Clang!

Zhang Xiuqin pushed the door open fiercely with an angry expression. “This Tang Jinghong is really an ingrate. When he’s at home, he doesn’t take out his money and pretends to be poor. Now, he’s throwing away money like dirt.”

She turned around and glared at Tang Shan. “Look how your son treats you, do you still think he’s filial to you?”

Mr. Tang also felt uncomfortable, but he was the one who chased his son out. He was in no position to say anything now.

“Can you shut up? You talk non-stop all day long. Jinghong left this house because he couldn’t stand you.”

Zhang Xiuqin pointed at her nose. “Because of me?” She smiled mockingly. “Tang Shan, you were the one who chased him out of the house back then. Now, you’re blaming me?”

Tang Shan accused, “If you hadn’t been scolding Jinghong all day, would I have done that?”

Zhang Xiuqin did not think that she had done anything wrong and argued, “I scolded him because I was educating him. He’s lazy.”

The more Tang Shan thought about it, the more he felt that it was funny. He retorted, “Your son is even lazier. Why have I never heard you scolding him?”

Zhang Xiuqin said without hesitation, “He’s my own son. How can 1 bear to scold him?”

Tang Shan said irritably, “Your son is a son, but other people’s sons are not sons?”

Zhang Xiuqin pointed at Tang Shan and said angrily, “Tang Shan, what do you mean? Although 1 scolded him, 1 didn’t let him leave. You did it.”

Tang Shan did not want to argue with Zhang Xiuqin. No matter how much he argued, it wouldn’t change the fact that he had lost his son. “I’m going to work.”

Zhang Xiuqin pulled him back. “Tang Shan, Tang Jinghong is so rich. Why don’t you get him to give you some?”

Tang Shan shook off Zhang Xiuqin’s hand and walked into the house. “If you want to go, go. I’m not going. I’m not that shameless.”

“You’re his father. If you asked him to give you some, he wouldn’t refuse.” Zhang Xiuqin quickly followed into the house. “Tang Shan, even if you don’t care about me, you have to think for your youngest son. He’s going to get married soon. His brother’s betrothal gifts are so generous. If his betrothal gifts are too shabby, he’ll be laughed at.”

Tang Shan actually wanted Tang Jinghong to give him some money too. Tang Jinghong was so rich now. What was wrong with him giving his father some money? He said, “He won’t give it to me.”

Zhang Xiuqin tried her best to persuade Tang Shan. “He’ll give it to you. Tang Shan, as long as you ask, he has no reason not to give it to you. It’s only right for a son to be filial to his father.”

Tang Shan was a little worried, but he was very tempted. “But 1 chased him out of the house.”

Zhang Xiuqin said shamelessly, “So what if you chased him out of the house? Even if you kill him, you’re still his biological father.”

Yes, he was Tang Jinghong’s father. It was only right for a father to educate his son. He chased his son out of the house for the peace of the family. Tang Shan was convinced. He turned around and walked out. “Alright, I’ll go find him.”

Zhang Xiuqin quickly followed, fantasizing about returning home with a stack of banknotes.

That piece of sorghum land belonged to Chu Lianghong, the family that planted sugarcane.

When Chu Lianghong heard that Tang Jinghong wanted to buy sorghum land to build a house, he agreed readily. “Jinghong, you’re capable now. Don’t forget about us when we need your help.”

If anyone in the village wanted to go to battle and enter the army, he would help without hesitation… Tang Jinghong nodded. “I will.”

Seeing that Tang Jinghong had agreed, Chu Lianghong was even happier. “Let’s go. Let’s go to the county city to sign the document now so that you can start building the house early.”

Tang Jinghong replied, “Okay.”

At this moment, Tang Shan’s voice sounded. It was deliberately friendly. “Jinghong, Jinghong…”

Tang Jinghong turned around and looked at the enthusiastic Tang Shan and Zhang Xiuqin. Seeing that the two of them were up to no good, he pursed his lips and exuded a cold aura.

Chu Lianghong also knew about Tang Jinghong’s family matters. He looked at Tang Jinghong’s expression and then said to Tang Shan, “Tang Shan, why are you here?”

Tang Shan quickly said, “Uncle Lianghong, I’m here to talk to Jinghong.”

Chu Lianghong thought for a moment. They were definitely here to talk to Tang Jinghong about money. He couldn’t stand it. “1 have something to do with Jinghong now. Come back and find him later.”

Tang Shan looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. “What are you going to do?”

Chu Lianghong’s voice turned cold. “This has nothing to do with you. Don’t ask so many questions. Go back.”

Tang Shan felt uncomfortable. “Uncle Lianghong, I’m Jinghong’s father. Why would 1 need to pick a time to talk to him?”

“Father?” Chu Lianghong said sarcastically, “You still know that Jinghong is your son?”

Tang Shan was a little embarrassed. “Uncle Lianghong, no matter what, it’s between us father and son. It’s not good for you to say that, right?”

Chu Lianghong emphasized, “I’m just being fair. Tang Shan, you can’t be so heartless.”

Zhang Xiuqin couldn’t help but interrupt. “Uncle Lianghong, this is our family matter. Can you stop interfering?”

Chu Lianghong glared at Zhang Xiuqin. “What are you, a stepmother, doing here? Do you want to get close to your stepson when you know that he’s rich now?”

Having her motives exposed so bluntly, even if Zhang Xiuqin was shameless, she could not help but blush. “Uncle Hong, can you not be unreasonable? Tang Jinghong is our son. It’s only right to ask him for money.”

“Aiyo, Zhang Xiuqin, you’re really shameless. If you really treat Jinghong as your son, even if you didn’t say a word, he would have given you the money. You didn’t have to ask for it. Besides, he’s not the only son of the two of you. You ask Jinghong to be filial, but have you ever asked your other son to be filial?”

Zhang Xiuqin secretly scolded Chu Lianghong for being a busybody, but Chu Lianghong was an elder. They did not dare to scold him in person. They could only endure it.

“Uncle Hong, we also teach Dengping to be filial, but he’s not as capable as Jinghong after all.”

“Jinghong’s money didn’t come out of thin air.” Chu Lianghong said angrily, “He fought to the death on the battlefield to earn the money. You actually have to cheek to ask him for money.”

Zhang Xiuqin licked her lips and said, “His next betrothal money is 1,000 taels of silver. He’s throwing money away like dirt. We just want to help him manage the money.”

“Speaking of this, you two are even worse as parents.” Chu Lianghong was angry. “Jinghong is 25 years old, right? He’s been back for three to four months, right? Have you ever thought about arranging a marriage for him?”

Tang Shan and Zhang Xiuqin lowered their heads together. They had never had this intention.

Chu Lianghong scolded, “Other men who are 24 or 25 years old are already a father of many children. You didn’t care about him, so he could only help himself. Now that he’s found a wife and dotes on his wife, you are unhappy and complain about him giving away too much money. What kind of logic is that?” “Tang Shan, do you think no one knows about you kicking Jinghong out of the house that night?”

“How cruel are you?!”

“Fortunately, Jinghong has some money. Otherwise, he would be living on the streets.”

Tang Shan lowered his head in shame and did not dare to look up at all..
