"Why not? I think it's fine." Old Lady Xia put her hands on her hips and pointed at Chen Xiangnan's forehead. "Only you can do it, and others can't. How come you are the only one who makes the rules? Whatever you say is the truth?"
Chen Xiangnan was scolded by his own mother at his father-in-law's house, which made him feel embarrassed. But he knew in his heart that the harder Old Lady Xia scolded and beat him in front of them, the more sympathetic they would be to him, and then the matter might just pass.
There are only benefits and no harm. I can earn my face back later. I should be more cautious next time and never let anyone find out.
After figuring this out, Chen Xiangnan immediately nodded and admitted his mistake, "Yes, Mom, you are right, I am not a good-for-nothing. I did such a thing in a moment of confusion. Go ahead and hit me."
He grabbed Old Lady Xia's hand and smashed it on his head.
Old Mrs. Xia: As soon as this brat sticks his butt out, she knows what he is going to do. She must not let him succeed.
Old Mrs. Xia grabbed his hair and walked out, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Mom." Tang Jiao shouted.
Old Lady Xia smiled at her and said, "Jiaojiao, it's cold at night. Go to bed early. I'll have a chat with the second child. Be good."
Chen Xiangnan was dragged outside to face the cold wind with a confused look on his face. After Old Lady Xia stood still, he called out in confusion, "Mom?"
"Mom, mom, you only know how to call me mom. Tell me what the hell I gave birth to. Why did you go to so much trouble to marry Tang Jiao before? Now that life is stable, you are getting restless and have to cause some trouble to disrupt the family?" Old Mrs. Xia really didn't understand what her son was thinking, nor did she understand what those men who like to mess around were thinking.
If you really like to play, why don’t you just get married? Why would you want to harm others?
Chen Xiangnan's scalp was pulled so hard it hurt. Seeing that the Tang family members went into the house after watching for a while, and no one came to persuade them, he simply gave up pretending and pulled Old Lady Xia's hand out of his hair, "Mom, what do you mean by me causing unrest in the family? That woman and I haven't even gotten to the point of having an affair. Can you please stop talking nonsense, especially in front of the Tang family? You are my mother, not Tang Jiao's mother. She has her own mother, why do you need to feel sorry for her?"
Old Mrs. Xia was shocked by Chen Xiangnan's logic. "Even if I'm your biological mother, I still have to be reasonable. Chen Xiangnan, you're my child. You can't go out and harm others."
Chen Xiangnan was impatient. "Didn't I say I wouldn't do that again? What else do you want from me? I'm going to kneel down in front of the Tang family and kowtow to Tang Jiao three times. Are you happy with that?"
Old Lady Xia pointed in the direction of the Tang family. She didn't believe that someone like Chen Xiangnan would kowtow and admit his mistakes. "Go ahead, kowtow once for me to see."
Chen Xiangnan turned around and ran, and Old Lady Xia started chasing after him.
Damn, you dead kid, you really need to kowtow to me. How come you are even more ferocious than Chen Xiangbei?
Chen Xiangnan ran into the Tang family, knelt down in front of Tang Jiao, and slapped himself several times. "Jiaojiao, I was really wrong. I kneel down to you. I will never have such thoughts again. Please forgive me, okay?"
Tang Jiao had already been shocked by the way he apologized, but when she saw a man actually kneeling down, she felt that she was still inexperienced.
Tang's parents had rarely seen a man do this. Their previous anger had largely dissipated. They felt that a man kneeling down to apologize to his wife was a clear sign that he truly knew he was wrong. Anyone who was determined enough to kneel down would surely change for the better.
"Xiao Chen, you... get up quickly, the ground is so cold." Tang's father walked over and wanted to help him up.
But Chen Xiangnan couldn't get up. He grabbed the corner of Tang Jiao's clothes and said pitifully, "Jiao Jiao."
When Old Lady Xia rushed in, she saw Chen Xiangnan kneeling firmly in front of Tang Jiao, looking like he was about to cry. He looked so pitiful.
When Tang's mother saw her come in, she whispered to her to go and persuade him, and said that he might have just been confused for a moment and didn't intend to do anything bad.
Tang Jiao couldn't bear it any longer and was about to speak when Old Lady Xia rushed over and started beating her.
"Second brother, you really have no shame. You acted like this just for Jiaojiao to see, right? Do you really admit your mistake in your heart? I don't believe it. If you can admit your mistake, I will call you mother."
Chen Xiangnan: ...That’s not necessary, but what the hell is wrong with him? He wants to make trouble at this time. Is he just jealous of him?
"Mom, what are you doing? What do you want me to do to make you believe me? Do you want me to die now to atone for my sins?" Chen Xiangnan raised his head and asked with red eyes, "Are you going to force me to die?"
Tang's father also tried to persuade her, "Xiangnan's mother, why don't you just let it go? We've all admitted our mistakes."
Old Lady Xia glanced at Tang's father with disdain. "Forget it? Who just came up to me and said that I was only giving birth and not teaching, and that I harmed your daughter? Where did all that anger go? I'm here to teach my son a lesson, and you guys are here to be the good guys. Are you Jiaojiao's biological father? She was almost cheated on, and you tell me to forget it?"
Tang's father's face flushed red as he mumbled, "You have to give your child a chance to correct his mistakes. You can't just beat him to death with one blow. You've beaten him and scolded him, but you can't really force them to divorce."
Old Lady Xia didn't want to talk to this mentally ill old man, so she turned to Tang Jiao and asked, "Jiaojiao, what do you think? He has lost all his dignity now, and you still want to live with him? Aren't you afraid? He's using this trick against you. In the future, if he makes a mistake again, kneels down again, and you forgive him again, then later when you want to settle the score with him, he'll say he's already kneeled, so what else can you ask? He can only kneel again."
"Kneel once, and you must forgive him. After all, according to your father, if a man is willing to kneel before you, then he is not wrong, and he will have another chance to correct his mistakes."
Tang Jiao's expression changed slightly, and her attitude, which had softened a little just now, immediately changed back to normal.
After hearing this, Tang's father fell into deep thought. He couldn't bear it again and again. How could Tang Jiao possibly withstand such a blow?
Tang's mother became even more furious. After hearing what Old Lady Xia said, she also felt that Chen Xiangnan was too extreme. How could a grown man be so shameless as to do such a thing? What else could he not do in the future? It was simply terrifying.
Remembering that Tang's father was still saying nice things just now, Tang's mother glared at him fiercely.
Tang's father touched his nose, feeling a little guilty. How could he have known that someone could be so complicated? He was a serious man, so he never expected it to be this complicated.
Chen Xiangnan finally couldn't help but yell, "Mom, what do you want from me?"
Old Lady Xia touched his head and said, "Second brother, of course I hope you are well."
Chen Xiangnan: "What do you mean now?"
Old Lady Xia: "That depends on what Jiaojiao thinks."
