Chapter 525: You Know Best Whether I Am the Child’s Biological Father
Wang Xingwang walked Tian Caihong out of the house with brisk steps and helped her find a carriage back to Dahe Village.
He was still a little worried about Tian Caihong, so he pulled her aside to give her some special instructions.
After Tian Caihong's repeated assurances, he watched Tian Caihong get on the carriage with peace of mind. When the carriage disappeared, he cheered.
Wang Xingwang hummed a little tune as he walked, thinking that if Tian Caihong came forward, her relationship with Zhang Juexia would ease. Then he would pretend to be Tian Caihong's cousin and enter Zhang Juexia's backyard openly.
With his ability, he will definitely be able to work out the formula for soap.
By then, I’m afraid I won’t be able to earn any money.
Thinking of this, his pace became faster. Damn it, that idiot Hetian Caihong had been talking all day and was so thirsty. But the good thing was that she finally got it.
He touched the change on his body, stopped, thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then followed his heart.
After wandering around, I walked into an unknown path and soon arrived at a small courtyard.
Standing outside the courtyard, he heard loud voices inside, and Wang Xingwang's spirits were instantly aroused.
Without thinking, he rushed into the courtyard.
Tian Caihong took a horse-drawn carriage back to Dahe Village. She had just entered the house and hadn't even stood firmly.
Zhang Defu started to curse, "You are becoming less and less respectful of me. You said at the beginning that you would work half a day, why are you back so late?
Not only that, I didn’t bring back a penny after working for a few days.
I might even have to pay for food and travel expenses!"
Tian Caihong was thinking all the way in the carriage. She didn't expect that Zhang Juexia was so rich now and lived such a good life.
Although I was unhappy, I cursed a few words inwardly.
But then, she figured it out, and she seemed to think that what Wang Xingwang said was right. Why should she pick on the richest person in the family?
No matter whether it is false or pretentious, as long as the money is cheated, it's enough.
Then, she thought of the people who were singing opera. These people were talking and laughing under the stage, but when they were on the stage, they cried when they should cry and sang when they should sing, without any hesitation.
She slapped her thigh suddenly and muttered to herself, "My brain really isn't as active as Wang Xingwang's, but I should be able to act at least!
Oh, if only I had come to my senses a few years earlier."
She figured it out in the carriage, and when she saw the roaring Zhang Defu, if it had been in the past, the two would have fought again.
Today, contrary to her usual behavior, she took out the silver Wang Xingwang gave her from her pocket and put it on the table, "Today I will open your eyes.
Look, what is this?
Do you know why I'm late?
It’s because of this thing.”
Zhang Defu looked at the glittering silver, glanced at Tian Caihong in disbelief, then picked it up and took a bite, "Well, Dongsheng's mother, it's real.
Silver, Dongsheng's mother, you are amazing. You have earned so much silver in just a few days."
Tian Caihong took out the snacks she brought back from the teahouse from her pocket and said, "Eat them sparingly and leave some for Dongsheng.
The boss spent a lot of money today, saying that the snacks he brought back from the teahouse are only worth one or two taels of silver!
Zhang Defu had stuffed too many snacks into his mouth and almost choked. He stiffened his neck and forced himself to swallow the snacks. "Dongsheng's mother, what did you say?"
"I said the snack you're eating is worth one or two ounces of silver."
Zhang Defu gasped in shock, and perhaps because he couldn't catch his breath, he started burping one after another.
Tian Caihong glared at him and said, "Look at how little you can do. You're scared by a snack worth one or two taels of silver."
Zhang Defu hiccuped intermittently, "Dongsheng's mother, your distant relative, please be kind and find you a good job."
Tian Caihong waved her hand impatiently, "Alright, stop complimenting me.
Zhang Defu, I was in the county town today and heard something about your eldest daughter. Do you want to hear about it?"
Zhang Defu's heart skipped a beat, and his hiccups stopped instantly, "Dongsheng's mother, is Juexia in trouble too?
Let me tell you, our family can’t stand any more trouble.
The twenty acres of land you took back from Qiuye were taken away by the Li family so easily.
What’s even more annoying is that we can’t see Qiu Ye either.
If Jue Xia gets into trouble in the county, don't tell her you know her."
Tian Caihong was shocked by Zhang Defu's words. "Master, do you also think your eldest daughter is of no future?"
"What kind of future can she have? If she had, she would have made life so difficult for me, her biological father.
From what I've learned from my few secret visits to Yejia Village, I'm afraid she, like Qiuye, is being controlled by her in-laws."
Tian Caihong stared at Zhang Defu for a while and said, "Boss, do you really think your own daughter is incompetent?"
Zhang Defu was too lazy to waste words with Tian Caihong anymore. His eyes were fixed on the small pile of snacks in front of him, and his saliva was about to flow out.
"Dongsheng is young and can't eat so much, I'll eat some more.
This snack is really delicious.”
Tian Caihong held the snacks tightly in her arms and said, "I'm starting to doubt whether you are Dongsheng's biological father. The child has been studying outside all day and must be tired.
Come back and give him some snacks to nourish him, but you're fighting with the child for just this little bit of food."
Zhang Defu chuckled, "You are the one who knows best whether I am Dongsheng's biological father or not.
Dongsheng's mother, you are really good to me. You are thinking about me and Dongsheng when you prepare this delicious food."
Tian Caihong felt uneasy when Zhang Defu stared at her, "Okay, stop staring at me.
If I hadn't been with you for many years and understood your personality.
Just based on what you said just now, I almost thought you and your daughter were colluding to trick me!"
"No, Dongsheng's mother, how can you talk like that?
Who is cheating whom? You have been married to me for so many years, and I have always obeyed you. Why do you say such things out of the blue?
Did you meet Zhang Juexia in the county town and she gave you the cold shoulder again?
Let’s go find her. She is really rebelling against us.
I don’t know the rules anymore.”
Zhang Defu took Tian Caihong's hand and walked out. Tian Caihong took great effort to shake him off, "Boss, can you please not be so angry?
I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you in such a hurry?
Besides, I just came back from the county town, and you dragged me back to the county town again, why are you making such a fuss?"
"Then tell me what's going on?
Did Zhang Juexia do anything out of line?
Let me tell you, no matter what she did, you were just listening to her from outside.
If someone asks us, we don’t know.
Jinshui Town can no longer accommodate her, so she ran to the county town. I knew she would suffer sooner or later."
