Yu's mother regrouped. Even if... even if the people in her family did these things, the status of her family's old Yu was obvious. Their family was full of capable people, unlike the people in Chen Xianghong's family.
If it weren't for her son, how would that dead girl Chen Xianghong have had the chance to come to Hai City to see the world, and how would she have had the chance to get a job in the supply and marketing cooperative? She would probably still be stuck in this place, maybe not even able to find a job and would have to go back to the countryside to be a country bumpkin.
That damn old woman said nice things about the troops in this unit and that unit, but when it came to taking advantage, she showed no mercy and took every benefit she could get. Isn't this a prime example of eating with a bowl in hand and cursing after putting it down?
She is a civilized person, different from this vulgar old lady. She can't say anything unpleasant, but she is not a fool. She doesn't just follow what the Chen family says.
"You talk nicely. I'm a pimp. Our family is like a tiger eating its own cubs. Are your family any good? If you really love your daughter, would you send her, a girl, to the countryside to suffer? You scold us, but don't you think about who you are?" Yu's mother's voice became louder and louder. She felt more and more that she was much better than their family. What they said just now was nonsense.
Chen Xianghong defended him, "You're the one who's a piece of shit. I went to the countryside voluntarily to build our country. You're saying this policy of going to the countryside seems like I was forced to go. And you're the wife of a leader, so how come you don't have any awareness at all?"
Yu's mother: "We are the elders talking, why are you, a junior, butting in?"
Yu Hongzhen: "Mom, you're allowed to confuse right and wrong, but you're not allowed to explain to Xiang Hong? She's right. You need to improve your thinking. I'll tell the higher-ups when I get back. You have to go to class now."
Yu's mother was so angry that she wanted to strangle her son to death. "I worked so hard to raise you, and now you've grown so independent and you're turning against your own parents. You can't report your own father, but now you want to report me?"
Yu Hongzhen raised his head and said, "I am impartial and selfless, and I will sacrifice my relatives for the sake of justice."
Chen Xiangbei had never seen such a family before. How could it be worse than his? They were even fighting among themselves. He approached Old Lady Xia and said, "Mom, they are about to start a fight among themselves. They don't even need us to do anything. They will collapse from within."
Old Lady Xia asked quietly, "Have you been reading recently? You sound quite cultured."
Chen Xiangbei suddenly felt proud. He had fallen out with his good friends and was now hanging out with a different group. They didn't fight or cheat, but rather enjoyed debates. He always came in last. He refused to admit defeat, and when there was a nerdy kid among them, he borrowed books from him, determined to win next time.
Tang Jiao sipped water. She had already eaten her fill and wanted to get up to clean up, but the atmosphere wasn't conducive to it. She was a little flustered. What new bride wouldn't do the work? But Chen Xiangnan held her shoulders and told her not to talk. She was a little unsure of the rules of this household.
But her second day of marriage was still so exciting, wouldn’t it be even more exciting in the future?
The internal conflict between them ended after Yu Hongzhen was slapped twice more. Chen Xianghong was really distressed. Yu Hongzhen's face was even red from being slapped. "Are you his biological parents? How could you be so cruel?"
Brothers Chen Xiangnan and Chen Xiangbei exchanged glances with Old Chen. What's wrong with Chen Xianghong? She's so distressed after a few slaps. Then why didn't anyone show any sympathy when they were beaten by their wives at home? Who could they cry to?
Old Lady Xia touched her nose, feeling a little uncomfortable under the gazes of the three of them, but then she immediately became righteous. Before, they had all been doing nothing but doing things that made her suffer. If she didn't beat them, would she have to worship them?
Thinking of this, Old Lady Xia glared back fiercely.
Yu's father pointed at Chen Xianghong and said, "Shut up! This is my son. You haven't even entered my house yet, and you're already telling me what to do."
Chen Xianghong immediately retorted, "This is my home. If you want to hit him, go back and do it. Don't do it at my house. If you hit him at my house, I will tell you."
Yu's mother: "You are just a little girl, but you are always meddling in this and that. Why are you so annoying? Your parents haven't said anything, so how did it become your family? You are a girl who will get married sooner or later, so you should stop meddling in your parents' affairs."
Old Lady Xia: "You're talking nonsense. If this isn't her home, then how could it be yours? She's my daughter, and this will be her home forever. She has the final say on everything that happens at home! Old Chen, what do you think?"
Old Chen was originally sitting, but now he couldn't sit still. How could he object to his wife's question? He didn't have the final say on anything in the family. He immediately cleared his throat and said, "Yes, even if she gets married, she's still a member of this family and can manage its affairs."
He looked at Yu's mother suspiciously. "Could it be that you at the Maritime still hold onto the old ways, believing that a married woman is no longer part of your family? That she's a money-loser, raised by the man's family from infancy? Tsk tsk, people in small places like us aren't that feudal. You're in a big city, and you two keep calling yourselves leaders. How can you be so feudal?"
"You're not still clinging to the old customs, are you? Oh, this is truly terrifying. With a leader like your man, how are people in your area going to get by? Life isn't good at all."
"Xiang Hong, let's not go. It's too feudal there. We can't live a hard life there. Just thinking about the life here, even an old man like me can't stand it. If you have a pair of parents-in-law like them, you will have a lot of hard times in the future."
"They don't love their daughters. They keep saying things like that, and their children will follow suit. If you can't give birth to a son, they might even give you some weird folk remedy. You're so confused."
Old Chen had a look of disgust on his face, as if their Hai City was some horrible, shabby place, even more feudal than the countryside. This made Yu's father and mother so angry that they wanted to go crazy. Nothing the old man said was what they liked to hear.
Although their goal was to prevent Chen Xianghong from marrying into their family, they felt uncomfortable when she despised them so much.
What they hope is that Chen Xianghong's family will think that they are not worthy of their family, so they will choose to reject them with self-awareness, instead of rejecting them out of disgust like they are doing now.
By the time the news reaches Hai City, how will the two of them face people?
