Chen Weijun was driven crazy. It seemed as if these people were against him today, and they all came to denounce him.
Is it so easy to repay Big Brother's money? How much money, how many good things, how many benefits he has received from him over the years? If you really count them all, even if you sell his two sons and his wife, he still can't pay it back.
He wanted to agree directly. If they just wanted him to show some attitude, he could give them that attitude. But if he really said it, if someone took it seriously and asked him to pay a little back from his salary every month, then hard times would really come for his family.
Otherwise, if we really have to break it off, then let’s break it off. Chen Weijun made up his mind and stood up.
He felt guilty, but to cover it up, he spoke even louder, "I know you guys think our family can't compare to you, so you all come to force me to do something that will impress Big Brother."
"Okay, I'll do as you wish. I'll leave now and won't bother you anymore."
Chen Weijun turned around and left, pulling Fang Rong, who was sitting next to him, over and almost causing her to fall.
Chen Mei wanted to call him. After all, her Xinhe's wedding had not even started and it had already turned into such a mess. How would she face people if she told others about it?
But she thought again, if she called her second brother's family, they might even get angry, so she rolled her eyes and suddenly said,
"Brother, you gave me your gift money. If you leave now, you won't be able to enjoy the delicious food tomorrow. I won't return the money."
Chen Weijun felt as if fate had grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, his feet suddenly taking root. He wanted to leave, to have some backbone, but after hearing these words, he could no longer move.
Yes, he paid a gift, so why couldn’t he eat the good food tomorrow? Moreover, he didn’t even eat much of today’s delicious food before they attacked him. He was really at a loss.
But if he sat down now, he would be contradicting himself. Chen Weijun rarely started to feel conflicted.
Unable to leave, he saw Chen Xiangdong pick up another large piece of chicken and stuff it into his mouth. It must taste good.
Why is Chen Xiangdong, who has separated and lives on his own, living better than him? The one who should be condemned the most today is this unfilial son.
He convinced himself in an instant, let go of Fang Rong, turned around, sat down, and started picking up food and eating with big mouthfuls.
Chen Xiangdong ate and watched the fun. The most relaxed people at the table were his family of three. But just as he was enjoying his meal, he sensed a sense of ill will. When he looked up, the ill will disappeared. He suspected that he might be too sensitive.
Seeing his second uncle sitting down and eating even more big mouthfuls than him, taking away half a bowl of food with one pick, he became anxious and quickly put the chopsticks in his hand into the bowls of the three members of his family, for fear that they would all be snatched away.
I didn't notice that in the blink of an eye, only the bottom of the three pots of food in front of my second uncle was left.
Old Chen didn't get any response, and neither did Chen Mei and Chen Weimin. Instead, in the blink of an eye, the dishes on the table disappeared at an extremely fast speed, like a swarm of locusts.
Chen Mei: "Don't eat so fast, there's enough food. Be careful not to choke."
Seeing Chen Weimin start to put food into Xu Meiyu's bowl, Old Chen and his family also started to put food into their own bowls, and no one spoke at the table all of a sudden.
Chen Mei: ...How come you eat like this, like you've never seen the world before?
There was no time to persuade her, so she quickly sat down and ate together. In the end, even the soup was mixed into the rice, and the plate was smooth and wet.
Ever since the four siblings started their own families, they hadn't had such a hearty meal. It was like when they were little, when there was nothing to eat at home, and everyone would scramble for a bowl of wild vegetables with gusto. It still... made them feel a little nostalgic.
Chen Mei wiped the sweat from her head. She was sweating a little while fighting for food in such a cold weather. It was such a satisfying feast!
Chen Weijun ate too much, and so did Chen Xiangdong and his family. They slumped in their chairs, rubbing their stomachs.
Old Chen was not full and was very angry. He was old and had not seen such a fierce fight for food in a long time. He could not compete with those starving people.
Seeing the table full of dishes, Chen Mei hesitated and asked, "Let me stir-fry a few more dishes. There's a piece of bacon in the kitchen. Steam it and it'll go best with rice."
She is different from Fang Rong. She is a snob, but not stingy. If she says she will do something, she will get up and do it without waiting for their answer.
Old Chen waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's already late, don't bother."
Chen Mei nodded, and the living room fell silent again.
"How about you guys take a rest first? Big brother, you sleep at Tiancheng's cousin's house next door. Second brother, you sleep at his younger brother's house, and third brother, you sleep until..." Chen Mei began to arrange accommodation for them. The house was small but fortunately there were relatives living next door, so it was not difficult to stay there for one night. It was better than going to a guesthouse and wasting money.
She didn't know how to continue the topic they had just discussed during dinner. It was obvious that her second brother didn't want to pay back the money. If she continued talking about it, he might get angry and overturn the table in her house. Then she would be in big trouble.
Today, the girls had a fight and suffered heavy losses. If the boys fought again, she really wouldn't be able to hold on.
It is better to have less trouble than more. No matter what happens, let's wait until her Xinhe is officially married. Chen Mei prayed in her heart that nothing will happen again. She just wanted to spend tonight and tomorrow in peace.
After most people had left, Chen Mei's parents-in-law came out. They had been staying in the house and didn't dare to go to the toilet.
The old couple went to the public toilet outside and then came back to ask about the situation.
Their shouting was so loud that the old couple could hear it even if they were deaf.
Chen Mei sighed, "Mom and Dad, I'll tell you after Xinhe gets married tomorrow. I don't know how to handle this matter anymore."
Chen Xinhe looked disgusted. "Mom, how could my uncles do this? They wanted to destroy our house before I got married. I'm going to be so embarrassed tomorrow. Look at what our house has become."
Chen Mei hugged her daughter with heartache. She also felt sorry for the child. How could such a happy event turn out like this?
"Mom will explain to them tomorrow."
Chen Xinhe turned around and left. Before closing the door, she said unhappily, "You'd better not say anything. What if they didn't notice it before, but saw it once you said it? I don't know what they would think of me. How would I, as the new daughter-in-law, gain a foothold there?"
Chen Mei looked worried as she started to clean up the remaining mess at home with her mother-in-law. She didn't dare ask her sister-in-law for help after the situation became like this, because she would end up throwing unwashed dishes at her.
