CHAPTER 150: CHAPTER 150 COQUETRY

Sheng Tang was left behind.

As everyone else walked out, in the spacious room, only Sheng Tang and the old master remained.

The old master gazed at her, then suddenly said, "You have a lot of nerve, daring to hit someone?"

Sheng Tang wasn’t afraid at all, she smiled and said, "Every time my dad comes over, he’s in a bad mood because the family talks behind your back and says really unpleasant things.

But you, you definitely don’t know the reason, and you just think my dad still holds a grudge against you. The past grievances, I am willing to resolve, which is why I took action. You can’t blame me. If you blame me, I won’t come again in the future."

The old master was taken aback.

He never expected this girl to be so sharp-tongued.

Then, he laughed.

The smile was genuine, reaching his eyes: "I won’t blame you. At my age, where do I have the energy to get angry with you youngsters?"

He paused, then continued, "But, in life, you need to earn people’s respect; fighting is not the way."

Sheng Tang understood and said she knew.

"I’m tired today, you all go back first," the old master said. "Come again tomorrow, and have your dad keep me company."

Sheng Tang responded with an "oh."

The old master, due to his emotions, after just a few words, felt a sharp headache.

She slowly retreated out.

Downstairs, a few people were still arguing.

"...In those days, marriages were forced, it wasn’t considered a real marriage!" the second uncle said, "Stop trying to glorify yourself."

"Exactly! You’ve already taken plenty of advantage!"

Sheng Tang’s mother looked even more embarrassed: "We didn’t want to come either, besides, what advantage have we taken?"

"Where did your university tuition come from?" the usually silent eldest uncle suddenly spoke coldly, "You later got pregnant before marriage and didn’t even finish college, do you think that money doesn’t count anymore?"

Sheng Tang and Secretary Cai were walking around the second-floor corner when they happened to hear this sentence.

She was slightly stunned.

Then she thought, in those days, university students were highly sought after.

Her dad could stay on as a lecturer, why could her mom only work in the library?

Turns out her mom didn’t even graduate.

But why?

They had known each other since childhood, it wasn’t like they would recklessly ruin their futures for passion!

Her mom’s pregnancy would even risk affecting her dad’s studies, this was a huge risk. It shows that her mom took on the burden by herself.

"Could it be I ruined my mom’s career?" Sheng Tang asked herself.

Her mom was very good to her, and her grandma had never mentioned it, she didn’t know at all.

No one in the family blamed her.

"You said you just wanted to acknowledge your relatives and not to take advantage, then give back the tuition money you used for university!" the eldest uncle said contemptuously.

Sheng Tang’s father’s face was frosty: "I will!"

"When?" the second uncle chimed in, also scornful, "Back then, the tuition fees for both of you must have been several tens of thousands, right? The money at that time is different from money now.

Back then, the house prices were only two or three thousand per square meter, now you need four or five million to buy in remote areas. Do you think you can clear the debt with just two or three thousand?"

"Right!" the second aunt chimed in viciously, "You should repay more than twenty times at least. Even if you give less, you should bring out fifty thousand, to settle the old accounts. Otherwise, never come again, have some dignity, stop embarrassing yourselves!"

Sheng Sidong and Fang Mengying were both furious.

The two of them had always been kind-hearted and had never had conflicts with anyone in their lives, so they were at a disadvantage in arguments.

They were about to continue talking when Sheng Tang walked down the stairs.

Her voice rose, "Fifty thousand, is it? If we bring fifty thousand, does that mean we won’t be taking advantage of Grandpa anymore, and you all won’t show those faces when we come in the future?"
