Chapter 835 My Nephew is an Only Child (38)
"Dad, I've finished high school. Can I stop studying now?"
I want to do business with Sister Chunsheng, and I'm an adult now.
Zhong Xiran says things every day that seem to want Zhong Hui to die. He got into a good university, and now he says he doesn't want to study anymore. Isn't that a bit crazy?
Zhong Hui gripped the cup, trying to calm himself down. "You should go to university. The university you got into is one that many people can't get into. You should cherish this opportunity."
"Dad, I don't think studying is useful."
Zhong Hui did not believe in corporal punishment, but what could he do when his children were disobedient?
Xiong Bufan watched the spectacle with great interest. She thought Zhong Xiran was a bit silly, but she didn't say anything.
Suddenly, someone tugged at the hem of his clothes next to the table. Just as Xiong Bufan was about to snatch the clothes back, he felt a familiar touch next to his hand. It turned out to be Xiong Bufan's favorite money.
Xiong Bufan took the money, put it under his buttocks, and looked at Zhong Hui's outstretched hand.
While Zhong Hui was still chatting and laughing at the dinner table, he started gesturing with Xiong Bufan under the table.
Xiong Bufan looked at the single finger, very dissatisfied, and immediately used his hands to break off a second, a third, a fourth,...
Fearing that Zhong would make him pay for medical expenses if he broke Zhong's finger, Xiong Bufan was very careful when he did it.
Xiong Bufan held an absolute position in his family. Tian Chunsheng noticed that Xiong Bufan had lowered his head, but she didn't pay much attention to it, since it was something she couldn't control anyway.
Zhong Hui didn't expect Xiong Bufan to be so greedy. After breaking the fingers on one hand, he wanted to break the fingers on the other hand as well. He quickly grabbed the cup with his hand, afraid that Xiong Bufan would grab it.
Zhong Xiran was still making excuses when she noticed that Zhong Hui hadn't spoken for a while, so she asked, "Dad, what do you think?"
Zhong Hui: "Ask Doctor Fantastic."
Zhong Xiran looked at Xiong Bufan with hopeful eyes, "Doctor, is it okay if I don't go to school?"
Xiong Bufan: "Either die, go to school, or get beaten up and then go to school. Which do you choose?"
The same question as before left Zhong Xiran unable to smile at all. "Doctor, are there any other options?"
Xiong Bufan said with a righteous expression, "No."
"I choose to go to school."
"I remember having to get a scholarship every semester to support my father."
Zhong Xiran: I refuse.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Hui secretly gave Xiong Bufan a thumbs up. Although this man was greedy, he was quite capable.
Seeing that Xiong Bufan was adamant, Zhong Xiran began to plead for help: "Sister Chunsheng, Dad, please say something for me."
Tian Chunsheng buried her face in the bowl, pretending not to hear. She wouldn't be stupid enough to go against her mother.
Zhong Hui quietly tugged at Xiong Bufan's sleeve again. Xiong Bufan said, "Xi Ran, don't ask around. This is between the two of us."
"Okay, Doctor."
Life is only a hundred or eighty years long, and fifteen years have already been spent studying. Zhong Xiran really can't laugh.
Xiong Bufan had already eaten more than half of the food on the table, and then rang the bell to ask the nanny to serve more dishes.
Xiong Bufan had become so lazy that he would never stand if he could sit, and he would never do things himself if he could order others around.
Zhong Xiran ate his meal, finding it tasteless. He couldn't understand how he had ended up like this. He had only planned to finish high school and then quit, but who knew there would be a university after high school?
Tian Chunsheng gloated from the sidelines, but she was more curious about how much money Zhong Hui had given Xiong Bufan.
After Zhong Xiran went to university, Xiong Bufan would occasionally visit her and eat at the school cafeteria.
Tian Chunsheng opened a branch store on campus, and money kept flowing into his pocket.
When it came time to take the postgraduate entrance exam, they discovered that Zhong Xiran had been recommended to a foreign university.
Zhong Xiran has spent not fifteen years in school, but over twenty years, and yet she has still been exiled.
On the day she left the country, Zhong Xiran cried at the airport as if her own mother had died. "I don't want to go out, I don't want to eat dry bread, and I don't want to drink hot Americano without sugar."
Tian Chunsheng's business has spread to major cities all over the country. Standing at the entrance, he looked annoyed. "Stop howling. Can't you just finish your studies and come back sooner?"
Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, Zhong Xiran gave up and said, "I'm going abroad to unleash my true nature. I'll do whatever I want."
Zhong Hui, who was still charming in her forties, sneered, "Go ahead, anyway, the sooner you finish learning, the sooner you can come back."
"If you delay graduation, you'll just have to stay in exile. I'll cancel your card then and make you work every day to earn your tuition and living expenses."
Zhong Xiran: "Dear Dad, please don't make such jokes. It's not funny."
Tian Chunsheng: "Xiran, I'll be waiting for you to come back during your winter and summer vacations."
"Sister Chunsheng, wait for me to come back~~"
"it is good."
Tian Chunsheng and Zhong Xiran were childhood sweethearts, but Tian Chunsheng did not plan to wait for Zhong Xiran to return and continued to live his life happily.
Xiong Bufan couldn't be bothered with their messy affairs; she preferred watching TV.
Zhong Hui couldn't control it, so he eventually went with the flow. He couldn't even control their studies, let alone anything else.
When Tian Yaozu left the Tian family, he dropped out of school as well, mainly because transferring his school registration was extremely difficult, and besides, Hu Yandie didn't have enough money for him to continue his studies.
It's already very difficult for orphans and widows to support themselves; sending their children to study in other places is a luxury.
At the age of fifteen, Tian Yaozu began to do odd jobs with Hu Yandie. Every time he saw the children coming home from school, he felt a little envious, as he too could have gone to school.
After the two finally gained a foothold, Tian Yaozu was already past the age of going to school and could only attend night school.
Without the support of Tian Dongsheng's family, Tian Yaozu's path was exceptionally difficult. He was cheated while studying, tricked while working, and lived in a drafty and water-deficient rented room in winter.
However, as long as you strive for improvement, things will get better.
At the age of 25, I became the manager of a restaurant called Spring Banquet. My salary increased, and my standard of living improved.
Sometimes, when he looks at the name on the business license, he feels a sense of disorientation. He seems to have a cousin named Tian Chunsheng, but she's a money-loser, and he hasn't seen her for ten years.
Zhong Xiran has returned from abroad, but he brought back a girlfriend with him. He said that the two supported each other and fell in love while abroad, and he hopes that Xiong Bufan and Zhong will give them their blessing.
This was probably the most rebellious tactic Zhong Xiran could come up with.
Zhong Hui had always been quite fond of Tian Chunsheng as his daughter-in-law, mainly because he knew her background well and Tian Chunsheng was very outstanding.
Another point is that Tian Chunsheng is Xiong Bufan's daughter. Xiong Bufan will think twice before taking action against his in-laws next time.
But now it's all been ruined by that rebellious son, Zhong Xiran. Zhong Hui feels that he has spoiled Zhong Xiran too much over the years, making him arrogant and ignorant.
