When Old Lady Xia came back, Chen Xiangbei was really asleep, but Xia Yu'e told her what Chen Xiangnan had told her, and Old Lady Xia was cursing Old Chen madly in the house.
"Sister, tell me, a biological son, a lesbian he just met outside, and a few of his children, and he actually let his own son suffer?"
Xia Yu'e: "He's just confused, otherwise he wouldn't do such a thing."
Old Lady Xia: "Xiangnan is a smiling tiger. He can be so angry. I think Chen Weiguo is hopeless."
Xia Yu'e: "How could there be such a person?"
Old Lady Xia: "Xiangbei used to seem reckless and ignorant, but he has become much more sensible recently. How could a father like him just slap him without knowing the truth..."
Xia Yu'e: "Uh... maybe I'll learn from you. You can be quite unreasonable with the kids sometimes."
Old Lady Xia pointed at herself and said, "Me? How could I have that?"
Xia Yu'e: "Didn't you tell me about your past? There were times when you didn't even speak clearly before you started to get involved."
Old Mrs. Xia was confused: "Maybe? But I'm not like that now. I'm very reasonable now. I only take action when the other party is unreasonable with me..."
Seeing Xia Yu'e's increasingly speechless expression, Old Lady Xia changed her tone: "I know, if I want to be the director of women's affairs, I'd better not do anything, but I can't do it now, right?"
Xia Yu'e: "Even if you can't become the wife, you can't just do it casually. If you do it within your family, it's fine, but outsiders may not tolerate you. If it gets out of hand, you might even be wrong."
Old Lady Xia: "Sister, you're still blaming me. Didn't you also hit Chengping until he bled at the Public Security Bureau last time?"
Xia Yu'e: "Don't you allow me to make progress? I watch you read those books every day. It's not like I can't understand what you're saying. I've made progress too."
Old Lady Xia: "Okay, I will convince people with reason from now on, okay? I'll go see if Xiangbei is awake."
She walked into the room and saw Chen Xiangbei turned over and stood in front of her, almost scaring her, "You woke up, why don't you make a sound? Wash your hands and eat."
Chen Xiangbei followed her silently, serving dishes and rice. He looked like a sensible child, but Old Mrs. Xia was really not used to it.
You know, Chen Xiangbei used to be the talkative one in the family. He would talk to people when there were people around, and even chat with the ants on the ground when there was no one around. Today, he didn't say a word, which made Grandma Xia think that this child might have some kind of trauma.
"Are you okay, third brother?" Old Mrs. Xia grabbed Chen Xiangbei, who was moving the stools after serving the dishes. At this time, Chen Xiangnan and his wife had not returned yet, so she could ask him questions while waiting for them to eat.
Chen Xiangbei shook his head, and after enduring for a while, he couldn't help it anymore, "Mom, you really don't know how bad that old woman my dad married was."
Old Lady Xia: “Hmm?”
Chen Xiangbei started talking non-stop, and kept talking until Chen Xiangnan and his wife came to eat. He talked while eating, and then talked about the couple leaving. He kept talking. When it got dark, he wiped the table, skillfully took out the quilt from the cabinet and made the table himself. He... kept talking.
"Xiangbei, you just kept saying that the wife your father married later was bad." Old Mrs. Xia said while lying on the bed with the door open.
"Yes, she is so bad. She wants to kick us all out and use my dad's money to support her children." Chen Xiangbei was angry.
"Why do I feel that your father has bigger problems? You are Chen Weiguo's son, not her Yang Su's son. Chen Weiguo watched her move your things out without stopping her. Chen Weiguo thought it didn't matter that Xiang Hong's room was gone. It was Chen Weiguo who beat you." Old Mrs. Xia said softly.
Chen Xiangbei jumped off the table and came to his mother's room. He was stunned by what she said. "But if it weren't for Yang Su, I wouldn't have given up my room at all. My sister's room would still be there."
Old Lady Xia: "If your father had considered you, your room would still be there. Everyone will give priority to their own children. Think about your second uncle, third uncle and your aunt, aren't they all like that?"
Chen Xiangbei nodded. "Apart from beating me, my dad didn't do anything excessive. Yang Su is different. She simply moved our things away."
Old Lady Xia: "Your father didn't do anything excessive, but he didn't do anything wrong either. Just like the room issue, didn't he think about it before getting married? Didn't he know that Yang Su's children moved in? Didn't he know that there weren't enough rooms? But he didn't do anything.
Yang Su has moved in now and wants his child to have a room to sleep in, so he'll have to use your room. And your father didn't bother to stop it, he didn't even bother to discuss it. Just like marrying him, he thinks the house is his and marrying a wife is his business alone, and it has nothing to do with you, so he doesn't think it's necessary to discuss it with you.
Why doesn't he speak, why doesn't he do anything?"
Chen Xiangbei looked at Old Lady Xia blankly, "Men are all a little careless."
Old Lady Xia laughed and said, "If it involves his own room, do you think he would be careless?"
Old Mrs. Xia didn't want to say anything more. What she said now seemed to be saying bad things about Chen Weiguo. After all, he was Chen Xiangbei's biological father, so it would be difficult to say anything more excessive.
But Chen Xiangbei...understood.
"Mom, when my dad called you a shrew, you were actually fighting for his interests, right?"
Old Mrs. Xia turned over with her back to him and stopped talking.
But the more Chen Xiangbei thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Every time his mother quarreled, it was because of the good things his father had done. Just look at last year, the incident with Widow Huang was so big, but the root cause was actually his father. There were so many things like this, and his father just kept silent behind the scenes, and in the end, it was his mother who was scolded by others.
The same thing happened today. Just like what mom said, his dad didn't do anything excessive, but he didn't do anything either. He just stood there and let the old man do whatever he wanted. After something happened, he would judge who was right and who was wrong like a judge. Maybe watching them struggling to explain themselves would be as fun as watching a monkey.
Bah, you old man! You shameless old man!
He is the worst, that's him!
Even his second brother knew that it was better to leave benefits to family members than to outsiders, but his father didn't know. Chen Xiangbei understood that Yang Su would leave the benefits to his son, but he really couldn't understand his father's behavior.
How can a man who always says that a harmonious family brings prosperity, hide behind a woman with such a clear conscience and watch his children and his spouse quarreling like crazy without doing anything?
They said they were a family, but when it came to the big event, this old man didn't even bother to discuss it with his daughter. He just got her married without any consultation. He watched helplessly as his daughter had no room and indirectly kicked her out of the house without any guilt at all.
This old man's conscience is absolutely black.
