Old Lady Xia narrowed her eyes and asked, "You still want to take a quarter?"
Chen Xiangbei raised his head and said, "Yes, I want to take this much. You still have to give me a room. This is what you owe me."
"Do we still owe you?"
Chen Xiangbei: "You guys owe me. You gave so much money to Big Brother and Second Brother, but you only gave me so little. I'm at a loss."
Old Lady Xia: "Your father and I earned money, so why should you, who never brought a penny home, share it? Your father and I earn money, and we give it to whoever we want. Do you think it's your turn to tell us what to do?"
When Chen Xiangbei heard this, he actually found it very reasonable. However, in this case, he would not get anything. At his age, he would easily starve to death outside. Therefore, he had to fight for his future.
"Anyway, I don't care. If you want to separate me, you have to give me this much. Otherwise, I will stay at home. Even if you kick me out, I will still climb over the wall and through the window to get in."
Old Lady Xia: "You're so used to being a thief that you've mastered this skill?"
Chen Xiangbei shouted: "I am not a thief."
Old Lady Xia: "You are not a thief, why are you stealing things?"
Chen Xiangbei: "You have no right to control me."
Chen Xiangnan had just run outside and picked up a small stick that hurt a lot when hitting people, which he had told Old Lady Xia about before, and handed it to Old Lady Xia.
"I can't control you? You're the only one who can keep an eye on your father and me's money, but you can't let me control you, right? Fine, I won't control you, I'm going to beat you to death today."
Old Mrs. Xia was very good at using the stick. She loved it very much and wanted to keep it as a treasure. She would use it to beat anyone who made a mistake in the future.
Chen Xiangbei was beaten and ran around the room. Old Lady Xia felt a little tired of chasing him. "Second brother, catch him."
Chen Xiangnan hit wherever his mother pointed, and did whatever his mother said. He was also a little angry about what Chen Xiangbei had just said to blame him, so he immediately caught the man.
Old Lady Xia hit him several times, and Chen Xiangbei screamed in pain. It really hurt.
His second brother was indeed a wicked man, actually looking for such a torture device. He felt that his skin was already torn and he might need to stay in bed to recuperate.
He hated Chen Xiangnan even more, holding back his tears and cursing: "You are not a human being, none of you are human beings."
He was eventually beaten to tears, tears streaming down his cheeks, making him feel extremely ashamed.
How can a real man be beaten to the point of crying? Woohoo...it hurts so much.
"Will you steal again in the future?"
Chen Xiangbei's eyes were red and he shook his head.
Seeing that Old Lady Xia stopped beating him, Chen Xiangbei immediately broke free from his second brother's hand, glared at them, but didn't dare to curse anymore. He went back to the house cowardly and checked his injuries.
The bloody mess he'd imagined wasn't there, only streaks of red that hurt to the touch, and some were swollen. He inhaled and cursed secretly, not daring to speak aloud, just in his mind.
But he was a kind-hearted man. When he saw that he didn't bleed, he thought his mother had shown mercy.
After feeling sorry for myself for a while, I thought that it was actually not so bad. Anyway, the matter was over. I should eat two more bowls of rice tomorrow to make up for it. Thinking about this, I fell asleep.
Chen Xiangnan still seemed somewhat concerned about him: "I'll go apply some medicine to him, otherwise the wound will turn purple tomorrow."
Old Chen hid in the kitchen when Chen Xiangbei started cursing. He just listened to the noise outside and didn't come out at all.
He waited until the storm was over before he slowly walked out. His legs were a little numb from squatting for so long.
Hearing what the second brother said, he said, "He locked the door, and you couldn't get in. You should make him suffer for a few days to learn his lesson."
Chen Xiangnan secretly rolled his eyes, disdainful of his father's hindsight.
Old Mrs. Xia was too lazy to pay attention to him. After so many years, she already knew what kind of person he was. What else could she do? She had to make do with it and treat herself better in the future.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Old Chen felt bored and went into the house to sleep. There were still wounds on his face from being scratched by his nails, which were all caused by the evil Third Brother.
Chen Xianghong came back on a rainy day. Old Mrs. Xia had sent her a letter before, asking her to come to her sister's wedding if she had time, and not to come if she didn't have time, because she was not an important person anyway.
I originally thought that she wrote back to me to say that she would not come, but I didn't expect that she would come back early.
After living in Hai City for a few months, people have become different. Not to mention her clothes, her temperament alone is very different from before.
Old Mrs. Xia almost didn't recognize him.
"Mom!" Chen Xianghong came over with a smile, "I'm back."
Old Mrs. Xia was very surprised. "Xiang Hong, my Xiang Hong."
The two hugged each other.
"Let mom see, you really are different, you've become prettier and whiter."
Chen Xianghong turned around and asked, "Have you gained weight?"
Old Lady Xia nodded and said, "She looks better now. She was too thin before."
The mother and daughter returned to the house affectionately, and Old Mrs. Xia immediately heard a shocking piece of bad news.
"Mom, I'm dating."
Old Master Xia's grinning mouth suddenly closed. "What did you say?"
Chen Xianghong felt a little guilty and had to repeat, "I'm dating someone."
Old Lady Xia closed the door and pulled him into her bedroom. "Are you dating? Didn't Mom tell you not to? Why don't you listen to me?"
"You're the easiest kid to be deceived. Did the other party threaten you again?"
Chen Xianghong shook her head. "No, Mom, I volunteered."
Old Lady Xia slammed the table in anger. "That bastard must have coaxed you into submission with his sweet talk. Let me tell you, these guys from the big city are all sweet-talkers with ulterior motives. They might just be trying to trick you. What kind of person is he?"
Chen Xianghong lowered her head, a little shy. "Mom, he's tall and big, very honest, and he's very nice to me."
Old Lady Xia immediately retorted, "You can't judge people by appearances alone. Look at your second brother. He appears to be gentle and good-tempered on the outside, but he's actually quite evil inside. How can you tell if he's honest or not after a while? Maybe he's just pretending. If he wants to be nice to you, of course he has to be nice to you first. Otherwise, why would you be with him?"
"He may not be a good person."
Chen Xianghong: "His family conditions are pretty good."
Old Lady Xia: "Why would someone from a well-off family choose you? They must think you're easy to deceive."
Chen Xianghong: "But he is a very upright person and is always willing to help others."
Old Lady Xia: "Maybe he did it just to show you, otherwise why would you be so foolish as to believe him?"
Chen Xianghong: "Mom, you haven't even met him, how can you say bad things about him?"
Old Mrs. Xia was unconvinced: "You are still helping me now. I tell you, just break up with him honestly. I have found several young men for you here who I know well. When the time comes, you can get the marriage certificate with the one you like and you don't have to go to the countryside anymore."
"Several of my colleagues are leaving recently. I'm going to ask if they can arrange for internal retirement so that this opportunity can be saved for you."
