Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232: Learning Braille (Fourth Update)
Two thousand dollars isn’t a small amount; the Chen Family scraped together and still fell short of US$ 500.
Chen Jian Country took Tang Zhenghong to borrow money again, Granny Tang was so angry she didn’t know what to say: "Tang Zhenghong, you’re not the one owing money, why are you in a rush?"
"Mom, we’re just short US$ 500, please help me out." Tang Zhenghong was really at her wit’s end; if the debt wasn’t repaid, they’d be thrown out of the house.
"No way." Granny Tang said unhappily: "It’s gambling debt, he should repay it himself."
"Mom, we’re just short a few hundred dollars, should I have to sell the house for it? If I sell the house, where would Xiao Gang and I live?" Tang Zhenghong was also reluctant to sell the house, "Mom, treat it as though I’m borrowing."
Granny Tang took a deep breath, looking at Tang Zhenghong, truly not knowing what to do with her. If she wasn’t her own flesh and blood, she’d have chased her out with a broom. She said, "Let Chen Jian Country write an IOU."
"Ah..."
Tang Zhenghong was taken aback.
She just said it offhandedly, did Granny Tang really take it seriously?
Soon, Tang Zhenghong realized Granny Tang meant it. Without Chen Jian Country writing an IOU, Granny Tang’s stance was very clear: no writing, no borrowing.
US$ 500 may not seem much, but for the Chen Family now, they were unable to manage it.
"If you don’t want to borrow, just leave quickly. I want to take my great-grandson out to play." Granny Tang began to send them off.
Tang Zhenghong quietly tugged at Chen Jian Country saying, "If you don’t want to sell the house, then write it, otherwise, I can’t help."
"You... your own mom lending money, and she wants an IOU?" Chen Jian Country gritted his teeth and mumbled with Tang Zhenghong; eventually, for the money, he wrote the IOU.
Holding the US$ 500, Chen Jian Country felt he had to make money, he had to earn more than the Tang Family, then it’d be the Tang Family coming to him for help. With this thought, Chen Jian Country left with the borrowed two thousand dollars.

Tang Zhenghong’s follow-up, Tang Yue wasn’t aware, she had already returned to Jing City with Zhang Hualian and others.
As soon as she returned to Jing City, a Braille teacher came by; it was a Braille teacher Tang Yue had specifically asked someone to find to teach Tang Jun Braille.
"Sis, you really act fast."
Tang Jun didn’t expect a Braille teacher would come as soon as they arrived in Jing City.
"Keep it up, if you feel tired today, you can chat with the Braille teacher first." Tang Yue encouraged, "I believe in you, you’ll definitely learn well."
"Sis, rest assured, I’ll definitely study hard."
Tang Jun wanted to learn well and also to translate some books related to medicinal herbs. Previously, he didn’t have the time to read them; now, just right, he had time to learn.
"Xiao Yue, will this be too tiring?" Zhang Hualian worried a bit that Tang Jun might not handle it well.
"No, Mom, you’re underestimating Xiao Jun; Xiao Jun can do even better." Tang Yue had full confidence in Tang Jun.
Tang Yue pushed Zhang Hualian to the kitchen and said: "Let’s cook something delicious today, Xiao Yang and the others will be coming over too."
"Okay."
Zhang Hualian immediately started bustling in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous dinner to reward the children, and Xiao Yang and Jin Yan, newly married, visiting Jing City for the first time to reunite; she, as the mother-in-law, had to cook more dishes.
Tang Zhengde also helped by slaughtering a duck, preparing to stew a duck soup to nourish everyone.
Dinner was very lively; Tang Yue and her family of four, Meng Si Yu also rushed back, Tang Zhengde and his wife, Tang Jun, Lian Qingyang, and Jin Yan, along with Ding Ling, a full table, paired with rich dishes, everyone had smiles on their faces.
"Eat more." Meng Si Yu kept picking dishes for Tang Yue.
On the other side, Lian Qingyang kept asking Jin Yan if she wanted this or that, taking care of her with meticulous precision. Newlyweds, they were happy as if in honey.
Jin Yan’s face beamed with happiness, the occasional smile exchanged between them brought forth bubbles of that happiness.
Tang Yue teased, "Xiao Yang, I think you should take Xiao Yan with you wherever you work, otherwise you’ll miss her."
"I would love to, but it’s not possible, though, I think my brother-in-law has the same idea." Lian Qingyang’s boldness increased following marriage.
Meng Si Yu said naturally, "Of course, wanting to be with the one you love all the time is only natural."
Lian Qingyang: "..."
Brother-in-law, you are bolder than me.
Tang Yue had intended to tease Lian Qingyang, but Meng Si Yu’s words turned her cheeks red.
She hurried to change the subject saying, "By the way, where are you planning to go for your honeymoon? Have you decided?"
"Yes, we’ve decided, we’re going to the end of the world and walking life hand in hand." Lian Qingyang’s words to Jin Yan were deep and affectionate, like a true love confession.
"Oh wow, my skin is crawling all over." Tang Yue had extreme disdain for Lian Qingyang’s constant display of affection.
Night.
"Xiao Yue, do you regret not traveling?"
Meng Si Yu held her tightly, inhaling the fragrance in her hair, recalling watching the sunrise in Sea City, they had to go twice to see it.
Married for so many years, they didn’t have time to travel together, unlike Lian Qingyang, who could take Jin Yan to the end of the world right after marriage.
"A little bit."
Tang Yue turned to face Meng Si Yu, slightly tilting her head, smiling brightly with neat white teeth and said, "But, I feel that as long as I’m with you, anywhere is equally joyful, this is true, cannot be truer."
Tang Yue said with a serious face.
"Then shall I touch?"
Meng Si Yu spoke and started moving.
...
Days passed like flowing water; when Tang Yue heard news about Tang Zhenghong again from Zhang Hualian, Tang Zhenghong had divorced.
"Impossible, right?"
Tang Yue was shocked looking at Zhang Hualian, always feeling something wasn’t right.
How come they did not divorce when so much debt was owed before?
Knowing Chen Jian Country deceived Tang Zhenghong, why not divorce?
Instead, divorced now?
"Mom, are you sure you didn’t mishear?" Tang Yue couldn’t help but confirm repeatedly.
"Not wrong."
Zhang Hualian said assuredly, giving her a deep look and saying, "Do you know why they divorced?"
Tang Yue shook her head, unable to figure it out, how could Granny Tang agree?
"Chen Jian Country owed two thousand, borrowed five hundred from Mom, guess what?"
As soon as Zhang Hualian spoke, Tang Yue had an inkling, she said: "Could it be they didn’t repay, but gambled again?"
"Yes."
Zhang Hualian nodded affirmatively saying, "You guess really well, the two thousand were lost, and they owed twenty thousand instead."
"Twenty thousand?" Tang Yue felt something was wrong, she said: "Wasn’t it possible someone deliberately set a trap?"
Otherwise, how could two thousand turn into twenty thousand?
