Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Chopped Up and Fed to the Dogs
Gu Beihuai demonstrated through actions how he would handle the situation.
After Tang Chuxia had been educated by him to the point where she couldn’t retort, she finally said, “In the future, it’s best not to challenge my limits, or else I’ll make you cry without a place to cry!”
Pinching Gu Beihuai’s waist, Tang Chuxia sighed and admitted, “Lin Qingchen is a good-looking guy with a great personality, but he’s really not my type. I prefer you—you’re like a challenging dish of spicy Tyrannosaurus at!”
Gu Beihuai knew Tang Chuxia would never say anything too nice, and pinching her face, he said, “Just keep on bad-mouthing !”
Tang Chuxia gave a dry laugh.
This was definitely not the ti to take things seriously; it was easy to ss up.
Since the matter with Lin Qingchen had been resolved, Tang Chuxia still wanted to wait for Father Tang and Madam Tang to co back, to ask about the family grave.
Sadly, she couldn’t stay awake for their return and fell asleep.
Father Tang and Madam Tang didn’t return too late; it’s just that there had been a lot of excitent at today’s gathering. Everyone was emotionally charged and too engrossed in conversation—nobody wanted to leave.
Perhaps at their age, it was difficult to have gatherings, so whenever one occurred, they always wanted to talk more and reminisce about their youth.
It seed as though their youth ca back to life when spoken of by others.
When the next day ca, and Tang Chuxia hadn’t seen Father Tang and Madam Tang awake yet, she asked licorice with curiosity, “Do you know what ti my parents got back last night?”
Licorice shook her head: “I have no idea!”
They must have returned quite late.
Tang Chuxia shook her head helplessly. How could her parents still be so wild at their age?
Gu Beihuai reminded her, “Mom and Dad aren’t children; staying up late occasionally isn’t a big problem.”
After shooing Gu Beihuai away, Tang Chuxia slowly ate her breakfast, waiting for Madam Tang and Father Tang to wake up.
The pair finally got up when Tang Chuxia was almost too full to eat anymore. They couldn’t stop yawning as soon as they arrived.
It was quite evident that they were really tired.
“What’s wrong?”
Tang Chuxia hurriedly pulled out a chair for Madam Tang to sit, noting her significantly dark circles under her eyes.
Madam Tang took a boiled egg offered by licorice and started rolling it over her eyes, attempting to reduce the swelling of her eyelids.
Tang Chuxia couldn’t bear to watch and simply grabbed another egg, rolling one on each side of her mother’s eyes.
Using boiled eggs to roll around the eyes was the quickest thod to lessen swelling and the most acceptable for the skin.
“We drank quite a bit of alcohol last night, and my head still hurts now!”
Madam Tang was full of regret, lanting over drinking too much at her age.
Tang Chuxia joked with her, “Luckily, Licorice made so spicy soup. Have so in a bit—nothing beats hot soup for sobering up.”
Licorice took the opportunity to bring over the spicy soup.
Although not many use spicy soup as a redy for hangovers, Tang Chuxia thought the combination worked well, having tried it herself.
“By the way, where’s Dad?”
Tang Chuxia hadn’t seen Father Tang and curiously inquired!
Madam Tang pursed her lips, gesturing for Tang Chuxia to look to the side.
She saw Father Tang and Xue Zhanyi walking out with looks of mutual disgust, both looking rather disheveled.
“Spicy soup?” Tang Chuxia offered.
Father Tang agreed, “Let’s have so!”
Xue Zhanyi indicated he was okay with that.
Licorice brought a bowl over for each of them.
The three of them did drink quickly, perhaps because the spicy soup really worked wonders, all of them looked much more spirited.
Xue Zhanyi scratched his hair and put his glasses back on, his face full of emotion, “Indeed, it’s Xiaxia who is considerate. If it were my kids, no matter how drunk I was, they definitely wouldn’t prepare breakfast for !”
Tang Chuxia did not want to pick up on that topic.
It always felt rather unethical.
Father Tang certainly didn’t indulge Xue Zhanyi, “You know you have kids? Then why do you co to dote on my place? My Xiaxia is not your daughter!”
Always able to talk back at any ti, which commanded respect.
Tang Chuxia couldn’t be bothered with them and asked Madam Tang, “Mom, what exactly is going on with the ancestral grave in our hotown?”
When the news ca before, Father Tang said he would handle it, so why was there still an issue?
Father Tang said, “Hasn’t it already been repaired? The grave was destroyed by rainwater!”
Tang Chuxia repeated what Lin Qingchen had said, and Father Tang frowned, not having expected the ancestral grave issue to be troubleso.
“I’ll go back and see what’s really going on!”
Madam Tang warned him, “Handle it properly when you go back, and don’t cause any other issues!”
Since Lin Qingchen and the others had ntioned it, there must be a problem.
“Mom, how about I accompany Dad back?”
Tang Chuxia also wanted to go back and have a look. It wasn’t that she cared about the ancestral grave, but she thought she might find so clues about Tang Wanqiu.
Although Tang Wanqiu was now under control, Wu Yue was a person Tang Chuxia was really concerned about.
There was another thing, “Mom, about the cultural troupe job, since Tang Wanqiu isn’t going anymore, it can’t just be left unresolved, right?”
That was a job her grandmother had arranged for her. Even if she didn’t use it, it couldn’t go to waste.
Madam Tang seed to rember this too, “Then I’ll go ask!”
Job positions were so hard to co by; they should not be wasted.
“Yeah, even if we give it to Licorice, that’d be good, better than wasting it!”
After Tang Chuxia made the suggestion, Madam Tang acknowledged it and told her not to worry.
It was always good to settle a job.
After the al, Father Tang and Tang Chuxia cleaned up a bit and went to Tang Village to take a look. As for Xue Zhanyi, it wasn’t appropriate for him to continue staying at the Tang Family, so he went back to his place.
Madam Tang continued to rest.
On the way back, father and daughter were quite harmonious.
“Xiaxia, what do you think of Xue Zhanyi?” Father Tang might have been really bored and started to ask about this.
Tang Chuxia said, “He’s a nice guy, capable and gentlemanly. If he weren’t older, I guess there would be quite a few young girls who liked him!”
Her words reached Father Tang’s ears, “Whose daughter are you exactly? Whose side are you on?”
Tang Chuxia laughed, “Dad, you being jealous like this is kind of off. I’m telling the truth. If you don’t like Xue Zhanyi, I can understand, but can you prevent Uncle Xue from liking Mom?”
Feelings are not sothing you can just stop because you want to.
Father Tang cursed, “You heartless thing, you’re actually luring rotten peach blossoms!”
Tang Chuxia disagreed, “Dad, you’ve got it wrong. What do you an ‘rotten peach blossoms’? Don’t you have a first love yourself? Mom has put up with you for so many years, even allowing you to raise the daughter of your first love by your side, taking the place of a child. Mom didn’t go mad and kill you, and that’s not just any kind of tolerance. And here you are complaining about Mom?”
Tang Chuxia considered Father Tang to be not just a hypocrite but also a bastard.
If Gu Beihuai dared to do such a thing, Tang Chuxia would chop him up and feed him to the dogs!
