Chapter 442 Give Me Back My Things
The glasses fell to the ground.
Zhuang Chaoying bent down, picked it up and looked at it in the light. Fortunately, it was not broken, so he put his glasses back on.
"Zhuang Chaoying! You are so bold! You actually stole my passbook! Hurry up and give it to me!" Zhuang's mother grabbed Zhuang Chaoying's arm frantically and shook him.
Zhuang Chaoying rubbed his face and answered slowly:
"Anyway, you can eat and use my things now, without spending a penny. I'll keep it for you first. Don't worry, I won't spend a penny. I'll return it to you after I get out of the US. You can give it to whoever you want."
"You don't need to keep it! Take it out quickly, and the household registration book!" Zhuang's mother roared.
(After checking, it was found that Suzhou ID cards were only issued in 1986, but were not fully implemented until 1987. Since the Chinese New Year had just passed here, it is written that they did not have ID cards yet.)
"I'll keep them all for now. You don't have anything else to do anyway. If you need to do anything, you'll have to ask me to do it, so just leave them with me!" Zhuang Chaoying said lightly.
"Zhuang Chaoying, what on earth do you want to do!" Zhuang's mother hit Zhuang Chaoying angrily.
"What do I want to do! I also want to ask you what you want to do! Can't you just stay calm and not make any trouble? If you want to make any trouble, wait until Zhuang Ganmei comes back!" Zhuang Chaoying's voice also became louder.
"We didn't make any trouble. I just can't find my passbook." Zhuang's mother felt a little guilty.
"Don't bother, don't bother. Then why do you need the passbook? You can't find it. I told you it's right here. Don't you believe me?"
"Who knows if you will use it!" Zhuang's mother gritted her teeth.
"Don't say I won't spend your money. Even if I did, who would blame me? In the end, I still have to thank A Ling. If it weren't for her help in publicity, everyone on the street would know that I neglected your family in order to subsidize you. I spent all the money on you. Now I take some back for my family, what's the problem?"
Zhuang Chaoying listened to what his mother said, he clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white and his whole body was shaking.
This was the first time he truly disobeyed his parents. In the past, they had only said some harsh words, but this time, he actually took action.
Zhuang's mother stared at Zhuang Chaoying in a daze, as if she didn't know him.
"Those are my things. Why should you help me put them away and take care of them? I'm not unable to walk, and my eyes are not blurry. I don't need you to take care of them. Stop talking nonsense and give them back to me quickly." Zhuang's mother stretched out her hand to him.
"I gave it to you so you could open a small shop and then you ran out of money halfway through and asked me for more. You're better at calculating than anyone else."
Zhuang's mother frowned and said nothing, just staring at Zhuang Chaoying with hatred in her eyes.
"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. I can do whatever I want with my own money."
"I told you I won't spend a cent of it if you leave it with me. You can do whatever you want with Zhuang Ganmei when he comes back! I can't let you squander the money before he comes back! Zhuang Ganmei will say that I spent it, but I won't give him the chance to blackmail me."
Zhuang Chaoying understood everything.
He knew exactly what his parents and younger brother looked like.
It’s just that he still had fantasies before, it’s just that there was someone standing in front of him, someone saying things he didn’t want to say, someone playing the bad guy for him, and he only had to be the good guy, he didn’t have to face it himself at all.
Now that this person is gone, he has nowhere to retreat.
"When he comes back, you three can spend your money however you want. Whether you want to open a small shop, a small restaurant, or a clothing store, it's none of my business."
Zhuang Chaoying waved his hands vigorously, chasing away Zhuang's mother like a fly:
"Just do what you need to do. I'm going to be my filial son and cook. Don't let your parents starve and ruin my good reputation."
Zhuang's mother grabbed his clothes and refused to let go: "No! You must give it to me today!"
"Don't even mention today. I won't give it to you until he comes back. If you don't ask me for it, it's fine. The money is still there. But if you ask me for it again, your money will disappear from this world just like mine. When Zhuang Ganmei comes out at the end of the year, I wonder what you'll have to give him."
Zhuang Chaoying's words became increasingly harsh, but also smoother. Just like my sister said, it was so refreshing!
Zhuang's mother slapped him again, but this time Zhuang Chaoying was prepared and blocked it with his arm raised.
Zhuang's mother used great strength to slap Zhuang Chaoying's arm, causing it to feel numb at first and then severe pain.
He remembered that he was also severely beaten when he was a child.
That was when he took Zhuang Ganmei out to play. When he was picking up his shoes, Zhuang Ganmei deliberately hid, causing him to look for her frantically. He was so anxious that he cried, and only then did Zhuang Ganmei come out.
Zhuang Ganmei used this as an excuse to blackmail him into giving her one dollar, but Zhuang Chaoying refused.
I thought everything was fine, but I didn't expect that the younger brother would cry in front of Zhuang's mother as soon as he got home, saying that his brother went out to play alone and left him aside, causing him to get lost and fall. In the end, he found his brother by himself.
Zhuang's mother and father beat Zhuang Chaoying severely with bamboo sticks.
A few days later, Zhuang Chaoying found out that Zhuang Ganmei had hidden it on purpose. He was very angry and told his parents about it. However, his parents did not feel guilty at all. They just said that it was his fault for losing his brother and that he would be beaten if it happened again next time.
Anyway, whatever you do is wrong, so let’s be wrong to the end!
He pushed Zhuang's mother aside and rushed into the room.
When I returned to the room, I saw it was a mess.
In order to find the passbook and household registration book, Zhuang's mother searched his entire room and even lifted up the bed.
Zhuang Chaoying packed up quietly.
Fortunately, he was well prepared. He stole the passbook and household registration book and hid them outside. He did not leave them at home at all.
Zhuang's mother looked shocked.
She didn't know why Zhuang Chaoying had changed so completely after the New Year.
This time, she felt that force wouldn't work, so she thought about it, took a deep breath, walked into the room, and started helping Zhuang Chaoying clean up.
"You are not needed." Zhuang Chaoying said coldly.
"Hey, Chaoying, Mom is also worried because she can't find her passbook. I'm here to help you find it. Don't blame Mom... Mom is also..."
"No need." Zhuang Chaoying interrupted her directly.
Zhuang's mother began to cry silently.
"Don't cry, save your tears until you become beautiful and then use them! See if they help."
"Then you clean up and I'll go cook." Zhuang's mother said softly.
Zhuang Chaoying didn't respond, so Zhuang's mother went into the kitchen to cook. Now Zhuang Chaoying cooks every day, and she doesn't even lend a hand. She thinks Zhuang Chaoying is easy to coax, and all you have to do is be nice to him and say a few nice words to him.
During the meal, Zhuang Chaoying did not say anything polite and just ate without saying a word.
Zhuang's mother took a piece of egg from the tomato scrambled eggs and gave it to Zhuang Chaoying: "Chaoying, try it and see if it tastes good."
Zhuang Chaoying took a few bites of food and said:
"I really admire you. You hit me with quite a lot of force just now, but you calmed down in the time it takes to cook a meal. That's pretty quick! A slap in the face and then a sweet treat. Isn't that a bit too quick? Are you in such a hurry to get the passbook back? Don't be impatient, just wait a year.
Oh, if you want to re-apply for your household registration, you'll need a certificate from the factory. I've already contacted the factory office, and as soon as they heard it was you, they immediately said they absolutely wouldn't issue you a certificate unless I went with them."
After saying this, he turned around and went into the house and closed the door without waiting for Zhuang's mother to answer.
Zhuang's mother was so angry that her face turned red and she swallowed a handful of heart pills to save her life.
