Chapter 803 He is coming
Tang Xiaoqiang could not accept it.
This is not the life he imagined.
When he learned that they made a living by scavenging garbage, he refused to believe it.
Tang Xiaoqiang turned around and went to the bedroom. He found Tang Xiaofen's room and started searching.
Tang's mother hurriedly chased after him, "Hey, Xiaoqiang, what are you doing?"
Tang Xiaoqiang: "I don't believe you only have this little bit of money. I don't believe you're making a living by scavenging garbage. I'm going to look for it, I'm going to look for it..."
Tang's mother stomped her feet in frustration, but she was powerless to stop it.
"What are you looking for? You've made a mess of their room."
Tang Xiaoqiang opened a drawer and found the rental contract inside.
So what the old lady said was true?
Damn it, it really is thirty-five a month, and all the things belong to the landlord.
That damn Fang Qing, she lied to me?
While searching, he found the household registration booklet.
Upon seeing the name, Tang Xiaoqiang was shocked. "She changed her niece's name?"
"Yes, your niece is now called Tang Yun."
"And what about my nephew?"
“I haven’t had time to go back and transfer his household registration yet; it’s still registered at the Wang family’s. Perfect timing, now that you’re here, take me back with you, and we’ll go to the Wang family together to transfer Xiaozhi’s household registration.”
Tang Xiaoqiang's face stiffened. "Mother, you want to come back with me?"
"Of course! I've wanted to go back for a long time, but your sister kept saying she was too busy and that she'd take me back when she was free. I told her to just buy me a ticket and take me to the train station, but she refused, saying she wasn't comfortable with that. I couldn't find my way around by myself, so I've been delayed like this. You've come at the perfect time; I'll go back with you."
Tang Xiaoqiang thought about how his mother's health was poor and she was always taking medicine.
Who can afford medicine that costs twenty or thirty yuan a month?
"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? You're sick, how can you leave? The doctors in the big city are better, you should stay here and get treatment."
Tang's mother said, "My illness has been cured. Now I just need to take my medicine."
Tang Xiaoqiang's lips twitched. He thought to himself, "You don't even know what disease you have, how could you know it's cured?"
Now that it's cured, why take any more medicine?
"No, Mother..."
Tang's mother got angry and interrupted him, "Xiaoqiang, do you not want to support me anymore?"
"This……"
"Go ask around, who has parents raised by their daughter? It's not like my son died and I'm being raised by my daughter. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others? If my son can't support me in my old age, what's the point of having a son?"
Tang Xiaoqiang has those old-fashioned ideas.
Although he constantly called Tang Xiaofen a "money-loser," the idea that a son should support his parents in their old age was deeply ingrained in him.
He knew that if this matter were to spread to the village, he would be laughed at, and the people in the clan would gossip about him behind his back.
However, their family situation is special; the old lady passed away on her own, so he hasn't been criticized yet.
He could have simply refused to take the old lady back and said that she didn't want to go back with him and that she could stay in Nancheng to help Tang Xiaofen take care of the children.
Tang Xiaoqiang's mind raced, and he made up his mind: he would never take the old lady back.
"Mother, now that you're gone, who will help my sister take care of her child?"
Tang's mother lowered her head and hesitated for a while, seemingly in a real dilemma.
But after a moment she said, "Then I have to go back with you. I don't know how many days I have left to live with this disease. What if I die out there? If I can't find my way home, won't I become a wandering ghost?"
“How can a perfectly healthy person just die like that? If you really feel unwell, I'll come and get you. For now, you should stay here and help your sister take care of the two children. You should wait until they're a bit older before going back, otherwise, what will your sister do alone?”
“No, that won’t do. She has to spend so much more money to support me every month. It’s not easy for her as a woman. Take me back and buy me cheap medicine.”
Tang Xiaoqiang thought to himself, "Doesn't that brat know to use cheap medicine? She's not stupid."
Besides, serious illnesses can't be cured with cheap medicine.
"Mom, let's talk about this later. I just got here, I need to rest for a while."
Tang Xiaoqiang was somewhat disappointed that he didn't find anything of value in the room.
He believed eight or nine parts of what his mother told him, but still harbored a sliver of hope.
But he was too tired to think about these things now and decided to take a nap first.
Tang's mother was furious when she saw him take off his smelly shoes and lie down on her daughter's bed.
They tried to get him up, but he wouldn't budge, and they couldn't pull him up either, so they had to give up.
I just hope he really believes it, takes a couple of days off and leaves quickly, otherwise I can't live like this.
……
After finishing her chores, Tang Xiaofen returned home. "Mom."
"Shh." Tang's mother gestured for her to be quiet and pointed into the room.
Hearing snoring coming from inside the house, Tang Xiaofen asked in a low voice, "Is he here?"
Tang's mother nodded and said in a low voice, "Let's go outside and talk."
The mother and daughter went out together, and picked up a shopping basket along the way.
Once outside, Tang's mother briefly explained what had happened.
“I think he believed it. I showed him the scars and he didn’t doubt it. He even found your rental contract.”
Tang Xiaofen sighed and said, "Even if he believes it, he won't leave easily unless he's sure he won't get anything out of it."
"What should I do? I'm afraid he'll notice something if we keep acting for too long."
"Don't rush, we have a backup plan. But we can't be too hasty, or he'll become suspicious."
"Then you mean...?"
"Let him stay for a few days first. If we rush him away, he'll become suspicious."
Tang's mother said, "I understand. I won't let him leave. I'll make him take me with him."
Tang's mother had made up her mind; this time, she was determined to protect her daughter.
Once his daughter goes to work, she complains of feeling unwell and asks him to take her to the hospital, which annoys him to no end.
Tang Xiaofen works the early shift, starting in the early morning. They have to cook dinner in the late afternoon, and after Tang Xiaofen finishes eating, she goes to sleep.
Then Tang's mother went to pick up the two children and watched over them as they bathed, ate, and slept.
Fortunately, Tang's mother came over; otherwise, Tang Xiaofen would have had to do all these things herself.
As a result, she couldn't get a full night's sleep in a day.
She was supposed to start work at 4 a.m., but she got up around 3 a.m.
The rustling sound woke Tang Xiaoqiang, who had slept all afternoon and night.
However, he didn't come out immediately, wondering what he was doing in the middle of the night.
After a while, he heard the sound of the door opening and closing.
Ok?
Where are you going in the middle of the night?
Tang Xiaoqiang slowly got up and came out of the house. He saw that the living room was dark and empty.
At this moment, Tang's mother came out and asked in a low voice, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
"And you're the one talking? What was that noise outside just now? Who went out?"
"Who went out? Your sister went to work. Who else went out?"
