Chapter 77: Chasing the Wife and Marrying into the Family
After Xia Shan took Xia Qingshu away, he asked Chen Zhiyu to go home and wait for notification.
Chen Zhiyu rushed home quickly and found Chen Rao directly.
Chen Rao had not yet recovered from the grief over the loss of her child, and was combing the hair of "Chen Zude" to distract herself. When she saw her son coming "aggressively", her hands shook and she almost pulled out a lot of Zude's hair.
The pony was in a good mood, blowing out a puff of air from its nose, without raising its hooves. Instead, it sensed its owner's uneasiness and tilted its head to gently comfort him.
Chen Rao knew that his son had gone to see Xia Qingshu and pretended to be pregnant, and he could no longer hide the fact.
Chen Zhiyu didn't waste any words and directly expressed his wish to have a normal family, "Mom, can you be a little more normal?"
Chen Rao rolled his eyelids and said with tears in his eyes, "Why am I abnormal? Everything I did was entirely for this family!"
She hugged the pony's neck and sobbed, "I am so happy that after I die, I can hold my head high with pride when I meet the ancestors of the Chen family!"
Chen Zhiyu snorted coldly, "Feudal superstition!"
Chen Rao's thoughts are deeply rooted and cannot be persuaded with just a few words.
Chen Zhiyu directly told her, "Mom, I will move to Xia's house in a few days. If you have any problems in the future, just come to Xia's house to find me."
When Chen Rao heard the notice, she was so frightened that her legs went limp. If Chen Zude hadn't supported her body, she would have knelt down immediately.
"W-What do you mean?"
Chen Zhiyu said, "I want to marry into the Xia family."
“Bang—”
A bolt of thunder struck Chen Rao on the head.
The thing she was most worried about finally happened.
"How could that cruel woman Qixi be so unethical?! She said that I would not interfere in the affairs of the children, and she would not let you marry into the family... Now that I have not interfered, she is still like this. In this day and age, are there any families that allow the son-in-law to marry into the family?!"
Chen Zhiyu calmly retorted, "In this day and age, there is no family that needs to continue the family line!"
Chen Rao: “…”
"The Chen family has accumulated so much wealth over the years, but the speed at which we spend money is far less than the speed at which we earn it. Our family has so much money, I... I won't pass on the family line... I'm just worried that no one will inherit this family business!"
"Then you don't have to worry." Chen Zhiyu said, "I will bring all the money to the Xia family."
“Bang—”
The second thunderclap struck Chen Rao's head again.
Her son is so great, this is too extreme.
Chen Rao knew very well that once her son made up his mind, nothing she said would be of any use. She asked persistently, "Since you are at the Xia family, what about the baby Xia Qingshu is pregnant with..."
Chen Zhiyu: "You can come and see."
Chen Rao: "Great, my big fat grandson."
Chen Zhiyu: "Since I'm here to visit, the baby's surname is naturally Xia."
Chen Rao strongly retorted: "He is obviously the blood of our Chen family. You are the child's father. How can you let the child have the surname Xia?!"
Chen Zhiyu: "Qingshu is also the child's father. He has the same last name as his father, so what's wrong with that?!"
Chen Rao: "But your last name is Chen, so you are Chen Zhiyu?"
Chen Zhiyu smiled coldly, "Yeah, does the Chen surname have an extra pair of eyes or an extra leg? Aren't we all human? No one is nobler than anyone else!"
Chen Rao: “…”
She wanted to say that they were the Chen family, the wealthy Chen family.
But most of the Chen family’s wealth was earned by Zhiyu.
Her ancestors left her wealth, but her husband Chen Qianxing was not a capable person and was coveted by people with ulterior motives, and he lost most of it.
After Zhiyu took over the family, he expanded the Chen Group and slowly recovered the property that Chen Qianxing had been defrauded of. This led to the current situation where the Chen family is able to stand on its own.
Without Zhiyu, the Chen family is nothing.
However, precisely because there are so many, it is even more important to have a son to pass on the legacy! !
Chen Rao felt his head spinning, and all he could see were stars. "...Is there no room for negotiation?"
Chen Zhiyu sneered, "There is no room for negotiation. Also, don't speculate on the baby's gender. I like sons and daughters equally."
Chen Rao was like an eggplant hit by frost, sitting on the ground, unable to move.
Chen Zhiyu didn't say any more advice.
Chen Rao's thoughts were deeply rooted, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to correct Chen Rao's thoughts.
He envied Qingshu's family. Whether it was Xia Laoer or Xia Jing, they were both genuinely kind to Qingshu. When the Xia family knew Qingshu was pregnant, they not only did not blame him, but instead showed concern and care for him, always standing behind him and providing him with strong support. Their love for Qingshu was unconditional.
Chen Zhiyu hopes that his children can grow up in such a beautiful family.
"As the child's grandmother, you should think carefully about what you should do so as not to be annoying!"
After Chen Zhiyu finished speaking, he left without looking back.
As a son, he has said what he needs to say. Chen Rao can only understand such decadent and outdated ideas on her own.
~
"Sister Rao, don't be angry. What do you mean by marrying into the family? If Zhiyu dares to propose marrying into the family, will the Xia family dare to accept him?"
The person who was speaking was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Her name was **. Her grandfather was adopted by Chen Zhiyu's great-grandfather. He was kicked out of the Chen family because he committed a crime. **After my grandfather passed away, our family's financial situation became increasingly difficult. We recently shamelessly married into the Chen family, and now we are living a better life.
"Besides, there is no overnight hatred between mother and son. Zhiyu is a sensible child. He was just talking in anger. Maybe he will come back soon."
**She did not come alone, she also brought her daughter and three grandchildren. The three grandchildren, aged between three and five, wore one a child-sized tuxedo, one a small suit and one a simple bear coat.
The three little boys have obviously been dressed up, they are so cute and adorable, and they are at the most likable age.
Chen Rao sobbed and sucked the baby. The more she looked at the three children, the more she liked them. She picked up one and played with it for a while, then moved to another one.
When will she be able to hold her big fat grandson? !
She thought to herself, oh, Zhiyu’s child must be cuter.
Otherwise, the family line will not be passed on.
Her thoughts have become a little loose. In order to be able to see her good grandchildren in the future, why not change them?
**Seeing her in a daze, he winked at his daughter and asked her to take the three grandchildren out.
The daughter smiled and picked up the youngest nephew, and called the other two nephews, "Come with your auntie, I will take you to the garden to play. There are many small animals in the garden."
Chen Rao was using sucking the baby to numb himself. When he saw the child being taken away, he looked reluctant and said, "Oh, don't take them away. Let them play here."
** held her hand and said earnestly, "Sister Rao, if you really like them, just tell me which one you like."
Chen Rao: "...I, I don't quite understand what you mean."
** laughed and said, "Sister Rao, Zhiyu is now bewitched by that little witch from the Xia family and doesn't even go home. You can't just sit there and wait for death. We have watched Zhiyu grow up since he was a child. He has a good character. Who knows, he might have been brainwashed by that witch from the Xia family."
"I think you should just adopt a child without saying anything, so that the Xia family will know that our Chen family is not a rootless duckweed."
"Sister Rao, you know I'm an honest person and I can't bear to see you being wronged. Honest people don't speak in code, so I'll just speak frankly. If you like any of them, just tell me, and I won't take them away today."
"Maybe Zhiyu knows that you have adopted a child, so he might be on guard and won't just leave like that for no reason."
Chen Rao was a little hesitant. She had just wavered and was ready to correct her idea of "continuing the family line", but someone was about to take the initiative to adopt a child...
Chen Rao asked tentatively, "Are you willing to do it?"
Such a cute child, just give him away like that?
**: "For the sake of Sister Rao's family happiness, what can I be reluctant to give up?"
Chen Rao thought to himself, our relationship isn’t that good. However, she has been pampered by these so-called "relatives" for many years, and these "relatives" are very sincere to her, so it is not surprising that they can do this.
She asked again, "Can you make the decision? Will your son and daughter-in-law be willing to give it up?"
**: “Their opinions don’t matter.”
It turns out that this is using other people's children as a favor.
Chen Rao quickly declined: "No, I can't accept it. It will be bad for the child."
Although she thought about the male heir of the Chen family day and night, she had never thought about "adoption".
** held her hand, with a sincere face, "We are all surnamed Chen, we are a family, how can the child endure hardship with you? I think the child can develop better with you!"
Chen Rao: "What good will this do for you?"
**: "What benefit do I need, Sister Rao? As long as you live well, that's enough."
Chen Rao: Have you met a living Lei Feng?
~
Chen Rao had been thinking too much these days and always felt dizzy. She originally wanted to go to her room to lie down, but suddenly she saw Zhiyu appear in front of her.
She was a little excited, "Zhiyu, you're not leaving?"
Chen Zhiyu didn't say anything.
He thought about it and realized that marrying Qingshu was a matter between two families. Even if he married into the Xia family, he could not deprive Chen Rao of his rights as his mother. If Chen Rao continued to make a fuss in the future, he wouldn't care, but he was afraid of hurting Qingshu.
Qingshu is so pure and simple, he shouldn't encounter such bad things.
"Let me show you something." Chen Zhiyu sat in front of Chen Rao and turned on the projector.
In the projection, the mother and her daughter were playing with three little boys in the garden.
The daughter asked, "Mom, bring your nephew here. Does your sister-in-law know?"
"Why does she know all this?" ** held a child in her arms and said with a smile, "Your sister-in-law is not good at anything. She is not good at housework and can't take good care of her husband. She is good at giving birth to children, one a year. She just sends one away and has another one."
The daughter asked again, "What about my brother? Does he agree?"
** said, "How dare your brother disobey me?"
My daughter laughed twice and changed the subject, "I know this is a dwarf horse. It has a gentle personality and is most suitable for children to play with. The last time I went to the horse farm, I heard that this horse is very valuable."
** smiled and said, "From now on, all of these will belong to our family."
The daughter said angrily, "Mom, be more reserved."
** looked around and didn't see anyone, so he lowered his voice and said, "As long as Chen Rao adopts your nephew, we will move in. Your nephew is the heir of the Chen family. If he doesn't support me, then he will support her. I also want to sit in her position."
Daughter: "What era is it now? Aunt Rao is still thinking about having a son to carry on the family line! In my opinion, sons and daughters are the same."
** laughed, "If she doesn't have this kind of thinking, how can we have a prosperous future?!"
......
Chen Rao is usually flattered by these relatives to the point of being speechless. These relatives are also responsible for her having such extreme thoughts today.
Hearing these people who usually acted submissively behind him making up stories about him and mocking his ideas behind his back, Chen Rao was so angry that he was shaking all over.
These people who seemed to be thinking about the Chen family in everything and offering advice for the Chen family's plan to continue the family line, actually had such thoughts in secret.
Chen Rao suddenly realized how stupid his previous thoughts were.
She felt cold all over and panicked. "I, I'll chase them away and never let them come to my house again!"
Chen Zhiyu looked at Chen Rao quietly. He was a stubborn person and no amount of persuasion from others could help him. He could only figure things out on his own.
"Think about it carefully, I'll go and chase them away!"
Chen Rao slumped on the sofa, staring at the screen.
A few minutes later, Chen Zhiyu appeared in the garden, followed by a young couple.
When the young couple saw the three little boys, they excitedly rushed over and hugged them in their arms.
The son loudly rebuked his mother, “Mom, I won’t give my son away!”
The daughter-in-law cried silently, holding the child tightly.
** yelled angrily, "Let go, I'm doing this for your and the child's good, do you know that?!"
The son resolutely refused, "I don't know anything. I only know that children are happiest when they are with their parents!"
** cried loudly and threw a tantrum on the ground, with no image at all, "You have grown wings, and you dare to disobey your mother, right?! I am doing this for your own good!! With the little money you earn every month, can my grandson get good educational resources? Can you afford a school district house?! After he is adopted, he will get the best of everything!"
The son took his wife's hand, held the child in his arms, and walked away without looking back.
Only ** was left, sitting on the ground crying and cursing his son for being unfilial, hoping that he would be struck by lightning.
Chen Rao felt that ** looked like a clown and was very funny.
Once upon a time, she was like this, saying that she would be nice to Zhiyu, but forcing Zhiyu to do things he was unwilling to do. If Zhiyu is unwilling, it means he is unfilial and does not understand the painstaking efforts of his parents.
Invisibly, Zhiyu suffered a lot of moral blackmail.
Chen Rao suddenly realized that he had missed Zhiyu's growth time because of his wrong thinking.
She had no idea what interesting things Zhiyu had done as a child. It was as if as soon as Zhiyu became sensible, he was burdened with the responsibility of continuing the family line.
She is not a good mother.
