It wasn't long before I arrived at this compound, but it felt like a lifetime ago.
Looking at everything familiar, Old Lady Xia felt a little emotional, but she wanted Xiangbei to find someone as soon as possible.
Old Lady Yin came out with her two children. Seeing Old Lady Xia standing outside the compound, she was extremely surprised. "Sister Yue'e, are you here to see me?"
She was very happy. They used to see each other every day, but they hadn't seen each other since her divorce. She didn't think about anything else. Her sister Yue'e must have come to see her. There was no way she was going to see those Chen family members. It had only been a short time since the divorce. It was impossible for her to forget the pain so quickly.
Old Mrs. Xia smiled at Old Mrs. Yin with a worried look on her face, but when she saw Chen Lingling hugging her legs and shouting, "Grandma, I miss you so much," she had no choice but to touch Chen Lingling's head and said that she missed her too.
Everyone in the compound gathered around and asked about her well-being. After all, she was the one who almost caused all the women in the compound to divorce. Who would dare to disrespect her?
The women came to ask about her recent situation, her life and mentality after divorce, while the men were wary that she would go crazy again and trick their wives into divorce.
This old lady would either be docile and submissive, or she would lose control of her fart and use her full strength. The impact would be too huge, and they were really scared.
Chen Xiangnan and his wife had just returned from outside. Since their mother left home, no one had entered the kitchen except to boil water for bathing. Oh, Chen Xiangbei would cook for himself when he wanted to eat, and Chen Xianghong would also use it when she came home.
Come to think of it, it has been a long time since they had a meal together as a family.
When Chen Xiangnan saw Old Lady Xia, his eyes lit up. Like Chen Xiangbei, he hadn't seen Old Lady Xia for a few days and always felt that something was wrong.
"Mom - are you here to see us?" Chen Xiangnan walked over and paused when he saw that Old Mrs. Xia seemed to have gained a little weight. His mother seemed to be living particularly well after leaving them.
Old Mrs. Xia nodded and said, "Let's go to your Aunt Yin's house and talk."
When Old Lady Yin saw that Old Lady Xia chose her among so many invitations, she felt very proud, like a victorious rooster striding home with her people. The relationship between her and Sister Yue'e was incomparable to that of others. Their friendship was as strong as steel.
Chen Xiangnan and Tang Jiao followed him in. Before they even sat down, they heard his mother's familiar voice: "Second brother, go get the third brother."
Chen Xiangnan was a little puzzled. The third brother had made his mother so angry before, but his mother was still thinking about him. Chen Xiangnan felt a little jealous in his heart that he was not even aware of, but he still obediently went out.
Chen Xiangbei ran over, fearing that he would miss his mother if he was a second late, and left Chen Xiangnan who went to call him behind. It seemed that Chen Xiangnan disliked Old Lady Xia a little, which made him very angry.
"Mom - you came to see me?" Chen Xiangbei has been very quiet these days. When he eats alone, he always thinks of the lively family in the past when his mother was there.
After Mom left, home no longer felt like home.
Chen Xiangbei feels this more deeply than anyone else in the family. Now he is the person who spends the longest time at home every day.
No one scolded him, but no one paid attention to him either. The feeling of being abandoned was the deepest.
The man who used to love going out and playing now stays at home all day, lazy and unwilling to move. However, he went out again recently. He plans to ask the sister from last time to treat him to a meal after getting some news.
Chen Xiangbei wanted to stay with Old Lady Xia all the time. For the first time since her divorce, Old Lady Xia did not refuse him. "Third brother, Mom has something to ask for your help."
Old Chen stayed at home. When he turned around, all the children were gone. He shouted for a long time before he realized that they were no longer at home.
The second son and his wife only come back after dinner every day. The third son is always at home and comes back after eating in the cafeteria every day.
Although Old Mrs. Xia is gone, Old Chen believes that even without her, they can still live a decent life and things will get better and better. Don't think that she is such an important person.
But in the blink of an eye, all his children disappeared, and only Chen Xianghong walked in from outside with a confused look on her face, telling Old Chen that she was going to marry Yu Hongzhen.
When Yu Hongzhen is not on a mission, she only comes back at night. When he is on a mission, she stays at home all day and cooks for Chen Xiangbei.
She also wanted to help him wash his clothes, but maybe it was because the clothes were the trigger on New Year's Day, Chen Xiangbei didn't let her touch his clothes at all. Moreover, his clothes have been much cleaner recently, and he actually looks like a good boy who loves cleanliness.
So Chen Xianghong would simply clean the house. Since the family didn't spend much time together, there was much less housework to do.
When she came back this time, she found it strange that only Old Chen was at home, as everyone should be at home at this time.
"Dad, my brother Yu and I plan to get married directly in the army. We won't have a family wedding. Let's have a meal together as a family?" After a while, Chen Xianghong finally told him her plan.
Old Chen started smoking again. "Have you informed her?"
Chen Xianghong pursed her lips, knowing he was talking about her mother, and shook her head, "I'm afraid she doesn't want to see me."
Old Chen raised his eyes and glanced at his daughter. "Have you not visited her during this period?"
Chen Xianghong shook his head.
"Aren't you worried that she's not doing well, that she's feeling uncomfortable, that those people's words are making her want to curse again? Don't you miss her?" Old Chen suddenly remembered that he thought Xia Yue'e was too cruel, not even wanting his daughter, but now...
Chen Xianghong: "I'm worried, but...but...Mom didn't even want us to help move her luggage, so how could she possibly see me? I'm her daughter, so of course I miss her, but I'm afraid to disturb her, afraid she'd get angry again if she saw me."
Old Chen gave her a deep look and said, "I didn't see you break up with that guy because I was afraid she would be angry. Now you want to get married?"
Chen Xianghong: "Dad, Brother Yu and I are in this situation now. How can we just break up? He gave up coming here from Hai City for me and broke up with his parents. For him, my mother even gave up on me. If we don't date now, what will all our efforts before mean?"
Old Chen laughed, and he felt as if his life was miserable, but he didn't realize it. He said, "Oh."
He has been a man and a father for most of his life. How could he not know what Chen Xianghong meant?
She must have felt a little regretful, but she had paid too much and was afraid to let go easily.
As for meeting Old Lady Xia, Chen Xianghong probably felt too embarrassed to go. She wasn't afraid of Old Lady Xia's dislike, but of her previous efforts being laughed at.
