Chen Xianghong wanted to say something to her mother, but Old Lady Xia stood up, as if to say that as long as I didn't listen, she would pretend that nothing had happened.
Chen Xianghong had no choice but to shut up and wait for another opportunity to talk about it. Otherwise, if she pissed off her mother, who knew what she would do.
Old Lady Xia: "How's your work been lately? Have you been bullied?"
Chen Xianghong: "No, my sister Sun is very nice and none of the customers are unreasonable." All the unreasonable customers have been scolded by her and sister Sun, and she is very powerful now.
Old Lady Xia only thought she was someone who only reported good news and not bad news. Work was always annoying, and with her personality, even if she wasn't bullied by customers, she would be bullied by her colleagues. It was a pity she was busy lately, otherwise she would have to go see her anyway.
Old Mrs. Xia could never have imagined what her weak-willed daughter had experienced in just a few months.
Chen Xianghong has felt more comfortable in the past few months than she did in the past twenty years of her submissive life. She is now considered one of the most badass people in their supply and marketing cooperative, all thanks to Sister Sun's good teaching.
She picked up a few funny things to amuse Old Mrs. Xia, and she became happy again.
Ever since Chen Xiangbei was backstabbed by his good friends last time, he rarely went out, especially on rainy days when it was best to stay at home and take a nap.
He was awakened by the laughter in the living room. He felt annoyed and had a sullen look on his face when he opened the door.
"Mom, it's a rare day off, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Chen Xiangbei was full of resentment. He read comic books until midnight last night and couldn't get up today.
"Who's like you, sleeping until noon and not even noticing your sister coming?"
Chen Xiangbei opened his eyes suddenly, "My sister is here?"
He walked out quickly and stood in front of them, "Sister, what good things did you bring me?"
Old Lady Xia slapped him on the back of the head and said, "You only know how to ask for things, but you don't even feel sorry for your sister who had to endure the hardship of taking the train."
Chen Xianghong blushed again. She didn't come by train, so it wasn't very hard.
To avoid her mother noticing, she immediately started taking out the package. "Third child, I brought you some delicious food. Take a look and take whatever you want. But the milk candy is for Baoyuan and Lingling. Kids like them love it the most."
"Mom, I bought you a pair of really nice leather shoes. I bought them at a department store. We definitely don't have them here. When you wear them to the wedding, you'll definitely outshine everyone else."
"Also, this is what I brought for Dad, this is for my second brother, and this is what my eldest brother and his wife have. Where are they?"
Chen Xianghong was puzzled. Why were there only her mother and the third child at home?
Old Mrs. Xia touched her shoes, her face full of joy, but she still said stubbornly, "Why are you spending this money? If you can eat something good, wear something nice, and take good care of yourself, then Mom will be the happiest."
"These shoes must cost quite a bit of money. Can they be returned?" Old Mrs. Xia asked, reluctantly pushing the shoes to her daughter's hands.
Chen Xianghong pushed the shoes back and said, "Mom, I can't return them, so just wear them well. Besides, I make a lot of money now, so of course I have to buy you something good. The mothers in Hai City all buy this, so I thought my mom should have one too."
Old Mrs. Xia sniffed and felt a little sad. This child is honest, kind-hearted, and filial. There is no better child in the world than her.
Chen Xiangbei yelled, took his gift and ran back to his room. He couldn't bear to see his mother cry, that was scary.
"When will Dad and his brothers and sisters-in-law come back?"
"Your father was called away by your second uncle. I don't know if he was discussing the betrothal gift or something else. Your second brother is nowhere to be seen every day, and Lingling has gone out to play with her friends." Old Mrs. Xia said briefly. Anyway, none of them were at home.
"What about my eldest brother and his wife? Did he go back to his wife's family again?"
Old Mrs. Xia pursed her lips. She forgot to tell Xiang Hong that she had forced her eldest brother and his family to become son-in-laws of the Zhu family.
This matter is a long story, and Old Lady Xia didn't want to talk about it, so she said briefly: "Your eldest brother will belong to their side from now on, and he won't eat with us anymore."
Chen Xianghong was confused. "What do you mean?"
Chen Xiangbei ran out to get some water to drink. Hearing this, he became excited and said, "Sister, let me tell you something!"
He started talking about a bed sheet and went on to say that Zhu Wenying had a miscarriage and the family was divided. It was her Zhu family that was divided. Chen Xianghong was stunned when she heard it.
"Such a big thing, Mom, you didn't even tell me in your letter?"
Old Mrs. Xia smiled awkwardly, "Didn't you forget?"
After the eldest brother's family was no longer around her, she always forgot about them. The main reason was that there were too many things to do, one after another, leaving her no time to pay attention to them.
Moreover, ever since she helped them split up the family, the eldest brother's family has not come to their place and their presence is extremely low, so she can't be blamed alone.
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and before they knew it, it was noon.
"Xiang Hong, let me show you my cooking skills. I guarantee you'll have a comfortable lunch." Old Mrs. Xia rolled up her sleeves, put on an apron and was about to go into the kitchen when there was a knock on the door.
Old Lady Xia: "Who is it?"
No one answered the door, but Chen Xianghong felt a little nervous.
However, Old Mrs. Xia went to open the door and didn’t see it.
She opened the door and found that his second son and Yu Hongzhen, whom she had come to thank him last time, were standing outside.
"This...?" Old Mrs. Xia was puzzled as to how the two of them got together.
"Aunt, I'm sorry to bother you again." Yu Hongzhen handed over the gift politely, and his smile made Old Mrs. Xia feel something was wrong.
