Chapter 266 Marrying a Wife and Forgetting the Mother
This scene really irritated the old man Chen and his wife who were standing outside the yard watching the excitement.
I thought someone would deal with Chen Qingqing today, just beat her to death or cripple her, or bring her to court.
Everything she had belonged to their old house.
But now there is no hope, the old couple returned home with a look of sullenness on their faces.
Old Mrs. Chen kept cursing as she walked.
"This bunch of useless idiots, all of them are big and strong, but they can't even handle a dead girl.
It's so fucking useless! If only that stick had hit that damned girl on the head, with that 'crack' sound, she would have been dumbfounded if not dead."
"That's right. I feel anxious for them just watching them."
Old man Chen also had a face full of gloating.
"Those guys are so stupid. Why would they beat that idiot? Dozens of them surrounded the dead girl and beat her. I don't believe they can't kill her."
"Who says it's not true? If we really beat that damn girl to death, all that huge fortune will be ours!"
"Don't worry, old woman. The damn girl has already made enemies. The gang that Butcher Li brought with him are all scoundrels. They usually bully others. How could they have suffered such humiliation? Maybe one day that damn girl will be ambushed. By then, Chen Zhanshan and his wife will be at your mercy."
"You're right, let's just wait for this day!"
The two of them chatted and laughed as they entered the yard, and saw Chen Zhancai and Ruhua just getting up.
"Dad, Mom, why are you out for a walk so early?" Chen Zhancai stretched lazily and walked out of the house.
Old man Chen rolled his eyes at him unhappily and said, "It's still early. The sun is almost burning our butts."
"Dad, what are you talking about? I just woke up a little late, why are you being so sarcastic?"
"You, don't forget your status as a scholar. You will take the imperial examinations in the future. You must take care of your body and not indulge in romantic affairs all day long."
Old man Chen recalled the pleasant sounds of sex last night and broke into a cold sweat for his son.
How can this be achieved by ordinary people?
If this continues, you will be exhausted to death sooner or later.
Old Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Son, your father is right. Our family is counting on you to shine brightly. You must take good care of yourself, understand?"
Hearing this, Chen Zhancai felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose awkwardly, "Mom, don't worry, I know what to do."
"Okay, I'm glad you know." Old Mrs. Chen didn't sleep well last night and felt pain all over her body. She hurriedly said, "Zhancai, come to my room. I want to tell you something."
"Mom, if you have anything to say, come to my room and tell me. I also want to talk to you about something!"
Chen Zhancai let the old man and his wife into the house and said, "Ruhua, go to the kitchen and see if there is any food. Bring it over later. I'm almost starving."
"Okay, you wait." Ruhua turned and left the house.
"Mom, what's the matter? Just tell me." Chen Zhancai asked.
The two side rooms have always been occupied by the main house. I didn't know until I slept in them, and I was really shocked when I slept in them.
That room was not suitable for sleeping at all. The bedding was so damp that water could be wrung out of it after being left there for a while, and there was a musty smell in the room.
If she sleeps on it for a few more nights, her old bones will die.
Old Mrs. Chen sighed first, then raised her hand and gently beat her legs.
"Son, I'm old now and I'm afraid of moisture. I slept in the side wing last night and felt uncomfortable all over. How about you and Ruhua move over to sleep in the side wing?"
"Mom, Ruhua is your new daughter-in-law. As a mother-in-law, how can you let her live in the side building?"
"Zhancai, you can still sleep in the west room. It won't affect your studies. Let Ruhua live in the side building for a few months. When you pass the imperial examination in the fall, I'll build you two more decent houses. Is that okay?"
"Mom, how can you say such a thing? Ruhua grew up in Chunfeng Tower and has never suffered any hardship. If you ask her to sleep in the side building, that's no different from chasing her away. No, I don't agree." Chen Zhancai refused.
Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that people said that a man forgets his mother after getting married.
In the past, the main house lived in the side building, and I don’t know how they slept. It was really not easy.
She felt a little guilty, but it disappeared in an instant.
She frowned and shook her head, "Son, Ruhua can't bear the hardship, so you have the heart to let me suffer?"
"Of course my son feels sorry for his mother, but I spent money to marry Ruhua. If she runs away secretly, wouldn't the money be wasted?"
"She looks like that, and you still spent money on her?" Old Mrs. Chen looked surprised.
Old man Chen couldn't help but scold, "You prodigal son, how come you don't know our family's financial situation? You want to kill me and your mother!"
"Dad, Mom, I didn't spend any money from home. It was the money Ruhua gave me." Chen Zhancai almost let the cat out of the bag and quickly changed the subject.
In order to avoid living in that dark and damp thatched house, he started to talk nonsense.
"Although I have become a scholar respected by everyone, I cannot stop here. I still need to take the autumn examination.
If I want to pass the imperial examination, I have to study very hard. But this building is so dark that I can't even see a thing without a lamp. How can I study very hard in such an environment?"
Old man Chen shook his head. "Zhancai, you should know about your mother's cold legs. When she gets sick, the pain is so severe that she can't even get out of bed. You just complain about the dark sky. That's fine. Just light a few more lamps."
"Dad, you're talking so lightly, burning the candle and working hard doesn't cost any money!"
Chen Zhancai started talking nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Over the years, your son has developed a good habit of thrift and diligence, and I won't tolerate any extravagance or waste. I work till midnight every night, and to save lamp oil, I read under the moonlight. If you really don't want your son to achieve anything, then I will move to the side building, so I don't have to get up in the middle of the night to study."
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she panicked. She had been counting on having a good time with her son.
As the saying goes, if you want to be respected in front of others, you must suffer behind others.
In order to be able to stand up straight in the future,
In order to have fine clothes and delicious food,
In order to control that dead girl,
We have gone through the difficult times in the past. Now we are just sleeping in a small building. What does this little hardship matter?
Thinking of this, she smiled and nodded.
"Zhancai, my good son, from your diligence and thriftiness, I know you will have a great future. You and Ruhua stay in this room and don't go anywhere else. Just study hard. Good days are ahead!"
"Mom, you're right. Good days are coming soon. When my son passes the imperial examination, I'll order Wu Baoan to select a new piece of land for us and build a large house with four courtyards. There will be plenty of rooms, and you and my dad can live in any room you want. If you feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night, you can move at any time."
"Oh my, isn't that just pure nonsense? Are you going to sleep or not?" Old Mrs. Chen grinned, feeling fooled...
