Chapter 832 My Nephew is an Only Child (35)
Seeing Xiong Bufan eating heartily, Tian Chunsheng tacitly refrained from asking where Xiong Bufan had gone or how he had dealt with Tian Dongsheng.
In this small world, Xiong Bufan is still kind-hearted.
They didn't kill Tian Dongsheng directly, but just dumped him in the suburbs, in the middle of nowhere. Kongkong never expected Xiong Bufan to do this.
Not only is there a cooked meal at home, but also snacks that Tian Chunsheng bought, which have now been moved to the table.
Xiong Bufan was unusually happy to see the food and said a few more words, "You don't need to worry about him coming back. I'm far away, he definitely won't come back."
Tian Chunsheng: "Mom, if I make you unhappy, will you throw me out?"
"Would you be unfilial to your father?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Chunsheng quickly pledged his loyalty, "Mother, I will definitely be filial to you."
"Yeah, I believe you."
Although a big pancake may not fill you up, it can make you happy.
The thing Xiong Bufan least believes right now is what the little brat says.
Tian Chunsheng assured that every word he said was true and sincere.
Hu Yandie waited and waited at home but received no news from Tian Dongsheng, nor did she see him return. There was nothing in the house, and it was freezing cold outside, so she could only wait for Tian Dongsheng to come back.
As a result, Tian Dongsheng never returned to the Tian family home.
There were all sorts of rumors circulating in the village, but most people said that Tian Dongsheng was dead, while a few said that Tian Dongsheng and Wang Qiuqin had gone off to live a different life and would never return to Tianjia Village.
Some things, when said a lot, become so false that they seem to become true in people's minds.
But Hu Yandie still leans towards the idea that Tian Dongsheng abandoned her and Yaozu.
She refused to believe the speculation that she had married two men, both of whom had died far from home.
Tian Yaozu's life has deteriorated sharply. He used to be able to eat meat twice a week and have several eggs, but now he can only eat one chicken leg a week, all of which is earned by Hu Yandie sneaking into his bed at night.
During the Spring Festival, while other families would stew meat, Hu Yandie's family would only have two chicken legs, and no other dishes.
Tian Yaozu was very dissatisfied with the current situation and vented all his resentment on Tian Dongsheng, feeling that he was irresponsible. Sometimes he would resent his father because he died young, which made his mother and him suffer together.
Hu Yandie didn't deliberately guide him. To be honest, if it weren't for the cold weather, she would have taken Tian Yaozu away from here long ago.
After the spring arrived, before the creditors came, Hu Yandie secretly sublet all of Tian Dongsheng's land, cut down and sold a large poplar tree planted in the yard, and tried to rent out the house, but no one wanted to rent it, so she had to give up.
Tian Rongcheng no longer wanted to get involved in Tian Dongsheng's family affairs, and he also ignored Hu Yandie's actions.
After selling everything she could, Hu Yandie took Tian Yaozu on a bus to the county town on a chilly morning. They then transferred to a bus to Beijing and took a train south to work.
"A tree dies when transplanted, but a person thrives," Hu Yandie firmly believed in this saying, and she couldn't possibly stay in that poor, remote place forever to pay off Tian Dongsheng's debts.
Tian Dongsheng went out for a trip, and ended up losing his home and his life.
All of this was irrelevant to Xiong Bufan; she was enjoying her life.
Tian Chunsheng was exceptionally talented at cooking, but he was not academically inclined. He repeated each grade twice during his three years of junior high school and eventually took the high school entrance exam in the same year as Zhong Xiran.
Although he had good grades and was admitted to the same high school as Zhong Xiran, Tian Chunsheng dropped out.
She was already eighteen when she finished junior high school, and she didn't want to waste her time on such meaningless things. She wanted to live a more carefree life.
Xiong Bufan never believed that studying was the only way out, so he did not object to Tian Chunsheng's choice, but simply let her do what she wanted.
In the end, she has to make her own way in the world, and Xiong Bufan can't help her much.
Kongkong had to admit that Xiong Bufan was an enlightened parent.
He was more enlightened than many educators, and there were also those who wouldn't listen to the preaching of laissez-faire governance.
Tian Chunsheng was going to do business in Beijing with his classmates, and Zhong Xiran also wanted to participate, even skipping high school.
Children's rebellious phase can be fierce, even domineering CEOs like Zhong Hui have to avoid it. In the end, he can only reluctantly turn to Xiong Bufan and ask him to help persuade them.
The main reason is that as Zhong Xiran gets older, she admires Xiong Bufan more and more, and now only Xiong Bufan can persuade Zhong Xiran.
"I'll give you a million to let Xiran go back to school."
Upon hearing "one million," Xiong Bufan slightly raised his eyelids and began to make an outrageous demand, "Two million."
"Xiong Bufan, don't try to raise the price. Xiran's lack of education is partly your son Chunsheng's fault."
With a "smack," Xiong Bufan slapped Zhong Hui across the face, leaving a bright red handprint.
To maintain symmetry, Xiong Bufan prepared to go for another round, only to hear Zhong Hui say, "If you hit again, I'll only give you 500,000."
Xiong Bufan reluctantly stopped, remarking that money was indeed a good thing, because it could even cure her obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Chairman Zhong breathed a sigh of relief; he had almost been beaten up again.
"Two million. I'll make sure Zhong Xiran gets back to school. As for how to handle it, don't worry about it."
Thinking of Xiong Bufan's methods, Zhong Hui tentatively said, "Don't cripple him or disfigure him."
Xiong Bufan looked at Zhong Hui and felt that Zhong Xiran was not Zhong Hui's biological son, otherwise why would this person be so ruthless?
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Zhong Xiran has given all her money to Xiong Bufan's family over the years. Now she wants to invest but has no money, so she can only help him out. However, Tian Chunsheng despises Zhong Xiran from the bottom of his heart.
This man is incompetent, penniless, and loves to cause trouble. Whoever marries him will be unlucky.
"Go back to your studies and become my strategist in the future."
Zhong Xiran: "No, I want to stay by your side. We're partners, we should stand together through thick and thin."
Tian Chunsheng: I refuse.
"Answer the phone, hurry up," Xiong Bufan's voice came from Tian Chunsheng's pocket. It turned out that Tian Chunsheng had set Xiong Bufan's voice as the phone ringtone.
Tian Chunsheng answered the phone, "Mom,"
"Come back early today, and remember to call Zhong Xiran back too. I don't want to see you."
Upon hearing her name called, Zhong Xiran happily wandered around Tian Chunsheng, exclaiming, "Did Doctor Fantastic look for me? I'm here!"
Tian Chunsheng covered his phone and said sternly to Zhong Xiran, "Shut up."
"Oh."
After scolding Zhong Xi, Tian Chunsheng turned his attention back to his phone, only to find that Xiong Bufan had already hung up.
Tian Chunsheng kicked Zhong Xiran, saying, "If you mess with me on the phone again, I'll beat you up."
"Okay, okay, shall we go home now?"
"Back."
Xiong Bufan waited quietly at home. Zhong Hui, afraid that Zhong Xiran would find out that she had been there, made up an excuse and left Xiong Bufan's house early.
