The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Zhuang Chaoying was kicked out of home by his parents. No matter how he explained, his parents were still very angry and kept blaming him for being unfilial.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang Ganmei were always sarcastic and added fuel to the fire in front of their parents.

Zhuang Chaoying walked helplessly on the street, and suddenly felt a little desolate. He walked to the alley unknowingly and stood at the door of Huang Ling's house.

"Dad, why are you here?" Zhuang Xiaoting came home after using the toilet and asked her father when she saw him.

"Xiaoting, is your mother at home?" Zhuang Chaoying asked in a hoarse voice, his nose feeling sore.

"My mother is at Aunt Song Ying's place. I'll go call her."

Zhuang Xiaoting asked Zhuang Chaoying to go home first, and then she ran to Song Ying's house next door to call for help.

Zhuang Chaoying sat in his old home, feeling mixed emotions. Two years had passed since he left, and the house hadn't changed much, but the family had broken up.

Huang Ling and Wang Gang returned home quickly, and Huang Ling saw that Zhuang Chaoying was not in a good mood.

"What are you doing here so late?"

"I missed Xiaoting and Tunan, so I came to see them." Zhuang Chaoying said bitterly.

Wang Gang noticed that Zhuang Chaoying's tone was not right, so he asked, "Dad, did you just come from grandpa and grandma's place?"

Zhuang Chaoying said with a bitter face: "Dad and grandma heard that you came back and asked you to go home for dinner."

Wang Gang sneered in his heart and asked, "Did you tell your father and grandmother that you don't agree to change rooms?"

Zhuang Chaoying lowered his head silently and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

Huang Ling sighed and asked, "Did you eat dinner?"

Zhuang Chaoying subconsciously touched his stomach and found that he was indeed a little hungry.

"There are some leftovers at home."

Huang Ling went into the kitchen, took out a plate of food and placed it in front of Zhuang Chaoying.

Zhuang Chaoying felt warm in his heart and picked up the chopsticks and started to eat voraciously.

Wang Gang asked: "Dad, I contacted my tutor today, and he said he can help transfer you to Shanghai to teach at the junior high school of Fudan High School."

Zhuang Chaoying looked up in surprise and asked, "So fast?"

Wang Gang explained: "I gave your resume to the tutor before, and it just so happened that the affiliated high school was expanding its enrollment and was short of tutors, so it was a coincidence.

The instructor said that you are one of the first examiners after the resumption of the college entrance examination, which is a big plus, so there won’t be any problem with your transfer! "

Zhuang Chaoying put down his chopsticks with a heavy heart and didn't speak for a long time.

Huang Ling sneered: "Tunan, don't waste your time. Your father and grandmother will not let your father leave Suzhou."

Zhuang Chaoying said in embarrassment: "When I first mentioned the transfer, my parents reacted strongly. They didn't want me to leave."

Huang Ling snorted coldly: "Of course they don't want you to leave Suzhou, otherwise where can we find such a filial son!"

Zhuang Chaoying felt a chill in his heart when he thought of his parents' attitude just now.

Wang Gang continued: "It's up to you whether to go or not. I plan to wait until Xiaoting finishes high school and then find a chance to transfer her to Shanghai. This will give her an advantage in the college entrance exam."

Zhuang Chaoying looked at Zhuang Xiaoting and asked, "Xiaoting, are you also planning to apply to a school in Shanghai?"

Zhuang Xiaoting nodded and said, "I also want to go to Fudan University, but I'm afraid my grades are not good enough. My brother suggested that I go to Shanghai to take the exam."

Zhuang Chaoying realized that both of her children would stay in Shanghai to develop their careers and would never be able to return to Suzhou.

"Huang Ling, what about you? Will you go to Shanghai in the future?" Zhuang Chaoying stared at his ex-wife with fiery eyes.

"Let's talk about it after I retire!" Huang Ling said ambiguously.

Zhuang Chaoying lowered his head again and said, "You all went to Shanghai, leaving me alone in Suzhou?"

Huang Ling said disdainfully: "Tunan gave you a chance and even arranged a job for you. If you don't want to go, who can you blame?" Zhuang Chaoying gritted his teeth and said: "But my parents don't agree to let me go."

Huang Ling said sarcastically: "You are really a good son to your parents. After so many years, you still don't understand. They just treat you as a blood bag to supply blood to Zhuang Ganmei."

Zhuang Chaoying was puzzled and asked: "Blood bag, what does it mean?"

Wang Gang explained: "Dad, my father and grandmother want you to stay in Suzhou, they just want to continue to take advantage of you and subsidize Uncle San."

Zhuang Chaoying clenched his fists and said, "I know, but they are my parents after all, your father and grandmother!"

Wang Gang continued: "I have never been against filial piety. Just like you and mom are divorced, but you are still my father. I have never thought of cutting off contact with you."

Zhuang Chaoying was moved and said: "I know you are a good child."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "But I think filial piety should be differentiated in importance. I will not sacrifice my future for the sake of filial piety.

Dad, you wouldn't stop me from going to Shanghai to study just to keep me by your side, would you? "

Zhuang Chaoying said as a matter of course: "Of course!"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "But some people don't think so, like Uncle Wu's family next door, they almost didn't let Wu Shanshan take the college entrance examination."

Zhuang Chaoying didn't know what had happened to Wu Shanshan. Only after Zhuang Xiaoting told him did he understand the whole story.

"Old Wu is so confused! Not to mention that it is illegal to replace someone else in school, why did he stop Wu Shanshan from taking the college entrance examination?" Zhuang Chaoying asked in confusion.

Huang Ling said coldly: "Do you think Wu Jianguo is stupid? He is smarter than anyone else. This time, Zhang A-mei was used as a gun by him."

The more Zhuang Chaoying listened, the more confused he became.

"Wu Shanshan is Old Wu's biological daughter. Why would he want to ruin his daughter's future?!"

Wang Gang said: "I didn't understand it at first, but later when I heard that Zhang A-mei wanted Wu Shanshan to write a pension guarantee, I finally understood Uncle Wu's plan."

Zhuang Chaoying was puzzled and asked, "Isn't it the duty of Wu Shanshan to provide for her father's retirement?"

Huang Ling said disdainfully: "There is no such thing as right or wrong in this world. If Wu Shanshan really goes to Shanghai and doesn't come back and doesn't support him in his old age, what can Old Wu do?"

Wang Gang explained: "Uncle Wu also knows that Wu Shanshan has suffered a lot of grievances at home since she was a child, and she doesn't have deep feelings for him. As for Zhang A-mei, he doesn't have any good feelings for her at all.

Uncle Wu's idea is that his children are too capable to keep around, and if they are incompetent, they will become a burden to him, so he plotted against his own daughter. "

Zhuang Chaoying gradually understood and said, "Old Wu is worried that Wu Shanshan is not capable, and even more worried that she is too capable and can't be retained? So he stopped Wu Shanshan from taking the college entrance examination and forced her to write a pension guarantee letter?"

Huang Ling nodded and said, "Old Wu was always calculating. In order to marry Zhang A-mei, he even worked overtime for a month at the factory, making people think that he was hardworking and diligent. In fact, he was more cunning and treacherous than anyone else!

After Zhang A-mei came into the family, Old Wu became a hands-off boss and pushed all the responsibility of raising the children onto Zhang A-mei. He lived a carefree life and turned a blind eye when his son and daughter were bullied by Zhang A-mei.

On the surface, Wu Jianguo seems to be weak and henpecked, but in reality he only loves himself and doesn’t care about his children’s lives at all. He is extremely selfish.”

Zhuang Chaoying opened his mouth in surprise. He really couldn't imagine that Wu Jianguo, who looked honest, would be the kind of person Huang Ling described.

Wang Gang continued: "In principle, Grandpa and Grandma are the same kind of people as Wu Jianguo."

Zhuang Chaoying said unhappily: "Tunan, they are still your father and grandmother!"

Huang Ling said disdainfully: "Do you really think your parents are loving parents? They are no less calculating than Wu Jianguo! You and Zhuang Ganmei have been calculated by them all these years!"

Zhuang Chaoying was surprised and asked, "When did my parents plan to catch up with the United States?"

Huang Ling snorted coldly: "I didn't understand it before, but after divorcing you, I slowly figured it out.

They chose Zhuang Ganmei to take care of them in their old age, and they were worried that they would be bullied by their son and daughter-in-law, so they kept holding on to you."

Wang Gang added: "Dad, because you are here, Uncle San is not the only choice for old-age care, and he and Aunt San will be good to Grandma and Dad.

In other words, your father and grandmother have already understood your and your uncle's personalities. They know that your uncle is selfish and you are foolishly filial. But they chose to take care of your selfish uncle in his old age, which is the deepest calculation against you!

You are not only their bargaining chip to contain Uncle San, but also their spare tire. "(End of this chapter)
