Chapter 194 Tang Jiabao

Upon hearing this, the village chief's expression immediately changed. He quickly pulled Cuihua aside and asked...

"Tell me honestly, why did the township head go to your house?"

Cuihua naturally couldn't tell him the truth. "I can only tell you that they came with great goodwill."

The fact that Zhao Xiaobo's father is the township head is something that her fifth sister and the principal wouldn't have known if it weren't for this incident. This shows that they are a very low-profile family. How many people in the school would know about this? Unless they are from the village, the possibility of it spreading is extremely small.

Since it's impossible for outsiders to know, why would she be foolish enough to tell the village chief the truth?

But her words were enough: "Fine, for what you said, I'll take care of this trouble for you today. Don't mention me again if you get any benefits in the future."

Tang Cuihua laughed directly: "That's right, without the bond of mutual benefit, what can last? Don't worry, we certainly won't forget you when there are benefits!"

"Go back, you don't need to worry about the rest."

With a wave of her hand, the village chief sent Cuihua happily leading her sisters home. The moment the door slammed shut, the Tang family's faces turned green, and Old Mrs. Tang's eyes could have killed someone.

“Auntie, go back, don’t embarrass yourself here. And Brother Jin, you’re almost a grandfather, how can you do this to bully your niece? If word gets out, how will your son and daughter find partners? Youyin, no matter how Cuihua treats you, your attitude towards her is quite something, isn’t it? Everyone in the village knows about your family’s affairs. In the end, did you drive Cao Shi out or sell her? Can you explain that clearly? Youtian, don’t hide there either. You’re a really useless father. This is your daughter, isn’t she?”

"It's one thing if you don't care about them, but how can you let your brother bully them? They're all motherless children, yet they were so sensible as to go and find their sisters. Now they're living their own lives behind closed doors. If you're not going to help them, fine, but why do you keep picking on them every day? If you all act like this, don't blame me for being ruthless when we hold a big meeting in the future. I'll make an example of your family and see who can stand it then!"

"Hey, village chief, you can't say that. What do you mean by bullying? When did we bully her? Look at how arrogant they are. Do you think we could bully them?"

Tang Youjin's wife was displeased. She went up and twisted her round, millstone-like waist around. The village chief only glanced at her before giving Tang Youjin a cold snort.

"When choosing a wife, one should choose a virtuous one. If your sister-in-law and aunt are like this, it's no wonder that your family hasn't produced a single decent-looking child. They've all been raised to be corrupt. The only ones who seem decent and capable are from your daughters who have separated from you. Tang Youjin, as the eldest brother, if you don't pay attention, your family is finished. Don't blame me for being harsh; go home and think about it carefully!"

The village chief snorted coldly and turned away without even glancing at Tang Youjin's wife, whose face had changed, or at the old lady of the Tang family who had been glancing at him with her triangular eyes.

After the village chief left, the onlookers began to whisper among themselves, especially commenting on the children of the Tang family. In the end, they found that it was just as the village chief had said; not one of the children looked upright, and they all inherited the meanness, scheming and ruthlessness of their parents.

Especially the eldest granddaughter, with her triangular eyes that look like she's looking at everyone with displeasure, is just like the old lady of the Tang family. No wonder they've looked for so many families, but no one has chosen her.

They either think she's not pretty enough or that her mother's dowry is too high. Now she's twenty-four and still hasn't found a husband, making her a veritable old maid. The worst part is that she thinks she's still beautiful and is still being picky. If this continues, it's no wonder she'll never get married.

Tang Youtian was humiliated by the village chief and returned home with a red face. He sat in front of the kitchen in a daze without saying a word. He wanted to roll a cigarette, but when he stood up, he realized that he was out of tobacco. Just then, his wife came over with their child who had just woken up. Seeing him like this, she knew without a doubt that he had been humiliated by their daughter again.

Tang Cuihua knew her secret, and she was grateful that she had never thought of exposing her. So over the years, she had never interfered in the affairs between the father and daughter. She just wanted to live a good life with her son. Tang Youtian had also treated her well over the years. As long as they could make a living, she didn't mind spending her whole life with her.

But she also had her own ulterior motives. As long as Tang Youtian relied on her and her son and cut off ties with the other side, her future would be secure. What if one day he got close to her daughter and ignored them?

So when she saw this, she pretended not to know anything and said, "You're back. Come and watch over Xiaohui. I need to tidy up and cook."

Tang Youtian seemed to have something difficult to say, looking at Zhang Yanhong as if he wanted to speak but hesitated: "What's wrong?"

If Zhang Yanhong hadn't asked him, he probably would have suffocated himself.

"I really didn't expect that Cuihua girl would have such abilities. She actually knows the township head. Township head, look at my brother's anxious face. He can't wait to tie this relationship to himself. No wonder they were in such a hurry to drag me over."

Zhang Yanhong scoffed upon hearing this, "So what did you go there for? You probably got scolded by your own daughter again, right? I told you long ago not to get too close to your brothers. Look at what they're all scheming for. What chance do you have? Your mother doesn't care about you. She only dotes on her eldest and youngest sons. Even the second son has more influence than you. You're the one with the least presence. What can you show off by going around to them? You have no brains and no skills. They'll only bother to talk to you when you're useful!"

"Did you miss the point? Cuihua and the others know the township head, and he even came to their house to give them gifts!"

Seeing Tang Youtian's excited expression, Zhang Yanhong ruthlessly poured water on him.

"So what? Does it concern you? Did you gain anything? No, right? Did you come back red-faced and humiliated? I'm telling you, You Tian, ​​your relationship with your daughter is unlikely to improve anytime soon. Stop trying to make things difficult for them, especially since you've been manipulated and instigated by the people from the old house. Your daughter doesn't like you. What are you trying to gain? You live in the same village now. Have they ever visited you? Or even spoken to you? Isn't their attitude obvious enough?"

Tang Youtian's mood gradually calmed down with Zhang Yanhong's help, and his hands holding the child inexplicably tightened.

"Tang Cuihua is really stubborn. Most girls wouldn't hold a grudge against their father like that. I'm still her father, and she doesn't even come to see me during holidays. She's really something!"

"You could walk down the street and pretend you don't see them. They say daughters hold grudges, but do you hold grudges yourself? They say she's steadfast, but look at your own heart. Old Tang, I'm a daughter too, and I can understand her quite well. A person in their twenties who doesn't get married, starts their own household, and supports so many younger sisters with their own hands—she's amazing. At least she did things I couldn't do. Don't be too harsh on her. After all, you're not a good father, so you have no right to demand that she be a good daughter!"

Tang Youtian looked up at Zhang Yanhong in surprise, "I didn't realize you would speak up for her."

"I'm not speaking up for her, I'm just empathizing with her. Besides, ask yourself honestly, are you a qualified father?"

Tang Youtian blushed and didn't dare to reply. Zhang Yanhong snorted coldly.

"Then why are you getting involved? Stay away from these kinds of things in the future. If you don't show your face in front of your daughter, she might even have a good impression of you!"

Tang Youtian sighed, took the hand of three-year-old Xiaohui, and went into the main room to play games.

Zhang Yanhong glanced back, shook her head slightly, and thought, "That's it. I'll just close the door and live my own life. Whether it's good or bad, that's it. It's better than having people gossip about me behind my back."

However, the shamelessness of the Tang family far exceeded Cuihua and her friends' expectations. Unable to find a way out here, they actually took gifts and went directly to the township head the next day. Fortunately, Tang Cuihua had given them a heads-up. As soon as the head of the township heard that they were Tang Cuihua's uncles, he didn't even bother to see them. He even ordered his men to drive them away.

As a result, this group of people actually waited until the person rode their bicycle home from work and then blocked them on the road.

Such shamelessness truly opened Zhao Cunzhang's eyes. He didn't even bother to say a word to them and simply ordered the security team to remove them.

"Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll call the police. What kind of manners do you have? You didn't even say you don't know them or want to associate with them. How can this go on and on?"

No wonder the Tang sisters re-established their household; if it weren't for the difficulty in changing surnames, they probably would have changed their surnames as well.

It's disgusting to be related to such a family of scoundrels.

Tang Youjin was furious that he hadn't even met the township head and had been kicked out. The reason he was so eager to get involved was because his eldest son had committed a crime. The matter hadn't been exposed yet because the family was too cowardly to report it, fearing it would damage their daughter's reputation. He had been trying his best to arrange the marriage, but the woman would rather remain single for life than marry his son. This made him feel that the matter was a ticking time bomb. Only by marrying him into the family could they be safe and secure. Otherwise, if the matter were exposed one day, the whole family would suffer.

Thinking of this, he slapped his son across the face.

"You beast, this is all your doing! Look at what I've done for you!"

Tang Jiabao, who was covering his face, was the eldest son and grandson of the Tang family. He was pampered by Li Shi and the old lady since he was a child, which made him a good-for-nothing.

He dared to do it but not to admit it. Even when he was beaten, he only dared to cover his face and not utter a sound. But in his eyes, which were lowered, there was a layer of venom that even Tang Youjin could not see.
