After hearing Li Ping's words, Chen Wanglong understood what she meant. She undoubtedly didn't want to take on Zhuang Sheng's mess. Finally, Chen Wanglong turned his attention to Chen Jianguo. But before he could say anything, Chen Jianguo quickly waved his hand.
"Dad, don't look at me. You know, they both have children, but only one. What about us? I'm the one who takes care of you two the most, right? I don't have the energy to take care of Zhuang Sheng anymore!"
As soon as Chen Jianguo said this, Li Ping became a little unhappy.
"Brother, what are you saying? The old couple took turns serving each other, but how come you ended up serving them the most? That's so unfair!"
"You are just making a fuss about this! Second son's wife, you are really a nobody for making a fuss about this." Chen Jianguo retorted with some dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Oh! You can say that without any evidence, in front of so many villagers. Those who don't know would think that our second family treats the old man harshly! As if you are the only filial one."
"Second brother's wife, why are you so serious?"
"This is a matter of reputation. You've taken all the good things for yourself, and we've been blamed for all the bad things. How can we not be so serious about this?"
"What's the matter? In front of all these fellow villagers, you still want to compete with me to see who's better?"
"This isn't about arguing, it's just a matter of fact..."
"Okay! Stop arguing!" Chen Jianguo and Li Ping started arguing with each other. Suddenly, a voice interrupted their quarrel. The speaker was Zhuang Sheng's aunt Chen Jianmin.
"You all have children and jobs! If you don't take care of Zhuang Sheng, I will! No matter what, Zhuang Sheng is my eldest nephew, the only bloodline left by my sister. Even if it means taking care of Zhuang Sheng for the rest of his life, as his aunt, I am willing to do so."
Just as Chen Jianmin finished speaking, Chen Jianguo's voice rang out again: "Xiao Min! You said this, serving Zhuang Sheng is not a short-term thing, it may be a lifetime thing. Since you have taken on this job, don't think about bothering us when the time comes!"
"That's right! As Zhuang Sheng's relatives, we can stand up for him and speak up for him. That's already our duty as a family. Why do we have to make things so difficult for ourselves?"
At this point, Li Ping and Chen Jianguo were on the same page. This was undoubtedly due to their fear that Chen Jianmin would be too busy to handle things and would eventually have to trouble them. A day or two was fine, ten days or half a month would be fine, but how could anyone endure this for years?
"Second sister-in-law, don't worry. Since I have decided to take care of Zhuang Sheng, it will be a lifelong thing. I will never trouble you." Chen Jianmin's words gave them a reassurance.
Chen Wanglong looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Ever since they were little, he had taught them to be kind and filial to their elders. Now, on the surface, they seemed to be filial, but their kindness was not as good as expected.
Chen Wanglong sighed helplessly and shook his head. He never expected that the one who would finally accept Zhuang Sheng would be his married daughter.
"Xiao Min! You have to think this through carefully. Will your family agree?" Chen Wanglong looked at Chen Jianmin, feeling somewhat doubtful. Even his blood uncle couldn't do it, let alone an uncle-in-law.
Chen Jianmin nodded and said to Chen Wanglong, "Dad, don't worry! Even if Gao Shu doesn't want to, he has to agree!" This was undoubtedly Chen Jianmin's own decision. After thinking for a moment, he added, "Even if he really doesn't want to, I will divorce him and take care of Zhuang Sheng myself. I can't let my sister's son really end up sleeping on the streets."
Chen Jianmin's words undoubtedly sweetened Zhuang Sheng's heart. In the end, the person who cared about him the most was his aunt.
