Xu Miaomiao's branch office in another city opened two days ago. As the big boss, she had to go to the opening ceremony and cut the ribbon. She stayed there for two days, but thinking about the elderly and children at home, she hurried back. When she got home, it was already past eight o'clock and it was completely dark.
Xu Miaomiao saw someone standing at the gate of the yard from a distance. She was wondering who would be at their door at this time, but when she got closer, she found that it was Chen Yuning, who was leaning against the gate with a look of grievance on his face.
Xu Miaomiao approached and asked curiously, "Xiaoning, why don't you go home and feed mosquitoes here so late at night?"
The boy, who had been lowering his head, looked up when he heard the words and saw that it was his mother who came back. Thinking of the people in the house, he called out "Mom" in a wronged tone, his eyes red.
Xu Miaomiao was startled by him. Although this child was not very smart, he had a good personality and was a natural optimist. It was rare to see him like this. The word "Mom" made Xu Miaomiao's heart beat fast.
She quickly leaned over, stroked his hair comfortingly, and asked softly, "What's wrong, baby? Did anyone bully you? Talk to mommy."
Chen Yuning first rubbed his forehead against his mother's shoulder in grievance, and then said dissatisfiedly, "Mom, my second uncle is here, and he brought my cousin and two sisters with him. They..."
The child didn't finish his words, but Xu Miaomiao could already imagine what happened. It was just someone using the status of an elder to bully the child.
Speaking of Chen Cong's family, they are like mud that cannot be shaken off, very disgusting.
In the past few years, Xu Miaomiao had given them opportunities to make money. The eldest brother's family was obedient. When asked to buy land, they bought land. When asked to open a store, they opened a store. Although they cannot be said to be rich in recent years, they have acquired a lot of industries, and the three children have all worked hard to get into university.
The same idea happened to the second brother's family, but unexpected events occurred frequently. They were unwilling to spend their own money for fear of taking risks. They were also skeptical about Xu Miaomiao's ideas. After struggling for several years, they not only did not make any money, but also lost their family assets.
At first, he was still trying to save face and didn't look for Chen Chen, but just took advantage of the two old people.
After all, they are their own sons and grandsons. No matter how dissatisfied Chen Jianghe and Wang Yan are, they can't just watch them eat coarse food and die.
The eldest and third sons were living well and didn't need them to worry about them. Their pension money and pocket money from their other two sons were basically all spent on the second son's family.
But since they had their second child, twin daughters, the cost of raising three children has become increasingly expensive, and Chen Jiajun has been spoiled by the couple to the point where he can't even carry anything, and he won't go to school unless he gets into a good school.
He always nags at home about spending money to find a good job, buy a house and marry a girl from the city.
The reality of life crushed Chen Cong's false pride, and he began to try to play the emotional card with Chen Chen, trying to get some benefits from him.
Xu Miaomiao was aware of the fact that Chen Jianghe and Wang Yan secretly helped Chen Cong's family, but she didn't take it to heart. As children, it was their duty to respect and support their elders. As for who the elders gave the money to, that was their own business.
But Xu Miaomiao has always forbidden Chen Chen to give money directly to the second brother's family. It is a bottomless pit. If you are soft-hearted once, you will never be able to get rid of it.
Chen Yuning followed behind his mother, holding his head high, feeling confident that he had found a backer.
Even though Xu Miaomiao was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but get angry when she saw the mess in the living room.
Chen Jiajun sat cross-legged on the sofa without taking off his shoes, playing the game console he had just bought for Chen Yuning last month enthusiastically, cursing something dirty under his breath.
Chen Cong and his daughter were in the kitchen, rummaging through the refrigerator. He put whatever good things he found into his bag.
When they came in, they didn't even change into slippers, leaving muddy footprints all over the floor.
Xu Miaomiao didn't see Chen Yu'an on the first floor. He must be researching something in his new laboratory on the second floor.
Xu Miaomiao was just about to ask Chen Jiajun to get down from her sofa when she heard a heart-wrenching cry coming from the second floor.
A little girl of seven or eight years old ran down the stairs with a grin on her face and threw herself into Chen Cong's arms, crying, "My second brother bullied me! He told me to get out... Wuuuuu..."
When Chen Cong heard that his precious daughter was being bullied, he rolled up his sleeves and went upstairs to find Chen Yu'an to settle the score. "That rebellious little bastard, is he looking down on us country relatives? Today I will teach him a lesson on behalf of his father!"
Xu Miaomiao was so annoyed by their quarrel that she scolded them coldly, "Who are you trying to teach a lesson to? Chen Chen and I are still here, how can you teach a child a lesson? You are sworn brothers with yourself, so who do you think you are?"
Chen Cong only dared to yell at the child because there was no adult at home. Seeing Xu Miaomiao looking at him sternly, he smoothed his sleeves with a wry smile and said with a flattering smile.
"No, no, I just want to have a good talk with the child."
Xu Miaomiao ignored him, walked straight over, snatched the game console from Chen Jiajun's hand, threw it into the hands of her son who was looking at her eagerly, and nodded upstairs with her chin, indicating that he should go back to his room. It was time for the adults to deal with things.
Xu Miaomiao didn't want him to see the disharmonious scene.
Chen Yuning went upstairs happily holding the game console that he had lost and found again.
Chen Jiajun, who was happily playing, suddenly had his game console snatched away. He was furious, thinking that Chen Yuning had come to take it away out of spite, so he looked up and cursed, "Don't you want to die? You're asking for a beating..."
