Volume 1 Chapter 48 Eating Alone with Gu Tingxiao

When Chen's mother heard what Chen's father said, she was shocked. Why should they compensate the Sheng family? She would not pay.

The family doesn't have much money to begin with, and they have a whole family to support. Father Chen's salary is not as high as the Sheng family's, but he still has to give it to the Sheng family. What a joke.

"Go when I tell you to!"

Chen's father had a sullen face, and Chen's mother refused to go no matter what. She sat on the ground and rolled around, yelling about how miserable her life was for marrying a man who was such a helper of outsiders.

"Why is my life so miserable?"

"My son is a loser, and my daughters-in-law watched me get beaten one by one."

"Men even let me be bullied!!"

Father Chen's face grew increasingly gloomy as he listened. How could a man stand to be spoken of like that in public?

"Since you have such a hard time with me, then you should go back to your parents' home!"

As soon as Chen's father finished speaking, Chen's mother was so scared that she dared not speak. He actually wanted to go back to her parents' home by himself!

She is already this old, where is her parents' home?

"I'll get it. I'll get it now."

Chen's mother stumbled back to the room and took out 50 yuan, and Sheng's mother grabbed it.

Chen's mother couldn't catch the money, and Sheng's mother snatched it away and put it into her pocket.

"Forget it this time."

"If there is a next time, it won't be so easy."

After saying that, Mr. Sheng took his wife and daughter away, leaving behind the crowd watching the show and the Chen family members who looked very unhappy.

"What are you looking at? Get out of here!"

Mother Chen could only vent her anger on the people watching the show around her. When they saw this, they rolled their eyes and went home.

That night the Chen family decided to use money to settle the matter, but the two daughters-in-law made a big fuss.

The family didn't have much money to begin with, and now that my brother-in-law is in jail, he's definitely lost his job.

Father Chen is the only laboring force left in the family, and all the children in the family need to go to school. Is it worthwhile to invest all the savings for a brother-in-law who behaves like a street hooligan?

Will the days ahead be ok?

The two daughters-in-law of the Chen family directly asked for a divorce, and the two sons even said that they would split up the family if they did so.

When the two daughters-in-law heard their husbands talking about dividing the family property, their eyes lit up.

"Shut up! I'm not dead yet!"

Father Chen slammed the table in anger, but one son was already like this, if the other two sons became alienated from them, how would they live in the future?

Chen's father and mother were really afraid that the other two sons would split the family business, so they would no longer care about them.

The youngest son already has a criminal record, so his future is ruined. If the other two sons feel unbalanced, their retirement support will be a problem.

Moreover, the Public Security Bureau said that their youngest son had to go to the countryside, at least it was better to go there for labor reform.

They could also send things over and try to get their youngest son back to the city.

No matter how sad Mr. and Mrs. Chen were, they had to accept this fact, otherwise the whole family would have to break up.

They are all from the Sheng family. If it weren’t for her son, why would he have to suffer in the countryside?

I don’t know when I’ll be back this time.

Chen's mother hated the Sheng family so much, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she could only curse them at home.

Chen Ming had to be detained in the police station for five days. After five days, someone would take him home to pack his things and keep an eye on him as he went to the countryside.

The Chen family was still feeling lucky that they were going to the countryside, but they didn't know that for people with a criminal record, the places they would go to were the most remote and difficult.

There is no village in front and no shop behind. If someone plots against you, you can only swallow your anger and bear it.

Sheng's mother gave 50 yuan to Sheng Wanyan. After all, this was the injustice Sheng Wanyan suffered, and there was no reason to confiscate it.

"Mom, just give me half."

"We already agreed to hand over the money, there's no reason to give it all to me."

Mother Sheng thought about it and agreed. After all, Sheng Wanze was going to get married, and what would she do if he had any objections about this matter at that time?

"Okay, 25 will be confiscated."

Sheng's mother made a big fuss, and the entire building was frightened by her power. No one dared to say anything they shouldn't in front of her.

Mother Sheng was quite happy to see this situation. She didn't want to deal with these pretentious people every time.

As soon as Sheng Wanyan left the factory at noon the next day, she saw Gu Tingxiao waiting for her.

Gu Tingxiao stood straight with a cold face, and the factory gatekeeper kept staring at Gu Tingxiao.

This man stood here for an hour with a righteous look on his face, which made him feel that someone in the factory had done something wrong.

If I hadn't seen him in military uniform, I would have gone to work.

Gu Tingxiao saw Sheng Wanyan coming out and strode forward.

"Have you been waiting long?"

"Just arrived a short time ago."

If the gatekeeper heard what Gu Tingxiao said, he would probably roll his eyes.

It only took ten minutes to walk from here to the state-owned hotel, so the two of them walked there.

Sheng Wanyan wore a light blue knee-length skirt today, which made her look very gentle. It was made by Grandma Sheng.

Sheng Wanyan walked in front, and Gu Tingxiao followed behind her one step behind, always looking at her pretty back.

As soon as she entered the state-owned restaurant, Sheng Wanyan looked up at the menu written on the board.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Don't be polite to me."

Sheng Wanyan acted like a rich sister, and when Gu Tingxiao saw her like this, his eyes softened.

"You decide."

"Order what you like."

Gu Tingxiao looked at her. Sheng Wanyan paused when she saw his gentle eyes, and finally nodded.

"I want a portion of braised pork, braised beef in soy sauce, braised eggplant, three meat buns and two bowls of white rice."

Sheng Wanyan glanced at Gu Tingxiao, and it was obvious that she was asking him if it was enough. After all, Gu Tingxiao should be a big eater.

"That's enough to eat."

Sheng Wanyan nodded, and the waiter at the state-owned restaurant quickly calculated the price.

"Three dollars and ninety cents in total, and two kilograms of food coupons."

Sheng Wanyan lowered her head and took out money from her cloth bag. Gu Tingxiao quickly took out the bill from his pocket and handed it to her.

"no……"

"I'll treat you to a meal!"

Sheng Wanyan was stunned by his operation. How could this guy's hand speed be so fast?

"All the same."

"I eat a lot, there's no reason for you to pay me."

Sheng Wanyan wanted to say something, but the people behind her were urging her to do so, so she could only find a seat and sit down.

Sheng Wanyan didn't hesitate. Gu Tingxiao had already given her the money, so there was no reason for her to stuff more money into his pocket.

What should I do if I end up looking down on him as a grown man and feel so much regret?

She can only make up for it from other places, she doesn't like to owe others.

"Red-braised pork, braised beef in soy sauce, red-braised eggplant, three meat buns and two bowls of white rice."

Gu Tingxiao heard it and went over to serve the dishes. Sheng Wanyan went over to help with two bowls of white rice in her hands.

Sheng Wanyan went to get two more bottles of soda, which cost one cent each, so this time Gu Tingxiao did not rush to pay the bill with her.

Sheng Wanyan never hesitates when eating, and she eats and drinks as she pleases when having a meal with Gu Tingxiao.

Sheng Wanyan still had half a bowl of rice in her bowl. She had just eaten a meat bun, some meat dishes and half a bowl of rice, and was already very full.

But in this day and age, wasting food is not allowed, otherwise people will point fingers at you.
