However, Tang's father didn't need to explain further. Upon hearing that it was her uncle, Tang Xiaoxiao calculated the time and could roughly guess what the call was about.
Tang Qianqian, the daughter of my second uncle Tang Yuanxu, went abroad to study not long ago in her previous life!
It should have been approved by now. Tang Qianqian is a sophomore this year. In her previous life, she spent two years in H country and then returned to China to continue her postgraduate studies. After graduation, she started her own foreign language tutoring class, mainly teaching English to children in the primary and junior high school age group. Although the scale is not large, the income is quite considerable.
Because of this, Tang Xiaoxiao's second aunt, Cui Hua, often boasted to others that of the three daughters in the Tang family, her daughter was the most successful, had the highest education, and earned the most money.
Even though Tang's father had almost completely severed ties with Tang Yuanxu by then, it didn't stop Cui Hua from putting down the two sisters. Although the two families lived quite far apart, they were still close relatives, and their social circles overlapped considerably. Cui Hua's words eventually reached Tang's father's ears after passing through several people.
Although neither of Tang's parents had any desire to compete, they still felt very uncomfortable hearing these things. Especially since Tang Yuanxu had asked his father for money to send Tang Qianqian abroad in their previous life and was refused, the couple had harbored resentment towards Tang's father and had said countless hurtful things to him behind his back.
After Tang Qianqian graduated and had a stable income, Cui Hua felt as if he had finally gotten his revenge. He made sarcastic remarks about Tang's father, saying that he was short-sighted and had refused to help his niece financially. Now that his niece was successful, his two daughters were nothing.
When the message reached Tang's father, it had already been embellished; the original words were too harsh for people to bear.
In her previous life, Tang Xiaoxiao only heard her parents mention that her second uncle had been refused a loan when she returned home for the Chinese New Year, but she didn't know the exact time. Now it seems that this is the time.
Sure enough, after Tang's mother came down from the third floor, Tang's father said in a deep voice, "Yuanxu called and said he wants to come to our house in a couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Tang's mother frowned: "What are you doing here? Is he coming by himself or is the whole family coming?"
"They said they're going back to their hometown for the New Year, and the whole family should be coming." After saying that, Tang's father couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Who would believe that?
A person who wouldn't even come back to visit their mother's grave after her death, suddenly saying they want to go back to their hometown—no matter how kind-hearted Mr. Tang is, he couldn't possibly believe such nonsense.
"Let them come. They have legs, and we can't stop them from going back to their hometown," Tang's mother said calmly.
Tang's mother didn't even bother to mention her husband's two younger siblings. However, no matter how much she disliked them, they were still her husband's only remaining relatives in the world, so she couldn't say anything too harsh.
Tang's father could sever ties with the two of them and never have anything to do with them again, but as their wife, she couldn't bring it up herself.
"Whatever he wants to do, just give him a meal when he comes, and if he wants to stay overnight, there's a bed for him to sleep in. There's no need to prepare anything special," said Tang's father.
Tang's mother remained silent.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but she was thinking to herself that she didn't seem to have gone back to her hometown in her previous life. She just called and asked to borrow money directly over the phone.
However, according to my parents' account, it seems that her father couldn't help but curse when he received her brother's call, saying a lot of nasty things, and the two brothers parted on bad terms. So, naturally, her second uncle didn't bring up the matter of coming back.
