Baoyuan was amused and laughed out loud, which attracted Zhu Wenying who was cooking in the kitchen.
She was very surprised by Old Chen's arrival, and she felt a little unhappy when she saw her son so happy to see him. They had been so cruel to drive her family away, but now they were pretending to be good grandfathers.
If he truly loved his grandson, he would have given the matter of dividing the family property a bit more thought, even for his grandson's sake. But this old man was actually intimidated by an old woman like Old Lady Xia. Not only did he not say a word of advice, he also packed up their things and threw them at the Zhu family without saying a word.
Zhu Wenying will never forget this vengeance, this hatred, and that scene in her life.
Now, he has two sons left and cannot give birth to grandchildren, so he knows to get along well with her Baoyuan. There is no such good thing in the world. Her Baoyuan has her surname, but he is not the grandson of the old Chen family.
Grandpa? What a bullshit grandpa. If someone really loves their grandson, even if the family is divided, they can still visit the child often, buy him some food, and give him some pocket money. Isn't that more practical than just saying "good grandson" now?
Zhu Wenying wanted to yell at him to vent her anger, but it was New Year's Day, and she didn't want to fight with her own parents during the day and then have to fight with Chen Xiangdong's father at night. She dared to have this idea mainly because Old Lady Xia was not with this old man. Otherwise, let alone fighting, she wouldn't even dare to fight.
For the sake of New Year's Eve, let him go today. Zhu Wenying felt that she was the kindest person in the world. She could hold back her anger towards such an evil grandfather. She also thought about the New Year's money.
She felt that since Old Chen dared to come here and see Baoyuan, the amount of the red envelope in his arms must be considerable. Whether it was because Baoyuan was his eldest grandson, a grandson he had not seen for a long time, or because he felt guilty about their separation from the family, Old Chen should have given Baoyuan a big red envelope this year.
Thinking of the red envelope, Zhu Wenying also walked out.
"Dad, you're here."
Old Chen nodded. When he saw Zhu Wenying, he found it difficult to hold the child with one hand. He took out the bowl of braised pork from his arms and wanted to hand it to Zhu Wenying.
Zhu Wenying's eyes lit up when she saw the braised pork. She thought Old Chen was quite capable, but since there was only a small bowl, she thought he was being stingy. "Dad, you only brought this little meat for the three of us?"
Her hand touched the bowl, and she said angrily, "It's cold. As a grandfather, why don't you think about Baoyuan, a child, eating cold meat and getting a stomachache? It turns out that Baoyuan is an unfavored child, otherwise he wouldn't be kicked out by you."
Although she wanted to talk nicely to Old Chen for the New Year's money, her mouth didn't listen to her brain when she opened her mouth, and the words she said were harsh and hurtful.
Old Chen's hand froze as he was handing over the meat.
Seeing that Old Chen seemed to have been deeply troubled by what she said, Zhu Wenying thought he felt guilty and stopped reaching for the bowl. She immediately pressed the issue, "Dad, you came to see Baoyuan this time, so you must have brought him some New Year's money, right?"
Old Chen was confused again. They give out New Year's money on the first day of the new year, which is tomorrow. How could the elders give out New Year's money on New Year's Eve? He hadn't prepared anything.
He didn't prepare anything for today, and he didn't prepare anything for tomorrow either. Old Lady Xia was in charge of the New Year's money, and he didn't even know how much Old Lady Xia had given, or whether she had given any to Baoyuan.
He just wanted to meet the boss today, so he used all means to steal a bowl of meat and give it to them, but the current scene is completely different from what he imagined.
The eldest couple didn't seem happy about his arrival. They didn't say a good word when they saw the meat. They just blamed him. Old Chen felt sad and lost.
Did they know how much risk he took for this bowl of meat? He didn't even know if he would be beaten on New Year's Eve when he returned. He knew the consequences in his heart, but he still did it without hesitation.
Then, he was still disliked by his son and daughter-in-law.
He finally realized that he had been standing at the door of the old man's house for a long time. The old man and his wife's behavior was worse than that of animals. Even if it was a stranger at the door, they should at least offer him a drink of hot water at this time, right?
Old Chen put down the Bao Yuan and stroked his messy hair that looked like it had been licked by a cow. "New Year's money can only be given to children when they come to pay New Year's greetings. I never taught the old and the young to ask for New Year's money like you do."
Zhu Wenying was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was going on. Old Chen, that stubborn old man, was saying that she had no manners. She immediately became angry, "Dad, how can you say such things on New Year's Day? You're already a grandfather, and you haven't come to see Baoyuan in such a long time. When you come, you only say nice things. You brought all this meat and thought Baoyuan would think you were a good grandfather. How could you possibly think that's so easy?"
Baoyuan was frightened by Zhu Wenying's sharp voice. With tears in his eyes and a pout in his mouth, he raised his head and cried, "Mom~"
Zhu Wenying nudged the child and said, "Baoyuan, your grandfather is here to see you. You should wish him a happy new year and good health."
Bao Yuan felt aggrieved. Although he was young, he knew that when Grandpa was not here, his parents were happy, but when Grandpa came, his mother would be angry. He felt that it was Grandpa who had offended his mother. Bao Yuan wiped his tears and looked up at Old Chen, "Grandpa, I wish you a bad new year."
Zhu Wenying's eyes darkened. She swore she had never taught her child to say such words. No matter how displeased she was with Old Chen, no matter how mad she was, she would never teach her own son such words.
"Baoyuan, don't talk nonsense."
Chen Xiangdong was embarrassed, "Dad, this is really not what we taught you."
Old Chen was so angry that he was about to smoke. He didn't expect that after traveling thousands of miles with the expectation of bringing them some meat, he would encounter such a thing.
It shows that he was blocked outside the door by his son, and then his eldest daughter-in-law openly asked him for money. When he refused, he was scolded. Finally, he was blessed with a happy new year by his eldest grandson who he always cared about.
Old Chen has lived for decades, and no one would wish others a bad New Year on such a good day.
But seeing Baoyuan's confused look, he didn't know what to say to a child. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm not your grandfather, I'm your maternal grandfather. Your father married into the family."
Chen Xiangdong's face suddenly turned green. His father had to bring up this matter on such a good day. If he had not been in a difficult situation, he would never have married into the family.
Bao Yuan was sensitive enough to notice that his father's mood had gotten worse. He pouted and said, "Grandpa, I wish you a bad New Year too."
