Chapter 293 No One Cares About You, So I Care About You
"Mom, my dad is right. We don't want the food because we should give it to them." Dabao also said angrily.
Sun knew what kind of character Old Lady Chen was, so she stopped arguing with her and turned around to move her packed luggage out.
Dabao took this opportunity to go back into the house to pack his things, secretly feeling fortunate that he had deposited all the money he had earned in the past few months in the bank early on. If it had been hidden in a jar, it would have been difficult to take it out.
Arriving at the yard, just as he was about to go to the kitchen with Sun to put away the pots and pans, he was stopped by Old Lady Chen.
"Second brother, what are you doing?"
Sun said patiently, "We may not want the house, but we should have a share of the cooking utensils!"
"Should be bullshit, all the furniture in this house was bought by me. You have added nothing to this house since you got married, and you still have the nerve to take the furniture? Don't even think about it!"
"Okay, even if I haven't bought anything, Zhanliang has worked hard for so many years, so we should have a share of the things in the house. Why don't you let us touch this or take that?"
"I won't give it to you, what can you do to me?" Old Mrs. Chen sneered, as if to say, "I won't give it to you, you can hit me if you dare."
Seeing this, Dabao was so angry that his eyes were blazing with anger. "Don't go too far. Leave yourself some room."
"I won't leave any room for maneuver. My third son is a scholar. He will pass the imperial examination next autumn. Then I can enjoy the happiness with him.
But you guys, don't think that just because the eldest wife is living a good life after I kicked her out, you want to follow my example.
I tell you, not everyone can be so lucky. Don't regret coming to me when you can't eat. If that happens, I won't care about you even if you starve to death."
Seeing that Old Lady Chen was so unreasonable, Wu Baoan couldn't stand it any longer. "Old sister-in-law, this is your fault. How could you stop Zhan Liang's family from taking some cooking utensils? Aren't you just making things difficult for Zhan Liang and his family?"
Old Mrs. Chen curled her lips, looking nonchalant. "What's wrong with me giving him a hard time? Anyway, the division document didn't mention giving them pots, bowls, and pans, so I'm not in the wrong no matter what they say."
"Auntie, if you say that, I'll have to rewrite the paperwork. How can you do things this way?"
"Wu Baoan, what do you mean? You took a shit and then sat back down. How can you be a village head like that? I'm telling you, Wu Baoan, as long as it's not written in the family division document, they have no share in anything."
As she spoke, Old Lady Chen glanced at him sideways in annoyance, "Alright, this is none of your business. Go do what you need to do and don't get involved here."
Wu Baoan didn't expect that Old Lady Chen was so unkind. He was very angry and blamed himself for being careless and not writing it clearly.
You can divide the property among others. Even if the father, son and brother are brainless, the parents will not let their children starve, so they will give as much as they deserve.
How could they be so cruel as not to even give us bowls and chopsticks?
He threw his sleeves in anger and said, "Auntie, you are so disappointing."
Old Mrs. Chen sneered, "I'm disappointed. I raised such an unfilial thing. He even quarreled with his parents over a child. He's disobedient and unfilial."
Chen Zhanliang now understood that in the eyes of his parents, he was just a laborer and was of no use at all.
He didn't want to get entangled with the unreasonable old lady Chen anymore, so he waved his hand towards Sun.
"Cuiqin, let's go. We can still live without the things."
"Master, you are right. I don't want these junk!" Sun picked up the things and led Erbao out of the yard.
Watching them turn and leave, Old Man Chen frowned and gritted his teeth anxiously.
"Old woman, you are so foolish! Why did you divide the family again? How are we going to live in the future?"
Old Mrs. Chen glared at him angrily and started cursing.
"Stop crying in front of me, can you blame me for this?
It was that damned one who was trying to split up the family. What were you doing then if you didn't want to? Why didn't you just fart?
How are we going to live now? How are we going to live now? You can’t live without that unfilial thing, right?”
"Look at you, I just said that casually, why are you scolding me? I think Lao Er and the others are worthless, but I made you angry."
"You deserve to be scolded! You are always good at talking after the fact. What were you doing at that time? That bastard was sticking his neck out and glaring at you, making a fuss about dividing the family property. You just picked up a stick and beat him. I don't believe he dared to make a fuss.
But you, like a cowering turtle, dared not even fart. Now that they're gone, you're the one who's got the upper hand. If you want to vent my anger, go and find them with a stick and beat them to death. I'll go to jail with you. Do you dare?"
"Okay, old woman, calm down. Don't get so angry just by talking. How can I bear to let you go to jail with me!" Old man Chen scratched his head awkwardly, smiled unnaturally, and dared not say anything more.
Seeing his cowardly look, Old Lady Chen got angry and said, "Look at you, you spineless thing! I must have been blind to marry a jerk like you who can't even make a fart. Get out of here right now! I'm so annoyed just looking at you."
"She's fucking sick. She takes out her anger on me. What kind of person is she?" Old man Chen muttered to himself and took two steps back, ignoring her.
Chen Zhancai saw the old couple quarreling, and hurried to Mrs. Chen's side, saying, "Mom, what are you doing? The family property has already been divided, why are you still so angry? If you get angry, your son will be worried."
"Oh, my dear son, I'm not angry, I'm anxious!" Old Mrs. Chen frowned and shook her head. "The family has been divided, but who will do all the work in our family from now on?"
"Don't worry, mom. I have my daughter-in-law here. I promise you won't starve to death."
As soon as the words fell, Ruhua came up to him with big strides.
"Mom, I saw everything in the house just now. They don't care about you, but I do. From now on, all the chores in our family will be left to me. I promise to serve you and my dad comfortably and happily."
Hearing these words, Old Lady Chen was overjoyed. She looked at Ruhua with a pleasing look. "My dear daughter-in-law, you are not lying to me, are you?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? I, Ruhua, am a nail in the coffin. I've never even fooled a dog in my life, so why would I fool you? Whether it's washing clothes or cooking, or steaming buns and scrambling eggs, no task is difficult for me, Ruhua."
"Okay, if you say so, I'll be counting on you from now on."
"Don't worry, mother. Even if you are lying on the kang now, I won't despise you. I promise to take good care of you."
"You are good in every way, child, except that you are not careful with your words." Old Mrs. Chen shook her head and smiled, glaring at Ruhua in an angry manner.
Ruhua also grinned, "Zhancai likes my straightforward personality, right, husband?"
"That's right, I like your straightforwardness, it just feels different."
"Mom is still here, what are you talking about!"
"Okay, I won't say any more." Chen Zhancai straightened his expression and smiled at Old Lady Chen. "Mom, now Ruhua is taking care of the family. You can rest assured this time, right?"
"Don't worry, I'll live with you guys and enjoy a peaceful life from now on." Old Mrs. Chen said contentedly, taking Ruhua's hand as she walked into the house...
