Chen Xiangnan tossed and turned all night, keeping Old Chen and Chen Xiangbei awake.
"Second brother, what do you want to do?"
Chen Xiangnan simply sat up and asked, "Third brother, if, I mean if, Mom got into a fight with someone, and she found out that my son had secretly gone to that person to mediate, and in the middle of that fight he said something unkind to us, what would Mom do?"
Chen Xiangbei was in a daze and didn't hear what his second brother said at all.
On the contrary, Old Chen jumped up upon hearing this and asked in horror: "Second Brother, don't beat around the bush. What good things have you done?"
Chen Xiangbei was kicked under the bed by Old Chen's action. He sat on the ground in a thin piece of clothing in such a cold weather that he felt so cold that his mind was clear.
"Brother, have you made a big mistake?"
Chen Xiangnan hesitated to speak. He had really made a mistake. He had the audacity to speak ill of his own mother in front of his third aunt. If it was his old mother, he would have just said it. At most, she would have been sad for a while, then said a few mild words to him, and he would have said some nice things to her, and the matter would have been over.
But now, his mother's fighting ability is top among all the relatives, and her cruelty to children is also top. When he thought about his mother's reaction after she knew it, he was in a panic.
The most frightening thing is that this knife may come and take his head at any time.
Old Chen pressed Chen Xiangnan to tell him about this, but Chen Xiangnan was no fool. He knew that the more people knew about this, the more danger there would be. He hadn't been able to resist asking this hypothetical, stupid question, and Old Chen was already furious. It was obvious that if he really told this, his father would be fooled by his words and it would be troublesome.
Chen Xiangbei kept nagging in his ear like a monk chanting sutras. Chen Xiangnan was not annoyed at all and simply lay down and covered his face with the quilt, showing a clear attitude of refusing to answer.
As a result, he was the first one among the three of them to fall asleep.
Old Chen was so frightened that he couldn't sleep all night. He didn't want to lose another son. At the dinner table, he spoke nicely and freely about Chen Xiangdong, but what he thought in his heart was completely different from what he said. He still felt sorry for Xiangdong's family.
Now the second child has gotten into this trouble again. If the second child really did the unclear thing he just said and Grandma Xia knew about it, the second child would not be able to be saved.
Then wouldn't he only have the stupid third child left to smash the pot after his death?
No, no, no, that's not possible. He clearly has three sons, so how come the third son is the only one?
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He simply woke up the third child and told him to be smart all night. Chen Xiangbei was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He was held by his father and scolded all night. He wanted to die.
On the second day, Song Xinhe got up early, put on her clothes, asked her good sister to put on makeup for her, and then was hugged by Chen Mei and cried for a while, and then began to wait for the groom to come.
When Chen Mei was halfway through crying, Fang Rong came over. Seeing the mother and daughter hugging each other, she slowly walked up to them and asked, "Has the third brother's family not arrived yet?"
Fang Rong felt that Chen Mei was useless and it was pointless to ask her for help. It would be better to ask her in person, such as Xu Meiyu or Old Chen.
Of course, she thought Old Chen was inferior to Xu Meiyu, so she put him behind Xu Meiyu in her request.
Chen Mei nodded: "He's probably still asleep. He'll be here soon."
Fang Rong nodded, gave Song Xinhe a perfunctory blessing, and then went out.
Song Xinhe had a particularly bad premonition, "Mom, I always feel like something is going to happen."
After hearing what her daughter said, Chen Mei felt a little panicked. "Mom, I'll go out and keep an eye on her. Don't let anything really happen."
Chen Mei tidied her daughter's clothes again and then walked out with a smile on her face.
Xu Meiyu hasn't arrived yet, but Old Lady Xia has.
Fang Rong pulled her aside and asked, "Sister-in-law, is Brother awake yet?"
Old Lady Xia shook her head. "I don't know him. He didn't sleep in the same room with me yesterday. Why are you, a younger sister, asking about Big Brother's whereabouts?"
Fang Rong didn't even bother to answer her. After hearing that Old Chen was gone, she sat back down and stared outside the house.
Now, it was Old Lady Xia's turn to feel uneasy. It seemed that the second son's family was about to cause some big trouble.
She took Chen Xianghong to Song Xinhe's room, praised her a few words, walked out, and sat on a stool not far from Fang Rong.
Old Lady Xia sat on the left, and Chen Mei sat on the right. They were staring at him as if he were a suspect, not daring to relax for a moment.
Finally, Fang Rong moved. Old Mrs. Xia looked up and found that it was Chen Weimin and his wife who walked into the room.
When she was wondering why Fang Rong made such a move at this moment, Fang Rong knelt down in front of Xu Meiyu and hugged her legs tightly.
"Sister-in-law, you have to save your nephew."
Xu Meiyu was scared to death early in the morning. Anyone would be scared if someone knelt down in front of them as soon as they walked into the house.
"Second sister-in-law, what are you doing? Get up quickly. What happened to my nephew?" Xu Meiyu bent down to help her, but she didn't move at all and just kept crying to herself.
"My son Ligang is about to graduate, but he still hasn't found a job. His father and I are useless. He hasn't even found a job yet. If you don't help him, he'll really go to the countryside."
"The countryside isn't a place for people to stay. You have to work in the fields. Li Gang has never done any work since he was a child. Wouldn't going to the countryside be like seeking death?"
"Third sister-in-law, you've already found a job for Yu He, so you can definitely help your nephew find a job, right?"
Chen Mei's face looked very ugly. What Fang Rong had just said completely hit her sore spot.
First, today was her daughter's wedding day, and she was calling for death. Who was she trying to curse? Second, she was kneeling at the gate so recklessly, with so many relatives and neighbors coming and going. Although they didn't make a scene out of respect for Chen Mei, it still embarrassed her family. Finally, she kept saying that the third brother's family had found a job for her son Yu He. Was she coveting that job?
Chen Mei was even more furious, not even considering that her eldest son was a hopeless piece of shit. He was worthy of competing with her Yu He for a job. Her son was incompetent, and their parents were even more incompetent and unruly. If her family hadn't treated her eldest brother's family so badly, the third brother's family might have given this opportunity to Chen Ligang.
After all, one is a member of their Chen family, and the other is a child of a different surname born to their married sister-in-law. It is obvious who is closer to whom.
In the final analysis, it was their own fault that she got away with it.
