"What happened? Why are you back?"
Chen Xiangdong repeated everything Old Zhu had said word for word, and Zhu Wenying was so angry that she threw the cup to the ground, knocking off the paint.
"What my father said means that we have already broken up. With his personality, if he is forced into a desperate situation, he might really fight us to the death." Zhu Wenying told the man what she had just said to Jiang Fangru.
She didn't want to accept such an outrageous compensation, but she didn't dare to gamble that Zhu Wenfei would go to jail.
"Call your mother over." Zhu Wenying said.
Chen Xiangdong: "Ah?"
Zhu Wenying: "It's just the two of us. They've bullied us so badly. Even if we agree on compensation, we may not see the money right away. If they keep dragging it out, Zhu Wenfei will claim the money is all gone as soon as he gets married and won't give us anything. It's been dragging on for so long, we can't even call the police."
"But calling Mom here is hard to say. Have you forgotten that I slapped her earlier? Back then, we directly forced Zhu Wenfei's wedding to fall through. If there hadn't been that wedding, do you think my parents would have been so willing to give her the money? She would rather have her reputation plummeted than not have the money."
"And that job? Do you think the news about it is really that valuable? My mom is also trying to manipulate your mom. She only told her about it because she heard your mom wanted to bring Xiang Hong to the city. With these people, who can we beat?"
"We have the right idea now, but we don't know how to use it. We need your mother to come and help us with some advice, don't you think?"
Chen Xiangdong felt that his wife seemed different. How did she figure out all these things? Even if she said so, he still didn't understand why there were so many twists and turns in such a chaotic scene.
At that time, he was angry with his mother for a long time, thinking that she was unreasonable and wondering why he had such a mother. At that time, his mother-in-law was still a sensible elder, willing to make compensation for the sake of harmony in their small family, and he felt guilty for a long time.
But what his wife meant was that both parties were pinching each other's pain points?
He stopped thinking about it if he couldn't figure it out, but he still couldn't make up his mind to look for his biological mother. "Wenying, my mother... probably doesn't want to see me. She kicked us out, so how could she come to help us?"
Zhu Wenying rolled her eyes at him. "Mom kicked us out, but she didn't say she'd sever ties with us. Just ask her to come over as a member of her family and vent your anger. We won't be living back home, but we have to take advantage of the Zhu family!"
"Your son-in-law suffered a great loss. How could she not help you?"
After a night, it was already dawn. Chen Xiangdong pondered for a moment and decided to give it a try.
Although he is not good to his parents, he has one advantage: he listens to his wife and treats her well.
So, he bought some food for Zhu Wenying, and then had a quarrel with Jiang Fangru before leaving.
When he rushed to his home, Old Mrs. Xia had already gone to the factory. Only Chen Xiangbei was leisurely drying clothes. He was so diligent that his eldest brother almost didn't recognize him.
"Where are my parents?"
As soon as Chen Xiangbei opened the door, he saw his eldest brother. He was about to close it immediately because he had lowered his guard. His eldest brother had not come in the past few days and he thought he had accepted his fate. He did not expect that this man was so despicable and attacked them unexpectedly this morning.
"I'm telling you, I won't let you in. Hurry up and take your feet away! Don't try to hurt me!" Chen Xiangbei pushed against the door while kicking Chen Xiangdong's calf. "Get out now! If I let you in, Mom will tear me apart!"
Chen Xiangdong yelled, "I'm not here to beg for mercy, I'm here to find my mother!"
Chen Xiangbei: "Brother, don't you see what time it is now? Even if you don't go to work, your parents will have to go to work. By the way, why don't you go to work? Has your reputation of being unfilial spread to the factory? Did they fire you?"
Chen Xiangdong: "You can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth. I'm asking my mother for help! Damn it, I forgot to go back and ask for leave."
Chen Xiangdong suddenly realized that he still had to go to work today. He didn't know whether his colleagues who worked with him yesterday had asked for leave for him. Also, someone from Wenying had to ask for leave.
Since my parents are at the factory, I might as well take some time off and go visit them.
Chen Xiangdong asked someone to help pass on the message, but unfortunately, Old Lady Xia refused to see him. He knew his mother was still angry and still bothered by him, so he went to find his father again.
Old Chen did come out, but the first thing he said was, "I have no money!"
Chen Xiangdong: "Dad, I'm not here to ask you for money."
Old Chen: "Really? Every time you came to the factory to see me, it was because you were short of money. Sometimes it was because Baoyuan was feeling unwell, sometimes it was because your wife was sick. Anyway, you just love to cheat me out of my money."
"Let me tell you, I only have a few dollars of pocket money every month, and the rest goes to your mother. I have to save these few dollars to treat my servants to food and drinks, and sometimes I have to buy cigarettes. I can't leave a penny more."
Chen Xiangdong said with a bitter face, "Dad, I really am not here to ask you for money, I am here to ask you for help."
Although Old Chen hadn't heard what it was, his intuition told him that it was definitely not a good thing. "I can't help you."
Chen Xiangdong: "I don't want your money or your things. I'm in trouble and I need my mother to help me."
"Then why are you looking for your mother? Why are you looking for me?"
Chen Xiangdong: "My mother won't see me."
Old Chen immediately regretted it. If he had known this earlier, he would not have come out.
"You know your mother doesn't listen to me."
Chen Xiangdong said pitifully, "Dad, even if we split up, you are not my parents anymore? Wenying and I were bullied by the Zhu family. Wenying's child is gone and is still in the hospital."
Old Chen was getting anxious. He had watched his son grow up, get married, and have children, so naturally he still had some feelings for him. "How could the baby still be gone? It's been several months, the pregnancy should be stable, so why did it get miscarried?"
Chen Xiangdong: "The Zhu family is such a nobody..."
Old Chen's eyes widened as he listened. Could it be that their Zhu family was a den of dragons and tigers, even more terrifying than the old Ma family? That beast Zhu Wenfei actually caused his own sister to have a miscarriage. Is he still a human being?
"Let me talk to your mom for you. Wait for me while I ask for leave."
Old Chen came out again soon and took him to find his wife. His heart was also beating fast. If it were in the past, he would not have to worry at all, because his wife would have killed her long ago, but now it was hard to say.
What if she knew that I had wasted a day's salary by taking leave, I wonder if she would beat him too?
Walking on the way to the textile factory, Old Chen thought worriedly that he was still too careless.
He slowed down, feeling that he had not thought it through carefully enough.
But, I'm already here and have taken leave.
