"Xiangdong, you're still young and don't know that being separated from the family will bring you a bad reputation."
Chen Xiangdong curled his lips. If his reputation was going to be ruined, it would have been ruined a long time ago. Why did he have to say it? "Second Uncle, you may not know that missing teeth is not good for your reputation either."
Chen Weijun was furious and said, "You really don't know how to appreciate kindness. Okay, okay, I don't care about you anymore. You are just a son-in-law of the Zhu family. Don't even think about asking me to help you if something goes wrong in the future."
Chen Xiangdong: "Okay, Second Uncle, as long as you don't stand up for me casually, I will generally be fine."
Old Chen saw their conversation and had a different opinion of his eldest son, Chen Xiangdong. He used to be a bully at home, only mean to his mother, but now he had finally improved and started being mean to others.
Good, that’s great. After leaving him alone, he finally stood up like a man. Old Chen praised him in his heart, but didn’t show it on his face.
His son was so supportive, so he couldn't be too bad as a father. He cursed with a fierce face, "Second brother, why can't you expect anything good from me? I've lived with your eldest sister-in-law for decades and have so many children, and you actually have such a vicious heart and want to ask me for a divorce?"
"Why, you think splitting up the family is bad, but my divorce is good? If I get divorced, there will be a divorced person in our family, and you'll have a divorced big brother, so you'll be so proud. What kind of person are you? Why do you wish me bad things? I've helped you for so many years, am I just letting you hurt me?"
Chen Weijun's butt, which had just been sitting down, jumped up immediately after being criticized by Old Chen. "Brother, that's not what I meant. I was just too angry just now..."
Old Chen interrupted him, "Why are you so angry about my family's affairs? Xiangdong is right. If you have this much time to think about, you might as well think about how to fix your tooth and teach your son a lesson."
"No matter how outrageous my family is, Yue'e and I are workers, my eldest son is also a worker, my second son is eloquent, my Xianghong is a salesperson in Hai City Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and my third son..." Forget it, the third son didn't know what to praise. You can't praise him for being good at stealing things.
He changed the subject, "You should think about the future of your two sons. Don't let them go to the countryside!"
Chen Weijun was so angry that he wanted to quarrel with his elder brother. Why did everyone look down on his son? That was his son, still young, but they talked about him as if he had no future.
Chen Mei had just gone through a chaotic fight. Although she wanted to say a few words about the division of the family, she thought about it and shut her mouth when she saw her second brother being treated like a grandson. How could she dare to interfere in the affairs of her eldest brother's family now? She might get slapped by her good sister-in-law again.
It was so hard to calm down, and a harmonious family is the key to success. Don't let her fail to persuade them and waste all the delicious food on the table, she will feel bad.
But when she heard about Haishi, Chen Mei couldn't sit still. She thought about what her elder brother had just said. Xiang Hong came back from the countryside and became a salesperson in Haishi. How come so many things happened in his family, but their relatives didn't know anything about it?
Could it be that Big Brother has become estranged from them?
"Brother, has Xiang Hong returned from the countryside?" she asked anxiously.
Old Chen: "That's not possible... I can't stay there forever."
Chen Mei: "You went to Hai City? And you're still a salesperson?"
Old Chen said, "Yes, I've said it before. My Xiang Hong is a good student with good character. It's just a job in Hai City, so what's so surprising about that?"
Chen Mei's eyes changed when she looked at Chen Xianghong. That was Hai City. How could this girl be so lucky? Not only did she come from that countryside, but she also had such a good job.
Her daughter Xinhe is such a good child, but she couldn't even get into the supply and marketing cooperative in this city. How could Chen Xianghong get into Hai City?
Chen Mei was jealous and wanted to trick her. "No wonder I felt that Xiang Hong seemed different. She used to be gentle, but now she's a bit more assertive over there. But this is for the best. It would be hard to stand up on your own if you're out there alone."
"Xianghong, tell me, how did you find a job in Hai City?" She held Chen Xianghong's hand, as affectionate as mother and daughter.
Chen Xianghong pulled her hand away and said, "The Youth Institute heard about this opportunity, so I tried it, and then I got in."
Chen Mei didn't care. In her mind, Chen Xianghong was only slightly inferior to Xu Meiyu. "If your supply and marketing cooperative has a chance, please tell me that your brothers are still unemployed. We are a family, so we should visit each other more often. You should write to me more often in the future."
Old Mrs. Xia frowned and said that Chen Mei was a snob. Look at her attitude before and compare it with her current attitude. There is a world of difference.
Xiang Hong herself was still receiving favors from others, so how could she have the time to care about her family? Besides, helping such an ungrateful person would not lead to any good outcome.
She said with a forced smile, "Chen Mei, the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't hire men as sales clerks. As for other positions, my Xiang Hong doesn't have the ability to find out, so don't even think about hitting on her."
Chen Mei cursed the old witch in her heart, but she still smiled. "Look at what sister-in-law said. After all, Hai City is bigger than ours, and there are more opportunities. Even if it's not the supply and marketing cooperative, other places are also fine. If Xiang Hong gets any news, just give me a copy. Sister-in-law, you know me well. I will definitely not let Xiang Hong suffer any loss."
Old Mrs. Xia: ...If there is a chance, this snob will definitely not let Xiang Hong suffer any loss. This is much better than the second brother's family. The second brother's family eats with the bowl in hand and curses their mothers when they put the bowl down, but she just doesn't like her like this.
"Okay, what kind of news can she get from someone who just went there? Even if she does, she will give it to her older brother first."
Chen Mei: "Sister-in-law, then it's OK for my two useless sons to be ranked at the back."
Chen Xianghong pursed her lips and smiled. "Aunt, I think my brothers are promising. They might find jobs soon. You don't have to worry. The work over there is tight right now. It's just some manual labor. Not only is it tiring and busy, but it's also temporary. Even this kind of work costs a lot of money, and it's far away from home. It's not cost-effective. But if there is a good one, I will write to my mother and ask her to tell you."
Chen Xianghong: ...Anyway, there is nothing. Just paint a rosy picture for her to keep her hanging so that she won’t be bothered anymore.
Chen Mei immediately praised: "It has to be our little girl Xiang Hong, she is so open and honest. Come, this chicken was specially raised by Auntie from the countryside. Have a chicken leg!"
Chen Xianghong thanked her and casually put the chicken leg into Old Lady Xia's bowl, which caused Chen Mei to praise her again.
Chen Weimin and Xu Meiyu finally came back when Chen Mei had prepared another soup and brought it out.
