Chapter 106: The Zhuang Family's Mission Completed, Something the Young Man Was Unaware Of
Mr. Zhuang was embarrassed by his son's retort and his face turned red: "Chaoying, your brother said you had a bonus and asked you to take some out to buy a TV for me and your mother. What's wrong with that? Why are you being so petty with your own parents?"
Looking at her husband, Mrs. Zhuang thought to herself, "Chao Ying is determined to abandon them. Why can't you see it? Aren't you just making a fool of yourself?"
She didn't want to invite trouble, so she remained silent and let the old man and Chao Ying continue arguing.
Zhuang Chaoying nodded: "Dad, what you said is very good, I applaud you! You're so self-righteous about being biased, well done. Here's what we'll do, give me back the money I gave you before."
I'm short on money right now, and my family wants to buy a TV. I borrowed money from my neighbors to buy the refrigerator. Since you sent me here, please help me out. Mom and Dad, I'm your son too. It's not unreasonable for you to give your eldest son some money to buy a TV, is it?
After hearing what her eldest son said, Zhuang's mother pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "Just wait and see, the eldest son is waiting for you here."
She sat in the chair without saying a word, and her father nudged her with his hand: "Say something, will you?"
Mrs. Zhuang turned her head away, saying irritably, "You're the one who sent the eldest son!"
Zhuang's father was so angry that he pursed his lips and roared with a flushed face, "Fine, boss, I don't have any money. Get out of here, get out, and don't come back again. I'm a man of my word. I only have one son. Get out of here, you bastard."
Zhuang Chaoying slowly stood up: "Dad, you're getting old, you should watch your mouth. Save some good fortune for your only son. If I'm a bastard, what are you?"
Zhuang Chaoying strode to her feet; today was another "workday" for arguing.
As he reached the door, he turned around and shouted loudly, "Dad, I've made a mistake coming to see you. I won't say anything about your pensions subsidizing the US, but you want my salary to subsidize them? You're driving me to the brink!"
After saying that, he walked out of the house without looking back.
Zhuang Chaoying walked out of the alley, a slight smile playing on her lips; she almost burst out laughing.
He didn't care what the neighbors would say about Zhuang's parents behind their backs; anyway, he lived far away, so those gossips wouldn't reach his ears.
At that moment, he felt incredibly happy.
[Ding, the task of managing the farm has been completed.]
[A reward/moral blackmail card will be given to the user, granting them invincibility and a moral high ground. Use with caution. Effective for one hour.]
Yeah, even though it's only one chance, that's enough.
In real life, there are more good people than bad; oddballs are just a minority.

It's spring again.
The willow trees along the street were covered with leaves.
Tu Nan will be taking the college entrance examination in two months.
Zhuang Chaoying wasn't worried. He believed in his son's abilities. Based on the grades Tu Nanping had shown, he could easily choose any university.
Although her son is doing so well in his studies, Huang Ling is still worried about Tu Nan's college entrance examination.
Huang Ling had just woken up when she put on her clothes, slipped on her slippers, and headed to the door to pick up the milk she had ordered.
He took the key, unlocked the small wooden box, took out three bottles of milk, and then locked it again.
The milk box key is shared between the milk station and her, to prevent milk from being mistakenly taken or lost by others.
"Song Ying, the fresh milk is here!"
Song Ying came out of the house, her face still showing the languor of someone who had just woken up: "You're here, Sister Ling. I feel like my face has become much softer lately because I've been drinking half milk every day and then using the other half to wash my face. Sister Ling, feel it."
As she spoke, she moved closer to Huang Ling.
Huang Ling placed the milk on the table in the yard and gently touched Song Ying's face: "Really, Song Ying, it seems to be much smoother now!"
Song Ying also reached out and touched Huang Ling's face: "Sister Ling, I remember you and Wu Feng are about the same age, both born in 1944. Your skin looks like you're not even thirty. Aren't you going to be so envious of me?"
Huang Ling smiled, a beautiful curve forming at the corners of her mouth: "We're both equally bad, Song Ying, you're right, women should treat themselves better."
Then, as if she had thought of something interesting, she leaned close to Song Ying's ear and said mysteriously, "Ever since my complexion improved, Chao Ying has been very clingy to me, and she's even started exercising in her spare time."
Song Ying covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "Sister Ling, who says otherwise? I was wondering why Wu Feng has started exercising so much. Do you think they conspired together? His stomach used to be one big piece, but now it's got some angles."
Huang Ling lowered her voice: "That's great, Song Ying, you can feast your eyes."
The two women shared their little secrets and happiness in the yard. After gossiping, they each took their milk and went home.
When Huang Ling got home, she carefully put the milk in the refrigerator, thinking of saving it for her two children to drink before bedtime.
After finishing their meal, Tu Nan, Xiao Ting, and Dong Zhe went to school as usual.
Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling also got ready and went to work together. A new day began in this ordinary yet heartwarming routine.
Since receiving tutoring from Zhuang Chaoying, Lin Dongzhe's grades have improved significantly, and Xiaoting is always watching over him while he does his homework.
He was lucky enough to be assigned to the same class as Xiaoting during this class reshuffle.
This secretly pleased him, and he looked forward to studying and chatting with Xiaoting every day.
As soon as the bell rang, the classroom became lively.
Lin Dongzhe quickly turned around and discussed the TV series "Chen Zhen" that was currently airing with the female classmate in the back seat: "Have you watched Chen Zhen? The fight scenes in it are so exciting. Chen Zhen is always incredibly powerful. He fights against those bad guys with wit and courage for his master and the country."
He gestured wildly as he spoke.
The girl in the back row pouted, looking somewhat helpless: "I don't have time to watch TV. When I get home, it's all about homework. My parents are watching me closely. I haven't watched TV in ages."
Lin Dongzhe was talking animatedly next to Xiaoting, completely unaware that Xiaoting's expression was becoming increasingly unpleasant.
Zhuang Xiaoting was reading a book when Lin Dongzhe's chattering voice annoyed her and made her inexplicably irritable.
She didn't understand why she was so upset, but seeing Lin Dongzhe chatting so happily with the female classmate in the back row, with laughter constantly reaching her ears, made her furious.
Zhuang Xiaoting suddenly raised her head, glaring at Lin Dongzhe with a hint of anger in her eyes. "Lin Dongzhe, didn't you say you had a question you didn't understand? Do you need me to explain it to you?"
Lin Dongzhe was startled by the sudden sound. He turned around, looked at Xiaoting, and felt a little flustered.
He looked at Xiaoting's profile; the sunlight shone on her face, making even the fine hairs on her skin clearly visible. For a moment, he was lost in thought: "Xiaoting, get out of class is over!"
Zhuang Xiaoting glared at him fiercely. "I can only explain it to you after class. You have to listen to the teacher during class!"
"You're still glaring at me? Don't think I'm afraid of you, Xiaoting."
Although Lin Dongzhe said that, he still shrank back a little guiltily. Looking at Xiaoting's angry face, he regretted his earlier commotion.
Xiaoting turned her head away, not wanting to talk to him anymore, but her mind was in complete turmoil.
She didn't understand why she cared so much about Lin Dongzhe chatting with other girls; this unfamiliar feeling left her somewhat at a loss.
Lin Dongzhe quickly waved to the girl in the back row, took his test paper, and carefully approached her: "Xiaoting, I'm afraid of you, can you explain the questions to me?"
His eyes held a hint of apology and ingratiation, and there was something different about his gaze towards Xiaoting, though neither of them noticed it at the moment.
