Chapter 1075 Overturning the table, no more
On Sunday, the old couple of the Zhuang family, along with Zhuang Hualin and Xiang Pengfei, came to the courtyard as a whole family.
Xiang Pengfei had grown a lot taller after not seeing Huang Ling for two years. When he saw Huang Ling, he smiled sincerely, "Aunt."
Huang Ling's expression darkened. The child was innocent, but for the sake of her child, she could only harden her heart and forced a smile to Xiang Pengfei, "Lin Dongzhe heard that you were coming and kept saying that he would take you to the bookstore to buy a Rubik's Cube. Go find him to play with it."
Xiang Pengfei did not notice the strangeness in Huang Ling's tone, and excitedly went next door to find Lin Dongzhe.
"Hello, Aunt Song, Uncle Lin, and Brother Hao." Xiang Pengfei greeted them politely.
Before Song Ying could speak, Lin Dongzhe couldn't wait to pull Xiang Pengfei out the door: "Mom, I'm taking Xiang Pengfei to the bookstore."
"Be careful on the road. Do you have enough money?"
"I took out all the pocket money I saved, it's enough."
After Xiang Pengfei left, Song Ying stood at the door listening to the noise next door, while also looking at Qin Hao.
Huang Ling from next door kept Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting, brother and sister, and then directly started a fight with the old couple of the Zhuang family: "Mom and Dad, you want Pengfei and Zhendong Zhenbei to live in, but I don't agree. There is no room for them at home."
Grandma Zhuang was not at all flustered and said with a smile: "We have also considered that. Let Xiaoting go. Your second aunt and I can help take care of her."
Song Ying, who was eavesdropping from the next door, was furious: "What a bullshit! This old woman is so vicious. She stuffed three growing boys into Sister Ling's house and asked Xiao Ting to do housework for them. This calculation is really going to make sparks fly!"
Huang Ling ignored Grandma Zhuang and turned to Zhuang Hualin: "I deliberately sent Pengfei away because there are some things that are not convenient to say in front of him. I will speak frankly here. Before Tunan is admitted to university, I do not agree to Pengfei living here."
Zhuang Chaoying didn't expect Huang Ling to tear her apart in front of the whole family. She was shocked and angry, pointing at Huang Ling: "You...you..."
"Tuanan will face the college entrance examination as soon as school starts. I can't let anyone affect his exam." Huang Ling ignored Zhuang Chaoying's angry eyes.
"You're crazy!" Zhuang Chaoying said angrily with his face flushed.
Zhuang Tunan said at this time: "Mom, I will take care of myself and not be influenced by my brothers."
Huang Ling felt sad when she saw her son, who had a bewildered look on his face and didn't understand the situation. She was determined to divorce her husband to fight for the interests of her children. She never backed down, even if it was hard and difficult, and she was branded as unfilial. She only cared that her children could understand her difficulties.
Just as Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang were about to open their mouths to refute, they heard a disdainful voice coming from outside the door.
"Zhuang Tunan, don't overestimate your ability. With your grades, if you pay a little attention, you will fall outside the top 30 in the grade. And you are still bragging here."
Zhuang Tunan's face immediately turned red, he stammered but was unable to refute. Coming from Qin Hao's mouth, not only him, but even Zhuang Chaoying could not find any fault with it. After all, Qin Hao really got the first place in the grade in every exam.
Grandma Zhuang glared at Qin Hao unhappily: "This is our family affair. It has nothing to do with you. Children, don't get involved."
Qin Hao ignored the old woman, gave Huang Ling a reassuring look, and continued.
"My parents are gone, but luckily Aunt Song took me back home. Aunt Huang has taken good care of me over the past few years, and I have long considered her half a relative. Today, your entire Zhuang family came out to bully Aunt Huang alone, and I definitely can't just watch her being left alone and helpless."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who bullied her?" Mr. Zhuang pointed at Qin Hao angrily.
Qin Hao walked up to Zhuang Tunan and shouted in an irresistible tone: "Zhuang Tunan, raise your head!"
Then, Qin Hao pointed at the Zhuang family and said, "Look at this room full of people, all of them have the surname Zhuang, including you and Xiaoting. Only Aunt Huang has the surname Huang. She fought desperately against this family who wanted to exploit you. You are Aunt Huang's only son, and you are actually speaking for them. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
“I… I…” Zhuang Tunan’s pupils trembled. Yes, so many people in the family have the surname Zhuang, and his mother is the only one with a different surname. But it was this person with a different surname who took the trouble to wash clothes and cook for him, and raised him with great difficulty.
When Master Zhuang heard this, he exploded and pointed at Qin Hao and yelled, "Where did you come from, you idiot? Is this how you, a junior, talk to your elders? Is this how your elders taught you? You have no manners!"
Qin Hao sneered: "My parents died when I was less than eight years old, but my father died in the line of duty to save national property. The factory also gave me a 20 yuan subsidy every month. My second uncle and second aunt abused me, and my grandparents were accomplices. This is the upbringing of our family, but I am also very grateful to them because they taught me a truth."
"In this world, whether you are related or not does not matter whether you are related by blood or not. Some people pretend to be righteous and take advantage of their blood relationship to exploit you. Some people, even though they are not related by blood, treat you better than their own children."
Song Ying in the next room listened to Qin Hao's every word, tears welling up in her eyes. The proudest thing in her life was being Qin Hao's guardian.
The Zhuang family was in complete silence. Qin Hao's words were like a huge hammer hitting the hearts of the Zhuang family members. Even Zhuang Chaoying was powerless to refute. Didn't he know that his parents favored his younger brother? He just didn't want to admit it.
Zhuang Hualin also burst into tears after hearing this. Because she was a girl, she was treated differently by her parents since she was a child. Sometimes she was not allowed to sit at the table for meals and had to sleep on the table every night until she went to the countryside. When she returned to Suzhou, her second brother and sister-in-law looked at her in a different way. If it were not for her son Xiang Pengfei to have a good growth environment, she would not have wanted to beg her parents in a humble manner and embarrass her eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Grandma Zhuang quickly walked around Qin Hao and said to Huang Ling: "Eldest Wife, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it behind closed doors. You don't need to find an outsider like this to talk nonsense. We are already so old and we still have to be abused by a child..."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Chaoying looked at Huang Ling with more resentment in his eyes, feeling that Huang Ling was slapping her parents in the face.
Huang Ling pulled Qin Hao to sit down, and then said seriously: "I joined the cotton mill after graduating from junior high school. After working for five years, Chao Yingcai was transferred from Changzhou to the affiliated middle school as a teacher. My length of service is longer than his. The wedding house was applied for in my name. Later, when Tunan and Xiaoting were born, the factory helped me change to the current two rooms. The house is a benefit given to me by the cotton mill. If I don't agree, no one else can live in it."
After saying that, Huang Ling looked at Zhuang Chaoying again: "If Chaoying insists on letting Pengfei, Zhendong and Zhenbei move in, we should get a divorce first. Tunan and Xiaoting will stay with me, and he will move out."
"You, you, our Zhuang family doesn't have a daughter-in-law like you!" Mr. Zhuang was so angry that he smashed the teacup.
Zhuang Chaoying's veins also popped up and his face turned red.
Zhuang Xiaoting had never seen her father like this before, and she was so scared that she burst into tears. Qin Hao patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, your grandparents won't let your parents divorce, they don't dare. If your father divorces, he will have to move in with them. Over the years, your father's money has been used for the family's living expenses, and the rest has been handed over. He is now penniless, without a house or even a bicycle."
"Haozi, don't talk about my dad like that." Zhuang Tunan weakly pulled Qin Hao's arm.
Zhuang Chaoying was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire. This was tearing off his fig leaf and exposing him naked to his son, daughter and the whole family.
"Mr. Zhuang, Mrs. Zhuang, you think so too, right?" Qin Hao ignored Zhuang Tunan and looked at the old couple of the Zhuang family with amusement.
Mr. Zhuang denied it outright, while Mrs. Zhuang acted as a peacemaker and said to Huang Ling calmly, "Big Boss's wife, you are overthinking. I just feel bad for you taking care of so many children by yourself, so I let Xiao Ting live with you so that I can take care of her for you. I just have good intentions."
Huang Ling sneered: "Then I really have to thank you for your kindness. Originally I only needed to take care of two children, but you asked me to take care of four children. You even sent my own daughter to serve you tea and water. In the end, you are the ones who are kind in return?"
"How can you talk like that, kid? I just said it casually, but you still hold a grudge against me."
Since the relationship had already been completely broken, Huang Ling might as well go for it.
"Mom, I told Chaoying that you are the best at saving face. You always say nice things about things that don't cost money or effort."
Mrs. Zhuang was unable to withstand Huang Ling's full-scale attack.
But this is not the end. Huang Ling continued, "When Chaoying and I were in love, I often heard him say how hard it was for you. You insisted on letting your three children go to school despite the hard times. When Chaoying was studying, he would go home at the end of every month, and you would take him to beg for food everywhere..."
Qin Hao suddenly smiled. Huang Ling looked at him with some confusion. Then she heard Qin Hao say to Zhuang Chaoying, "Uncle Zhuang, have you ever thought about why we have to wait until you go home every month to borrow food when there are thirty days in a month?"
This question also stumped Zhuang Chaoying, and Grandpa Zhuang and Grandma Zhuang's faces changed.
"Because only in this way can you willingly use your salary to 'repay your debts'."
Huang Ling laughed at herself and said, "Haozi is right. I didn't even think of this. Mom, you asked me for my salary at that time. Fortunately, I was careful and didn't give it to you. Later, I found out that the family debt had been paid off long ago, and Chaoying's salary was saved for Ganmei's marriage."
"You also want to give my sewing machine as a dowry to Qianmei."
Grandma Zhuang argued feebly: "But didn't you give it to me in the end?"
"Just because you didn't give me the money doesn't mean you didn't do it, you just didn't succeed." Qin Hao said, turning to Zhuang Tunan and saying, "Zhuang Tunan, remember this when you look at people in the future. Don't look at what she says, but look at what she does. People are best at lying, but their actions won't deceive you."
"Actions don't lie..." Zhuang Tunan muttered to himself.
Seeing that his eldest grandson, who had been brainwashed for so many years, was about to be "led astray", Grandpa Zhuang was so angry that he pointed at Qin Hao and trembled continuously.
"Don't try to sow discord between our family members. I can see that you are the one behind all this."
Qin Hao smacked his lips and said, "You got angry because I hit you right in the heart? God is watching what you do. Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting are no longer children. They can make their own judgments. They will remember everything you have done. Even if they don't understand it now, they will understand it when they graduate from college and start working and get in touch with society."
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself!"
Grandpa Zhuang angrily smashed Grandma Zhuang's teacup to pieces: "Tunan and Xiaoting have good grades, can't they sacrifice a little and help their younger brothers?"
Zhuang Tunan struggled again after hearing this. Qin Hao looked him in the face and said, "Your IQ is not high enough to get into a prestigious school if you just study hard. If you don't work hard, you can only go to an ordinary university. By then, you won't even be able to see my back."
"Grandpa...I..." Zhuang Tunan looked at Grandpa Zhuang with a guilty look.
Master Zhuang was furious and slammed the table fiercely: "You are all a bunch of ungrateful wolves. I have been loving you in vain..."
"Let's go, let's all go. Just pretend that I never gave birth to such a useless son, and I don't have these two grandchildren."
When Master Zhuang used his ultimate move, Zhuang Chaoying immediately panicked, slammed the table and glared at Huang Ling.
"That's enough. Our whole family is begging you."
Before Huang Ling could say anything, she heard Qin Hao say in a sarcastic tone, "Yes, our whole family is begging you, don't be ungrateful, as long as I say the word beg, you have to listen to me, otherwise it will be your fault."
"Teacher Zhuang, you take your reputation too seriously. According to your logic, if you beg the President of the United States, he will give up the position to you, right?"
Song Ying next door laughed out loud when she heard it.
"I don't know who Haozi learned this skill of bullying from, it's too... too good."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lin Wufeng looking at her with an obvious look. Song Ying instantly became angry and grabbed Lin Wufeng hard.
The banker, Zhuang Chaoying, was speechless after being rebuked by Qin Hao. He just felt like his face was torn off and rubbed.
Seeing this, Master Zhuang glared at Zhuang Chaoying fiercely: "Useless thing, you can't even control your wife. We don't have a loser like you in our Zhuang family."
"Let's go, let's go, don't embarrass yourself here and make others hate you."
Seeing this, Zhuang Hualin immediately cried to Huang Ling and begged, "Sister-in-law, Tunan has good grades and will definitely not be affected by Pengfei."
"Hua Lin, your elder brother advised you last year that Guizhou's college entrance examination score line is lower than Jiangsu's, and asked you to wait until Pengfei finished the college entrance examination before transferring your household registration, but you refused, fearing that the policy would change. However, if Pengfei wanted to get into a good university, he had to return to Suzhou, so you planned to force Pengfei to our house from the beginning, right?"
Zhuang Hualin kept crying about how hard life was in the countryside. Although Huang Ling sympathized with her, she still refused for the sake of Zhuang Tunan's college entrance examination.
"Aunt Zhuang, if you really want Xiang Pengfei to study in Suzhou, you can stay and talk to us alone. There's no need to count on a parent who made you sleep at the dining table since you were a child."
Qin Hao's words gave Zhuang Hualin a glimmer of hope, but also made her feel conflicted. Huang Ling had completely broken off with Grandpa and Grandma Zhuang. If she stayed, she might not be able to return to her mother's home.
"Sister-in-law, I just want Pengfei to have a bed in Suzhou..."
Faced with Zhuang Hualin's pleading, Huang Ling looked at Qin Hao with some embarrassment.
Qin Hao nodded at her, and Huang Ling gritted her teeth and said, "Hua Lin, stay and let's discuss this alone."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll give you all my salary with his father, and we'll give you living expenses..."
Grandpa Zhuang and Grandma Zhuang were furious: "You useless thing, hurry up and follow me, do you think she can really take Pengfei in? This is clearly an attempt to sow discord between us."
Zhuang Hualin's eyes were filled with tears, but his expression was extremely firm: "Even if there is only a one percent chance, I want Pengfei to stay in Suzhou. I can't let him be like his father, carrying a pickaxe all his life."
Grandpa Zhuang and Grandma Zhuang were so angry that they turned their eyes to Zhuang Chaoying: "Zhuang Chaoying, you are useless. What use do we have for you!" (End of this chapter)
