CHAPTER 263: CHAPTER 263: SECOND BROTHER COMES HOME

Elder Huang didn’t come, and Tang Chuxia didn’t continue causing trouble either.

Perhaps for the rest of their life, the habitual thief would not dare to steal again, definitely developing psychological trauma.

Even if they wanted to steal, they would be physically incapable because Tang Chuxia dislocated the tendons in their wrist. They could use their hand normally, but if they tried to perform any skillful actions, the tendons would become chaotic, causing so much pain they would wish to chop their hand off.

This fundamentally solved the possibility of them continuing as a habitual thief.

But before Tang Chuxia could leave, the child’s parents arrived, hastily kowtowing to her with the child in their arms.

It really frightened Tang Chuxia, and it scared the child as well.

The child pouted, not daring to make a sound, clinging to their mother’s neck without letting go.

Tang Chuxia exchanged a few polite remarks, somewhat embarrassed; the scolding earlier was quite harsh, not directed at the child, but it had still scared them.

The child didn’t dare look at Tang Chuxia, but when Tang Chuxia moved to help the child’s mother up, the child cried, "Auntie, I’m not a bastard, I’m my dad’s child!"

Tang Chuxia: -_-||

Of course she knew.

The child’s mother was completely embarrassed, hastily trying to explain, while Tang Chuxia waved her hands repeatedly.

At this point, she felt like crying; what she had sown, she now reaped.

The child’s father soothed the child, "Auntie didn’t mean that, she was angry at the bad guy!"

The child didn’t care about that, only remembering that Tang Chuxia called them a bastard, a child of sin.

"Dad, you didn’t marry auntie, right? I only have one mom, right? I don’t want you to change my mom!!!"

The child cried so hard, they almost lacked oxygen; Tang Chuxia had no choice but to cover her face and run.

So embarrassing.

Gu Beihuai followed behind her, "The consequences of a sharp tongue!"

Tang Chuxia stopped and glared at him, "Whose fault is it that I ended up acting like this? Like a shrew just now, am I without shame?"

Gu Beihuai fell silent.

Thinking carefully, it seemed it was his impulsiveness.

"I was once a soldier, I shouldn’t stand by and watch someone die!"

He had just finished speaking when he saw Tang Chuxia’s face turn dark, so he quickly added, "Of course, I did assess that I could handle it without problems before getting involved!"

Tang Chuxia still didn’t say anything, just staring at him.

Gu Beihuai felt somewhat guilty; he reached out to touch Tang Chuxia’s forehead but she dodged it, still looking at him with puffed cheeks.

Gu Beihuai was completely at a loss.

"I won’t tell your family about what happened, is that okay?" Gu Beihuai’s words made Tang Chuxia grunt in response, "That’s just one minor reason."

Gu Beihuai rubbed his face, unsure what else Tang Chuxia might think of.

Listening to her speak again, "There’s another condition, if you recklessly risk your life again, I’ll never let you off!"

Gu Beihuai laughed, "What, are you actually worried about me?"

Tang Chuxia poked his chest, "Nonsense, you’re the one I put so much effort into saving from the Grim Reaper. If you dare not take care of yourself, I definitely won’t let you off!"

Gu Beihuai took hold of her fingers, "Alright!"

Tang Chuxia looked at her fingers being held, not speaking for a long time.

Half an hour later, Gu Beihuai gritted his teeth and asked, "Now that we’re finished with my issues, let’s talk about that remarriage thing you mentioned before!"

Tang Chuxia shook off Gu Beihuai’s hand and ran away directly.

She wasn’t stupid, staying there would definitely result in Gu Beihuai questioning her incessantly.

She was quick enough, and just as she reached her family house, she saw Madam Tang chatting with someone at the door.

Madam Tang looked left and right, not seeing the new clothes Tang Chuxia had gone to purchase, and was very dissatisfied: "Where are your clothes?"

Tang Chuxia then remembered that she had gone out with Gu Beihuai to buy clothes, but now she hadn’t bought anything and had even gotten a bit dirty.

The neighbor speaking with Madam Tang made a joke: "Did you go out ice-sliding?"

In Quan City, many children would go to the moat to ice-slide during winter days, sometimes taking a tumble or two.

Tang Chuxia didn’t want to explain what she had done, so she casually agreed. The neighbor chatted with Madam Tang for a while longer, then Madam Tang took Tang Chuxia back inside the house.

Inside, the elder sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law were talking, with Licorice on the side holding a large stone mortar, which contained roasted sesame and peanuts.

"Are you making sesame salt?"

Tang Chuxia peered in and caught the scent.

Licorice hummed in agreement, sweat beading on her forehead, "Aunt Lan said that the third sister-in-law likes it, so she asked me to prepare some. We can roll it into the pancakes and eat it at dinner!"

Tang Chuxia looked towards the third sister-in-law: "Third sister-in-law, it’s already the 29th, aren’t you going home?"

It should be known that the third sister-in-law’s home was in the capital, which would require a day’s drive from Quan City under good road conditions.

The third sister-in-law laughed: "What? Are you not welcoming me to stay here for the New Year?"

Tang Chuxia waved her hands repeatedly: "How could that be? I would definitely love for the third sister-in-law to spend the New Year here, I just worry that your in-laws might miss you!"

The third sister-in-law poked Tang Chuxia’s forehead and scolded with a laugh, "You little girl, always so sweet with your words. I’m not going back for the New Year this time. It’s the same if I wait until the elder sister-in-law has given birth before going back!" She had been entrusted by Third Brother Tang to help oversee the household.

Moreover, there might be some important matters on New Year’s Eve, and having the third sister-in-law around could deter any ill-intentioned people.

But the third sister-in-law would not be so forthright about these issues with Tang Chuxia.

Tang Chuxia hugged the third sister-in-law’s arm: "That’s great, I was actually worried about what we would do if everyone got anxious when the time comes!"

The elder sister-in-law teased the two of them: "You’re just too nervous. I’m just having a baby, I see other people don’t make such a fuss over it!"

Tang Chuxia slapped the elder sister-in-law’s hand: "Quick, say ’ptooey, ptooey, ptooey’!"

Only after being persuaded to do so by Tang Chuxia did the elder sister-in-law exclaim, "It’s different with me. I’m the first one in our family to have a baby, and it’s also my first nephew, Tang Chu’s child. How can we be careless? We must treat it with the utmost care, every child born into our family is eagerly awaited!"

Tang Chuxia looked at the third sister-in-law: "When you have your baby in the future, the preparation will only be more grand than now!"

She rarely made the third sister-in-law blush, and Tang Chuxia playfully teased both sisters-in-law, really enjoying herself.

Then her second brother came home, and as soon as he entered the room, he stared straight at Tang Chuxia.

Tang Chuxia became a little afraid and hid behind the third sister-in-law, "Second brother, don’t scare me, I haven’t offended you, have I?"

Tang Jianjun nodded, though his eyes were somewhat intimidating.

Tang Chuxia, seeing that the situation was safe, came out only to be swept up in her second brother’s arms, and began to spin her around in the middle of the room.

Tang Jianjun, being a soldier, had no issue with his strength, but Tang Chuxia, with her frail physique, definitely did.

She was immediately whirled around until her head spun.

"Help! Second brother is plotting to murder his own sister!!!"

Tang Chuxia’s shrill scream scared Madam Tang as she entered the room, who took off her shoe and whacked Tang Jianjun on the buttocks.

"Tang Jianjun, are you asking to be smacked?"
