My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty-Chapter 71 - No Good Person, Yeah

71 -71: No Good Person, Yeah
Tang Chuxia sighed silently.
She had thought that the daily lives of ordinary people in this era were hard, but when she really saw it for herself, she was still shocked.
It was a kind of hardship that those who lived in times of peace, or those who lived in affluence, simply could not imagine.
Did they not know that clothes patched over patches did not provide warmth?
But scraps of fabric were easy to find, whereas a complete piece of cloth was unaffordable.
Did they not know that only a well-kept room could stay warm?
How could they tidy up without money or the ability?
Did they not know that without food, one would die?
To fill the grain vat, one needed money!
…
Some things, it’s not that they didn’t want to, but they had no way to do it.
Is being poor a sin?
Not at all!
It is the loss of hope to keep living.
If a man’s leg is broken, can he not live on?
It’s the abandonment by his family and the continual destruction of their faith that truly constitute the original sin.
At that moment, Tang Chuxia realized that some people don’t deserve to be called family.
They could be ignorant or foolish, but they should never be conscienceless.
Seeing the two people holding their heads and weeping bitterly, Tang Chuxia did not continue to stand in the room, but quietly went out.
Outside in the yard, she saw the child whom the man had earlier called to help look for his wife.
The child’s clothes did not fit well, and he constantly sniffed, but he showed Tang Chuxia a big smile.
Tang Chuxia returned the smile.
No matter how difficult their lives were, to maintain optimism was something Tang Chuxia admired.
“Here you go!”
Tang Chuxia took out a handful of candies from her bag and handed them to the little boy.
The little boy was afraid to take them.
It must be said that the children of this time were well-educated; even with their eyes filled with desire, they still knew it wasn’t right to take things from others.
“Help me with something, this is for you!”
Tang Chuxia stuffed the candies into the little boy’s hand, squatted down, and said with a smiling face.
The little boy relaxed, his smile became even more brilliant, and he nodded vigorously.
Tang Chuxia pointed to the yard behind her and asked, “Tell me, has anyone been bullying their family?”
The little boy looked to be about eight or nine years old.
In the countryside, children of this age were sensible, gathering lots of information from the conversations of their parents and neighbors.
He took Tang Chuxia to a corner before he said, “Big Head Lady said that Uncle Zhuzi is a cripple and his wife is a hen that doesn’t lay eggs, and that they don’t deserve to have a good life!”
Tang Chuxia was shocked by such blatant malice.
To be honest, she was no saint, nor was she a good person, but even then, she would never interfere with someone else’s life, let alone judge them.
This time, she felt sickened once again.
Seeing the change in Tang Chuxia’s expression, the little boy said, “My mother says that Uncle Zhuzi is a good man; it’s just that he’s too honest.
Good people don’t live long, and his wife is planning to remarry!”
Tang Chuxia rubbed the little boy’s head; he was an honest child.
“Good people live long lives, bad people don’t, little guy, even if you don’t become a good person, don’t be a bad one either!”
She wouldn’t indoctrinate a child with the concept that they must be a good person, but she also wouldn’t let a child lose faith in good people.
When Tang Jianjun arrived with his entourage, he called out to Tang Chuxia, who acknowledged with a grunt and handed a pair of cotton gloves she had in her bag to the little guy. freёwebnoѵel.com
“Am I a good person?”
The little boy nodded vigorously, but Tang Chuxia flicked his forehead, “Remember, I’m not a good person, you know!”
She was about to morph into a villain.
Amid the little boy’s puzzled gaze, Tang Chuxia got up and walked toward Tang Jianjun, but her eyes fell on the old man and the man who came with her second brother.
The old man looked somewhat shrewd, and the man’s eyes were rolling around, obviously full of crafty thoughts.
“Who are these people?”
Curious, Tang Chuxia asked, and Tang Jianjun told her, “That’s Zhuzi’s dad and Zhuzi’s little brother.”
Tang Chuxia raised her eyebrows and smiled, “So it’s Uncle and Young Brother, huh?
How come I think Young Brother doesn’t look much like Uncle?”
Tang Jianjun had no idea what his sister was up to, but he knew Tang Chuxia’s little tricks all too well; for example, when her sweet smile burst forth irresistibly charming, she was definitely up to no good.
Don’t ask why; it’s a sibling’s intuition.
He responded with a half-smile, half-serious tone, “Taking a closer look, they do indeed look different.”
The old man’s face turned awkward, unable to maintain his forced smile.
“The youngest takes after his mother!”
The old man tried to explain.
Tang Chuxia covered her mouth and laughed, “Is that so?
I just don’t know what Big Head Lady looks like.
Young Brother’s features are really distinctive, especially those double eyelids.
Does Big Head Lady also have double eyelids?”
The old man shook his head, “Not at all, our family has single eyelids, only this kid is different!”
Tang Chuxia truly enjoyed this, winking at Tang Jianjun.
Tang Jianjun raised his eyebrows, not understanding what his little sister was up to, sensing her excitement.
Tang Chuxia did indeed have mischief in mind.
“Really?
Uncle, you couldn’t have remembered it wrong, could you?
How could Big Head Lady possibly have single eyelids?”
Uncle Zhuzi was suspicious, but seeing the refined air about Tang Chuxia, still managed to say with a smile, “This child, I’ve been with the old woman for so many years, how could I mistake it, seeing her every day!”
Tang Chuxia covered her mouth, “If I’m not mistaken, Brother Zhuzi and all his siblings have single eyelids, don’t they?”
Uncle Zhuzi burst into laughter, “Isn’t that so?
It’s just the youngest who is good-looking!”
Tang Chuxia nodded vigorously, the man who had been complimented turned red in the face, looking more lecherous.
His gaze towards Tang Chuxia also carried a hint of greed, but he did a poor job hiding it, and Tang Jianjun noticed, almost moving to hit him, but fortunately, Tang Chuxia spotted it in time, grabbing Tang Jianjun by the arm.
“Second Brother, look how Uncle can joke around.
Who doesn’t know that in families where both parents have single eyelids, they never give birth to a child with double eyelids!
Uncle, don’t try to fool me, this good-looking young brother must surely belong to someone else, right?”
Having said that, Tang Jianjun suddenly caught on, his anger subsided for a moment, and he followed up with, “It is indeed so, I’ve heard the doctors talk about this sort of thing before!”
He looked at Uncle Zhuzi, “Uncle, doing good deeds isn’t supposed to be like this, taking in someone else’s child is one thing, but to hand over your own son’s job on a silver platter, not to mention gifting away the new house that Zhuzi worked so hard to build, I reckon there’s no father as generous as you in the world!”
Uncle Zhuzi’s face darkened.
Tang Chuxia wouldn’t let him off, continuing, “Exactly, even my parents adopted a child, but the moment they found out she was treating me poorly, they immediately drove her out!”
She sighed before continuing, “What my parents did is what ordinary people do; they’re incomparable to Uncle!”
Watching the elder’s face turn even more unsightly, she continued, “Second Brother, you must get a plaque honoring Uncle from the communes praising his helpfulness and his good deeds.
This must be celebrated!”
Uncle Zhuzi’s and the lecherous man’s faces both changed.
