Yang Su was furious. She lost such a large sum of money right after getting married, and Old Chen was still here as if nothing had happened. On one hand, there was the money she had saved up over the years, and on the other hand, there was the unfulfilled promise that Old Chen had promised her. She could easily guess which was more important.
Yang Su went crazy on the spot, "Report it to the police, go ahead, that's my money, no matter what, it's still my money, Yang Su's. Old Chen, are you pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth, just to cheat me out of my money to subsidize your useless sons?"
She grabbed Old Chen by the collar and screamed heart-wrenchingly.
Old Chen was immediately startled by Yang Su's sudden voice. It was so fierce, even fiercer than Old Lady Xia's. He almost thought Yang Su was possessed by Old Lady Xia and began to stutter. "Su Su, I...how can I possibly subsidize them? You know how much money I have. You also know how much money I have. There's no need for me to take your money."
Yang Su: "But you just watched them take my money without even shouting at them, and now you're telling me to report it to the police. Why didn't you tell them to report it? You say you trust me, but in the end you can't even get your money back. How can you call that trust?"
Old Chen said, "But what Lao Er said makes sense. The amount of money he said last night all matches up. The 150 yuan from Xiang Bei and the 300 yuan from Xiang Hong are both correct. He's not familiar with any of your family, especially Wang Ming. Lao Er barely spoke to him, so how could he know he had so much money?"
Wang De next to him didn't think about himself yet. He had talked too much with Chen Xiangnan and had long forgotten that he was the one who talked to him about the money.
Yang Su was still hysterical. "How should I know how he knew that? That's your second son, not mine. Now my second son's money has been taken away by your second son. This is an indisputable fact."
Old Chen said, "Can you please stop being unreasonable? Just like my second son said, you can't explain the source of the money. Your parents-in-law haven't said a single useful word to you yet. I don't think they even want to talk to you, and I can't tell how much they love their grandson. You tell me that's their coffin money, do you think I'll believe it?"
Yang Su: "That's our money!"
Old Chen: "Then tell me, where did you get this money? You keep saying it's yours. Did you tell the police the same thing? I said it was my money, but who would believe me?"
Yang Su was completely confused. He was torn between telling the truth and continuing to make trouble. In the end, he decided to tell the truth for the money. "Lao Chen, this is all the money I have earned from working for so many years. Before I met you, I wanted to bear all the expenses of several children by myself. My second child is about to start working, so I gave him all the money.
I lied to you about something I told you before. All the money we have in our family is this 460 yuan. I just wanted you to find him a job. Once you find one, I'll give you the money for the job, even if I have to borrow money. I definitely won't let you suffer any loss. I won't let you suffer any loss. You know me well enough to know my character in the few months you've been with me. I've only lied to you once."
As she spoke, Yang Su began to cry softly, and her tears fell down her cheeks to the ground, which was seen clearly by Old Chen.
Old Chen was very upset when he heard Yang Su had lied to him, and her emotional breakdown just before had made him even more annoyed. However, when Yang Su looked at him with tears in her eyes, Old Chen's wavering heart finally leaned towards her, and all the unhappiness just now seemed to dissipate.
"Susu, I... believe you. I'll go talk to them in the evening. You can take the children home first."
Yang Su nodded, sobbed a few times, and said to Wang De, "Big Boss, go with your Uncle Chen to work. Mom will prepare dinner for you at home. She will also dry all the quilts for the whole family so that everyone can be more comfortable. When Xiangnan and Xiangbei come back at night, they will sleep more comfortably."
Old Chen immediately felt that Yang Su was someone who could handle life, unlike Old Lady Xia, who kept the whole family busy and hustling. This was a virtuous woman, someone he could spend his life with.
Even if something unpleasant had just happened in the family, Yang Su was able to keep the house in order. This is what a woman should do most.
"Don't get too tired. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative tonight and buy you some brown sugar cakes."
Yang Su: "Old Chen, you are so kind."
Wang De followed Old Chen with a dark face. He didn't have a penny in his pocket and didn't know what to eat for lunch. He wondered if his mother had forgotten to give him the meal ticket.
All his money was with Yang Su, including the meal and meat coupons. Every morning, Yang Su would prepare money for his meals, but today, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Wang De thought back to Chen Xiangnan's words last night, and felt even more that Yang Su, as a mother, was biased. Perhaps she hoped that he, the eldest son, would die and give the job to Wang Ming.
Wang De felt wronged and angry, but he didn't say anything, as if he was sulking. He just wanted to know when his mother would find out that he was going to go hungry today.
Yang Su was so busy that she forgot. She was confused by Chen Xiangnan yesterday and again today. She lost her money and almost exposed her true character. She was so busy.
Chen Xiangbei, who had run away, was now in Old Lady Xia's room. He took off his coat and fell asleep. Chen Xiangnan tried to persuade him, but he didn't say a word, as if he was dumb with anger.
In desperation, he had to come out and chat with Xia Yu'e, "Aunt, my mother shouldn't be working overtime recently, right?"
Xia Yu'e: "No overtime, no overtime, what's wrong with Xiangbei?"
Chen Xiangnan: "I was mad at the girl my dad married later, and my dad was partial and wanted to beat people up."
Xia Yu'e: "He was beaten?"
Chen Xiangnan: "I got slapped, but I don't think anything happened."
Xia Yu'e: "That's good. You should go to work soon. Your father-in-law worked hard to get you a job. Don't embarrass him."
Chen Xiangnan nodded and went out, "I'll bring Tang Jiao over after work."
Xia Yu'e went into the room and took a look at Chen Xiangbei. She found that the child's face was a little swollen, so she soaked Old Lady Xia's face towel and applied it to Chen Xiangbei's face.
Chen Xiangbei didn't fall asleep at all. He was really angry and wanted to knock the woman into the river and drown her. He also wanted to throw his confused old father into the river to cleanse his brain.
People who feel aggrieved are the most unable to bear such gentle care from others. He had not shown his grievance at first, but after seeing Xia Yu'e apply a cold compress on his face, he finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
