Chapter 106: Going to the steel plant is just a daydream

Chen Xiang was startled at first, and then when she saw who was in front of her, she was stunned again.

It turned out to be her second brother Chen Jie!

After two lifetimes, we finally meet again today!

It's been a long time...

Chen Xiang raised her eyelids slightly and looked at Chen Jie carefully with a rather sharp gaze. He had a pair of not-so-obvious triangular eyes, fair skin, thin lips, a height of a little over 1.7 meters, and a thin figure.

He gives people the impression of being shrewd, smooth and eloquent. No wonder he was able to become the person in charge of South Africa in his previous life!

Chen Xiang said calmly: "Second brother."

"Little sister! You're finally back!"

Chen Jie was very excited.

After glancing at Chen Xiang, his eyes quietly moved to the tricycle.

Look what's up there.

It was worth it for Chen Xiang and Zhou Dongmeng to get up early and go out.

At this moment, Zhou's mother also came to the courtyard and said softly to her daughter-in-law, "Your second brother has been waiting for you here for a long time. He said something happened at home and asked you to go back..."

Mother Zhou paused for a moment and turned to look outside the fenced yard.

I didn’t see my son…

The woman frowned and asked, "Didn't Mengzi come back with you?"

She also wanted the young couple to go back to Chen's house together.

What if Xiaoxiang goes back alone and is bullied by Dai Jinhua, that shrewish mother?

Mother Zhou was a little anxious.

Chen Xiang put the money bag in her cotton padded quilt and handed it to her, then said, "Mengzi went to the construction site, so I came back first."

Zhou's mother couldn't help but complain: "This child is too unreliable!"

"If I had known I would have picked you up."

"Don't blame Mengzi. He asked me to wait there before he left, but I didn't wait for him and came back first. Mom, please go into the house. My second brother and I will go back for a while."

Mother Zhou was a little hesitant: "You..."

Can one person do it?

Chen Xiang naturally noticed the worry in her mother-in-law's eyes.

She smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry, Mom."

She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Okay, I'll go back to the house first..."

Mother Zhou was talking when she secretly glanced at Chen Jie. Seeing that he was not looking in her direction, she quickly leaned over to whisper in her daughter-in-law's ear: "If something seems wrong, run back quickly."

Chen Xiang pursed her lips and smiled slightly, then nodded vigorously.

"Yeah, I know!"

After Zhou's mother entered the room, she turned to look at Chen Jie, curled her lips and asked in a cold voice: "Second brother, what are you looking at?"

Chen Jie looked away from the tricycle and put on a smile: "Just taking a look. Mainly because I have never been to your in-laws' house, I am still worried that you will be wronged."

Chen Xiang snorted coldly: "Is it as much as the grievances I suffered at my mother's house?"

"Chen Xiang!"

The man's face immediately darkened.

Chen Xiang: "Why did you come to see me?"

"Mom is sick! You've been married for a few days, and you haven't come home once. Naturally, Mom misses you. I can't eat or sleep these few days. Today, I can't even get off the kang. You should hurry up and come home with me to see me."

After hearing this, Chen Xiang's expression changed immediately.

She hurried forward, grabbed her second brother's sleeve, and said with a worried look on her face: "Mom is sick? Is it serious? Then why didn't you come and tell me earlier! Second brother, do you want me to not even see Mom for the last time?"

Chen Jie was shocked by her words and waved his hands hastily: "It's not that serious yet."

"I have to go home and see if it's serious or not."

While Chen Xiang was talking, she had already pulled the man out of the fenced yard and urged him, "Go, go, go, go quickly."

Chen Jie followed closely.

Halfway through the walk, he couldn't help but ask, "Little sister, where did you go with your cart this morning?"

Chen Xiang: "Send Zhou Dongmeng to work."

"But I just saw a pot and a stove in the car. Are you doing some small business? Little sister, why don't you take me with you to make some money?"

Chen Xiang frowned and rolled her eyes at him: "Aren't you going to the steel factory?"

Chen Jie looked depressed and sighed: "There is not enough money at home. Going to the steel factory is just a daydream. I am not young anymore. I have to save some money to find a wife."

Chen Xiang suddenly comforted him: "Second brother, you and your elder brother are the only two college students in the village. It would be a waste of your talents if you were to become a small trader!"

"If you ask me, you still need to do some ideological work on our mother. To tell you the truth, before I got married, I heard mom and dad complain about this in the middle of the night."

Chen Jie stopped in his tracks, his triangular eyes stood up: "What did she say?"

Seeing that he had taken the bait, Chen Xiang's eyes flashed. After a few seconds of hesitation, she said, "Mom said that the money you spent on connections at the steel factory is so much that you may not be able to earn that much even if you work in the factory for a lifetime."

"Did she really say that?"

The man slowly narrowed his eyes, and anger was revealed on his shrewd face.

Chen Xiang didn't answer directly, but turned around and muttered: "Don't you know what kind of person Mom is? How could our family be penniless after all these years?"

Chen Jie clenched his back teeth hard.

He followed his sister's footsteps and snorted, "There is no money at home."

Chen Xiang looked back and exchanged a deep look with the man, then smiled and said, "Second brother, I really feel sorry for you!"
