Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Three Boys

"Sis, how about my Qiangzi stays at your place for a few days? Help me keep an eye on him," Liu Cuixong suggested.

Zhang Qiang, thinking of going to the county, was visibly excited.

"Cuixong, staying for a few days is fine, but as for keeping an eye on him..." Zhang Hualian’s gaze fell on Tang Yue.

Tang Yue cleared her throat and said, "Auntie, I tend to scold people. When the time comes, you won’t say I’m abusing Zhang Qiang, right?"

Tang Yue had a look of ’let’s get the ugly part out of the way first’.

To prove Tang Yue’s point, Tang Jun complained, "Zhang Qiang, my sister has very high standards. If you don’t meet them, you’ll have to run, or you won’t get to eat."

Tang Jun had a personal understanding of this. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

In that first summer vacation, he was almost tortured to losing half his skin. Later, once he got used to it, it didn’t seem so bad.

"I’m going as a guest," Zhang Qiang had just finished saying.

Then Liu Cuixong glared fiercely at him and turned to Tang Yue with a smile: "It’s fine, Xiao Yue. There’s still about ten days before school starts. You can discipline Xiao Qiang however you want during these days."

"Mom." Zhang Qiang looked reluctantly at Liu Cuixong and said, "I’m not going."

"Xiao Qiang, from now on, just listen to your Sister Xiao Yue," Liu Cuixong earnestly urged. Ever since she opened her clothing store and tasted some success, she became particularly close to Zhang Hualian and Tang Zhengde, and even Tang Yue was very dear to her.

This year the clothing store did well, and with the addition of the newly opened Southern Goods Store, the business was getting better and better. Who knows, in a few years, they might have enough money to build a new house.

"Xiao Qiang, today, you should follow your aunt and Sister Xiao Yue back," Liu Cuixong decided, determined to discipline Zhang Qiang.

The former Tang Jun wasn’t much better than Zhang Qiang, but now his grades were much better, and his behavior had improved significantly, especially in this half a year after Liu Cuixong opened her own store. Zhang Qiang had been frequently taking money from home to play games.

Every time it happened, Liu Cuixong was infuriated to the point of metaphorically spitting blood. At this rate, no matter how much money the household made, Zhang Qiang could squander it all away.

With just over ten days until school resumed, staying with Zhang Hualian and the others would at least keep him from disturbing her every day.

Zhang Qiang, who loved to play, was extremely reluctant to go back to the village with Zhang Hualian and the others. He wanted to go to the town to play arcade games. Zhang Hualian gently persuaded him for a while, but Zhang Qiang impatiently said, "Auntie, I will go to your house after I have had enough fun."

The noises of the game machines could be heard in the gaming hall, along with the bright colorful lights flashing. Many youths, similar in age to Zhang Qiang and even smaller, were playing the slot machines.

"Mom and Dad, you go ahead, we’ll be back in a bit," said Tang Yue as she glanced at Zhang Qiang.

"Xiao Yue, can you guys handle it?" Zhang Hualian was worried. Her own Xiao Yue was extremely well-behaved, and even Tang Jun rarely played on arcade machines.

Zhang Hualian didn’t know how to stop the children from playing with the machines.

And Tang Zhengde, being just an uncle, couldn’t really give Zhang Qiang a harsh talking-to.

"Mom, don’t you trust me?" Tang Yue grinned, showing off a row of neat white teeth, her bright eyes curving like crescent moons.

"I do," Zhang Hualian decisively headed back to the village first with Tang Zhengde.

Tang Zhengde instructed Tang Jun, "Xiao Jun, make sure you accompany your sister back."

"Dad, don’t worry, I will definitely protect my sister," Tang Jun reassured, patting his chest.
