70's Raising a Child: I'm done with cannon fodder female supporting roles

Chapter 60 Were you so unkind before?
Shen Nanqiao raised his eyes and looked at Tian Dazhuang.

"Da Zhuang, please ask the factory manager for leave when you are at work. I have something to take care of today."

Tian Dazhuang understood immediately and nodded vigorously: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will tell the factory director when I get to the factory."

When Jiang Zhe saw this scene, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He remembered very clearly that Shen Nanqiao and Tian Dazhuang had never spoken to each other before. How come they became so familiar with each other just a few days after he left?

Back then, Tian Dazhuang had an extremely violent and aggressive temper.

Because his grandmother and sister were always bullied, every household in the village looked down on him and called him a second-rate person in the village.

They said that he would never be able to find a wife when he grew up, and he wouldn't even have a proper business, and he would have to rely on his eighty-year-old one-eyed grandmother for support.

The villagers were full of bad words towards Tian Dazhuang.

This caused Tian Dazhuang to suffer heavy heartbreak. He retaliated against the villagers and destroyed many things.

Every time after getting into trouble, only grandma would cry and apologize to each family, and with trembling hands, she would take out the only money in the family to pay compensation.

Later, Tian Dazhuang was beaten up by a group of people. Jiang Zhe rescued him and helped him find a job.

Tian Dazhuang is young and it is not difficult for him to find hard labor work, but the work is physically demanding and he doesn't earn much money. Once he quits, he will have nothing.

It would be different if I learned the technology from Jiang’s father.

Once you have learned the skills, you will have the foundation for your life.

At that time, many people who were rich and courageous invested in building factories, and the demand for workers increased greatly. Working in a factory was much better than farming.

When Jiang Zhe took Tian Dazhuang home to discuss the matter with his grandmother, his grandmother was so moved that she burst into tears and held Jiang Zhe's hand and cried:

"You saved Da Zhuang. Sometimes when Da Zhuang got into a fight with someone, I got angry and anxious, but I couldn't blame him. What those people said was too rude."

Good people are often bullied. If Tian Dazhuang just endures it and is treated like a weakling, those people will not feel guilty if something happens to them one day.

But every time he fought back, not only did he get hurt more, but he also got into more trouble.

After Jiang Zhe visited Tian Dazhuang's home, Tian Dazhuang's temperament changed drastically.

He saw with his own eyes how Jiang Zhe scared off the group of thugs with his real kung fu, and heard with his own ears how Jiang Zhe talked patiently with his grandmother, arranged a job for him, and guided him to reform.

In the past few months, Tian Dazhuang followed Jiang's father to work. At the beginning, he always made mistakes, which increased Jiang's father's workload.

But every time he made a mistake, his originally fierce face would reveal a timid look, thinking that Jiang's father would scold him. However, Jiang's father never blamed him. Instead, he patiently taught him, even if he made many mistakes.

Father Jiang always said: “It’s good to make mistakes, because if you make many mistakes you will remember them.

When working in a steel mill, safety comes first. I will teach you more so that you can work on your own in the future without any accidents.

Since you have become my apprentice, I have to be responsible for you."

This was the first time that Tian Dazhuang felt the warmth of the Jiang family.

Looking at Jiang Zhe and Jiang's father, he was full of envy and secretly vowed to become someone like them.

So he suppressed his anger and acted like a normal person.

At this time, Shen Nanqiao finished talking to Tian Dazhuang and walked towards Jiang's father.

She looked at the sky:

"Dad, it's almost seven o'clock. You and Da Zhuang should hurry to the factory. If you are late, the factory manager will make trouble for you. Leave Yaoyao's matter to me. I will definitely take care of it."

Song Xia looked at Shen Nanqiao's serious expression and felt warm in her heart.

She hugged Yaoyao tightly in her arms and whispered:

"Nan Qiao, be careful and let Jiang Zhe accompany you. Last night, your father and I failed to catch Old Lady Ma. She actually said that even if the police came, they couldn't do anything to her. She also threatened that if we continued to bother her, she would hang herself in our house.

Your father and I didn’t dare to take any risks, so we let her run away.”

Song Xia's words were full of guilt.

Shen Nanqiao's eyes turned cold.

In his heart, he secretly mocked Ma Laotai for being cunning, but he said:
"Mom, I don't blame you. I will settle accounts with her. Kidnapping is a serious crime. It is impossible for Old Lady Ma not to go to jail since she accepted the money. The law will not let her off easily. Otherwise, how can we protect the children?"

Song Xia's eyes became red again. When she thought about how Yaoyao almost got into trouble, her heart was broken and she couldn't help but hug Yaoyao tightly again.

Jiang's father rode his bike to escort Song Xia and the children home.

Tian Dazhuang talked to Jiang Zhe. Although Jiang Zhe didn't ask, Tian Dazhuang still took the initiative to explain why his relationship with Shen Nanqiao had eased.

Shen Nanqiao happened to turn his head and his eyes fell on them.

Tian Dazhuang was speaking when he saw this and immediately shut up, with embarrassment on his face.

Shen Nanqiao approached, looked at the two of them, and then looked at Tian Dazhuang:

"Da Zhuang, what are you talking about with your brother Jiang Zhe?"

Tian Dazhuang stammered:
"Sister-in-law, I didn't... I didn't say anything. I definitely didn't tell Brother Jiang Zhe about what happened at the steel plant or about teaching me to teach Long Yihang a lesson."

This expression of trying to cover up something but making it even more obvious is clearly an attempt to cover up something.

Shen Nanqiao couldn't help laughing:
"Okay, I believe you. But Brother Jiang Zhe is not deaf, you have revealed everything. Besides, Brother Jiang Zhe is a retired soldier and he knows that you fought in the village. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

When Tian Dazhuang heard this, he raised his hand nervously to assure Jiang Zhe:

“Brother Jiang Zhe, I really didn’t fight again after you left. Long Yihang was the first one, and it was my sister-in-law who agreed.”

Jiang Zhe's stern face showed a rare hint of expression, and he curled his lips slightly:

"Got it. I'll teach you a few more moves when I have time. They can make your opponent unable to fight back, but they won't cause him to bleed or get hurt, and they can keep him lying down for several days.

Then those troublemakers won’t dare to trouble you easily.”

Tian Dazhuang's eyes lit up.

The 1.9-meter-tall guy almost jumped up in excitement and nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, Brother Jiang Zhe!"

Tian Dazhuang was in a hurry to go to work. After saying goodbye to Shen Nanqiao and Jiangzhe, he happily ran towards his bicycle and sped away.

Shen Nanqiao looked at Tian Dazhuang's back, feeling both angry and amused:

This child is so naive and cute.

She turned to look at Jiang Zhe with curiosity in her eyes:

"Do you approve of his fighting?"

Jiang Zhe's eyes were calm, thinking of the situation at Tian Dazhuang's home, and he spoke softly:
“I don’t agree with fighting, but Da Zhuang is different. He grew up being bullied. If he doesn’t resist, he will be the one who gets beaten to death in the end.

His grandmother is old and can only see with one eye. His sister can't walk at the age of five and can only utter single words. Dazhuang is so young but has to bear such great pressure. "

Shen Nanqiao frowned slightly, looked in the direction where Tian Dazhuang left again, and clenched his fists secretly.

When she has the ability, she will definitely help Tian Dazhuang.

"Well, I'll help you take care of him when you're not at home."

"You?" Jiang Zhe asked with a hint of teasing in his tone.

It seems like she is questioning how she can protect Tian Dazhuang?

Shen Nanqiao put his hands on his hips, full of confidence:

"I don't cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either. If I'm right, I'll definitely make the other party spit out bones!"

Jiang Zhe's eyes flickered and his expression changed slightly.

Shen Nanqiao looked at him and suddenly remembered his past behavior, touching his nose awkwardly.

Wasn't she a bad person before?

"I won't talk about the past. Jiang Zhe, you won't hold a grudge, right?"

Jiang Zhe pretended not to understand: "What?"
