The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang was also at a loss with his younger brother, Tang Zhenmin. The boy had been spoiled by his parents, Tang and his wife, since he had a heart condition. He only knew how to play all day long and had no interest in working.

I thought he would mature a bit after marrying Liu Xiaoling, but unfortunately, old habits die hard.

Tang Zhenmin's job was arranged by Wang Gang through connections, but unfortunately he didn't cherish it, and there was nothing Wang Gang could do about it.

“Mom and Dad, I really can’t do anything about Zhenmin’s job. If he continues to be so irresponsible, he’ll never be able to do any job well.” Wang Gang had already decided to leave Tang Zhenmin alone, but he still wanted to tell his parents.

Old Tang knew his youngest son's temperament and sighed, "Youmin, it's tough on you. I'll think of a way to get Zhenmin's job!"

Wang Gang glanced at Tang Zhenmin, then turned and left the Tang family home.

As for the relationship between Tang Zhenmin and Liu Xiaoling, Wang Gang couldn't be bothered to care.

As soon as Wang Gang left, Liu Xiaoling and Tang Zhenmin had an even bigger argument. Later, according to He Jiawen, Liu Xiaoling even ran back to her parents' home, and her son Tang Jike was left unattended, directly abandoned to Old Master Tang and his wife.

Old Tang wanted Tang Zhenmin to bring Liu Xiaoling back, but he had no intention of giving in to Liu Xiaoling, and the couple remained deadlocked.

During this period, Tang Weimin and He Jiali tried to mediate between their younger siblings, but the results were mediocre.

Tang Zhenmin continued dancing and chasing girls as usual, and Liu Xiaoling was no pushover either. For every move Tang Zhenmin made, she would make the same one. The couple was practically headed for divorce.

Wang Gang was completely disappointed in his younger brother and left him to fend for himself.

It was July 1991, and the weather was getting hot. He Jia Huan had been working in Huainan for half a year.

When He Jiawen came home from get off work that day, he excitedly said to Wang Gang, "Guess who I ran into on the street?"

Wang Gang said, "How could I possibly have guessed that?"

He Jiawen laughed and said, "On my way home from get off work, I ran into Jia Huan. She was with a man at the time."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Didn't Fourth Sister say she didn't want a man? Or did she finally give in and start dating?"

He Jiawen said happily, "That man looks much older than Jia Huan, but he looks quite honest. I wonder if he's her boyfriend?"

Wang Gang asked curiously, "Didn't you ask?"

He Jiawen shook his head and said, "I saw them from afar and didn't go to say hello, but judging from how affectionate they were, they must be dating."

Wang Gang said, "If Fourth Sister doesn't bring it up herself, you shouldn't ask about it."

He Jiawen rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, I'm not stupid."

He Jiawen laughed as he spoke, saying, "Speaking of which, I was worried that Jia Huan wouldn't be able to find a partner, but I didn't expect her to make such a quick move."

Wang Gang sighed and said, "I'm not worried about Fourth Sister. She's good-looking and well-educated, and she'll definitely have no shortage of suitors."

Now I'm more worried about my younger brother and your fifth sister.

He Jiawen frowned and asked, "Are Tang Zhenmin and Liu Xiaoling still having a falling out?"

Wang Gang said, "Yes! They've been making a fuss for months, and neither of them is willing to back down. It's been tough on my parents who have to take care of their child."

He Jiawen complained, "These two are really making a scene. No matter how much a couple argues, they can't completely ignore their child! Yangyang is still so young!"

Wang Gang said, "My younger brother has been unreliable and irresponsible since he was a child. I have no way to deal with him. I'm afraid he will have to suffer a bit before he can grow up."

He Jiawen also sighed, "Liu Xiaoling is the same. Among the six of us sisters, she is the most lively, active, and impulsive."

Wang Gang discussed with He Jiawen, "Here's what I'm thinking: let's bring Yangyang over and take care of him for a few days, so my parents can have an easier time too."

He Jiawen's eyes lit up and he said, "Great! That's exactly what I was thinking. Ever since Xiaoya started school, I haven't been used to the sound of children at home."

Wang Gang knew that He Jiawen wanted a child, so he decided to bring his younger brother's son back to raise for a while.

Firstly, it would alleviate the pressure on their parents, and secondly, it would help He Jiawen relieve his boredom.

To Wang Gang's utter surprise, no sooner had he brought Tang Jike home than Tang Zhenmin and Liu Xiaoling went to file for divorce. By the time both families found out, they had already taken the divorce certificates home.

When Lao Tang saw Tang Zhenmin's divorce certificate, he was so angry that he almost collapsed. Fortunately, Wang Gang rushed home after hearing about it.

Tang Zhenmin viewed marriage as a game and didn't think divorce was a big deal at all.

"Dad, don't get agitated. I'm already divorced, so try to take it easy," Tang Zhenmin said carelessly.

"I'll beat you to death."

Old Tang pulled out his belt, really wanting to beat his son to vent his anger, but he forgot his age.

"Dad, you really can't get excited, be careful your blood vessels don't burst." Wang Gang quickly stopped Old Tang.

As he got older, Old Tang was diagnosed with high blood pressure.

Old Tang clutched his chest and angrily said to Tang Zhenmin, "Get out of here, the farther the better."

Tang Zhenmin was kicked out of his home. He originally planned to stay at his elder brother Tang Weimin's house for two days, but Wang Gang called Tang Weimin in advance.

Tang Weimin did not take in his younger brother and kicked him out of the house.

It was only then that Tang Zhenmin realized he might have gone too far.

Homeless Tang Zhenmin wanted to wait until his parents calmed down before going home, but his parents, Old Master Tang and Granny Tang, threw his clothes out, clearly indicating that they did not want to acknowledge him as their son.

On the other side, Liu Xiaoling wasn't doing much better. She carried her luggage and divorce certificate back to her parents' home, almost driving He Changsheng crazy.

He was so angry that he fainted upon seeing his daughter's divorce certificate and was rushed to the hospital by Liu Meixin.

He Changsheng stayed in the hospital for two days before returning home once his condition stabilized.

Liu Meixin scolded Liu Xiaoling, calling her willful and reckless for divorcing her family without even informing them.

Later, Liu Meixin went to the Tang family to try to salvage her daughter's marriage, only to find out that Tang Zhenmin had already been kicked out of the house.

When Lao Tang and Tang Pozi met Liu Meixin, they felt somewhat guilty.

"Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, it's all because I didn't know how to raise my son."

"This isn't the time to talk about these things. Did you really kick Tang Zhenmin out?" Liu Meixin asked.

“Yes, I’ll just consider it as having one less son,” Old Tang said coldly.

"What about Yangyang?" Liu Mei asked anxiously.

"Yangyang is temporarily being cared for by Youmin and Jiawen," said Old Tang. "If Xiaoling wants to take the child back, we have no objection."

Liu Meixin frowned and asked, "Doesn't Tang Zhenmin want a son?"

Tang Pozi snorted coldly, "This is what makes us most angry. That brat Tang Zhenmin doesn't want to take care of the child at all. When he heard that the child was sent to his second brother's house, he was so happy that he said he was finally free!"

Old Master Tang sighed deeply, "What a misfortune for our family! Youmin used to say that I spoiled Tang Zhenmin, and now I realize it was all my fault!"

Liu Meixin's face darkened as she realized that her daughter's marriage was beyond saving.

"Mother-in-law, when are you planning to take Yangyang away?" Granny Tang asked.

"I need to go home and ask Liu Xiaoling."

Liu Meixin did not immediately agree to take the child away, mainly because she was a divorced woman with a child, and she wondered how she would remarry in the future.

Now that things have come to this, Liu Meixin needs to think about her daughter's future! (End of Chapter)
