Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Young Aunt Also Suffers from Inferiority Complex

"Can’t you guys produce one thousand kilograms for your mom? What about my one thousand kilograms?"

Young Aunt, with her hands on her hips, had a face full of displeasure.

Tang Chuxia shrank her neck, who was to blame for this situation?

She couldn’t help but look towards Zheng Duoqing, who also felt quite embarrassed. It wasn’t a matter of production not keeping up with progress, leading to supply issues!

These were all minor issues that could be mollified with some good comforting.

What Tang Chuxia worried about was the condition Young Aunt might propose for the late delivery.

"Accompany me to meet Su Lan with your Young Uncle!"

If it weren’t for Tang Chuxia’s strong comprehension, she might have been completely confused by now.

Just think about this relationship.

Madam Tang couldn’t stand to listen any longer, "Haven’t I told you that my brother and Su Lan have nothing between them? How old are you now? Why can’t you let it go?"

Madam Tang was holding a handful of melon seeds; she now loved to crack melon seeds the most. They were delicious without causing heartburn, who wouldn’t want them?

Tang Chuxia nodded vigorously, but before she could speak, Young Aunt became discontent.

"I don’t care, I have to see it with my own eyes for it to count!"

Fortunately, roasting melon seeds was not something Tang Chuxia had to personally do, especially as Tang Jianbing had welded a drum roaster overnight, which was currently in use. All that was required was to keep an eye on the time and add the seeds.

In the end, Tang Chuxia was still dragged away by Young Aunt.

Dangdang wanted to come along too, and Young Aunt certainly wouldn’t refuse.

But just as they had left the house, they saw Wu Haipeng approaching.

Wu Haipeng, carrying a paper-wrapped sponge cake, was grinning foolishly at Dangdang.

Dangdang’s face turned red.

If Tang Chuxia and Young Aunt couldn’t see what was going on, then they must have problems with their eyes.

"Are those two in some sort of relationship?"

Young Aunt asked Tang Chuxia.

"There seems to be a little something!" Tang Chuxia said vaguely in front of Dangdang, not daring to speak frankly.

Dangdang blushed even more and stamped her foot, telling Tang Chuxia not to say anything.

"Here, this is what you love to eat!"

Wu Haipeng, unabashed, handed the paper-wrapped cake to Dangdang.

Naturally, Young Aunt knew Wu Haipeng and immediately teased him, "What’s up? Only have eyes for Dangdang and none for your aunt?"

Wu Haipeng instantly smiled obligingly, "How could that be? I bought extra so that you all could enjoy it together. If it’s good, I’ll go buy some more tomorrow!"

Seeing that the teasing was ineffective, Young Aunt nudged Tang Chuxia.

Indeed, women love gossip and playing matchmaker.

Tang Chuxia had to cough lightly, "Will we get a share of what you buy tomorrow?"

Wu Haipeng immediately caught on, "Definitely, as long as Xiaxia likes it, I will deliver it to you every day!"

Dangdang poked Tang Chuxia’s arm, her eyes almost spitting fire.

Seeing that she was about to turn into a protective mother hen, Young Aunt clicked her tongue twice, "Not even married yet, and you’re already worried?"

Dangdang: ...

Tang Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh.

"Alright, enough teasing. Dangdang and Wu Haipeng go on a date. I’ll accompany Young Aunt!"

She pushed Dangdang towards Wu Haipeng and snatched away the little cake.

"We’ll eat this. You two go buy another one!"

Young Aunt was satisfied and ran off with Tang Chuxia.

With food at hand, who needed Dangdang?

Dangdang stamped her foot but didn’t leave Wu Haipeng’s side to chase after them.

Wu Haipeng smiled like a fool and raised his hand, pointing at the road, "Let’s go buy another one!"

Dangdang had no choice but to follow and leave.

Tang Chuxia was eating mini cakes with Young Aunt, still talking about Dangdang and Wu Haipeng.

"That kid said he was injured, didn’t he? Where’s the injury?"

Young Aunt still remembered this matter and casually asked.

Tang Chuxia casually replied,

"He said it was on his leg!"

Young Aunt immediately perked up, "Both his legs looked fine to me, could it be... the third leg?"

Tang Chuxia spat out the mini cake in her mouth.

She gave Young Aunt a thumbs up.

Indeed, only Young Aunt could be so unreserved, and what she said was righteous and confident, without any burden.

Young Aunt looked around and lowered her voice, "Let me tell you, your Young Uncle must be up to something; I’ve never seen him so rushed to do something!"

Tang Chuxia... Could there be a possibility that Young Uncle was just scared of her and had to speed things up?

However, Tang Chuxia wouldn’t say that and could only foolishly smile as she watched.

Young Aunt continued talking, and by the end, she was grinding her teeth in anger at whatever it was.

Tang Chuxia could only nibble on the egg cake and nod obediently.

They walked quickly, and soon they arrived at Young Uncle’s university, a bona fide university.

Tang Chuxia was visiting such a place for the first time.

In her mind, a university was a place where beauty and dignity coexisted, but what was with this university that was so plainly simple?

She blankly looked toward Young Aunt.

Young Aunt thought she was nervous and whispered, "Don’t be afraid, I was also uneasy my first time here. Now I’m not afraid anymore. Universities are places for people too!"

Quite reasonable.

Tang Chuxia wasn’t worried about that, but rather she felt an indescribable sense of disappointment.

No wonder her parents used to sigh in her previous life that they were fortunate to be part of a generation where they could do anything they wanted, even at school they could engage in so many activities, contrasting with the seventies and eighties when people sought knowledge purely.

Since her arrival on campus, she hadn’t seen any playful and rowdy students. Instead, everyone was carrying books, and even those she passed by were discussing study-related matters.

Although many glanced at her beauty, no one crowded around to ask for her contact; they all passed her with polite smiles.

This was an educational sanctuary, a place for genuine discussion of knowledge.

Young Aunt’s brash personality changed as soon as they stepped onto campus; she hardly dared to speak loudly for fear of startling someone with a loud voice.

"I envy those who study well!"

She said this nervously to Tang Chuxia.

Tang Chuxia could see it.

"Su Lan is an educated person, and I’m afraid your Young Uncle will despise me!"

Young Aunt twisted her clothes nervously, her previously bold character nowhere in sight.

Tang Chuxia hooked her arm, "If Young Uncle despised you, he wouldn’t have married you, and he is definitely not a superficial person!"

Tang Chuxia was very sure of this because she remembered that the Zheng Family, and particularly Young Uncle, were mentioned in the book. After Young Aunt’s accident, he never married again.

Despite brief mentions, he was a professor of integrity.

Also, late in the book when the female lead visited him, he even chased her away.

Tang Chuxia remembered this plot point and had thought back then that there were indeed people with solid values in the book.

While they talked, they arrived at the office. With the twelfth lunar month in progress and holidays just a few days away, there weren’t many students, and the teachers didn’t have to teach daily.

They reached the office, and Young Aunt pulled Tang Chuxia to peek through the window into the inside.

Tang Chuxia had just peeked when she realized something wasn’t right and quickly tried to pull Young Aunt back, but it was too late.

Because Young Aunt had already charged in, and Tang Chuxia could only hold her forehead and follow, fearing that Young Aunt, in her rashness, might cause an incident with Young Uncle.

What a mess!
