At the Chen family, Old Man Chen is experiencing an unprecedented experience of demolishing a house. Yang Su simply doesn't listen to him. Even though he said he would find them jobs, Yang Su still doesn't listen. She keeps talking about her money and her son's job.
After seeing that most of the things in his bedroom had been thrown away, Old Chen noticed that Yang Su was picking up a stool and was about to smash the window. This was absolutely not allowed.
You can make whatever noise you want at home, but wouldn’t it be a joke if outsiders saw it?
Even though they had just argued very loudly and people outside had probably heard it, Old Chen still didn't want everyone to see him arguing with Yang Su just a few days after getting married.
He had said in front of everyone that his new partner was a very gentle and virtuous woman.
A gentle and virtuous woman would never do anything like smashing things. Old Chen was afraid of losing face, and also afraid that Yang Su, the madman, would go out and smash things again, which would cause great losses. So he kept coaxing her, "Yang Su, Su Su, stop smashing things. I promise I can find a job for Wang Ming and I will never let him go to the countryside."
Yang Su: "Why should I believe you? You are full of tricks, and you tell lies every time you open your mouth. Why should I believe you? Anyway, if my second son goes to the countryside, I will die with you."
Old Chen: "Die together, do you want your sons to all have a murderer mother?"
Yang Su yelled, "I can't care about this anymore."
Old Chen saw that she was a little out of breath and asked, "Why don't you sit down and rest, and listen to what I have to say?"
Yang Su: "Why should I listen to you?"
Old Chen said: "It's just that little money. As long as you don't make a fuss, I'll give it to you first, okay? You are my wife, you can use my money."
Yang Su calmed down, rolled his eyes and said, "How much money can you have?"
Old Chen squatted down, pulled out a brick from the corner, and took out a small box from it. Inside was his money and bills. "Look, all my belongings are here."
Yang Su took the box, his heart burning with anxiety: "There are so many. What is this pile of money tied with red string?"
Old Chen smiled and said, "You can't touch this money. It's for Xiangbei to marry his wife and Xianghong to hold the wedding banquet. I've set some aside for them. You can spend the rest. Buy whatever you want."
Yang Su's voice softened. "Brother Chen, it's not good for you to give me all the money like this. If Xiangnan and Xiangbei find out, they'll make a fuss again."
Seeing Yang Su regain his sanity and become his old self again, Old Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "When did I let them decide my money? Besides, why don't I just not tell them? As for Wang Ming's work, I will keep it in mind."
Yang Su's mind was racing. She wanted Old Chen to spend all the money on her and her son, including the stack of money and bills tied with red ropes, but she had to take it slowly.
"Brother Chen, it's almost time to go to work. I'll go cook for you first. I'll clean up the bedroom later. I'll wash all the clothes. Just now I was... so sad. I was really afraid that you would lie to me." Yang Su held his throat and tried to make excuses for his behavior.
Old Chen took the box and said, "I don't take it to heart. Husband and wife should tolerate each other."
Yang Su: "Brother Chen, you are so kind."
After Yang Su left, Old Chen squatted on the ground and hid the box in another place.
Elsewhere, Chen Xiangbei stopped his second brother on his way to work. Since it was still early, Chen Xiangnan had no choice but to invite him to the hospital cafeteria for breakfast. "What do you want to see me about?"
Chen Xiangbei hesitated and said, "Second brother, I think we are targeting the wrong person."
Chen Xiangnan took a bite of the vegetarian bun and said, "Huh? What do you mean?"
Chen Xiangbei: "Dad is the worst person for what happened in our room. Actually, that old woman Yang Su seems to be just like that. Every mother favors her own children, so it's normal for her to covet our room. The most important thing is that Dad didn't try to stop it at all. He's just a useless old thing."
Chen Xiangnan remained calm: "So?"
Chen Xiangbei: "Second brother, why are you so calm? Aren't you angry when you hear this?"
Chen Xiangnan: "Isn't this obvious? You figured it out after thinking about it all night?"
Chen Xiangbei's eyes widened. "You already knew why you were still trying to cheat that old woman out of her money. Even though she wasn't very kind to us, we weren't very kind to her either. Four hundred yuan isn't a small sum. It's not good to cheat her out of it, is it? Otherwise, we'll go back. The money is still with you, right?"
Chen Xiangnan: "Why should I return it? The money is in our pockets, how can I return it? I know what kind of person that old woman is better than you. You think we cheated her out of money too much, but wasn't she too much when she cheated our dad into getting married? Wasn't it too much when she tricked dad into leaving Xiang Hong with no place to live at home? Wasn't that too much when she tricked dad into not wanting us children anymore?"
Chen Xiangbei: "But...putting one thing first, aren't you also planning to ruin his son's job?"
Chen Xiangnan was speechless. "You need to figure out who I was cheating people out of their jobs and money for. You want to be a good person now, so why did you get on my pirate ship in the first place? You feel sorry for her, but why don't you feel sorry for me? I spent so much effort to trick Wang De into talking.
If it weren't for me, you, Xiang Hong, and I would have all been bullied to death by them. You can use this money as compensation, or not. Do you think that old man didn't take our father's money and resources? Maybe in a few days, the money Mom left for us will be gone, and the money you have for marrying a wife will be gone."
Chen Xiangbei: "That's impossible. Dad can't be so confused. Besides, she hasn't started to do anything bad to us yet. Isn't it better for us to trick her first?"
Chen Xiangnan: "When you stole things from others before, did they cheat you first? Are you crazy now, telling me this?"
Chen Xiangbei: "Anyway, I don't think Dad would do that. Besides, I've turned over a new leaf now. I don't steal. I make more money helping people find out."
Chen Xiangnan rolled his eyes. "Don't tell me about your messy business. If Dad wasn't confused, how do you think that old man got into our house? I advise you to put away your foolish kindness. When the time comes and you don't get any of the family's things, I wonder if you will still think that we are asking for too much money."
Chen Xiangbei thought for a long time with a blank look in his eyes, and suddenly started stuffing himself with steamed buns, as if he was in a hurry to be reincarnated, and stopped talking to Chen Xiangnan.
As a result, he choked.
Chen Xiangnan handed over his water bottle with disdain, "Can't you eat slower? Can I steal your buns? I bought these buns for you. Who are you guarding against?"
Chen Xiangbei took several sips before swallowing the bun, "Brother, I'm going to steal Dad's money."
