"I'm not talking to you anymore, you hurry up and finish making the clothes, I'm going home..." Huang Yanfen stood up as if her pants were on fire, hurriedly said this and prepared to leave.
"Hey..." Seeing that Huang Yanfen was about to leave, she looked up at her and said, "Sit a little longer, chat with me, I'm bored at home all by myself."
Huang Yanfen could no longer sit still and keep Chen Qiuling company. She found everything about Chen Qiuling irritating. Now that she had heard some gossip, she couldn't wait to go home and tell her husband. She didn't want to stay here anymore.
"No, no..." Chen Qiuling waved her hand and refused. "I have to go home and work. It's getting late, and Dajiang must be looking for me everywhere."
After saying that, fearing that Chen Qiuling might say something else, he ran away in a flash.
Chen Zhi had actually been staying in the courtyard the whole time, but he didn't want to go into the main room because Huang Yanfen was there. Now that he saw Huang Yanfen had left, he stepped inside and asked while looking at the gate, "Why did she leave? Wasn't she going to stay a little longer?"
"I don't know, maybe he's busy?" Chen Qiuling said casually, putting down the clothes in her hand and saying seriously, "And you, get back to your studies! What's with wandering around all day?" When Chen Qiuling's ex-husband was still alive, Chen Zhi was literate and went to school. He didn't wander around all day like he does now, and he wasn't as fat and bloated as he is now. Chen Zhi turned out like this after her ex-husband passed away.
It's getting crooked the longer it grows.
"Mom!" Chen Zhi said impatiently, "How many years ago was I in school? I was only a few years old when I was in school, and I'm sixteen now. More than ten years have passed, and I don't remember at all. I don't want to go to school anymore." Chen Zhi waved his hand, extremely annoyed. Going to school was nothing compared to going out and having fun. "Just give me some money, I need it."
"You want money again?" Chen Qiuling looked up at Chen Zhi, her eyes full of disapproval. "No, Chen Zhi, what are you planning to do?" Although Chen Qiuling hadn't done much work or received much education, she was still Chen Zhi's mother and hoped that he could study hard and become a useful person.
"You do nothing all day, yet you keep asking for money. Do you think your dad earns that little bit of money easily?" Chen Qiuling stood up and walked into the room, saying as she went, "If you don't have money, go earn it yourself. Can't you learn from Bai Nuo next to you? She's three years younger than you, and she earns her own money."
Chen Zhi thought to himself, "That's because Bai Nuo doesn't have a mother, so he has to go out and earn money on his own. He has a mother, and now he has a father, so why would he have to earn money on his own? Earning money is so hard, isn't he just making things difficult for himself?"
Seeing that Chen Qiuling was about to go inside, Chen Zhi quickly followed her, "Mom, I really need the money."
"Where do you need it?" Chen Qiuling asked. "Give your mother a reason, and she'll give you the money."
Seeing Chen Zhi pause for a moment, Chen Qiuling sneered, "Can't answer, huh? If you can't answer, then don't ask me for it. Also, it's fine if you don't want to study. I'll have your dad find you some work tomorrow. You can follow him and spend as much money as you want. I won't stop you."
After saying that, Chen Qiuling was about to close the door when Chen Zhi stopped her. "Mother... I've taken a liking to a girl. I want to spend some money to win her favor and give her some gifts or something."
Surely Mother is happy about this matter concerning her daughter-in-law?
Unexpectedly, Chen Qiuling said, "You can send gifts, but tell your mother which family's daughter she is. I'll arrange a marriage for you. Although our family isn't very rich, we're one of the most influential in this village. We have everything: houses, land, and everything else. We're not afraid of the girl suffering, and we're not afraid she won't agree. If you like her, I'll marry her for you." Then she closed the door.
Chen Zhi was thoroughly humiliated. Looking at the closed door, he sat down sullenly in the main room, crossed his legs, and wondered if his mother no longer loved him. After his mother had a child with Bai Dalin, would he follow in Bai Nuo's footsteps? As the saying goes, with a stepmother comes a stepfather. Bai Nuo had experienced this firsthand, but it wouldn't be long before he had a stepmother. Just look at him.
Why!
As Chen Zhi sat there, he became increasingly agitated and couldn't sit still any longer. He kept sighing and complaining. After a while, Chen Qiuling came out from inside and said, "Alright, stop sighing and complaining and go cook for me!"
"Mom, it's so early, what are you making? Who's going to eat this? Besides, you know I can't cook. Are you trying to make me cook so we can both die from diarrhea?" Have you forgotten about the diarrhea incident? It's only been a few days! And you're already making me cook? Thinking back to how I felt that day, Chen Zhi felt like he never wanted to eat again.
"If I eat it, who will?" Chen Qiuling said irritably. "We've already replaced all the rice and flour in our house, so there's no way we'll get diarrhea anymore. Hurry up and cook some food!" Neither Chen Qiuling, Bai Dalin, nor Chen Zhi suspected that Bai Nuo had replaced the Bai family's grain. The three of them had always thought it was a problem with the rice and flour. They had diarrhea once the night before last and once the next day, but after the food was replaced, they hadn't had diarrhea again, so they didn't know that Bai Nuo was responsible.
"No way!" Chen Zhi refused resolutely. "Mother, it's not right for a man like me to cook. I'm meant for great things, not for cooking."
Bai Dalin always cooked, although it was to be considerate of his mother's hard work during her pregnancy. However, Chen Zhi still thought Bai Dalin was useless. How could a grown man cook? Didn't he know that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen? Aren't washing clothes, cooking, and giving birth women's jobs?
After all, he was her son. Chen Qiuling didn't interfere with his reluctance to do this or that, and simply shook her head and left. After Chen Qiuling left, Chen Zhi sat down again, poured himself a glass of water, and shook his head. "Sigh, I have no money. What am I going to do if Xiao Hong misses me?"
He asked Chen Qiuling for money because he wanted to see Xiao Hong from the brothel, the girl he told Chen Qiuling he liked.
But how could Chen Qiuling know about a girl like that?
Suddenly, Chen Zhi had a flash of inspiration and quickly went to the door to check. Chen Qiuling was not in the yard, and there were clanging and banging sounds coming from the kitchen. Chen Zhi quickly ran into Chen Qiuling's room.
"Hehe, Mom, it's not that your son wants your money, it's that your son asked you for it but you wouldn't give it to him. Besides, all your money is mine, so it's not unreasonable for me to use my own money!"
After searching Chen Qiuling's room for a while, Chen Zhi found the box where Chen Qiuling made her money. He opened it and found several silver notes and some loose silver inside. Chen Zhi didn't take it all; he took the larger sum, put the box back in its place, and left in a flash.
