When Zhong Chengfa saw the wrinkled bills in his hand, his face immediately fell.
"That's all?" He curled his lips in disgust.
He rolled his eyes, and while Zhong Chengyi was not paying attention, he snatched all the remaining stack of money from his hand!
"Hey! Brother, what are you doing!" Zhong Chengyi was anxious and wanted to take it back.
Zhong Chengfa was not willing to give him a chance. He snatched the money and stuffed it into his pocket without even counting it.
He patted his pockets and said to Zhong Chengyi perfunctorily, "Alright, consider this money a loan from me. I'll definitely pay you back when I have enough money!"
After saying that, without caring about Zhong Chengyi's dark face, he hugged Zhong Hongqing, turned around and walked out swaggeringly.
Zhong Chengyi stood there, looking at Zhong Chengfa's smug back, gnashing his teeth in anger and clenching his fists.
Besides, the second son of the Zhong family, Zhong Chengren, has been living a much more comfortable life these days than his eldest brother, Zhong Chengfa.
He never stayed at home at all, but always hung out at his friends' houses.
Apart from eating and drinking every day, he would gather a few random people around a table to play mahjong, poker, and dice, and have a lot of fun.
He and his few cronies are old partners, specializing in setting up traps to trick those who are being taken advantage of.
So, he is not short of money in his pocket and is quite well off.
When you have a lot of money, your mind becomes more active.
These two days, he went to Meng Wanshu when he had nothing to do.
He kept saying sweet words and just wanted to reconcile with Meng Wanshu, and it would be best if they could move in together.
But since her divorce, Meng Wanshu has moved back to her parents' home and lives with her parents.
How dare I let Zhong Chengren, the adulterer, into my house?
Besides, the last time Zhang Chunxue went to her grain and oil station and caused such a commotion, she could hardly hold her head up in the unit, and the gossip and spit behind her back could drown her.
She now wishes Zhong Chengren would stay away from her to avoid getting into trouble again.
Zhong Chengren is shameless. The more Meng Wanshu avoids him, the more he tries to get close to her.
As for the house of Zhong Chengren's bad friend, everything else is fine except his mother's cooking skills, which are really not good.
The food is either too salty to make your throat choke, or too bland to have any flavor, and sometimes the rice is even undercooked.
In his opinion, it was no different from pig food!
How could Zhang Chunxue's cooking be as delicious as his mother's? Although his mother had a bad temper, her cooking skills were truly amazing.
Zhong Chengren had been eating pig food for several days straight and couldn't take it any longer. His stomach and intestines began to protest.
So, that afternoon, he thought it was time to prepare dinner at home, so he sneaked back to the Zhong family.
He was also scared, knowing his mother's hot temper, and was afraid of running into trouble.
So, at the door of his house, he peeked into the yard like a thief.
Coincidentally, his younger sister Zhong Xiaoxiao came out of the house.
Zhong Chengren's eyes lit up, and he quickly lowered his voice and called out, "Xiaoxiao!"
When Zhong Xiaoxiao saw that the person coming was her second brother, there was no happy expression on her little face.
She didn't even bother to respond, she turned around and shouted towards the kitchen, "Mom! Second brother is back!"
When Zhong Chengren heard this, he felt very happy, thinking that his mother might come out to greet him.
But suddenly there was a loud bang in the kitchen, and then his mother Zhang Chunxue rushed out with a dark face and a black fire poker in her hand!
That posture looks like he is going to beat a dog!
The smug smile on Zhong Chengren's face froze instantly, and his calves began to tremble!
"Oh my god!" He screamed strangely, not daring to stay any longer. He ran out of the village, muttering to himself as he ran: "Oh my God! It's been a few days! Why is my mother still so angry?"
He ran all the way to the village entrance before he dared to take a breath.
He was panting while leaning against the wall when he ran into Zhong Chengyi who had just returned from outside.
Zhong Chengren quickly grabbed him: "Third brother, third brother! I can see you! Mom... has Mom mentioned me these days? How are you feeling?"
When Zhong Chengyi saw that it was him, his eyes flashed with a complicated look, and he subconsciously tucked the things in his arms inside.
"Second brother? Why are you back?" Zhong Chengyi asked with a frown, then sighed: "You'd better leave quickly and don't come back for a few days. Just yesterday, my eldest brother made Mom so angry that she almost blew the roof off the house! If you come back now, aren't you just asking for trouble?"
Zhong Chengren was furious when he heard this: "It's that loser Zhong Chengfa again! He's more of a hindrance than a help!"
He cursed and noticed Zhong Chengyi's unnatural movements.
"Hey, Third Brother," he squinted his eyes, "what are you holding in your arms? You're so mysterious."
Zhong Chengyi's expression was obviously nervous for a moment, and he quickly shook his head: "No... nothing."
He quickly changed the subject: "Second brother, you only ask Mom, you...why don't you ask Second Sister-in-law and Yuanyuan?"
Zhong Chengren heard this and showed a look of disgust on his face. He waved his hand impatiently: "Why ask them? Isn't Mom treating them well now? Do I need to worry about them?"
Zhong Chengren forced a bit of flattery on his harsh face and held on to Zhong Chengyi's sleeve.
"Third brother, I know you are the most sensible and the one that mom loves the most."
"When you're in front of Mom later, you have to say a few nice things about me on behalf of my second brother."
He lowered his voice and added stealthily, "As for me... I know I was wrong. Please don't let her get so angry that she gets sick. When she calms down, I promise I will treat her well!"
