Chapter 1489: Still acting nice after getting an advantage

Suning, who was far away in Shanghai, naturally heard about this first. After all, Lin Wufeng often informed him of important matters concerning Huang Ling and the children. Although he did not know everything, he was almost there.

However, Suning does not have any better solution now. After all, Pengfei is just a helpless child, and Pengfei is far from understanding the complexity between adults.

It would not be good to continue pushing him around, after all, only innocent children would get hurt. So it would be better to let Pengfei stay in the cotton mill for a month or two.

Then Suning not only sent extra living expenses to Huang Ling, but also bought some extracurricular books, clothes and shoes for Pengfei, so that he would have gifts with him when he left Suzhou.

The four children undoubtedly had a very happy childhood. Moreover, they are still at the age where they don’t know worry, so they live together happily every day.

Although he did not meet his knowledgeable uncle this time, Pengfei still gladly accepted the gifts from his uncle. Many of the interesting storybooks were not available in his hometown in Guizhou.

One day, Pengfei suddenly had an idea and looked at Huang Ling in front of him and asked, "Aunt, what kind of person is my uncle?"

"Very good! You are also the smartest one in our family. When you grow up, you must go to college like your uncle." Huang Ling naturally told the child the best side of Suning, and wanted to establish Suning as the goal of the child's growth and learning.

However, Pengfei was not very interested in going to college. He just wanted to make a lot of money to improve his parents' lives. "College is boring! I want to make a lot of money so that I can buy my parents a TV, a refrigerator, and a bicycle."

"Haha, Pengfei is such a good boy, but your uncle always says that books contain golden houses and beautiful women. If you want to make a lot of money, you must go to college and gain experience, otherwise you will never make that much money."

"Thank you, aunt! I know what to do now. I must study hard when I return to Guizhou this time."

"Well, Pengfei is such a good boy."

People in the world value feelings. Originally, Huang Ling did not accept Pengfei from the bottom of her heart. After all, all her love belonged to Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting.

However, after spending more than a month together, Huang Ling discovered that Pengfei was a really well-behaved child, and had a cheerful personality similar to Lin Dongzhe. How could Huang Ling not like such a good child?

Summer vacation was coming to an end and Pengfei was about to return to his hometown in Guizhou. Huang Ling gave him some money and asked him to go to the store to buy some gifts for his friends in his hometown before leaving.

However, Pengfei took out the money from his trouser pocket and handed it to Huang Ling. "Aunt, my mother specifically told me before I came here to give the money to whoever I was staying with."

Looking at the RMB in Pengfei's hand, Huang Ling couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Then why didn't you give it to your grandmother?"

You know, children are also very sensitive and emotional. He had long noticed that Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang were not welcoming him. "Because I knew my grandmother didn't want to take me in, I didn't tell her about it."

"What a good boy." Huang Ling rubbed Pengfei's little head with deep emotion.

Pengfei thought Huang Ling was dissatisfied with the small amount of money when he saw that Huang Ling was reluctant to accept it. "Aunt, I don't have much money to give you, but this is all the money our family can give us. We are poor and there is nothing we can do."

"Silly child, your aunt can't take your money. You can give it back to your mother. Your uncle has already provided for your expenses."

"Thank you, aunt."

"..." Huang Ling looked at Pengfei. She didn't expect that this child was so sensible. Of course, she didn't ask the child for money.

Then Pengfei bought popsicles for the new friends he met here and told them that the money was given by his aunt. He also bought school supplies and exercise books for his friends from his hometown, and used the remaining money to treat everyone to popsicles.

It was not until the end that Zhuang Ganmei appeared and personally sent Pengfei to the train station. Before leaving, Huang Ling prepared food for Pengfei on the train and forced some money on him, asking him to go home and give it to his mother.

Zhuang Tunan was reluctant to let Pengfei go. He didn't understand why Pengfei couldn't stay in Suzhou. It was naturally impossible for a child to understand the adult world.

Because Pengfei's parents lost the qualification to return home as educated youth, they can only continue to wait for new policies in Guizhou, but there is a high probability that they will never be able to return to Suzhou in their lifetime.

After sending Pengfei away, Zhuang Ganmei looked at Huang Ling hypocritically and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry! I never thought you and my brother would get divorced."

"Everyone can say nice things! If you really realize that you are sorry, then don't bother us three mothers in the future, especially this time when Pengfei comes to Guizhou for summer vacation." However, Huang Ling was very disgusted with Zhuang Ganmei's behavior of taking advantage of others.

Zhuang Ganmei continued to defend herself with a wry smile, saying that the mistakes were all other people's and had nothing to do with him. "Sister-in-law, I don't agree with it either, but my parents sent Pengfei here without telling me."

Huang Ling, completely heartbroken, suddenly warned Zhuang Ganmei solemnly, "Ganmei, my two children and I have nothing to do with your Zhuang family. If you do this again, don't blame me, Huang Ling, for eating raw meat."

"This……"

Zhuang Ganmei didn't expect that his former sister-in-law would be so angry. He realized that this matter was really too much, but as a beneficiary, he couldn't blame his parents for anything.

In his heart, he was also very satisfied with the behavior of Zhuang's father and mother. After all, they were all acting in the interests of Zhuang Ganmei, and no one could refuse such a thing of taking advantage of others.

Of course, Zhuang Ganmei was also ashamed of his exploitation of his eldest brother's family, but he could not live a more comfortable life without exploiting others, so Zhuang Ganmei and his family gradually got used to such calculations.

"Go to the US and send Pengfei on the train."

"Yes! Pengfei is doing very well in the cotton mill."

"Oh! Finally we've gotten rid of this trouble. Our family can't afford another child."

"Mom and Dad, I ran into Huang Ling at the train station. She seemed quite angry this time."

"Hmph! Don't pay attention to her! As someone else's wife, she can't ease the conflict between her husband and her parents-in-law. She is a very incompetent daughter-in-law."

"Mom, forget it! Huang Ling and my eldest brother are divorced."

"..."

……

Lin Dongzhe is a smart child. Although he is the most mischievous in the cotton mill, under the subtle influence of Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting, he has been able to maintain an average level in school.

Gradually, Song Ying was rarely called to school to be scolded. Naturally, Song Ying was very happy about this change in her son. She also understood that this was all due to the guidance of Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting.

Today I went to the vegetable market and queued up to buy some ribs, and then stewed a pot of braised ribs. Both families had a happy meal together.

Looking at the pot of braised spareribs, Huang Ling looked at Song Ying in surprise and asked, "Song Ying, why are you so arrogant today?"

"There's good news! Our Lin Dongzhe scored 75 points in the exam. This is quite an amazing improvement!" Song Ying told Huang Ling the good news with a look of surprise on her face.

Huang Ling looked at Lin Dongzhe, whose mouth was full of grease, and laughed. She felt that this child was their happy pill. "Indeed! Dongzhe is becoming more and more well-behaved now."

Lin Dongzhe, who was chewing on spareribs, said in a proud and defensive manner, "Auntie Ling, I have always been very well-behaved, okay?"

"Yes! Dongzhe has always been the best and most well-behaved."

"Sister Ling, Dongzhe's progress is all thanks to Tunan and Xiaoting. Today, Tunan and Xiaoting should eat more spare ribs." "Thank you, Auntie."

Song Ying personally picked up a piece of ribs for each of Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting, "How sensible! Auntie will reward each of you with a large piece of ribs."

However, Lin Dongzhe's progress was quite limited, mainly because his mind was not on studying at all, and he spent more time playing around.

Moreover, Lin Dongzhe's shortcomings are quite obvious. He can't write essays, easily falls asleep in class and doesn't pay attention. Zhuang Tunan has to give him tutoring in the evening, but Lin Dongzhe has no intention of studying at all.

However, Lin Wufeng and Song Ying did not have too high expectations for Lin Dongzhe. As long as he could be safe and healthy, it would be enough. Of course, it would be even better if he could occasionally get lucky enough to continue his studies.

One day, Lin Dongzhe suddenly looked at Zhuang Tunan with curiosity and asked, "Brother Tunan, are you going to go to college in the future?"

Zhuang Tunan nodded firmly and explained, "Yes! I will definitely take the college entrance exam, because going to college is different from not going to college."

"What's the difference? Isn't it the same nose and eyes?" However, Lin Dongzhe retorted with some confusion. He really couldn't understand why so many people cared about going to college.

Zhuang Tunan thought for a moment before looking at Lin Dongzhe and giving an example, "Just like your father, Uncle Lin. If he hadn't gone to college for a year, he naturally wouldn't have become an engineer at the compressor factory. His most likely fate would have been someone like Wang Yong next door."

"Impossible! Even if my dad really has nothing, he will not become a bad guy like Wang Yong, because my dad doesn't have the same kind of calculations as Wang Yong." Sure enough, Lin Dongzhe became disgusted when Wang Yong next door was mentioned.

"Dongzhe, you're just too naive. A different environment has a huge impact on a person. Doesn't Wang Yong want his family to live in harmony?"

"This……"

"It's just that Wang Yong doesn't have the ability that Uncle Lin has, so he can only force himself to keep calculating, and then force himself to become a ruthless and ungrateful villain."

At this moment, Lin Dongzhe looked at Zhuang Tunan with surprise and asked, "Brother Tunan, how do you know so many truths?"

"My father told me! He told me that a person must be sensible, have a sense of interest and be content." Zhuang Tunan then explained with pride on his face.

"Awesome! Brother Tunan, your father is really amazing."

"That's right! My dad is already a graduate student now."

"Brother Tunan, what is a graduate student?"

"Graduate students have a higher level of education than undergraduate students."

At this time, Zhuang Tunan's face was full of pride when he talked about his father. From childhood to adulthood, he always regarded his father as his role model. Every time he thought of his father, Zhuang Tunan could find the goal of his struggle.

Lin Dongzhe, who seemed to understand but not quite, naturally had no way of understanding these things, but he was still infected by the pride on Zhuang Tunan's face, and couldn't help but admire Zhuang Tunan in his heart.

When Pi Houzi returned home, he immediately set a goal for his parents, "Dad, Mom, I also want to get into No. 1 Middle School, and then go to college."

"Dongzhe, you don't have a fever today, do you?" Song Ying and Lin Wufeng looked at each other in surprise, then reached out and touched Lin Dongzhe's little head.

Lin Dongzhe pushed Song Ying's hand away and explained solemnly, "Mom, everything I said is true! I just want to get into No. 1 Middle School, go to college, and become a great man like Uncle Zhuang next door."

"Hmph! Your Uncle Zhuang is the most heartless and ungrateful man. Don't follow his example and abandon your wife and children, or I will break your legs myself."

"..."

Lin Wufeng, standing by, couldn't understand his wife's cynicism. She was definitely one of those hardcore angry young people. "Song Ying, why are you telling the child these things? Isn't it a good thing that he wants to study?"

"Hmph! I just can't stand Zhuang Chaoying's attitude of abandoning his wife and children. He is just a modern version of Chen Shimei." However, Song Ying still felt resentful about Su Ning abandoning his wife and children.

Lin Wufeng reminded Song Ying speechlessly, "How boring! Teacher Zhuang and Sister Ling parted ways amicably. Why are you, an outsider, so excited?"

"When you see injustice, you should speak out! Is that not okay?"

"Okay! Okay! Do whatever you want. It's okay for you to post big-character posters about Zhuang Chaoying tomorrow."

"Hmph! Lin Wufeng, I'm warning you! You can't learn from Zhuang Chaoying."

"Hey! Am I, Lin Wufeng, that kind of person? Besides, I don't have the ability of Zhuang Chaoying."

"Humph! You're quite self-aware."

……

Yiming and Xiangyang were caught when they came back from buying socks. It was only after Lin Wufeng spoke well of the people on the street and gave them cigarettes and watches that the two children were brought out.

Lin Wufeng asked Yiming and Xiangyang to go home quickly so as not to worry their families. Yiming said that he would return the money to Lin Wufeng when he saved enough.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Wufeng took Xiangyang to the factory to make a self-criticism. He was particularly attentive to the two children, Yiming and Xiangyang. At the same time, Yiming and Xiangyang were also very grateful to him.

It can be said that Lin Wufeng is a good teacher and friend to Yiming and Xiangyang, and played a key role in their future life and career.

Yiming suddenly looked at Lin Wufeng seriously and said, "Uncle Lin, I have decided to continue doing business."

Lin Wufeng was naturally confused by Yiming's decision. "What? Yiming, although business does make money quickly, things like today are very common. This is not a long-term solution at all."

"I heard that the Industrial and Commercial Bureau has recently issued individual business licenses. I want to go there and try to apply for one."

"Is this possible? Can I really get this application approved?"

"Uncle Lin, I want to give it a try. I have to try to know if it works or not."

"That's fine! But I, your Uncle Lin, don't have any experience in this area, so I can't offer you much support."

"Understood! Uncle Lin, I will definitely do well."

"Let's go! Go home quickly! So that your family won't have to worry about you again."

In fact, Lin Wufeng said that for a purpose, which was to remind Yiming not to implicate him in the matter, and he also didn't want Yiming to "involve" his cousin Xiangyang too deeply.
