The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

Chapter 468 - "We've always taught her to help others." (3)

Speaking of Fang Wanyuan was the male lead in the novel. Perhaps it was because of the butterfly effect brought about by her transmigration, Tong Zhenzhen and Fang Wanyuan’s paths never crossed. Now its looking even less likely that the two would be together.

So who was it that was helping out Tong Zhenzhen?

***

By the time she got home, Tong Mianmian was already asleep.

She carried Tong Mianmian home after updating the Wei family with the latest situation.

Tong Jiaming had already cleaned up the blood inside the house and Tong Xuelu praised both her brothers.

Tong Mianmian woke up in the middle of the night crying and started running low-grade fever.

Tong Xuelu quickly gave her some medication and got her back to sleep.

The next day, Tong Xuelu went to work with black circles under her eyes and she yawned all day long.

The Tong family at the General Logistic compound was rejoicing like it was the new year at this very moment.

Tong Zhenzhen was surrounded by her family members as she walked inside the compound. Others also went to join the crowd as they saw Tong Zhenzhen walking in.

“You are back, Zhenzhen. I read about you saving the others on the newspaper, Zhenzhen. You are such a brave soul!”

“I’ve read it too. You are like a living Lei Feng. We are all very proud of you!”

“What were you thinking at the time? The torrent was so strong at the time. Were you not afraid?”

Tong Zhenzhen smiled and said humbly, “All I could think about at the time was to save the mother and son when they were about to be swept away by the water. I really didn’t think about anything else.”

Truth was all of these were in the newspaper, but everyone asked them over and over again repeatedly. It was as though they would not be satisfied until they’ve heard it out of Tong Zhenzhen’s mouth.

Tong Zhenzhen was very humble in her demeaner and didn’t see impatient at all.

Her attitude left others with an even better impression.

“Zhenzhen is truthly beautiful and kind. We as a group should really praise her for such selfless behavior!”

“I agree. We should definitely make sure everyone had heard about her selfless act!”

“Aunty Tong, you are so lucky to have such a child.”

Mother Tong was so happy that her face was red when she heard the others’ words. “Oh, she’s alright. This is her duty. We’ve always taught her to help those in needs since she was a child.”

Since she was a child.

Many noticed her word choice but, given the current situation, nobody wanted to say that out loud.

The crowd surrounded Tong Zhenzhen for a long while before they disbanded.

Back at the Tong’s, Tong Zhenzhen was surrounded by others like the moon was surrounded by the stars.

Cai Chunlan poured her a glass of water personally. “Zhenzhen, you must be thirsty with all the talking that you’ve done. Here, have some water.”

Tong Zhenzhen was filled with pride but she maintained her humble smile on the outside. “Thank you, Second Sister-in-law. I am quite thirsty.”

Cai Chunlan gave Chen Yueling a complacent look and said, “Then hurry up and have some water. I’ll get you more if you need.”

Chen Yueling said nothing and Manager Tong was not happy about that. “Why are you just standing there? Didn’t you see that Zhenzhen is back? Hurry up and go get some meat dishes from the canteen.”

Chen Yueling said, “Mom, it’s not time for dinner yet.”

Manager Tong wanted to yell at her some more but Tong Zhenzhen interjected, “Mom, I’m not hungry yet. Sister-in-law can go later.”

Chen Yueling was surprised that Tong Zhenzhen had spoken up for her.

Seeing that Tong Zhenzhen was nice to Chen Yueling, Cai Chunlan quickly flattered her, “As the saying goes, like mother like daughter. If it wasn’t for that Tong Xuelu accusing our Zhenzhen, she would never end up at the ranch.”

With that, the living room plunged into silence for a few seconds.

That reminded Manager Tong about that time when she was badmouthing Tong Xuelu and was overheard. “Why did you bring her up again out of the blue?”

Cai Chunlan pushed her lips out and said, “Mom, I’m mad. She was the culprit for Zhenzhen being sent to the ranch while she had all sorts of good food at the restaurant as the manager. Had it not be Zhenzhen who made herself stood out, we would still the laughingstock.”

A poisonous look of jealousy flashed past Tong Zhenzhen’s eyes but she said, “Let’s let bygone be bygone. It was all a misunderstanding. I don’t hate Xuelu anymore so there no need to talk about the past anymore.”

Everyone was shocked to hear that from Tong Zhenzhen. They felt that she was now a completely different person.

Cai Chunlan asked carefully, “You really don’t hate Tong Xuelu anymore?”

Tong Zhenzhen shook her head. “I’ve never hated her before. I was just upset at the situation at the time. True with, we were meant to meet each other. I hope we can become friends later on.”

Everyone, “……”
