Chapter 378: Making Trouble Again
"You said occupying the mountain!"
Old man Chen kept shaking his head.
"No, no, that ungrateful thing is useless. He is as stingy as a miser and won't give up a single hair.
If he really had a conscience, it would be considered filial piety if he secretly sent us a few pieces of meat during festivals.
But he is just like a person who came out of a crack in the stone, with a heart of stone and no gratitude at all.
Old woman, you'd better not try to get involved with that ungrateful person. In the end, you won't get anything out of it and will only make you angry. It's not worth it."
"Even if I'm really angry, I have to disgust him."
Old Mrs. Chen sneered indifferently and continued,
"Old man, you also know that Chen Zhanshan is wearing shorts in the middle of winter and is shivering. His family is rich.
I heard that his useless son opened a big restaurant in town, and that damned girl was even more wilted like spinach after being splashed with water, and now she was standing up.
Although not as wealthy as the rich, we can still be considered a wealthy family here.
As the saying goes, 'thin-skinned people can't eat, but thick-skinned people can eat as much as they want'. As long as we are willing to take risks, even if the food slips through the boss's fingers, it will be enough for us to eat for a month or two."
Old man Chen frowned, he knew all about these things, and now the family was living a prosperous life.
If he hadn't split up his family, he would be the grandfather of a wealthy family.
I used to eat well, live well, and even play crickets and birds when I had nothing to do. But now, I can hardly feel full.
As the saying goes, "When a woman is in charge, the house collapses; when a woman is in charge, she suffers."
It's all my fault for being such a coward, letting a spendthrift woman ruin my family to such a state.
If she hadn't been so stubborn and insisted on having her own way, things wouldn't have gotten to this point today.
The more Old Man Chen thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt even more uncomfortable. He really wanted to show some manliness and vent his anger.
Let this damn old woman know how big a mistake she made...
Seeing him keep his head down and say nothing, Old Lady Chen couldn't help but raise her voice, a little dissatisfied, "I'm talking to you, why are you tilting your head? You're just farting!"
Old man Chen didn't want to pay any attention to Old Lady Chen, but he was afraid that if he angered her, he would be scolded.
Although I'm not afraid of her, the way she cried, made a fuss, and acted like she was hanging herself was too scary.
Forget it. I've been a coward for half my life anyway. Why should I bother her? At least I still have a wife, which is much better than those bachelors.
Thinking of this, I felt calm again.
He showed his yellow teeth and chuckled, "Whatever you say is what it is. I'll listen to you, isn't that enough?"
"Okay, I'm relieved when you say that. As long as you listen to me, I promise to make sure you have a good meal. If you can really come up with some money to spend, we old couple can go out to eat too."
"Alright, old woman, stop with all this nonsense. Tell me how you plan to get money from the boss."
"What's so difficult about this? We can just act like a weasel looking for food and act according to circumstances." After saying this, Old Lady Chen turned around and walked out.
Old man Chen was stunned. "Old woman, what are you doing?"
"You idiot, of course you're going to go ask that heartless bastard for money!"
"Going now? Isn't that a bit hasty?"
"What a haste! Let's just surprise him and leave without further delay."
Old Mrs. Chen pulled Old Man Chen out of the house.
At this time, Chen Zhanshan came back from the sugar factory. He had just made a cup of tea and hadn't taken a few sips when he heard footsteps outside the door.
He looked up and saw that it was Old Man Chen and his wife. He couldn't help but frowned.
Night owls come into the house for no reason. This old couple is definitely up to no good...
While he was in a daze, Old Lady Chen walked in with a kind fake smile on her face.
"Hey~~Zhanshan, are you at home?"
Chen Zhanshan came to his senses. Although he was facing his parents who gave birth to him, his heart was like a pool of water, without a single ripple.
But he still stood up and asked indifferently, "What's the matter with you coming to my house?"
Chen Zhanshan deliberately emphasized the word "my home" just to let them know that this is his home, so they should not talk nonsense and should not covet things that they should not covet.
"Look at what you are saying. Can't your mother come to see you if there is nothing wrong?" After saying this, Old Mrs. Chen hurriedly poked Old Man Chen with her hand.
Old Man Chen understood and quickly agreed, "Yes, your mother is right. She's been having dreams these days about you crying and making a fuss as a child, pooping and peeing. She's worried about you, so she wants to come and see you."
Chen Zhanshan looked at the old couple's hypocritical appearance, feeling very annoyed, and said with a cold face,
"We broke off our relationship a long time ago. I'm doing well now. There's no need for you to worry about me."
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to slap him hard in the face like she used to.
You really gave him face. If he didn't want to get some benefits, I wouldn't piss on you!
She took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and forced a stiff smile.
"Zhanshan, look at what you're saying. Even though we've separated and severed our relationship, you're my son and I'm your mother. This is an indisputable fact. As the saying goes, 'A son is the flesh of his mother.' Is there any mother in the world who doesn't miss her son?"
"Yes, Zhanshan, your mother is right."
Old man Chen quickly took over the conversation.
"We may have had some disagreements in the past, but no matter what, we are still your parents.
As the saying goes, "The sky is big, the earth is big, but nothing is bigger than the kindness of parents."
If your mother and I hadn't raised you with all our hard work, would you have grown up like this? Would you have been able to live the good life you have today?
You can ignore us, but as parents, we can't be heartless and ungrateful.
In our hearts, you will always be a child who never grows up!"
As soon as the words fell, Old Mrs. Chen was very satisfied and gave Old Man Chen an approving look with a smile.
Seeing this, Old Man Chen became even more interested. Without waiting for Chen Zhanshan to speak, he started talking non-stop.
"Zhanshan, there's actually no deep blood feud between us. It's just a few trivial family matters. We shouldn't make it like we're enemies.
No matter where I go, I am your father.
Your father and I are more reasonable. If you have unreasonable parents, it will give you a headache.
I block your door every day and make a fuss to see if you feel upset.
But then again, your mother and I are not that kind of people, and we would never do something so shameful..."
