Chen Xiangbei had his head grabbed, and he looked at his old father blankly with his small eyes, trying to awaken the remaining fatherly love in his father's heart.
But no, his old father was completely focused on the old woman and didn't even look at him.
"Now you're talking about me. You're so close to your father-in-law's family that people who don't know would think I married off another son. You're also an older brother, so why don't you take care of your younger brother? He's starving and getting bullied. Why don't you help him deal with it?" Old Chen hated it the most when his sons blamed him. They acted as if he owed them something.
As a father, he had already done a good job raising them to adulthood, not letting them starve or freeze. He was already a good father. According to the second son's idea, did he have to take care of them until they were old, until he died?
"If you ask me, you are the most useless ones. When I was your age, I got married and had children, and I moved out long ago. Unlike you, your children can talk, but they still stay in my house, eating and putting down bowls and cursing at their father. I am not even at the stage where I need you to support me, but you want to turn over and become my father?
If you think I'm not doing a good job as a father, then get out. I didn't ask you to live in my house. That's the house allocated to me by the machinery factory, not to you. You can only live here if I let you. If I don't want you to live here, then get out."
Old Chen is currently in a sad moment because his beloved is unwilling to accept him because his family members do not agree, and the culprit is right in front of him. How can this not make Old Chen angry and lose his mind?
When a person loses his mind, he starts talking nonsense without caring about the consequences or whether it will hurt others.
He turned around and ran towards Yang Su's house, hoping to coax her back. As a widow with three sons, she had already suffered enough, and he would never let them suffer any more in the future.
As for his own sons, they were already grown up and disobedient, so he could do whatever he wanted. He completely forgot that Yang Su's three sons were about the same age as Chen Xiangbei, and except for the youngest, the other two were also adults.
One is one year older than Chen Xiangbei and is unemployed and wants Yang Su to give his job to him. One is two months older than Chen Xiangbei and is still studying even though he is an adult. The other is two years younger than Chen Xiangbei.
After hearing what Old Chen said, Chen Xiangbei watched him run away. He was not really a fool, so he must have understood the ruthlessness in Old Chen's words, "Brother, Dad is crazy."
Chen Xiangnan didn't expect that Old Chen could be so cruel. He seemed to love them very much before, but why did he become like this now?
But he couldn't panic. If he panicked, Chen Xiangbei would panic even more. Then, he wouldn't be able to come up with any good ideas. He remained calm on the surface, but his mind was working quickly. "Third brother, go find out what's going on at that old woman's house. It's best to find out everything, no matter how big or small, and don't miss a single thing."
Chen Xiangbei was still complaining to himself, "Brother, do you think Dad doesn't want me anymore because I'm too immature? How could he say such a thing?"
Chen Xiangnan grabbed his shoulders and shook him back and forth a few times, "Wake up, Third Brother. Our father is not a good person to begin with. You might as well rely on Mom to love you than on him. Did you hear what I just said? Once you finish this, I'll tell you what our father really thinks."
Chen Xiangbei: "You don't tell me now because you don't understand it yourself, so you want to sort it out and then fool me?"
Chen Xiangnan: ...When did this kid become so smart?
The two brothers parted ways. Chen Xiangbei looked to the left and right, and finally chose to go find his mother.
His father had already driven him away, so he really didn't want to go. Although he felt that he could stay there by making a fuss, he was too sad to argue with others.
Chen Xiangbei started crying as he walked, wiping his tears with his sleeves, and didn't notice that Jiang Wenhua from his mother's compound was following him.
Jiang Wenhua had just finished dinner with Fang Yingdi, and he had even given her a bottle of vanishing cream. The last time he saw her hands were dry, Jiang Wenhua had remembered it.
When Jiang Wenhua came out of the state-owned restaurant and walked happily towards home, he discovered something incredible. Chen Xiangbei, with whom he had cursed someone last time, started cursing with an old man and was even cursed in return.
It looked like a family matter, so Jiang Wenhua didn't help. Anyway, he felt that the familiar man standing next to Chen Xiangbei was not someone who could be easily fooled.
In the end, this kid didn't cry at first, and only started crying after everyone left. What a loser! If you want to cry, you should cry in front of others. What's the point of crying secretly? If your tears can't do anything, you will lose out.
Jiang Wenhua wanted to go up and talk to him, but he felt that if he said such things to others when they were crying, he might be hated, so he decided to just follow him.
When Chen Xiangbei entered the yard, Qiao Shan was taking an old hen from his backpack to Old Lady Xia. He stammered a little because he seldom talked so much with others, "Master, this is an old hen that my parents...my parents asked me to bring to you from the village. It's good for...good for your health. You two should eat it early. It's all ready.
And this fern, I... I picked it on the mountain today, it's very tender. Is there any work here... here that you need? I can do it, anything like repairing the house or fixing the table, I... I can do it. And..."
Mrs. Xia immediately stopped him from saying anything else. "Why are you so polite? I don't have anything to do here, and neither do your parents. Why are you being so polite? I'm not doing you any favors."
Qiao Shan laughed innocently. "Anyway, my mom said that apprentices have to do more work for their masters. That's the rule. Besides, you've helped my sister a lot, and Xiangbei has helped me a lot too. It's all due. Without you, our family might have fallen apart."
Now it was Old Lady Xia's turn to feel embarrassed. Although she said she had taken the brother and sister in, she hadn't taken any action. Apart from occasionally going to their house to give them some gifts as a way of returning a favor, and helping them scold the neighbors who took advantage of them, she hadn't done anything else.
On the contrary, they always come to give her things. Qiao Shan is like this, and so is Qiao Yi. If they have something good, they always think of bringing some to her.
Old Mrs. Xia is under a lot of psychological pressure and always feels sorry for others.
When Chen Xiangbei saw this scene, he suddenly felt ashamed, with tears still on his face. He quickly hid to the side, which scared Jiang Wenhua behind him.
