Chapter 146: Chapter 146: The Unattainable is Always Restless

A flock of sparrows flew over!

Splat—

A lump of bird droppings landed on Young Aunt’s head.

The air, already silent, became even quieter.

Only Young Aunt’s twisted face kept changing and collapsing.

As Tang Chuxia and the others were about to cover their faces and run away, a loud scream came from Young Aunt’s mouth.

A lump of snow flew out, and two sparrows, still not far away, fell flutteringly.

Young Aunt twisted her face as she rushed over, grabbed the two sparrows, and swung them around in a Thomas spin by their legs.

Tang Chuxia could see the eyes of the two sparrows spinning in a centrifugal motion, dizzy and questioning their bird lives.

Zheng Duoqing shuddered, and whispered to Tang Chuxia, "Little sister, should I make an escape first?"

Tang Chuxia, uncharacteristically refrained from mocking him, and seriously said, "Let’s meet at my house tonight, for now, run for your life!"

Because what followed was easy to foresee: Young Uncle and Young Aunt joining forces to give Zheng Duoqing a brutal beating.

Zheng Duoqing ran, but he couldn’t outrun the already raging Young Aunt. As expected, the courtyard echoed with the ghostly howls of someone who surely had a blossoming behind.

Grandma clicked her tongue, a bit embarrassed, and said to Su Lan, "Child, why don’t you go back first, and let Wendong send it over once it’s done?"

Su Lan let out two exclaims before realizing, blushing red as she ran off.

As she ran, she pondered: The Zheng Family people all seem a bit off!

After Young Aunt washed her face, she sat aggrieved next to Young Uncle, listening to Grandma’s scolding.

Tang Chuxia and the others were in the next room watching Zheng Duoqing lie on the bed, grinning and grimacing in pain.

"Enough already, isn’t this all your own doing!" Tang Chuxia disagreed with him.

Zheng Duoqing motioned for Zheng Daqing, who was applying ointment, to be gentler, then tearfully said to Tang Chuxia, "Little sister, your brother is too miserable, can you give me a bit more of that share?"

Tang Chuxia: ...

It seems this is more about getting money rather than life?

She readily agreed.

As the twelfth month began, many families were starting to prepare for the new year, and people were relatively more generous with spending money they usually wouldn’t.

Tang Chuxia, with her advanced knowledge reserve, although never having done business, could give some suggestions that provided the Zheng brothers, who hailed from a merchant family, some inspiration.

The three of them whispered for a long time, seizing the opportunity.

After eating, Tang Chuxia was taken home by Madam Tang.

On the way back, Tang Chuxia handed the money she intercepted from Father Tang to Madam Tang.

Madam Tang glanced at it, "You keep it to spend!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

Indeed, Madam Tang is quite the magnate, but she didn’t accept the money.

Although this sum wouldn’t hurt the family finances, it’s still a considerable amount, and with the elder sister-in-law about to give birth, the family had many expenses.

"Mom, I don’t lack money, so you should keep it!" Tang Chuxia stuffed the money into Madam Tang’s pocket.

"As for my dad, are you really going to let him off just like that?"

More than the money, Tang Chuxia was a bit disgusted by Father Tang’s actions.

Madam Tang sneered, "And what if I don’t let him off? It’s not like I can divorce him, right?"

Tang Chuxia wanted to say divorce him, what’s the point of keeping such a man?

To disgust people?

But she also understood that Madam Tang had more considerations.

"I know there won’t be anything between him and Wen Wenqing, your dad, although having thoughts, still has boundaries, and wouldn’t dare cross the line!" Madam Tang said this, to which Tang Chuxia simply pouted.

Father Tang might not act out, but isn’t emotional infidelity a form of infidelity?

"No matter what decision Mom makes, I will support you!" Tang Chuxia held Madam Tang’s arm, "I feel like Wen Wenqing isn’t up to something pure, she couldn’t possibly be short on money!"

Speaking of Wen Wenqing, Madam Tang snorted coldly, "She certainly has money, just what she’s wearing alone, and the bracelet on her wrist, would sell for much more than one thousand yuan."

Tang Chuxia thought about it and indeed agreed.

Wen Wenqing appeared to be dressed plainly, but the workmanship of her clothes and the jewelry she wore were not ordinary.

"Mom, do you think there’s a chance that Wen Wenqing is just testing our limits?"

Tang Chuxia still remembered Gu Beihuai saying that Tang Wanqiu was only released after someone from the Yang Family spoke up.

What exactly is Tang Wanqiu’s biological father’s attitude?

Madam Tang patted Tang Chuxia’s hand, "Stay out of this, I’ve got it!"

Their conversation paused as Father Tang caught up behind them.

Father Tang didn’t dare approach closely, maintaining a few steps distance from the mother and daughter, only going forward when they stopped talking.

"Minglan, ultimately we’ve raised Wanqiu as our own for twenty years, can we really not care at all?" Father Tang said, then saw Madam Tang’s piercing glare, shrank his neck, and realized it was a bit inappropriate, quite embarrassing.

He then straightened up and scolded Madam Tang, "You’ve driven her out, but she’s still legally ours, you should at least preserve some dignity!"

Madam Tang gave Father Tang a once over and beckoned him with a finger.

Father Tang thought Madam Tang was going to repent, quickly lowered his head, only to get slapped across the face.

"Dignity? Tang Xiuyuan, you’re lecturing me on dignity?" Madam Tang slapped him again and kicked him a couple of times.

"It used to be about the children, but now I see, you’re determined to oppose me for a Wen Wenqing, then I’ll grant your wish!"

She punched and kicked, while Father Tang kept calling her a shrew.

Tang Chuxia stood by watching, having no intention of intervening as long as Father Tang wasn’t retaliating.

Ultimately afraid of losing face, Father Tang dragged Madam Tang home, with Tang Chuxia following behind, pondering Father Tang’s back.

She seemed to contemplate whether to recognize this father again.

Yet the original host’s wish was for the family’s happiness, does Father Tang count?

Not easy to define.

When they arrived home, the elder sister-in-law and Dangdang had already prepared the meal, setting the table when they saw them return.

"You all go ahead and eat, we already did!" Madam Tang, afraid the daughter-in-law might overthink, had Tang Chuxia stay to accompany them while she pulled Father Tang by the ear into their room.

Tang Jianbing, munching on a bun, asked Tang Chuxia in confusion, and Tang Chuxia recounted the day’s events, leading Tang Jianbing to take a fierce bite of his bun, "What the heck, only our dad, that big dummy, can be played around by an old woman like this!"

The whole family could see that Wen Wenqing surely wasn’t up to any good, but Father Tang just enjoyed it.

The elder sister-in-law sat down holding her belly to eat, "Could it be possible there’s something else we don’t know about?"

Dangdang slapped a leg in agreement, "Right, otherwise Uncle shouldn’t be defending that woman like this!"

Tang Chuxia waved her hand, wearing a mysterious expression, sipping a bit of water from her teacup.

"Dangdang little beauty, you still don’t understand men! What’s unattainable is always unsettling!" She pointed at Tang Jianbing, "Don’t believe me? Ask Brother, isn’t that the truth?"

Tang Jianbing shook his head vigorously, "Little sister, don’t set me up!"
