When he went out, Chen Xiangbei's head was blown by the cold wind, and he became a little more sober.
Touching his empty pockets, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
His money, the money he had saved with great difficulty, the money he earned by snooping on other people's secrets day and night, his hard-earned money, was gone in an instant.
Chen Xiangbei wanted to cry but he had no tears, but he had already given it to her and he couldn't ask for it back. Then what would he become?
Chen Xiangbei pouted and walked slowly towards home.
When he got home, Old Chen was sitting in the house waiting for him. His eyes looked at him fiercely, not as if he was looking at his son but as if he were an enemy. "Where have you been?"
Chen Xiangbei: "Then where did you go after work?"
Old Chen slammed the table. "As a son, you're controlling me?"
Chen Xiangbei: "Aren't you waiting here just to scold me?"
Old Chen: "You're becoming more and more brazen in your speech. Who did you learn this from?"
Chen Xiangbei: "I learned it from you."
As soon as Old Chen stood up, Chen Xiangbei ran away.
He was the only child at home today. His sister might have been there but didn't come out. If he was beaten, no one would testify for him. He didn't do anything wrong today.
Old Chen shouted from behind: "Stop."
Chen Xiangbei: "I won't, you want to hit me."
Old Chen: "I won't hit you."
The two of them stopped together. Old Chen was a bit old, and Chen Xiangbei had angered him a little, so his face turned red. "Let me ask you, did you go to check on your Aunt Su?"
Chen Xiangbei said loudly: "No, I don't know anything about Aunt Su."
He didn't even know if she was Aunt Su or not, so whose aunt she was. How could someone like her dare to say that she was his, Chen Xiangbei's aunt? Bah, he wouldn't admit it.
Old Chen: "You obviously went there. Don't tell me you weren't the one hanging around your Aunt Su's house those few days, asking people if there was anything wrong with her family?"
Chen Xiangbei answered without any psychological burden: "It's not me."
Old Chen: "Who else is there besides you?"
Chen Xiangbei shouted, "It must be my second brother."
Old Chen stepped forward and slapped him, "You're talking nonsense! Are you going to frame others now?"
After being slapped, Chen Xiangbei decisively turned around and ran away, and did not look back no matter how Old Chen shouted at him.
Chen Xiangbei felt that he had a miserable life. He was a good child who went home obediently, but was slapped in the face. He didn't know who to complain to.
Let this old man be alone for the rest of his life, and he won’t support him in the future.
Chen Xiangbei thought viciously in his heart, looking at the dark road, he didn't know where to go.
If I go to his mother, she and my aunt will definitely ask. It seems I should go to my second brother. It was him who asked me to investigate. It's all his fault.
Chen Xiangbei ran to his second sister-in-law's parents' home.
In the middle of the night, Chen Xiangnan was sleeping at home when he heard the window of his and Tang Jiao's room rattling. The strange rattling of the window at this time was really scary. Tang Jiao woke up, holding her stomach, her heart pounding.
Chen Xiangnan had no choice but to draw open the curtains, and what came into view was a...big toad lying on the window. Chen Xiangnan opened the window and found that the frog was the one held by Chen Xiangbei.
"Are you going to die? What are you doing? Where did you get this toad? Isn't it disgusting?"
Chen Xiangbei chuckled, "Brother, this is a frog, it's delicious. It's a gift from me to you. Please take me in for one night."
Chen Xiangnan slammed the window shut and said, "Get out."
Seeing Tang Jiao's confused look, he comforted her: "Jiaojiao, go to sleep, it's okay, this kid must have somewhere else to go."
Tang Jiao shook her head. "Let him in. Something must have happened and that's why he came looking for us."
Chen Xiangnan had no choice but to get up and open the door.
Chen Xiangbei was still squatting by their window. Chen Xiangnan walked over and slapped him on the head. "Come in, throw away that toad of yours. You're not allowed to bring it in. Go wash your hands. You're so dirty."
Chen Xiangbei washed his hands bitterly and followed him. "When you need me, you ask me to help with the investigation. When you don't need me, you say I'm dirty. You have such a bad character."
Tang Jiao also came out and saw the red marks on his face. She screamed, "Xiangbei, what's wrong with your face?"
Chen Xiangbei's eyes immediately turned red. "Sister-in-law, my dad beat me to death for that woman. You don't know. I just said I disagreed, and before I even started to scold him, he started beating me. Wuuwuwu~"
Even though the situation was not as serious as he said, it did not stop Chen Xiangbei from slandering his father everywhere. Who made his father want to have a twilight romance at such an old age? No one in the family agreed, but he insisted on having his own way.
Everyone should hate him, Chen Xiangbei thought angrily.
"Brother, sister-in-law, let me tell you, I actually investigated that woman. She's not a good person. According to her neighbors, she's a vicious and evil woman..."
Tang Jiao brought some medicinal wine and a mirror and asked Chen Xiangbei to apply it himself, otherwise his skin might get swollen tomorrow.
Chen Xiangbei originally thought it was indifferent, but when he saw that his sister-in-law cared about him so much, he really began to feel aggrieved. "Sister-in-law, you are so kind. My brother married you, which really wronged you."
Chen Xiangnan's face suddenly turned dark. He had been so kind as to take this brat in, but he actually dared to sow discord between him and the Tang family.
Tang Jiao is now the one who distrusts him the most. He has been much more honest in the hospital, but it is still difficult to gain the trust of the Tang family. That's why he has been living in the Tang family recently, trying to impress them with his sincerity.
It doesn’t matter whether you are sincere in your heart or not, what matters is that your actions are sincere. People in the Tang family value this more.
Chen Xiangbei carefully rubbed the medicinal wine on himself, then continued, "That woman is really a shrew. After her husband died, she took control of her husband's family. I heard that she was a domineering woman in her parents' family, and then after she got married, she became a shrew in her husband's family. Anyway, she beat people from both sides."
Chen Xiangnan shook his head. "That's impossible. You must have seen it wrong. That day, she didn't look like a queen of flowers in front of our father. She looked like an old white flower."
Chen Xiangbei: "Tsk, can't she just pretend for a bit? Otherwise, how will she find a gay man? It's said that she used to know this trick, which is why she was able to marry her dead husband. Otherwise, with her reputation, it would be difficult for her to get married."
Chen Xiangnan was stunned. There was actually a woman whom he couldn't see through.
Seeing that Tang Jiao had become interested and sat down, Chen Xiangbei had no choice but to continue, "That Yang Su originally didn't want to remarry. She felt that she was quite happy raising three sons on her own. No one bothered her and she didn't feel any pressure. But after her eldest son was persuaded to go to the countryside, she couldn't live like this anymore."
