Chapter 174 A Good Deal
"What did you say? You want to become a stranger to me? You are such a disobedient and unfilial beast. I should never have given birth to you in the first place."
Chen Zhi's words drove Old Mrs. Chen crazy.
Seeing this, Wang Fengying immediately added fuel to the fire and said, "Brother, Mom worked so hard to raise you, how can you say such things?"
"The old saying is still true, once you have a wife, you forget your mother. Now that you have a sister-in-law, you don't even want to acknowledge your mother."
As soon as Wang Fengying finished speaking, Chen Zhi was slapped hard in the face by Old Lady Chen.
After the slap, everyone in the room suddenly quieted down.
A few seconds later, Zhang Guilan, the youngest, reacted and stood in front of Chen Zhi, accusing Old Mrs. Chen, "Mom, how could you hit Chen Zhi?"
"He is my son, why can't I beat him? At my age, I am qualified to beat any one of you here."
As soon as Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Zhang Guilan was slapped in the face.
"Why did you hit my mother?"
"Why did you hit Guilan?"
Yun Jin and Chen Zhi's voices rang out in the house at the same time.
Facing the two people's questioning, Old Lady Chen said without any guilt: "I said, I have the right to beat anyone in this room."
"Mom, you have always been partial to Chen Gang since we were little. I know it in my heart, but because he is my brother, I have never cared about what he did to you."
"But I didn't expect that you would go too far. Now you're beating me and Guilan for their family. We've already helped Zihao as much as we can."
"I didn't expect you guys were still not satisfied. After Zihao came out of the police station, you changed your words. Not only did you refuse to leave our place, you even expected us to help you pay back the 1 million you owed."
Yun Jin, who was standing aside, finally heard the main point of today's argument.
I didn’t expect the Chen family to be so cruel. They were still thinking about the remaining money in my mother and stepfather’s hands, and wanted them to take out that money to help them fill the hole.
"That money was earned by Guilan and I through hard work. It was used to support our children's education. Why should we give it to you?"
At the end of his speech, Chen Zhi's voice became choked.
Yun Jin understood that Chen Zhi was completely hurt by the Chen family this time.
"Uncle Chen is right. We will never give you that money. You are the ones who did something wrong. Why should we pay for your mistakes?"
Yun Jin, who was standing aside, couldn't hold back any longer and started to criticize the people opposite.
"You have no right to speak here!" Yun Jin's words intensified the conflict again.
"This is my home, why can't I speak up? Instead, you are standing in someone else's home and showing off. I really don't know where you get the confidence from?"
Ignoring Mrs. Chen's angry look, Yun Jin stared at her coldly and said fearlessly.
"You little girl, when will it be your turn to speak?" Wang Fengying didn't dare to confront Chen Zhi and Zhang Guilan head-on. Yun Jin's words gave her a reason to throw a tantrum.
After Wang Fengying finished speaking, she raised one hand, just like Old Lady Chen had done before.
Before Wang Fengying's slap could land, Yun Jin hit her in the face with such force that Wang Fengying almost fell down.
"You dare to hit me?" Covering the half of her face that was hit by Yun Jin, Wang Fengying looked at Yun Jin in disbelief and asked.
Yun Jin's slap stunned several people present.
"I saw you raise your hand, it was a conditioned reflex. Sorry." When hitting Wang Fengying for raising her hand, Yun Jin had already found an excuse.
As soon as Yun Jin finished speaking, Wang Fengyun's screams and howls were heard from inside the house.
"That's enough. My uncle's family has been good enough to us. We can't be ungrateful anymore and stay in my uncle's house!" Chen Zihao's voice made Wang Fengying stop crying.
Ignoring Chen Gang's dissuasion, Chen Zihao walked up to Chen Zhi, bowed deeply to him, and then turned around and bowed deeply to Zhang Guilan:
"Uncle, aunt, I am sorry for what happened this time. I know you have contributed money and effort to my case, so I want to say 'thank you' from the bottom of my heart."
"Don't worry, I will work hard to find a job and pay back the money I owe you as soon as possible. As for your money, it may take me a long time to pay it back."
"I hope you can understand."
After saying that, Chen Zihao bent down again.
"Zihao, we don't have to worry about our money." Facing his sensible nephew, Chen Zhi was very pleased that there was finally someone in the family who could understand him.
"Zihao, you..." Old Mrs. Chen was so angry at Chen Zihao's words that she couldn't speak.
Chen Gang and Wang Fengying on the side also looked very unhappy. They had never thought about paying back Chen Zhi's money.
"Grandma, Mom and Dad, let's go!" Chen Zihao straightened up and looked at Old Mrs. Chen and Chen Gang and his wife beside him and asked.
Hearing what Chen Zihao said, Old Lady Chen glared at Chen Zhi and the others fiercely, then walked out angrily.
Chen Gang and Wang Fengying followed Old Lady Chen and went out as well.
Chen Zihao, who stayed at the end, looked at the actions of the people in front and said to Chen Zhi and the others embarrassedly: "Grandma and the others are just like that. I hope you don't blame them."
Chen Zhi shook his head and said nothing.
Seeing Chen Zhi's disappointment with his family, Chen Zihao sighed and turned to leave.
"Zihao, if you have trouble finding a job, you can contact me and I can help you ask." Before Chen Zihao was about to go out, Yun Jin stopped him.
Chen Zihao has always been very sensible, which is why Yunjin is willing to spend money to help him this time.
Chen Zihao turned around, smiled at Yun Jin, nodded, and left.
"Guilan, does your face still hurt?" After everyone left, Chen Zhi held up Zhang Guilan's beaten face with a distressed look and asked softly.
Zhang Guilan glanced at Yun Jin who was standing beside her and said embarrassedly, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Chen Zhi saw that Zhang Guilan was shy and immediately let her go.
"Old Chen, at this point, your relationship with mom and your second uncle is completely over." Then, Zhang Guilan looked at Chen Zhi and sighed.
"In fact, I have long wanted to avoid having too much to do with them. Given my mother's character of defending Chen Gang, the savings we have accumulated over the years will sooner or later be robbed by them."
"It's good this way now. Although you and I both got slapped, we can make things clear with them and ask them not to bother us again in the future. This is a good deal."
"Do you really think so?" Seeing Chen Zhi said it very easily, Zhang Guilan asked back a little incredulously.
Chen Zhi has always been a filial son. In the past, he always listened to what Old Lady Chen said. It is no wonder that Zhang Guilan did not believe what he said.
"If I really think so, after all these years, I have seen clearly that no matter how well I do or how much I do, she will always be partial to Gangzi's family."
"If that's the case, why should I continue to try to please her? Besides, I can't watch you suffer with me."
Recalling every little thing that happened over the years, Chen Zhi said with some sadness.
"And Xiaojin, I can't just watch her being bullied by them." At the end, Chen Zhi turned his gaze to Yunjin who was standing silently aside.
"Uncle Chen, as long as you and mom are happy, I don't care." Yun Jin was very touched to hear that Chen Zhi cared about her.
"Yes, our family will be happy in the future, and we will always be happy." Staring at Yun Jin, Chen Zhi nodded heavily and sighed.
"Dad, I heard you expressing your feelings outside the door. Did something happy happen to you today?" Chen Zhi had just finished speaking when Chen Xiaotong pushed open the door and walked in.
