Chapter 506: Chapter 506 Too Embarrassing
Tang Jianbing had told Tang Chuxia not to run around and that they would discuss how to handle things when they got back.
Tang Chuxia didn’t want to worry her brother, so naturally, she wouldn’t run off. However, during the al, Tang Jianbing still spoke to Madam Tang about the matter.
Madam Tang really wanted to give Tang Chuxia a beating.
“Beat her, you must beat her hard, and teach this girl a lesson!” Father Tang was egging on from the side.
Tang Chuxia disapproved of Father Tang’s behavior, “Dad, do you think my mom is Second Grandma? Only soone with a dim brain like you would get handled like that!”
Father Tang was furious.
Madam Tang knocked on Tang Chuxia’s head, “You child, your mouth is so sharp, how co you never learn your lesson? Are those people all good then?”
Tang Chuxia kept silent.
She naturally knew that Wu Yue had no good intentions, but what could she do? She couldn’t just leave at the ti.
“I’m not that stupid. At least I swindled a piece of gold from him!” Tang Chuxia triumphantly pulled out the gold and handed it to Madam Tang like presenting a treasure.
Madam Tang looked at the gold in her hand, amused yet resigned, and seeing the dents, she knew it was Tang Chuxia’s doing.
She didn’t refuse it. After all, it’s better to accept good things from her own daughter than for her to obtain them through shady ways.
Father Tang, on the other hand, seeing the gold, his eyes practically popped out.
Gold was still very valuable nowadays, who wouldn’t want a bit?
But Tang Chuxia didn’t give him any, she gave it all to Madam Tang.
Jealousy made him sowhat lose his senses.
“Tang Chuxia, am I not your real dad?”
Father Tang shouted, and Tang Chuxia thought for a mont, “I don’t know either, maybe not? Aren’t you the one who should know best?”
Father Tang: …
Many tis he really wanted to strangle this daughter of his.
It wasn’t just their family at the dinner table; Tang Daqing and the others didn’t dare to make a sound. They really feared they might burst out laughing, and then Father Tang would feel even more humiliated.
Madam Tang slamd the table and shouted, “Why are you raising your voice? You’re scaring the child. Who do you think you are? How dare you shout at my daughter like that?”
Father Tang: …
She’s not his daughter?
Really?
As his eyes nearly popped out, Madam Tang also seed to realize the ambiguity in her words.
“She is your daughter, that infuriating look is exactly the sa!” Madam Tang pointed it out in Tang Chuxia, and although Tang Chuxia really didn’t want to admit it, seeing the warning look in Madam Tang’s eyes, she could only follow along and say, “Indeed, exactly the sa!”
So infuriating!
On this note, Tang Chuxia agreed.
Father Tang was in despair.
He couldn’t even enjoy his al and started drinking heavily.
Originally, they were to have a burial the next day, and it wasn’t suitable to drink too much, but Father Tang wanted to drink, and nobody felt it was their place to stop him.
They just hoped he wouldn’t embarrass himself too much once he sobered up.
Sure enough, Father Tang really did drink too much. When people get drunk, they either act crazy or just sleep, but what would Father Tang do when drunk?
He would kneel in front of Madam Tang and repent, just like kneeling before the Buddha, confessing everything.
Anyway, it was as disgraceful as it could get—if anyone tried to pull him up, he would throw a tantrum on the ground.
The epito of losing face.
Madam Tang, turning a blind eye, spoke to Tang Daqing’s father, “Big Brother, please keep an eye on him. I still need to check if the joss paper crafts are ready!”
Tang Daqing’s father, pressing down on the still squirming Father Tang on the ground, awkwardly responded, “Go ahead, I’ve got this. I’ll definitely tie him up tonight!”
Such a disgraceful spectacle.
It was the first ti Tang Chuxia had seen Father Tang drunk, and she was sowhat shocked by the spectacle. Glancing at Tang Jianbing, it was clear that this wasn’t his first ti witnessing such a scene as he, feeling embarrassed, covered his eyes and dragged Tang Chuxia away.
Having witnessed it once, Tang Chuxia was truly convinced.
She was just numb.
From now on, it would be better if Father Tang didn’t drink to avoid causing embarrassnt and making them take the bla.
That night, Father Tang ended up getting tied up by Tang Daqing’s father, at least until he sobered up, and wouldn’t be untied.
The next morning, while preparing the offerings for the ritual, Father Tang was woken up. Seeing himself tied up, he asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”
No one wanted to deal with him. Since he was just drunk, not amnesiac, he should rember what he had done.
So when Father Tang rembered what he had done the day before, he was numb and sat there, embarrassingly looking at Madam Tang.
“Get out there and entertain the guests. You’re burying your parents, and you, as the son, are not out there kneeling?” Madam Tang hissed. Father Tang shuddered, instinctively wanting to retort, but then saw the sinister gaze of Third Grandpa and the worm he was holding.
That was far more effective than Second Grandma’s stick.
Father Tang, so disheveled he hadn’t even eaten breakfast, knelt in front of his parents’ morial hall, feeling angry yet daring not say anything.
“Old man, you know you’ve brought this on yourself, right?”
Tang Chuxia knelt next to Father Tang, adding joss paper to the fire.
In this grieving garb, she seed quite obedient, but Father Tang knew the cunning hidden beneath the facade, great at tricking her father.
“You know I can’t drink, didn’t you think to stop ?” Father Tang gritted his teeth and forced the words through them.
But it was no use because Tang Chuxia’s reply was, “Look at you talking, Dad. What do you an I didn’t stop you? With the way you were acting yesterday, who would dare? You’d just throw a tantrum on the ground. Probably even the village’s three-year-old kids have better self-control than you!”
What an embarrassnt!
Father Tang covered his face and continued to burn the paper.
He realized he couldn’t stay here any longer. Once his parents were buried, he planned to leave imdiately.
He was determined not to stay and beco a laughingstock.
The ti for the burial was calculated, and as the granddaughter, Tang Chuxia, following local customs, wasn’t allowed to enter the cetery, and she wasn’t interested in going.
It was just a tradition, and she didn’t have much desire to argue with the village elders about how wrong this tradition was; she just wanted to finish the ritual and go back.
But the ti wasn’t here yet, Jin Haidong, Yang Yingjie, and Lu Qiming were supported as they ca over.
They didn’t waste words. First, they paid their respects to the elder couple of the Tang Family, and then they greeted Father Tang and others before approaching Tang Chuxia, “We did as we said we would!”
Previously, they had promised to use the elder couple’s bones for their leg repair, a favor they owed, so they brought a table full of good things, setting up a grand table to honor the elder couple.
Tang Chuxia was satisfied with their performance and let them off.
“By the way, there’s sothing you need to know. Su Lan and Wu Siyuan might be being hunted by Wu Yue. If you hear anything, protect them first. I need to see them!”
At Tang Chuxia’s request, the three young masters responded, “If Sister Xiaxia asks, we must do it!”
