Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Old Mrs. Xia went out to the bathroom. Just as she was pulling up her pants and rubbing her hands to go back to sleep, she noticed someone outside her door.
There was someone here in the middle of the night! This frightened Old Lady Xia so much that she lost all her sleepiness.
"Who is it?" she cried.
Chen Xiangnan turned around and said, "Mom, I want to talk to you."
Old Mrs. Xia immediately started cursing. Did he want to scare her to death in the middle of the night?
It turns out that sons are all debts.
"What do you want to say?"
Chen Xiangnan poured her a cup of hot tea from the kitchen. "Mom, why do you disagree with me and Tang Jiao tonight?"
Old Lady Xia rolled her eyes and said, "I can't bear to see that girl's life wasted by you."
Chen Xiangnan: "Mom, when did you become such a kindhearted person again? I'm your biological son, and you don't feel sorry for me being single, so how can you still have the energy to feel sorry for outsiders?"
Old Lady Xia: “Because…”
Before she could finish her words, Chen Xiangnan continued, "Mom, marrying her will benefit me and our entire family. Her father is the director of a hospital, and she's a nurse. Although her mother doesn't have a job, she has many powerful relatives. No matter how you look at it, it will benefit us a lot."
"Whether I like her or not, I will treat her well. According to what you said, if I delay her and I break up with her, does that mean her future partner will treat her well?"
"She loves me so much, she'd be very sad if I broke up with her. Is this what you call doing it for her own good? To do it for her own good, you can't just choose what's right for her; you also have to consider what she likes. She might not be happy if someone she doesn't like gave her a bicycle, but even if I gave her a wildflower I picked from the roadside, she'd be as happy as if it were a holiday."
"What's the purpose of living? Isn't it to be happy? Her job can ensure she has enough food and clothing. There's no chance she'll end up on the streets if I treat her badly. I told you I'll treat her well."
"Mom, you know I'm the best at making others happy, especially since she likes me very much. I will treat her well for the rest of my life."
Old Mrs. Xia really didn't know how to refute. She was always convinced by some people's reasons. At first glance, she actually thought there was nothing wrong with it.
Isn't life all about living happily? That girl likes the second brother, and he can make her happy all her life, so that girl's life is worth living. Why should she care about those external things?
Old Mrs. Xia was confused all of a sudden. She felt that she had lived two lifetimes but still did not understand life as well as her second son, a young boy.
She calmed down and thought carefully. Suddenly, she slapped her thigh. This damn boy almost fooled her. The essence of what he did was to deceive the girl.
If the girl knew that the second brother was just pretending to be nice to her recently, would she still think about having a future with him?
What if the second child can't pretend forever, and gets impatient after a few years? Everyone has a low tolerance for people they don't like and gets annoyed easily. What should the girl do then?
If the second son finds someone he really likes in the future, what will he do with his wife whom he doesn’t like?
Old Lady Xia asked one by one, and now it was Chen Xiangnan's turn to be silent. In essence, Old Lady Xia had a lot of reasons to explain to Chen Xiangnan.
Chen Xiangnan had no choice but to say, "Dong Chunmiao treated Lingling and me so badly before, but I never wanted to give up on her. It was only when she almost killed Lingling in the end that I was disappointed."
Old Lady Xia interrupted him, "That's because you like Dong Chunmiao."
Chen Xiangnan was silent again. Yes, he liked Dong Chunmiao in his heart. When she didn't mention her parents' home, he really liked her.
Chen Xiangnan: "Mom, I have a strong sense of responsibility. The above things will not happen. If I find someone I like in the future, I will also avoid her."
Old Lady Xia: "Ask yourself honestly, do you really have a sense of responsibility?"
Chen Xiangnan was a little embarrassed and annoyed. "Mom, how do you want me to promise you? Can I swear? I swear that if I ever let Tang Jiao down, I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life, and live a miserable life in my old age."
Old Lady Xia: "This kind of oath is not serious for you. If you have the guts, swear that if you treat that girl badly, you will be poor and destitute for the rest of your life."
Chen Xiangnan: ...He's really cruel. I swear he's really scared.
He was a little speechless and stared at Old Lady Xia, but finally he lowered his head.
He raised his hand and swore, "If I treat her badly, I will be poor and destitute for the rest of my life."
Old Lady Xia: "Swear again, who is she?"
Chen Xiangnan sighed and stopped trying to be clever. "If I, Chen Xiangnan, marry Tang Jiao and treat her badly, I will be poor and destitute for the rest of my life."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Old Lady Xia impatiently stand up and yawn. "Alright, I can't get involved in your affairs with her anyway, so do whatever you want. I'm so sleepy."
Chen Xiangnan: ...
Solving the problem of Old Lady Xia meant solving the hidden danger in his own family. Chen Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief. The next step was to solve the problem of Tang Jiao's family.
On the other side, Chen Xianghong was called into the leader's office early in the morning.
She was transferred to another position, and she would go to the warehouse and do the work of moving goods like men.
As soon as she left the office, she burst into tears.
Sister Sun and other colleagues came over to ask, and were furious after hearing this. This leader is such a bad guy.
They went together to ask, but the leader refused to see them.
"Did you offend anyone?" Sister Sun suddenly asked.
Chen Xianghong stopped crying for a moment, and suddenly thought of Yu Hongzhen's parents. They were not good people, but they were related to her, so it was normal for them to mess with her.
She was unfamiliar with the place. Apart from the comrades from the supply and marketing cooperative and Yu Hongzhen's family, she didn't know anyone else. It must be them who did it to Chen Xianghong.
What a disgusting person!
But what about her job? Her body can’t handle the work over there.
Chen Xianghong dejectedly handed over his work to other comrades and came to the warehouse.
As soon as she stepped in, a man who looked like a supervisor told her in a harsh tone to go to the back to move the goods. She hurried over and found that there were several heavy boxes of fabric. Besides her, the only person there was the truck driver.
"That batch of goods is in short supply and needs to be put into the warehouse for inventory immediately. Hurry up and don't delay things."
Chen Xianghong pointed at herself and asked, "Am I the only one here?"
Supervisor: "How about we assign you a bodyguard? Now that you're here, do the job if you can, and get out if you can't."
