Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1231: Chapter 1231: Apology (Third Update)

"Chen Jian Country won’t divorce either," Tang Jun added.

Unless Chen Jian Country is out of his mind, he definitely won’t divorce.

Tang Yue also wholeheartedly agreed with Tang Jun.

"Whatever, I won’t help with this matter," Tang Mingli said through gritted teeth, and went back to report this to Elder Mrs. Zhang and Tang Zhenghong.

"Impossible."

Tang Zhenghong shook his head, feeling that Tang Mingli’s words were unreliable.

"Believe it or not, I’m done with this," Tang Mingli felt extremely frustrated, and he said, "Mom, Jiajia and I along with the child are going to the county, we’ll return to Jiang City tomorrow."

After speaking, Tang Mingli took Wei Jiajia and the child back to the county. If he stayed at home any longer, he might not even be able to eat.

"Mingli." Elder Mrs. Zhang watched Tang Mingli’s resolute departing figure, then turned to scold, "Would Mingli tell you if he wasn’t certain?"

"How could Chen Jian Country act like this? I’ve been worrying about this every day lately, couldn’t sleep well at night, constantly on edge throughout the day," Tang Zhenghong gritted his teeth, preparing to find trouble with Chen Jian Country, but he had already come over.

After Tang Zhenghong left yesterday, Chen Jian Country consulted with Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen, deciding to give Tang Zhenghong the cold shoulder, but seeing as she showed no signs of coming back, Chen Jian Country became anxious. If he really divorced Tang Zhenghong, wouldn’t that mean a complete falling out with the Tang Family?

The Tang Family in Wangjiang City are significant figures; others can’t even get connections to curry favor. If he truly divorced Tang Zhenghong, there would be no ties left with the Tang Family at all.

The more he thought about it, the more restless he grew.

Chen Jian Country carried some fruits and went to the Tang Family to apologize.

Tang Zhenghong’s face had swollen over the past couple of nights, looking even more frightening. Chen Jian Country wasn’t much better, with several red marks on his face, so he specifically chose to come at night to avoid running into acquaintances.

"Mom, Zhenghong." Chen Jian Country came to apologize, bearing fruits, with a posture of trying to please.

"Hmph."

Elder Mrs. Zhang turned her head away, thinking of what Tang Mingli said, and seeing Tang Zhenghong’s face made her even angrier at Chen Jian Country.

"Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have argued with Zhenghong," Chen Jian Country softened his tone, saying, "Zhenghong, I was wrong. I’ve reflected on myself."

...

In the adjacent room, Tang Yue didn’t know how Chen Jian Country tried to make amends. In any case, it ended with Chen Jian Country and Tang Zhenghong quarreling, and the topic of two thousand turning into ten thousand made things next door chaotic.

"Xiao Yue."

Zhang Hualian was about to call Tang Yue for dinner, but upon seeing how Tang Yue nearly pressed herself against the wall to eavesdrop, she couldn’t help but pull Tang Yue back into the room, saying, "You’re a mother now, can you set a better example for your child? Can’t you not do such eavesdropping?"

"If you really want to know, just go next door openly," Zhang Hualian helplessly remarked at Tang Yue’s childish behavior.

"Mom, I just want to listen, I’m not going over there, it’s too noisy."

Tang Yue dug her ears, thinking that if she really went next door and watched Tang Zhenghong and Chen Jian Country argue, it wouldn’t be interesting.

"You’re leaving for Jing City tomorrow. See if there’s anything else you need to bring," Zhang Hualian asked while cooking in the kitchen.

Tang Yue replied, "Mom, there’s nothing much to take. I didn’t bring much back anyway, but you probably have a lot to bring, right?"

Originally, Zhang Hualian and Tang Zhengde planned to stay in their hometown for a while longer, but since Tang Jun couldn’t see, they were indeed worried about leaving him alone in Jing City.

Although Tang Yue was there, she was often too busy to take care of herself, let alone take good care of Tang Jun.

Therefore, after discussing it, the couple decided to go to Jing City.

Anyway, Elder Mrs. Zhang and Elder Mrs. Tang were in good health, aside from some old ailments, they were quite well. With Zhang Hualian and Tang Zhengyuan taking care of them at home, there was nothing much to worry about outside.

If something really came up, they could return to Wangjiang City, thanks to the convenience of a plane, it would only take a day.

"It’s not much clothing-wise, there’s barely enough room to pack, Xiao Yue, stop making clothes, our clothes practically can’t fit anymore."

Recalling this issue, Zhang Hualian reminded Tang Yue that the clothes she and Tang Zhengde had were already too many, and every season change, Tang Yue would buy a lot of clothes for her.

"Mom, give away the old clothes, I’ll make you new ones." Tang Yue didn’t care, if she lacked the ability, it would be different, but when she could, she wanted to give more to her parents. In her heart, no matter how much she gave, it couldn’t repay the kindness of her parents.

After dinner, Tang Yue didn’t even need to check next door to know what happened with Chen Jian Country and Tang Zhenghong. Elder Mrs. Zhang solemnly warned Chen Jian Country not to gamble again, also making him repeatedly promise over the matter regarding two thousand yuan.

Only then did Chen Jian Country take Tang Zhenghong back home.

Not only did Chen Jian Country fail to get ten thousand yuan, he also made numerous commitments. Frustrated deep down, but he dared not provoke Tang Zhenghong again, fearing that if the relationship truly ended, there would be no support for future issues.

"Zhenghong, what about Xiao Gang’s situation then?" Chen Jian Country pondered that if he couldn’t get ten thousand yuan, Xiao Gang’s bride money of twenty thousand must be secured somehow.

"Whatever he wants, I don’t have money."

Tang Zhenghong still held a grudge against Chen Jian Country, and her words weren’t kind, "If he wants to marry such an extravagant wife, I can’t afford such a precious daughter-in-law."

"Then let him be," Chen Jian Country became even more neglectful.

Initially trying to see if some money could be extracted, and now unable to get any, his interest waned. He said, "Zhenghong, you should try to win over your mom, let her help us."

"You see, Tang Zhengyue reportedly bought another house in the city," Chen Jian Country harbored deep jealousy, thinking although they were relatives, Zhao Youwei, backed by the Tang family, was becoming wealthier while he, Chen Jian Country, grew poorer.

Instead, he got poorer and poorer.

"Her man is ambitious, with factories and shops everywhere, and you? Even a Southern Goods Store you opened had to close down," Tang Zhenghong got frustrated bringing it up. Initially, the clothing store business wasn’t bad and made good money, but poor-quality counterfeit items hurt its reputation, eventually reaching Tang Mingli’s ears.

Consequently, Tang Zhenghong’s shop had to close. She tried selling regular clothes, but ended up losing money, leading to the shop’s closure.

"That was just bad luck on our part, we can try something else," Chen Jian Country suggested, "What do you think about opening a breakfast shop?"

"Or, we could reopen a Southern Goods Store?" Chen Jian Country was keen on opening a store.

"Do you have money?" Tang Zhenghong eyed him skeptically, letting Chen Jian Country rave all he wanted, his words only half believable to her now.
