Chen Xiangnan shrank his head and said nothing, fearing that Old Lady Xia would remember him and ask him to pay.
But she didn't mention him until Mrs. Xia finished making the noodles. Chen Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to ask Mrs. Xia to bring him noodles, so he ran to the kitchen on his own initiative.
But when I entered the kitchen, I was dumbfounded. The pot was clean and there was not a single noodle.
"Mom, where's my meal?"
Old Mrs. Xia was eating noodles. She had put a lot of oil in them and added some meat. The noodles were fragrant and fresh.
"What kind of food do you have? Where do you have food?"
Chen Xiangnan: "No, I want to eat too."
Old Mrs. Xia: "Food costs money. How can I cook for you if you don't pay?"
Chen Xiangnan: "Mom, I'm your biological son."
Old Mrs. Xia: "You're married and have a family, but you still want your old parents to support you every day?"
Chen Xiangnan: "But, even if we get married, I'm still your son. Don't you love me anymore? You're my most beloved mother."
Old Mrs. Xia felt a little sick. She used to love listening to Chen Laoer's sweet words, but now she felt particularly uncomfortable listening to them.
Old Chen said: "We are all family, so let's not be so petty, okay? And my eldest grandson is still with Old Lady Wang. I'll go get him."
Chen Xiangnan: "Yes, Mom, we are a family."
Old Lady Xia became fierce again, "You're not allowed to go. That's the eldest child. If they want to hold the child, go hold it themselves. When you and I had the eldest child, we were still in confinement when your mother kicked us out. She didn't even give us an egg. The two of us can raise four children, but the eldest and his family can't even raise one?"
Old Chen didn't dare to act rashly again. He had a premonition that he would be beaten if he continued talking.
His face still hurts now.
As they were talking, the eldest brother and his wife came back. As soon as they entered the house, they looked unhappy.
Chen Xiangdong: "Mom, you are really my real mother."
Old Lady Xia: "What?"
Chen Xiangdong: "Look at what you've done. How am I going to go out and see people in the future?"
Old Lady Xia didn't indulge him. "How dare you do this? You know it's shameful. Why are you afraid of being criticized for doing this?"
Chen Xiangdong was exhausted. He had just come back from saying many nice things to his mother-in-law. He didn't want to argue anymore. "Mom, I don't want to talk anymore. Just give me some food. We're starving."
Zhu Wenying rolled her eyes and said, "It's already this late, and you still have the mind to eat."
She went into her room and slammed the door to express her anger.
Old Chen was winking at the side until he was almost twitching, but the idiot boss didn't notice at all.
"Mom, hurry up. Bring two bowls and I'll take them in for Wenying. She's still angry."
Old Lady Xia replied sternly, "There's no food for you. Eat it if you want."
At this time, Chen Xiangnan told his tactless brother what had just happened. Chen Xiangdong was furious, "Mom, are you trying to kick us all out?"
Old Lady Xia: "If you want to get out, then get out."
After Chen Xiangdong complained for a while, he found that his mother's ears seemed to be stuffed with chicken feathers, as if she didn't hear anything, and he immediately became deflated.
Zhu Wenying was extremely hungry in the house. She was cursing Chen Xiangdong for being useless and not caring at all when she suddenly realized that her eldest son Chen Baoyuan was not in the house, and it seemed... not in the living room either.
Damn old hag, she didn't even care about her grandson during a quarrel.
She came to the living room and didn't feel that the atmosphere in the living room was wrong. "Mom, where is Baoyuan?"
Old Lady Xia: "Your own son, how would I know?"
Zhu Wenying: "That's your Chen family's offspring, and you don't even care about your own grandson?"
Old Mrs. Xia: "I don't care anymore. I can't do anything about it anymore. If I continue to care, who knows if my grandson's mother will slap me again. Besides, he is the child of the Chen family, and my last name is not Chen."
Old Chen wanted to speak, but was silenced by Old Lady Xia's glare.
Zhu Wenying was so angry that she was shaking, and hurried out to bring her son back.
Chen Xiangnan: "Mom, tell me, how much do you want to give?"
Old Lady Xia: "Five dollars per person for household expenses, that's not a rip-off, right?"
Chen Xiangnan said with a bitter face: "Okay, Mom, I'll pay you after you give me the job. I don't have any money from my current job."
Chen Xiangdong: "Mom, why don't you go and grab it?"
Old Lady Xia: "I haven't even asked you about the rent yet. I've let you live in this house for free for so many years."
"Brothers have to settle accounts clearly, and we, mother and son, must also settle accounts clearly."
"Where can I find a mother like you?" Chen Xiangdong wanted to argue but was stopped by Chen Xiangnan. He was afraid that if his elder brother continued talking, their mother would really have to pay them rent and some miscellaneous money.
Fortunately, I will soon take over Old Lady Xia's job. When I have money, their family will only have a dozen or twenty yuan... which is really a lot.
Chen Xiangnan had a bitter face. He had just taken over the job and could only make twenty or thirty yuan a month at most. There were three people in his family, and they might have an illegitimate child in the future, so that would be twenty yuan.
He worked so hard, and in the future all the money was taken away by this old lady?
He is not happy.
"mom......"
Mrs. Xia finished her noodles amid her sons' complaints and said to the second son, "I won't give you my job. You have to figure it out yourself."
This really crossed Chen Xiangnan's red line. He didn't have much resentment towards Old Lady Xia. After all, today's dispute was between Old Lady Xia and the eldest brother's family, and he was the one who benefited.
However, this benefit was gone. He was still counting on the salary from his regular job to help the woman outside to carry out her pregnancy so that she could give birth to a big fat boy. Why did he stop giving it to her?
