Old Mrs. Xia sighed, saying that Hu Yingying had never disappeared in her previous life.
At that time, she gave the job to the second son and stayed at home every day. At the entrance of the whole compound, she could see the children playing nearby. If there were any strangers to talk to, Old Lady Xia could see them by just looking up.
So Hu Yingying grew up safely, and Hu Jie never remarried in his life. Hu's parents and their family occasionally came to the city to beg for money, and they lived a relatively comfortable life.
Later, when Hu Yingying grew up, her family came to her and wanted to marry her off to an old man in the village. But Hu Bin, the damn kid, fell in love with the old man's sister and came up with this vicious idea.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was driven out by Hu Jie, who took her second son with him to persuade the girl to marry another better man. In the end, he had a fight with Hu Bin and others before returning.
She remembered that Hu Bin finally married a widow and had a son, but she didn't hear what happened to him in the end.
Because people in the compound were allocated welfare housing built by the factory in the 1970s, a building jointly built by the meat processing plant and the machinery factory, she was assigned to one place with Old Lady Yin and Aunt Wang. Hu Jie's family lived a little further away, in another place.
Later, the welfare housing was demolished and they all moved into new houses. Old Mrs. Yin still lived with her, but as she got older, she was taken in by her son to live in his own home.
So, this time Hu Yingying was harmed by the Hu family to such an extent that she would be woken up in the middle of the night.
"Tell me, how could Xiao Hu's parents and eldest brother be so cruel?"
Old Chen looked at Old Lady Xia who was walking beside him, and wanted to say that Xiao Hu was so cruel that he sent his own parents to jail. He wanted to say that you, an old woman, were so cruel that you even drove out your own son. He wanted to say that the family of his second son’s wife was also so cruel that they would do anything for money, but he didn’t dare to say it.
"Haha, yes, how could there be such a person?" Old Chen continued, "People like that are not fit to be parents."
After noticing that Old Lady Xia's complexion had improved a little, he added, "At this time, I kind of miss our boss. How about stopping by to see him?"
"We haven't visited them since they split up?"
Old Lady Xia: "I've finally discovered that you're such a mean person to your son. I'm too lazy to hit you today. If you go, I'll deduct five dollars from your pocket money next month."
Old Chen was shocked: "Why? I just went to see my son, not to do anything wrong. Why are you deducting my money?"
"He's our biological child, too. How can you be so cruel like Xiao Hu's parents? Baoyuan is also my eldest grandson. I'm going to see what's wrong with him. You don't miss him, but I do!"
"You realize you're too authoritarian now, not democratic at all. You... you're Fax."
Old Lady Xia: "Are you done scolding me?"
Old Chen moved his mouth and actually wanted to curse, but he had just said some things he shouldn't have said. He didn't know how this damn old woman was going to deal with him next, so he really didn't have the courage to continue.
Mrs. Xia was furious when she saw him being so cowardly. "Since you miss him so much, why don't you just move out and live with them? Of course, I'm still supporting your other two sons, so all your salary belongs to me."
Old Chen was unconvinced: "You...you are about to separate from me, why should I give you money? Not only will I not give you money, I will also find another wife and let her serve me comfortably. You treat everyone like you, beating this one or scolding that one every day. I tell you, you should reflect on what big mistakes you have made to me and our family."
"It's all your fault that our family is in disarray. No wonder people used to say that one should marry a virtuous wife. I..." Old Chen was furious and said what was in his heart. He wanted to say that one should marry a virtuous wife, but I'm really unlucky to marry you. You are here to bring bad luck to me.
But Old Lady Xia's expression seemed to have changed, as if she was about to open her mouth and swallow him up and chew him into pieces.
Old Mrs. Xia's gaze shifted from Old Chen's face to the large rock on the side of the road. In her mind, she had already imagined Old Chen being smashed to pieces with blood and flesh splattered all over his body.
"Mom and Dad, are you back from the Public Security Bureau?" At this critical moment, the silly boy Chen Xiangbei appeared from nowhere and was very happy to see them.
"Mom, why do you look so pale? Were you scared by Hu Wei's corpse? What did he look like? Can I go check it out? Is Brother Hu Jie still there?"
Old Lady Xia: "Go home first."
When Chen Xiangbei saw that Old Chen didn't dare to say a word, he knew that his mother was about to show her power, so he immediately lowered his head and ran away.
Old Lady Xia turned around and asked, "Am I not virtuous? Do you regret marrying me? You want to marry someone else, who are you going to marry? Is it that Widow Huang from before?"
The third brother and Old Lady Xia were indeed mother and son, their continuous questions were exactly the same. Old Lady Xia could tell Chen Xiangbei to get out, but he couldn't tell Old Lady Xia to get out.
Old Chen: ...Good son, don’t run, save dad!
Old Chen swallowed hard, his voice suddenly changing, as if his mouth was stuck with glue, making it extremely difficult to speak, "Marry a virtuous wife. I have used up all my good luck to marry a wife as virtuous as you. I am so... lucky."
"What's the matter with the Huang Widow? I almost forgot about her. She's not any better than you. You can tell she's a good wife at first glance. She's just a widow without a job, how can she compare to you?"
Under the wrath of Old Lady Xia, Old Chen could say all kinds of disgusting things. "You are my good wife, the eldest daughter-in-law of our Old Chen family. If you are not good, others will be even worse. We don't compare ourselves with that kind of people. How can they compare with you?"
Old Lady Xia gave a forced smile, "Really?"
Old Chen glanced at the state-owned restaurant on the roadside and said, "Old lady, what do you want to eat? I'll go get it! Let's buy some braised pork with preserved vegetables for lunch today. We haven't had it in a long time. I remember you loved it the most, didn't you?"
He greased his feet and ran away.
At the same time, he regretted why he mentioned the boss in front of this dead old woman. If he didn't mention the boss, wouldn't there be no future events?
She has a deep resentment towards the boss, how could she easily ease it? Of course, unless there is money delivered to her door, who would resist money?
Old Chen took out his meat coupons and money pitifully and bought a plate of braised pork with preserved vegetables. Looking at the remaining twenty cents, tears welled up in his heart.
How is he going to get through this month?
