Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Little Tricks (Five Updates)

"Late at night, when Xiao Yue comes back, I’m worried, plus, she goes to school really early." Tang Zhengde also spoke, saying, "Xiao Xian living at the school would be even more convenient, not having to travel so far every day."

"Second brother, Mingli, do you just not want Xiao Xian to live here?" Wang Aihua immediately changed her expression and said, "Talking about brotherhood, even neighbors are closer than you."

"Mom, I also want to live here," Tang Min said with a face full of envy.

Wang Aihua scolded, "Live what? Can’t you see your two uncles aren’t willing? Don’t they just look down on us because we have no money?"

"Your two uncles have money now, and they’ve forgotten how your dad helped them in the past."

Wang Aihua said this accusingly.

"Big sister-in-law, I’m really thinking of Xiao Xian’s best." Tang Mingli was unwilling to let this comment slide and immediately retorted, "Here, we are all busy, what if we fail to make a meal for Xiao Xian someday? Would you say that I, as his uncle, want to starve Xiao Xian?"

"If you won’t let me stay, so be it," Tang Xian said coolly, flipping his long hair to the front and immediately sat down on a bench.

Seeing that an argument was about to start again, Granny Tang said, "Alright, stop arguing. The house isn’t ready yet, where do you expect to live? Aihua, we are all family. Zhengyuan’s leg treatment, the medical bills were paid by Zhengde and Mingli, have you forgotten that already?"

"Aihua, hold your tongue," Tang Zhengyuan scolded, stepping forward and said, "Mom, I haven’t forgotten. It’s just that she has long hair but short insight."

"Uncle, my hair is long, but why did I score first in my grade?" Tang Yue said softly.

Long hair, short insight, what kind of outdated thinking is that? Many women are smarter than men.

Short hair doesn’t necessarily mean smart, long hair doesn’t necessarily mean lack of insight.

Tang Zhengyuan’s face turned awkward, and he changed his words, "Xiao Yue, your uncle didn’t study much, doesn’t understand much, but I’ve remembered their help deep in my heart."

Wang Aihua had just played the tough role, and Tang Zhengyuan started playing the sympathetic one, no, more accurately, he started presenting his woes.

"Zhengde, Mingli, my leg, I can’t do heavy work, you’ve been in the county for half a year, is there any good job that can let me, as the oldest brother, make some money?" Tang Zhengyuan said, making it hard for them to refuse.

If they really refused, Tang Zhengde and Tang Mingli might lose their reputation in the village.

Granny Tang also said, "That’s right, Zhengde, Mingli, think about it, let Zhengyuan do something, earn some money. How can a grown man not earn money to support his family?"

"Mom, don’t worry, these days I’ve been on the lookout. If there really is something suitable, I’ll tell big brother," Tang Mingli said politely. If big brother really wanted to find a job, it wouldn’t be right as his young brother not to help.

Lunch was at Tang Zhengde’s shop, with Zhang Hualian buying groceries. Tang Zhengde and another person were busy for an hour before they managed to cook a few dishes, Tang Yue also helped with washing and cutting vegetables.

Tang Mingli’s shop didn’t even have time to open.

Wang Aihua was always thinking about how to make some money, gain some advantages, finally trying to influence Granny Tang.

Granny Tang, having lived till this age, knew everything. She dismissed it with just one sentence: "Aihua, they have agreed to Zheng Yuan’s matters, they will naturally help find a job that is easy but still workable for him, don’t worry."

"Mom, isn’t it just that I see everyone buying houses now, and I also get envious," Wang Aihua said with a smile, "Mom, talking about the current household registration, how hard is it to change to an urban one? How about we also transfer Xiao Xian’s and Xiao Min’s registrations?"

"Is that...possible?" Granny Tang, as the head of the family, naturally also considered the larger family issues.

"Why can’t we? Just move the household registration out. Think about it, Xiao Xian and Xiao Min will also become city residents," Wang Aihua felt uneasy not taking some advantage.

Granny Tang thought for a moment, then mentioned it. Tang Zhengde was still hesitant, while Tang Mingli was more direct, saying, "Mom, it’s not that I don’t want to, but non-direct descendants can’t transfer it."

"Then, let’s write the house under our names, wouldn’t we be able to transfer it to Xiao Xian and Xiao Min? Besides, the house would still be yours," Wang Aihua chimed in.

’Pfft’

The sip of water Tang Yue was drinking instantly came spurting out, landing on Wang Aihua’s feet.

Wang Aihua felt the scald, and immediately glared at her saying, "Xiao Yue, you’re an adult, how can you still spit out water?"

Wang Aihua wiped her feet with a look of disgust.

Tang Yue said gloomily, "Auntie, do you genuinely not know, or are you pretending? Whose name is on the house, that’s who owns it. My uncle might not have children now, but what about in the future when he marries little aunt? Won’t they have children?"

"I... had no idea about this?" Wang Aihua was only thinking about transferring the kids to a city household registration and hadn’t thought this far.

Nowadays, everyone takes pride in having a city household registration.

"Since that’s the case, then forget it. Mingli, you should get married soon and let mom have grandchildren early," Granny Tang still supported Tang Mingli greatly on this matter.

...

"Second brother, how would mom and the others know?" Tang Mingli sighed in relief, feeling even more exhausted than if he had sold clothes all day long, especially his sister-in-law whose eyes full of schemes, looks as if she wanted to strip your house bare and take everything to hers.

"It might be... Zheng Yue spread it," Tang Zhengde belatedly realized.

After finding out, Tang Mingli couldn’t help saying, "Second brother, once brother-in-law knows, fourth sister will know; and if she knows, mom will know too."

"Second brother, be sure not to agree easily to sister-in-law; we bought the house, and it’s only right we take care of mom in the future, but as for older brother and sister-in-law, we can only do our best," Tang Mingli warned clearly on this point.

A temporary save does not cure poverty.

He was worried about his older brother’s leg before, but now, if Wang Aihua is thinking about covertly borrowing money again, he has not a dime to spare.

"What about, older brother’s work..." Tang Zhengde was somewhat worried, it wasn’t right for his big brother to just sit idly.

Tang Mingli reassured, "Don’t worry, leave it to me. I have many friends, I can definitely find a job for big brother."

"Mom, little uncle’s right, don’t take what auntie says to heart, especially regarding borrowing money, just say you don’t have it," Tang Yue also reminded, supporting Granny Tang is natural and right, but supporting her uncle and aunt? Better to forget it.

If it were a good situation, it wouldn’t matter, but with an uncle and aunt like this, she preferred to keep her distance.

No one’s money is blown in by the wind, it’s true our family has made quite a bit of money now, but it’s all hard-earned by mom and dad, why should it go to Tang Zhengyuan and Wang Aihua?

"I understand," Zhang Hualian was also quite displeased with Wang Aihua’s actions today.
