Chapter 60: Back to the Millennium to Torture Phoenix Man 3: Can't Knock on the Door
Wang Guixiu was so angry that she jumped up and down. "What did you say? Listen to what you're saying. It's like I'm mistreating my own granddaughter! You think I'm not a good grandmother, so why are you talking back now?!"
She had been contradicted by her daughter-in-law during the day and had been sulking all day. She even called her son to complain. She thought her son had taught her a lesson and she would at least be more restrained in the evening. Unexpectedly, Chen Qian became even worse. Not only did she buy a bunch of clothes, she also said that Zhizhi didn't like the clothes she found for her.
Wang Guixiu was not angry about what Shen Qian said. She knew that the clothes were ugly, but the family money was earned by her son with great difficulty. How could she let the mother and daughter squander it all?
If she hadn't been in control over the past few years, would Chen Shifeng have been able to arrange for his brother Chen Shiming and his sister Chen Meihua to work in Shen's Restaurant so easily?
Seeing her grandmother angry, Chen Zhizhi was so frightened that her little hands turned cold.
Shen Qian held her daughter's hand and looked at Wang Guixiu: "Mom, I didn't mean that. It's just that Zhizhi has grown up, and girls need to dress up. Other girls dress up beautifully. You don't want your child to be worse than others, right?"
"What do you mean by 'pretty'?" Wang Guixiu yelled. "You're a girl, why do you have to dress so nicely? What kind of child is so particular? You've had such a comfortable life that you've started spending money recklessly! I have to have a serious talk with Shifeng. I can't control you anymore, but the family money is all earned by Shifeng with great difficulty, and you can't spend it recklessly!"
The corners of Shen Qian's mouth curled slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
She didn't want to argue with Wang Guixiu about money. After she married Chen Shifeng, she did become a full-time housewife and had no job, but the family's money was not all earned by Chen Shifeng. Chen Shifeng's salary was given by her father. When they got married, her parents were afraid that she would feel wronged, so they gave her this villa and a dowry of hundreds of thousands of yuan as a dowry. This was the basis for their relatively affluent life.
This old lady is really lying with her eyes open.
"Mom, you're wrong. We're not broke. Zhizhi is Shifeng and I's daughter, so we should spend the money we deserve. Didn't you always praise Xiaojuan for being smart, generous, and well-dressed? Why don't you let her dress up when it comes to Zhizhi?"
Wang Guixiu was speechless, her expression becoming complicated. She opened her mouth and finally snorted, "If you have money, just spend it. Anyway, don't expect me to take care of you in the future!"
Shen Qian's smile remained unchanged: "Mom, that's great. You should mind your own business and get angry less. Then we'll be happier."
After she finished speaking, she took her daughter upstairs.
Wang Guixiu was so angry that her face turned green. The reason she came to Yuecheng from the countryside was, on the one hand, because her son lived in a villa and she had to come with him to enjoy the good life, and on the other hand, to keep an eye on this woman for her son. She didn't expect that after so many years, this woman had some temper at the beginning, but she had smoothed it out. But today, she suddenly seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and was completely different from the woman who let her control her at ordinary times.
She sat on the sofa in a daze for a long time before she slapped her thigh in anger, shouting, "This is outrageous! No one takes me seriously!"
Chen Zhizhi returned to her room, hung the clothes she bought today in the closet, and then fell on the bed. Everything that happened today seemed like a dream.
Her mother bought her a closet full of nice clothes and threw away all the ugly clothes she had before.
After returning home, facing grandma's questioning, mom handled it calmly, not at all like a punching bag as usual. This is really... unbelievable!
But somehow, her mother's change made Zhizhi suddenly believe what she said to her in the amusement park today, that if she didn't want to live in the school dormitory, she wouldn't force her. Maybe her mother could really do it.
…
Chen Shifeng was extremely annoyed that day. He had been in meetings at the company all day and the calls from home kept coming one after another.
He had just finished a meeting and his phone was vibrating non-stop. His secretary took a look and handed the phone to him: "Mr. Chen, it's your mother calling."
Chen Shifeng picked up the phone and heard his mother's sobbing voice on the other end: "Son, you have to make the decision for me! I'm afraid I can't live like this anymore."
Chen Shifeng rubbed his temples: "Mom, what's wrong? Don't cry! Talk slowly."
"What else could it be? It's your wife!" Wang Guixiu's voice suddenly rose. "She actually asked the servant to throw away all of Zhizhi's clothes today! They were all bought with money, isn't that a waste? Although they were worn by Zhizhi's cousin, they were all good clothes. We should save as much as possible. It's not that our family can't afford to raise a child, but we should cultivate the habit of saving from a young age. She is so wasteful and has such an arrogant attitude. She doesn't even take me seriously. She even told me not to care about Zhizhi's affairs in the future. Son, you don't know, your wife's tone is like she wants to kick me out!"
Chen Shifeng frowned even more tightly, flipping through the documents in his hands, feeling very annoyed.
"By the way, your wife also said that Xiaojuan is not allowed to live at home. She also said that when Shiming's wife and Xiaojuan come, the whole family will rent a house outside. Look at what she said. She also said that Zhizhi can no longer live in the school dormitory. If you really don't come back to take care of it, the family will be in chaos!"
Chen Shifeng was already annoyed enough with all the complicated affairs at the company, but he didn't expect his wife to be so incompetent that she even had a conflict with her mother at home.
Although Zhizhi's clothes and whether she lived on campus were minor matters, her attitude towards his mother and his family...
Wang Guixiu continued to chatter on and on with tears in her eyes for a long time. Chen Shifeng finally managed to coax her into silence and immediately called the person marked as "wife" on his phone.
The other party didn't answer his call!
If Chen Qian's previous behavior only made Chen Shifeng feel irritated, then her not answering his call at this time made him even more annoyed.
Chen Shifeng's face suddenly darkened. He patiently dialed several more calls, but they all rang more than ten times before automatically hanging up. Shen Qian didn't even answer.
Chen Shifeng stared at the phone screen, his fingers tightened. With Shen Qian's attitude, did he really think he had no temper?
His impatience and anger intertwined, and he sent more than ten messages on WeChat.
[Chen Qian, what's wrong with you? Why don't you answer the phone? ]
"I've heard everything that happened today. What exactly do you mean by not letting my second brother's wife and Xiaojuan live at home? You even told them to rent a place outside. I've already agreed to Shiming's plan. Xiaojuan's school isn't far from our house, so it's convenient for the driver to pick her up. Mom can also help take care of the child, so that's great."
"Didn't my mom help take care of Zhizhi before? She worked so hard, and this is how you treat her?"
[My mother has worked hard for half her life, it's time for her to enjoy her retirement, why are you so ignorant? ]
Regarding boarding on campus, wasn't that already agreed upon when we chose this junior high school for Zhizhi? This is a boarding school, and the accommodations are pretty good. It's for her own good.
[I've told you before about buying clothes. Don't waste money if you still have clothes at home.]
【……】
Messages were sent one after another, but they still seemed to fall on deaf ears. Chen Shifeng's anger grew more and more intense.
[My family and the company don't all rely on me. If it weren't for me, Shen's Restaurant would have collapsed long ago.]
At this time, Shen Qian had just finished taking a shower and was lying comfortably on the bed. When she turned on her mobile phone, she saw a bunch of messages popping up on the screen. She couldn't help but sneer.
This is really weird. She just bought some clothes and took her daughter out for a trip, but this mother and son came to her one after another to accuse her?
What a hard life the original person had lived?
Shen Qian only glanced at it briefly and found that in addition to text messages, Chen Shifeng also sent long voice messages, each of which was 60 seconds long. She was too lazy to click on them. She dried her hair, locked the door, yawned, and went to bed.
She was exhausted after a long day and didn't want to be disturbed by anyone.
Before going to bed, she found an earplug to plug her ears.
In the middle of the night, Chen Shifeng returned home after a social event. Thinking of his wife's indifference to his messages, he looked angry.
The living room was silent. His mother, Wang Guixiu, had already gone back to her room to sleep. He changed his shoes and went straight upstairs to the master bedroom. The door was closed, so he reached out to turn the doorknob.
The door... was locked.
Chen Shifeng's face darkened instantly. He twisted it a few times but found that it couldn't be opened at all. Anger suddenly rushed to his forehead.
"Chen Qian!"
Chen Shifeng shouted in a low voice and knocked on the door patiently, but there was no movement from inside.
It was late at night, and his mother was always a light sleeper. Chen Shifeng was worried about making any noise and waking her up, so he gritted his teeth and called Shen Qian. The other party didn't answer the phone at all, so Chen Shifeng could only suppress his anger and send a message: [Open the door!]
He waited at the door with bated breath for a while, but the person inside did not respond at all. Shen Qian actually ignored him directly.
Not only did she talk back to his mother today, she also refused to answer the phone or reply to messages, and tonight she even locked the door and wouldn't let him in!
During all these years of marriage, Chen Shifeng had never encountered such a situation. In his impression, Shen Qian had always been gentle and obedient. When his mother first came to their house from the countryside, she occasionally threw a tantrum, but soon she stopped saying anything. As for locking him out of the room, it had never happened!
Chen Shifeng was so angry that his fists were clenched, but in the end he did not continue knocking on the door.
Next to it was the room of his daughter Chen Zhizhi and the servant. He didn't want to continue knocking and wake up everyone in the house, so he had to go to the guest room on the first floor to sleep in a depressed mood.
Chen Shifeng was used to sleeping in his own bed, and he slept in the guest room for most of the night without falling asleep. When he woke up the next day, he wanted to have a good chat with Chen Qian, but his mother told him that she had gone out early in the morning.
Chen Shifeng: “…”
