Chen Mei was anxious. "Second brother, why didn't you tell me about this news that someone wanted a job? If your family's Li Gang feels tired, then give it to me. My family needs it."
"I thought you had no news, but you actually suppressed the news for nothing. So, if you don't want it, you won't give the opportunity to our relatives?"
Chen Weijun: "That kind of job is not good, and it requires connections, which is too troublesome. I'm too lazy to do it."
Chen Mei sneered, "If you're too lazy to do it, you can just leave your son's affairs to us and we won't bother you? He's your son, not your eldest brother's son, nor your third brother's son. Why wouldn't we bother to help you?"
"You're really interesting. You're afraid of connections, you're afraid of doing favors, you're afraid of spending money, and you're even afraid that your son won't be successful. Why don't you want to be emperor?"
Chen Weijun was a little angry and embarrassed. "Chen Mei, why are you talking so harshly? I'm just a grassroots worker. What kind of favors can I have? I'm just begging people for favors. But this kind of work can be done by just a word from the eldest brother or the third brother. Why do you have to let me step in?"
"Isn't my self-respect my own? If I give a gift and someone bullies me, a small worker, and refuses to do anything for me, wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage then?"
Chen Mei: "You've lost a lot. Do you still have any self-respect? Are you just expecting your eldest brother and third brother to help you find a job? If your Li Gang doesn't get the job, you'll expect them to pay you back like you did when you asked your eldest brother for money?"
Chen Weijun slammed his chopsticks down. "What do you mean? Big brother didn't help me with things back then, so of course I have to pay him back. My family is poor, and I can't just not get a job and lose the money too. I gave out several bills back then, and that was my family's food money for several months."
Chen Mei: "Big brother has paid a lot for your son. Why should Big brother bear this cost for your son? It's Li Gang himself who is useless and lost the opportunity. Why don't you think about this?"
Chen Weijun: "Chen Mei, don't think I don't know who you are and what you're thinking. You're hoping that Xiang Hong from Big Brother's family will find opportunities for your unemployed children to go to Hai City, so you're stepping on me to flatter Big Brother. How can you be so snobbish? You've been snobbish since you were a child. I won't give you face when others give it to me. You're nothing to me!"
Chen Mei was furious. Although she was speaking for the good-for-nothings in her family, her words were well-reasoned and not random. On the other hand, her second brother was willing to say anything shameless for money, and he felt so confident. I really didn't know where this confidence came from.
Old Chen thought about what happened back then. He was very angry at that time, but after a good night's sleep, he finally convinced himself and returned the money for the sake of family harmony. Now, Chen Weijun said such things again, and he was angry again.
Old Lady Xia pinched his thigh hard under the table. He grimaced in pain and couldn't help but stand up. "Second Brother, are you taking advantage of me?"
Chen Weijun didn't take it seriously and didn't even look at Old Chen's expression. "Brother, we are a family and we don't have to say two things. You are my eldest brother, how could I treat you as a fool?"
Old Chen said: "Okay, we are one family and we should keep our differences. Big brother needs money now, so you should give me the money I pushed away. Little sister is right, this is your son's business, you can't ask me to pay for it and do the work as well."
Chen Weijun: "Brother, why are you so fussy? This happened several years ago, and you're still asking me for money. Are you still my brother?"
Old Chen was furious: "No matter if I'm your big brother today or not, you have to pay me back. And I paid and worked hard to get you the job, you have to pay me back too!"
Chen Weijun: "Are you crazy? Do you think I'm a loser, just like my younger sister, and don't want to be my relative anymore? Why are you only asking me for money? You paid for my younger sister's dowry, and you also arranged for my third brother's job. Why are you asking me alone for money?"
Chen Weimin was also angry on behalf of his eldest brother at this time. "Second brother, it's true that my eldest brother helped me find a job back then, but after I married Meiyu, I paid him back along with the betrothal gift he paid for me. I'm different from you. I've always remembered my eldest brother's kindness."
Chen Weijun was already dizzy. Seeing that Chen Weimin had also stood with his eldest brother and turned around to accuse him, he immediately sarcastically said, "You still remember the kindness of eldest brother. If you really did remember, you wouldn't have been so disrespectful as to let your eldest sister-in-law serve as a maid to your wife during her confinement. You still remember the kindness. I think you are an ungrateful person. You just hide it a little deeper, so I appear to be worse than you."
"In fact, deep down, you and I are the same kind of people, both shameless beasts who suck the blood of Big Brother."
Chen Weimin didn't know what to say for a moment. Back then, his eldest brother had asked his eldest sister-in-law to come and look after Meiyu. He had wanted to pay her, but he refused, and his sister-in-law acted as if she was willing. Since his sister-in-law was so willing, they felt comfortable using her free labor.
After he said this, if his sister-in-law had not cared about it as before, he could refute it and say that his sister-in-law was willing to do it. But now his sister-in-law's face was so dark that he didn't dare to say anything.
Moreover, he felt that Lao Er was really crazy. Who would call himself a shameless beast?
While he was still in embarrassment, his eldest brother slapped him and saved him from crisis.
Fang Rong screamed, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"It seems that all the time I've helped you, I've ended up helping a bastard. You're right, you're a shameless bastard, your wife is a shameless bastard, and your two sons are shameless little bastards."
"This Xinhe wedding banquet will be the last time I will get together with your family."
"From now on, if someone calls you to do something, don't call me. It's either me or him."
After Old Chen said this, everyone at the table fell silent.
Chen Mei glanced back at her parents-in-law's room. Because there weren't enough seats at the table, they took their meal back to their own room to eat. Today, it was all her family, and Song Tiancheng's relatives all lived nearby. They only needed to have lunch tomorrow, so the old couple went inside, allowing Chen Mei to feel more at ease with her family.
"Brother, don't say such things. Even if my second brother is a jerk, we are still a family."
Old Chen said: "Fuck his family. I can even divide the family property among my own sons. What the hell is he?"
Chen Xiangdong, who was eating food at the table, was affected and raised his head like an idiot.
