Old Xia gave him another problem, and Director Song sat slumped in the office with a look of despair on his face.
Yesterday at the end of the exchange meeting, as Director Li and Director Shao of the food factory almost got into a fight, Old Lady Xia talked to Director Song about the election.
It's not impossible to be elected, but applying to the higher-ups is a bit troublesome. When she told him about this yesterday, Deputy Director Tian was also there. He immediately refused upon hearing this, and Old Xia ended up arguing with him. The two of them almost became the second pair of leaders at the exchange conference to come to blows.
So sad!
Director Song looked out the window and lit a cigarette. He could quietly apply for her permission himself, but that would likely lead to other leaders raising objections and causing a scene in his office, which would be very troublesome for him.
In his heart, he secretly listed Old Lady Xia as the number one troublemaker in his factory, but the problem still had to be solved.
He thought about it and decided to help Old Lady Xia fulfill her wish. Being proactive and motivated is always better than doing nothing and even falling behind. He secretly cursed Deputy Director Tian a few more times in his heart.
Chen Xianghong and Yu Hongzhen have decided to get married at the end of the month. Old Mrs. Xia plans to invite her acquaintances to a meal at her home, and she doesn't care what happens to Old Chen.
Old Chen was also calculating the date of their wedding. When the time was almost up, he planned to invite a chef to prepare a table in the courtyard. After all, if she got married, everyone in the courtyard would probably come to help, just like when the second son remarried.
"Who do you think I should treat? What kind of dishes should I buy? Should the standard be the same as for the second one?" Old Chen asked Yang Su while standing in the room.
Yang Su had no idea what the standards were before, but if his daughter's marriage was the same as his son's, it would be too much of a loss.
Not only did Chen Xianghong not bring in a penny for her wedding, she even held the betrothal gift in her own hands. Some time ago, she had even urged Old Chen to ask for Chen Xianghong's betrothal gift, but the old man had heard from one of his sons that his previous wife had spent a lot of money on their daughter's wedding and let her hold the betrothal gift herself. Old Chen got angry and said that he earned more than that old woman after all, and if she didn't care about her daughter's betrothal gift, then he wouldn't care either.
Not only did he not care about her, he even spent a lot of money on her dowry, which made Yang Su very angry.
Later, the money she had saved was cheated away by those two brats. There has been no news until now, and it is estimated that she can't get it back. If Old Chen hadn't really found a job for his second son and waited until Chen Xianghong got married, Yang Su would have really made a fuss.
That's money!
Thinking of the job that Old Chen had told her about privately, Yang Su felt extremely satisfied. The most important thing was that both the favors and the money were from Old Chen, so she didn't have to pay anything, and of course she couldn't afford it.
Because of this work, Yang Su no longer had any resentment towards Old Chen's desire to hold a grand party for Chen Xianghong. Just how much could her family spend on setting up a few tables? It was not even a fraction of what her son earned from his job.
"Okay, let's have a grand wedding. Xiang Hong is your only daughter, so she should be married off in a grand manner. And she should marry such a good man like Xiao Yu. It would be great if everyone can share in the joy." Yang Su's words were so reasonable that Old Chen felt very relieved.
"Then I have to go find a chef quickly. Xiang Hong's wedding is a good day. If I go too late, I won't be able to book a good chef." Seeing that Yang Su did not object and seemed to agree, Old Chen immediately went back to the house to get the money and paid the deposit first before he could feel at ease.
He squatted in the house, moved the bricks with great effort, and took out the familiar box from inside. When he thought that even if he divorced Xia Yue'e, he could still marry Xiang Hong in a grand manner, Old Chen felt that he was very powerful.
He calculated how much he would get for the deposit, how much he would spend on groceries, and some red paper to decorate the room where Xiangbei lived. Even though Xiangbei originally lived in Xianghong's room, she would definitely have to get married in that room, so Xiangbei could sleep in the living room at that time.
He didn't care whether Chen Xiangbei was happy or not and just arranged it on his own.
He rubbed his hands and opened the box...
"ah--"
Old Chen held the box in his hands, terrified. Where was his money?
There is not a penny left, not a penny left for him.
Who stole his money? Old Chen was so frightened that he even felt his heart pounding.
All the children in the Chen family have seen this box, but they don't know where he hid it. Before Old Lady Xia divorced him, he used these two places to hide his private money and good things. When the third child stole his clothes before, he didn't find them in the most hidden places. How could they be stolen?
Old Chen really didn't want to suspect that the money was stolen by Yang Su, but after thinking about it, he realized that only Yang Su knew that there was such a hidden place in his house. Although he had changed his position, if she was smart, she would naturally find that there was more than one place to hide things in the house.
He had doubts in his heart, but he was still in a state of affection for Yang Su and could tolerate most of her questions, so he was also afraid that if he rashly asked, it might hurt their feelings. He knew Yang Su was a very simple person, and she loved him so much that she would never do such a thing.
Could it be that because she was unwilling to accept the fact that the second brother and his friends had taken away more than 400 yuan, she had set her sights on the money? How foolish! He had said that he would take care of their future life and treat them well, but why didn't he trust him and steal the money?
Old Chen found many excuses for Yang Su in order to find a reasonable explanation for her behavior of stealing money, so that he could resolve the misunderstanding and reconcile when questioning her later.
But he didn't seem to realize that he had naturally determined that Yang Su was the one who stole the money, and he didn't even need the other party to answer.
He carried the box outside and shouted, "Yang Su!"
Yang Su left the room to chat with someone else when he went to rummage through the box. Although she had advised herself not to care about the money, she still felt a little uncomfortable seeing Old Chen spending money on Chen Xianghong, so she simply left.
When Yang Su heard Old Chen's voice for the first time, she felt very dissatisfied. She had already escaped like this, but this old man still refused to let her go. It would be even more annoying if she couldn't stand it anymore and started a quarrel.
But since he was shouting, he had to respond out of courtesy, so Yang Su also shouted in the direction of his home.
Old Chen yelled at her to come back. Yang Su was unhappy but there was nothing she could do. She could only smile and tell the people she was chatting with that Old Chen couldn't leave home, then got up and went back.
She had no idea what was going on.
