Old Chen couldn't remember how he walked out of the alley that day. He and his youngest son started by scolding each other, and later almost got into a fight. As a result, as soon as he raised his hand, the boy cried as if his father had died, and he was so scared that he immediately retracted his hand.
In the end, he didn't know how he agreed to him. Anyway, after getting his consent, the little bastard left sobbing.
He set the time for the only rest day of the week. After leaving the alley, Chen Xiangbei went to find his second brother first, told him about this matter, and asked him and his second sister-in-law to go there early.
Afterwards, he went to find his sister again. Although Chen Xianghong said that it didn't matter to her whether she had the money or not, and she was not short of money at the time, after Chen Xiangbei argued with her angrily, Chen Xianghong also said that she would go earlier.
Finally, he found his eldest brother's family. Their situation was much simpler. When they heard that they could share the money, they immediately agreed, and both of them had smiles on their faces.
Old Mrs. Xia had no idea what her third son was doing. She was incredibly busy canvassing for votes. The factory director had even approved this opportunity for her. As Xu Meiyu had said, she was quite popular in the factory, especially among the women, so she had a good chance this time.
It is said that there are only a few people who signed up, and the others were recommended by leaders of other departments. If we only look at the voting results, they should not have any advantage over me.
A promising position is already beckoning to her. If she fails to seize this opportunity, she will really be sorry for the support of so many people.
These days, Old Mrs. Xia was so tired that she didn't even have the energy to eat when she got home. She just lay down on the bed without saying a word.
Her sister Xia Yu'e was also very happy. She had known for a long time that her sister was a very capable person. Not only was she good at studying, she was also smart, kind and just, did things conscientiously, and listened to others. She was simply a perfect lesbian.
This time, her sister will definitely be able to succeed. If she fails, then there must be someone behind the scenes doing something bad.
Xia Yu'e felt that she couldn't fall behind, so she cooked various dishes for her. Seeing that she was tired, she wanted to feed her.
Time soon came to the holiday, and all the children came to Chen's house.
I thought about how a year ago, we were all playing and fighting in this house, fighting for food, and watching the fun together. But I didn’t expect that now, the opportunities to get together have become so few.
Several people looked at each other at the door, sighing.
"Go in." Chen Xiangnan spoke first. Although there is order of seniority, looking at the attitude of Chen Xiangdong, the eldest brother, it is clear that he cannot be expected to be the person in charge, so Chen Xiangnan has become accustomed to taking the lead himself.
Many people came into the room at once. Old Chen squinted his eyes and felt that he had not seen such a lively atmosphere for a long time. He had mixed feelings in his heart. If it were not for the money, these children probably would not have come so early.
Old Chen found a random excuse to send Yang Su and the three children of the Wang family out. Old Chen felt that if Yang Su was present at such a scene, something uncontrollable might happen. Although the money was originally for the children to do something big, Old Chen was still panicked, fearing that Yang Su would go crazy again.
Although he was clearly dividing his own money openly, he felt a guilty conscience in his heart. He couldn't wait for it to be over quickly so that he could continue to live a stable life. "Hurry up and divide the money, Lao San, take out the money."
Chen Xiangbei took out an oil-paper bag from his coat and opened it on the table. All the money in the box was there, not a penny missing. Old Chen didn't even need to count them to know that the knotting method of the red rope had not changed, the stains on the one-cent coins were still there, not to mention those wrinkled bills, all of them were there.
Seeing this, Old Chen felt that his head being smashed could have been avoided. If the third brother and the others had told him earlier that they wanted to divide the money, could he not have agreed?
Even if he doesn't agree, he will agree if he says it a few more times. He is not a father who doesn't love his children, and he doesn't want to have such a quarrel with them.
Old Chen always forgets the pain after his wound has healed, and he always likes to think highly of himself. His biggest shortcoming is his lack of self-awareness.
Not to mention Chen Xiangnan, even Chen Xiangbei knew what was going on in Old Chen's mind when he saw his expression. He was also afraid of unnecessary complications and afraid that his father would say something disgusting again, so he directly interrupted Old Chen's fantasy and said, "Dad, don't waste time, just break up. If Aunt Su comes back and makes a scene with you later, we will have to borrow a tricycle again."
Chen Xiangdong suddenly laughed out loud without any conscience, "Dad, if it really doesn't work out, we should just buy one ourselves. If we borrow it a few more times, their tricycle will be indistinguishable from ours."
Chen Xiangdong got the beating he wanted and shut up.
Old Chen slowly opened the stack of money. It had been divided long ago. He had divided it up from the very beginning when he divorced Old Lady Xia. He took out small stacks and placed them on the table. "I originally thought that when the second child had a son, I would take out this stack. When Xiang Hong got married, I would take out another stack for her to keep as a treasure. When the third child got married and had a child, I would take out this stack..."
Old Chen rambled on, stroking the wrinkles on the money, his words revealing sadness and loneliness, "That's right, I got married later, and you kids didn't trust me that much to begin with, so it's better to divide it up early to avoid a fight."
Chen Xiangdong waited for a long time, but didn't hear Old Chen say which stack his family belonged to. He felt sorry for his father, but...
"Dad, which stack of money does our family have?" Chen Xiangdong asked shamelessly, rubbing his fingers.
The little bit of emotion that Old Chen had just developed was destroyed by this little bastard.
He slapped Chen Xiangdong hard with his hand: "You only care about money! You only care about money! Money is all you care about. After the family split up, you never brought Baoyuan to see me. In your eyes, except for money, you don't care about anyone else, right?"
Chen Xiangdong cried out in injustice, "Dad, you've already separated me from everyone else. I have things to do, too. Can you please stop acting like a baby?"
Old Chen was a little angry, but he refused to give in and said, "You also know that you have divided the family business, so why did you come back to share the money? I will share your share of the money with your two brothers."
Chen Xiangdong and Zhu Wenying could no longer sit still and immediately started screaming.
Chen Xiangnan covered Tang Jiao's ears and shouted, "Brother and sister-in-law, can you please stop making trouble? If I hadn't given you any money, the third brother wouldn't have called you here. You are older than us, why do you have the same mentality as Baoyuan?"
