Chapter 156: Understanding People
Qin Huiyin picked up the fish basket on the ground and said, "Third Grandpa, everyone has their own choices. Grandpa Song also has his own considerations for making such a choice. Don't worry about him."
Master Tang San put away his fishing rod and said, "You are right. I am already old, but I still don't think as clearly as a little girl like you. Let's not talk about him anymore. What are we having for dinner tonight?"
"Let's go to Uncle Zhang's house tonight. Uncle Zhang has guests coming to his house, and he invited us to have dinner together. He also wanted to introduce the guests to us."
During dinner, Carpenter Zhang formally introduced the joining of Pang mother and son to Qin Huiyin and others.
Pang Shi was a little serious, with a melancholy look on her face, and a bit of sickness on her old face. Zhou Mingrong was generous and had a clean smile, and he looked like a good young man.
"Cousin, this girl is the sister Huiyin we mentioned before, and she is also a partner in our carpentry shop. Our Zhang family was able to get through the difficult times thanks to the help of this noble lady."
Just now, the Zhang family had introduced this young girl who was very smart and capable. Maybe because Qin Huiyin was too young, the Zhang family was worried that the mother and son of the Pang family would not believe it, so they gave them a general account of many things that had happened recently, asking them to focus on Qin Huiyin, this special girl, and not to neglect her or offend her.
When talking about Qin Huiyin, of course, one would mention Li Taohua. Li Taohua's appearance was really eye-catching, and no one needed to introduce her to others. She was the pretty widow Li Taohua, who was well-known to everyone in the area.
Pang looked at Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao. She had noticed since they came in that the siblings had a very good relationship with Li Taohua and her daughter, and they didn't look like stepchildren at all.
"Brother Dazhu, I'll be shy if you keep saying that." Qin Huiyin said.
"We are all neighbors, why say these things? You are good to us, and we are good to you. It is human nature to help each other." Li Taohua meant that our goodness today is due to your kindness in the past. If one day you are no longer so friendly, we will not be taken advantage of.
Li Taohua didn't want her daughter to play the good guy role, so she let herself play the good guy role. She didn't want her kind and gentle daughter to raise a group of ungrateful people, so when they still knew how to be grateful, she wanted to let them know that her daughter's kindness was not without reason, so they should not think about blindly squeezing the value of others, but also know how to be grateful and give.
Pang said: "There are so many relatives in this village. It is considered kind of others not to step on them when they are most helpless. You can help this pair of brothers, which is a great favor. We will not say anything big, but we will remember your kindness in our hearts. If you need us to do anything in the future, just ask, we will never say no."
"Yes, yes, I think so too, but I just can't say it." Zhou said quickly.
Li Taohua looked at Pang Shi with a smile: "What's your name, sister?"
In a short period of time, Li Taohua became familiar with Pang Shi.
Perhaps it was because she had been a widow, or perhaps it was because Pang Shi's experience of raising her son alone reminded her of the most difficult days in the past. In addition, although Pang Shi was serious and did not smile, she was obviously more straightforward and knew good from bad than the Zhang family. Li Taohua found that Pang Shi was pleasing to her eyes, so she spoke to her more enthusiastically.
"Brother Zhou, can you read?" Tang Yi asked with a smile.
Zhou Mingrong smiled and said, "I only studied for two years and can recognize a few words."
"Anyway, he's better than me. Then can you teach me how to read?" Tang Yi said with a smile, "Usually my second sister teaches us, but she's too tired, and I don't want her to work so hard."
Tang Luwu exposed his lie from the side: "You want to be lazy, right? Yinyin is very strict, you changed the teacher just to be lazy."
Qin Huiyin looked over and smiled at Tang Yi: "Little brother, is it true?"
Tang Yi smiled and touched the tip of his nose: "Of course not."
Qin Huiyin thought about it and said to Zhou Mingrong: "If Brother Zhou doesn't mind that he is stupid, then take him to learn together!"
Carpenter Zhang and Zhang Dazhui have to learn to read from scratch, which may give Tang Yixiao a sense of superiority as he has already learned for a while, and this is enough motivation for him to study.
He is now studying with Tang Luwu, but he is not as fast as her and he is impatient, so he lacks motivation to study.
Bang, bang, bang! Someone knocks on the door.
Zhou went to open the door, and when she saw the old woman at the door, her face changed drastically: "Mom, why are you here?"
Grandma Zhang looked cold, and her sharp eyes looked at Zhou coldly: "I am your mother-in-law, and this is my son's house, why can't I come? You are hiding here eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, have you ever thought that I haven't had a hot meal for a few days?"
Carpenter Zhang came over quickly and said guiltily, "Mom, didn't you say before that apart from giving you pension money every month, we shouldn't appear in front of you?"
"That was just an angry remark. How can a mother and son hold a grudge overnight? Why are you still arguing with your mother about this?" Grandma Zhang put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "You should move back home immediately. I think it's really pitiful for you to live here. I'll give you a chance. This family will not be divided anymore."
Zhou opened her mouth and mustered up the courage to say, "Mom, our children are all grown up, and they will all start their own families and careers in the future. Since this family has been divided, let's separate!"
"Boss, is this what you meant?" Grandma Zhang glared at Carpenter Zhang.
Carpenter Zhang had always been honest, and he was afraid of this old lady. When Grandma Zhang glared at him, Carpenter Zhang's legs went weak, and he was a little hesitant.
When Zhang Erzhu saw that his father hesitated again, he was so angry that he slammed the table.
Zhang Dazhu held his shoulders, stood up and said, "Grandma, if you can't bear to leave my dad, then take him back. Erzhu and I are adults and should have our own lives. If you don't share with my dad, we will share with him. Oh, my mom will also share with my dad. After all, my mom still has to help us cook and wash clothes. We can't live without her. My dad is a filial son and always listens to you. You and my dad will live a good life in the future."
"Mom, you should go back. We have already separated. We even asked the village chief and the elders to witness it. We have been filial to you enough over the years."
When Carpenter Zhang heard this, he knew that his wife and children would be separated, so he no longer hesitated and pushed Grandma Zhang out.
Grandma Zhang didn't react, and when she did, she was already locked outside. She banged on the door fiercely, crying and making a scene, the sound was sharp and shrill, and extremely sad.
Grandma Zhang thought she could control Carpenter Zhang because her eldest son was the most honest. He had always obeyed her and never dared to disobey her. How could he be out of control after just a few days?
