Rebirth in 1980: I pretend to be a pig, eat the tiger and marry the chief

As she spoke, she opened the bundle and saw a pile of broken glass and various pickled vegetables in soup.

Mother Jin was so distressed: "Xiaoyue loves my kimchi the most. I brought it specially for her and wanted to share it with everyone. I didn't expect it to be wasted like this!"

Seeing this, Tang's mother said, "It's okay. It should be edible after washing it."

Yan Jingning said quickly: "Mom, this tiny piece of glass is not easy to find. If it gets into the stomach, it will be fatal."

Mother Jin hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Then throw it away..."

Jin's mother's eyes were red. She came from far away, and her family didn't have much to offer except these pickles. But it ended up like this. She felt so ashamed.

Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Aunt, it's okay. We have everything at home. You can pickle more here, and Sister Xiaoyue and all of us can share some!"

In fact, Jin Yue has always been quite nervous. When her parents came to visit, she brought some pickles. The Tang family has everything, and she was afraid of being disliked and looked down upon.

Tang Zheng's words made her feel warm inside.

Tang's mother also said, "Sister, I think this is a good idea. I would like to learn the skill of pickling kimchi from you."

Mother Jin was also happy to hear this: "Oh, OK, OK, then I will pickle more and let everyone have a taste."

Father Jin had been silent the whole time, but now he spoke up: "I'm not bragging. Although this thing is not worth much, my wife's skill in pickling kimchi is superb. When the weather is good over there, we sell it, and many people praise it after eating it!"

After hearing this, Tang's mother said, "Really? When it's ready, we all have to try it!"

So, the next day, the family prepared various ingredients and containers for Jinmu to pickle kimchi.

While busy, Jin's mother explained to Tang's mother the key points of making pickles.

Xiaoyue helped pick and wash vegetables.

Tang Zheng coaxed the little kids and taught them about vegetables.

"This is beans... this is cucumber... this is carrot..."

Tang's mother smiled and praised Jin's mother: "Old sister, you are really clever and skillful. Xiaoyue is lucky to have a mother like you."

Mother Jin paused and gave a bitter smile, "Not really. It's us who are a burden to her. Our family is poor and we don't have money to send her to school. Since she started high school, she has earned her own tuition by digging herbs, catching scorpions, picking mushrooms, picking pine cones, collecting firewood, cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of the paralyzed old man in bed. She does all the hard work."

Tang's mother was a little surprised. She had never heard Jin Yue talk about these things with Tang Wenli.

In fact, when she saw Xiaoyue for the first time, Tang's mother thought she was a city girl and her family was well-off.

It is not easy for a country kid to earn his own tuition to go to high school and college.

When she said this, Jin's mother's eyes turned red: "My family is incompetent. I thought she would be able to relax after finding a job and getting a salary, but my family is not doing well... Alas..."

Tang's mother patted Jin's mother on the back and said, "Old sister, this is not your fault. Everyone wants to live a good life."

Jin Yue also choked up and said, "Mom, don't say that. You and Dad gave birth to me and raised me, so it's my duty to take care of you."

Although Jin Yue suffered a lot, until now, she is particularly grateful to the old couple.

In the countryside, boys are favored over girls. Girls are responsible for washing clothes, cooking, and taking care of the daily life of the whole family. When they are sixteen or seventeen years old, their families will take the betrothal gifts and sell them.

It is a very honorable thing for a girl to go to junior high school.

Although the old couple did not have the money to support Jinyue to go to high school and college, they did not force her to drop out of school and get married, nor did they force her to work like a slave for the family. This was already very rare.

Looking at her grown-up daughter, Jin's mother hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind and said, "Big sister, I know what you are worried about. You are just afraid that our family will drag you down!

Don't worry, we are not that kind of people. When Jin Yuezhen marries Wen Li, we can't give her anything good as a dowry, but we won't touch a penny of his betrothal gift and bride price, and we will give them all back to you.

From now on, let my disappointing son take care of any family matters, and won’t involve Xiaoyue and your family!"

These words really touched Tang's mother's heart.

Tang's mother was not afraid that Xiaoyue's family was not well off, but she was afraid that the Jin family were vampires and a bottomless pit.

In fact, the Tang family has already had a good impression of Jin Yue's parents, and Tang's mother is also thinking about the engagement, but she is just worried about the betrothal gifts and the bride price.

"Old sister, don't say that. Let's all put ourselves in their shoes!"

After hearing what Mother Tang said, Mother Jin wiped away her tears and nodded repeatedly.

The people in the house were talking when suddenly a dog barked outside. Tang Zheng looked outside and saw a black car parked at the door. When the door opened, he saw Ms. Wei's gloomy face.

Tang's mother thought she was seeing things. How did Ms. Wei come all the way from Beijing to Huayang, and even arrived at her doorstep?

Tang Zheng knew the purpose of Ms. Wei's visit. She asked Sister Dou and Sister Ding to look after the children, and then said to Tang's mother, "Mom, you guys stay in the room. I'll go out and take a look."

After she finished speaking, she walked out the door.

As soon as Ms. Wei entered the yard, she saw Tang Zheng. Her expression instantly became so ugly that it was beyond description: "Tang Canyang!"

Tang Zheng heard her calling his name with gritted teeth, and a smile crossed his lips: "Ms. Wei, are you here to call me to task?"

Ms. Wei gritted her teeth, stepped forward quickly, raised her hand and slapped Tang Zheng.

The slap was very solid, and Tang Zheng didn't even think about dodging it.

In the room, Tang's mother was distressed and was about to go out to vent her anger for Tang Zheng, but Xiaoyue grabbed her and said, "Don't go. Tang'er just told us to stay in the room."

Tang's mother is no match for Ms. Wei. Her going out will only escalate the conflict between Ms. Wei and Tang Zheng. Besides, Tang's mother is not in good health, so why should she ask for trouble?

Ms. Wei slapped Tang Zheng, but she was still not satisfied. She said viciously, "Tell me, how could you be so vicious that you caused Boen to go to jail!"

Tang Zheng rubbed his face and looked at Ms. Wei with a half-smile. "You are so young, how come your brain is not working well? Wei Boen went to jail because he deserved it. What does it have to do with me? Did I instruct him to cheat, evade taxes, and kill people?"

"You are talking nonsense. You must be trying to harm him and slander him!" Ms. Wei looked at Tang Zheng and became more and more disgusted. "I'm telling you, get Bourne out for me, and we'll forget about this matter. From now on, we'll go our separate ways. I'll pretend that I don't have a daughter like you, and you don't have a mother like me!"

Tang Zheng sneered: "We have done an appraisal, there is no blood relationship between you and me, how dare you say that?"

Ms. Wei's face froze. Xiao Beiqi had indeed taken an appraisal before, saying that she and Tang Zheng had no relationship, but later it was left unresolved.

Ms. Wei thought that Tang Zheng did not believe that the two people were not related by blood, or that Xiao Beiqi's appraisal was true or false.

Unexpectedly, Tang Zheng brought this up again at this time.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are the one I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy!"
