Hands-on
Xu Zhen had been drinking. He didn't participate in the previous moment, but he had been trying to sober up and was relatively sober at this time.
Xu Zhen said: "We didn't intend to do anything, and we don't want to hurt the harmony of the family. We just want you to pay us back."
"My family isn't a generous bunch, nor do we have a heart of a bodhisattva. We've given everything we should, but can't you just take it for free?"
What Xu Zhen said was very clear. He and Chen Rong's goal from the beginning was to get money.
Chen De spoke to Xu Zhen politely, "Brother-in-law, when we borrowed money from your family, you said you weren't in a hurry to pay it back. We haven't saved much money in the past few years. Can you be more tolerant?"
Xu Zhen glanced at Chen Rong and said that Chen Rong had to talk about this matter.
Chen Rong said, "Brother, I know your family is in trouble, but if you're in trouble your whole life, then I won't be able to get my money back until I die."
Liu Fang heard Chen Rong's tone and thought, isn't she saying that their family is poor?
Liu Fang said, "Chen Rong, please be careful with your words. Our family may not be as powerful as yours or Chen Hai's, but we can't insult them casually."
Chen Rong said, "Sister-in-law, what did I say? You're the one who thinks that. Anyway, I want to see the money today."
Chen Rong has lost all her patience. She came here today to collect the debt, but Liu Fang has been harassing her until now.
The cell phone in Chen Rong's pocket has rang several times. Not only her, but also Xu Zhen's. They both came with something to do.
When Liu Fang saw Chen Rong reaching out to her for money, Chen Rong slapped her in a hurry.
This directly triggered a war.
Chen Rong was spoiled by the old lady since she was a child and can't stand the slightest bit of anger.
How could she give up after being suddenly hit by Liu Fang? She became even more angry and her face became even uglier.
Chen Rong opened her arms and started fighting with Liu Fang, but Liu Fang was not a pushover either.
The two of them were entangled with each other, one pulling the other's hair and the other pulling the other's arm. The scene was really ironic.
Chen De and Xu Zhen watched their wives fighting, and neither of them gave in. They couldn't intervene, so they just quarreled on the side and started fighting.
Gao Yamei and Chen Hai watched the two families fighting. How could they just stand by and watch? They both went up to try to stop the fight.
Gao Yamei went to stop Liu Fang and Chen Rong, both of whom were tough guys and very strong.
Gao Yamei was unable to stop him and shouted, "Stop it now! If people outside hear this, they will laugh at you."
"It's New Year's Day, it's not good to take action."
Liu Fang bared her teeth and said, "Don't worry about it. I've disliked Chen Rong for a long time. You're just looking down on people. Isn't it just that her in-laws have some money? That's not her surname Chen's money..."
Chen Rong's words were full of sarcasm, and she had completely torn her relationship with him, not caring about their closeness at all.
Chen Rong cursed, "...You're a dog! Your whole family is destined to be poor. You've been forced to bow your head and accept your fate for the rest of your life. I was so blinded by my greed that I lent you money just because you said a few nice words. Who would have thought that you'd never be able to pay it back in your lifetime..."
Liu Fang tried to kick Chen Rong, but Chen Rong grabbed her leg instead, and they both rolled to the ground. Gao Yamei heard the noise, but she didn't know who had broken a bone, so she didn't dare to touch them.
Liu Fang said, "Chen Rong, you're such an ungrateful person. Think about how much I helped you back then. How many times did I speak up for you when you and Gao Yamei were at odds? I really shouldn't have done that..."
Chen Rong said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I never asked you to say anything for me. You're the one who's always on the fence, fawning over whoever's better off. You're such a wimp."
Liu Fang suddenly became angry and wanted to tell all the bad things Chen Rong had done in one breath.
Liu Fang pinched Chen Rong and turned to Gao Yamei, saying, "Xiaomei, listen carefully. Chen Rong is not a good person. She has been saying bad things about you in front of me behind your back."
Gao Yamei was still thinking about how to stop the fight, but now it was good enough that she didn't join in.
Gao Yamei put her hands on her hips and looked down at the two people on the ground.
Gao Yamei raised her eyebrows and asked, "Hmm? Tell me, what did she say about me?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Rong let go and was about to move his hand to Chen Rong's mouth, but he still missed it halfway.
Liu Fang said, "Humph! She said you were a vixen who had seduced Chen Hai away and instigated a falling out between Chen Hai and his family. She also said that when you were young, you used your looks to seduce men. If it weren't for Chen Hai, you wouldn't have been able to get married long ago..."
When Liu Fang said this, Gao Yamei was already very angry.
Liu Fang glanced at Chen Rong's exasperated expression and continued, "That's not all. While you were in the hospital giving birth, she was the one who prevented us relatives from visiting you. She even deliberately treated us to a meal on the day of your birth and constantly spoke ill of you in front of our relatives."
"I offered to take care of you after your confinement because I was worried about my conscience. At least I treated you well, but she did you a lot."
"They even say that Chen Xing is your retribution, and you will never be able to turn things around in your lifetime."
Liu Fang was good friends with Gao Yamei at first. After all, they were both daughters-in-law of the Chen family and were considered outsiders. The old lady favored her own daughters, so she kept some things secret from the two daughters-in-law.
At that time, Chen Rong had not yet married, and she often provoked the old lady. She was even jealous of Gao Yamei's good looks and asked her to do this and that. Gao Yamei didn't care much because she was Chen Hai's biological sister.
But later Gao Yamei and Chen Hai moved to the city, and Chen Rong got married. Liu Fang had no companions in the countryside, and every time Liu Fang returned home, she was there to show off.
Over time, Liu Fang sided with Chen Rong and became a two-faced person.
Gao Yamei could tell that the voice was filled with anger. She clenched her fists and thought about how hard life she had lived when she first married into the Chen family. She felt really sorry for herself and why she didn't vent her anger.
Chen Rong was so frightened that she tried to save the situation, "Second sister-in-law, don't listen to her. She just can't stand seeing our two families getting along. She's not striving for herself, but is trying to curry favor with others to make a living. Sooner or later, she'll be killed by her mouth."
Liu Fang said, "Chen Rong, shut up! How dare you say everything I said is a lie?"
Liu Fang turned around and added fuel to the fire at Gao Yamei, "Xiaomei, there's something I've been hiding from you. I have to tell you today, otherwise I'll be the villain. Who knows how she'll slander me in the future."
Gao Yamei endured it and said, "Tell me, is there anything more despicable than this?"
Chen Rong probably guessed what Liu Fang was going to say, and suddenly shouted threateningly, "Liu Fang, no matter how much you say, it's useless. No one will believe you. You'd better shut up."
Liu Fang was not afraid of her. After all, it was her who did it, and she didn't want to suffer the consequences.
Liu Fang glanced at Gao Yamei and went to find Chen Xing. Chen Xing and Chen Tian were standing in the corner. They just needed to not make trouble for the quarrel between adults. Chen Tian would not let Chen Xing do anything. He would definitely protect Chen Xing.
Then Liu Fang said, "Xiaomei, do you remember that year when you had no choice but to send Chen Xing to the countryside to recuperate? Not long after, Chen Rong also sent Xu Wei here. She just couldn't stand your good fortune. She knew Xu Wei often bullied Chen Xing, and the old lady was on Xu Wei's side. Chen Xing was sensible and didn't complain, so she deliberately indulged Xu Wei."
"And that time when Chen Xing was abandoned in the field, that was also Xu Wei's doing. Xu Wei tricked Chen Xing into walking a long way, then he left her aside and ran back home. Chen Xing couldn't remember the way home, and after being caught in the rain all night, she not only had a fever but also suffered a relapse of her heart disease. She almost died. It was all their fault."
It would have been fine if Liu Fang hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as she did, all the anger in Gao Yamei's heart burst out.
The incident with Chen Xing was a hurdle that Gao Yamei could not get over, and she had regretted it countless times.
If she hadn't been undergoing a promotion assessment at that time, in order to get a promotion and a raise so that she could provide her two children with a better life, and Chen Xing's illness required her to take medicine all year round.
Gao Yamei had no time to take care of Chen Xing, and her mother was hospitalized, so she couldn't stay by her bedside many times. It was her brother and Chen Hai who took care of her.
Gao Yamei had no choice but to send Chen Xing to the countryside to recuperate. It was also Doctor Zhang who suggested that the countryside was quieter and more suitable for Chen Xing's body.
Gao Yamei thought that with Liu Fang around, the old lady wouldn't do anything to Chen Xing, so she gave them more money. Who would have thought that Chen Xing had a very hard time in those two years.
He was originally a lively and cheerful child, at an age when he should be carefree. However, after listening to too many words from the old lady and Chen Rong in the countryside, he gradually became introverted and felt that he was a burden to his parents.
If Chen Xing hadn't been seriously ill that time, Gao Yamei wouldn't have known how much bullying Chen Xing had suffered if she hadn't interrogated him.
Gao Yamei watched Chen Xing lying in the intensive care unit again with tubes inserted all over his body. She hugged Chen Hai and cried all night. Chen Hai even slapped himself but didn't feel that it could make up for it.
After she took Chen Xing home, Chen Xing had changed a lot. She was no longer the little girl who always smiled and told her everything was okay.
Instead, he is always silent and often sits by the window in a daze. He always asks this question every time he goes to the hospital for a physical examination.
"Does medical treatment cost a lot of money? Am I a burden to my family?"
Gao Yamei didn't know the reason at the time and just thought that Chen Xing was throwing a tantrum, and she blamed her for being ignorant and disobedient.
Now I think that Chen Xing became sensible too early, which is so heartbreaking.
Her words are still tear-jerking now.
Gao Yamei just thought that the old lady was not nice to Chen Xing, but now she knows that it’s not just the old lady, no one in this family treats Chen Xing well.
The daughter she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy has been suffering since birth. Not only has she been tortured by illness physically, but she has also been traumatized psychologically.
Gao Yamei's eyes turned red from the pain. She couldn't bear it any longer and slapped Chen Rong twice without saying a word.
Liu Fang took this opportunity to break free, quickly got up and ran to the side to watch the show.
Gao Yamei grabbed Chen Rong's collar and looked at her miserable appearance. She was not satisfied at all and wanted to slap her a few more times.
Gao Yamei slapped Chen Rong four times in a row, and only after watching both sides of Chen Rong's face become red and swollen did she calm down a little.
Gao Yamei said, "Chen Rong, what is your heart made of? How can you be so cruel? Aren't you afraid of going to hell after you do this? Even your children will suffer with you. You are simply a beast! A heartless person..."
