Chapter 203: Chapter 203 A Relationship

After the Daoist and Lin Qingchen disappeared, Madam Tang kept pestering Tang Chuxia about what was going on with Gu Beihuai.

Her brother had a smug look: "I said it on purpose. Lin Qingchen is good, but he’s a Daoist, detached and indifferent. If they argue in the future and he hides in the mountains, what would my sister do?"

Tang Jianbing thought he’d made a very reasonable point.

Madam Tang chased him away with scolding.

Tang Chuxia also tried to sneak away but was pulled back by Madam Tang.

"What is going on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month?"

Madam Tang wasn’t easily fooled by Tang Chuxia’s half-hearted explanations. Tang Chuxia had to regroup and think about how to navigate the situation, but clearly, it wouldn’t be so easy.

"If you dare to fool me, you know the consequences!" With Madam Tang’s threat, Tang Chuxia had no choice but to explain:

"I dreamed about the future, do you believe it, Mom?"

Even after saying it, Tang Chuxia felt her words were ridiculous. However, Madam Tang asked seriously: "The matter of you dying on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month?"

Tang Chuxia nodded.

Madam Tang told her to leave; she needed a moment of peace.

Surprisingly, she didn’t ask any further questions and just let her go.

Tang Chuxia was puzzled and grabbed Tang Jianbing as soon as she stepped out: "Brother, is Mom scared out of her wits? Why else would she believe my nonsense?"

Tang Jianbing rubbed his chin: "Isn’t it possible that Mom thinks you’re full of nonsense and can’t be bothered to listen?"

Tang Chuxia: ...

Well, that’s not impossible either.

Pouting as she turned to leave, Tang Jianbing asked Tang Chuxia: "What do you really think of Lin Qingchen? Don’t tell me you truly like him?"

Tang Chuxia vigorously shook her head, "Don’t talk nonsense, I can’t handle a man as ethereal as Lin Qingchen!"

Her brother chuckled: "Then what kind do you like? I’ll help you find one!"

Tang Chuxia sized up Tang Jianbing, "Brother, there’s something off about you!"

She circled him twice, suddenly realizing: "Brother, did you go see Sister Meiyu?"

Tang Jianbing actually blushed.

Thankfully, he was honest and nodded.

Tang Chuxia couldn’t help but sigh: "Indeed, people are different when they’re nurtured by love!"

"What’s so different?" Tang Jianbing curiously pressed, Tang Chuxia nonchalantly replied: "The sour stench of love!"

Tang Jianbing laughed heartily.

His little sister was just jealous.

Tang Chuxia had no time to go back to sleep; Tang Jianbing mentioned that Zheng Duoqing would come by later and probably need her help.

For money, Tang Chuxia had to abandon her plans to rest and started making a list to ensure she could buy everything needed.

Moreover, she was concerned about Ah Duo’s matter.

She wondered how Ah Duo would react to the telegram she sent and hoped to get a response soon, especially since she genuinely feared the chaos at home if her sister-in-law gave birth.

Tang Chuxia also recalled her second brother’s promise to find work for the crippled Zhuzi’s family. Although Zhuzi had a job, his wife didn’t.

Thinking of the peanuts at Zhuzi’s house, she intended to ask Zheng Duoqing to make contact later. If they could set up a collection point, at least the raw materials for the New Year wouldn’t be lacking.

As the list grew, Tang Chuxia realized how much needed doing.

It wasn’t until dusk that she remembered to pick up her sister-in-law.

"If we waited for you to fetch her, your sister-in-law would be in tears!"

Gu Nanzhi accompanied her over, and after a tiring day, the sister-in-law went to lie down and rest while Gu Nanzhi entered Tang Chuxia’s room to inform her of the situation.

Tang Chuxia affectionately cuddled Gu Nanzhi.

"But shouldn’t we visit Old Guan?" Gu Nanzhi suggested. Tang Chuxia looked out at the evening sky; it was only dusk, so visiting was still an option.

"Alright then!"

As they set out, they encountered Tang Jianjun and Dangdang on their way back. On hearing they were going to Old Guan’s, Tang Jianjun advised them, "Mind your words, don’t agitate him!"

Tang Chuxia acknowledged, telling Tang Jianjun to rest well.

After leaving, Gu Nanzhi remarked, "They’re both brothers, yet look how yours cares about you, unlike my brother, who just infuriates me!"

"There’s an old saying: ’Comparing people leaves you frustrated, comparing goods makes you feel thrown away!’"

Laughing with Gu Nanzhi, Tang Chuxia didn’t take it to heart, and upon reaching Old Guan’s house, they saw Liu Meijuan’s family arriving with gifts to apologize, only to be thrown out by Old Guan.

They watched the commotion briefly before knocking on the door once Liu Meijuan’s family left.

Old Guan, holding a broom, nearly pounced but thankfully recognized them and tossed the broom aside.

"Why didn’t you holler when you came, you kids? I thought you were those brats from the Liu family!"

Old Guan welcomed them inside, where his family was, including his son with injuries on his face.

"The brat from the Liu family said it was thanks to Gu Beihuai that the lawsuit was dropped, and our house won’t be taken!"

Old Guan asked Gu Nanzhi, who didn’t know enough and looked at Tang Chuxia.

Tang Chuxia explained the situation briefly, and Old Guan tapped both on the shoulders, exclaiming, "Good kids!"

Tang Chuxia could only grin and bear it, letting Old Guan express his emotions.

Fortunately, Old Guan’s family was sensible and invited them to sit for a chat.

They didn’t stay long, just enough to check on Old Guan’s situation before planning to leave, but Old Guan’s family insisted on keeping them for dinner.

If not for Old Guan’s son’s remark that the house was chaotic and they couldn’t properly host them until things settled, Old Guan would never have let them go.

Leaving Old Guan’s, Gu Nanzhi suggested visiting Liu Meijuan.

"I suspect there’s more to Liu Meijuan’s brother’s story!"

Gu Nanzhi’s curiosity mirrored Tang Chuxia’s desires, so the two eagerly went to Liu Meijuan’s.

Instead, they found Wang Aihong and many classmates blocking Liu’s house.

Seeing Tang Chuxia, Wang Aihong dragged them over to explain.

Turns out, Old Guan’s plight enraged their classmates, and upon learning Liu Meijuan’s brother conned their senior, they all demanded an explanation.

Times might have made people cautious, but empathy wasn’t entirely absent, especially since Old Guan genuinely cared for them when he taught.

The Liu family was now utterly dishonored.

As the sun set, people dispersed, with Tang Chuxia following before getting pulled back by Gu Nanzhi.

Once clear of the crowd, Gu Nanzhi pointed at the courtyard wall, suggesting Tang Chuxia climb over to take a look.

Some things lingered unasked, always on their minds.

Neither felt bound by rules, climbing the wall into the yard with ease.

Once inside, they planned to grab Liu Meijuan, but just as they reached her room, they overheard a heated argument inside.

"It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t given that terrible idea, would I be cursed so much now?"

Liu Meijuan’s brother was airing grievances.

"And do you have something going on with Hu Mingcheng?"
