The Teacher’s Grace Is Like Heaven

40 – Tang Ga Dang and Tang Family Sugar (4)

“Yerin, that’s my name.”

That day, Tang Hajin heard his mother’s name for the first time. From what he heard, she was rarely called by her first name. At first, she didn’t know why.

But as time went on, she began to understand. Outside, she was mostly referred to as a b*tch, but at home, she was called Mrs..

She didn’t really complain, though she did occasionally look bitter. She was always interested in Tang Hajin’s work and talked about it.

She said it was the only motherly thing she knew. Clearly, her parents had not been very good parents to her.

If they had been good parents, she wouldn’t be in the situation she is in now, but nevertheless, she played the best parent she could.

She always smiled whenever she saw them, and spent time with them over tea. She also taught me about various hobbies, such as Go and Shogi.

“You certainly have a good head on your shoulders.”

“Isn’t that right?”

“Yes, and a good application…… Here, here. This is your prize.”

“I don’t really like sweets.”

“Then I’ll eat it.”

She always carried sweets with her and popped them in her mouth. When she was really bad, she’d eat a whole meal with one. I honestly didn’t understand.

Of course, I realize that there are some people who really like sweets. But if it’s all you have, you’re going to be painfully hungry.

Tang Haojin, in particular, knew from past experience how terrifying hunger can be, to the point of bone chilling. But Ye Lin laughed.

“Sometimes you have to starve yourself.”

“I’m not sure what that means.”

“You’ll find out later.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Isn’t that right?”

“Yes.”

Tang Hajin nodded, as if he would just let it go. He didn’t really want to know, to be honest, because he had to starve to get something.

For him, eating was the most important thing. If he couldn’t eat, he would suffer, and eventually die, so he just looked away.

Yerin and Tang Hajin’s relationship was awkward and lacking, but it was still surprisingly close. Ye Lin was trying, and Dang Hajin was far from being a rotter. Over time, they grew closer. One day she asked him a question.

“What do you want to do?”

“To become a cattleman.”

“That’s what the patriarch has decided.”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“Well, we’ll just have to find out slowly from now on.”

There were many things Ye Lin didn’t understand. She didn’t even know how to play Go or Shogi in the first place. Jia Zhu Tang Feiyong said to Tang Haijin.

He told him to only think about building his strength, so he did, because if he didn’t, he would starve. He didn’t want to be thrown out on the streets again.

But, Yerin told him, it’s important to do what you want to do. It was important to do what you want to do, and that was the hardest thing for Tang Hajin to do. “What do you want to do…….” “What are you thinking about?” “No, nothing.” “It’s refreshing.” It was only a small change, but it was a significant change for Tang Haijin. The man who had been told what to do had begun to think.

To continue to think about what he was, and even to think about what he was doing. It was definitely a good change.

Perhaps it was Yerin’s consideration to let him do what he couldn’t do himself, but still do it. He didn’t mind.

Being with Yerin always gave him a warm feeling, and he didn’t want to lose that. But, alas, it was only in the eyes of a dragon.

“All I wanted was a tool. Not a real child.”

“But didn’t you ask me to play the mother?”

“That’s enough.”

“…….”

For Tang Feiyong, a venomous king who was about to rise above the Southern Palace Clan and take control of the Martial Realm, Tang Hajin was an unimaginably valuable family heir.

His talent, in particular, was something that even Tang Feiyong himself could not help but recognize, so much so that he personally nurtured him over other children.

As a cattleman, he would only fulfill his word and grow stronger and stronger. But now a little girl has almost ruined it.

“The play is over. Return to your seats.”

“But, my lord……!!!”

“Do you dare to defy my will now?”

“…….”

“Think well. Think about who saved you.”

Tang Feiyong’s words, Tang Haojin didn’t dare to disobey, for despite his powerlessness, it was true that Tang Feiyong had saved him.

He hadn’t been able to protect Ye Lin, who had been with him for years. That one fact continued to haunt him. It was as if he had been dreaming all this time and suddenly woke up.

Either that, or he was still having nightmares. It was then that Tang Hajin met a boy. A boy who had run amok in Sichuan, the home of the Tang family.

Although he had been thoroughly defeated by Tang Haojin, he still managed to get what he wanted. In fact, he needed a reason. A reason to save people.

“I will no longer remain silent.”

To save my mother. So Tang Haijin immediately rebelled against Tang Feiyong. To be precise, he rebelled and tried to rescue Ye Lin.

Until Tang Feiyong took matters into his own hands. You thought you’d lost interest long ago, but it turns out he’s been hiding Ye Lin deep down.

“…….”

In the end, Tang Haojin could only grit his teeth and endure. He had been defeated in hand-to-hand combat, and he had been defeated by force. He had been thoroughly defeated. He said it himself. “Why are you letting me live?” “What do you mean?” “I didn’t rebel against you.” “Then why are you letting me live?” “Because you’re the most useful.” That’s the kind of person Tang Feiyong was. He would do whatever it took to revive his family, even if it meant going against himself, and he would accept that.

And as far as he was concerned, it was possible. The possibility of surpassing himself and becoming the strongest. That’s why he kept her alive.

Of course, there was no guarantee that Tang Haijin would become the head of the Sichuan Tang Family. However, as far as Tang Feiyong was concerned, Tang Haijin would never be able to relinquish his position as patriarch.

Putting aside the horrible memories he didn’t want to return to, there was a hostage on this side, Ye Lin. With that, Tang Haijin bowed his head again.

As the head of the Sichuan Tang Family and the right-hand man of Tang Feiyong, he continued to move.

“This is the general outline of the story.”

“…….”

Tang Guo calmly finished his story.

Not that I wouldn’t understand, of course, but it was too heavy a story for a third party to hear. In the end, I couldn’t say anything and fell silent.

I decided that it was better to remain silent than to fumble around with something here. He smiled and asked a question.

“You’re still not asking me about my name?”

“I suppose you’ll find out later, when the time comes.”

“Is that so?”

“Actually, I have a pretty good idea from your story. That’s why I didn’t ask. I can’t handle any more heavy talk here.

But at least I know he has a story. It’s just how he’s going to act in the future, that’s the question. I told him.

“What are you going to do in the future?”

“I’m going to challenge Gazoo.”

“…….”

“I’m going to challenge Gazoo.Once again, I heard a sound that was beyond my imagination. I smiled, now liberated. Yes, you can do whatever you want with our party.

Wait, isn’t this a very dangerous situation for the Sichuan Dang family, because it means that Jiazhou and Shaogao will be fighting in earnest?” I said.

“Are you referring to the bimu?”

“Yes, that’s right. But it will be Beimu risking his life.”

“…….”

“Of course, I don’t think he’ll avoid it.”

Tang Feiyong said that he would sacrifice even himself for the revival of the clan. If nothing else, he was certainly capable of action.

But I honestly don’t understand. A family is a family, after all, so why would they persecute and kill each other to such an extent.

Of course, technically, that would mean that Tang Feiyong’s father did the same. I sighed.

“Then is there anything I can do to help?”

“One thing, I have a favor to ask.”

“What is it?”

“I want you to be a witness for me.”

“A witness?”

“Yes, a witness that I defeated the Poison King Tang Feiyong with skill.”

He said confidently. His voice and demeanor exuded immense confidence. It was as if he had already clinched victory.

I nodded. That was more than enough for even me to do.
