Chapter 180 Let’s not go on
"When did you know about this?" Gu Siqing asked Han Zhengping again.
"I knew it a long time ago," Han Zhengping told her the story without her asking.
"After she settled back in the city, she sent money home every month, saying it was for my living expenses. After Erpang was born, she somehow found out and wrote to me asking me to go back. I heard my parents talking about this in the house that day.
I still remember my father's words: "Her background is bad. Who knows when she'll be punished again? It's not safe for the child to be with her." She never mentioned it again, but she still sent money home every month.
Some time ago, my dad bought two houses in Kyoto. He told my mom that Erpang and I would each have one. My mom disagreed, and we had a fight. I don't know what he said to her, but she wired me tens of thousands of yuan, and my dad gave it all to me.
After hearing this, Gu Siqing didn't know what to say. Tian Huiying really gave Han Zhengping a hard time because of the property issue.
"So what do you think?" Gu Siqing asked.
Han Zhengping smiled and said, "My mother is like that, a little narrow-minded. She says whatever she wants to say, but I don't take it to heart."
Which child would care so much about his mother?
Gu Siqing had to admire Han Zhengping's maturity again. He could think things through so clearly at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
No matter how bad Tian Huiying's attitude towards him is now, she raised him and he has called her mother for so many years. This affection cannot be severed.
Besides, it’s not a big deal. If she makes a face or says a few unpleasant words, and you don’t take it to heart, she will be the one who feels uncomfortable.
"Is your biological mother related to "China Youth Literature"? "Gu Siqing asked.
Han Zhengping, with an expression that showed he knew nothing, said, "I greeted her just to make sure your manuscript reached the editor. As for whether it will be used, the editor still has the final say. She just has a friend at the magazine and can't make any decisions. Your manuscript was accepted because it's well written."
Gu Siqing didn't know whether she should believe him or not, but since they had already decided to use the manuscript, she didn't dwell on it anymore. She just had to be more careful when she wrote next time.
"Okay, thank my aunt for me." Gu Siqing said.
Han Zhengping hummed. This was actually the first time he'd contacted her, and the first time he'd asked her for help. Before that, he'd been feeling a bit unsure whether or not to accept her.
But after this incident, he realized that what happened back then wasn't her fault. She hadn't ignored him all these years, and accepting her was fine. It was like having another relative. After learning everything he wanted to know, the two of them talked for a while before Gu Siqing left. As they left, Tian Huiying was washing clothes in the yard, using a washing machine. Two months ago, both families had bought washing machines.
"Auntie, it's more convenient to wash clothes with a washing machine." Gu Siqing spoke to Tian Huiying with a smile.
Han Zhengping walked over and took the clothes out of the tub to hang out to dry. Tian Huiying smiled and said to Gu Siqing, "This machine is so easy to use. It used to be so hard to wash the sheets, but now I can just put them in and stir them."
"Come back and ask Uncle Han to buy you another refrigerator." Gu Siqing said.
Tian Huiying smiled happily, "It's even harder to get a ticket for the refrigerator."
"Uncle Han has a solution." Gu Siqing approached her and said, "Auntie, are you doing well now?"
Tian Huiying smiled even more happily, "Okay, I never thought I would have such a good life before."
Gu Siqing: "Your future life will be even better. Uncle Han will make money, and Brother Zhengping and Erpang will be filial to you. Auntie, you will wake up laughing even in your dreams."
As long as you don't do it again.
Tian Huiying laughed and said, "No wonder your parents praise you every day, you really know how to coax people with your little mouth."
"How could I coax you?" Gu Siqing pointed at Han Zhengping who was hanging clothes and said, "Look how filial Brother Zhengping is."
The smile on Tian Huiying's face paused. Gu Siqing saw it and said nothing more before leaving and going home. She couldn't make a big monster anyway, as Han Deyi and the old man of the Han family were keeping her under control.
Han Zhengping helped Tian Huiying hang up the laundry and listened to her grumbling about how there was so much to do at home and how she was the only one doing it. After washing his hands, he said, "Why don't I ask my dad to hire a nanny? It doesn't make much money anyway."
Tian Huiying was always nagging, and she didn't expect him to say that, so she said, "A small amount of money is still money."
Han Zhengping didn't argue with her. He smiled and went back to his room, picked up the book on the table and started reading. He really didn't take Tian Huiying's attitude to heart. He had the same idea as Gu Siqing. After all, she couldn't become a big demon. A few unpleasant words were just a few words, he didn't care.
Before dinner, Han Deyi and Mr. Han came back from the store, and the family sat together to eat. Tian Huiying didn't dare to nag anymore. He was not only afraid of Mr. Han, but also afraid of Han Deyi.
After dinner, Han Zhengping talked to Han Deyi about buying a house. "Xiao Si asked me if I wanted to buy a house. I thought it would be better to buy a house than to keep the money in the bank, so I agreed."
Han Deyi knew that the Gu family was going to buy another house. Gu Jianguo told him that Gu Siqing had earned more than 60,000 yuan in royalties and was going to divide the money with their family. He thought that Gu Jianguo's distribution method was very good, but it could not be implemented in their family.
"Okay, you can decide for yourself with your money." Han Deyi understood his son's thoughts a little. Xiao Si was a smart and likable child, and he was happy to see it happen.
He was not worried that his child would have such thoughts at such an early age and it would affect his studies. The main reason was that both Han Zhengping and Gu Siqing always ranked first in the exams, so there was nothing to worry about.
After this, the father and son talked about other things. Han Deyi really liked this son. Although he was not his biological son, he had raised him for so many years that he was like his own.
Moreover, compared with the two sons, the eldest son is obviously more promising in the future, and the family may have to rely on him in the future. But Tian Huiying, that woman, doesn't understand and makes trouble every day.
Before going to bed at night, Han Deyi told Han Zhengping that he wanted to buy a house with the Gu family. If he didn't tell her, she would find out later and it would cause trouble again.
"Since he can buy the houses himself, there's no need to give him the two houses in Kyoto." Tian Huiying felt uncomfortable when talking about the houses.
Han Deyi was also angry after hearing her words. He said in a bad tone: "He bought it with his own mother's money. We gave it to him out of our heart. Let me tell you again, you have two sons, not one."
"What good things have he missed?"
"Back then, when you were not feeling well, you had to take so many medicines. Where did the money come from? Have you forgotten?" Han Deyi asked.
Tian Huiying was speechless. After a while, she said, "Since she wants Zhengping back, then just..."
"Shut up!" Han Deyi looked at her angrily and seriously and said, "Tian Huiying, if you dare to say such things again, we'll break up."
After saying that, he strode out of the house and went to sleep in the next room.
