The fat man knew she wasn't heartless. It was simply a mother's love for her daughter...
Chen Rong's sudden marriage and the family's declining quality of life caused Fatty to be depressed for a while.
Then they rallied and spent almost five months working on it—using the connections of Deputy Factory Director Li's father-in-law to get Chen Fang into the China National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Import & Export Corporation, which was renamed this year and later became the famous "COFCO"!
The family was stunned by the fat man's crazy antics!
What kind of organization is that? It's not a secure job, it's a golden job! How did he manage to get the third brother in there without making a sound?
With Chen Fang's new job, the financial burden on her family was greatly reduced.
Zhou Haiqin then set her sights on Chen Yan.
She introduced Chen Yan to a young social worker, like Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng, who was waiting to take over a job and had no real work to do all day; he was one of those idle people in society.
The moment this guy saw Chen Yan, his eyes lit up with greed.
Chen Yan hesitated as soon as she saw him, but remembering Zhou Haiqin's words, she still endured it and prepared to complete the process.
The two encountered thugs while strolling in the park. A group of five surrounded them.
The man, all bark and no bite, said, "What's the meaning of this, guys? Don't you even know who around here doesn't know my boss...?"
The leader spat heavily on the ground: "I don't know any big brother. Do you even know me?"
Who are you?
Have you heard of the "Five Tigers of Red Star"?
The man's Adam's apple bobbed violently as he swallowed hard. The Five Tigers of Red Star...it was them!
The one in the lead is called "Descending Tiger," and the others are like "Thunder Tiger," "Smiling Tiger," and so on... These five are the newly crowned top stars in this area! They're the top!
The man forced a smile and asked, "What...what do you want to do?"
"What do you want, friend? I want to talk to you about something."
"Huh, what's up?"
"Look behind you, do you see that road? Walk along that road, turn right and walk 150 meters, otherwise you won't be able to catch the No. 2 bus."
The man finally understood what they wanted to do. He glanced at Chen Yan, still reluctant, and shouted, "I'm calling the police!"
Brother Yang swiftly pulled out a knife, and the man instantly cowered. He walked over and slapped the man's face twice with the back of his hand: "Aren't you going to call the police? Go ahead and call them, I'll hear you!"
The man was almost in tears: "What, what do you want?!"
"Nothing much, we just thought this woman was pretty, and we figured, hehehe..."
The other four also let out a "hehehe" laugh. The man yelled "Ah!" and then abandoned Chen Yan and ran away.
After he disappeared from sight, Chen Yan shouted angrily, "Chen Kang! Get out here right now!"
The fat man scratched his head and walked out from behind a tree. Chen Yan grabbed his ear and twisted it angrily: "You've grown bold, haven't you? You dare to send someone to stop your own sister!"
The fat man begged for mercy, saying, "Look at that cowardly guy! How could such a bastard be worthy of my sister?"
Brother Yang and his "Red Star Five Tigers" chimed in, "That's right, that's right, how could someone like him be worthy of our Sister Yan!"
Chen Yan rolled her eyes speechlessly and dragged the fat man home.
Back home, Zhou Haiqin pulled out the feather duster: "You little bastard, are you trying to rebel?"
The fat man hesitated, "Mom, don't say that. It's not good for you from a genetic point of view."
Chen Yan burst out laughing...
Enraged, Zhou Haiqin grabbed a feather duster and started whipping the fat man's buttocks.
He bent over and took several slaps, but Zhou Haiqin couldn't bring herself to hit him anymore. She angrily asked him, "Tell me, what do you want?"
The fat man became serious as well: "Mom, you've kept my eldest sister's marriage a secret from me. What's done is done, and there's nothing I can do about it. But my second and third sisters' marriages must go through me. Otherwise, if you introduce one to me, I'll ruin it!"
"you!"
Seeing his angry wife, Old Chen stepped forward and said, "He is the one who is responsible for the household, so we should consider his suggestion."
Zhou Haiqin shouted angrily, "Then take her away and you'll support her from now on!"
"I'll raise them! Mom, do you know you've ruined my important plans? I had already made arrangements for my three older sisters, plans that would make our family rich and powerful!"
Does he really have a plan? Zhou Haiqin doesn't believe it.
The fat man said, "Do you remember when I moved out?"
Old Chen and Zhou Haiqin were both puzzled. They remembered that the brat had learned so many things so easily from who-knows-where…
Seeing that they understood, the fat man said, "I was originally waiting for the right time to teach my three older sisters and then start a moving company. Beijing is so big, with so many opportunities, it's sure to make a lot of money!"
Zhou Haiqin became agitated again: "Nonsense! Who owns a company?"
"Mom, just because we can't now doesn't mean we can't in the future. There are more and more unemployed people in society, and the government can't provide jobs for so many people. Sooner or later, that day will come."
This seems to make some sense?
The fat man pulled Chen Yan aside: "I firmly believe it will happen, so I must keep Second Sister here. Besides, she has such a good temper; I'm afraid she'll be bullied after she gets married!"
The following sentence touched her parents. They knew their second child's personality all too well. She was as soft-hearted as a noodle, and timid; she wouldn't dare utter a sound if someone bullied her.
To prevent Zhou Haiqin from playing matchmaker again, the fat man actually brought Chen Yan to live in the courtyard house.
Fortunately, Chen Fang, that lively character, is still at home, so the two elders don't have to worry about being lonely.
A year has passed, and Yu Li is no longer the pale-faced, unloved woman she once was, forced to live cautiously.
Yu Li is now dressed in brand new clothes from head to toe. She bought the collared top she had her eye on last year, and also bought the cotton leather shoes. Her already tall figure looks even more outstanding in the leather shoes.
To earn money, Fatty took every opportunity to earn extra cash this year. He even brought Aunt Fatty into the group, and with Chen Yan and Yu Li joining in, the group worked together very well.
After winter set in, Yu Li immediately started using clam oil. Her hands became soft, delicate, and exceptionally smooth, no longer chapped and cracked like they were last year.
Chen Yan's arrival stirred up a small but significant ripple in the courtyard.
It's not that she's introverted; she rarely leaves the house and doesn't interact much with other people in the courtyard.
"Not small" means that such a beautiful girl entered the courtyard, and she was single, so two people couldn't sit still.
The fat man went to work early that day, and Chen Yan went home to see her parents.
Only Yu Li was home when her third aunt came over: "Yu Li, is Yu Li home?"
