Yang Su tossed and turned with a pale face for most of the night. When Old Chen realized that he could not persuade him any more, he just fell asleep. No matter which side was wrong, he was definitely not wrong.
The two brothers Wang Ming and Wang Xian climbed out the window several times in the first half of the night and were caught by Chen Xiangbei every time. Not only was he caught, but Chen Xiangbei, the most despicable of all, humiliated them before letting them go back. The two brothers cursed him madly in their hearts.
Wang Ming was still thinking about the legend that only the second son in their Chen family was smart, so how come Chen Xiangbei could also notice their actions of climbing through the window in the first half of the night?
The two brothers lay dejected in the room that once belonged to Chen Xiangbei. The most terrifying thing was that Chen Xiangbei would not even let them sleep. As soon as they felt sleepy, Chen Xiangbei would come in and rummage through the drawers, saying he was looking for something, then saying that this room held some memories for him. He insisted on listening to his unpleasant stories in the middle of the night.
Wang De came back in the late night. When he came back, Chen Xiangnan was sitting alone in the living room, with a light on...reading a book.
Wang De was shocked. What normal person would do such an abnormal thing? If he was not familiar with Chen Xiangnan, he would have thought he saw a ghost. Chen Xiangnan's face was really ugly.
"Xiangnan, why are you sitting here? Why don't you go to sleep? Your sister-in-law is back, right?" Wang De thought of Chen Xiangnan's care for him during this period, and he was still worried about him. In addition, their two families had merged into one, so they were naturally brothers. He even felt that Chen Xiangnan was closer to him than his two younger brothers. He was capable and spoke well, so Wang De felt that he could get along well with him.
Seeing him come back, Chen Xiangnan...showed a very cordial smile, "Brother De, you're back. Tang Jiao fell asleep in the room, and I don't want to wake her up. Can you sit with me for a while?"
Wang De naturally agreed. There was a particularly urgent job in their factory today, so several groups worked overtime together. After everything was completed, they were told that they could have a half-day break tomorrow morning, so Wang De didn't mind this little sleep time.
"Brother De, your class is really hard." Chen Xiangnan brought up the topic.
After saying this, Wang De felt like he had a lot to complain about. He had never done such a tiring job before, but this was what his mother had exchanged her own work for him. He couldn't tell her that he was tired and suffering, otherwise she would definitely say that she couldn't endure hardship or something like that, which was really annoying.
But he had no scruples when it came to Chen Xiangnan. Xiangnan was a good comrade and the one who understood him the most.
"Xiangnan, you really don't understand. My class is truly a living hell. How could there be such a busy factory? I think our group is the busiest and most tiring. We have to work overtime during holidays. The supply and marketing cooperatives outside are waiting for our canned goods. But who knows how hard it is for us?"
Wang De followed Chen Xiangnan outside to avoid disturbing the people who were sleeping, mainly because Chen Xiangnan was afraid that some people would hear them.
Chen Xiangnan nodded. "Yes, your situation is truly difficult. Hey, why did Aunt Su insist on finding you a workshop job? Why couldn't she use some connections to find you an office job?
You see, even though my father-in-law isn't my biological father, he truly cares about me. He knew I couldn't endure hardship, so he arranged for me to work in the hospital office. I didn't even have to be on duty. Every time I think of this, I feel warm in my heart. "Thinking people are truly caring.
Wang De was as angry as ever. "Yeah, you don't know, my mom is so partial. She only knows how to make me humble myself to my two younger brothers. But they are not as good as me in school, and they are not as efficient as me in work. In the future, I will be the one to take care of her in her old age. I feel so wronged."
Chen Xiangnan immediately expressed his understanding. "Brother De, I understand you perfectly. Although I'm not the eldest child in the family, ever since my eldest brother was separated from the family, the burden of the family has fallen on my shoulders. I'm the second child, neglected by my family since I was young, and I've suffered a lot since I was a child. Why do you think I have to bear the responsibility of the eldest child in the end?"
Wang De was angry: "Yeah, why do we always have to suffer losses? Why?"
Chen Xiangnan approached Wang De mysteriously and whispered, "Brother De, you have a job. When your second son graduates, will he also go to the factory?"
Wang De was confused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's probably it. My mother gave him money. He must have saved it slowly and finally got a job in the factory. In any case, it's impossible for him to go to the countryside."
Chen Xiangnan pretended to be hesitant and wanted to say something but didn't dare to, which really prompted Wang De to ask, "Xiangnan, do you know something?"
Chen Xiangnan sighed, "Brother De, I'm not being nosy, but I really feel sorry for you. You are the eldest son of your family, so you should have the best resources. But Aunt Su told Wang Ming today that she married for Wang Ming. If it weren't for his job, she wouldn't have thought of getting married at all."
Moreover, I heard her telling my dad to pay for and find him an office. She...she couldn't bear to let Wang Ming go to the workshop, which was so hard and tiring. She also said that you are a piece of wood that can't handle things, and you can't be relied on at all.
When she changed jobs, she actually had the opportunity to transfer you to the office. It would have cost her a little money, but she didn't want to because you earn more in the workshop and can help her raise her two sons. She also said that since you're the eldest, you should endure hardships.
Wang De's face turned ugly: "What? Did she really say that?"
Chen Xiangnan lowered his head and didn't look at him. "Just treat it as nonsense. Don't think too much about it. After all, she is your biological mother."
Wang De: "Xiangnan, just tell me the truth. You also said that I will be your brother from now on. What can't brothers say to each other?"
Chen Xiangnan said in embarrassment: "But..."
Wang De: "Don't say but, just tell me everything."
Seeing that he was anxious, Chen Xiangnan had to "hesitantly" say: "You told me before that your mother gave your second brother more than 450 yuan to buy him a job, but my father didn't know about this at all, and he even asked us to borrow money for Wang Ming's matter.
I thought about what you said, and I found the money from him tonight. Then your mother said that this money was given by your grandparents to your second son. I said that this was absolutely impossible. You are the eldest son, so why would you give so much money to your second son? But she insisted that it was true and planned to confront your grandparents tomorrow.
But the point is, I heard her tell Wang Ming to ask my dad to find him a job, and then use the money to smooth things over. Instead of working in the workshop, which is particularly tiring, she'd go to the office to smooth things over. I...I feel bad for you, De Ge. You work so hard to support your family, but why should Wang Ming just enjoy a life of luxury when he works?
Wang De's chest was heaving with anger. "Do I deserve to be exhausted to death?"
