Chapter 145: Chapter 145: A Happy Family

"Tang Xiuyuan, kneel down for your mother!"

A loud shout burst from the main room, and Father Tang paused in his movement to swipe at Zheng Duoqing.

Then a bump came flying out of the house and landed directly on Father Tang.

Father Tang didn’t even dare to dodge; he could only raise his hand to shield his face and let the bump hit him.

"Mom, don’t get agitated!"

Madam Tang hurriedly supported Grandma, really afraid that she might get overheated and have her blood pressure spike, causing problems.

Tang Chuxia also went over to soothe Grandma.

Father Tang obediently knelt in the courtyard, looking dejected.

Zheng Daqing couldn’t resist gossiping: "What’s going on? What happened? Did Young Uncle find a mistress?"

The response he got was a roll of the eyes, "How are you so smart?" Tang Chuxia’s reaction made Zheng Daqing burst out laughing: "Did he really find one?"

Zheng Duoqing held down his cousin’s head: "Kid, stop staring at Young Uncle’s gossip; he’s in trouble now!"

Zheng Daqing was about to say something when he saw Su Lan come out of the main room, followed by Young Uncle, and his mouth dropped open so wide he could fit an egg in it.

"It’s no surprise if Young Uncle found a mistress, but what’s going on with Young Uncle? He’s brought her back openly? Small Aunt didn’t explode?"

Zheng Duoqing shook his head; this was a mess.

What on earth was in this kid’s mind?

How can he say just anything without fear of getting into trouble?

Even worse, he was loud enough that Young Uncle heard him, whipping off his shoe to smack Zheng Daqing.

Zheng Daqing ducked to escape, and nobody said anything about an uncle hitting his nephew.

Su Lan hid behind Madam Tang, bewildered by the family chaos.

She was a bit out of sorts until Tang Chuxia couldn’t take it anymore and quietly explained to her: "Don’t mind it, everyone interacts like this!"

Su Lan laughed dryly: "I can see that; everyone gets along well!"

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so lively.

The chaos ended with a shout from Grandma.

Everyone lined up obediently in the courtyard.

Grandma glared at them one by one from left to right, fuming.

"Explain what’s going on?" Grandma pointed at Father Tang, questioning him.

Father Tang felt wronged, but at least this time he didn’t have to kneel. He clasped his hands together, "Mom, it’s all because that rascal Zheng Duoqing falsely accused me, otherwise Minglan wouldn’t be angry with me!"

Zheng Duoqing shouted from the end of the line: "Grandma, Young Uncle is lying. I didn’t falsely accuse him; I openly reported that if it weren’t for me telling, Young Uncle would have already given the money to that old hag Wen Wenqing!"

Father Tang pointed at Zheng Duoqing but was cut off by Grandma: "You shut up!"

Father Tang was on the verge of tears. It was Grandma who told him to speak and then told him to shut up.

Should he speak or not?

Isn’t this just bullying an honest man?

Grandma moved to stand in front of Zheng Daqing, "Why aren’t you in school, brat? How come you’re home?"

Zheng Daqing immediately looked guilty, averting his eyes, seeking help from Tang Chuxia, but she wasn’t taking the bait.

Helping him at this moment would be setting herself up.

Seeing his cousin was unreliable, Zheng Daqing turned to Zheng Duoqing and immediately gave up since his brother was in too much trouble himself. He had to confess, "Grandma, we’re on vacation now!"

Grandma uttered an "oh" and remembered it was already lunar December, cold and freezing outside, and the schools were on break!

Zheng Duoqing, seeing his cousin let off the hook, quickly chimed in: "Grandma, Daqing is in his third year of high school; they don’t get a vacation. He skipped class to chase a girl!"

Grandma took off her shoe and smacked Zheng Daqing’s butt.

"How dare you skip class! I’ll beat you, you little brat!"

Zheng Daqing didn’t dare run, and bent over to take the spanking, eyes fixed on Zheng Duoqing. If looks could kill, Zheng Duoqing would be in pieces.

Backstabbing brother!

Zheng Duoqing grinned cheekily, unaffected: "Daqing, don’t blame your brother. Think of when you tattled on me!"

It might as well be written on his face: Come on, let’s hurt each other!

Tang Chuxia was speechless, two childish fools.

Grandma smacked Zheng Daqing a few more times before letting him go.

She turned to Su Lan and said, "Girl, sorry for letting you see a joke!"

Su Lan shook her head repeatedly, "Not at all, not at all, I’m actually envious!"

Her family relations were ordinary, not as lively as the Zheng clan.

Seeing Grandma calm down, Young Uncle sidled over with a smile: "Mom, shall I go help Su Lan with her paperwork now?"

Grandma acknowledged with a nod. Young Uncle had just stepped to the doorway when someone grabbed him.

Everyone in the courtyard couldn’t hold back their reactions.

Tang Chuxia hadn’t even exclaimed when Zheng Daqing burst out with a cuss.

Immediately, Zheng Duoqing started stepping back, sensing his own butt would not remain safe today.

They watched as Young Uncle was scooped up in a bear hug, spun around three times, and then the dizzy Young Uncle was plunked down on the ground, sitting dazed.

"What’s wrong? It’s just three spins. Didn’t you love spinning me around back then?" Young Aunt perplexedly lifted Young Uncle up.

Grandma and the others couldn’t help but rub their faces.

Their eyes fell on Young Aunt’s hair, and they rubbed their faces again.

Tang Chuxia couldn’t stop her mouth from twitching.

Burly Young Aunt had her hair in two braids, wearing a pink floral padded jacket, which wasn’t an outrageous outfit, just par for the course.

What was eye-catching was her face.

Who knows where she got that rouge, with two strikingly red blotches on her cheekbones like morning suns, bright and blinding.

Exaggerated blush, paired with eyebrows drawn with charred wood sticks, and bright red lips.

It was hard to look directly at her.

Madam Tang was speechless, and the same went for Su Lan, trying hard not to laugh out loud since it would be rude. She pinched her palms, not daring to make a sound, lest she burst out laughing.

Finally, letting it out quietly, she whispered to Madam Tang: "Sis, Cui Xiang’s taste is kind of unique!"

Madam Tang chuckled.

"She doesn’t have that kind of sense. Those three little rascals must be behind this!"

When it came to understanding people, Madam Tang was quite sharp.

Her gaze scanned over Tang Chuxia, Zheng Duoqing, and Zheng Daqing, finally settling on Zheng Duoqing.

Zheng Duoqing waved his hands: "Aunt, don’t look at me, I didn’t tell Small Aunt to do this!"

Madam Tang pointed a finger at him, ready to drag Young Aunt to wash her face when unexpectedly, Young Aunt picked Young Uncle off the floor.

She looked at him displeased.

Young Uncle raised a hand to cover his eyes.

So dazzling!

But just as Young Aunt was about to explode, her gaze swept over to Zheng Duoqing, seeing him shaking his head furiously, and thought he was advising her not to get angry.

She nodded seriously, indicating she understood.

Zheng Duoqing had an ominous feeling.

Tang Chuxia also sensed something big was about to happen.

Before they could think about what might happen, they heard Young Aunt pinching her voice, sticking out a delicate finger to poke Young Uncle:

"Wendong brother, do I look good?"
