Chapter 114 Cuihua's Stepmother Reaches Consensus

Before Cuihua could finish speaking, the aunties and grandmothers of the Tang family stopped talking.

"What are you saying? You're talking nonsense! When has your father ever worked for our family? Explain yourself clearly."

Tang Cuihua glanced disdainfully at the Tang family members and walked straight past them toward Zhang Yanhong.

"Logically, I should call you 'Auntie,' but I can't bring myself to do it. You won't be upset with me, will you?"

Zhang Yanhong was sizing up Tang Cuihua. Hearing that she had offended everyone else in the Tang family as soon as she arrived, she couldn't help but think that this girl had a fierce temper and thought that she would cause trouble for her. However, she also sensed that there was room for maneuver in Tang Cuihua's words, so she took the opportunity to continue the conversation.

"How could that be? It's normal that you can't call out. Look how hot it is today, why don't you go back to your dad's place for a while?"

Tang Cuihua was not surprised that Zhang Yanhong was so smart. If she were stupid, how could she have kept her father so obedient?

Anyway, her mother just didn't have that ability.

If Cao Amei had the ability to manage Tang Youtian, the family wouldn't have ended up in this mess.

"Great! I've been wanting to see how my dad's doing these days. Isn't he home?"

As she spoke, she followed Zhang Yanhong away, completely ignoring the Tang family members behind her. By the time the Tang family matriarch reacted, Tang Cuihua had already turned the corner with Zhang Yanhong. The old lady was so angry that she not only cursed Tang Cuihua's name but also included Cao Amei, who had already married, in her curses.

Such a difficult person didn't dare to challenge Zhang Yanhong, which shows that Zhang Yanhong is quite skilled at winning people over.

Following Zhang Yanhong back to her former home, the place was now as tidy as it had been when she left. It was clear that the couple had put a lot of effort into renovating the house. The yard was lush and green, filled with vegetables. Many of the old furniture pieces in the house were gone, replaced with the latest and most fashionable styles. It was evident that Zhang Yanhong was sincere in wanting to live with Tang Youtian.

"Your father hasn't come back from working in the fields yet, why don't you stay for lunch?"

Tang Cuihua reached out and poked her younger brother's cheek, replying without looking up.

“I didn’t come back to see him. It’s good that he’s not home. You’ve been feeding this kid well. It’s a pity he’s not my father’s son, otherwise I could have spoiled him more.”

Zhang Yanhong was smiling and talking to Tang Cuihua, but her face turned ugly instantly upon hearing this. Before she could speak, Tang Cuihua said something else.

"Don't rush to deny it. Since I dare to say this, I naturally have evidence. But don't worry, if I wanted to cause trouble, you wouldn't have married him. I have no father-daughter relationship with him anymore, and I don't want to get involved in the mess of the Tang family. I have no intention of disturbing the peace of your little family. I'm here just to ask you for a favor."

These words calmed Zhang Yanhong down. She forced herself to calm down and then asked.

"What are you asking me to do?"

“It’s simple. Get the household registration book from my father and move the three of us sisters’ household registration out. Although we’ll still be in this village, we’ll stay far away from you. I just don’t want anyone to interfere with our marriages, and I don’t want to have any contact with him. I think you don’t want to see the three of us sisters either, right? As long as he agrees to sever ties with us and let us move our household registration, you can live the life you want for the rest of your life.”

Zhang Yanhong suddenly found it somewhat ridiculous, "Judging from your tone, if I didn't help you, you were planning to report me?"

Tang Cuihua casually remarked, "This child's biological father is called Ma Laosan, a married man, and his wife is quite a shrew, hmm?"

Zhang Yanhong choked, her expression towards Tang Cuihua filled with indescribable gritted teeth.

"I didn't realize you were so well-prepared before you dared to come back."

"Thank you for the compliment. How could I dare to come back without being fully prepared? With my manipulative grandparents and my greedy aunt and uncle, I really wouldn't dare to come home so openly. But now that you're here, things are different. My dad listens to you, and I believe that if you mediate a bit, everyone will be at peace. What do you say? Oh, by the way, don't worry, we don't want your land. We just need to transfer our household registration to the house we bought."

Does Zhang Yanhong still have a choice?

She didn't.

So she pursed her lips.

When are you going to transfer your household registration?

"First thing tomorrow morning?"

"become."

As Tang Cuihua walked out of Tang Youtian's house, she paused slightly and turned to look at the house where she had lived for many years.

The house was built by their parents when they were young. Although their grandparents were still alive and the family didn't separate, the family grew up and branched out. Several uncles were shrewd and calculating, and there was also a cunning younger uncle who tried to sabotage things. The four branches were wary of each other, afraid that one of them would take advantage of the other. In particular, their family didn't have a son yet, so they were the first to be kicked out of the old house. Although it was called a separation of the family, they actually got almost nothing.

Back then, my parents were still quite united and not so lazy. They managed to put in a lot of effort and barely managed to build the house.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, the house changed hands, and the sisters were leaving the house forever.

In the instant she turned her head, the last bit of lingering affection in her heart was completely dispelled by her conversation with Zhang Yanhong. From now on, the sisters and this family would have no further connection.

Back at the village chief's house, Tang Cuihua asked him if it was feasible to return the next morning to pick up the household registration booklet and transfer the property.

The village chief took a puff of his pipe, exhaled a smoke ring, and calmly nodded.

“That works. I’ll talk to the village officials about it this afternoon. The house won’t cost more than fifty yuan. Go home and prepare. Once you have the money, your father’s handwritten relocation permit, and the village’s certificate, you can go to the township to complete the household registration procedures directly.”

Actually, this matter is not difficult to handle. The only difficulty is Tang Cuihua's status as an unmarried woman. But now that her mother has remarried and her father has remarried, everyone knows that life will not be easy if things continue like this. There is human sentiment in addition to the law. As long as the situation is explained and sympathy is gained, it can naturally be done.

If Tang Cuihua were more tactful and offered some gifts, the matter would be even simpler.

On the way back, Tao Changyi asked Tang Cuihua how she did it, and was taken aback when he learned that she had directly threatened her stepmother.

Cuihua, however, felt no psychological burden whatsoever.

"Since she's already completely broken ties with the Tang family, if she has the guts to do it, why is she afraid of being threatened with this?"

Undoubtedly, Zhang Yanhong was a bold woman. Not only did she let Ma Laosan know about the child's existence, but she also asked Ma Laosan for money from time to time. Otherwise, with Tang Youtian's meager assets, it would be strange if he could support the mother and child.

As luck would have it, Cuihua knew this because she had seen Zhang Yanhong and her father together in town, and later she saw Zhang Yanhong and Ma Laosan near the county hospital. This matter couldn't stand up to scrutiny; once investigated, it would be confirmed. There were also some hints in her dream. Over time, all the clues were connected.

Do you think she would let such a good opportunity slip by?
