Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Doting on the Daughter-in-law
Tang Chuxia ignored Tang Jianjun’s teasing; she had already conveyed her little brother’s intentions completely, as the preparation of gifts was Madam Tang’s arrangement.
After eating, Tang Jianbing did not continue to anxiously press the matter of proposing, but instead took Tang Chuxia out to work and earn money.
"Little sister, Big brother is short on cash!"
Tang Jianbing expressed his intentions very directly and clearly.
Tang Chuxia lowered her voice, "Don’t you also have a share of Dad’s personal savings?"
Tang Jianbing scratched his head, "I want to buy an apartment and move out after getting married to avoid conflicts from living together."
Truly a man who dotes on his wife, just look at what he’s saying.
Although Tang Chuxia, as a younger sister-in-law, believed that it was better to live separately after marriage to avoid conflicts with the parents, it was a sensitive topic for a woman to bring up. It was best if the men could understand it.
Tang Chuxia gave Tang Jianbing a thumbs-up.
"For Big brother’s generous heart, let’s work hard!"
Unfortunately, before they could even step out of the yard, Zheng Duoqing arrived.
"Where are you going? We still need you for the roasted goods!"
In the past few days, Zheng Duoqing had secured quite a few orders, practically carving the desire to earn money onto his forehead.
Tang Jianjun grabbed Tang Chuxia’s arm, "Little sister, I am your real brother!"
He obviously didn’t want to let her go.
Zheng Duoqing, of course, understood the importance of blood relations and didn’t dare to make a claim on this matter, he could only plead pitifully, "Little sis, I’m indeed not your real brother and certainly cannot compare to how close your big brother is with you, it’s right that you go with him, but what about those orders? They’ll have to be canceled!"
Tang Chuxia: ...
Green tea artistry truly belonged to Zheng Duoqing.
While they were tugging at each other, Tang Jianjun sauntered out.
"What’s this? What’s all this pulling and dragging? What kind of behavior is this?"
Tang Jianjun pushed Tang Chuxia, signaling her to go ahead with Tang Jianbing, while he draped an arm around Zheng Duoqing’s shoulders.
"Cousin, how about a chat with your brother?
Zheng Duoqing’s Erkang-style hand gesture was useless, he could only watch Tang Chuxia and Tang Jianbing walk away, stamping his foot in frustration.
As for the orders, he had to drag Tang Jianjun along as a stand-in, since he had meddled in their affairs.
Tang Chuxia and Tang Jianbing were indeed working hard to earn money, visiting one factory after another, not even stopping for a break during lunch. They tirelessly faced each issue, with Tang Chuxia providing a verbal report, and Tang Jianbing taking notes and communicating with the person in charge.
Efficiency and earning money!
These were their two demands.
It wasn’t until the afternoon when they came back that they learned due to their absence, Madam Tang had already taken Tang Jianjun to the Gu Family for a meal.
"Did you two know about Aunt Hong’s cooking skills? Did you deliberately sneak out?"
Tang Jianjun was clutching his stomach, his face ashen, while Madam Tang brought him some medicine.
"Don’t wrongly accuse Little Four and the youngest. It’s all on you. Everyone in the family was hinting at you not to eat, yet you dared to take a bite. You’re really gutsy!"
Madam Tang was particularly speechless, always thinking this son was very clever, yet today he turned out to be so earnest.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Tang Jianjun and Gu Nanzhi really didn’t see eye to eye, Madam Tang might even consider having her son be a live-in son-in-law.
After Tang Jianjun finished his medicine without a word, he clutched his stomach and ran to the bathroom.
The sound effects of his rapid steps followed him all the way, causing Tang Chuxia and Tang Jianbing to burst into laughter like fools.
It was rare to catch a glimpse of Tang Jianjun’s embarrassing moment. As siblings, they would definitely not pass up such a perfect opportunity.
Fortunately, the two were very measured and didn’t provoke Tang Jianjun. They quickly got busy again.
After three days of hard work, when Zheng Duoqing caught them again, Tang Chuxia felt a bit worn out.
This was even more grueling than using her Divine Power, truly a test of her patience.
Luckily, after three days, they had made quite a bit of money. Tang Jianbing finally had enough to buy gifts, and, feeling very pleased with himself, let Tang Chuxia go to console a near-tearful Zheng Duoqing.
Zheng Duoqing’s spices were running low, just waiting for Tang Chuxia to mix up a new batch.
During these three days, licorice’s mother and father had secretly come to the city to see her and, noting her transformation, understood how well the Tang Family had cared for licorice.
They were true farmers, without any cunning plots. The Tang Family was good to their child, so they were good to the Tang Family in return.
This led to them helping to acquire peanuts and chestnuts from several nearby villages.
With a courtyard full of peanuts and chestnuts, and two roasting pans already at work non-stop,
Tang Chuxia finished mixing the spices, and Wang Aihong came to tell her they were going to present a plaque to Old Guan.
The plaque was funded by Tang Chuxia, but the students involved weren’t just Wang Aihong. There were a few others, all of whom apparently had decent relationships with the original owner of her body, and Tang Chuxia knew them all.
When young people get together, they easily bond.
The group arrived at the shop making the plaque and discovered that Wang Aihong had ordered a particularly large one.
None of them could carry it on a bicycle, so they had to take turns lifting and carrying it over to Old Guan.
The journey was quite eye-catching, especially with the phrase on the plaque Wang Aihong commissioned: "May Your Pupils Fill the World!"
In these times, presenting a plaque was a very particular matter, yet these few, chuckling and laughing, carried the plaque through the streets brazenly.
Old Guan was originally at home doing laundry but seeing his students appear with a plaque in hand turned his face green.
"You little rascals, are you sick of this old bag of bones living?"
The struggles in the past years had been intense, and as a teacher, he had suffered quite a lot.
Old Guan was a broad-minded person, but even he knew fear.
Tang Chuxia thrust the plaque into his arms, "Old Guan, get us some water, will you? We carried it all the way here, exhausting!"
Grinding his teeth and although quite irritated, Old Guan knew he couldn’t let his students go thirsty.
He leaned the plaque against the wall and went to pour some water for the kids.
Wang Aihong gave Tang Chuxia a thumbs up.
It had to be Tang Chuxia who came up with the solution. They had been wondering the whole way how to get Old Guan to accept the plaque. They assumed that with Old Guan’s temperament, it certainly wouldn’t work, and they might even have to return it.
Who would have expected Tang Chuxia to take on the task?
Not only did Old Guan accept the plaque, but he also poured them water.
How dreamy?
"Drink slowly, no one is competing with you, I’m not even a teacher anymore. Why would you give me such a plaque? To annoy others?"
Old Guan looked at the plaque again and genuinely liked it.
As a teacher, who doesn’t dream of having pupils succeed everywhere?
Tang Chuxia nodded, "That’s exactly why, to annoy you. So many of our classmates have made something of themselves, the only one who didn’t get into college is me. If we don’t give you this, would you still tutor me?"
Old Guan burst into hearty laughter.
He assured her that as long as Tang Chuxia came to him, he would spare no knowledge.
Tang Chuxia giggled twice, leaned in, and whispered to Old Guan, "Next year, I’m definitely going to take the college entrance exam, and you must be my teacher!"
With a few young people livening up the atmosphere, while things were still lively, several more people arrived, entering the house with drooping faces, as if someone owed them eight hundred million.
Seeing the newcomers, the smile on Old Guan’s face vanished instantly.
