Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Can We Still Be a Family?

Tang Feng felt as sweet as honey from her daughter’s praise.

“Mom is not as good as my Yaobao.” Now everyone in the village praised her for having a good daughter.

Song Chu leaned affectionately against Tang Feng, “Mom, do you like making clothes?”

Tang Feng smiled and said, “I do. I wanted to be a tailor before, but unfortunately private tailors were not allowed later, so I gave up.”

“I learned my clothes-making skills from your great-grandmother. I can also embroider. It’s just that I haven’t done it in years, so I’m a bit rusty, otherwise I could do better.”

Song Chu’s eyes lit up, “Mom, you can do embroidery?”

“Yes, your great-grandmother was an embroiderer for a wealthy family, and she passed all her skills to me.”

Tang Feng sighed, “It’s a pity that these things are not allowed now, otherwise I would embroider some dresses for you. They would look so beautiful.”

Her daughter was so beautiful, she would look perfect in an embroidered dress.

“Mom, don’t let this skill go to waste. You can’t use it now, but you will be able to in a couple of years, trust me.” Artificial embroidery will be very expensive in the future.

“I’ll buy you some embroidery cloth and thread. You can practice in your spare time. It will definitely come in handy in the future.”

Song Chu continued, “But you don’t have to practice too often. This stuff is hard on the eyes. The focus should still be on making clothes.”

Tang Feng always had a mysterious faith in her precious daughter, “Of course I believe you. Then I’ll practice hard. Anyway, there are still several bolts of cloth at home. I’ll make clothes for you with all of them.”

Song Chu was at a loss for words, “I already have enough clothes. I won’t be able to wear them all even if you make more. Make one outfit for everyone in the family. I’ll go get some more cloth in a few days.”

Tang Feng looked disdainfully at her three sons sitting not far away, “Making clothes for them is such a waste. Do they deserve it?”

Song Jianjun, Song Jianye, Song Lao Si: “…” Were they adopted? They don’t even deserve to wear new clothes. So annoying.

Song Jianye couldn’t help but mutter, “Mom’s heart is so biased.”

Song Chu gave him a look and coaxed Tang Feng, “Mom, they’ve been behaving quite well recently. Just think of it as a reward. This will also encourage them to work harder.”

Her mother’s heart was as biased as Song Jianye said, but she liked it.

Tang Feng then pointed at her, “Alright, this time I’ll do it for your sake. I’ll make each of them an outfit, a bunch of troublesome things.”

“Thank you, Mom. I knew Mom was the best.” Song Chu rubbed against her.

Her mother was a stubborn but soft-hearted woman. With a little coaxing, she was changing for the better.

“Mom, you don’t have to rush. Take your time, otherwise I’ll feel bad,” she added.

Tang Feng beamed, “My Yaobao is the most filial.”

“Mom, after you practice a bit, I’ll help you get into a clothing factory to learn design and make more clothes.”

Song Chu noticed that everyone in the family was busy lately, but her mother was relatively idle and seemed a little lost. So she decided to find something for her mother to do and shine.

Tang Feng was taken aback, “Ah, get me into a clothing factory? Is that okay?”

Song Chu said, “Why not? You’re so good at making clothes. That’s exactly what the factory needs. You have to have confidence in yourself. I believe in you.”

If she couldn’t, she would secretly take her salary to the clothing factory and have them pay her mother.

She felt that her mother had a talent for making clothes. With some training, she might even become a designer and a fashionable old lady in the future.

Going to the clothing factory was just a transition. After the economy opened up, she would let her mother start her own business.

Hearing her say this, Tang Feng suddenly felt confident, “Alright, then I’ll give it a try.”

“But will it be too much trouble for you to find someone?” She didn’t want her precious daughter to have to beg others to help her get into the clothing factory.

◈◈◈

Song Chu smiled and said, “It’s no trouble. I’m familiar with the people at the clothing factory.”

“Okay, then Mom will listen to you. I’ll practice a bit first.” Tang Feng nodded.

After hearing their conversation, Song Jianye stood up and walked over, “Sister, why don’t you get me into a factory in the county town to be a worker?”

That way, he wouldn’t have to work in the fields. Going to the city to be a worker would bring a salary and be respectable.

Song Chu pushed him away speechlessly, “Just focus on learning cooking from Old Zhao. Don’t always think about these things.”

“Besides, what else can you do besides cook? Mom has skills, that’s why I’m confident about getting her into the clothing factory.”

She looked at Song Jianye with disdain and continued, “With your lazy and slippery attitude, do you look like someone who can work properly? If I get you in there and you get fired, I’ll be too embarrassed.”

Tang Feng strongly agreed. She glared at Song Jianye, “That’s right. Don’t you dare make trouble for your sister and embarrass her, or I’ll beat you to death.”

Even Song Youfu chimed in, “That’s right. I’m already annoyed by your laziness. Don’t go to the county town and embarrass Yaobao and me.”

He was now a celebrity in the villages and the county. Everyone knew he was good at growing vegetables. He couldn’t let this lazy son go out and embarrass him.

“…” Song Jianye was so angry that his face turned black. Can they still be a family? They’re just stabbing him in the back.

Seeing Song Sanniu snickering nearby, he glared at her, “You brat, you dare to laugh at your father? Are you looking for a beating?”

Song Sanniu wasn’t afraid of him now that she had her aunt’s support. She stuck her tongue out at him.

Her father was just a weakling who put on a strong front. He needed her aunt to keep him in line.

Song Jianye was furious. Now even his little daughter looked down on him.

He was filled with anger and stood up to go catch Song Sanniu and teach her a lesson.

Song’s Second Sister-in-law immediately got up and pushed him away, “What are you doing? The child was just laughing. You dare to hit her?”

Song’s Second Sister-in-law might look thin, but she was strong from working all the time. She pushed Song Jianye so hard that he almost fell to the ground.

Song Jianye felt extremely aggrieved, “Are you trying to rebel? You dare to push me?”

Song’s Second Sister-in-law was a little scared when he yelled at her.

But seeing Song Chu’s encouraging look, she felt a surge of courage. She couldn’t help but pick up the broom in the yard and hit Song Jianye with it.

“I’m not just pushing you, I’m hitting you too. Sanniu was just laughing, and you want to teach her a lesson. What gives you the right? If you have the guts, hit me.” She swung the broom repeatedly, feeling a sense of exhilaration for the first time.

She had been bullied by this man for so long, and she had had enough.

If it were just her, she might have endured it, but she would never let him lay a hand on her daughter.

Song Jianye was chased and beaten by her, “You woman, are you crazy?”

He was about to grab the broom when Song Chu’s voice rang out, “He wants to bully his own daughter. Good job beating him. Second Brother is just asking for a beating.”

Tang Feng also nodded, “That’s right. This shameless thing deserves a beating. If Second Daughter-in-law didn’t do it, I would have.”

Song Jianye: “…”

Who did he offend? All the women in the family had turned into tigresses. It was too scary!
