was not very good at choosing a grandson's wife. Maybe your child can really marry one."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Madam Yuan was furious, thinking that Chen Tang would at least make some retorts after being provoked like this, but she turned her head and continued to giggle.

She was so angry that she cursed in her heart, she had never seen such good food in her life.

He Zhi raised his head and retorted: "Grandma, your mouth stinks. Can you be quiet for a while? I still want to eat."

Madam’s face froze, and she heard Chen Tang wipe his mouth and said lightly: “Ignore them, they are just grasshoppers in autumn.”

Those who didn't speak at the table were from the Yuan family faction, and those who spoke were from the Chen Nong faction.

It won't be long before they all go to jail, and she's too tired to say a word more.

The ladies who were talking felt a panic in their hearts. Before they could start to yell, they heard a lady at the table behind them raising her glass and walking towards them.

The young woman was full of excitement when she saw Chen Tang: "Chen Tang?"

Chen Tang turned around: "Who are you?"

"We have been in the same military region, but I am on the other floor. You probably don't know me, but I know you. You must be the author Zhou Tang. My husband and I left the army in a hurry, so we didn't have a good conversation. I didn't expect to meet you here."

The woman was indeed a retired civilian from the Haishi Military Region who returned to her hometown.

Her husband holds a low position, and she would not dare to stand up if she had not been fed up with these women mocking others in a condescending manner.

But she and her husband were smart. They knew why Deputy Director Yuan was going to hold a banquet for a three-year-old child, so they knew that an important person must be coming.

Deputy Director Yuan is usually as timid as a quail, but now he suddenly holds a grand banquet and is so high-profile. It can only be that he has the means to deal with the Chairman of the Revolutionary Committee or Chen Nong.

The banquet was like an early celebration.

She thought about it for a while and decided to join the team.

Needless to say, He Xu's identity is also the granddaughter of Chief Shen.

Having offended two leaders at once, she felt that these people were doomed.

When Chen Tang heard that she was from the Haishi Military Region, he smiled and said, "It's fate."

Seeing her good attitude, the woman became even more excited: "I left early, and I don't know how your aunt Director Zhou is doing. I heard that you wrote a lot of books, were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, and acted in movies. I thought we would never meet again in this life, but I didn't expect that Lincheng is your hometown."

She said this on purpose just to slap other people in the face.

She had also seen the movies starring Chen Tang. Later, her good sister in the military district shared the news with her, saying that Chen Tang, who was from their military district, was admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, which made her extremely envious.

Aren't these ladies mocking? She will let them see how outstanding the person in front of them is!

Sure enough, many ladies looked unhappy.

Just now they all mocked Chen Tang for being an actor, but now they heard that she was a writer and had been admitted to the best university in the country, and their faces changed immediately.

Nowadays, college students are considered top students, and if anyone in the family gets admitted to college, they have to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Moreover, these are college students who had won through two massive college entrance examinations in 1977 and 1978. They are extremely valuable.

Chen Tang was admitted to a top university which was the most difficult to enter and had the fewest admitted students.

Those who laughed at her for not knowing what means she had used to marry into the He family just felt embarrassed.

I thought the old man was blind, but I didn't expect him to be so accurate in his observations.

Chen Tang knew that this person was trying to save her face, so she accepted the kindness: "My aunt is in good health. If you have time, come to the capital and I will take you out to play."

The woman got her affirmation and sat down contentedly.

The people at the table who were noisy just now were now extremely quiet. It was impossible to ask them to apologize, but they could do it alone.

On the other side, Chen Nong wanted to toast He Xu, but He Xu didn't drink, so he refused.

Chen Nong used the county's affairs to apologize to He Xu, but his smile was quite unsatisfactory.

"Master He, my nephew is a bit arrogant and domineering. It's also because his parents dote on him too much. Although he deserves to be imprisoned, I still have to apologize to you."

He Xu was not grateful: "If my last name wasn't He, Secretary Chen probably wouldn't even ask me. Secretary Chen, have you fulfilled your duty as an official for the people?"

Chen Nong's face turned cold. "What a great saying that an official serves the people. With the development of Lincheng to this day, I, Chen Nong, may not be called an honest official by the people, but I have done what I can. I might as well give in to the title of a good official!"

Seeing that he did not repent, He Xu put down the teacup in his hand heavily: "Since Secretary Chen said so, I have nothing to say. People with different ideals cannot work together. You have your way of being a good official, and I have my way of serving the people. It's better not to drink this wine."

"Master He, are you so disrespectful?"

"Face?" He Xu smiled and said, "Not many people want me to give them face, and you don't count."

After saying that, He Xu stood up and left.

Deputy Director Yuan was unable to smooth things over and could only watch He Xu come to find Chen Tang, and the two got in the car and left.

Chen Nong's face was gloomy and he held the wine glass tightly.

He had seen arrogant people, but he had never seen anyone as arrogant as him.

But he didn't dare to kill He Xu, for fear that the higher-ups would find out something wrong.

However, Chen Nong did not intend to give up. If he could not take his life, he could at least get something on him!
