The heavens set sail from the courtyard

In the end, Zhuang Chaoying asked Huang Ling to borrow 500 yuan.

Huang Ling didn't want to borrow money at first, but later she softened her heart and transferred the money to Zhuang Chaoying.

Zhuang Chaoying said that he would pay back the money as soon as possible, but Huang Ling knew that the money could not be paid back in a short time.

In order to save Zhuang Ganmei, the banker collected 5,000 yuan, which was not a small amount of money. When Zhuang Ganmei was released, the machinery factory directly fired him.

Zhuang Ganmei lost his job and his family had no savings, so the burden of making a living fell entirely on Zhuang Ganmei's wife, who naturally did not want to do this.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang felt sorry for their younger son and only exploited their older son Zhuang Chaoying even more, so he would not be able to pay back the 500 yuan in a short period of time.

Although Huang Ling knew the truth, she still lent the money, so Wang just said that she was soft-hearted.

According to Wang Gang's calculations, it is impossible for the Zhuang family to not come up with 5,000 yuan. Zhuang's father and mother have worked all their lives, and have been sucking blood from Zhuang Chaoying for more than ten years, so their savings must be at least 4,000 yuan.

Zhuang's father and mother were reluctant to pay, so they passed the pressure onto Zhuang Chaoying, but Zhuang Chaoying just fell for it, and Wang Gang was helpless.

However, Zhuang Ganmei thought that the matter was over, but he was overthinking it too simply, because his troubles were still to come!

After Zhuang Ganmei was fired from the factory, it was not easy for her to find another job.

At the beginning, Zhuang Ganmei replaced his mother's job and entered the factory. He was uneducated and had no skills at all.

Now that she has been fired from the factory and her reputation has been ruined, no one wants Zhuang Ganmei anywhere she goes, and her neighbors always gossip about her behind her back. Over time, Zhuang Ganmei's temper becomes worse and worse.

At the beginning, Zhuang Ganmei only lost her temper at her two sons. Whenever the two brothers Zhuang Zhendong and Zhuang Zhenbei did not perform well in the exams, Zhuang Ganmei would take the opportunity to lose her temper and beat or scold her sons.

Zhuang's father and mother tried to try to stop him at first, but when Zhuang Ganmei got angry, he didn't care about anyone and even his parents couldn't stop him.

As the time of unemployment increased, Zhuang Ganmei's temper became more and more irritable. Later, if his wife spent a little money, he would scold her.

Zhuang Ganmei's wife was not a person who could be easily dealt with either. She would never indulge Zhuang Ganmei, and the couple soon started arguing with each other, and the situation even escalated to physical contact.

Once, Zhuang Ganmei slapped his wife in the face and sent her back to her parents' home.

It doesn't matter if the wife goes back to her parents' home, but the problem is that the banker's family now relies entirely on the salary of Zhuang Ganmei's wife. If she leaves, there will be no food to eat at home.

The Zhuang family was in a mess now and had no intention of occupying Huang Ling's house. In the end, Zhuang Ganmei had no choice but to do odd jobs, earning only a few dollars a month, which was barely enough to make a living.

Zhuang's parents wanted to let Zhuang Chaoying subsidize their younger son, but Zhuang Chaoying is now in a difficult situation. Not only is his family broken up, he has no savings and owes a huge sum of 500 yuan. He no longer has the ability to subsidize his parents.

As for Zhuang Hualin, her conditions were not good either. Although her husband was transferred from Guizhou to Suzhou, he could not find a job because he had no academic qualifications. He could only repair bicycles outside to barely earn some money.

Fortunately, his son Xiang Pengfei is sensible and considerate of his parents. Not only does he rush to do housework at home, but he also helps his father repair bicycles after school.

Unfortunately, Xiang Pengfei was not a good student. Although Zhuang Chaoying sometimes helped him with his studies, his grades were still mediocre. He could only get into the affiliated middle school in the junior high school entrance examination. Although he went to high school, it was hard to say whether he could be admitted to university in the future.

On the contrary, Lin Dongzhe has been full of energy since he confessed his love to Zhuang Xiaoting. His mind is full of thoughts about getting into Fudan University. He studies very seriously. His grades improved by leaps and bounds in his third year of junior high school, and his score even exceeded the passing line of No. 1 Middle School.

On the day when the high school entrance examination results came out, Lin Dongzhe immediately called Zhuang Xiaoting and expressed his desire to go to Shanghai for two days during the summer vacation.

Zhuang Xiaoting couldn't make up her mind and could only discuss it with her mother.

Huang Ling was not unkind, she was just afraid that Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting were young and could not control themselves. After careful consideration, she agreed. However, she made three rules with Zhuang Xiaoting: when Lin Dongzhe came to Shanghai, they were not allowed to be alone together.

Zhuang Xiaoting immediately made the promise and took Xie Lingling back home to live with her during the summer vacation.

During the second half of his graduate studies, Wang Gang was recommended by the school to study abroad in Cambridge, England. He could not return in a short period of time and could only communicate with Xie Lingling through letters.

Xie Lingling sometimes came to visit Huang Ling and Zhuang Xiaoting. The three women got along better and better, and Huang Ling liked her future daughter-in-law more and more. Since Huang Ling took over Wang Gang's company, she became busier and busier, and began to be more adept at it, gradually showing the demeanor of a strong woman.

The company has Wang Gang remotely controlling the general direction, and Huang Ling managing daily affairs. The business is getting better and better, with annual sales exceeding 200,000 and profits of about 30%.

Huang Ling was getting better and better in Shanghai, but Zhuang Chaoying was the opposite. His life in Suzhou could only be described as torment. Every time he woke up in the middle of the night, he regretted choosing his parents and not going to Shanghai with Huang Ling.

There is no medicine for regret in the world, and Zhuang Chaoying can only swallow the bitter fruit. Fortunately, Wang Gang is getting more and more successful, and Zhuang Chaoying can also feel comforted.

Two years later, Wang Gang finally completed his studies at Cambridge, obtained a master's degree in law, and returned home with honor. Zhuang Chaoying called him and asked him to make sure to return to Suzhou.

After much consideration, Wang Gang decided to take Zhuang Xiaoting back with him. Huang Ling had to take care of the company and didn't want to see Zhuang Chaoying, so she didn't go back with them.

Suzhou Bus Station.

Wang Gang, wearing a well-fitting suit and carrying a small luggage bag, got out of the car and turned around to help his sister Zhuang Xiaoting get out.

Zhuang Xiaoting has grown into a big girl now. She is over 1.7 meters tall. Wearing short-heeled leather shoes, she stands out even among men!

"Tunan, Xiaoting."

Wang Gang heard a shout and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a little old man in a white shirt running towards him.

"Dad?!" Zhuang Xiaoting almost didn't dare to recognize Zhuang Chaoying when she saw him!

I haven't seen him for almost three years. Zhuang Chaoying looks unusually old, with a lot of white hair. He is only in his forties, but looks like he is in his fifties or sixties!

Zhuang Chaoying was very happy to see her two children. Although their temperaments had changed greatly, their appearances had not changed much.

Looking at his children who are taller than himself, Zhuang Chaoying said with relief: "Tunan, Xiaoting, you have grown up!"

Wang Gang said calmly: "Dad, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to pick me up?"

Zhuang Chaoying smiled and said, "It's summer vacation now. We have nothing to do. Let's go! Dad and grandma are waiting for us at home."

Zhuang Xiaoting felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. Wang Gang held her hand and said to Zhuang Chaoying: "Dad, Xiaoting and I have to go somewhere first. We can't go to grandpa and grandma's house now!"

Zhuang Chaoying paused and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Where else are you going? Your grandma has prepared a large table of food for you guys to eat when you go back!"

Just as Wang was about to explain, a middle-aged man in his early forties came over.

"Teacher Zhuang!"

Zhuang Chaoying thought someone was calling him, so he turned around subconsciously and confirmed that he did not know the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man walked past Zhuang Chaoying and came to Wang Gang in two steps. He said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Zhuang. I am Jiang Wenxu, the vice president of Suzhou Publishing House. When I heard that you were going back to Suzhou, our president was very happy all night."

Wang Gang shook hands with Jiang Wenxu and said politely: "President Jiang, you are too polite. You can just call me by my name. I cannot take on the responsibility of being your teacher.

I was just about to go to the publishing house. I didn’t expect you to come over.”

Jiang Wenxu said politely: "Teacher Zhuang, we have arranged a car. Please move a few steps. The car is parked outside."

Wang Gang smiled and said, "You are too polite."

Jiang Wenxu said seriously: "It is our honor that Mr. Zhuang can give the Chinese version of Harry Potter to our publishing house." (End of this chapter)
