While Mrs. Wang's family was celebrating the news that her eldest son had a girlfriend, Mrs. Xia came home to hear some news that made her unhappy.
"Are you saying that your eldest sister's eldest daughter is getting married and you want us to go there early?" Old Mrs. Xia put down her chopsticks and felt a little unable to eat.
Old Chen's eyes revealed joy. He was a man who cared a lot about his younger siblings. His parents died early and asked him to take good care of his younger siblings before they died. He had helped them get married and have children over the years, and now their children were going to get married too. This was a great joy.
He was very happy. He had saved money for several months and had received an extra bonus from his company last month, so he finally bought a second-hand ladies' watch from a family. He would give it to his wife later, and she would definitely be in a good mood towards him.
Old Mrs. Xia still had a gloomy face at this moment, but the carefree old Chen didn't notice it and was completely immersed in his own fantasy.
In her previous life, this sister-in-law lived a good life. Her daughters married into wealthy families, and her sons also had a good career and family.
Because she and Old Chen had no promising children, they gradually cut off contact with each other unilaterally. She used to be indignant, thinking that these people were too snobbish. Old Chen had helped them so much when they were young, but they had no gratitude at all.
However, she now understood that because their family was already ruined in their previous life, there was no need to treat them well. They would not be of any use in the future anyway, so this relationship was dispensable.
Most people are like this: when their family is thriving, relatives often come to curry favor, offering compliments without asking for money, and even the grass growing by the roadside can be praised. But when their family is in decline and their descendants have no future, even if you bring gold to them, they may not pay attention.
Sometimes, such relatives are not as kind to them as their unrelated friends and neighbors.
"I'm not going. I can go on my wedding day. Why go so early?" Old Lady Xia turned aside. "Are you asking me to go to work again?"
Old Chen stared, "How could that be? My eldest sister is not my second brother's wife. She is not that kind of person."
"Since you don't want to work, then go on the wedding day."
Old Chen said: "That girl is getting married early in the morning. We can't make it in time. It will be embarrassing if we are late."
Old Mrs. Xia thought about it and agreed. However, she really didn't want to see Old Chen's relatives, especially his second brother's wife. She felt disgusted when she thought about how she had been so servile as to take care of her during her confinement period when she was young.
The days after her rebirth were already very comfortable for her, but when she thought of her second brother's family, she still felt very uncomfortable and wanted to escape.
Chen Xiangnan saw through it and said in a flattering tone, "Mom, when you go over there, if anyone makes you uncomfortable, just slap them in the face. What are you afraid of? You have three sons. Who would dare to touch a hair on your head under our noses?"
Old Lady Xia turned to look at him. Damn it, she had forgotten about the eldest son's family again. Even if the eldest son was going to be a live-in son-in-law, it was still reasonable for their family to attend such a big wedding for relatives. And what the second son said was right. She could avoid it for a while, but could she avoid it forever?
You have to beat them all up one day before the wedding. It doesn't matter whether you go early or late. It's best to beat them all up the day before the wedding to vent your anger. Then you can attend the wedding happily the next day.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Xia felt much more comfortable. "Second brother, please notify the eldest brother's family."
After Chen Xiangnan agreed, he turned around and shouted to Chen Xiangbei who had just come back from his fooling around, "Third brother, go call big brother. We are going to attend my aunt's daughter's wedding on the fifth of next month."
Chen Xiangbei ran out again unwillingly. He was called every day and asked to do all kinds of trivial things. It was really annoying. He was exhausted at such a young age.
"What's the third brother doing out there every day? Didn't they say their school is closed?"
Old Chen: "He has nothing to do at home. It's good for boys to go out and run around. What's the point of staying at home every day? Does he want to be a girl?"
Old Lady Xia: "I'm afraid he'll do something illegal and get into trouble."
She remembered that her third child had fought with others in his previous life, smashed doors and windows, and stole things. In the end, he was arrested. It was only after she begged people everywhere and used her savings as compensation that the other party was willing to reconcile. Otherwise, this child would have been a labor camp prisoner.
He is not smart, but very brave. He even dares to do such a criminal thing. After he was redeemed, he still didn't care. He thought he had done nothing wrong and that those people were too stingy.
Old Chen said, "That's impossible. Although the third brother is a bit of a jerk, he wouldn't commit a crime. He's so scared of you right now. I don't believe he's breaking the law when he goes out."
The two argued for a while, and Chen Xiangnan tried to persuade them for a long time, but he was only on his mother's side, which made Old Chen angry.
Old Lady Xia: "Anyway, if he breaks the law outside, I will separate him. If he refuses to give up, I will send him to a farm for forced labor. Anyway, I won't care about him."
Chen Xiangbei stopped and his face turned pale.
His mother really wanted to separate him from him.
This sentence shocked him.
A few days later, Chen Xiangbei went out to play with his friends. They often wandered around the streets. When they were hungry, they would pool their money to eat, and when they had no money, they would find ways to make money.
On this day, they happened to be out of money. One of them thought about the conflict between his family and his neighbor and immediately came up with the idea of stealing from their house.
