Chapter 89

“No money!”

Qiu Dazhao had been used to being domineering in her own brigade, she didn’t know that the people in the courtyard were so difficult to deal with.

Tang Wan and Zhang Hongyan exchanged glances, both their eyes filled with anger.

“Then apologize!”

Zhang Hongyan roared, Xu Tuanzhang had also gone on a mission.

They were just women at home, she didn’t believe they couldn’t handle Qiu Dazhao!

But Qiu Dazhao was Qiu Dazhao, she had never suffered a loss in the brigade, how could she possibly bow her head?

She stiffened her neck and winked at her two grandsons, but Tang Wan had anticipated this.

She chuckled and winked at Tang Zhou, calling out, “Zhouzhou!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Tang Zhou quickly understood Tang Wan’s intention. He stepped forward and rushed to Xu Heping.

“I…”

Before Xu Heping could finish, Tang Zhou grabbed him and gave him a good beating.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch…”

Xu Heping wailed and frantically dodged Tang Zhou, Qiu Dazhao screamed and wanted to help.

“Ah, ah, ah!!!”

“Auntie, don’t worry.”

Tang Wan and Zhang Hongyan held Qiu Dazhao tightly on either side, she gave her a soft but firm reply.

“Those kids are just playing around, as long as they’re not hurt.”

“Yeah, we adults can’t help, it’s just kids’ business.”

Zhang Hongyan instantly understood, Wang Shengli also reacted and charged like a little cannonball.

“Brother Zhou, I’ll help you!”

“Weiping, Xu Qiao, are you dead? Hurry up and help Heping!”

Qiu Dazhao was about to go crazy, but Tang Wan and Zhang Hongyan were blocking her.

This was too much!

She would tell Dàshù and have their men punished!

Qiu Dazhao thought angrily, Tang Zhou was very measured in his beating.

He knew how to make Xu Heping hurt, but wouldn’t leave any scars.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch, I’m wrong, Brother Zhou, I won’t bully anyone anymore! Wuwuwu…”

“I…, I’m wrong too, wuwuwu…”

Xu Weimin wailed, Xu Qiao was older and just wanted to pull her little brother away.

Seeing this brutal scene, everyone had a new understanding of Tang Wan and Tang Zhou for the first time.

Cheng Xiaoyue covered her bruised lips, “This is too much, this is too much!”

“This is their family business, you better keep quiet and don’t meddle.”

Xu Cuiying reminded Cheng Xiaoyue not to be foolish, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to withstand Tang Wan’s wrath.

Fortunately, the brawl ended quickly. Tang Zhou patted his slightly disheveled clothes and stepped back a few steps with Wang Shengli to stand beside Tang Wan and Zhang Hongyan.

He raised his head coolly and looked at Qiu Dazhao, “This is how you beat someone up, who told him to be a bully.”

Everyone: …

Everyone never expected a child to say such a thing.

Qiu Dazhao was so angry that her head spun, she almost fainted.

Tang Wan and Zhang Hongyan naturally released her. She rushed to Xu Heping.

“Grandma’s precious grandson, are you two okay?”

She checked Xu Heping and then Xu Weimin. The two children met Tang Zhou’s menacing gaze and shook their heads.

“No pain, no pain, not at all.”

“No pain, Brother Zhou was just playing with me.”

Xu Heping said loudly, if he hadn’t cried, it would have been more believable.

Because of this battle, Tang Zhou became famous in the courtyard, no child dared to bully him and Wang Shengli anymore.

Qiu Dazhao was so angry she wanted to kill someone, but it was useless. Zhang Hongyan smiled and said:

“Kids fight and play, it’s no big deal, everyone disperse, there’s nothing to see.”

“Yeah, I have things to do at home.”

“Be careful of the children from those families in the future, they’re all incredibly fierce.”

“…”

The crowd dispersed in twos and threes. Tang Wan’s lips curved into a slight smile. Just then, Tang Zhou gently nudged her arm.

“Sister, who is that person over there?”

Tang Wan followed his gaze and saw a woman standing there who bore a resemblance to Lu Huaijing.

She had a complex expression and was carrying a bag of fruit.

“Aha, it seems Lu Huaijing’s sister doesn’t like you very much, Mrs. Lu.”

Cheng Xiaoyue had tried to win over Lu Huai Li in order to marry Lu Huaijing.

Therefore, they both knew Lu Huai Li.

Hearing this, Xu Cuiying forcefully pulled Cheng Xiaoyue away again. “If you don’t come back with me,

I’ll tell your brother to send a telegram to have your family come and get you.”

Upon hearing the mention of her family, Cheng Xiaoyue felt a little intimidated, mainly because her mouth hurt badly.

Qiu Dazao felt sorry for her two grandsons and uttered a threat. “You guys just wait and see!”

She took her two children away, determined to have her son and daughter-in-law stand up for her grandsons.

Zhang Hongyan also sensed that the atmosphere was not right. She held Wang Shengli’s hand and said to Tang Wan:

“Sister Wanwan, I’ll take Shengli back to the house first. If you need anything, just call me.”

She didn’t know Lu Huai Li, but she stood firmly by Tang Wan’s side.

Tang Wan’s heart felt warm. “It’s okay, you take Shengli back first.

This is my sister-in-law, we’ll just have a good chat.”

“Alright.”

To be honest, Zhang Hongyan was a little uneasy, but it was their family matter, and she couldn’t meddle too much.

With no outsiders around, Lu Huai Li also walked up to them. Her gaze fell on Tang Wan.

“Third Sister-in-law.”

Although she initially strongly disapproved of her third brother marrying this woman with a less-than-ideal background,

now that she was married to her third brother, Lu Huai Li could only hold her nose and accept her.

“Come in and sit down.”

Tang Wan opened the courtyard gate and let Lu Huai Li in. The three of them entered the courtyard.

Lu Huai Li’s eyes were complex, but she admired Tang Wan’s actions just now.

“I should have come to see Third Sister-in-law earlier, but I took the children back to my husband’s family for a while, and I just came back today.”

“It’s alright, we all live in the compound, it’s the same whenever we meet.”

Tang Wan smiled politely. “Why didn’t you bring the children over?”

“The children have a slight cold.”

Lu Huai Li placed the fruit on the table. Tang Zhou had already gone inside to pour a glass of sugar water.

“Sister, have some water.”

“Thank you!” Lu Huai Li nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over Tang Wan and Tang Zhou.

It had to be said, the Tang family had good genes. Both Tang Wan and Tang Zhou were exceptionally good-looking.

The upbringing that radiated from their bones was something she, a girl raised in the countryside, couldn’t compare to.

She sighed softly. They were both somewhat unfamiliar with each other, and there was a moment of silence.

Tang Wan didn’t rush. She held the sugar water and sipped it slowly, until Lu Huai Li spoke.

“To be honest, when I found out that Third Brother was going to fulfill his marriage contract and marry you, I was against it.”

Fearing that Tang Wan might be unhappy, Lu Huai Li chuckled wryly. “My third brother came from humble beginnings and climbed to this position with great effort.

I truly didn’t want you to affect his future, but now that I’ve met Third Sister-in-law, I seem to understand my third brother’s persistence.”

Even heroes fall for beautiful women.

“I know he’s had a tough journey.”

Tang Wan’s lips curved into a smile. “Don’t worry, once my family’s matters are settled, it won’t affect him.”

Tang Wan already had a plan in mind. She had to think carefully about how to make her father contribute to the country.

Then, she could naturally change their background and status.
