Chapter 1111 Who did this?
Zhuang Tunan frowned subconsciously: "Dad, just say whatever you want to say."
Zhuang Chaoying's face darkened when he heard this, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "It's like this. Last time I went to the Education Bureau for a meeting, I met a leader from Soochow University. I told him about your situation, and he was very interested in you. It just so happens that he is free these two days, so I'll take you to visit him at his home and talk to him in person. When you graduate, you can go to Soochow University as a teaching assistant."
Zhuang Xiaoting came to the inner room to add tea for Zhuang Chaoying. Seeing Huang Ling standing motionless behind the door, she asked curiously, "Mom, you..."
Huang Ling winked at her, signaling her not to speak.
Seeing Huang Ling's face was very ugly, Zhuang Xiaoting asked doubtfully: "Mom, I heard from my brother that the number of teaching assistants in universities is very scarce. If my brother can enter Soochow University, you should be happy."
"Xiaoting, you are still young. You can't just look at the surface of things. If your brother is assigned to work in another place and can't come back to Suzhou several times a year, can your grandparents still count on him?"
Huang Ling’s words shocked Zhuang Xiaoting so much that she didn’t know what to say for a moment.
In the courtyard, Zhuang Tunan suddenly sneered, "Dad, was it your idea to arrange a job for me? Or was it grandpa and grandma's idea?"
Zhuang Chaoying's face suddenly changed: "Tunan, how can you think of Dad like this? I am doing this entirely for your consideration."
"Is it really just for my sake?"
Zhuang Tunan said coldly, "Dad, if I'm not mistaken, my grandparents think that the Zhuang family finally has a college student. If he is assigned a job far away from home, it will be cheap for other families in the future. So they asked you to find a job for me in Suzhou. In this way, if they have a headache or a fever, they can let me take care of them with a legitimate reason."
"Oh, by the way, there should be another idea from Second Aunt. When I get married in the future, if grandma gets sick, she won't have to take care of her anymore."
"Tuanan, you have a misunderstanding about your grandparents..." Zhuang Chaoying said this, but his tone was a little unnatural.
Zhuang Tunan said noncommittally: "Dad, it's you who misunderstood them, not me."
"Dad, please go back and tell them that I will disappoint them again. I will not be an assistant professor at Suzhou University."
Zhuang Chaoying advised earnestly: "Tunan, don't act on impulse. The position of assistant teacher at Soochow University is very valuable. Dad also spent a lot of effort to get them to agree to an interview with you..."
"Dad, I plan to continue my graduate studies, so no matter if it's a misunderstanding or something, I can only let you down."
Zhuang Chaoying still believes that Zhuang Tunan is unwilling to be a teaching assistant at Soochow University because of a "misunderstanding" and continues to persuade him.
Huang Ling couldn't bear it any longer and rushed out the door.
"I was told about Tunan's postgraduate entrance exam when he came back. Don't bother about it. Zhuang Chaoying, go back and tell your parents to give up on this idea and stop targeting Tunan and Xiaoting. Even if I die, I will never let them be like you, contributing to the Zhuang family all your life and being sucked dry by them!"
Zhuang Chaoying was instantly furious: "Huang Ling, how can you say that about their grandparents in front of the children? You are the one who made the children what they are today."
Zhuang Xiaoting, who had always been weak, suddenly rushed to Huang Ling and protected her behind her: "Dad, you go."
"You asked me to leave? Xiaoting, you are my daughter too, how can you be so unfilial?" Zhuang Chaoying stared at his daughter in disbelief.
Zhuang Tunan stretched out his hand to stop Zhuang Chaoying and said, "Dad, please go. The Zhuang family is your home. You don't have a place for us in your heart. There is only one person in this world who is qualified to accuse us of being unfilial. It's a pity that person is not you."
Zhuang Chaoying's face, which had turned red due to anger, turned pale in an instant. His son's words: "It's a pity that person is not you" completely shattered his extravagant hopes.
"Why? Why can't you understand me?"
Zhuang Chaoying beat his chest and stamped his feet, completely different from his usual gentle image, and cried until he was hoarse.
Just when Zhuang Xiaoting felt a little bit reluctant, she heard a sarcastic voice coming from the Lin family.
"Understand? Sorry, Mr. Zhuang, as a normal person, it is difficult for me to understand you. The Zhuang family not only has two working parents, but also two pensions. No matter what, they live better than you, and yet they want you to hand over your salary to support them."
"Teacher Zhuang, do you think this makes you look great? Is it true that every time you go home, your parents will praise you for being filial to the neighbors, and then you completely lose yourself in these praises?"
"But have you ever thought about whether your wife and children can have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear when you generously hand over your salary?"
"I remember Aunt Huang said that before Tuanan was born, you had to hand over your salary in full. That means it was Aunt Huang who used her own salary to support you during that period. It wasn't until Tuanan was born that the family ran out of food, and you took back half of your salary. It's really rare to find a man like you who lives off others for free."
"Living off a woman" was definitely the dirtiest insult to a man in the 80s. Zhuang Chaoying felt like he was slapped hard in the face and his head was buzzing.
When he came to his senses, he immediately rushed towards the Lin family, like a madman.
"It's you again. What's the point of hiding behind? If you have the guts, get out of here..."
Qin Hao sneered and walked out with his arms folded: "What? You got angry because I hit you right in the heart. As a teacher, you can't stop talking, so you should resort to violence?"
Zhuang Chaoying gnashed his teeth and yelled, "I've been teaching for my whole life, and I've never seen you so disrespectful to your elders. Today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your deceased parents..."
“Dad, don’t…”
"Haozi, you go in first..."
Before Zhuang Xiaoting and Zhuang Tunan could react, Zhuang Chaoying had already rushed to Qin Hao with his fist raised. However, Qin Hao seemed not to see anything and did not move. The two of them were so anxious that they chased him and shouted.
Huang Ling also screamed: "Zhuang Chaoying, stop it!"
With hatred in his heart, Zhuang Chaoying concentrated all his strength on this punch. He no longer cared what his son and daughter thought. Now he just wanted to vent his anger.
However, a slap suddenly appeared in front of him, and the next second, a sharp pain came from his face.
"Crack~~~"
A clear and loud sound exploded above the courtyard, followed by the thud of Zhuang Chaoying falling to the ground.
"dad……"
"Dad~~~"
There was blood oozing from the corner of Zhuang Chaoying's mouth, and his clothes were covered in dust from rolling on the ground several times. He looked in a miserable state, but compared to the physical pain, the psychological pain was even more excruciating.
All disguises were torn off in front of his son and daughter, revealing his ugly side.
In a rage, he tried to save face with violence, but ended up being slapped back. For Zhuang Chaoying, this was a great humiliation, even more so than when his grandmother Zhuang took him from house to house to borrow tuition and food.
Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting were also stunned, their running feet hung in mid-air, and their whole bodies seemed to be frozen.
Zhuang Chaoying struggled to get up from the ground and rushed out of the yard in a panic.
It was only after he ran a long way away that Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting reacted.
"You see, I was just defending myself."
Qin Hao spread out his hands with an innocent look on his face. In fact, he had already shown mercy. If he had been more ruthless, half of Zhuang Chaoying's teeth would have been knocked out.
Zhuang Tunan said angrily: "I'm sorry, Haozi, my dad..."
"Brother Hao, is my dad going to be okay?" Zhuang Xiaoting asked with some concern. She had seen Qin Hao beat up several little hooligans alone.
"Don't worry, it's just a superficial wound. It will heal in a few days. It just looks messy."
Huang Ling's mouth twitched, but she didn't laugh out loud in the end. After all, Zhuang Chaoying was the father of two children. But she had to say that Qin Hao's slap just now was so satisfying. She had wanted to do this for a long time.
At the same time, Zhuang Chaoying returned to the banker's house in a mess.
Seeing this, Master Zhuang was furious: "Chaoying, who did this?"
Grandma Zhuang asked in confusion: "Didn't you go to Tunan's place? Why were you beaten? Were you robbed? Did you go to the police station?"
Zhuang Chaoying covered half of his face, feeling extremely ashamed and angry, and refused to say a word. But the more he did so, the more Grandpa and Grandma Zhuang asked him questions.
There was really no other way, Zhuang Chaoying could only explain the situation again.
When Grandpa and Grandma Zhuang heard that it was Qin Hao who ruined their plans again, they were so angry that they jumped up and down on the spot.
"This kid named Qin is always making things difficult for our family. This is intolerable. Hurry up and get a few people to beat that kid up so that your brother can vent his anger!"
Zhuang Ganmei also gnashed her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go get some help right away. I don't believe I can't take care of this little boy."
Seeing this, Zhuang Chaoying quickly shouted, "You can't go."
Seeing him blocking his way, Master Zhuang was immediately furious: "You useless bastard, you dare not fight back after being beaten. We in the Zhuang family don't have a coward like you!"
"Dad, if you hurt him, he will go to the police station to report it." Zhuang Chaoying covered his cheek anxiously.
Zhuang Ganmei shrank her neck and said, "Dad."
Mr. Zhuang glared at his two sons for a while and said, "Why did I give birth to two cowards like you? That kid hit someone first. If he dared to call the police, the police can't just follow his orders, right?"
Zhuang Chaoying was silent for a long time, then said in a muffled voice: "He is a Go champion. If he calls the police, we will definitely suffer."
As a teacher, what he likes to watch most is not Hong Kong TV dramas, but various news, so he knows a little bit about Qin Hao's influence. He is not surprised to hear that Qin Hao knows the senior leaders who have won the China-Japan Arena Championship for two consecutive years.
If he hadn't been so angry that he completely lost his mind, he wouldn't have dared to touch Qin Hao. Now he felt a little scared when he thought about it.
"Oh, why is my life so miserable? I raised my eldest grandson with great difficulty. He is about to graduate, but now he doesn't even come to see me." Grandma Zhuang beat her chest and cried.
Master Zhuang said with a dark face: "Why are you howling? If someone doesn't know, they would think I'm dead."
Grandma Zhuang wiped her tears and sobbed, "So what do you say we should do now? Tunan and Xiaoting have been bewitched by Huang Ling and that kid surnamed Qin and are so unwilling to even enter our house. Can we still count on him to be filial to us and take care of Zhendong and Zhenbei in the future?"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room fell to freezing point, with only a few people sighing.
After a long while, Mr. Zhuang suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Chaoying, starting from next month, you will send half of your salary to Tunan."
"Grandpa, you...you are crazy..." Grandma Zhuang was horrified, her eyes full of pain.
Mr. Zhuang glared at his wife fiercely, "You have long hair but short knowledge. You have to be willing to give. Only by giving can you gain. Huang Ling just relies on her spending money on the children to make Tunan and Xiaoting listen to her. Chaoying is their biological father after all. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. I don't believe that these two children are so heartless."
"Besides, even if Tunan is admitted as a graduate student, he will only study for four years at most. After four years, he will graduate. When he is assigned a job, he will be able to get a salary..."
Grandma Zhuang's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Old man, you are the one who has the idea. We are spending so much money on Tunan now. If he dares to be unfilial later..."
Having said this, Grandma Zhuang paused immediately and did not say anything else, but Grandpa Zhuang and Zhuang Ganmei immediately realized their mistake and a sly smile appeared on their faces.
Zhuang Chaoying knew what his mother was planning, but he still wanted to use this opportunity to repair his relationship with his children.
……
After this summer vacation, Lin Dongzhe, Zhuang Xiaoting and Xiang Pengfei will be the senior high school students, so this summer vacation is very important for them. Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan stayed in Suzhou to give them extra lessons.
Therefore, this summer vacation was undoubtedly the most painful one in Lin Dongzhe's life, which can be described as passing day by day like a year.
On the contrary, for Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan, this summer vacation was extremely relaxing. Of course, the only thing that made Zhuang Tunan crazy was Xiang Pengfei's attitude towards study. Zhuang Tunan was so angry that she made long-distance calls to her aunt Zhuang Hualin to complain more than once.
After Xiang Pengfei was severely scolded by his mother, he did feel better for a few days. However, after the "effect of the medicine" wore off, the symptoms recurred. Zhuang Tunan no longer had much hope for him.
"Brother Hao, what can I do if I don't get into college?" Xiang Pengfei was actually very confused. He knew that there was a high probability that he would not be able to get into college, but he had no idea what to do after graduating from high school.
Qin Hao laughed: "We haven't even taken the exam yet, and you're already backing down?"
"We are self-aware." Xiang Pengfei scratched his head embarrassedly.
Qin Hao patted his shoulder and said half-jokingly: "If you fail the college entrance examination, come and hang out with me."
"Okay, Hao, I'll be your driver. I'm a very good driver."
"I told you to drive, I told you to drive!"
Zhuang Tunan came out from the inner room and happened to hear the conversation between Xiang Pengfei and Qin Hao. He was so angry that he rolled up his homework book and hit Xiang Pengfei on the head.
"Don't tease Pengfei, this silly boy might take it seriously."
"Whether he takes it seriously or not, it won't affect his college entrance exam results. If he doesn't do well, I'll still be there to back him up."
At the end of August, the night before Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan went to Shanghai, Zhuang Chaoying handed Zhuang Tunan an envelope as the sun set.
