Chapter 1207: Chapter 1207: Which Wave Is This? (Thirty-Fourth Update)
Tang Jun: "..."
How does he resemble a monkey in any way?
"In the blink of an eye, you’ve grown taller than me." Tang Zhengde mused with great emotion.
Tang Jun followed Tang Zhengde’s words: "Dad, usually, sons tend to be a bit taller than their dads."
"Nonsense, there are plenty of kids who aren’t taller than their dads. That’s not true." Tang Zhengde laughed at Tang Jun’s words and said, "When you were little, people teased you for not growing tall enough."
"Back then, you got angry and even got into a fight with someone."
Tang Zhengde’s words instantly pulled Tang Jun into a nostalgic memory.
Inside the house.
Tang Yue and Zhang Hualian had sent the children to their rooms to rest, while Tang Yue chatted with Zhang Hualian to keep her from overthinking. She said, "Mom, how are Granny and Grandma doing in Sea City? Are they adjusting well? Weren’t you planning to take them around to shop and sightsee? Why did you return to Jing City so quickly?"
"They’ve adapted quite well." Zhang Hualian, chatting about this topic, stopped thinking about Tang Jun’s situation. She said, "Your third aunt, Tang Zhenghong, has come. She came with your granny, saying she’s here to take care of her."
"Really?" Tang Yue’s mouth twitched at the mention of Tang Zhenghong’s name, recalling clearly the incident when Tang Zhenghong sold counterfeits as authentic goods.
Back then, many people complained that Mingyue Clothing’s garments were of poor quality, not worth the price.
If this matter hadn’t been discovered early and promptly dealt with, once the impact broadened, it would have greatly affected Mingyue Clothing Factory.
Tang Mingli spent so much effort to expand Mingyue Clothing Factory, how could he tolerate Tang Zhenghong ruining his hard work, even if she was his own sister?
Tang Mingli had a big argument with Tang Zhenghong about this, and they didn’t speak for a year or two.
Even Granny Tang didn’t show a friendly face to Tang Zhenghong because of this incident. Unexpectedly, now Tang Zhenghong is trying to please Granny Tang again, presumably with some motive?
"Absolutely, I’ve seen your third aunt treating your granny exceptionally well, as if she has some ulterior motive."
Zhang Hualian didn’t like talking behind people’s backs, but what Tang Zhenghong was doing was obvious, just the same as when she sought benefits from Granny Tang before.
"Let her be; Granny Tang can’t make decisions for Uncle either." Tang Yue nonchalantly remarked, "Grandma and Aunt went to Sea City; does Aunt really want to leave her business?"
"She’s willing; your aunt is pretty good."
Zhang Hualian had previously been displeased with Liu Cuixong, but in recent years, Liu Cuixong was quite good and did not mistreat Elder Mrs. Zhang.
As Zhang Hualian wasn’t often at home, Liu Cuixong taking such good care of Elder Mrs. Zhang was commendable.
"By the way."
Zhang Hualian recalled the incident with Yan Wei and shared everything that happened from the train to the Sea City villa with Tang Yue.
"Qiangzi probably just wanted to help her." As soon as Tang Yue finished her sentence.
Zhang Qiang appeared, excitedly saying, "Sis, you really are my sister."
"Cousin, she’s my cousin." Lian Qingyang reminded.
Annoyed, Zhang Qiang looked at Lian Qingyang and said, "A cousin is also a sister; who says a cousin can’t be a sister?"
Lian Qingyang: "..."
Tang Yue watched them squabble over this and shook her head with a helpless smile, saying, "Okay, enough of this; you’re both my brothers, happy now?"
"Sis, we grew up in the same womb." Lian Qingyang said.
Zhang Qiang: "We grew up together since childhood, and you were just in the womb for ten months."
Lian Qingyang: "..."
"Are you kids?"
Tang Yue couldn’t stand it anymore. She looked at Zhang Qiang and asked, "That Yan Wei, have you checked her out?"
"Not yet." Zhang Qiang shook his head and added, "Using my intuition, Yan Wei’s words seem genuine."
"She’s a pitiful girl and should be helped." Tang Yue agreed, intending to ask more, but knowing Yan Wei was by Mo Xiaoyu’s side and with Leng Hua’s disposition, he probably already investigated Yan Wei’s background thoroughly. If there were any issues, he would certainly mention it.

Two days later, Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian took Tang Jun and followed Xu Qinglang to Changshui Village to find Mr. Miao.
Tang Yue was busy at her studio and couldn’t go.
Changshui Village.
The biggest change was the simple classroom being built for Gu Hang and the children.
When Mr. Miao saw Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian and learned of their intention, he couldn’t help but say, "Which round of gratitude is this from you all?"
"Rescuing Xiao Jun was a coincidence; if you keep thanking me like this, this old man won’t be able to face people anymore."
Mr. Miao was honest; even if it wasn’t Tang Jun, as long as Mr. Miao encountered someone in trouble, he would definitely rescue them.
Tang Jun’s entire family, except Tang Jun himself, had come to offer gratitude for the third time. Mr. Miao truly felt if they kept thanking him, he would be too ashamed to face anyone again, as for Mr. Miao, it was simply an easy task.
"Uncle Miao, for you, it was a simple gesture, but for us, it was a lifesaving favor."
Tang Zhengde collected himself with solemnity; he dared not forget the lifesaving favor Mr. Miao bestowed upon them.
When Tang Zhengde presented the ginseng, Mr. Miao immediately refused.
Tang Zhengde said, "Uncle Miao, this piece of old ginseng was also obtained by chance from a medicine gatherer. Now, it’s like offering flowers to Buddha; if you don’t accept it, I won’t be at ease."
"Exactly, Uncle Miao, please accept it." Zhang Hualian echoed, obtaining this piece of old ginseng was indeed a coincidence.
"Uncle Miao, I run restaurants, both in Jing City and Wangjiang City. I didn’t use money to thank you because I feared you wouldn’t accept it. This piece of old ginseng was encountered by chance. Uncle Miao, do you expect me to offer money as appreciation?" Tang Zhengde lowered his stance significantly.
"Uncle Miao, just consider it as filial respect from a younger generation." Tang Zhengde earnestly looked at Mr. Miao.
Mr. Miao looked at the couple, sighed, and said, "Fine, I’ll accept the old ginseng, but next time, you won’t send anyone else to thank me, right? Then, I absolutely won’t accept anything."
This piece of old ginseng was indeed useful to Mr. Miao, as his health was poor. If he could use old ginseng, he might prolong his life a little longer.
Zhang Hualian distributed the food they brought to the girl, then took out homemade dried bamboo shoots and said, "These are dried bamboo shoots I made myself, brought from the south. Uncle Miao, would you like to try it?"
"My teeth aren’t good." Mr. Miao refused, letting the girl try them.
The girl ate a piece and said with sparkling eyes, "Delicious."
Mr. Miao gently touched the girl’s head with kindness. He had wondered what kind of parents could raise such outstanding children like Tang Yue and her siblings, and now seeing Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian, Mr. Miao finally understood.
