Old Mrs. Xia walked out of the compound triumphantly. Chen Xiangbecai didn't care how ugly his father's face was and insisted on seeing Old Mrs. Xia out. He felt happy when he thought that he had found a job by going to see his mother. Children who are filial to their mothers have many opportunities.
"Mom, please tell Comrade Qiao Yi a message. I'll probably go see her at nine o'clock in the morning on your day off this week. Tell her to wait for me directly at the factory gate."
Old Lady Xia was suspicious: "What do you want to do? What bad things do you want to do?"
Chen Xiangbei died unjustly. "Mom, swear to God, I haven't done anything bad recently. Comrade Qiao Yi and I have a revolutionary friendship. I was doing things for her."
Mrs. Xia: "What's the matter?"
Chen Xiangbei stood up straight immediately. "Mom, this is someone's privacy. I can't tell you. I also have professional ethics. Similarly, I won't tell anyone about your affairs. I'll come directly to you when I find out. It's probably around this Sunday. You can come out with Comrade Qiao Yi."
Old Lady Xia: "I haven't seen you for a few days. I think you've improved a lot. Of course, I'm really praising you."
Chen Xiangbei smiled foolishly.
After sending Old Lady Xia away, Chen Xiangbei returned to the compound in a haughty manner. "Tsk tsk, I just criticized you guys, and you're still so heartless. You didn't even see me off before I left. You're all ungrateful people."
"But I'm different. I'm a very filial child."
Chen Xiangnan tried hard to suppress the pain on his face. "Third brother, what are you talking about? Mom is important, but doesn't that mean Dad is unimportant? Mom is my biological mother, but doesn't that mean Dad is not my biological mother? Do you only have Mom in your eyes, not Dad?"
Seeing Old Chen nodding in satisfaction as he wished, Chen Xiangnan finally felt a little relieved. The third child, that damned child, actually wanted to step on him. Had he forgotten that their mother didn't want any of them anymore, and that their father would be the one to support them from now on?
He is indeed a fool. He still can't understand the situation.
Chen Xianghong sat silently by the side. She felt that her mother was important, and her father was important too. If she went out to see her mother off, her father would be unhappy, and if she didn't go out to see her mother off, her mother would be unhappy too.
In the end, she still didn't move. Her mother didn't say a word to her alone today. She talked to everyone else but not her. She thought that she was the child her mother hated the most.
Thinking of this, Chen Xianghong suddenly shed a tear, and then immediately wiped it away with her sleeve.
Old Chen dragged the man into the house, closed the door, and pointed at his forehead and cursed: "You are filial to your mother, but does she care about you? Did she take you away? Don't you still rely on me for food? If you really despise me and really want to be filial to your mother, why are you living in my house? Get out."
Old Chen kept nagging, "If you want to be with your mother so badly, then don't get in my way. Go take her last name. Isn't it unfair for you to have my last name? You're so arrogant and even defy me in public. If you're so capable, why don't you stop eating and drinking from me and still live here? Get out! I don't have a son like you!"
Chen Xiangbei staggered and felt aggrieved when he heard Old Chen telling him to get out in a stern voice. If he had a place to live, he wouldn't want to live here. Living here was no different from being an orphan whose parents had died. No one would care about him anyway.
But the key point is that he has nowhere to go. His mother lives in a dormitory, so it is impossible for him to live there. His eldest brother and his wife are so stingy that they can't raise a younger brother. The rest of his brothers and sisters all live under his father's roof, and it seems that they are all trying to please his father.
To ask whether Chen Xiangbei regretted it, the answer was definitely no. He simply did not think about reflecting on himself, let alone thinking that his father was the one who had the final say in the family, and that he, as a child, had to please his father. He had no such concept in his mind at all.
As for his attempt to please Old Lady Xia, it wasn't really a form of flattery for him. He just missed his mother at first, and then he felt that he was doing better than his brothers and sisters, so he had a sense of superiority and wanted to do better so that they couldn't surpass him. That was all.
In Chen Xiangbei's mind, there is no concept of pleasing others at all.
So, when such a person faces his father telling him to get out, his first reaction is that he has nowhere else to go and must stay here. Others think so too and they all think that he will give in.
But this damn kid's actions would always be beyond their imagination. Not only did he not give in, he ran over, opened the door and started howling.
"Ahhhh I don't want to live anymore. My dad wants me to die."
"How can there be such a father? He would kick his own son out when he gets angry."
"Just because I said something to my mother, he became like this. Is he still my real father?"
"Dear uncles and aunts, has anyone told me that I am really my father's biological child?"
"If not, where can I find my biological parents? He's really going to drive me to death."
"It's so cold now, and you want me to get out of the house, what should I do?"
"I don't have a job yet, I don't have any money, I... well..."
He didn't get to say the last word as Chen Xiangnan covered his mouth and dragged him into the house. He then closed the door, not wanting the neighbors' attention to fall into their house again.
"Chen Xiangbei, are you crazy? Don't you think our family has been criticized enough by them?" Chen Xiangnan pointed at him, took a few steps and then took a step back. He really didn't know how to curse.
Old Chen raised his hand and wanted to slap him. He was so angry that his mind was confused, but Chen Xiangbei stared at the door outside, as if if he hit him, Chen Xiangbei would go to the yard and throw a tantrum, saying that his father was going to beat him to death.
Old Chen put his hand down helplessly, "Third brother, that's not what Dad meant."
Chen Xiangbei was like a stubborn ox, and he got angry instead. "Dad, you just told me to take my mom's last name. If I really take my mom's last name, then you'll only have my second brother as your son. Forget about having many children and grandchildren, my second brother will become the only child."
Old Chen felt that he shouldn't be angry with this fool. In the end, he was the one who was angry. He was a fool, a big fool!
"Okay, okay, stop howling. I was just saying that out of anger, but you took it seriously." Old Chen had no choice but to give in.
Chen Xiangbei stretched out his hand and said, "Then give me some money. I don't have a job yet. You have to support me, Dad. You said so yourself."
Old Chen covered his chest and sat down unable to hold on.
Seeing Chen Xiangbei's stubborn look, Old Chen had reason to suspect that if he didn't give him money now, this guy might sneak into his house in the middle of the night and stare at him with his hand outstretched.
Thinking of this scene, Old Chen was shocked and angrily started to take out money and tickets and stuff them into his hands.
Chen Xiangbei was still a little dissatisfied after receiving it. "That's all! My sister gave me more than you. You are so stingy. If someone doesn't know me, they would think I am my sister's son."
Old Chen got up and went back to the house. If he continued listening, he would have to go to the hospital.
