Chen Xiangdong: "Dad, even though I've separated from the family, aren't you still my dad?"
Old Chen said unhappily, "Eat yours, it has nothing to do with you."
Chen Xiangdong: "Oh."
Chen Weijun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his elder brother looked so angry that he didn't dare to say anything.
Chen Weimin was also frightened. "Brother, this... is just some verbal dispute. There's no need to be like this."
What his eldest brother said sounded like he wanted to sever ties with the second brother. Although the second brother was very annoying, there was no need to make such a fuss.
Big brother has given so much for them before, how could he suddenly not bear it anymore? This is too weird.
"Sister-in-law, please persuade my brother."
Old Mrs. Xia is selectively deaf.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Chen Weimin pulled Chen Weijun again, "Second brother, quickly apologize to big brother. Look at what you said, you made big brother so angry that he was fuming."
Chen Weijun immediately lowered his head: "Brother, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. I didn't mean it that way. I'm really grateful to you in my heart. You know, your two nephews are the closest to you. Fang Rong and I always think of you so well at home. Please don't be angry with me. I... I hit myself."
Chen Weijun immediately slapped himself, "What a dirty talker! I'm not a good person."
Fang Rong also stood up, "Brother, Wei Jun is already like this, don't be angry."
Old Chen's attitude softened a bit. He was a man who valued his brothers and was a soft-hearted person. But he wanted to give up, but he felt embarrassed to do so.
He glanced at Old Lady Xia out of habit, wanting her to act as a middleman, but the half-smile on Old Lady Xia's face suddenly sobered him up.
So, he stretched out his hand with a dark face and said, "Pay back the money."
Chen Weijun is a money-obsessed person. You can ask him to kneel down and beg for mercy, but you can't talk about money with him. Isn't that like stabbing him in the heart?
He had a sad face and said, "Brother, why are you still holding this in your mind? It's been so long, can't you just let it go?"
Old Chen: "Even if you die, your two sons have to pay me back, otherwise I will still say what I said just now, either I or you!"
Chen Weijun's expression changed very quickly. He felt that it would be better to break off the relationship than to ask him to pay back the money. Anyway, they had already torn their relations apart, and his elder brother would definitely not give their family any benefits in the future. Breaking off the relationship would be a clean deal, but some things still needed to be settled.
"Brother, since you're like this, I have to tell you something. We gave gifts to Xiangdong and Xiangnan when they got married. We also gave red eggs when Baoyuan and Linglong were born. You asked me for money, and I want to ask you for money too."
Now it was Old Chen's turn to be confused. At that time, the gifts and money were all kept account by Old Mrs. Xia, so how could he know how much the stingy Chen Weijun had given.
At this time, Old Lady Xia counted on her fingers and said, "I don't know how many big unity bills my old Chen gave you in total, but the gifts you gave me in total don't even have a big unity bill."
"When Xiangdong got married, you gave..." She calculated one thing after another, making Chen Weijun and his wife blush. Even Xu Meiyu couldn't stand it anymore.
"Who would give a mere twenty cents as a gift to their nephew? In the past few years, I gave your family more than twenty cents as a gift. If you keep calculating like this, your family will be completely humiliated."
Chen Weijun said awkwardly, "My family is poor. During those years, my two sons were big eaters. I only earned a small salary, so I couldn't save much money."
Xu Meiyu laughed out loud: "Why have two children if you can't afford to raise them? Who do you want to raise them for you? Big brother?"
"That's right. If it weren't for Big Brother, your whole family might have starved to death. Are you worthy of settling accounts with Big Brother now? How dare you say that? After all, your family has taken advantage of us the most over the years. Don't ruin your job just because you've taken advantage of us."
Chen Weimin was no longer polite. "In two or three years, you, the second brother, will be a grandfather. Don't always act like a child and don't understand the ways of the world. I'm even younger than you, and I don't even dare to say such shameless words. Forget me, ask any other children, who would have the nerve to say such words to their eldest brother?"
Xu Meiyu also stood up. "When I gave birth to my first child, I asked my sister-in-law to take care of me, and I was not respectful to her. I was wrong. Today, taking advantage of our Xinhe's happy event, I also have the opportunity to apologize to her. Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
"My eldest brother has done my third child a great favor, and I also owe my eldest sister-in-law a great favor. These words are not empty words. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can, and I will never refuse."
"Second brother, please don't bring this up again. This is a matter between me and my sister-in-law. I will pay back what I owe. If my sister-in-law is angry with me, I will just bear it. I won't hold a grudge. I deserve it."
Old Lady Xia felt a little relieved after hearing such frank words. She was indeed angry with the Third Elder's family, but part of it was also angry at herself. It was her own fault that she was disrespectful, so she couldn't blame others for not respecting her.
Not to mention that the third brother said so much today, apologized, and expressed his attitude, and even the last bit of anger in Old Lady Xia disappeared.
She nodded to Xu Meiyu, indicating that she accepted what he said.
Now it was Chen Weijun's turn to feel uncomfortable. He could neither lower his head and apologize sincerely, nor could he bear to repay the favor and money to his eldest brother's family. Caught in a dilemma, he just sat down and remained silent.
Seeing this, Chen Weimin was anxious for him, "Second brother, what do you mean?"
"I'm telling you, make your words clear today. Don't be inferior to a woman like my wife. Don't let us all look down on you. What do you mean by not saying anything now? Are you trying to get away with it? Aren't you starving to death now? You obviously have money, so just pay it back."
"If you pay me back and really starve to death, how can my brother and I still ignore you? Think about it yourself. I'm telling you, if you don't show an attitude today, my attitude towards you will be the same as my brother's in the future. My brother and I are on the same side. My brother doesn't want to see you, and I don't want to see you in the future either."
Chen Mei nodded beside her: "I'm on Big Brother's side too."
Old Lady Xia watched them isolate Chen Weijun like elementary school students, feeling both amused and strange. They were almost two hundred years old, and yet they were still fighting over their own factions.
When Old Chen saw his second brother being forced into this state, he actually felt a little bit sorry. His heart, which had just hardened up, softened again. He wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but when he saw his third brother and younger sister helping him, he didn't want to say anything anymore. He also felt a little touched, and his eyes were a little wet.
