Ling Yong's frustration intensified, so he quickly ate his meal and went to his room.
He felt that this home was not a home: his father was a wanderer who only came back for a few days when he ran out of money, took the money, and left again.
Although his mother was good, she was strict. He never played properly with anyone. Either the neighbor's child was bad, or the neighbor's child was not worthy of playing with him.
He really likes his older sister. She's honest, gentle, and doesn't gossip much. However, his mother's attitude towards his sister puts him in a dilemma. He doesn't know which side to take or leave.
In short, everything at home made him extremely upset, but he didn't know how to express himself. He didn't know what to say or how to say it, and it seemed like saying anything would be wrong. In the end, he could only stay in his room and sulk.
Outside the house.
Zhang Huixiang was still nagging.
A little while later, Aunt Wang from next door came over.
Ling Yong was doing his homework, listening to the two women chatting intermittently.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he involuntarily stopped doing his homework, pricking up his ears to listen to their conversation.
Aunt Wang: "Lingyun is still at school? He hasn't come back this week?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Huixiang was furious. She snorted, "That's right, I don't even want to go home anymore. Do you think those soldiers in the army have nothing better to do than meddle in my family's affairs? That day, if it weren't for that soldier, hmph!"
Aunt Wang rolled her eyes. "That's right. If you're so capable, you can manage for a lifetime. What's the use of studying? You're just supporting other people's families. What good does it do for your own family? Let me tell you, none of those who go out to study come back. They all marry and move to other places. They can't help their families with anything. They've raised their daughters for nothing. They're all ungrateful wretches, not a single one of them is good."
"That's right! Oh! I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have run into something like this." Zhang Huixiang was very anxious; Aunt Wang's words struck a chord with her.
"Then why don't you think of a way to keep her studying? That will cost a lot of money. That soldier is taking care of her this semester, but what about next semester? You'll still have to pay for her. Are you really planning to support Lingyun? Let me tell you quietly, everyone from the east village to the west village says you're stupid, that you've been fooled by a soldier."
"They're talking nonsense!" Zhang Huixiang slapped her thigh, which stung! "Who said that? Was it Zhang Qiang's wife? Or Ma Liu's wife? You two shameless bastards! Come and talk to me if you dare!"
Aunt Wang quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "Don't shout, don't shout. I'm just trying to tell you something, why are you shouting?"
Zhang Huixiang sat down, but her anger only intensified.
Aunt Wang continued, "I'm not trying to criticize you, but as a mother, don't you have any other ideas? I think you should just marry Lingyun off. You could at least get some dowry money. After all, you've raised her all these years, you can't let her suffer a loss, can you?"
Marrying?
Zhang Huixiang felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal the bright moon.
Oh, right! Get married!
Now that she's married, let's see how Lingyun can cause trouble. I've never heard of someone being able to continue their studies after getting married.
Ling Yong is about to start high school. He's getting older, so his food, clothing, and daily necessities need to be improved. Otherwise, he'll be laughed at by the city people.
It has to be said that Aunt Wang's suggestion was exactly what Zhang Huixiang was thinking. She quickly asked, "Do you have any good candidates in mind?"
"That depends on your preferences. Do you mind if someone is divorced?"
Zhang Huixiang curled her lip. "A divorced man trying to marry a virgin? Aren't you ashamed? I can't bear the shame."
