Jiang Wenhua was still angry about the quarrel he had just had with Fang Yingdi when he returned to the compound. When he saw the warm scene of Old Lady Xia and Xia Yu'e sitting in front of their house, basking in the sun and drinking tea, he became furious.
He was so pissed off by Fang Yingdi, and Fang Yingdi was led astray by Old Xia. He had to piss Old Xia off, otherwise he would have nowhere to vent his anger. He would get sick if he kept it in his heart.
He came to Old Lady Xia and leaned against the wall, "Old Lady Xia, Xiao Fang and I almost went back to her house just now."
Old Lady Xia was puzzled: "How long have you two been together and you're already meeting each other's parents?"
Jiang Wenhua pursed his lips, "How is that possible?"
He brought up yesterday's events and today's, focusing on what Fang Yingdi had said. He didn't stop until he had Old Lady Xia completely confused. "Tell me, how do I feel when I hear something like that? What does she mean? She's upset, so she's trying to make me unhappy too. She insists that I'm wrong for helping my mom and sister? Look at you, what have you taught her?"
Old Lady Xia was truly confused. "Weren't you the one who made her unhappy first? You were the first to tell her family how bad things were. She already knew her family wasn't doing well, so why did she need you to tell her? She has her own ideas about her family's affairs. Why were you talking nonsense when she didn't ask for your advice?"
Besides, when she was talking about your family's troubles, what did you think she said was wrong? Oh, that's not right. You must have found that everything she said was right, so you couldn't refute a single word, not even a twisted reason, so you were so angry, right?
She'd hit a nerve, a point you'd previously deliberately forgotten. It was obvious to you, and now that Xiao Fang had laid it out in such a blatant way, you were furious. Like her, you couldn't let go of your family for the time being, so you tried to suppress these unpleasant things, preferably without bringing them up.
You may say that love is more important than money, but you know in your heart whether it is more important or not."
Jiang Wenhua was completely stunned by Old Lady Xia's long string of words. When did Old Lady Xia become like this? Before, he would find loopholes in her words and refute them after she had said a few words, but now... her logic was so tight?
Jiang Wenhua was a little skeptical about his life, and even paused for a moment before finding the loophole. "Old Xia, you talk about other people's family affairs very well, but you don't care about your own children at all. How come you can't change your children's temperament with such a sharp tongue?
Your eldest son is ungrateful and soft-hearted, he only listens to his wife. Your second son is smart but only cares about profit and likes to cheat young girls. Your third son does nothing every day and wanders around everywhere, he likes to pry into other people's affairs. And what's the difference between your daughter and my mother and sister?
Do you know what Xiao Fang told me today? She said that children from happy families miss home when they're tired and miss their parents when they're wronged. Do your kids miss you? It seems to me that besides trying to squeeze every penny out of you, they don't want to see you at all. You're someone like me, and you still want to save others? Your own family is a mess, so what right do you have to save others?
Old Lady Xia was not angry. What Jiang Wenhua said was all about the past. The current situation was different. However, if Jiang Wenhua hadn't woken her up today, she didn't know when these children started to trust her.
Was it after her divorce, or after she started to find what she wanted to do? She now seemed to have become a reliable person in the eyes of her children. Although not all of them trusted her, things were getting better little by little.
The third brother was her closest friend, always telling her everything. He even ran to her without a word when he was wronged a few days ago. When Xiang Hong was worried about her wedding, she would ask for her advice first. The second brother, though still selfish, would occasionally bring Tang Jiao to her place for dinner.
As for the eldest brother's family, I have hardly ever seen them. It's just that during the holidays, the eldest brother's wife would send some worthless things over, so I guess they were just relatives.
Old Lady Xia hadn't forgotten what happened in her past life. But she didn't want to be in a state of constant anger facing her children anymore. She wasn't completely innocent in her past life. Since the children were slowly changing, and she was slowly changing too, she just had to protect her money and wait and see what happened next.
She has things she wants to do now, and if she keeps holding a grudge against her child, it would be a bit unfair to herself after her rebirth. Her world has obviously begun to become wider, so why should she still focus on those things at home?
Old Lady Xia had her own plans in mind, so she wouldn't be affected by Jiang Wenhua's words. "Xiao Jiang, even if my own family is in a mess, I can still help others. It's not that when my family has problems, I feel I have no right to intervene when I see others being bullied.
If I see someone being beaten, I want to stop it and tell them that hitting others is wrong. If I see someone crying, I want to go over and hand her a handkerchief, comforting her that everything will pass and it's no big deal. I don't care about anything, I just want to do it."
Jiang Wenhua sneered and turned away. He felt that Old Lady Xia was too naive. She was an old lady and yet she wanted to change. She couldn't even take care of herself and yet she wanted to meddle in other people's affairs. She simply didn't know her place. He was just waiting for the old lady to be disliked by everyone. She had instigated so many people, and her fate would not be good either.
But even thinking so, Jiang Wenhua still couldn't help feeling upset. The quarrel between him and Fang Yingdi had already happened, and Fang Yingdi didn't even smile at him before they separated. How was he supposed to coax a female comrade? He had no experience in this.
On the other side, as soon as Old Chen and Yang Su left the house, Chen Xiangbei sneaked into their bedroom and started searching everywhere.
Based on past experience, his father would definitely put the money in a very hidden place, definitely not in the closet or under the bed.
Why do I think so? Because Chen Xiangbei had come to steal Old Chen's clothes and rummage through his bedroom before, so he is very experienced.
Chen Xiangbei searched for a long time with his butt sticking out, sweating all over. Finally, when he accidentally knocked on a brick, he found that the sound was different. He moved it away excitedly, and then found that it was empty.
He was no longer the same person he used to be. Chen Xiangbei could use his brain now. For example, he thought that since there was such a place in the room, there must be a second hole for his father to hide the money. As the saying goes, an old rabbit has three burrows, so his father must have dug more than one hole.
After a while, he had a box in his hand, which was the one that Old Chen had shown Yang Su before.
He opened the box and saw the familiar bundle of money. Yes, after the divorce, Old Chen told all the children in the family that the money was for them, so everyone knew it.
Chen Xiangbei was very hesitant. He was thinking about whether to take only the money for himself and his brothers and sisters, or take all the money.
