Chapter 380 Let You Eat Enough
I really underestimated him. In the past, if I treated him with a little kindness, he would want to take his heart out. I didn't expect that he is so stubborn now and won't be persuaded by anything.
Old Mrs. Chen's eyes were red and she was panting with anger. She glared at Chen Zhanshan fiercely, and her palms were itching to hit him twice to vent her anger.
But she didn't dare, after all, she had a document of severing the engagement approved by the government. If she hit anyone, that damn girl would have to report her to the authorities when she came back.
At this point, she knew that it was pointless to say more, but she was unwilling to give up. Wouldn't it be a waste of time if she left empty-handed?
She turned her head and looked around.
Suddenly, my eyes lit up and I saw a plate of cakes on a table not far away.
She swallowed subconsciously and came up with an idea.
Since that bastard refuses to give money, just give these things to her as a gift!
Old Mrs. Chen came to the table quickly, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, and did not forget to greet Old Man Chen,
"Old man, don't just stand there like an idiot. Come quickly. This is delicious, much better than a big pancake."
Seeing this, Old Man Chen didn't care about anything and just walked over, picked up a piece and started eating. "Oh, what is this? It's sweet and tastes really good. I have to eat more."
"Okay, just eat one piece first, and we can save it for later when we get home." Old Mrs. Chen said as she put all the cakes into her pocket.
Chen Zhanshan was a little amused by their actions.
A man without a face is invincible.
Before the relationship was severed, his parents were also like this. Why didn't he realize earlier that they were such selfish people?
Thinking about it now, I really was like a fool back then.
Chen Zhanshan was amazed at the speed of Old Lady Chen. The two of them were spitting everywhere. Their pockets were greasy and twisted, and their hands were cracked and black.
He wanted to speak up to stop them, but he couldn't eat the snacks if he took them back. So he thought better of it and let them be!
There was only one empty plate left on the table.
Old Mrs. Chen was very satisfied and glanced at Chen Zhanshan, "Old man, let's go."
"Okay, let's go home." Old man Chen followed Old Lady Chen out happily. He couldn't help but glance at her pocket, licking his lips and clicking his lips.
"Old lady, what was that thing you just ate called? It was my first time eating it. It melted in my mouth, so smooth and tender, and it had a light floral fragrance. It was really good."
"Look how greedy you are. Can you be a little more ambitious?" Old Lady Chen glared at him in disapproval. "I'm telling you, this thing seems to be called osmanthus cake. I heard it's very expensive. So, is this trip worthwhile?"
"It was worth the trip, old woman. You're really great. I thought we'd be chased out in disgrace, tails between our legs. Fortunately, you have good eyesight and spotted this precious treasure."
Old Mrs. Chen looked very proud. "That's right. Fortunately, I reacted quickly. Look, I've found dinner tonight. We'll make it soon."
"Don't worry, old woman. This is a rare thing. Why don't we keep it and satisfy our cravings slowly."
"Why keep it? Let's satisfy our craving first."
After saying this, Mrs. Chen sighed softly.
"I can see now that Chen Zhanshan, that bastard, is living a very comfortable life.
I thought that being able to eat white rice every meal was a life of paradise, but who would have thought that people have to eat snacks every day.
There's even a large plate on the table. You're not eating yet, so why is it on the table? It's just showing off!"
"Yes, old lady, if we can have snacks every day in the future, I will be satisfied in this life."
Hearing what Old Man Chen said, Old Lady Chen rolled her eyes at him.
"You are just a toad in a well, you have never seen the sky, this thing is nothing to you!
When our son comes back after passing the imperial examination, even this thing won't be able to be displayed in public.
What we eat and use must be carefully selected, if not one in a million, and the cakes must be tribute from the imperial palace."
Old man Chen scratched his head and asked, "Oh, how much will that cost?"
"Look at your poor behavior of making a fuss about nothing. You don't even want to hear me say you're a blockhead and don't understand.
Don't forget, our son was an official who was fawned over by everyone at that time. Many people tried to build connections with him, use the back door, and flatter him. He sent us truckloads of food and daily necessities.
This is nothing. By then, there will be boxes and boxes of real gold and silver, and countless antique calligraphy and paintings. The plates and chopsticks we use for eating must all be made of pure gold..."
Seeing that Old Lady Chen was completely immersed in her own imagination and the more she talked, the more she rambled, Old Man Chen hurriedly interrupted her, "Okay, old woman, stop talking. Let's talk about the future later!"
"Okay, I won't say anymore."
Old Mrs. Chen withdrew her thoughts, touched her pocket with her hand, and her face was full of pride.
"Old man, from now on, as long as you listen to me, I will make sure you can enjoy this precious osmanthus cake every now and then."
Old Man Chen was stunned. "What do you mean by that?"
"That heartless Chen Zhanshan won't give us money, right? Then we'll go to their house every day, don't cry, don't make a fuss, and when we see food, no matter what it is, we'll spit on it and stuff it into our mouths. When we're full, we'll put it in our pockets. I'll disgust them to death."
"Your idea is good, but what if that heartless person does something dirty and we both get beaten up?"
"He dares! Don't forget, we are the scholar's parents. If they dare to touch us, we will fall to the ground immediately. If he doesn't give us thirty or fifty taels of silver, we will refuse to leave."
"This, this is a bit too much. What's the difference between this and being a rogue? If they report it to the police or go to the head of the village, we will not be in the right." Old man Chen waved his hands quickly.
Old Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes in annoyance. "You don't know how to talk, what's a scoundrel? Didn't I just tell you that we won't cry, make a fuss, or hang ourselves? If they go to the head of the village, we can just say we're just visiting. It's not against the law. Can they eat us or chew us?"
"Yes, yes, you are right, old woman. I will listen to you."
"That's right, let's go home and have some snacks."
Watching the two of them leave the yard, Chen Zhanshan shook his head and sighed helplessly.
At such an old age, he has lived like this and he doesn't feel ashamed at all. It's true that it's difficult to change one's nature.
I hope Chen Zhancai can achieve something in the future so that he can support the old couple.
If they are really shit, they will suffer the consequences one day.
Just when he was in a daze, Lin came in from outside and asked,
"Boss, I just saw those old couple walking out of our house. What are they doing here?"
Chen Zhanshan withdrew his thoughts, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You should be able to guess it without me telling you."
