Chen Xiangbei talked a lot with Old Lady Xia. Besides saying that he had no idea about the money and just didn't want the money to go to Yang Su for nothing, he also talked about his own feelings. Especially when he mentioned that Old Chen didn't want to give the money to Yang Su and specifically told others that the money could not be touched, Chen Xiangbei felt so guilty that he wanted to cry.
"Mom, I don't think my dad hasn't thought about us at all, right?" Chen Xiangbei was in a low mood. "He must have thought about me too, but I haven't graduated yet, so the second child of that old lady's family is more anxious, so he helped him find a job first, right?"
He just stared at Old Mrs. Xia, as if wanting to hear a positive answer from her.
Mrs. Xia suddenly felt a pang of sadness. This child never thought about these things before. He was always cheerful and happy. If his clothes were dirty or old, he would go through his father's wardrobe without hesitation. If they were torn, he would ask his sister to mend them for him. He never took being scolded to heart.
Even if I ran away from home, it would take them several days to remember me, and I would eventually come back on my own. But even so, I would not hold a grudge against them.
It's obvious that you have never been sensible since you were a child, but why are you asking this question now?
He must be very uneasy. His parents are divorced and his father remarried. He is not sure whether he and Old Chen will still treat him the same way as before. Is he thinking in his heart that he is an abandoned child?
He asked this question because he was trying to find out whether his biological father still cared about him. Because he really couldn't feel that Old Chen cared about him, he could only rely on himself to find some details to comfort himself.
Old Lady Xia patted his head and said, "Third brother, your father definitely has you in his heart."
Chen Xiangbei shook his head. "Really? But since he was able to find a job for Wang Ming, why didn't he find one for my second brother when he was unemployed? He has the ability but doesn't use it on his own children. But once someone says something nice to him, he'll eagerly help them. Previously, it was my second uncle's family, and now it's Yang Su's family.
He...he doesn't care about us at all. He just likes others to flatter him. He wants to be the head of the family and make everyone listen to him. When we children are disobedient, he will pamper other children. But other children will not listen to him even more, and he can't understand this. "
Chen Xiangbei lay on the table and cried softly for a few more times. Old Lady Xia touched his head and comforted him. Then he suddenly raised his head and said, "Mom, I don't want him to find me a job. Even if I don't have a job, I can still support myself. I don't have to rely on stealing. I can develop a lot of business.
"Mom, I can live well without stealing or working. I just don't understand why my dad is so nice to outsiders and so harsh to his own children. He lets them live in my room and just throws my things into my sister's room. He doesn't even bother asking me what I think. When I confronted him, he told me to get out if I didn't want to live there. Why is he so nice to them? I'm... so jealous."
As he spoke, Chen Xiangbei felt embarrassed to say it out loud. He was already such a grown-up child, but he was still jealous of his father because he was nice to other children. Chen Xiangbei felt that he was still not mature enough.
Then... he lay there and cried silently for a few more times.
Old Mrs. Xia also became angry on his behalf, thinking that Old Chen was truly a ruthless person.
Before, when his sister Chen Mei's daughter got married, it caused such a mess. I thought this old man would understand some truths. Even if they were his nephews, there were some people who should not be helped.
But now, he doesn't help his nephew anymore, and he still doesn't help his own son, but helps his stepson instead. Sometimes, Old Lady Xia really wants to dig out this dead old man's brain to see if it's full of maggots.
Seeing Chen Xiangbei's sad look, Old Lady Xia said, "Third brother, I'm going to ask someone to help you. Actually, I've been asking others to find a job for you. I definitely won't let you go to the countryside. I used to find one for your sister, but she has a job now and doesn't need one anymore, so I'm going to find someone to help you find one. If you still want to stay with your father, stay with him. If you don't want to stay with him, stay with me. You won't become a homeless child."
Chen Xiangbei's eyes were red: "This damn old man!"
Old Lady Xia sighed, "What a sin, sister! If I find a gay man like this looking for a partner, I will definitely explain it clearly to the woman. People like him who are confused are really causing great harm to others."
Chen Xiangbei wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "Thank you, Mom."
Old Lady Xia handed him a hot towel and said, "Silly boy, why are you thanking me?"
Chen Xiangbei finally went back. He said that he had already thought about the money issue and would come back to talk to Old Lady Xia after it was settled. Then he went out with the money in his pocket.
He came to the hospital in the cold wind.
In front of Old Chen's ward, there were only the three brothers and Chen Xianghong. None of the three children from the Wang family came. Yang Su was detained in the Public Security Bureau and had not been released yet.
According to Chen Xiangnan, after he finished recording the statement, he brought the police with him. At that time, Old Chen was sleeping, so they could not interrogate him. They said they would come again tomorrow.
Chen Xiangnan also understood what Old Chen meant, and his face was now so black it looked like ink could drip out of it. Even after being beaten like this, he still cared about his reputation and what others thought and refused to divorce. After all this trouble, why didn't Yang Su just beat him harder, so that he couldn't say a word?
He just thought about these things in his mind. He certainly wouldn't dare to say such outrageous words, otherwise something serious might happen.
The ward was quiet. Chen Xiangdong had been trying to persuade Old Chen all night, but he hadn't changed his mind. The older he got, the more stubborn he became. He believed everyone except his own children.
Chen Xianghong's mouth was dry, and Old Chen even glared at her. She didn't know what she said wrong.
Chen Xiangnan used both threats and inducements, but unfortunately it was of no use.
Faced with the repeated persuasion of several children, Old Chen's ears were like stuffed with chicken feathers, and he blocked out their voices.
Chen Xiangbei stuffed the money into the lining of his clothes. He didn't dare to take it out in this situation. When his father was mentally ill, it was better not to reason with him. It would be useless.
Let's keep this money with him for now and wait until his father is discharged from the hospital.
But when he saw Old Chen's dead look, he really couldn't help but get angry. He had just slowly expressed his grievances to Old Lady Xia, but it was useless to express his grievances to Old Chen. He might as well just start scolding him directly.
So, when no one tried to persuade him, Chen Xiangbei got on the microphone passionately and scolded Old Chen until his face turned red. Miraculously, he sat up with his dizzy head dragging, pointing at him and wanting to scold him but he didn't have the strength, and the sound he made could not cover Chen Xiangbei's loud voice at all.
It almost made him faint again.
