These words moved Chu Chuanbei even more.
No longer hiding it, he lowered his head and whispered, "I'm no longer a rich second-generation. My biological father is a criminal. I can't run a factory and do big business with your village. Are you still going to take me in?"
Mu Chenze's firm voice sounded, "Of course I'll take him in."
When Mu Chenze led Chu Chuanbei into the main hall, Qin Mahua came over and greeted them warmly, "Guests are coming to our house! Hurry up and serve. Dinner will be served soon!"
Mu Chenfu and Mu Qinlao also warmly invited him to take a seat.
Fu Qing came in with the dishes and said nonchalantly, "I have guests at home, and I am so lucky to have them again."
When there are guests at home, more dishes will be served.
Chu Xuan walked into the main room from the bedroom and recognized Chu Chuanbei at a glance. Seeing that Chu Chuanbei wanted to say something, she said first, "Eat first."
It's true that I feel bad for the village factory's meal, but I also sympathize with him.
After all, he didn't know that his biological father was Liang Shi before, otherwise he would have transferred his property like Yuan Tian.
Tears welled up in Chu Chuanbei's eyes. He was dressed in rags, but the Mu family did not look down on him.
He couldn't help but think of his adoptive father's family, who were ruthlessly kicked out because he was not Chu Zhenlin's biological son.
Those who usually loved him changed their expressions in an instant.
When he questioned his mother, she said, "You are Liang Shi's biological son, but Liang Shi has passed away." Then she left without saying goodbye.
Now he is alone, and he didn't expect that the Mu family would be willing to take him in.
He must remember this kindness.
I clenched my fists, looked up at the roof, and tried hard to hold back the tears.
During the meal, Chu Chuanbei was embarrassed to pick up meat dishes, so Qin Mahua picked up meat dishes for him several times.
He hadn't had a full meal for several days, and when he was kicked out of the house, he only had a dozen dollars on him.
Currently penniless.
After dinner, Mu Chenze took a set of clean clothes and took him to the bathroom.
The bathroom can have its own stove, which makes it very warm.
After Chu Chuanbei took a hot shower, Mu Chenze took him to the guest room.
Mu Qinlao had already lit the kang in the guest room.
Chu Chuanbei sat on the kang, touched the new bedding and quilt on the kang, and could no longer hold back his tears.
Mu Chenze patted his shoulders gently to comfort him.
After crying, Chu Chuanbei took the initiative to talk about what happened to him.
"From childhood to adulthood, I was spoiled by my family and never suffered any injustice. I didn't like studying, so my family arranged a job for me. It didn't matter if I was on a business trip or not, and it didn't matter if I had any achievements or not, as long as I got a good salary. However, the last time I returned to Hai City from here, my father suddenly told me that he was not my biological father."
Mu Chenze pretended not to know the reason, "How did he prove it?"
"He took out the letters my mother had collected. All of them were signed 'I love you, Shi.' One of the letters said, 'Let's name our child Chuanbei! Although he can't have my last name, I have to choose the first name.'"
"Your mother was so careless. Since she chose to conceal this for eighteen or nineteen years, why did she keep this kind of evidence?"
"My dad... no... my adoptive father also asked my mom this question. My mom's answer was that because she loved my biological father, she wanted to keep the evidence and show it to me when I was older. Then she would let me recognize my ancestral roots."
"In this case, wouldn't your adoptive father hate your mother?"
"Yes! He gave me this hatred and kicked me out of the house."
"Didn't you kick your mother out?"
"No. He said he was going to exhaust my mother in this life. However, after I was kicked out of the house, my mother found me and told me that my biological father's name was Liang Shi and that he was dead. Then she left without saying goodbye."
"Do you know Liang Shi?"
"I don't know. My adoptive father said he's a criminal and has done a lot of bad things. I look down on him and won't acknowledge him."
Mu Chenze couldn't help but ask, "Do you hate your adoptive father's family?"
Chu Chuanbei answered without hesitation, "I hate it. What happened back then had nothing to do with me, but they brought disaster upon me."
Mu Chenze persuaded, "You shouldn't hate them. Don't forget that it was your adoptive family who gave you eighteen years of wonderful life. When they drove you away, did you ever express your stance, saying that you didn't recognize Liang Shi and that Chu Zhenlin was your biological father?"
Chu Chuanbei hung his head. "I never said anything like that. They chased me away, but I didn't say a single soft word. I just stuck my neck out, acting like I'd find another place to stay."
"Does Chu Zhenlin have other children?"
"No. He had an accident a few years ago, and the doctor said it would be impossible for him to have children again."
"Then there is still hope for you to repair your relationship with Chu Zhenlin."
Chu Chuanbei was repulsed. "If that's the case, what's the difference between me and a scabby dog?"
Mu Chenze had read Chu Zhenlin's profile at Min Yi's place and felt he was impulsive but sentimental. "What if Chu Zhenlin is waiting for you to come back? Maybe he drove you away just to get your mother to give in. Who would have thought your mother wouldn't give in? She's actually gone all out."
Chu Chuanbei was a little embarrassed. "The window paper has been broken. I can't stand in the Chu family anymore. What can I do if I go back? People in the family will definitely laugh at me."
"You can use Chu Zhenlin's financial support to study abroad. You don't have to meet anyone in your family."
"I hate reading the most."
"Then go abroad to do business."
"But I don't speak foreign languages."
“You can learn if you don’t know how to do it!”
"I told you, I hate reading the most."
Seeing that soft tactics didn't work, Mu Chenze resorted to hard tactics. "I think you're a hopeless case! You hate this and that, but look at how you are now. Do you have the capital to hate others? Wait until you're rich, then you'll have the right to say you hate others! It's up to you! If you don't want to seize the opportunity, then you can stay in my house as a helper!"
"helper?"
"That's right! I'll pay you five dollars a day for working on the fishing boat with my dad and big brother every day!"
Chu Chuanbei's eyes lit up as he quickly calculated, "One hundred and fifty yuan a month?"
Mu Chenze rolled his eyes at him, "You're so naive! How many times you can go out to sea in a month depends on the weather! If the weather is bad, you might not be able to go out to sea for a whole month!"
"Tomorrow I'll go out with the boat to experience it first."
"Alright! But I'm warning you in advance. If you get seasick after going out to sea, my father and eldest brother won't make a special trip to take you back. You'll just have to endure it then."
"I've been on a ship before, and I've never gotten sick."
“Ships are different from fishing boats.”
"I feel the same."
"In that case, then go to bed early and go out to sea around three in the morning tomorrow."
"Okay. I'm going to sleep."
Chu Chuanbei fell asleep immediately.
Mu Chenze sighed, washed up, and returned to the bridal chamber.
Report Chu Chuanbei's situation to my wife.
Chu Xuan also felt that Chu Chuanbei should try to repair his relationship with Chu Zhenlin.
If Chu Chuanbei lets go of the grace of raising him for more than 18 years, it means that he is an ungrateful person.
It would be fine if Chu Zhenlin refused to accept him, but what if he came home and declared that he only recognized Chu Zhenlin as his father?
"Ze, you don't need to persuade him anymore recently. Let him experience the life of a fisherman for a few days first!"
"Okay. Wife, why did Chu Chuanbei choose our family? Could it be that he knew Liang Shi's arrest was related to us and deliberately approached our family?"
If that's the case, we can't let him stay for long.
