Seeing his wife like this, Chu Qian quickly lifted the thin blanket covering her, got out of bed, and helped her up.
"Don't be angry, come and tell me about it."
"Let me tell you, Xiaoling and I went shopping today, and we had a great time the whole time. Who knew that on the way back, Xiaoling would see your good son..."
"Smack!" Everything that was neatly placed on the dressing table jumped up and down with that slap.
"Hey, keep your voice down, Xiaoling just finally fell asleep, don't wake her up."
Seeing the old man like this, Su Jin quickly grabbed Chu Qian's arm, which was slamming the table, and whispered something.
Chu Qian quickly covered his mouth, "My fault, my fault, I'll whisper, I'll whisper."
"Did you see it when you came back today?" Chu Qian whispered to his wife.
"Ah! I didn't see it, Xiaoling saw it. How could she mistake her husband?" Su Jin rolled her eyes at Chu Qian, giving him a look that said, "You're an idiot."
"No, tell me what kind of son you gave birth to! He's been disappearing without a trace for so many years, never around. He wasn't there for any of our children's growth, not even one of them. It's all Xiaoling's fault, working so hard to manage this family. And he still dares to pull this trick on his mother! He's gotten so bold! I'm so angry! It's all your fault, all because of this good son of yours!" After saying that, she pinched Chu Qian a few times.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! It's all my fault. I saw him break his leg and he dared to make my wife so angry."
Chu Qian rubbed the spot where he had been pinched and muttered softly, "It's not like I was the only one who gave birth to them."
What are you muttering about?
"Nothing, nothing, I just said this brat deserved a beating." "Phew," thankfully I didn't hear him clearly.
"Give him a call tomorrow. If he can't do this job wholeheartedly, he should quit and go home to take care of his family. Let him worry about his family from now on. Otherwise, kick him out of the family tree. Do not consider my Chu family to have such an unfilial son."
"Fine, fine, I'll hit him as soon as I get up tomorrow and make sure I get through to him. If he doesn't listen, I'll break his legs and expel him from the family register."
"Honey, don't be angry. Getting angry will harm your health."
“I’m angry because this brat wronged Xiaoling. Tell me, what do you call this? He’s like Chen Shimei, a big bastard who dares to two-time. Find out for me tomorrow. I don’t care how many he’s on, as long as he’s on Xiaoling, he can forget about having any other relationships. If he’s on other relationships, I’ll pretend this son was never born.”
"No, I need to go to sleep now. I need to get up tomorrow and take Xiaoling to the temple to burn incense."
Looking at his sleeping wife beside him, Chu Qian got up, went to the balcony, smoked a few cigarettes, and then went to the bathroom to get rid of the smell before lying down.
He knew his son's character; the Chu family's ancestral precepts had remained unchanged for thousands of years, even under a monarchical system.
He could only have one wife in his lifetime, and he could not take concubines, nor could he indulge in debauchery or have any romantic scandals.
The men of the Chu family only stay at home for a few days a year, spending the rest of their time guarding the border. Their wives stay at home to manage household affairs, serve their elders, and raise their young children. These are ancestral teachings deeply ingrained in the bones of the Chu family men.
Wen Nian, your father has taught you for many years, and you have been away from home for many years. Your father and mother have lost your younger sister. We hope you will not let us down. Please, please do not let us down.
Before going to sleep, Chu Qian prayed in his mind.
The two children, who were undergoing military training, were unaware of the major event that was about to happen at home, catching everyone off guard.
