Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Father Tang Gets Slapped
Gu Nanzhi guessed wrong!
It wasn’t her big brother who was the unlucky one, but Father Tang.
Pushed home by Tang Chuxia, Gu Nanzhi couldn’t stop thinking about that smile on Tang Chuxia’s face, which kept her from sleeping. So, she went to find her big brother, who couldn’t sleep due to his wound healing.
"Brother, what do you think Xiaxia will actually do?"
Gu Nanzhi held a bowl of dried small fish, nibbling at them next to Beihuai while frowning and seeking his analysis.
Beihuai, disapproving, pushed the bowl with dried fish away, "How would I know!"
Gu Nanzhi really couldn’t find anyone else to analyze with, so could only turn to her big brother: "Don’t be so uncooperative. Every time Xiaxia had that weird smile, it was you who got thrown out to be the punching bag. I’m certain that she won’t move against you now, but then who will she go after?"
Gu Nanzhi couldn’t figure it out. If she couldn’t figure it out, she couldn’t sleep well. If she didn’t sleep well, she would be in a bad mood the next day. Fearing this vicious cycle would drive her mad, she was worried.
Beihuai rolled his eyes. Was he never going to shake off the scandal of being dealt with by Tang Chuxia?
Nevertheless, he was also curious about what Tang Chuxia would do.
But then he remembered the moment his sister had interrupted earlier in the day, which made him see Gu Nanzhi unfavorably.
"If you can’t sleep, go find a man to marry and stop bothering me!" Beihuai tried to shoo her away.
Gu Nanzhi huffed angrily, "How old do you think I am? You’re already hoping I’ll get married? You can’t even find a wife for yourself, and you have the nerve to laugh at me!"
The sibling rivalry was evenly matched; neither was much better than the other.
Beihuai was tempted to say he had a wife, but then again he was afraid of being played by Tang Chuxia, so he bit back his words and shooed her away.
The siblings parted on bad terms.
Gu Nanzhi resented her big brother even more. Looking at the Tang Family’s brothers, each one doted on their sister. When it came to her, her brother was just a roast pork bun—totally unfair.
Leaving aside the quarrel between the Beihuai siblings, let’s talk about Tang Chuxia following Madam Tang to the Wang Family. Upon arrival and not finding Madam Tang, she guessed her mother must have gone to see her uncles. Not worried, Tang Chuxia went straight to find her grandmother.
"Grandma, you must help my mom this time!"
Tang Chuxia hugged her grandmother’s arm, embellishing and conveying precisely what Yang Chao had said, especially Father Tang secretly lending Wen Wenqing fifty thousand yuan and now, Father Tang helping Wen Wenqing.
Grandma’s fiery temper couldn’t be suppressed and burst forth.
"Let’s go, I’ll teach your dad, that bastard, a lesson!"
Tang Chuxia quickly grabbed her grandmother’s arm; although her grandmother was in good health, if something happened to Father Tang because of anger, Tang Chuxia would feel endlessly guilty.
"Grandma, killing him would be useless. We need to make him suffer unbearably!"
Tang Chuxia remembered that Father Tang was afraid of Grandma. Grandma nodded, also agreeing that impulsiveness wouldn’t solve the problem.
"Isn’t your dad about to retire?"
Tang Chuxia nodded. Meddling with her dad’s job wouldn’t mean much; it wouldn’t hurt Father Tang enough.
"Grandma, if you let him retire now, then he’ll just have more time to anger my mom. We can’t do that!"
Grandpa, always smiling, served the duo some pastries, telling them not to rush.
"You all are just making this too complicated. Whatever he cares about, that’s where you should start!"
Grandpa’s words made Grandma realize, and while munching on pastries she said, "Doesn’t he care a great deal about Wen Wenqing? Why don’t we just let him be with that woman?"
Tang Chuxia shook her head, "Wouldn’t that make him way too happy? Besides, if my dad ends up with Wen Wenqing, wouldn’t that be disgusting for me and my brothers? We certainly don’t want a new stepmother!"
Seeing grandma about to explode, Tang Chuxia quickly said, "Not letting my dad marry Wen Wenqing is one thing, but we can let Wen Wenqing marry someone else, right?"
Tang Chuxia could tell from Yang Chao’s demeanor that he had no feelings for Wen Wenqing, so she didn’t have to worry about Yang Chao when dealing with Wen Wenqing.
"Now that Mr. Hu cares so much about Wen Wenqing," she said, "since his son can’t marry Tang Wanqiu, let him marry her!"
After Tang Chuxia finished speaking, her grandmother jabbed her in the forehead: "You little rascal, you’re so bad!"
Tang Chuxia chuckled, "There’s no helping it. Someone has to bear the consequences!"
Her grandfather shook his head: "Your methods are all so messy; this isn’t good!"
He still remembered that newspaper Yang Chao had shown to Tang Chuxia.
Some people are always after fame and fortune. So he planned to start from there, and it also wouldn’t dirty their hands.
Words could elevate someone as much as they could destroy them.
Wen Wenqing had been selfish and self-serving thus far, but she still wanted a good reputation. How could that be?
The grandfather’s status in the business world was beyond the ordinary person’s imagination. Similarly, he had connections at various newspapers; he said he would handle this matter, and he would definitely satisfy them all.
The grandmother agreed.
But the next day, the grandmother took Tang Chuxia out with her.
The grandmother was carrying a horsewhip, which led Tang Chuxia to a bold guess.
She followed her grandmother to where Father Tang worked.
Though Father Tang had very low status at home, appearing like a mere son-in-law who had moved into his wife’s home, his job was a formal government position, and his rank wasn’t low.
He was an important man with a good reputation in his office, and his reputation mattered to him.
When the grandmother entered Father Tang’s office, he immediately greeted her warmly.
But what had Grandmother come for? Father Tang didn’t know, but Tang Chuxia did.
"Xiaxia, lock the door!"
Tang Chuxia uttered an "oh" as she locked the door, but her grandmother was not satisfied: "You go out and lock it from the outside!"
Tang Chuxia shook her head resolutely. What a joke, she thought. She could watch her grandmother sort out Father Tang, but what if Father Tang retaliated and hurt her grandmother?
She leaned against the door: "Grandma, I have to be here. You can’t drive me away!"
Seeing Tang Chuxia’s insistence, the grandmother stopped arguing. She swung the whip in her hand sharply, creating a crisp snap akin to striking Father Tang’s heart.
It scared Father Tang into trembling.
The grandmother flexed her wrist and scoffed, "I haven’t laid a hand on anyone for many years. I might be a bit rusty, but you’ll have to tolerate it!"
Father Tang’s face turned pale as he finally realized what the grandmother intended to do.
He tried to dash toward the door, but Tang Chuxia timely reminded him, "Dad, you might as well just take it. I’m not going to open the door for you."
Father Tang roared, "Tang Chuxia, you little fiend, I’m your father!"
Tang Chuxia responded with an "oh": "Unfortunately, at this moment, I can temporarily forsake my identity as your daughter. I’m just an emotionless backdrop!"
The grandmother was pleased with Tang Chuxia’s words, as the whip in her hand danced towards Father Tang’s body.
Despite being in her seventies, the old lady was still quite adept with the whip.
One whip after another, not a single strike missed, and regardless of how Father Tang tried to flee, he ended up being hit every time.
Tang Chuxia covered her mouth and nose; the office was filled with cotton that flew out from her father’s padded jacket, making it a bit suffocating.
