Then her son was depressed for a long time; heartbreak is normal. Neither she nor Lao Lin took it seriously. Later, they asked someone to introduce Fang Yun to her son, and the two quickly hit it off. Afterward, she was able to hold her eldest grandson.
Unfortunately, their good days didn't last long. The young couple suddenly started arguing frequently, their son was always staying out all night, and eventually it all led to a divorce. Their daughter-in-law and grandson left, and their son became like a useless person...
Is it all because of that Xiaoxiao?
Lin's mother was filled with resentment!
But what could she do? Tang Xiaoxiao, Tang Xiaoxiao, who in Luoxia Town doesn't know this name now?
She's someone you can't afford to offend... She doesn't even have the courage to confront them...
On the other side, the Chen family.
Ever since Chen Lao Er's wife made a scene, Chen Le insisted on staying at his wife's house and refused to go back, forcing Chen's father to agree to separate the family.
The youngest son was staying at his father-in-law's house and wouldn't come back. The gossip from the neighbors made Mr. Chen ashamed to even go out. In the end, Mr. Chen compromised and divided the Chen family's small building in two. Originally, there were two main entrances, so there was no need to divide it. Half for each family was just right.
Chen's mother couldn't bear to part with her youngest grandson, so she chose to live with her eldest son Chen Yong's family.
Chen Le moved to the other half of the building with his wife Xu Fangfang. Later, he opened his own hair salon. Xu Fangfang worked as a helper, doing things like washing and blow-drying hair for customers. Chen Le cut and permed hair himself. There wasn't much business in town, and since his father's hair salon was right next door, the father and son competed with each other. Originally, the Chen family's customers were divided, but they were still able to keep up with the demand.
Chen Le was young and strong and could support the shop on his own. However, after his second son left, Chen's father felt powerless and had no choice but to ask Chen Yong to help him. But Chen Yong had been idle for so many years and his skills had become rusty. He would complain of sore arms after standing for a while, and the haircuts he made always dissatisfied customers. In order not to ruin the reputation, Chen's father had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it himself.
If the speed can't keep up, we lose a lot of customers every day, and over time, even fewer people will want to come.
Business was getting worse and worse, and income was decreasing, while Chen Yong's son's expenses were increasing. It was quite difficult for a small hair salon to support a family of five. Chen's parents were almost forced to use their savings for their funerals.
Faced with this situation, even the elderly couple from the Chen family, who had originally been wholeheartedly devoted to Chen Yong, couldn't help but start complaining.
They didn't blame their eldest son. Their youngest son was their own flesh and blood, and even though he upset them, they didn't say anything. Instead, they turned their anger towards Chen Yong's wife.
They were subtly implying that Chen Yong's wife should go out and find a job to earn some money. They said it was unacceptable for her to stay at home all day, being lazy and good-for-nothing. Their grandson was already in elementary school and didn't need her to take care of him all day. It was shameless for a grown woman to stay at home and eat for free.
Chen Yong's savings had long since dwindled after repeated investment losses.
The couple is truly living off their parents.
Chen Yong's wife grew impatient with his mother's words and, after a big argument, left home, saying she was going to work in the city.
Then there was no further news.
From this point on, the Chen family was plunged into a hopeless and hopeless predicament.
The child cried incessantly all day long, the shop's business was dismal and it was losing money. Chen's mother also fell and injured her leg while going out to buy groceries, and has been paralyzed in bed for more than two months and cannot get up.
In the end, it was Xu Fangfang next door who couldn't bear to see Old Mrs. Chen so hungry that she was skin and bones, so she cooked three meals a day and brought them over.
But she only did what she was supposed to do for the two elders of the Chen family; she didn't care about Chen Yong and his son at all.
