Chapter 76
Tang Qingqing's newly developed fondness for Tang Fengzhi was shattered by these words.
She worked so hard to go to school, just to marry a good man? It's really unfair to think about it.
Whatever a man can do, she can do too. Why doesn't she do it herself instead of relying on others?
If you have this ability, why not do something else? You must be so stupid.
Tang Qingqing doesn't think it's a good thing to live with your hands held high.
However, Tang Fengzhi could not sense Tang Qingqing's disgust at such words, and encouraged Tang Qingqing:
"Study hard and get your junior high school diploma, and I'll find you a good family."
Tang Qingqing couldn't help but said, "Aunt, I didn't go to school to marry into a good family."
Tang Fengzhi's brilliant smile paused, "The most important thing for a woman is to marry into a good family. If you don't go to school to marry into a good family, then why bother?"
"I'm becoming stronger myself. Others don't have what I have."
Tang Fengzhi chuckled: "You are really a child, you really don't know anything. It is better to marry well than to work well. It is useless for a woman to be capable. No matter how capable she is, she is not as good as a man. It is better to find a capable man and live a happy life. This is more important than anything else."
Zhao Dahua rarely agreed with her elder sister-in-law, "That's right, this girl has become wild as she studies. She even thinks she is a boy and is just about to pass the imperial examination and go home with top score."
Tang Xingqiang was the first to disagree, "My sister is the top student! She has always been the top student in the whole grade! No man can beat her."
Tang Fengzhi disagreed: "That's because the boys didn't put in enough effort. Girls learn well at the beginning, but they don't have the stamina to do so, so they quickly reach the limit. Boys don't become sensible until later, but they can catch up if they put in more effort later. Look at the big leaders, how many of them are boys?"
"That's someone else. My sister has always been amazing. She won't be out of energy!"
"Yes, my sister is the best!" Tang Xingsheng also supported.
"Look, the siblings have a really good relationship and they know how to speak up for their sister."
Tang Fengzhi laughed, obviously not taking it seriously.
"We have eaten more rice than you have eaten salt, but I have never seen a girl better than a boy. Girls are only suitable for doing things inside the house, and men are needed to support them outside the house."
Tang Xingqiang curled his lips and said, "That's because you were poor before, so you had no food to eat."
Tang Fengzhi's face darkened, and she looked at Zhao Dahua with displeasure:
"Sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you stay at home all day and don't take good care of your children. Look at what Xingqiang has become. He always talks back to the adults."
Zhao Dahua was already unhappy, and now after hearing this, she became even angry.
"This child is brought up by his sister. I can't take care of him."
"There is no mother who can't take care of her children. It all depends on whether you take care of them. If you don't take care of your children when they are young, you will be the one who suffers when they become useless in the future."
Zhao Dahua was very unhappy and just wanted to push back when he heard Tang Fengzhi say:
"I know a person who is very smart. He is a millionaire even before he starts to make money!"
Zhao Dahua took a deep breath and attracted the attention of others, especially Tang Xingqiang, whose eyes were shining.
Ten thousand yuan households! Ordinary workers in the city only earn about thirty yuan a month, and workers have to go without food and drink for more than 20 years to earn that much, not to mention poor old farmers like them.
Old Mrs. Wu swallowed hard: "Oh my god, what is this? How come he is so rich?"
"Don't worry about what he does for now. Anyway, he is suffering because of his son's failure to live up to expectations. It's because he was not taught well when he was young and was spoiled by his grandparents. Even if he has a fortune of 10,000 yuan, he still spent it all in one year!"
Old Mrs. Wu felt dizzy. Her property worth tens of thousands was gone in just one year. This, this is really scary!
"So, don't ignore your child. If you don't care about him today, someone else will naturally take care of him in the future, and then the whole family will suffer."
Tang Qingqing agreed with this statement, but it was obvious that today's conversation was directed at them, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Zhao Dahua also felt uncomfortable. Who likes someone to tell you what to do?
Old Mrs. Wu has grown older these years and rarely talks to her like this. But the elder sister-in-law, who only comes home once every few years, is very nosy.
However, Zhao Dahua suppressed her unhappiness and expressed her doubts: "Sister, how did you make a fortune in these years? And how come you know such a generous person?"
Although the 10,000-yuan household is no longer a 10,000-yuan household, it was wealthy once, which shows that he was a capable person.
In the past, Tang Fengzhi would not have known these people, and she would not have had the spare money to buy candy for the children in the village.
When she first heard that Tang Fengzhi had returned, she was still thinking about how to lure her away, thinking that she was here to extort money again.
Unexpectedly, after just a few years, Tang Fengzhi has changed a lot. Not only is she wearing a brand new big jacket that looks expensive, but she is also very generous in her spending.
I bought a lot of things, in large and small bags.
Zhao Dahua just took a sneak peek and found a large piece of meat in one of the baskets. It was expensive pork belly! It looked like it weighed five or six kilograms!
In addition to meat, there were also white noodles, canned food, candy, sausage and other good things. She didn't know what was in the other two bags, but she guessed they were not cheap.
If Zhao Dahua hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe.
Tang Fengzhi's smile deepened. Her face had become rounder and she had gained a lot of weight. It was obvious that she was living a good life.
With such a smile, you look particularly stylish.
"I've been lucky these years. I've made some money with everyone."
The village where Tang Fengzhi married was also very lucky. About ten miles away from them, they actually discovered coal mines underground.
In fact, there had been some movement a long time ago, but it had not been fully excavated at the beginning, and the people who benefited were all from the nearby villages. Although Tang Fengzhi's village was not far away, it did not benefit from it at the beginning.
Later, with the development, more and more mines were built, and the surrounding areas were gradually affected.
Tang Fengzhi has two sons. Probably because they were extremely poor in the past, they are very aggressive and hardworking.
Now they are all working in the mines and making a lot of money.
Zhao Dahua was extremely jealous, what kind of luck was this!
In the past, even birds were reluctant to go to the mountain gullies, but now coal mines can be dug out! Isn't this a huge fortune?
Although working underground is hard and dangerous, the workers earn a lot of money.
Just look at the style Tang Fengzhi showed when she returned this time, and you'll know how much money she made!
"Both nephews are workers in the mine?"
Tang Fengzhi was very disdainful: "How much money can you make as a worker?"
Zhao Dahua stared: "Does that mean he became a leader?"
"Neither. They have their own way of making money."
Tang Fengzhi is very tight-lipped and does not reveal how they make money.
But what we know is that they all rely on coal mines for development.
This made Zhao Dahua jealous, and Old Lady Wu felt even more proud.
Old Lady Wu: "My dear daughter, are you still short of people? Can you arrange one for our Xingwang? Xingwang is not young anymore, and it is almost time for him to get married."
Tang Fengzhi did not agree immediately. "I haven't seen Xingwang for many years. I wonder how he is now? He is not at home during the Chinese New Year. Where did he go?"
Zhao Dahua said quickly, "He went out to play with someone. I have already sent someone to call him back."
Tang Fengzhi shook her head, "It's Chinese New Year, and you're still so young, you just want to run away. It's really... Mom, I'm not saying that my sister-in-law doesn't know how to discipline children, but why don't you discipline us? You used to be so strict with us, you would never let a child run away during Chinese New Year."
Old Mrs. Wu: "He is already a grown-up boy. How can he stay at home all day like a little girl or child? A man needs to go out and make friends to have a bright future."
"That's true. That's how your two grandsons got in touch with people. The jobs they got got bigger and bigger, and they made more and more money."
Zhao Dahua: "How much can you earn in a month? Thirty yuan?"
Tang Fengzhi sneered: "Thirty yuan is not even enough to pay for cigarettes and alcohol."
Old Lady Wu and Zhao Dahua both gasped when they heard this. They had just noticed that Tang Fengzhi had changed a lot over the years, and now when they heard her talk, they felt that she was even more unusual.
Zhao Dahua hurriedly urged Tang Xingqiang to go and find Tang Jianjun, as Tang Jianjun could not be absent at this time.
Tang Xingqiang wanted to continue listening, but Tang Fengzhi saw that he didn't move, frowned, and looked like she wasn't going to tell him anything unless he went. Only then did he move.
Tang Qingqing also wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Tang Fengzhi.
"Qingqing, just stay here. You are a girl, why are you joining in the fun with boys? Women can't stand the cold. Don't go out often in winter."
Tang Fengzhi looked at Tang Qingqing with eyes full of love.
"I have met so many children, but I get along best with Qingqing. Qingqing, come back with me this time, and let see that I have such an outstanding niece."
Tang Qingqing wanted to break free, but Tang Fengzhi's hands were like iron hoops and she couldn't move at all.
"Auntie, I have to go to the commune public security bureau in two days."
Tang Fengzhi was stunned: "What are you going to the Public Security Bureau for?"
Zhao Dahua suddenly became excited. "This girl has learned some skills, and she is often invited by the Public Security Bureau to help solve cases. I have always told girls that they should not do those things that are men's work, but she just won't listen. But she has skills that others don't have, so I can only follow her."
"What ability do you have to deserve to be hired by the Public Security Bureau?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Dahua has something to talk about.
Normally, she didn't like to see Tang Qingqing being proud, but ever since Tang Fengzhi came home, she had been acting so arrogantly that even Old Lady Wu was overwhelmed.
Zhao Dahua was very dissatisfied with being taught a lesson all the time.
The elder sister-in-law, Tang Fengzhi, used to be a busy body.
Even though her life is not going well, every time she goes back to her parents' home she likes to point out that she is not doing this well or that is wrong.
She could have suppressed it before, but it was different now. As soon as she saw Tang Fengzhi bringing back so many things, she felt overwhelmed.
I didn't listen to Tang Fengzhi just now, even the old lady could say a few words.
Obviously, with money comes courage.
Although Zhao Dahua also wanted to get a piece of the pie, she was always being pressured and nagged, and she also had a temper.
So, Zhao Dahua mentioned Tang Qingqing's case to Tang Fengzhi, exaggerating it to the point of exaggeration. Tang Qingqing, the person involved, felt that it was just a story and had nothing to do with her.
Tang Fengzhi was very surprised: "I didn't expect this girl to have this skill."
"That's right. That's why he doesn't obey discipline anymore. He thinks he's capable and doesn't even listen to his parents."
Tang Fengzhi suddenly frowned and scolded Tang Qingqing:
"You have read so many books in vain! You don't even know the most basic filial piety. If that's the case, you might as well stop studying! Otherwise, you will become worse and worse. You should quickly marry a man and focus on your life. Once you have children, you will know how difficult it is to be a parent and how to be filial.
How about this, I won’t go to school next semester, I will just stay at home and learn how to be a good wife, marrying into a good family is the most important thing.”
Zhao Dahua just laughed and didn't bother with those little thoughts.
"Yes, that's what I said. Why do girls need to study so much? Getting married and having children is the right thing to do. If you want something, you can marry a good man and you'll have it all. What's the point of learning all that? Knowing a few words and knowing how to count when buying groceries is enough."
"That's right. Men don't like illiterate people, but they don't like people who are too smart either. And what about this? Mom, sister-in-law, I don't know what to say to you. Why do you let a girl get involved in this kind of thing that men do? Don't ruin your reputation later!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm going to take Qingqing back with me this time. I'll find a good family for her and marry her off right away!"
When Old Lady Wu heard this, she quickly said, "No, you can't just take her out to marry. Our daughters will never have trouble finding a husband."
Tang Qingqing also said: "I won't get married! I just want to study!"
Zhao Dahua also disagreed. What would it mean if he just took it away? Once the matter was settled, he could use it to demand more from her. So he refused to give her anything.
Tang Fengzhi raised her index finger and said, "The betrothal gift from the family I'm looking for won't be less than five hundred."
"five hundred?!"
When Tang Jianjun heard this as soon as he entered the room, he was stunned.
How can he be so generous that he can offer a betrothal gift of 500 yuan for a wife? Maybe his brain is stuck in the door, right?
One must have a very rich family to spend so much money.
In the countryside, this number is unimaginable.
Five hundred yuan is enough to buy three rounds and have some left over. Not many people in the city can afford all of it at once.
Zhao Dahua also took a breath, "Is there really 500? Is it money or things? I won't have to give her a dowry, right?"
Mrs. Wu had originally been refusing, but now she stopped refusing out loud.
"It's a minimum of 500 yuan. If the couple likes her, maybe it can be more. I know a family before that was particularly satisfied with the daughter-in-law. Not only did they match her with the three turns and one ring, they also gave her an additional 500 yuan as a betrothal gift."
Everyone in the room was in disbelief, and Tang Xingqiang's eyes widened.
"Why are the people outside so arrogant?"
Tang Jianjun couldn't believe it. Could the gap between people be so big? Even his brother, the factory director, wouldn't be so lenient when marrying his daughter-in-law.
"Sister, you didn't just hear that from someone, did you?"
"How could that be possible? How could my matchmaking be fake? Those things passed through my hands, and I personally saw the gift money being handed over to the girl's parents."
Tang Fengzhi has always liked to act as a matchmaker for others, but when she came back before, no one paid attention to her when she wanted to act as a matchmaker.
After all, the people in her husband's village are so poor that they don't even have pants to wear when going out. Who would be willing to marry a daughter there? Isn't this a trap for the daughter?
When Tang Fengzhi got married, it was only because the family could afford the high bride price, otherwise there would have been no hope.
Old Lady Wu: "Fengzhi, when you told mom about this, was it really such a good marriage? Who is the other party's family?"
"Mom, why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can come with me and see for yourself. Our village is different from before. Now anyone who has connections with the mines can make a lot of money."
Tang Jianjun heard some things Tang Xingqiang said on the way, and he immediately became interested after hearing this.
"Sister, tell me, how much money can you make in a month from mining?"
"That depends on what you do."
"Just tell me the lowest price?"
"The lowest is the workers, who make less than a hundred yuan a month, fifty? Eighty? Anyway, not much. I haven't asked carefully."
Everyone present took a deep breath. Fifty or eighty per month is not a lot? Is this really not bragging?
"What am I bragging about? Things are different now, especially in the past two years. There are more opportunities to make money than before."
Tang Fengzhi rolled her eyes and said, "If you don't believe me, forget it. She's not my daughter anyway. It has nothing to do with me if she's delayed."
Zhao Dahua said quickly: "Sister, it's not that we don't believe you, it's not that we are superficial. We think that so much money a month is already a lot. It's a very high salary in the whole country. In the end, you don't take it seriously. We really don't understand."
"You guys, the outside world is in turmoil, but you still live on this little piece of land. No wonder you are left behind! I was so poor back then, and look at you now."
Old Lady Wu: "My dear daughter, now that you have made it big, you must help your brother. He is the pillar of our Tang family. Only when he is well can our Tang family be well. With your mother's family, you will be more confident, right?"
"Of course I want to take care of my parents, so I want to help Qingqing find a good family. Not only will she be able to live a good life, but you can also get rich together."
Tang Jianjun was eager to make a move: "Sister, can you explain it more clearly? What's going on?"
Tang Fengzhi glanced at Tang Xingqiang and several other children who were listening with great interest.
Tang Jianjun restrained his expression and said, "Kids, go out and play. What are you doing here?"
No matter how unwilling Tang Xingqiang was, he was still driven out, and Tang Qingqing was not spared either.
Tang Qingqing's objection was not taken seriously at all. Tang Fengzhi even laughed and said:
"Children are ignorant and don't know what's good for them. Now she's too shy to agree. If she gets married, I'm afraid she'll be hard to get away. I know the little girl's mind very well. She's getting more and more spoiled and she likes Na Qiao more and more."
The eldest aunt was not able to stay in there either. Tang Fengzhi looked down on her sister-in-law. She and her eldest brother had a bad relationship. When Tang Jianshe was sick and had poor legs and feet, she was the one who suffered the most. She was even scolded because she was the cause of Tang Jianshe's poor legs.
Because of this, Tang Fengzhi was often angered, so she had no good feelings towards her elder brother, let alone her elder sister-in-law.
As soon as they left the house, Tang Xingqiang and Tang Xingsheng were worried.
"Sister, what did Auntie mean by that just now?"
"Sister, what should I do? Auntie won't really take you away, right?"
Tang Xingqiang learned from Tang Xingsheng that his aunt was going to sell Tang Qingqing by weight, and he immediately became anxious.
"Sister, you better hide away! Who knows what kind of idiot your aunt will find for you?"
Tang Qingqing became much calmer when she walked out of the room. Her face looked very ugly, but she was not afraid.
"I won't let them succeed."
Aunt: "We will go back and discuss this with your uncle. Don't worry, your uncle and aunt are here and they won't let you get married in such a hurry."
Several people went to the main house. When Tang Jianshe heard that Tang Fengzhi wanted to take Tang Qingqing away and find a family that could pay a dowry of 500 yuan for her, he frowned.
"Qingqing, don't worry. If you don't want to, no one can force you."
Aunt: "But what if my uncle and my sister-in-law agree?"
In rural areas, marriage is still decided by parents.
Tang Qingqing does have some abilities, but the Public Security Bureau cannot interfere in family affairs.
Tang Qingqing: "Don't worry, Auntie, marriage is free, they can't force me."
However, my aunt was not very optimistic. If Tang Jianjun and Zhao Dahua insisted and Old Lady Wu also supported them, this matter would become very troublesome.
"They can't control Qingqing yet." Tang Jianshe said in a firm tone.
Tang Xingqiang: "Sister, we will protect you. If mom and dad dare to do anything wrong, we will not support them in their old age."
Tang Xingsheng also nodded repeatedly: "Sister, we are here!"
Tang Qingqing laughed and touched the two men's heads. It was not in vain that she had loved them during this period.
Tang Xingqiang still couldn't help but be curious: "What on earth did my aunt and the others do to make so much money?"
Tang Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "It could be a black coal kiln."
"What the hell?" Tang Xingqiang blinked.
After the opening up, the economy soared, but at the same time, due to lack of experience, various loopholes appeared and public security in various places became increasingly chaotic.
In addition, due to the unrest, there were various problems in some places, so many people took advantage of the opportunity.
Remote mining areas are often more chaotic, with a lot of messy things happening.
"It's illegal mining and secret transactions."
Tang Xingqiang glared: "This is undermining the foundation of socialism!"
"I'm just guessing."
Tang Qingqing just remembered that there was a line about Tang Fengzhi in the book, but it was not very clear.
She only remembered one sentence, that except for Tang Jianguo who was adopted out and became a good person under the influence of his stepfather, all the others in the Tang family were excellent.
The reason why Tang Jianjun brought his family to the city to find Tang Jianguo and stayed in the city desperately was also related to this aunt. It seemed that because of him, his family could no longer stay in the village.
The roles of supporting characters in the whole book are vague, and many times they jump around or even have no beginning or end.
Sometimes I clearly want to write about it in detail, and I think this person might be of some use, but then I don't know why, while I'm writing, I lose focus and jump to the interaction between the male and female protagonists.
Tang Qingqing's expression turned grim when she thought of the interaction in the book. Although she didn't think that person was her and didn't put herself in the situation, she was still inevitably affected.
She often doubted that the book was nonsense. It was puzzling how she, with her personality, could endure such interactions and relationships and still feel happy and sweet.
All I can say is that what is written in the book is not me. Maybe it’s because my life was swapped and then changed, or maybe the book just can’t be trusted.
Therefore, she simply treated it as a magical book that had a little to do with herself, but not too much.
Based on Tang Fengzhi's mysterious look and her attitude of "I'm rich and look down on those three guys", and the geographical location of their village, it would be unlikely for them to do other business, so she guessed that this was related.
"If that's the case, if I get caught, will I have to go to jail?" Tang Xingqiang's eyes rolled around.
"Sister, then we won't be afraid anymore. If Auntie dares to do anything wrong, I will go to the police station and sue her! She will lose all her business and all her money!"
Tang Qingqing couldn't help but kiss him: "Oh my God, how can you be so awesome!"
Tang Xingqiang blushed, "Sister! You, what are you doing? I, I'm already that old!"
Tang Qingqing laughed happily, "You actually feel shy too!"
The originally depressing atmosphere was eased a lot by this little episode.
Tang Jianshe said: "We can just talk about this, but don't wade into this muddy water unless it's absolutely necessary."
Tang Xingqiang: "Uncle, your awareness is not good enough."
"If it is really a black coal kiln, it cannot be opened without some connections. How can such a big hole not be seen? And if it is to be transported out and sold, it must be impossible without connections. We ordinary people cannot afford to offend those people."
Tang Jianshe said earnestly, "Qingqing, I know you are a good girl, and you will definitely not be able to tolerate it. Don't blame your uncle for being cowardly, but if you don't have a way to complain, it will not only be in vain, but also hurt yourself."
Tang Qingqing: "Uncle, I'm just guessing. I don't have any evidence. I won't do anything rash."
The uncle looked at Tang Xingqiang, who quickly assured him, "As long as they don't take my sister away."
At dinner, the whole family gathered together for a reunion dinner.
Tang Qingqing actually didn't want to join in the fun because she knew that nothing good would be said at the table.
But no matter what, she is a member of this family. No matter whether she is Tang Jianjun's child or not, Tang Fengzhi is her aunt.
She finally came back, and if she ran away, she would definitely be criticized later.
In the countryside, the same things happen over and over again, and it's easy to be criticized.
Tang Fengzhi was smiling again, and she couldn't be too rude.
I don’t know what Tang Fengzhi said to Tang Jianjun and the others, but it was obvious that Tang Jianjun and Zhao Dahua were always praising her.
Old Mrs. Wu also treated her daughter with a kind and pleasant face, with a hint of flattery.
Tang Fengzhi was very enthusiastic at the table and kept making arrangements, with her mouth and hands busy as well.
"Qingqing, you are too thin. Eat more. If you gain some weight, you will be more popular."
Tang Fengzhi stuffed a chicken leg into Tang Qingqing's bowl. Tang Xingwang's eyes widened because he usually ate the chicken legs.
He is the eldest son and grandson, and will be the one to support the entire Tang family in the future. Therefore, all the delicious food and drinks are given to him first, and Tang Xingqiang and Tang Xingsheng can only get one chicken leg each.
"Aunt, thank you." After thanking her, Tang Qingqing passed the chicken leg to Old Lady Wu, "Grandma is old, eat more."
Tang Fengzhi was not angry, but nodded with relief:
"That's right, you should be filial and obedient, only then will you be liked by others after you marry."
Tang Qingqing pretended not to hear and smiled perfunctorily.
Zhao Dahua said, "Sister, I'll ask you to help Qingqing find a good one. She's a little immature now, it would be better if she gets married."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll bring her to see him when I return."
Tang Qingqing didn't expect that she couldn't even have a peaceful meal. "Aunt, you don't have to worry about my marriage. I'm not getting married now."
This sentence suddenly changed the originally harmonious atmosphere, and everyone looked unhappy.
Tang Jianjun: "What nonsense are you talking about! Even eating can't stop you from talking!"
Tang Fengzhi's attitude was quite gentle, "Don't worry, aunt will make arrangements. I'm your real aunt, how can I cheat you? Why doesn't a woman get married when she grows up? Nothing is more important than marrying a good man. A woman's blooming period is only a few short years. If you don't take this opportunity to pick a good one, you will regret it in the future."
"Whether it's good or not has nothing to do with me. My current task is to study."
"What Auntie said before was just an angry remark. She didn't mean to stop you from going to school."
"After I finish middle school, I will go to high school, and then I will take the college entrance exam. The earliest I can talk about marriage is six years from now."
Tang Fengzhi's expression froze and her brows wrinkled.
"What's the point of a girl studying so much? She will have to get married, have children, and take care of a big family. Isn't it a waste of time? You are not young anymore. If you delay for another six years, you will become an old maid. By then, who will want you except the old man whose wife has died? By then, don't pick the good ones. I don't know if you are in a hurry!"
"That's my pleasure."
"Who would want you at your age? You really want to be an old maid and never get married, and be laughed at by others."
"That's my own business, and I am willing to bear the consequences."
Tang Fengzhi sneered and looked at Tang Jianjun and Zhao Dahua.
"This is the daughter you raised. It's as if I want to harm her. The people I introduced to you are hard to find even with a lantern. They can't even come even if they beg for it. Hey, what's the attitude! Do you really think I'm so precious? If you weren't my niece, I would look at you more!"
Tang Jianjun slammed the table and waved his hand towards Tang Qingqing.
With a "pa--" sound, it hit the back of the hands of Tang Xingqiang and Tang Xingsheng who were standing beside them.
When the two saw Tang Jianjun raising his hand to slap him, they quickly reached out to block it.
Tang Jianjun exerted so much force that the two children's arms could not withstand such a strong force and pushed their arms towards Tang Qingqing's face.
Although Tang Qingqing was not hurt by the beating, she was pushed and staggered, and almost fell off the stool.
Tang Jianshe was immediately furious: "What are you doing?"
"All of you, get out of my way. I've been patient for a long time! Do you really think you're powerful now? As my father, I can't do anything to you! You're my child, so even if I beat you to death, it's only natural!"
Tang Jianjun became even angrier after being stopped like this. He stood up from his chair and took big strides towards Tang Qingqing.
The eldest aunt hurried over to stop her, and Tang Xingsheng and Tang Xingqiang also hurried over to stop Tang Jianjun.
Tang Qiaoqiao also ran over, crying and shouting, "Uncle, don't hit me," while holding him back.
Both of Tang Jianjun's legs were held by someone and he couldn't move at all.
"Tang Xingsheng, Tang Xingqiang, you guys want to be beaten too, don't you?"
"Sister-in-law, get out of my way! This is our family's business, it's none of your business, there's no need for you to pretend to be a good person. Mind your own business, and stop looking for trouble with other people's families all day long!"
The eldest aunt was small, so it was difficult for her to deal with Tang Jianjun: "It's New Year's Day, you can't hit the child."
"I can beat my child whenever I want, even the king of heaven can't do anything about it! Brother, sister-in-law, do you think I don't know? You just want to take advantage of Tang Qingqing because she has the ability to bring things back! It's just that the little girl is stupid and can't see through your tricks!"
The eldest aunt froze, but still held on.
Zhao Dahahua also came over at this time and tried to pull his aunt away.
"We are taking care of our own child, why are you making such a fuss? Do you really want to treat the daughter I raised as your own? Pah! It was not easy for us to raise her to such an age, and now we can take some back, but you are just being nice people here and want to take advantage of her for free!"
Seeing that her mother was about to be pulled away, Tang Qiaoqiao hurriedly hugged Zhao Dahua again, and the scene was in chaos.
Tang Qingqing had already left the dining table and ran straight to the door.
"Tang Qingqing, if you dare to run, I will smash the one-eyed blind man's house in a moment!"
Tang Qingqing stopped in her tracks, her eyes fierce, "If you dare to smash my master's house, I will smash you!"
"This is outrageous. You actually talk to your parents like that! I must teach you a lesson today, or else you will be in big trouble in the future!"
Tang Fengzhi also stood up from the stool and waved towards Tang Qingqing.
Tang Qingqing had already made preparations, so there was no way she was standing there. She quickly ran into the yard and picked up the broom.
She had been attacked so many times, and had insisted on learning the self-defense skills taught by Zhai Hongyi over the years.
Women are often not as strong as men, especially since they are smaller and thinner. They can easily suffer a loss in a direct fight, so they practice how to escape and react quickly.
Old Mrs. Wu was so anxious that she slammed the table and said, "It's New Year's Day, what are you doing? Can you please have a good meal?"
"Mom, don't worry about it. This girl has been lawless for such a long time and doesn't take this family seriously at all. She should have been taught a lesson long ago!" Zhao Dahua yelled.
It would have been fine in the past, but if Tang Qingqing is not tamed today, this great opportunity will be missed, and there will be no way to control her in the future.
Seeing how she is a scoundrel, the betrothal gift will definitely not fall into their hands.
They could tolerate everything else, but they absolutely could not let Tang Qingqing do whatever she wanted in this matter.
"Brother and sister-in-law, if you continue to do this, we will no longer be brothers. You think we don't know that your teacher instigated Qingqing, so she is so distant from us.
You have really lost all conscience for your own sake. You have been driving a wedge between us mother and daughter all day long. You are still so wicked even though you have lost your legs!"
Zhao Dahua's words made Tang Jianshe and Wang Simei look very ugly. Tang Jianshe, who had finally stood up from the chair, was so angry that his whole body was shaking slightly.
Tang Jianshe: "How dare you say such things! You have no right to interfere in Tang Qingqing's marriage."
Zhao Dahua sneered: "We, as parents, have no right to interfere. Do you think you, as an uncle, can interfere?"
Tang Jianshe didn't say much to him, but looked at Tang Jianjun:
"If you really consider yourself Qingqing's biological father, then think carefully about her."
"Brother, why don't I think about her? Do you know who I'm going to introduce to her? You're just talking nonsense here. Or are you thinking of leaving it to your Qiaoqiao, so you're deliberately ruining it!"
"Nonsense!"
"Haha, big brother, who knows what you're thinking? Can you swear that you haven't taken advantage of Qingqing?"
Tang Jianshe pursed his lips and Tang Jianjun sneered.
"That's enough. I treat you as my elder brother, so I won't say anything if Qingqing supports you. But now it involves Qingqing's life event, and you are still shameless to meddle in other people's business. This is unacceptable. My biological parents are still here, so why should your family interfere?"
Tang Fengzhi was also very angry when he heard this: "No wonder this girl has become like this, she was so obedient before. Brother, I am not saying anything to you, can you be quiet? You have a bad leg and gives in to you, you can't always take advantage of everyone just because of this.
Even if we are brothers, we shouldn't do this. Your legs are not good, it's not our fault. Today is not just about Qingqing's marriage, she is too arrogant now, she thinks she has some ability and doesn't care about others. This won't work, we have to change it."
Tang Qingqing wanted to slip away, but she didn't expect that Tang Xingwang had already locked the gate and was still guarding there with a smug look on his face.
"Sister, you can expect to be beaten today. You caused me to be beaten before, and I still remember it now."
Tang Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly, "Get out of the way."
"No, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Humph, you don't treat me as your brother, do you think I care about you being my sister? People like you should be disciplined. You run around outside all day, what decent girl is like you?"
Tang Xingwang has grown up now, and is about 1.78 meters tall. Although he is thin, he is very strong.
If Tang Qingqing really wanted to fight with him, she would definitely suffer losses.
"Tang Xingwang, are you really going to make things difficult for me?"
Tang Xingwang was humming a little tune, looking in a very good mood.
"You are very capable, aren't you? If you are so capable, then find a way to avoid getting beaten."
Tang Xingwang's look of wanting a beating made Tang Qingqing clench the broom in her hand more tightly.
The scene was in chaos. Tang Qingqing calmed herself down and looked around to see how to escape.
If I don't run away in today's situation, I will definitely suffer a loss. No matter what happens, I must run away.
Tang Qingqing didn't expect that Tang Jianjun and Zhao Dahua would suddenly tremble because of Tang Fengzhi's arrival.
I guess something good happened to make him so tough.
Seeing Tang Jianjun leaving Tang Xingsheng and Tang Xingqiang behind, Tang Qingqing was about to climb over the wall when her uncle suddenly yelled:
"That's enough! If you don't stop, I'll go to the police station and sue you tomorrow! Tang Fengzhi, don't think you're great just because you have some dirty money, and don't think that everyone doesn't know about the dirty things you've done! Zhao Dahua, Tang Jianjun, you have the nerve to sell Qingqing out, check your conscience!"
Tang Jianshe did not forget to call out Mrs. Wu adopted by name: "Mom, are you doing this to your third brother?"
Mrs. Wu's expression changed slightly: "You, what nonsense are you talking about? Why are you talking about Jianguo?"
"You all know what I'm talking about."
Tang Jianjun sneered: "Brother, you are really good at sowing discord. I have been dragged down by you all these years without a single complaint, but you stab me in the back. You are not living a good life yourself, and you can't wait to see me live a good life!"
Zhao Dahua also hurriedly said: "Is there any brother like you? We have done our best to you. We supported your family before, and then you said you wanted to split up. Others thought we had done something to let you down.
Now, we are disciplining our children, but it is just a trivial matter, and you have made such a fuss about it. Who doesn't discipline their own children? If Tang Qiaoqiao did something wrong, would you not say a word to her?
We are doing this for the good of our child. She doesn't know what is good for her now. As her parents, what's wrong with us bringing her back on the right track?
Well, now it seems like we are selling our children. How did you always frame us behind our backs to make our children misunderstand us like this? "
After hearing these words, Tang Qingqing temporarily gave up her plan to climb up and escape.
She looked at Zhao Dahua steadily and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"It's not your turn to make the decision about my affairs, and my decision has nothing to do with my uncle and aunt."
Tang Fengzhi: "They are your parents! Your parents worked so hard to give birth to you and raised you up, how can you be so ungrateful! You speak to your parents with thorns, and you only know how to contradict them, and you don't even call them mom and dad. Do you think we are angry because you don't want to get married now? It's all because of your attitude!"
Tang Qingqing smiled and said, "They are not my parents, why should I call them parents?"
