When his grandson came home, Chang Hongbing was upset for a few days. Just as he was about to cheer up and consider whether to move back home, Chang Lanhua called.
She was beaten up!
She told Chang Hongbing to find the men in her family to avenge her!
Chang Hongbing wasn't one to cause trouble, so he didn't want to go. Besides, after listening to Chang Lanhua's cursing on the phone, he roughly understood what had happened.
Chang Lanhua acted as a pimp for an old widower, who became infatuated with her and insisted on marrying her. This caused a huge uproar from the old widower's son's family. During the conflict, the old widower's daughter-in-law's family couldn't hold back and cracked her skull open.
The fault lies with the evergreen orchid.
Then you absolutely mustn't go looking for trouble.
Chang Lanhua was furious: "What kind of family are you! Your own sister got beaten and you just pretended nothing happened. Every member of the Chang family is a coward!"
Old Man Chang was watching TV when he heard this, so he snorted and looked away from the TV.
What is she doing?
Chang Hongbing honestly replied, "Lanhua got into a fight with someone outside and was beaten. It was her fault, but she insisted that I bring people from home to seek justice for her. I'm not going!"
Old Man Chang grumbled, "It's right that you're not going. Lan Hua is heartless. She won't even give us her retirement money. Her being beaten has nothing to do with us. But if it's our son-in-law and Gangzi who get beaten, then our family can go and support them."
Old Man Chang told Chang Hongbing to hang up the phone and not to pay any attention to Chang Lanhua, that heartless woman.
Chang Hongbing nodded in agreement and was about to hang up when Chang Lanhua's roar came through the phone.
"Dad, don't think I don't know you've been talking badly about me! I didn't ask you to stand up for me! Hongbing and I have the same parents, what business is it of yours if I ask him for help? Don't give me any pointers!"
"Oh dear, do you know who beat me up this time? Aunt Yan's new lover! You're such a good-for-nothing, he ran off with your money and your daughter got beaten up! You're so useless!"
Old Man Chang suddenly became agitated: "Who are you calling useless? Who are you calling worthless? I'm coming over right now!"
They rolled up their sleeves and rushed out.
"dad--"
Chang Hongbing disregarded everything else, hung up the phone, and chased after her.
They stopped Old Man Chang in the corridor by the entrance.
"Dad! Don't panic! If something's wrong, we can go over there later. If I go with you, we won't be able to fight!"
Ignoring the attempts to stop him, Old Man Chang said, "Don't hold me back! Who said I was going to fight? I'm going to get my money back from Aunt Yan!"
That damned Aunt Yan took his money and ran away. Fine, she ran away, but now Granny Chang has been taken in by Zhou Hongyu and is being cared for by everyone. He's become universally disliked because of his divorce and remarriage, so he has no chance to stay by his granddaughter's side anymore.
Aunt Yan is such a scourge!
Chang Hongbing was slow-witted and couldn't immediately figure out the necessary connection between the two, so he was dragged downstairs by Old Man Chang.
Old Chang went straight to the home of Aunt Yan's new lover, Old Tian.
The Tian family is making a huge fuss. As long as that woman stays by Tian's side, the eldest son's family will not give up.
Today, not only Old Man Tian's eldest son's family, but also several other families were present.
The maternal family of Old Man Tian's first wife, the maternal family of Old Man Tian's eldest daughter-in-law...
They also spotted some of Old Man Tian's five daughters standing in the crowd.
This is even bigger than the disputes over dividing family property during the demolition!
Chang Hongbing regained his composure and grabbed the old man who was rushing inside: "Dad, wait a minute!"
They were all neighbors who lived nearby and knew each other well. When they saw Old Man Chang, they quickly pulled him aside and started chatting.
"There's this shameless woman who can't stand seeing the Tian family doing well, and she's been causing them a lot of trouble! Originally, when Old Man Tian divided his inheritance, he got six shares, including five for his five daughters. He got the lion's share, and at first, things were going quite well after the division. But his eldest son's family made a fuss for ages to no avail, so they had to learn from their five daughters and try to please Old Man Tian. He was living the high life after that. But he's never satisfied, so he brought another woman home, saying she'd keep him company in the future..."
Old Man Chang: I know that saying well. The moment I turn my head, I become universally disliked, and I can't even get close to my granddaughter!
Chang Hongbing: ...That shameless woman is my sister.
Some people were laughing at him: "Old Chang, a while ago everyone said that Old Tian was a hundred times smarter than you. Tsk tsk, now it seems he's not even as smart as you. He's been fooled by a woman and wants to give his family property to an outsider!"
Everyone chimed in, laughing at how Old Man Tian had been bewitched by an old woman.
Old Chang chuckled to himself without saying a word. You hindsight experts, Old Tian will always be a bit greener than me!
The crowd was in an uproar. One relative tried to persuade him, then another, but no matter how much you pleaded, Old Man Tian wouldn't budge.
Old Man Tian insisted on marrying Aunt Yan in a grand wedding procession, and after his death, he would leave all his property to her!
The Tian family relatives were so angry with him that they finally couldn't stand it anymore and left. Before leaving, the eldest son's family cursed his ancestors for eight generations and announced that they were severing their father-son relationship.
Old Man Tian was very arrogant, holding his head high and refusing to even acknowledge his only son.
The father-son relationship is over, and Yan Dameizi has agreed to bring her son home. He won't lack sons in the future.
Everyone thought that was the end of it, and the onlookers dispersed.
"Old Man Tian—"
Only then did Old Man Chang have a chance to squeeze in front of Old Man Tian.
"Hey Lao Chang, Yan Da Mei and I are getting our marriage certificate tomorrow. We'll be holding the ceremony at the best hotel around here. You absolutely have to be there!"
Looking at Aunt Yan's ex-boyfriend, Old Man Tian spoke in a sarcastic tone.
It's not entirely Chang Lanhua's fault that he and Aunt Yan got together; he had his eye on her even when Old Man Chang was still with Aunt Yan.
Aunt Yan preferred wealthy men. At that time, he was living in a dilapidated house in a large courtyard and didn't dare to go up to Aunt Yan and express his feelings.
Things are different now!
That old fool Chang gave away all the money he received from the demolition compensation, leaving nothing for himself, and now he's left with a desolate resettlement house to live in all by himself.
Old Man Tian was shrewd enough to bring out his five daughters, who had never been valued, to fight against his unfilial son and protect the family property. Then, he was lucky enough to meet the woman he loved. He was very proud of all the good things that happened to him.
Old Man Chang chuckled: "So you're getting married. Congratulations, Old Man Tian. Before that, I have something to tell you..."
Old Man Tian narrowed his eyes. "Are you trying to sow discord between me and Sister Yan?"
Aunt Yan sensed danger and pulled Old Man Tian aside to refuse on his behalf: "Brother Chang, you and Brother Tian have nothing to say to each other. If you would do me the honor, you can come to the hotel for the wedding banquet!"
Bah! You old codger, you're trying to ruin my plans!
Old Man Tian felt relieved: "Old Chang, do you still have feelings for Sister Yan? Alas, fate is beyond our control. Tomorrow is our happy occasion, so don't even think about interfering!"
Old Man Chang: Tsk tsk, who wants to get involved with you? Pay up!
