Chapter 77 Pengfei has a place to go
Zhuang Ganmei looked wilted, and the other three were not much better.
As soon as she came out, the Zhuang family surrounded her. Lin Fang walked towards Zhuang Ganmei, but her eyes were looking at another person.
Among the three, Huang Ling only knew this person because she had met him once at the banker's house.
His name is Li Yuanhang. He has been a friend of Zhuang Ganmeihao for many years. He has no formal job and makes a living by doing odd jobs. Because his family conditions are too poor, he has not yet married.
He and Lin Fang had gotten together at some point, no one knew.
The confidentiality work was done quite well, at least Zhuang Ganmei hasn't discovered it yet.
A few people stepped forward, then took a few steps back, and covered their noses.
Because the "unknown liquid" that Huang Ling splashed on them yesterday had fermented for a day and a night, the smell became even stronger.
The comrades from the police station endured the stench, criticized them again, and sternly warned them before releasing them.
There were no cars at that time, so they had to take the bus despite the smell.
Thinking of this, Huang Ling felt like laughing.
Zhuang Ganmei didn't know what his family had done for him that day, and when he saw them, he started complaining:
"Why didn't you bring me some clothes? They stink! Huang Ling, you stink..."
Huang Ling was observing Lin Fang. She had already confirmed the look between the two and was secretly happy. When she heard Zhuang Ganmei calling her name, she reacted and immediately retorted:
"You're the stinky one! Say one more word and I'll tear up the letter of apology. You'll have to stay in jail for as long as you want! Also, don't mess with me anymore. I have plenty of ways to deal with idiots like you!"
"Okay, okay, she has nothing to do with us from now on. Stop talking and go home quickly!" Zhuang's mother pulled her son.
It is true that a mother never minds her child’s stinky smell.
After leaving the police station, someone came to pick up the other two people, but no one came to pick up Li Yuanhang because his parents were in his hometown in the countryside.
Zhuang Chaoying followed his family silently. He had not yet come to his senses and was in a daze the whole day.
"A Ling...child..."
"Don't worry, I've already told the children about the situation. Once you've rented a house and packed it up, let me know and then you can come and pick up Tuanan." Huang Ling was still as decisive as ever.
Zhuang Chaoying could only nod.
He followed back to the dealer first.
When Zhuang Ganmei returned home and saw Xiang Pengfei, she was furious and started cursing at him.
Xiang Pengfei walked around a few people and went out, sitting on the stone steps in the yard.
He had only one goal, to stay, no matter what.
Mom cried so hard, and Dad was scolded so badly by her. As long as he was in Suzhou, Mom and Dad would feel better.
"Shut up, Zhuang Ganmei! It's all because of you, you're so reckless. Don't blame others! In this family, you're the only one who owes others anything. No one else owes you anything!"
"Zhuang Chaoying, what do I owe you?"
"A Ling and I are getting divorced because of you. What do you owe me? I give you so much money every month, but I don't get your respect for us. Do I still owe you? And your sister, you took over her shift and she lost her job. You didn't want to go to the countryside, so she went instead. You don't owe her anything."
"Your divorce is your own problem, what does it have to do with me? The job and the rural residency were arranged by my parents, what does it have to do with me? If there's any debt, it's her parents who owe her!"
"You're truly hopeless! Don't worry, I'll rent a house right away. Once I have one, I'll take Pengfei away. No need to bother you. Of course, you can forget about my salary or Hualin's salary forever."
"Who cares about your salary?"
Zhuang Chaoying was speechless and turned around to go out to find Xiang Pengfei.
Xiang Pengfei still sat obediently in the same position as last time.
"Pengfei." Zhuang Chaoying called out.
"Uncle."
Zhuang Chaoying sat next to him: "Pengfei, your aunt and I are divorced."
"Uncle, it's okay. I'll try not to bother grandma and the others. If they think I'm noisy, I'll just sit here." Xiang Pengfei answered calmly.
"No, you can follow me from now on. But you have to stay at your grandma's house for a few more days. When I rent a house, I will take you and your brother Tuanan to live there." Zhuang Chaoying patted his shoulder.
Xiang Pengfei stared at Zhuang Chaoying with wide eyes, seeming a little bit unbelievable.
Zhuang Chaoying nodded at him.
"But, following me won't be the same as what you'd have at home. You have to be mentally prepared."
"I know, uncle, I can do everything. I can wash my own clothes and cook simple meals." Xiang Pengfei was very happy.
"Also, you know why your mom sent you here. It's so you can study hard. If your grades aren't good, you're slapping me in the face. Your mom will blame me. So, for your own sake, for your parents' sake, and for mine, you have to study hard too."
"Okay, I will." Xiang Pengfei nodded heavily.
"Okay, then you go back! I'll be leaving soon and pick you up soon. Just be patient for a few days and bear with whatever they say, okay?"
"I know."
Xiang Pengfei sent Zhuang Chaoying to the gate with many expectations in his heart.
In the room, Zhuang's mother pulled her youngest son to persuade:
"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. Hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes. Go to the factory tomorrow and explain everything properly. Don't lose your job again."
She said to Lin Fang, "Lin Fang, hurry up and get some clothes for Gan Mei!"
"I'm tired and want to take a nap. He's a grown-up and he has his own hands. What else can we expect him to do all day long except causing trouble?" Lin Fang muttered, turned around and went into the room, lay down on the bed, and covered her head with the quilt.
Zhuang Ganmei was about to explode again, and her mother explained on Lin Fang's behalf: "She is really tired. She got up early this morning and was busy with your affairs. You caused trouble, so it's normal for her to be angry. Just comfort her."
As she spoke, she tugged at his sleeve. She didn't want her daughter-in-law to run away.
Zhuang Ganmei had vented her anger, and when she heard Zhuang Chaoying promise to take Xiang Pengfei away, her goal was achieved and her anger subsided a lot.
After he took a shower and changed his clothes, Zhuang's father and mother told him everything that had happened today.
Only then did he realize that Huang Ling had used this matter to strangle his brother, divorced his brother, and even took away 1,800 yuan. He thought to himself that Huang Ling was really cruel and powerful.
"Don't blame me for this! They were never going to get along anyway." He was still being stubborn.
"That's right. It's really boring after all the trouble. Ask your mother to find another one for your brother. Your brother is a teacher after all, so it will be easy to find one. Tunan is already that old, so he won't be a worry."
Mr. Zhuang was so tired after a day that he didn't even have the strength to speak.
He was not worried. Without Huang Ling's exploitation, there would be a second one. This time, they would find an honest man. It didn't matter if he had no education or good looks, as long as he was honest, had a decent job and could work.
Zhuang's father felt that the affairs of the old family had finally come to an end, and Xiang Pengfei had found a place to go. From now on, the Zhuang family could finally return to peace.
