Chapter 213 My Parents Want a Divorce

Miao Yamin's hands moved quickly, spinning the ball of yarn.

"What else could it be! I passed by Sister Chun Nian's stall that day, and since she wasn't busy, I chatted with her for a bit."

Wasn't that a Sunday? I just asked one more question, why didn't Zhang Tiesheng come to help, and that's when Sister Chun Nian told me.

They were fighting for the next couple of days, so it's good that they didn't come. Just looking at their pathetic faces makes me angry; it'll affect business.

Upon further inquiry, I learned that it was Zhang Tiesheng's younger brother who had come back to borrow money, explaining that the weather was getting colder, his wife was pregnant again, and their elderly parents weren't around.

I finally managed to get a ticket to buy a washing machine.

Unfortunately, I didn't have enough money on hand, so I came back to borrow some from my family.

Shura, you know, given that the Zhang family used to spend all their wages every month, how could Chun Nian's in-laws have any spare money?

Even if there were any, they were taken away when the youngest son got married.

Zhang Tiesheng had less than sixty yuan a month to support his family's basic needs, so where would he get the money?

He borrowed three hundred yuan at once; isn't he just after Sister Chun Nian?

Chun Nian isn't the same fool she used to be, treating people with all her heart. Does she think she can't see what people mean now?

"We've been arguing about this for days! Shura, how could that idiot Zhang Tiesheng have the nerve to argue with Sister Chun Nian?" Miao Yamin said as she rapidly wound the ball of yarn in her hands.

Yao Shula also hummed in agreement.

"That Zhang Tiesheng is just putting on a show. His family's life has improved a bit since Chunian started her stall business, so he's become arrogant."

He only helped Sister Chun Nian deliver peanuts to the guesthouse twice and then thought that all the money in the house was earned by him.

Then, the younger brother comes back and flatters him a bit, while his parents chime in, saying that he's the eldest and should help his younger brother.

If I say anything more, he's the only one who's successful in the family now, so shouldn't he help his younger brother who's struggling financially?

Zhang Tiesheng, that brainless idiot, is just someone who takes advantage of everything, isn't he?

He felt that he was the head of the household and that everyone should listen to him.

Now that Sister Chun Nian doesn't agree to lend him money, he's definitely going to pull some tricks. I reckon he'll secretly lend the money out.

"You'll see if you don't believe me!" Yao Shula took another handful of yarn, put it on her wrist, and asked Miao Yamin to find the end of the yarn and continue winding the ball of yarn.

Miao Yamin quickly found the end of the thread and began to wind it up rapidly.

"No way! If he dared to do that, Sister Chun Nian would eat him alive!"

"Since the Lunar New Year, their family has been much more well-behaved!" Miao Yamin continued.

Yao Shula chuckled.

"Their family...a leopard can't change its spots."

They must think that since Chun Nian is married into their family, she is now part of their family, and they have children. How could Chun Nian possibly cause trouble?

At most, we'll have one argument. What else can we do?

However, I reckon if Zhang Tiesheng really did lend the money out secretly, Chun Nian will definitely make a big scene this time.

They might even get a divorce!

After thinking about it carefully, Miao Yamin also agreed.

The current Chun Nian is not the same Chun Nian who used to suffer humiliation. The current Chun Nian is incredibly powerful. If Zhang Tiesheng really dares to lend money to his younger brother without Chun Nian's consent...

Haha, then his family's life is truly over.

Yao Shula and Miao Yamin immediately whispered something about Zhang Tiesheng again.

Ultimately, the two reached an agreement.

If I ever want to find a partner in the future, I absolutely cannot date someone like Zhang Tiesheng, otherwise it would be like jumping into a fire pit.

Beware of fire, theft, and Zhang Tiesheng...

...

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian happily waited at the popcorn vendor for freshly popped popcorn.

Almost all the children here brought rice or corn.

The old man popped rice one batch after another.

Each "boom!" was followed by cheers and jubilation from the children.

Watching the old man making popcorn pour the rice he had brought into the dark stove, Xiao Tiantian happily tugged at Yao Shuli's arm.

"Brother Shuli, it's our turn!"

"Okay! It's our turn, old man, add more saccharin..." Yao Shuli shouted at the top of his lungs.

The old man who makes popcorn nodded, and was about to put another half spoonful into the oven when Xiao Tiantian shouted again.

"Sir, you don't need to put in too much, just the amount you put in is enough!"

The old man immediately put the bottle back into his pocket.

Yao Shuli...

"You forgot what your older sister just said, to use less saccharin!" Xiao Tiantian looked at Yao Shuli seriously.

Yao Shuli...

Can popcorn taste good without sugar?

"If you want something sweet, you can go to the food factory and buy those rice balls. Now you have to listen to your older sister." Xiao Tiantian remembered every word Yao Shula said very clearly.

Yao Shuli could only nod. Okay, I'll put in less then!

The two of them watched as the old man making popcorn started shaking the stove.

They're also waiting for that big bang that belongs to their own home...

Seeing the old man shaking his hands faster and faster, Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shuli knew that fresh, hot popcorn was about to be made...

The old man glanced at the clock on the stove; the time was up.

The old man put the stove down, covered it with a lid, and stepped on it...

With a loud "boom," the bag still covered shook, and then all the popcorn fell into the bag.

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian happily took the winnowing baskets they had brought and went to pop the popcorn.

"Brother Shuli, look, this business is really good. If we can't keep up with our studies, we should sell popcorn too," said Xiaotian as he scooped popcorn into the winnowing basket.

Yao Shuli nodded as well.

"Well, if you want to make popcorn like this old man, then it's best to choose one of these family compounds. There are many children here, and adults are willing to spend five cents or ten cents to make the kids happy."

If you're selling popcorn in parks, movie theaters, or outside department stores, then sell these kinds of tightly packed popcorn in triangular bags made of kraft paper. They'll pour the popcorn inside and sell it; the business will definitely be good.

Xiao Tiantian kept nodding, agreeing that Shuli Ge was right.

The two were about to take the popcorn home for their older sister and cousin to try when they suddenly saw a child coming from not far away.

The child was crying as he walked...

Let's get a closer look... This kid is actually Sister Chun Nian's Qiang Qiang...

"Could it be that our shot made her cry?" Little Tiantian was a little surprised.

Yao Shuli immediately shook his head.

“Definitely not! Qiangqiang, come here, what’s wrong? Who bullied you? Come and tell your uncle.” Yao Shuli, who had the seniority, immediately called out to Qiangqiang.

Qiangqiang walked up to Yao Shuli while crying.

"Uncle, Uncle Tiantian! Waaaaah!"

Little Tiantian, who is a year older than Qiangqiang, really likes this nickname, and he immediately pats his chest.

"Who bullied you? Tell your uncle, and your uncle will stand up for you!"

"Waaaaah! My parents are getting a divorce!" Qiangqiang cried even louder.

Yao Shuli, Xiao Tiantian...

"Your parents are getting a divorce! Who will you live with then?" Xiao Tiantian immediately leaned closer.

Strong vs. Strong...
